Beautiful atmosphere, excellent food. Fish & chips were great. The fish was fresh & fries looked hand cut . Terrific cheeseburger w/ Maui beef ; patty was the star w/ great supporting cast

Isa Sierra

Really enjoyed the food and friendly staff of this restaurant . They do happy hour daily, which makes it really affordable too! The fish tacos are delicious, and so are the dumplings . A solid choice.

Constantin K

Best Mai Tai I've had on Maui (beware, they are stiff - as they should be). Fish & Chips are great, fish curry also good. Pizza's are a solid choice. Save room for the cream pies . Really.

Morgan McKee

There are a lot of these, and I know why. Start with deviled eggs and tuna tacos - great for 2. I had mahi tacos , delish! The mai tais are known for the pineapple foam (which I can’t have 😭)

Jacy Higa

Award winning Chef Peter Merriman did Maui proud giving us over 30 craft beers on tap , live music , happy hour & unforgettable food. Hands down one the best spots in Wailea so don't 4get to make a res!

Damn that was good. I took the server’s recommendation on the fish of the day, Ono! The slaw was amazing. Great sandwich ! The fish and chips were great too. Highly recommend

Kristina Shahoian

Love this place! Great food, atmosphere and happy hour . Everyone says they have the best Mai Thai but they truly do. I don’t typically like the foo foo drinks but drank a couple of these.

Stephen Peeler

Row of 12 seats overlooking the kitchen are a nice treat for "foodies" who appreciate watching the fresh catch of the day prepared table side. Vegan dishes 2 Steak this place has it all!

Samaher

We started off with garlic fries ; they were not crispy and a bit cold. Pete's classic burger was good, umami mushroom added the taste of truffle between the layers of the burger . Bun was delicious

AmateurConcierge

Granted I’m coming from Kauai but lunch here was the best meal I’ve had since arriving in Hawaii. Great mai tai and cocktails , salad was great and Hawaiian pizza was 🔥🔥🔥

Jon Laws

Their signature Mai Tai with the tart foam on top was awesome. The bulgogi pork tacos were fantastic, and the strawberry cream pie was worth the trip alone. Live acoustic music was a nice touch.

Anke Kirchner R(B)

Awesome Place, Great Food. The organic Kale Salat and the macadamia crusted Mahi are very delicious! They have two happy hour times which is super! Very popular Restaurant so make reservations .

Amanda Barnard

Fabulous pizza , fresh seafood and amazing cocktails (the White Walker is delicious!). Highly recommend this place if you are in Wailea.

Jonas Mann

Fantastic food. Great service. Awesome drinks. Don't usually like Mai tais but these were great if not a little dangerous. They sneak up on you.

Brea Simpson

Go for happy hour unless you’re rich or really trying to impress your family on that vacation! Get that maitai and kalua pig pizza !

Michelle Sherman

The poke tacos have chunks of ahi with an avocado cream sauce you will lick off your fingers. The faro vine ripened tomato salad is very healthy but also delicious. Great choice of beers on tap .

Jacy Higa

Award-winning Chef Peter Merriman did Maui proud giving us 30+ craft beers on tap , live music , happy hour & unforgettable food. Hands down one the best spots in Wailea. Don't forget a reservation !

Sabrina Kinney

Monkey Pod's Mai Tai is a must! This killer drink is limited to just a few because of the punch! It is topped with their famous honey lilikoi foam ! The happy hour is a great deal too!!

Heather

I had the saimin noodle dish as it was recommended as a favorite of the locals. I was NOT disappointed. Super flavourful but there was no way I could finish it... It was so huge.

Menehune Maps

Head here for great happy hour specials . Grab a table on the lanai for the best views and definitely order a Monkeypod Mai Tai . Delicious and strong! Read more

Hillary Hartley

Best burger on Maui, IMO. Other faves: lobster deviled eggs , poke tacos , lilikoi foam on the Mai Tais , fish tacos or fish burger .

