REVIEWS OF CJ's Deli & Diner IN Hawaii

Mark Michalik

Great vegan options. We had the Beyond Burger, a tofu veggie bowl, and a couple of cups of soups (3 of the soups they had that day were vegan!) I was dissapointed that they didn't have the Beyond Sausages I had read about in a different review, but it was overall a great experience. Nothing spectacular, but we left satisfied. I docked a star because the burger didn't come with fries or chips. Even so, I would definitely recommend to traveling vegetarians and vegans.

Robert Collier

Thanks for great food and prices

Stephanie Hill

I was not impressed with this place. The staff wasn’t professional and the food was mediocre at best. Not worth the price.

Kelly Purple

Loved this place. Fresh food, cool little cafe, decent prices.

Michelle Lemaire

Well priced and very close our hotel. The BBQ platter was awsome and was share between us for dinner. It would have been an an adequate lunch to hold you over.

Dan Matteo

Very good prices and lots of choices. Almost too many though. The pineapple wasn’t really fresh - definitely not worth $5. Go to a stand on the road to Hana. Had the Patty Melt which wasn’t impressive. They do offer lunch boxes for Hana though which is probably smart - comes with a cooler. A one and done spot for us.

Justin B

Good food with decent prices. Its counter service with a bigger than average menu. There are better options for the price, you won't be disappointed but it also won't wow you.

Lindsay B

Great in and out place but the food isn't extraordinary and it always feels a little dirty inside

Jeff H

This place isn't too far from the resorts, and is in a long strip mall. They have a huge menu so you should be able to find something to your liking as long as you are not expecting some type of healthy 10 calorie max meal. They give you good size portions so make sure you're ready for it. You can dine in or take out.

Steve Widziewicz

The food was great service wasn't bad but wasn't great either

Mark Hagen

Amazing variety! Salads, soups, smoothies, burgers, wraps, local dishes and even kombucha...if you're feeling like a hipster ;) Great, location, ambience and service with a smile :)

Kevin Saylor

Don't waste your time or money. Kitchen had food all over the floor! The three soda dispensers to the left (sprite, rootbeer, and fruit punch) had carbonated water... The lady who took our order was so rude... I paid 2 extra dollars for fries and got a hand full. Plus they messed up our order and didn't care to fix it. Lettuce from my fiance's salad was wilted and black. Forget this place and go to beach house for happy hour, captain Jacks is great and cool cats is great.

Ron Elliott

Food was lousy. Slippin from years past. Don't get chicken nachos. Worst ever.

Jeff Williams

Lunch was so good we came back for breakfast the next day. Everything taste delicious and the people are very nice.

Steve Tishko

A great spot tucked away in an unassuming strip center just north of the main entrance to Kaanapali resorts, off Keaka Dr. Great for BLD with local favorites prepared in authentic island fashion, plus many mainland staples. They'll prepare sumptuous box lunches for beach picnics including a cooler. Generous portions, reasonable prices and very friendly service - but not table service. You order at the counter from menus on the right wall or big chalkboard and they'll call you when it's ready. Pick a comfortable seat and enjoy a great meal. A real gem in a plethora of resort restaurants.

Allen Mann

Very casual husband/wife owner operated restaurant the food is very tasty everything cook fresh to order just for you... Breakfast served until 11 BYOB check it out you won't be sorry

James McDowell

Good food and they pack your lunch so you can go to the parks and not have to look for a place to eat

Darryl Davidson

Fish tacos very good. Great sauce on the side as well as peach chutney. Kids hamburger was large and my boy loved it. I would go back for the tacos.

Don Peer

Great BBQ ribs! Six people; six different meals; every thing is very tasty!

lai har fong

Breakfast was good, friendly staff

Lauren C

Close to the Sheraton. Ate breakfast here numerous days on our trip. Delicious. Staff was pleasant. Food doesn’t come out super fast, but everything is made from scratch.

Sandy Rasmussen

Food was good. Lady taking our order was not that polite and seemed to not like her job much.

