Like all TS restaurants , location and decoration is great as well as their food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and hawaiian music the day we went! Enjoy it ;)

Great ocean front place with good cocktails , casual food, live music in the afternoon, outdoor dining and great people watching as the boardwalk winds around the patio . Swim in ocean, come in wet.

Kaitlyn Matyuch

Best food ever!!!! I have to come at least once well I am here, although I normally go multiple times. My favorite is the main dining room up top, but the bar area had good food too.

Carver Matheidas

The mango-pineapple fish preparation is a lot more tangy than expected. Spicy ahi tower was very tasty. Try the piña colada w/o ice cream , sub Malibu rum for dairy-free. Looks and tastes great!

Fazeela Mohammed

Great dining experience. The view was amazing!!! Loved the Sriracha wings and chopped kale salad . My husband ordered the fish and chips and I had the burger with bacon .

Mitchell McKenna

Fish Tacos ; big piece of fresh fish , grilled, not fried. Best in Maui. 🐟 🌮

Megan Bowes

Fresh seafood , personable staff , and ocean views . Local tuna was delicious. If you have room for dessert , the Hula Pie is a must-have. Enjoy!

Teresa

Happy Hour drinks do not disappoint! Great tacos and The nachos with pork were surprisingly different and good. The heat on them was great. I would eat here again to try more of the menu! YUM!

Aaron Dodge

Great cocktails . Great fish tacos , nachos , pork spring rolls . Great service and scenery. Just great!

Abhay Shah

Great service, stiff drinks, and reasonable prices for the area

Sara Lovell

Initially the portions seemed small but by the end of the meal, we were full. The parmasean crusted fish was great and the mashed potatoes are awesome and creamy.

Lauren Fahey

The tomato mozz appetizer was one of the best I've ever had and I've had a lot of tomato mozz appetizers ...

Chad Petrie

Best meal we had on the island , and we went to Mama's as well . Great fish and seafood . Views for dinner are amazing.

Taylor Kendra

Ahi Tuna is TO DIE for... Everyone at our table was fighting over it. Best I've ever had. Will come back before vacation is over.

Tony Sou

Try the lava flow drinks! Piña Colada with strawberry .

Grant Matthews

Order the catch of the day, it comes straight off the boat....beautiful food. Also order Surfing Goat cheese - it's produced locally.

Allison Richard

Did not get waited on at first during happy hour cuz of a mix up. Waiter was apologetic and friendly , offered us free dessert . Great food and nice cold beer !

Zac N

445 to 530 is the special chefs tasting menu for $27! Great value

Kristine Derby

Whale watching is great upstairs. Happy hour is too fun downstairs. Hula pie is a must try and all of their food is fantastic.

Karen Odonnell

Great fish tacos just the right spicy . Nice view of the water. Friendly staff !

Gunnar Pétur Harðarson

Amazing fish tacos !!!!! Very nice waiters og great food ;) I dare you to try the Black Rock beer 💪

Masha Ioveva

Good food, good cocktails . Somehow got the reputation for being THE place for sunset dining (the view in the restaurant is nice tho) but Hula Grill is just better. Don't eat at the Beachside Grill.

deekay

The fish taco an were good but beware - they are not your average fish tacos . They each come with one large piece of grilled fish in the soft shell, with toppings.

Roman Nurik

Chicken wings were awesome. Cool drink vessels as well .

JP

The bar service is excellent! Try the Dead Guy Ale ...and get the fish tacos too! YOLO! #BestplaceonMaui

Sara Dinsmore

The Ahi tuna - seared rare - was the definite winner at our dinner !

Dave

Fish tacos are awesome! Very tender and moist mahi mahi . Cuban Kailua Pork was very good too.

Katie Gallagher

Relaxed during the day, happy hour from 3-5 options change daily- $4 tacos are HUGE and delicious! At night inside the Surf n Turf Filet & Lobster was unreal good!

Olli Kaijalainen

Salad with walnuts , onion and feta was unbelievable! Highly recommended. Great service too :)

Tolga Erden

I didnt like the Cheeseburger and the fries ! Nothing speacial! Also they forgot to put cheese on the meat but afterwards they changed the burger . The service was good though 🤙

Barbara Arredondo

The fish is delicious and the dessert of macadamia ice cream with chocolate is sooo good!

Erin Vaughn

Fish tacos are all they were touted to be. Perfection. And the tarter sauce for the fish and chips is delish.

Scott Muchow

Had lunch and is was great. We had the grilled cheese and the big kahuna burger . Both were excellent.

sarah

Ask for a table overlooking the water and when the sun is about to set the blinds are drawn. Best photo op!

Pablo Kenney

Fish tacos live up to the hype - order the extra guacamole , high quality.

T R

The best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. Great choice in live music .

Lulu Phongmany

Great cocktails and a great view

Christian Anderson

Classic beef sliders are amazing, as are the veggie sliders . Even if you're not a vegetarian . .

Brad T

The nice, attentive service and dinner on the beach can't make up for the mediocre, tourist fair , unfort. Was so looking forward to the fish tacos but the tortillas were cold and flavors just OK.

Kyle Estep

Great live music on Saturdays 3-5pm

Lenny Lesser

Hula Pie is great. Street level has view of ocean obscured.

Maryanne Beck

Fish tacos are amazing! Large fresh fish filets . Great spot for people watching . And yummy tropical drinks .

Natalie K

Korean crispy chicken sandwich . Do it. You won’t regret it.

Haifa

Chicken wings were outstanding. Fish tacos a bit too dry for my taste. My husband ordered fish and fries , fries was good but not the fish .

Kyle Harrison

The Onaga special was amazing. Make sure to try the Cajun shrimp . Legit

Meaghan G

Best fish tacos and great bartenders for happy hour ! Johnny is the best!

Crystal Adair

Try the chef tasting at sunset !

Craig Olson

If you've had good food truck fish tacos then you most likely will be disappointed. Nice people watching though.

Matthew Kamen

Kale salad with Miso vinaigrette was unexpectedly excellent.

Brian Strauss

No trip to back in time to 1994 would be complete without sesame seared ahi and white rice !
