Our server Kaylia was wonderful. Offered good recommendations when asked and was very attentive. She really made our lunch totally enjoyable. Did sandwich and ono ceviche were delicious!!! Thanks so much Kaylia!!!! read more

Good food and attentive service, but the dining experience was affected by a large number of flies. We visited at night, and the bright lighting seemed to attract them, which made the meal less enjoyable. read more

We came in the evening and it wasn't too busy, which made the whole vibe really relaxed and nice Our server was super friendly and attentive from the start...just easy, welcoming service without any rush. Everything was honestly delicious The ribeye was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful. The SHARK BAIT SALAD was so fresh, and that dressing was a highlight for us The ceviche was also bright, fresh, and really tasty. Just a really good, easy dinner overall. We'd definitely come back read more

Service is as incredibly friendly and you have views of the beach. Nice to walk around before or after (it's right next to the pool too though so it can get loud if there's lots of people/kids there). Food is good in a tgif/chilis/applebees sort of way ~ we enjoyed it here read more

It's wonderful to see more businesses at Maui. This restaurant opened about a year and a half ago. My hubby ordered a pesto pasta with shrimps. They had so much shrimp in the dish and they were delicious! I ordered the Blackened grilled fish with vegetables and rice. I think they could have used a little more seasoning for the fish. Veggies were done just right and fish was not overcooked. The lava flow drink looked quite different but was also delicious. Lastly, we had the lilikoi crème brulee. I loved it since it was lightly sweet and tangy. One must try it if you like lilikoi. Service was excellent. She was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant is casual, with a view of the beach and lots of tv screens for those who live to watch sports. It was a busy night but quiet enough to have a conversation. read more

IMHO Captain Jack's was formally located on Front Street overlooking the iconic Lahaina Banyan Tree. It is now located on the Sands of Kahana resort property. We made it a priority to visit Captain Jack's this visit. The open-aired restaurant overlooks the resort pool. If I were swimming in or lounging around the pool, I would not like having an audience of diners looking at me...but that's just me. LOL We shared the Calico Jack's Burger, "fresh 6.5 oz. certified Angus beef, bacon, cheddar, toasted brioche bun, lettuce, tomato, red onion, thousand island, mayo, and fries", $24, and an order of Jack's wings, "6 chicken wings, celery, carrots, sweet Thai chili", $18, plus one 22 oz. Bikini Blonde beer, $12. Service was aloha friendly and helpful, and the food was satisfying! read more

If you're looking for something familiar and easy, this place hits that sweet spot. It has that classic "Applebee's/Friday's" vibe--fast, friendly service, plenty of TVs for catching a game, and free parking, which is always a win. The walk up is actually a nice touch too, with a cute koi pond that gives it a bit more charm than your typical chain feel. The food is decent and exactly what you'd expect--nothing mind-blowing, but reliable and satisfying if you're in the mood for casual, American-style comfort food. Overall, it's a solid, no-surprises spot when you want something laid-back and predictable. Beautiful sunset view as well. read more

Holy hell this place is a hidden gem! The food was off the charts delicious and our waitress Yna was the best. We have visited some places that people say are "must go to" places while on our visit to Maui and Captain Jacks Island Grill blows them out of the water. The drinks are true pour drinks and the food was delicious. The price is great for the quality and exceptional taste. The ceviche and crab cakes are delicious. The bar is a nice size and the dining room has plenty to of space with a nice breeze coming through! I highly recommend Captain Jacks Island Grill and will visit on my next visit for sure! read more

Had a great meal at Captain Jack's Island Grill and would definitely come back again. The mac salad side was creamy with just the right tang and kick, tasted classic and comforting. The standout for me was the blackened fish tacos. The fish was perfectly seasoned with bold spices and topped with a spicy salsa that added a nice kick. The portions were generous, the pieces of fish were huge, and honestly just one taco filled me up. Ended up getting two meals out of it! The coleslaw inside was crunchy and fresh, adding great texture. The tartar sauce had a really nice dill-pickle flavor that paired perfectly with the fish and tied everything together. Great portions, well-seasoned food, and super satisfying meals that would keep me coming back again. read more

