Makawao Public House

This place is awesome, the staff is attentive and very knowledgeable about their dishes, the food was absolutely amazing (House steak & Smash burger) and the dessert...you have to try the cheesecake, it was fabulous. I would suggest grabbing a reservation if you're planning on stopping by during dinner hours as it was quite busy when we were there. We will be back!

Pretty good food actually. Very basic decor inside considering what it could be. Good vibe. I gotta say, considering how good the food is, it is bizarre (and cheap) that for the burgers and fish sandwiches they use gross Costco buns. Not even fresh. I've thought about that every time I eat there. Everything else was above average.

Love coming here. An absolute gem upcountry. Da pupus steak is broke da mouth. Tried the mochiko ahi bites was amazing. The seafood dishes tend to be a little on the sweet side very miso heavy on the sauce. Da steamer clams were off da chain (small kine sweet) but amazing.

Who knew Makawao had a gem like this? Had dinner here with friends and it was wonderful. Menu is full of delicious options and the beverage list will satisfy drinkers of all varieties. The service here was friendly and attentive from the time we arrived until we left. We decided to dine family style so we could try a bunch of dishes. The oysters, pork buns, lechon, roasted vegetables, and steak were so delicious. We finished off the night with the chocolate tort and cheesecake. I’m not a big dessert eater but these were amazing. I’ll definitely be back again. Make a reservation on OpenTable and be ready to find street parking. It’s definitely worth it. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Great little restaurant in Makawao. I army dinner right when they opened. Our server was great. Very attentive and friendly. We ordered several happy hour dishes and entrees. Started with buffalo wings, had the smash burger with truffle fries, wedge salad, truffle Mac and cheese, Kanaka stew and Fish and chips. Only disappointing thing was their malt vinegar too was missing and I didn’t notice it until I poured a ton of it on my fish 👎🏼. I would recommend a Hispanic you are in the area though.
