Decided to try this restaurant off the beaten path in Lahaina. The menu had variety and the prices in pare with other restaurants in the area. My husband had a pasta dish with shrimp and I had the grilled fish dinner, both were absolutely wonderful; very flavorful and plenty to eat. Our only complaint was it took 15 minutes for... More

We enjoy breakfast here every year we come to Maui - for us, it's a favorite: never too crowded, (off and away from the hustle of Front St.) open-air seating and very well prepared meals (excellent for quality of ingredients, creativity and execution.) Located on Dickenson St. just up from Lahaina Divers. This year we ordered the 'Fried Rice' and... More

We went to Lahaina Coolers after reading reviews here. Their website showed lower prices than we experienced when we got there, they need to update their online menu. Anyway, it is a small restaurant in a cute old building on a side street in downtown Lahaina. We received good service. The atmosphere is lacking, it is open air and rather... More

We come every spring when we are in Maui. The food is to die for! We get a variety of pupus and split a yummy salad with lumpia encrusted brie. Go ahead and try to find better crab wontons anywhere on the planet, and the sizzling prawns and lemon garlic are amazing. I had a yummy Lava Flow here too.... More

If you like an informal place, go to Lahaina Coolers. We sat outside, well away from a lady screaming party-style at the inside bar. The calamari appetizer was yummy and substantial. I had the coconut encrusted Mahi Mahi and it was FABULOUS!. My husband had the Whaler's Stew and is was WAAAAY too hot. This coming from someone who likes... More

We went here for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. I had the dirty risotto with prawns and scallops and my wife had the pork chop. The combination of spices on both dishes were great. Both were excellent and their was plenty to take home. Service was just as good.

Dined here on a whim because the restaurant looked very fun. About half of the restaurant is outside and the inside is open-air. The restaurant had a good selection of mostly seafood. I had the scallops, which were good. This restuarant is located about a block away from Front Street in Lahaina town. It is a fun spot to eat... More

Family of six dined last night at the Lahaina Coolers. Upon entering one gets the feeling of a vintage bar and leisure dining room. We had called for reservations earlier in the day (Sunday), however at 6pm, not necessary. We opted for the outdoor patio and other than a couple of bugs in the air, was very clean. The serving...

I stopped in for some of the amazing BBQ pulled pork for lunch today. This joint is definitely worth the 2 block walk off of front street.