Captain Jack's location is definitely its strongest feature just a few steps from the ocean with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, the dining experience did not live up to the setting or the price point. I ordered the Jack Philly, and the menu clearly stated a choice of home fries or toast. When I asked about it, the server abruptly corrected me and said, "No, it's choice of potato." The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and uncomfortable, as if the frustration was being taken out on paying customers. Honestly, it felt tense enough that I thought the server might punch me while taking my order. The food itself was just okay. My omelet, which cost $27, came out burnt, and the "home fries" were simply potatoes. Add another $4 for iced tea, and the pricing felt very inflated for the quality and service received. To make matters worse, the actual pricing did not even reflect what was listed online. Overall, the oceanfront location is beautiful, but the poor service, inconsistent pricing, and underwhelming food quality made this a disappointing experience. Surprised, to say the least. read more

While on my bday trip, we went to several fancy smancy restaurants but our go-to restaurant that personafied the easy breezy Maui culture was Captain Jack's Island Grill. Located across the street from the first resort we stayed at, this covered outdoor gem sits beside the pool and has amazing beach water views. The food was outstanding for bar food. The BBQ ribs literally fell off the bone and were the star of the show. The crab cake sliders and the tacos were super tasty. The drinks were strong and I've heard for years how expensive Hawaii is, nope, the prices are less than Miami.. No Cut!! If you're anywhere close to Captain Jack's when visiting Maui, definitely stop in, the staff is friendly, service is great and the food is gooood!! read more

After a long, I mean a LONG, east coast to Hawaii flight, we took a quick walk over to Captain Jack's Island. OMGEEEEEEEEEE We are definitely going to get into it. But let's start off by saying on a Thursday early evening, 7ish, the restaurant was packed! Ding ding ding. That folks is a GOOD sign! Wave the GREEN flag! We were going to wait 15 minutes for a table but seats at the bar opened up, so bar it was! Weather for this outdoor restaurant is fantastic! Locals, lots of them were here. Ding, ding, ding another good sign! (Waves green flag again!) You don't have to green flag me anymore! The menu was pretty expansive and we came to this gem twice in a less than 48 hours, that's how good it was. Let's get into it! Chicken Tacos - OMGGGGGGGG listen these tacos gave Mexico a run for their money! Ask for avocado! Fish Tacos - They were good! But the chicken was better in my humble opinion. Crab cake Sliders - I'm from the DMV so kinda hard to out do a crab cake, good but not a DMV crab cake. Pull pork sliders - Great! Chicken Quesadillas- Delicious! read more

We walked in the reservation for seven people and were told it was a 30 minute wait and it was actually less. Our server was great and checked in on us several times. We ordered drinks, they came quickly and were on point. The seven of us ordered our meals which came promptly, hot and were delicious.. It's a casual but cool vibe. Everyone enjoyed their meal, I had the Sirens shrimp! Delish. Wife had Shrimp & fish and said it was the best fish she has had. We are here for a week and already made plans to return... read more

We entered a lively place, with some merch where we waited for a table. They were able to seat us in just a few minutes. This is an open air restaurant which tied the restaurant and a pool area together, giving the place that fun outdoor vibe. I had checked out their menu beforehand and ordered the Calico Jack's Burger, what turned out to be a pretty standard bacon cheese sandwich except it included thousand island dressing. That added a hint of sweet. For my side I got the coleslaw, a very large bowl that almost dwarfed the burger. But I began with a cup of their Me Hearties Clam Chowder. The first taste was salty, after that my taste adjusted and it was delicious. Not sure how much clam was included but I liked the creamy flavor. Our server did a great job and he easily handled unusual requests from our table. We had a fun time and we're happy we visited. read more

We came here for happy hour. Beware that the restaurant is right next to the pool and the kids were jumping in and splashing customers.