Fairley Muehleck

Delish!! Hubby got banana pancakes and we finally understood what the song was about

Nicholas Dubon

Big Burger Combo. Best burger I have ever had in my entire life! Great service and helpful staff. If I return to Maui this is my first stop.

Jake Juarez

The best food and staff on maui

kim bowman

Really enjoyed the fish tacos

Renee Jess-Mil

Ordered the burger and fries. The burger was ok and the fries portion was pretty small. This is still one of the cheaper places in the area. Nice atmosphere and restaurant was clean.

Kristin Elizabeth

Offers gluten free options when those options are highly cross contaminated. Also cooks with bare hands, contaminating cooked food with raw meats. When concern was expressed we were met with hostility.

Julie Biren

Casual atmosphere, wonderful food!, friendly staff :)

Matthew Cruz

This place is awesome ! Ate here 3 times for breakfast . Good comfort food . Good pancakes coffee and fried rice

Ryan Fenn

Great little spot, lots of reviews saying how terrible the service was. Everyone was nice and helpful for me!

Lona Smith

Nice, quiet and quaint. Small business owners was very personable running the register. Very good food with a lot of different options depending what you are craving. Food Came out hot and fast. Togo options as well. Handcrafted salsa and siriacha which was very good. Very friendly answered questions about menu and gave recommendations.

starskycar .

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Taste like homemade.

SixFix K

Best value and selection in all of maui! We always enjoy eating here and the service is excellent. Definitely grab the hana lunch box if you're making the trek out to hana.

Megan Callon

So if you want a good breakfast or are planning to take on the Road to Hana-definitely stop in here!! We rented a cooler, got free ice, & lunches to go on our trip....the rental is convenient because it's $15 and you can come back to get free ice until you returnthe cooler-with receipt-and you get your $15 back! Love the decor and loco moco yum

Nick Hellmich

The loco moco is fantastic

Jeannine Ebert

Always good. Restaurant is a bit warm and sticky but take out to beach. All sandwiches good size, big burritos, hamburgers will fill you up. Great little place, close to many resorts. Good prices- about $10 per Burger or sandwich. Quite a bargain for Maui. Have gone there multiple times over the past 10 years and never disappointed.

christy fidura

Owner is so friendly. Food is amazing! A lot of choices! We had a Royal Hawaiian, omelette and a pb and j for the keiki. Will definitely be back when we come back for vacation.

Donavan Calloway

If I could give negative I would the service was not good and I looked at pictures of food before I went in from reviews and they switched out what was supposed to be hamburger patties on the moco loco and they had switched it with old meatloaf.. 10/10 would not recommend to an enemy

Bianca Kauffman

Good chill ambiance. Went in for Loco Loco, was not disappointed. Hit the spot, couldn't finish the large portion. They have a wide array of options. 8 minute walk from Royal Lahaina.

Dennis Pearson

Good food, fare prices

Jordan Newell

C.J. might be one of the rudest persons in Maui. I loved my stay in Maui and caught myself dreaming regularly of a future on this island due to the great food and great people. This man was a caterer for my sister’s wedding and I asked very politely, “the bride’s ready for the reception, how are things here?” He said “I’m not ready, and those that are introducing her are not ready.” “Okay, how much time do you need?” This wasn’t in a confrontational or argumentative tone, but he must have had a bad day because he shouted loud enough for guests at the wedding to hear “do you wanna do my job for me?” We heard it throughout the night from other participants at the wedding that this man had several rough encounters with us through the day in unrelated situations. He either has a terrible personality, or an inability to work at a pace necessary for an event to move seamlessly from a ceremony, to photos, to reception. The meats they prepared was great. Their vegetables are difficult to eat.

Tord Petersen

I would recomend the pasta if you are hungrig. It's huge.

Annie Guiler

Decent food. Quick. Nothing special.

Leticia Huynh

Great food, cheerful and colorful restaurant, fast and helpful service. Would recommend!

Elouise MacKay

Nice place to eat great prices.

Arron NK

The breakfast fried rice, egg and pineapple has been the best meal in 5 days so far on the island.

Jason Hoku Levien

Yay! Vegan options! Tons of other food as well and a great atmosphere. Enjoy and have fun!

