“Breakfast was good nothing to scream about.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2012 NEW

The food was good for breakfast and the service fine but the location is central and fun. Right next to Banyan Tree and near all the fun Lahaina has to offer. So I would return just because I like to eat breakfast in a place where i can roll right into the action and after a sunrise whale cruise a... More

“Ok place to eat”

A simple older place to eat.. Can't beat the location, food is good, service is just ok, but not bad... We only had breakfast, so can't speak to the other meals More

Thank you for your Trip Advisor review. We agree that we are currently under-staffed and our service could definitely be better. We are working on our service and hope you will find it much better on your next visit. More

“good appetizer specials and happy hour”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2012 NEW

Stayed at the Pioneer Inn, so ate at the restaurant twice and walked by several times every day. They were always busy, but never had to wait for a table. Food was good. Lots of choices. One day, they had great appetizer specials (ceviche, wings, poppers, nachos, etc), Service was just ok. More

“good breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2012 NEW

On each visit to Maui, we hit the Inn for breakfast every Sunday morning. This is our 17th year we have visited Maui. While the breakfast food is always very good, we noticed that the service is alittle slow and the staffs minds are somewhat out in space. Coffee is slow to come and refills are sometimes hard to come... More

A great place to stop while waiting for your whale watching cruise. Right off the docks and fast service. The breakfast omelets and french toast is fantastic. Also try the Eggs Benedict... More

This was probably the worst place we dined in Maui last week. The service was terrible. The server didn't even greet us; just stood in front of and basically said nothing. It took quite a while to get our food, even though the restaurant was not crowded. The food was only fair, but at least the prices were reasonable. The... More

I apologize that the service wasn't very good on your visit to our restaurant. We are delighted by the number of visitors on Maui, but we have a little unprepared and are working to remedy that. We hope you will visit us again on your next trip. More

“Quaint and Historic, a Must when you are in Lahaina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

My wife & I have visited the pioneer Inn grill and bar on ever visit to Lahaina (10 years now). The location is perfect for people watching and a meal or appetizer before or after a whale watch. If you time your whale watch for early afternoon, you will arrive just on time for Happy Hour. The Calamari is something... More

“Memorable meals with a beautiful setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2012

During our 12 day stay on Maui, we ate at the Pioneer Inn Grill and Bar on 5 occasions. The open atmosphere to the harbor was busy with activity or one could enjoy looking at the banyon tree with its chorus of birds. The sunsets at the restaurant were beautiful. Mahi Mahi with papaya chutney was wonderful in seasoning and... More
