Hali'imaile General Store

This was hands down the best meal we’ve had in Maui! We stopped here on our way back from the Haleakala National Park. Since we had a late lunch, we decided to go light and shared one appetizer, one entree, one dessert, and two drinks—and every single item was absolutely incredible! Sashimi Napoleon (Appetizer): A total standout! The wasabi sauce and the crispy wonton chips were the perfect finishing touches. Chef’s Special (Pan-seared Fresh Caught Kanpachi): The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly seared. It was served over a bed of risotto that was rich, creamy, and flavorful. A fantastic combination! Pineapple Upside-Down Cake (Dessert): We had to try the famous cake, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Drinks: Both of our cocktails were fantastic and well-crafted. Our serv

Quite possibly the best meal we’ve had on Maui! The sashimi salad is a must and we really enjoyed the pork wontons. For mains, my husband had the fried chicken sandwich and I had the local fish curry (best I’ve had). We both ordered Baja margaritas — the parsley was such a surprisingly delicious touch!!! We’ve tried a lot of restaurants on Maui, and this one is a gem! The staff were incredibly nice; the setting and vibes were perfect; and the food very high quality. We will certainly come back any time we are on the island. Note: We made a reservation, but I don’t think it’s required - they were busy though (for obvious reasons!) so if you want to ensure you get a table, would recommend reserving. Also, they close 2:30-4:30 between lunch and dinner (Google doesn’t list that).

Best meal on Maui! I haven’t been here in a few years, and boy what a treat it was! I had the macadamia crusted mahi and I rank it 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ My son loved his curry, my husband devoured the delectable ribs. This is definitely the spot for a nice meal, special occasion, or just to treat yourself, because life is sweet!

Farm to table freshness. Every item and drink our party of 4 ordered was delectable and prepared perfectly. I’m a big fan of the burger but it is NOT just another burger. I promise you. The Pineapple Museum and Glass blowing (with free live demonstrations) are a short walk away if you have the time. Well worth a tour of both locations. I recommend making a reservation if you want a table.

Visiting Maui for the first time and stopped by Hali’imaile General Store for lunch on a Tuesday around noon. I ordered the Soup of the Day (tomato basil) and grilled mahi-mahi. The soup was lukewarm and forgettable. The mahi-mahi was fine with rice, but nothing memorable. The major issue: a chicken sandwich at our table was served with clearly burnt buns — blackened edges on both halves. It was obvious before it even hit the table. This could’ve been a 3-star visit, but serving visibly burnt food without acknowledgment or replacement shows poor quality control. Disappointing experience. Cannot recommend.
