We are here now, and see a plethora of good choices in the 3 or 4 $$$$ arena, including ones that have popped up on this Board--wonder if there are places someone who loves food can go to that maybe $$ or even $, knowing that we will not be at quite the same level as the more expensive ones.. We are traveling with our two teenage kids, who are sophisticated eaters, and when you go to places like Lahaina Grill for 4 people, one can only do that so many times over the course of 10 days and still have money to pay for gas in the rental car.

For instance, we ate at Hula Grill in Kaanapali tonight which, though not inexpensive, was at least somewhat less expensive than say, Lahaina Grill. I'm looking for another Hula Grill, or perhaps a tad cheaper. Sun Jul 19 00:49:48 -0700 2009 4871092 206588 bigplate 1 4871898 You can try Honokowai Okazuya & Deli, fairly cheap with a ton of food. We typically don't spend a lot of time up in Lahaina/Kaanapali area, but I did enjoy this quite a bit. http://dineomite.blogspot.com/2009/06/honokowai-okazuya-deli.html Sun Jul 19 12:21:52 -0700 2009 4871066 132751 ladybugthepug 1 5023465 A helpfull tip to all visiting not just maui but this applies to las vegas also eat out where the locals eat out, the food will be just as good as other spots for less. If you go to a tourist spot be prepared to pay. I grew up in maui as as boy but now reside in las vegas. I have been in Vegas for 15 years and when we travel back to Maui we have 3 teenagers which makes food costs a big factor. The Local Foodland is a great place to curve the cost of eating out. I know your probably saying Foodland? Just hear me out. Foodland has out of this world selection in their Deli and seafood section, sushi,fresh Poke',short ribs,musibi's,fresh hawaiian breads. This is where the locals shop so prices are resonable quality is great and quantity is large. We load up on many items at foodland stock are hotel fridge or bring to the beach during the day. We select certain night to go as a family. This helps feed three bottomless pits without needing a bailout after our vaction Fri Sep 11 17:38:07 -0700 2009 4871066 1108726 EricM. 2 5092076 We will be going to Maui in a couple of weeks, we are staying in the Kaanapali area, I normally shop at the Star Market. Where is Foodland located? I like what you had wrote about all the cook food.

Very good packaged Huli-Huli chicken ready to go. For a change of pace, try out the Honolua General Store at Kapalua. Hot food, great prices, you won't regret it Sat Oct 10 19:20:42 -0700 2009 5092076 1115388 rexster314 4 5097066 I agree with you, great cook local food at the Kapulua General Store. I will do my shopping next week at Foodland, thank you for the tip.

Their burgers, fries, and rings are delicious and the pulled pork sandwich is one of the best I have ever had. You can get coupons for free root beer floats (made with Roselani ice cream) at lots of locations around Lahaina. It's a great spot to relax with a beer and watch the traffic on Front Street.