Stacy Hjelmstad

Went to CJ’s for breakfast. My husband asked if they had a restroom. At first the woman behind the counter just replied “no”, but the reluctantly ( like it was a hardship) to,d us that it was outside. I was waiting for my husband to return before we placed our order, but the woman kept looking at me impatiently. I had never been to the restaurant and was trying to learn the menu. I ordered the French toast. It was dry and flavorless. Syrup was bland. Coffee tasted like it sat in the same pot for weeks. Has two sips. Not at all impressed. How hard is it to be friendly to your customers? Might explain the lack of them....

Luis Enrique Bustamante

Good food... nice atmosphere

Jon Wild

So looking at the menu online the prices have changed slightly, but oh man oh man was the food delicious! My parents got the Ruben sandwich and I got the special of the day Philly cheese steak. It was so delicious! The menu is very big and robust. I'm not a huge fan of coleslaw but holy cow!!! You must try it for sure! We are definitely going to come back and try more!

N L

Definitely felt rushed by the woman behind the counter when ordering. Food was decent.

Terry Brennan

The food was great and they got are order correct. Nice restaurant!

Randy Liew

Amazingly friendly place with really delicious food. We had our daily breakfast here. The price is not marked up even though it’s by a bunch of resorts. Highly recommended. Going to miss this place.

Ryan Domogma

Its ok i guess lunch is not to busy.

Veronica Csongradi

Great breakfast fare.

Chris Duval

Good food, okay service. Laid back environment. I wasn't overly impressed with the desserts, but I tend to be a bit discriminating.

Katie Daly

This place made our day when they cooked up our fishing haul and made our kids' day. They had great plates and food variety also at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Tori Madison

Just do yourself a favor and don't order the french dip. I ordered a side salad as my side with the meal and got potato salad. Took one bite of the sandwhich and threw the rest out. The bread was soggy, meat was fatty, and the ketchup was sour. We waited for over 5 minutes at the counter before someone even came out to greet us, the workers were in the freezer. No wonder it was empty.

Kathy Varone

Prices great...good always great....great customer servicd

Kyle Murphy

Great prices, excellent food and very friendly service

Sherry Gann

Great food and very clean and fast! Homemade creamy tomato soup was delicious! So was the homemade spaghetti and meatballs.

Michael Woodworth

Amazing fish market and restaurant, has very limited seating so I would recommend ordering to go. It does have a great variety of options though, all for a reasonable price.

McCoy Evers

Big Burger Combo is by far the best burger I’ve ever had. It made me want to come back everyday, just to eat it. The fries were also very good, topping off a spectacular meal. Please make a CJ’s in Utah!

Bryan D

Was not pleased with this place at all. For the money it is terrible and food was not good at all. Spend you money elsewhere. The lady at the register was very rude.

J Bustillos

Extensive menu. Great service,good prices.

Julia Lynch

Big menu with a lot of vegan & gluten free items, which is a huge plus. The food was alright. A little pricey. Staff that I came in contact with weren't friendly at all. Really put me off to ever eating there again. The atmostosphere was lively enough & it had indoor & outdoor seating options.

brian foje

Good choice for food tastes great reasonably priced friendly people

Jason Hughes

Meatloaf was delicious!

Michael Lewandowski

Great selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian food. Build your own breakfast is great, choose how many eggs, sides, etc. The burgers are big and plentiful, especially the bacon cheese burger. The veggie burgers are tasty also. They have something for everyone and are willing make off menu items ( they'll cook your fresh ocean catch too ) Very friendly service and staff. One of our favourites for quick eats while in Maui.

Katie Kuschel

awesome place. they offer a "road to hana" lunch package. Plus yummy food.

Matthew Dove

One of my favorite places in Maui love the pineapple fried rice!!

Ken Wu

A counter service place for when you don't wanna pay for for the expensive hotel buffet. I didn't have much expectations but it was a pretty good breakfast. They use disposable plates and utensils though which is kinda disappointing environmentally. Went back for lunch and the lunch items were not as good.

