Probably the worst fish tacos I’ve ever had. The food is overpriced and mediocre at best. Cocktails were good tho. Skip dinner and go for drinks.
Get place to eat. Beautiful sunset and food was delicious!!
Anniversary Dinner was wonderful - we enjoyed very much - WITH a reservation that was difficult to get!
Fantastic location. Excellent service. The Ahi steak was delicious. My husband ordered the macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi which was also amazing.
I had the ceviche, it was rubbery. The Mahi Mahi with crab on top is what they’re known for, I thought it was very subpar. I think it had cheese in it? It was just really not for me.
They’re understaffed in the waiting department, ex. my food came with no utensils.
Wish I could say I had a nice time but I didn’t.
We had two orders of fish and chips. Both when served were soggy on the bottom where the sat on the plate. Real disappoint for Maui.
Food was mediocre but hard to beat ambiance if you have an ocean view. Waitress was very good, attentive but not overbearing.
Fabulous ribeye steak dinner (and Mahi Mahi again)!! Excellent service, very relatable and knowledgeable. No wait time, seated immediately. Great vibe.
Came here in 2019 sad to see a limited menu, the burger was average. Disappointed in the chain.... ate at Dukes, Hula Grill and Leilanis and Leilanis was the best by far.
Beautiful restaurant and view, good food, friendly staff 😄
We had an 8pm reservation. They were right on time. Food was fantastic. Everything was delicious. Beautiful night you could see the stars. Service was always checking on us.
Fabulous setting and server. Food was acverage. Glad we went!
We thoroughly enjoyed being ocean front, listening to live music, great service and good food-
Great place to go to if you are in Maui. Will definitely be back.
Hula Grill does not disappoint- ever! Food, service, drinks, ambience — everything meeting expectations. Have been going there for years and pleased to see they finally added Hula Pie to their dessert menu! Well done TS, and about damn time!! :<)
The hostess was borderline rude. Acted like they were doing us a favor by letting us dine at their restaurant. The waiter was OK. The food was OK but not good enough to return given all the wonderful restaurants in the area and the negative experience upon arrival.
Awesome dinner, once again, at Hula Grill!! This is our fav GO TO in Maui!! We kept checking Open Table to see if a table opened up and it did! Seated right on time, beautiful live music and sunset! We both ordered the Mahi Mahi dinner, macadamia crusted, was great! Shared a Caesar salad, and because we were loving the ambiance, decided to go for the Hula Pie - OMGness! To die for! Our server was fabulous ~ as were all the staff at Hula Grill. Picked up a new coffee mug and t-shirt./ Everything super easy, contactless and safe!
We had a fantastic time. Our waitress was great!
Great food, great service, great location.
Food is very average at best. Food truck better. All hype no delivery
They are doing the best they can in this post Covid time. Food and service were amazing. Just difficult to get in.
We have been coming to Maui for fifteen years and our first dinner on the island is always at Hula Grill. The service is outstanding, the food is amazing, and eating dinner with your toes in the sand, Hawaiian music playing, and the ocean in view is the perfect way to begin a vacation in paradise!
Service was slow but food was good.
We were seated on time. The food and service were outstanding. Will definitely eat there again when we are back in Hawaii.
The hula grill is a wonderful experience when you come to Maui. They have all kinds of Varieties of dishes and at a good price. Their specialties are Fresh fish of course. I had the fish tacos this time which were beer battered and had some kind of coleslaw and sauce inside the flour tortilla. They were delicious! The ambience is beachy because it’s right on the Beach. This could be a romantic setting or the whole family can come. They even have an area where you can sit with your toes in the sand!
I love going to the Hula Grill every time I come to Maui. ❤️
Great food.
Had a wonderful time there was a miscommunication with our reservations but hula grill took care of us!
We had a table with a great view!
Food and service was spot on!
Always look forward to coming back
We were very disappointed. The service was slow and not attentive. They seemed overwhelmed. The food quality was disappointing in general but even more so given the price.
Another amazing evening at Hula Grill! Excellent food and service, with a magical setting to watch the sunset. One of our favorites every time we come to Maui!
Great view, decent food, a one and done, I don't need to go back as there was nothing particularly special or unique about the food or experience.
Service was outstanding. Unfortunately there was a table of 5 unruly, loud children adjacent to us. Their parents were at an adjacent table and totally ignored the chaos. Once they left, we were able to watch sun set and enjoy a delicious dessert.
Amazing atmosphere, especially at sunset. Good food, but a bit pricey. Love the whalers village area it is located in.
Great service and fish tacos!
Wait staff was amazing food was eh. We had the pumpkin hummus and it was just so wrong. Veggies were topped with so really funky spices. Hula pie was amazing though!
We got raw burgers and it was our first time out for dinner in a year. Wow
Great experience
Great service and food selection. Excellent ocean view and sunset.
Great ambiance, food and service.
Failed miserably when ordering wine with our meal. Asked our waiter for a bottle of Justin Cabernet which was on the wine list and he said He’d be right back with our selection BUT when he came back he told us that his manager would not sell the bottle because they were running low with that vintage. No problem selling it by the glass which made no sense except that they would make a bigger profit selling it that way.
Poor way to treat your repeat customers.
I’ve always had a great experience at the Hula Grill but this left a bad taste in my mouth because the manager wanted to make a few extra dollars.
SAD !!!
Not the best experience at this restaurant we are going back and hoping it will be better
Great atmosphere right on the beach. The food was delicious and the drink menu was fun. Hard to beat dining on the beach.
