    Went for Thanksgiving and the food was absolutely delicious. From the salad, to the buffet to the deserts, A+. For what we received it was a good value. I would recommend this restaurant for any special holiday or occasion. You will not be disappointed. Be sure to make reservations a few weeks in advance for holidays though. It books quick.

    Thanksgiving Buffett party of 9. Let me be clear, it was 6 adults, 1 child, 2 babies & a person with a walker. The process to make reservations we easy. The staff was very professional, reconfirming our reservation twice & very accommodating. The food was delicious. Everyone loved the short ribs especially. Personally, the Turkey was the best I’ve ever had. Only problem now I’ll have to wait until next year. One thing is ADA accessibility. There is a lot of stairs to the entrance doors. We couldn’t find a ramp but I had a walking boot so I hopped it. My son-in-law found a path on the parking lot side of the restaurant. There was about a 2 step deck to get to the back dining room. Other than that the outdoor seating was fantastic, very cozy and the noise level was just right. Our Buffett was very close plus the staff was exceptional. Definitely worth returning for.

    We had visited Haliimaile General Store years ago so decided to have lunch there again on this visit to Maui. Just like our long ago visit, we very much enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. My husband enjoyed the crusted fish dish and I enjoyed the fish tacos…the pineapple cake dessert was so yummy! The background music was a great 70’s playlist that added to the laid back atmosphere in the restaurant. Upcountry Maui is lovely to visit…we suggest a reservation at Haliimailee General Store as they are usually quite busy.
