Maui Waui Cafe

If you live anywhere near Lenoir City and haven’t tried Maui Waui Café yet, you are seriously missing out. I’m not exaggerating when I say I dream about their subs. On the days they’re closed, it genuinely feels like a small personal tragedy (and someone should probably check on me). Everything on the menu is ridiculously good. The ingredients taste like someone actually cared when they put the sandwich together, and every bite makes you immediately start planning your next visit. It’s the kind of place where you finish your food and immediately start thinking, “Okay… when can I come back?” But the food isn’t the only reason this place stands out. The owner and employees are some of the friendliest people you’ll meet. They make you feel welcome the second you walk in, like you’re not jus

I had actually never heard of Maui Waui until I received their menu in the mail, and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! The menu is small but mighty every item feels thoughtfully crafted. We tried a few things, and the King Tut was our absolute favorite definitely a must-try! The Cuban Lynx wasn’t really our style, but the Hard Knox was pretty good. The chip selection was good too, though I think I’d personally love to see fries added to the lineup. The staff was sooo friendly and welcoming, and answered all my questions the place was very clean inside, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was wonderful super cute, relaxed, and inviting and parking was a breeze, which is always a plus. One small suggestion it would be great to have a few more diet or zero-sug

This place is amazing! The environment is so beautiful and peaceful. The lady that helped us (I believe she is the owner) made us feel so welcome. We ordered the King Tut and the White Rhino (we shared so we could experience them both). They were SOOOOO great! They were made to perfection! My pictures do not do them justice because we started devouring them as soon as they hit the table. 🤣 I highly recommend this place!

Excellent place to eat if you're in the historic downtown Lenoir City area. Fair prices and delicious food. When we went the owner was the only one working and she took our order, made our sandwiches, and hand-delivered them to our table. They were amazing, and the chips were as well. Definitely will be back! Update: We went for Taco Tuesday and they were great too! My only complaint is that it took quite a while for the food to be made, but that's understandable considering the restaurant was busy and only two people were working. We were able to pass the time easily with the board games. The beef tacos were my favorite. Chicken and veggie tacos were not as good, but still alright. The chips and drink selections are amazing. The chocolate chip cookie was warm and delicious as well.

Came in, not knowing what to order but I decided to try the Hard Knox sandwich with a Cream Soda and some Salt and Vinegar chips. I don't have a photo of the sandwich because I ate it too fast. Beef was cooked perfectly, bacon wasn't rubbery like every other restaurant I've ever visited, pickles were in just the right amount to compliment the beef, red cabbage gave it some crunch, the cheese was slightly melted and in perfect amount, and the sauce DID make the sandwich start to get soggy (that's because I didn't eat it right away since I was on my phone) but the bread is good enough quality to hold up for a while and the amount of sauce was perfect. Delicious sandwich that made me forget my soda and chips. The lady who took my order was kind, patient, and recommended some good choices. Th
