This place is a hoot- a blast from the past diner virtually unchanged since it opened in the 50's. Generous portions, traditional and Hawaiian fare. The locale is a little gritty, but here you will mingle with locals and enjoy a real casual family atmosphere.

Maui OnStage has the distinction of being one of the longest consistently running theater companies in the United States. See website for current shows.

Sweet little cowboy town- throwback to the Paniolo days. Wonderful little artsy shops and galleries to browse between bites at the Komoda Store for donuts (arrive very early to stand in line) or Polli's for Mexican and Margaritas. Sadly our favorite Makawao Steakhouse recently closed- hopefully open again soon!