Ravyn Schmidt

Supposed to be 12.95 for the box lunch and we were charged 14 each. Very cofused. Good food. Friendly abd those damn maple bars were to die for...but dont understand the over charge. Weird.

Paul Chyu

Price was good and my pork dish was good. My wife chicken sub was really bad. Too many items in menu. It gets confusing for a quick bite

Mary Ellen Tucker

Charming, freshly prepared local favorites. We always stop by.

Caroline Muller

sandwiches were good enough and the service was good but at the start they were very particular about how we placed our order which was odd but overall very helpful for our large order!

I M

Good grub. Went here about 5-years ago (or so) and it was far better & more popular. For now, I'd still recommend it for sure. However, it's just a touch lackluster compare to when it first opened.

RossKote

Extreme variety even for the picky-est of eaters. Mom and pop run brings guaranteed consistency daily.

Tyler Beachy

Basically gas station food. I ordered the BBQ Plate with chicken, fish and ribs to go. Someone must have been having an off night. They forgot that we wanted our food to go and forgot one of my included sides. All of my food was awful and had clearly just been hanging out in a warmer all afternoon/evening. Fish was tough and dry, chicken was tough and weird and the mess that was supposed to be ribs was an inedible and disgusting ball of gristle. As starved as I am after a long day, I still have to find food elsewhere. I seriously can not put this stuff down. I am also 95% certain that my wife's rice was a Ben's 90 second microwave pack... Don't know how this place's breakfast is, but dinner was horrific. Included photo of what they called "ribs".

Steve Cieslewicz

Fun boisterous place. Good service. But food fell short to me. Mac nut mahi had good sauce and flavor but cooked beyond done. Ahi tacos lacking flavor although shells were good. Needed some more flavoring. Good cocktails and decent wine list

Rebecca Brabec

Best LOCO MOCO in the area! Free coffee refills. Highly recommended

Eric Finkelstein

Very friendly service, and food is amazing! Eclectic mix of Hawaiian fare and traditional deli/diner food. Chorizo wrap is a must! Ate it 3 times in a row!

Hiro Kuwana

Amazing place! The owner’s are so kind and very active, with a busy and friendly atmosphere. Definitely would recommend anything they recommend, since there’s a variety of foods and the serving sizes are very generous!

Douglas Layer

Food was fantastic. Prices are unbeatable. Fast, easy, the perfect place to go for a meal any time of day.

Edgar Lopez

Every time I'm in Kaanapali I visit this place for lunch. It used to be great. This time things have changed. The cooks are walking around, being very unprofessional. Like it's a bother for us to ask something of them. The cashier is nice, but the feeling isn't very inviting. Not sure if I'll be coming back. I was actually thinking of having their breakfast and not just lunch but after bad experiences during my last two lunches, I doubt I'll be coming. So sad they don't seem to care about the customers. Food is great, but that goes out the window with their attitude.

Nick Koston

Great catering options. They were able to do a full vegan and veggie menu and provide options for the carnivores. If you are stopping in they have a great bbq pulled pork sandwich

Robby Joaquin

Food was ok. Served on paper plates. Staff not very friendly.

Arman P. Morjaria

Good atmosphere, nice seating. Food was sub par. Edible but not good. When asked they didn't even know what was in their vegetarian burger. Even if they buy it from another supplier they should know exactly what's in it, especially in case of allergies. Decent prices. Friendly service.

Beverly DeLorenzo

Quick breakfast. Friendly service. Fresh, hot off the grill. Delicious!

Ryan Sepiol

Randomly went in on a local shop clerk recommendation. Got the Mahi fish tacos, solid, and the Royal BBQ. The ribs were 'oh my God' good. Chicken aas pretty damn good too. Such a pleasant surprise to randomly get some of the best ribs I can remember.

John Bordy

I had the huli huli plate lunch. The chicken didn't taste freshly cooked; I wouldn't be surprised if it was leftover from a day or two ago. I was expecting freshly grilled chicken but this wasn't it. The two thighs were covered in a sauce that had an odd consistency, and once again did not seem fresh. I was also disappointed that there was no macaroni salad on the plate; instead there were vegetables. The lady working the register was not friendly at all; I won't be returning here.

