Hula Grill & Barefoot Bar - Lahaina

Had the waffles with maple syrup and the waffles were over cooked and hard. Maple syrup was actually regular syrup which was horrible. Had the avocado toast without the egg and bacon. It didn’t taste good. Poor quality and I have eaten better. This isn’t a vegan spot so I understand the food would not cater too me but how can you mess up a waffle. The best thing was the pineapple juice Updated from previous review on 2021-04-22

Hula Grill, located on the Kaanapali beach has a nice atmosphere with live music. Beware that reservations are not required, but I strongly recommend that you reserve 1 2 days in advance. Otherwise, you may be waiting for 1 2 hours IF they are accepting walk ins. The service is very good, wait staff very friendly. The vegan options are few. I had a vegan vegetarian/taro burger and substituted a small salad for fries (why does that cost $3 extra? . The burger was tasty but also a bit mushy. The Kaboocha hummus was good/average, served with colorful carrots and pita bread. This is not a value play the food is expensive.

Seriously, keep walking. I had the taro burger and said I was vegan and asked for it to be cooked on a separate pan. Maybe it was, but it had an off flavor. And the bun tasted awfully buttery. I asked for a side salad and it came with cheese all over it. I got the order to go (covid and all) so was super disappointed when I got back to my hotel.

The Hula Grill is the quintessential Hawaiian beachfront restaurant with tiki torches, tables in the sand, live Hawaiian music and views of neighboring Lanai island. They have a vegan Miso Tofu with veggies and quinoa on the menu which was excellent and very filling. They have a vegan burger but unfortunately the fries are cooked in a shared fryer. The “vegan” dessert is not vegan because it contains honey. Overall a nice choice while vacationing in Maui.
