We ate at Betty’s twice, first on Wednesday night for lobster, then later in the week for breakfast. On Wednesday night we sat at a table in the left front looking out to the beach and the Luau under way on the right side. It was fun to watch the luau waiters and cast members behind the scene, They have a lot of choices on the menu. Some in our party were disappointed in the quality of the drinks for the price. They have a great price on the whole lobster served twice a week, The breakfast was excellent and the service better than it was at dinner. Restaurant facility not fancy, more of a casual beach bar. Restrooms could use some fixing/updating,

Betty's Beach Cafe is an absolute delight! I had breakfast here during our first day on Maui in late January. Betty's remained my top breakfast dining experience throughout our two week stay in Hawai'i (Maui & the Big Island). The food was excellent and plentiful. In regard to quality, quantity and value it would be very hard to top Betty's Beach cafe in the Lahaina area. Additionally, Betty's offers very good values on cocktails (Bloody Marys) and "brunch drinks" such as mimosas. I also want to complement the employees. The service was prompt, professional and welcoming. I really get the sense that Betty's Beach Cafe employees enjoy their job and genuinely appreciated our business. Well done by the entire team. Betty's is located just off Front Street, and offers amazing ocean views. That really made our breakfast meal a wonderful and fun experience. I will definitely dine at Betty's Beach Cafe again when I visit Maui. When you visit Maui, I strongly suggest getting out of the big resorts and seek out locally owned "mom & pop" restaurants to try. You will find the service, the food and the spirit of aloha to be alive and well. Betty's Beach Cafe is certainly one of these "diamonds in the rough," and I highly recommend it.

We have had good meals at Bettys many times but we were disappointed on this trip. One night i had fish & chips and it was good but there wasn't much fish. Lots of french fries. We were planning on coming back on Friday for prime rib night so we asked our waitress if we should make reservations or arrive by a certain time. She indicated we should have no problem, they always make enough. Great! We arrived a little before 7 on Friday and guess what ? No prime rib. We headed downtown to another place. I hate to blast a restaurant for an occasional goof but that was 2 meals in a row that were a disappointment. I hope they get it together. We used to look forward to eating there.

This restaurant has a very nice quiet location on the beachfront, but has really changed in the last few years. My service was very unattentive I was never asked once how was my food. The wings were the worst! Chewy, extremely salty. When I commented on the saltiness The waiter said “yeah that’s the sauce.. sorry” Macadamia crusted fish was good. Unfortunately we will not come back

My husband was quite happy that we were there on a lobster night. He had a full lobster on the special and he was very happy with it. I had a salad which was okay. There was far too much dressing on it and too much blue cheese which overpowered the entire dish. But my husband was happy!

Never again will I ever go to Betty’s. Service was horrible, waitress was rude, and food was gross, and there was hardly any customers in the place. From when we walked in the people acted and made us feel like they were inconvenienced that we were there. I ordered nachos with no cheese and I was brought out a plate of chips with tomatoes. When I asked the waitress where the beans and rest of toppings she got an attitude and brought me back a bowl of beans so I had to ask for a second time for the rest of my nachos Ingredients and she once again was rude and then came back with the rest of the toppings and I had to assemble my nachos my self . Not worth the wait. Also we ordered the banana pancakes with bacon and sausage and everything but the sausage was burnt and dry. And then when we opened our silverware it was dirty and had food on it and when we told the waitress she did not apologize nor look surprised that it was dirty. Very not sanitary. I was super embarrassed that I brought my family to this place and I do not recommend this place at all.

My husband and I have always dined at Betty's at least once or twice when vacationing in Lahaina, not only because of the good food and killer view, but also because of the friendliness of the staff. This time, however, the two waitresses working at the time (late afternoon and few customers) chose to stand around and chat to one another ... when they weren't casting "screw you" glances our way. It was only when my husband angrily headed for the bar to pay for our drinks before leaving that our lazy waitress sprang into action. We ended up returning to our table and had dinner, but sheesh, what happened to Betty's aloha spirit?

We sat at a table overlooking the beach through an open air window and enjoyed the luau music while we had dinner. Food was good; service was exceptional and friendly. A great Aloha for our first evening in Maui!

Our first clue should have been that there were only 2 other people in the restaurant at dinner time. The food was fair, nothing special. The service was non existent. After our food was served, ( overcooked Ahi and reheated French fries for one of us) we never saw our server. My husband had to get up and get more water for himself at the sink. I would not recommend.

Great view, drinks and sandwiches. I had the spicy chicken sandwich. It was well appointed, the chicken was crispy and the bread/roll was perfect. It tasted great. I also had one of their mojitos. It was delicious as well. My only complaints were at noon they did not have anymore mint to make a second drink, and they are pretty pricey. Other than that it was great!

They have whole lobsters for 27.95 on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can't beat that deal! The only sad thing is, if you visited a long time ago as I did, be warned that the luau company finally got smart and moved the stage to the opposite side so you can no longer get a free luau with your Betty's dinner. 4 stars because I wasn't completely wowed by the service.

The setting and specials— we did a prime rib special— will keep this place in business. The barkeeeper also is nice BUT the waitress was unbelievable. I’m sorry we left her a tip. At one point, the first time we came in, I heard her say ‘suck it up, buttercup’ about a neighboring table. The second time, I ordered fish tacos trying to find something I could eat. I’m undergoing chemo and it’s rather obvious. Anyway, the tacos were ultra-spicy for my tummy. She (red-haired, heavyset) came over and I said, these are really hot and I can’t eat them. My husband interrupted by saying, try, you ordered them. And Ms. Waitress grinned, “Better luck next time.” And walked away without offering anything even a I’m Sorry. I worked in a Tourist trap” in college and hated tourists BUT never let it show. She did not need to be mean. And, yes, there was no next time at Betty’s. Drinks were expensive (no surprise) and food was mediocre. Lots of better places 3-4 blocks away.

Visited Betty's towards the end of a multi-week stay in Lahaina. Food was good and atmosphere was nice, but $50 for two burgers, fries and smoothies felt a bit harsh compared against similar fare within walking distance. All in all, I wouldn't advise anyone not to go, but I'd suggest there are equally impressive locals nearby for less $$.

We stayed at Lahaina Shores for two weeks and found ourselves dining at Betty's Beach Cafe multiple times since it was right next door in the 505. It was our first meal after we checked in and our last meal before checking out. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's not fancy, but you have a beautiful ocean view, the food is good and fairly priced. We had some lovely sunset meals there. The Feast of Lele is next door, and if you happen to be eating there when the show is on, you'll see their backstage entrance and hear the music, along with the servers bringing out the food. It's not fancy, but it's a good place to eat and relax. I highly recommend you try it.