Lucas Emhof

CJ’s was an awesome little find! If you’re staying at the resorts and want a delicious, affordable breakfast this is the place!! The breakfast wrap was incredible, served with homemade salsa and homemade sriracha sauce. Super friendly owner and welcoming Aloha spirit grace CJ’s. We’ll be coming here every morning for the rest of our stay. Mahalo CJ’s!

aserquin

Staff seemed to be very cold (emotion-wise) when we entered. The decoration in the restaurant is well done and inviting. Staff were hanging out and looked bitter from my group’s arrival. I had ordered spaghetti, while they claimed the pasta was freshly home-made that morning, it wasn’t very good. The sauce tasted a bit stale, and didn’t do a very good job of giving off a good taste. Overall the restaurant is pretty mediocre depending on which time you come. I may have come too late for the staffs’ taste, and that could’ve made them a bit more distant.

Robert Wichtendahl

Great food and service. They offer a picnic lunch which was perfect for our road trip up to Haleakala for sunset dinner. They packed a cooler for all five of us; sandwiches, fresh fruit, chips, cookie, drink all for a very good price (even for main land prices!). They are smart too...they pack the lettuce and tomato separately so the bread stays fresh! Again, they are very good and nice. Accidentally, because it was so dark at the mountain top, we forgot their cooler there. Well, they said, that's what the deposit is for which was fai and reasonable. Thanks again to CJ's for a great mountain top dinner!!

Piotr Klimkowski

Food was so-so. It’s not so cheap either. There are better diners around

Subatomic Nucleotide

What a nice, quaint place. Reasonable prices, tasty food. Had a great breakfast, got the lunch to take to Hana which came in its own cooler. Would recommend. A nice change from the haughty resort experience.

steve bianchi

Great breakfast very reasonable

Dain Hodson

My wife and I really liked this place and would definitely go back again. Great food, cheap eats place.

Bruno Genovese

The first time my family and I visited everything was great. The French toast, omelette and gluten-free French toast all tasted great. We decided to give it a second try due to our first experience... what a disappointment! The bacon on all three of our plates was black, petrified and looked like it was cooked the day before... The eggs and potatoes had no seasoning... Bland and tasteless. I asked the lady at the counter to replace the bacon and I saw the cook take the 8 slices of bacon and replace it with four reasonably cooked slices... he then proceeded to take my petrified bacon and put it back on his stack of "ready to serve bacon" ... I guess to serve to another customer... Absolutely brutal!

Laurie Pickerel

Best Macadamia nut pancakes and delicious coconut syrup.

Margaret Devan

Big selection, reasonable prices

Manuela Villa

The woman employee scammed us out of 50% off 2nd entree. Potatoes are somehow ruberry and chewy, gross. All other food is good.

RRR RRR

Wife and I Had breakfast here twice in a week and was good food and staff, great value. I've paid twice as much elsewhere and got worse

Dustin Dunnick

Good short ribs and fries, was not a fan of the fish.

Chad Taylor

Meatloaf was good, however, it came out barely warm. Chicken hoagie was good, but came out barely warm. Stay away from the truffle fries. Over priced. Came out just warm and terrible flavor. Stay away from the bacon, broccoli, truffle soup. FULL of stems. Like chewing on hay, for real. The burger was actually really good. Over all, not impressed. $70 for 2 adult and 2 children. Over priced.

justtaey .

Great prices that's for sure. Unfortunately their Kaluah pork was terribly salty. Could barley swallow it and definitely didn't finish the plate. We also had the pineapple rice, it was the saving grace of the meal, very good.

Ann Gunderson

We had excellent clubhouse sandwiches with a side of potato salad. I'm usually disappointed in the lack of flavor in deli potato salad, but this was definitely the best I've ever had. We plan to go back before we leave.

Jason Kinslow

Good sandwiches, decent prices. The Road to Hana package with a cooler is a great idea.

