Reviews Lava Rock Bar & Grill

We got a table out on the covered patio and it was a great option to enjoy the breeze and watch the sunset. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and she recommended some great drink options. We started off with Lava Flows and they were fantastic! I also got mahi mahi tacos, which were delicious!

2 of us were seated by Chelsea. She was so friendly and personable even though it was busy. I had asked for a rail table. They were all full but she said she'd keep an eye and move us if one opened up. The view was incredible, the $3 mimosa was delicious, and the food was standard but good. Would definitely eat here again and recommend this place and special thanks to Chelsea for being such a great server.

Best breakfast/lunch on this side of Maui!! The food was amazing and the staff were so kind and helpful. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to check out their dinners, but if it’s anything like their earlier day food, I’m sure it’s great. Also, the view is amazing!! Ocean on one side, mountains on the other. You won’t regret checking this place out! :)

Lava rock was one of our favorite bars in Kihei! Sunshine, the hostess, was great. She welcomed us with a huge smile, got us settled at our table, and even cracked a joke. Lucas, our sever, was on top of it. We had a party of 20 that all arrived at different times and he was attentive and made sure everyone had full drinks all night long. The food is great, but the happy hour deals are even better! Dont miss stopping at Lava Rock if you need a good atmosphere and awesome service.

We had a great lunch at the Lava Rock Bar and Grill. The Ahi was some of the freshest on the island and the sesame seaweed salad was flavorful and complimentary. My wife enjoyed the loaded fries with aioli. My father-in-law had the barbeque wings. The drinks were beautiful and paired well with the meal. Great atmosphere and service. Isobel was friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

We ate here twice while visiting Maui, and we loved it! The first time we stumbled onto this place while looking for breakfast without a long wait. We loved it so much we had to come back another day for lunch- which was even better. Highly recommend!

I almost missed this restaurant. I actually found it by accident because the one downstairs had a 45 minute wait. I am so glad that we went here the food was awesome. I had the no meat sausage entree and it was delicious love the vegetables love the way the fake meat was cooked it's a great restaurant for vegetarians! my friend had the French onion soup and said it was delicious as her appetizer and for her main meal got a poke bowl and loved it. the thing that is killer is the view!!! Great place to be able to watch the sunset. they have a huge bar and pool tables that are inside the building and the outside patio area is where you can watch the sunset. I'm guessing it's a really hopping place on the weekend because they have a huge dance floor DJ booth speakers etc in and around the bar area. I was worried it was just going to be bar food but the menu is really great and the food was delicious. there's an elevator to get to the second floor or stairs. the wait staff was a little slow because there were quite a few people that all showed up at the same time. at the same time the wait staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu and had a great attitude!!! I recommend this place for anybody who wants good poke bowls vegetarian meal or their specialty steak. it's actually cooked and then brought to you to finish cooking on a lava rock. hence the name lava rock. Enjoy!

Food: I was not a fan of the quality of the steak, but the flavor was ok. I did however enjoy my husbands plate more-the teriyaki trio-that was delicious. Another in our party, contrary to me, loved the steak and her husband loved the fajitas. Overall great food…more preference on my part. Location: it’s on the 2nd floor with the windows open and a bar in the center, nice atmosphere and centrally located. Service: the girl at the host stand was very sweet and accommodated us without a reservation. Our server at the beginning was not warm and friendly, seemed rushed and almost bothered to have our table. He made no menu suggestions, didn’t talk much and seemed to just want our order and be done with us. Towards the end he warmed up some and seemed a little more pleasant. We all agreed that this was the first place we visited in Maui that didn’t have the “welcome, relaxed, laid back feel” unfortunately. Just seemed off compared to all the other places we visited. I rated 4 stars because everything else was great just a bumpy start with the server - maybe he was having a bad day 🤷🏻‍♀️. If you are in Kihei - give it a try, should be a good meal and time in the atmosphere of the restaurant.
