    Great veggie burger! And if you don't want a whole basket of fries you can get a half basket that's not listed on the menu for half the price!

    The vegan burger with loads of avocado was amazing and the onion rings were pretty good too but the Mai tai was amazing! Loved the live music and being able to sit outside!

    My vegetarian wife says they have the best veggie burgers she's ever had in her life. My chicken fingers and onion rings were very good. And the brownie sundae was also excellent. Nice place.

    Fresh fish sandwich or fresh fish plate are outstanding! Wait staff always so nice make you feel comfortable! Their onion rings are crispy and sweet. Any shake is fabulous.

    The Don Jon was super tasty and the fries were top notch. An under the radar appetizer that's really good is the chili and rice.

    Great friendly staff and the best fish tacos I've ever had, hands down! Definitely my favorite 'no attitude' place to eat on Maui.

    Seems like a place that might be a bit tourist trappy, but this place was great! Excellent fish tacos and great service.

    ‘Frisco Burger - Pretty classic, but the patty is just really good, and it’s on sourdough which gives it a little something extra

    Don Ho + onion rings. Trust me. Even with the pineapple and Hawaiian sauce it's not TOO sweet. Perfectly balanced and super juicy!

    Decent food. The burgers are very good and I would recommend that you stick with that. The other food wasn’t the greatest.

    This place is always a good choice for tasty burgers, fries, and onion rings. My wife enjoyed her Bogy and I loved the Marilyn (for spicy food lovers, it's no challenge).

    The Don Ho and Marilyn burgers are amazing. The half order if fries and onion rings is more than enough for two. Add a free rootbeer float voucher that is readily available around town, and you won't

    Fish tacos are pretty good but just not enough food ( no side.) The kids chicken strips on the other hand is very generous and comes with great fries.

    Burgers may be what they are known for but don’t overlook the salads here if you’re looking for a lighter option.
