We are vacationing in Maui and felt like barbecue, so we headed to nearby Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse. We were warmly welcomed at the counter and the menu was clearly listed on the blackboard on the wall behind the counter. We ordered our food and in a short time it was delivered to the table. I ordered St. Louis ribs. They were smoky, meaty, and delicious. My wife ordered brisket. She shared some with me and it was lean, smoky, and tasty. My sister ordered chicken and shared a bite with me. It was smoky, moist, and flavorful. We also had a variety of sides: The Carolina slaw was crisp and tangy. The red bliss potato salad was creamy with a hint of dill. The cornbread had the perfect texture and sweetness (not too sweet). The mac ‘n cheese had a velvety texture. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The food and service were both quite good. We left satisfied and happy. Fat Daddy’s Smokehouse is a great place for barbecue in Kihei.

I’m not sure if they changed ownership in the past 6-months, but the brisket in this photos is not what they were serving. What I had was more like roasted beef with smoke flavoring… and not much of it. The texture was reflective of that, too; mushy and watery flavored. Anyway, the photo says it all. You can see there’s no smoke layer, nor bark from being inside of a smoker.
To add insult to injury, I ordered a double portion, so my dinner was $35. I would’ve been better off getting prime rib at Cafe ole.
Also, the Mac & cheese is basic (maybe even Velveeta), not the multi-cheese they claimed. And, I’m not sure what took 20-minutes to get my food out? Everything should’ve already been cooked. Even the corn bread was soppy and cool.

We have been visiting Fat Daddy’s for over 20 years. It is under new ownership as of several years ago, but the BBQ is just as delicious. My wife loves the chicken! Hands down her favorite chicken, anywhere. I love the ribs and brisket. Their burnt ends are amazing. Oh, and their sides, especially the cornbread are phenomenal!

MUST TRY!!! We like bbq, this was some of the best we have had a while.
Brisket!! Wow!! It was tender, smoked, and made with love. With that plate hubby got the Mac & cheese, and slaw. All were great! I got the ribs (half rack 4 ribs), chili garlic beans and potato salad. All was good the potato salad stood out.
Let’s discuss this corn bread!! This is a highlight thats completes the meal! Sooo good we took 2 pieces to go. Mai Tai and draft on tap, yum.
Employee at the register (in my pic) was super friendly, helpful and great attitude. The employee bringing food was also the same. Customer service makes a huge difference.
We found a picnic table in the patio. A few inside tables were open. Parking in the shopping center and surrounding area. Got there around 7pm.
Thanks Fat Daddy’s, we will be back!

It makes it hard to rate this so low, as it used to be much more enjoyable. Since Covid, they have still not resumed beer/alcohol service, no biggie for me, I don’t drink anymore, but lower your expectations. There is a large, fenced in patio area that used to be pleasant outside-ish seating. That area is now used for storage. The owner was working and said he needed to get it up to storage. If there’s storage, don’t clutter the visual aspect of your tiny dining room with boxes of storable items, and give a little comfort space. I asked how he was keeping open, catering? He said, “low labor”. So he’s not providing many jobs. It used to be a sit down place, now you order at the counter, take your number to your table with your can of soda or overpriced Costco bottle water, 25 cents at Costco, and add additional plastic waste to the island. He said business really hasn’t come back…. Probably due to atmosphere and options. I understand business fell close to a complete stop after the fires, but most of the restaurants in the area are doing great currently. The food was good, usually great. I know it’s smoked, and keeping it too warm can overcook/dry it out, but it was just above room temp. Portions were okay, Truffle Mac and cheese didn’t taste much different than regular, potato salad had a good dressing, but was more just chunks of potato with dressing in it. Food is served on paper on a small baking sheet with paper liner; the meat was tender enough to cut with a basic dinner knife, but as the paper got soggy, it was easily cut into and pieces come up with your bite. Maui doesn’t have a lot of good BBQ options, wish they cared more.

Small portions. Okay ribs. Bland sides. Not a true Texas smoke house.
Overall, the pricing, portions, and taste do not correlate.
Got the half rack of ribs, TX hot links, and pulled pork with truffle Mac n cheese, fried jalapeno balls, and cornbread.
Ribs were okay. Not exactly the “melt off the bone” kinds I was looking for.
TX links were okay, juicy, a bit lacking in spice despite being named “hot”.
Pulled pork was bland and boring. It tasted like boiled strings of pork. Neither juicy nor tender.
Truffle Mac n cheese was bland and too oily.
Fried Jalapeno balls were basically tasteless fried batter.
Cornbread was decent, but $3.5 a piece? Real smoke houses provide them for free…

We had dinner at fat daddy’s smokehouse and the food was delicious. Eric was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He knew the food well and could tell he enjoyed it himself. This is not a super fancy smoke house nor should a smoke house be super fancy. Fat daddy’s smokehouse has a real classic smokehouse vibe and is a must try should you ever visit Maui.

WOW! There is a reason this is the best BBQ on Maui. Actually, the best BBQ I have ever had!! My son and I split the Who’s Your Daddy sampler plate. Yep, we ate the whole thing. It was so much food, I could see the bulge in my belly. The prices may seem a lot even for Maui, but for this BBQ spot, it is definitely worth it. Oh, and try the cornbread. It is also the best ever.

So delicious that it encourages ordering more! I had the brisket plate with extra ribs. A good size for one but I could have ordered a second one right away. After waiting a bit, my tummy finally caught up. The brisket was served as slices and very tender. No sauce was really necessary but several are available. The smokey flavor and dry rub combine to create a wonderful taste. The ribs do the same but with pork. The cornbread had just a touch too much oil for my taste. the truffle mac and cheese had just the right amount of truffle flavor. Not overwhelming and not overwhelmed by the cheese. Get there early. Things do run out. Service can be a little slower during peak periods, of course. Very friendly staff. They also have local beers and a decent selection of whiskey.

Everything was perfect! Ribs and chicken were seriously some of the best I, and my boyfriend have ever had. Literally falling off of the bone! Oh and the cornbread, BOMB
I felt as if the prices were more than fair for the quality! Definitely worth stopping by
