Best giant Cheeseburger on a brioche bun plus they recommended & added /bacon & avocado! They had a steak special with wedge blue cheese bacon salad. (The guys said the burger was better than the steak).. But the wedge salad was delicious that I ate from my husband’s plate! Also they have the Best Hula Pie Slice (icecream layers with chocolate cookie crust, whipcream & fudge syrup drizzle) it was huge, so 6 of us split one giant slice after we were full from our meals.. They still have it made fresh even after the Maui fire destroyed the main bldg where the pie used to come from! Soo good!

We visited Leilani’s on the Beach during a recent trip to Maui in January, and it was one of those meals that just felt like Hawaii in the best possible way.
Right away, the drinks set the tone — tropical, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who know what they’re doing. Not overly sweet, not watered down… just dangerously good. We also ordered a few appetizers, and everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Perfect beachside food that doesn’t feel like a tourist trap.
But the real star of the show was dessert. The Hula Pie absolutely lived up to the hype. Huge, rich, and indulgent — and what really set it apart was the drizzle of real local honey, which added a depth and warmth you don’t usually get with desserts like this. Easily one of the best desserts we had on the entire trip.
Between the oceanfront setting, great service, excellent food, and that unforgettable dessert, Leilani’s was a standout. It’s the kind of place you leave already talking about when you’ll come back next time you’re on the island.

Enjoyed an incredible meal on the ocean! From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left the staff was on point and so kind. Jake the manager of the restaurant was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our visit was amazing. We both enjoyed the crab cakes as our appetizer, fresh fish for our dinner and hula pie for dessert. Good quality food and good portion size. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

A wonderful location on the seaside and the food largely delivers too. My favorite is the hot pot with a whiff of saffron that gives the seafood stew extra taste. The setting is just wonderful but you will not be disappointed. The service was excellent too on our visit.

Super fun bar area overlooking the water. Poke bowl was great. Drinks average price for Hawaii.

Great location in the Whalers shopping mall on the beach walk. We had coconut shrimp to start with a couple foo-foo drinks. So good. The main course was fabulous. The mahi was accompanied with garlic mashed. The ahi was seared but mostly raw. Sushi grade.

A reliable choice for sunset views, whale watching, and an easygoing dinner. Upstairs dining opens at 4:30 pm, while the downstairs bar is open more hours and is more casual.
A 5:30 pm reservation works perfectly for sunset and dusk. The menu isn’t overly adventurous, but it’s versatile and works well for groups and kids, with a few good fish options.

First time in Maui even first time in Hawaii. Decided to go to the Whalers Village as my only meal had been a Musubi Roll so wanted to experience the full Maui experience.
Absolutely loved my time at Leilani’s on the Beach, casual dining area (there’s two different sections). My bento box of all things nice was delicious and the beer I had was the perfect brew to match it with. Had a coffee as well as the glorious sun began to set. The waitress I had, was an absolute star as well, friendly and charming. 100% satisfaction!

We tried Leilani’s on the Beach and found it to be an average experience overall — I’d rate it about 3 stars. The location is great with a nice beach atmosphere, but the restaurant feels more like a polished chain-on-the-ocean rather than a unique dining spot.
The food was okay but underwhelming for the price and hype. The hummus was heavy on oil and hidden at the bottom of the plate, the calamari lacked much flavor, and the mashed potatoes had that heat-lamp crust that made them taste like they’d been sitting. Nothing stood out as thoughtful or memorable.
Service was friendly, and our waiter did their best, but the restaurant was very busy and it showed. The overall service level didn’t quite match what you’d expect for the setting and cost.
In hindsight, we probably would have enjoyed the beach bar portion of the restaurant more, since that casual vibe and pace seems like a better fit for this spot.

We sat upstairs in the dining area. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and the highlight of our visit.
We ordered the coconut shrimp, grilled shrimp with butter and garlic, beets and ricotta salad, and poke. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. The ricotta had a thinner consistency than expected, and the beets were fairly mild in flavor. The coconut shrimp arrived at room temperature and was somewhat dry. The butter sauce on the shrimp lacked a clear buttery flavor, and the poke did not seem as fresh as anticipated.
Overall, while the service was outstanding, the food was inconsistent with what we were hoping for.