Dara Jo

Beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset .. Macadamia nut crusted mahi , truffle fries , kale salad and strawberry cream pie . Don't order the chicken wings , they were terrible

Dana F

Best meal I've had on the island . Start with the garlic truffle fries , eat the Maui cheeseburger and finish with a French press and the famous banana cream pie . Perfect.

Allison Abbott-Kline

Great atmosphere, delicious bulgogi pork & ahi poke tacos . Over 30 beers on tap . Nice wine selection too. Mostly locals with a few visitors sprinkled in…..

Matt Ta-Min

Fantastic selection of craft beers . Food is also really really good. 9-11 is a really great happy hour . Cocktails are strong and high quality.

Ricardo Dorantes

Loved this place. We shared noodles , stale, pizza and tacos and it was all amazing. Great attention and very good drinks too.

Linda Felter

Phenomenal food and even better service! We ordered one cream pie to split and got comped 3 more because a steak was slightly more rare than ordered. Strawberry and cream was my favorite!

John Ruda

Happy hour here is a must. Friendly team , too (Kevin, Ryan, etc). The fact that we went here 4 nights in a row while on Maui should tell you we loved it.

Lauren Jones

I'm writing this from beyond the grave because I died when I tasted the pumpkin ravioli . It was that frakkin good. Come for happy hour and get it cheaper!!

Raluca Bălănică

Try the Kiawe Grilled Ahi Stake and the Strawberry Cream Pie . Anthony recommended. You should totally go for whatever he says.

Diana R.

Loved the fish burger , hand cut fries and the lilikoi-foamed Mai Thai. Happy hour starts at 3:30. Get a table outside !

Leslie Richardson

Ice cold beer at 29 +/- degrees with so many options you are bound to fine one you like. Happy hour is 1/2 price apps and pizza except those with seafood but you can customize the pizza a but,

Anechka M.

Best food this side of the island - fish tacos , raw bar appetizer with poke and ceviche , ahi sandwich - all amazing!

Katherine Coles

Literally everything is delicious! Ahi "poke " tacos are out of this world! Also the chocolate cream pie rocks! 😋

Roy McClurg

The lobster/mushroom pizza is amazing! White garlic sauce , rather than marinara , makes the taste superb

Juri Volama

Kalua Pork pizza - after you’ve had it - I bet you will come here again. Triple 😍🤩! 6/5

Jennifer Minall

Honestly this place is AWESOME! Fish snapper special was amazing as well as the poke taco starters! Just go you won't regret it

Kathleen Mulcahy

Get the gnocchi with pork sausage . It’s to die for!!!! Best dish I’ve had in Maui.

Marian Elbert

Great happy hour special (1/2 most apps), try the pumpkin patch ravioli . Also really enjoyed my entree, the grilled ahi !

Stephen Fox

The fresh fish sandwich is a simpler option than the fish entree of the day. Comes on fresh-baked bread with lettuce, tomato , and quick pickle . Very tasty. Say ’yes’ to the fries .

Brady O'Connell

Great happy hour . Probably would come back otherwise though. A few vegetarian appetizers and pizzas

Cameron Parker

The mai tai is the best I’ve had. Solid cocktail program.

Chas LeRoy

Went there for dinner with California friends who renewed vows in Wailea. Had Korean tacos and it was pretty darn good! Service was passing but needs improvement despite excellent food!

Tracey Bolton

Strong and really good Mai Tai . My hubby had the Dark and Stormy and it didn't disappoint. Sit outside during happy hour...awesome ocean view !

Nikki Foster

OMG! The food and service was amazing. Outdoor dining options available and Covid protocol in place as well .

Vani Prabakaran

Best Mai tai I've had. Lobster pizza and Poke tacos are so yum

J Bitton

This is a great place to eat! The pizzas are made with fresh ingredients and quality cheese . The salads are crisp and tasty, and the desserts ..wow. One of the best places in wailea!

Alexei T

On your first visit to MPK order fresh fish sandwich and garlic fries . The rest can wait for your subsequent trips. But if you die tomorrow, at least you will have had that.