S Ramirez

Hamburger was acceptable, service was good, so they get a couple stars. The fish tacos were not very good, corn tortilla is chewy, fish had no flavor. Fried rice was mushy and had too many competing flavors in it. I would not go back

Central Maui

CJ's Deli is amazing! We recently had them cater a small event for us at our West Maui Animal Clinic in Lahaina. CJ went above and beyond to provide excellent service and pricing. He even helped set up and break down for the event. The quality of the food was great, everyone loved it - especially their lemonade! Mahalo again from the Maui Animal Clinic Staff!

Lourdes G.

The hotel concierge recommended this place and it was very disappointing. We went to breakfast and waited on the line for 20 minutes to order we ordered 2 breakfasts and 2 bag lunch sandwiches for our trip. the breakfast is so bad that we tried to cancel lunch but they told us that it was already prepared. they serve you food on paper plates and disposable cutlery They put 2 sandwiches with chips and a cookie on ice to keep it cold. The ice melted and everything ended up wet, we saved a half of the sandwich and the taste was bad, we threw away the water and returned everything to return the 15 dollars that we left for deposit by the bag. We noticed that in this place there were only tourists and it is because hotel employees recommend it because they are given commission to send victims to eat here.

Pamela Gatfield

Awesome food and selection of the local favorites and American cuisine. Fish combo is fantastic. They have gluten free buns and bread as an option but they are kinda like sawdust. Good location is beach adjacent.

D Tran

Tons of options! Very close to the string of resorts in Lahaina. They also offer gluten free/friendly options which is a plus. Very lovely staff and the prices are very decent.

Ashley

Slightly over priced for the quality of food. I got the tuna melt and there was way too much pepper on it and it said it's supposed to be tuna salad with cheese, pretty sure they mixed the tuna with mayo and pepper and called that tuna salad. Also got the side of potato salad which was not terrible but they didn't take the skin off of the potatoes which shows how credible the cook is. Also you can get better fish tacos from the jawz food truck just sub par. The people working there are very dry and dull as well. Don't waste your time or money here.

Jack Mimms

Good portions, good price, good service

Kerry Wright

Awesome food! Claim chowder is of the chains!!!

Trevor Flake

Great service and was very clean and well organized. The Hawaiian sweetbreads French toast was freaking amazing!! My wife had the Nutella banana pancakes and they where like next level amazing but best of all it's way affordable unlike everywhere else in Hawaii lol.

Steve Johns

Cool little diner, close to our hotel. Near where we rented our snorkel gear from.

Jeff Mucha

Get the banana coconut pancakes. They are phenomenal.

Madalyn Mena

Service was awesome!! Really kind and genuine. We went for breakfast on our last day on the island and definitely wish we went somewhere else... potatoes were bland, fried rice tasted like it was cooked on grill that hadn't been cleaned--meat in the fried rice was tasty though. Favorite part was the pancakes, super yummy especially with the coconut cream sauce. Good prices but again, probably would not recommend.

Melissa Valencia

Cool atmosphere and mediocre food for Hawaii. There are other places with a more authentic Hawaaian experience and flavor, so we were a little disappointed. Prices weren't too bad and menu has a large variety.

Gordon Neal

Went here on a recommendation and was not too impressed with the taste of the food. Pork loin was over-cooked. Ecclectic setting should limit its offerings to breakfast only.

Joshua Larkin

My wife and I loved this place. The food is good and so are their prices, that is really all I ask for in a restaurant. If you are into high end food this is not the place for you. But for what you pay you get a decent amount of food. They have Hawaiian traditional food as well.

Barb Gunderson

My husband and I split the loco moco. It was excellent. Ask for extra onion gravy! The unsweetened mango ice tea was also very good.

Margie Devan

Good local food at good prices

Barry Wurst

Great food at a fair price in the heart of the Kaanapali resort area. Fantastic Hana box meals to take on you trek along the north shore.

Lori Hernandez

There was something not right with Pineapple fried rice with teriyaki chicken i was so sad an dissapointment it smelled horrible like the sauce or something in it was spoiled...

