Waikiki Brewing Company, South Side - Wailea-Makena, Hawaii

Very relaxed. Incredible service. The waitress was so helpful for the meal and letting us know great places to go for the reminder of our trip. Food was good. We got the grilled chicken and vegan burger with side of superfood slaw.
The plates are so funny because they look like the classic paper plates but are ceramic.
Fun times !

Just missed the mark on a lot of things. It felt like a strange mix of brewery and an actual restaurant (e.g., having to wait for seating but also having to grab our own waters, but also getting service at the table). We both started with the Jalapeño Mouth which was solid (though does get a bit hoppier tasting as you go). We ordered the onion rings which were nice and crispy with a good buttermilk ranch dressing (might taste good with something with a bit more of a zing to it). Our meals were OK. Pulled pork sandwich was very soggy on the bottom. Super slaw was pretty bland. Coconut fried rice was the same. Not bad but bland. It could have used more sauce to help balance things out. Our server was very attentive. It looked like she had about 7 tables across most of the restaurant which made it harder to check in super frequently but she was the most solid part of our visit.

Waikiki Brewing Co. has a fantastic atmosphere, and the overall vibe made it a great place to unwind. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive, which added to the relaxed and welcoming environment.

The drinks were solid, and we enjoyed sipping on a couple while taking in the laid-back ambiance. However, the food fell a bit short. We had the poke, but the tuna had a fishy taste that wasn’t very fresh. The pretzel was large and visually appealing but, unfortunately, lacked flavor—almost completely tasteless.

Even though the food wasn’t quite what we hoped for, the experience of just chilling with good drinks in a great setting made up for it. It’s definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere and drinks, even if the food didn’t hit the mark for us.

Visited Waikiki Brewing Company in Maui with high expectations for a delightful family meal. I ordered the mahi-mahi, my children opted for cheeseburgers, and my wife chose the Waygu. Our overall dining experience nets a 3-star rating, primarily due to the lackluster flavors and presentation of the dishes. The mahi-mahi, unfortunately, seemed more akin to a frozen product than the fresh catch we anticipated, lacking the vibrant flavors one expects in Maui. The rice and portion sizes did not justify their price points, further dampening our dining experience.

On a positive note, our waiter, Victor, was exceptional, providing attentive and friendly service that earned a well-deserved 5-star rating on its own. However, the culinary experience did not meet our expectations, with even the made lemonade tasting reminiscent of a powdered mix. The self-serve water and underwhelming bathroom facilities also detracted from our overall experience.

While the service was commendable, the culinary execution and ambiance fell short of our expectations for a restaurant in such a beautiful location. A tip for future patrons: this spot might not be the best choice for special occasions, as they do not accommodate birthday celebrations with the customary song or gestures.

Great spot to grab some dinner with your friends. They've got a good selection of draft beer with a menu much better than you'd usually find in a in a brewpub. I really liked the sliced prime rib hoagie

One of my family’s favourite lunch/dinner spots in Wailea. The food is always top quality. I love getting the pulled pork sandwich but I can also speak highly on the brewhouse burger and coconut shrimp fried rice. The pretzel is also great (see photos)

We had lunch at the Waikiki Brewing Company. The staff was very friendly and they offer some special food. Some healthy stuff too. The sizes of the dishes are quite big. Prices are ok and the food tastes really good. We enjoyed our lunch. The Hard Seltzer with ginger flavour is my recommendation for you!

Service was good, if inconsistent. Our waitress tried hard but the bartender was horrible. I would say 5 stars for the waitress and 0 stars for the bartender who seemed angry and kept forgetting our lime for our drinks. The restaurant claimed to be "worlds best hamburger" but you can forget about that. It was so below par that I thought they might have microwaved the burger and sent it to me. My wife ordered tuna and said she felt nauseous afterward. She had to take medication to get through the night. But the worst part of this place was the restrooms. It was so revolting and disgusting that Hawaii Health and Food Safety would have shut this place down had they seen it. Sorry we will never return to this place ever again. I remember coming here years ago and it was quite decent. Man, things have really gone south since.