Don Decker

Gr8 local dinner locally known for exceptional breakfast and lunch. Smoked salmon bagel dish to die for. Being and Arizona boy i tried chorizo burrito surprised me gr8 N Maui as well

Danielle Jackson

Near our hotel and on the road to beaches this little deli / diner was perfect to grab meals or to go sandwiches. Prices were more than fair! Better than hotel food and easy to go option allowed us to grab last meal before heading for the airport. I would come back

Kyle P

Great food and variety for a pretty decent price!

zach snell

Went here for breakfast. Ambiance was nice, menu looked decent. Had been to quite a few places on Maui before here and had similar dishes. The food here was not good. Had the 2 egg plate with potatoes and Portuguese Sausage. Potatoes tasted off to say the least, burnt on one side and not browned on the other. Sausage was the same and tasted like it was cooked on a dirty griddle. Wife had the Loco Moco, she had this dish at two other places but did not like it here. Maybe personal opinion as are all reviews. However, my opinion of the counter staff was also quite negative. Had to wait 5mins to order but no big deal, we we're just enjoying breakfast. Lady at the counter finally comes over and takes order, all good with our 30$ of basic food, about thea same as most places nearby. Lady was rude about the fact we only got one drink like we wanted to steal all their precious soda. Didn't even finish one cup but she made sure to tell us no refil on the 3$ 12oz cup. Whatever I get it you gotta make money but are you serious, worried about what? 25 cents worth of coke we might drink if we shared a cup each. I wouldn't even go back to try other foods since it was out of left field that they were so rude.

Coleen Coffey

Best fish and chips I've ever had! Also had a great breakfast there. Would highly recommend. Very casual place but great food, generous servings.

Immann Iddiott

The family had 3 great meals there. Huge variety and easy to find something for everyone, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Gluten-free buns available. Both classic food and island favorites. The cook went out of his way to correct a very small issue. One complaint is unable to add tip to credit cards.

Chase Youngblood

CJ catered a dinner for 9 of us. The attention to detail was extraordinary. We agreed on multiple courses, all of them were cooked perfectly and served with great enthusiasm. CJ loves what he does and it shows. Highly recommended!

Ali A

So many delicious choice's

Chad Norris

This is a great place for an easy and quick lunch, Hana road trip bagged lunch or a sit down meal. The owners have run it for 16 years now and we make sure to stop in at least once each visit. It's inexpensive, served on paper plates but still really well done.

Henry Kahue

Clam Chowder needs improvement ither than that, great variety.

Audrey Ostrowski-Gallagher

Good food, better prices than at nearby resorts. Burger was really tasty, cooked to perfection. Fresh fish tacos were great!

Alexander Johnson

Holy cow. My wife and I got kalua pineapple pork rice late st night and it was DELICIOUS so we came back 2 days later and had the best breakfast of our lives. What’s really cool is the owner is the one to take your order and her husband is the cook. You can tell they love their job in the taste of their food. Go here!!

Jon Teson

Holy cow, this place is absolutely phenomenal. We caught a Mahimahi on a charter fishing trip and had them prepare it. Man did I make a great decision. The vibe of this place is super chill, great music on the radio (mainly 80's), and the prices are great. They have something called the Fish Program where you bring in the fish you caught and they prepare it for you for a few hours later and they make a serious production out of it. The fish was preparation of the fish was phenomenal, the sides were fantastic, the people were super friendly. Very very highly recommend, especially if u catch a fish and want to have it cooked.

Ricardo Davila

Good food and fast service. Gluten free menu too.

Gerald Villanueva

Not sure if this the same restaurant that everyone is bragging about. I've eaten twice now since I arrive in Lahaina. CJ's is far from being good and or great prices. First night I had the "mixed grille bbq", the fish had a bad smell and the the cream sauce had a sour smell and taste to it, the chicken was dry; looks like it's been cooked couple of times or old and the pork rib was tender and to cover the age of this pork they had it swimming in a pool of bbq sauce. I thought I'd give it another chance since maybe the reason that it wasn't prepared corrctly because this place was really busy serving all of the tourists or they don't really care because there's always new tourists coming to town. Anyway, the ways next morning we ordered the breakfast special (8.95 each order), you get a choice of rice or potatoes, back. Or sausage and 2 eggs; no toast for this price (3.00 extra for toast). Well if you choose rice instead of potatoes, it's not ready or available because they don't start making the rice until 7:30ish which thus special ends at 8am and one plate that was serve had 4 little slices of kielbasa sausage only and the o the plate had your regular links. All and all we were not pleased and will never go back here again. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Very disappointed......

Susan Hart

Not the most enjoyable fish and chips. Quantity was great but I found the batter too greasy and heavy.

Austin Peck

This restaurant was a frequent stop for my wife and I on our Maui trip. It has a huge menu, something for everyone, and is very fairly priced. The food is really good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a lower key place where food is served on paper plates but don’t let that deter you from giving it a try. The food is good quality and in good portions. I would suggest CJ’s for those seeking a quick meal with good bang for their buck.

Pretty sure a wet mop has more personality than the staff here. We came in for coffee in the morning and it was $3 cup for stale, old coffee.when we asked for sleeves for our cups we were told the didn't have any and no trays. Ok cool, we'll just burn our hands then.. Later we came for ice cream as it was the only place open. The lady was rude to my kids when the politely ordered. She messed up our orders then charged us $8 more. Brought our ice cream out and we said "thank you" which was reciprocated with a glare. The place is dirty. Don't bother wasting your time here. It's sub par compared to all the other places we've eaten I'm Maui. A smile and some manors go a long way.

Fantastic service and great variety of menu options.

Decent place to eat,but, lady who works the register needs to learn sales etiquette.

Ordered a Rueben. Very soggy..falling apart. Meat was very good as was filling in general. In the menu stated served with thousand island dressing but was served with a grainy mustard. Not good. Coleslaw was okay. As I live local I will give them another try for breakfast. Place is comfortable enough. Always try to give a place a 2nd shot.

Keep your expectations inline with a tourist spot. But if you want really good comfort food without paying resort restaurant prices, this is your place. Convenient parking, eclectic decor, and friendly staff round out an enjoyable lunch experience. I tried a CJ's specialty the Loco Moco. Imagine a mashed potato sea, a high quality hamburger patty island, a layer of mouth thrilling onion (brown) gravy and two fried eggs laying over it all like the low clouds covering Maui. Oh man! Just typing that makes me want to got back for breakfast! (Sorry I cut it up before snapping a pic.)

Great menu! They also have Gluten free and Vegetarian menus - just ask. Marilyn is always friendly and helpful. Love this place!

Super friendly staff, and chef did an amazing job cooking the mahi mahi that we caught this morning! So glad we came here. Highly recommend the Fish Program!!

Meh. Had breakfast (super greasy crisont sandwiches) and picked up the Hana boxed lunch. Do not do the Hana box lunch. Our sandwiches got soggy AF, and the cooler leaked in the car. The food along the way to Hana was much better. Do that instead.

An excellent experience! I got takeout for dinner one day: my partner was astounded by the quantity of ribs in the full rack plate, and I was happy with the size of my soup and salad. I appreciated how my soup (chicken & bean) was well-seasoned, with a refreshing amount of acid that worked well, and my partner was happy with the flavor of the ribs as well. Prices are good -- our bill was $31 and the woman at the counter (Corky?) was lovely and personable. They seem like they also have a ton of breakfast / lunch food.

Food was very blah and everything is served on single use disposable plates. Really not environmentally conscious at all. Went here a while ago so hopefully things have changed and the food has gotten better.

Meal was fine, we had the mochiko and the mango ribs (both were tasty, but salty)..service was nominal.

Breakfast here is decent. The Salmon Eggs Benedict is not that great, so if I were to come back again I would order the regular Lox Bagel instead. Although the prices here are great and they make a good cup of coffee. There's a lot going on with the wall menus and is a bit confusing at first, but I would recommend standing back and taking a minute to read it before attempting to order. Otherwise, I would check out the menu online or ask for a printout menu. With that being said, there's a lot to choose from so I might have to order something different next time.