Everything was delicious and our server was great. read more

Had lunch here one day while staying at Sands of Kahana. The revamp of the dining room is nice. We were seated quickly and they took our order swiftly. The food here is just "ok" in my mind. I shared a Taro burger, and had a few bites of the fish and chips. The taro burger needed more cooking time in my opinion as it was slightly mushy, and there was not enough of the pineapple salsa on top. The batter on the fish and chips tasted oily, so I ate the fish and discarded the batter. The service was great, no complaints there! Perhaps they just need to fine tune things in the kitchen. read more

Really enjoyed this place during happy hour of the NFC football game. Got one of the last available tables on the sports bar side. Service was great. Very prompt and follow up was good. Had their sliders, chips and salsa, and a couple of drinks. Their prices are in line with other restaurants in the area. Fairly affordable for a resort restaurant. We also ate breakfast here. I like the variety of choices on the menu. Highly recommend this place! read more

On travel from Southern CA, wanted to go to their new location after the fire (they used to be on Lahaina's Front Street). They are now located inside Sands of Kahana Resort. It was a nice location, right next to the pool, ocean-front, the ambiance was nice. The service was nice, too. The best part was the food. I ordered their infamous fish-n-chips, my husband ordered the tacos trio. Both choices were excellent - highly recommend. Unlike mainland fish, the whole fish filet chunk (not pieces of fish glued together by batter) was nicely breaded & oh so crispy! Loved the freshness of the fish, too! The tacos tasted great, too! They have happy hour from 2-4 (ck the hours to be sure) & most drinks are 20% off. Come & give them a visit.. & hope you'll enjoy it, too, as we did! read more

Service was great! Close to fantastic! (free would have been the only other step up)! Tacos were very good but when i used the sauce and pico de gallo from the Davy Jones crab cake, it kicked this dish way up in flavor! The Macadamia Nut crusted Ohno was slightly disappointing-it could have used more flavor. We're not sure if it's just this fish..or if more spices and seasonings would have made the difference. The Ohno fish and chips were "run of the mill fish and chips". Nice atmosphere-friendly staff. read more

So glad they moved into the Sands. We stay at the Sands regularly and we were so sad when there wasn't a restaurant/bar on site, so we've been hoping a good spot would move in and we're very happy! We went a few times this week and all of our servers were excellent and friendly! All of the food was awesome and the happy hour deals were solid. The sweet Thai chili wings were amazing and the spam Moco for breakfast was delicious! Also loved the banana mac nut French toast. read more

We were on our last day in Maui and really trying to find something in a lower price range (eating out on the island definitely adds up!). They have happy hour. We'd explored most of the island earlier in the week, and since our flight wasn't until 9:35 p.m., we decided to drive down through Lahaina and look for a good spot without the high prices. We found Captain Jack's by chance. It's tucked inside a hotel, kind of hidden. You pull into the hotel driveway, and after asking the girls at the desk, they directed us down a pathway that leads right into the pool area where the restaurant is located. It is open to the public. The view is stunning ocean breeze, beautiful scenery, very peaceful. Now the food... absolutely delicious. We ordered the fish of the day so tasty and cooked perfectly. I ordered a salad with super fresh ingredients and a really good vinaigrette (no protein, just veggies, but very flavorful). I also ordered the ceviche plate, and WOW. I asked for serranos on the side because I like spicy. Hands down, absolutely amazing. We also got a ribs plate that came with potato wedges, and those wedges were delicious. We ordered two drinks, a Bloody Mary and a michelada. They weren't bad, but the tomato mix tasted more like a concentrate. I was expecting a fresh tomato base, especially since the food was so good. Still enjoyable, just not as fresh tasting as I hoped. Overall, this is definitely a place we'll return to when we come back on vacation. If you're looking for really tasty food with a gorgeous view and a lower price point compared to most places on the island, Captain Jack's is a great choice. read more

First time in Maui, last day at Maui- we decided to have dinner here at Captain Jack's after an afternoon at the beach nearby. We had the siren shrimp ($30) & philly cheesesteak. Expect lots of cheese on the philly cheesesteak, respectfully. Service was great & attentive. Pools are on both sides of the restaurant. The restaurant is kind of like a bar layout, very nice. Please help waiters with organizing the plates if you're seated at a small square table :) read more

We've been here at The Sands of Kahana for 2 weeks now. I highly recommend Captain Jacks! We've had a minimum of a dozen meals, breakfast to dinner. The food is outstanding and the service is impeccable. It is usually quite crowded at happy hour and dinner time but there is no fall off in service and quality. For a mostly open-air venue, it feels comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommend the fish and chips, fresh and flavorful. The drinks are very well made and generous. We will continue to come back as long as we can come back to Maui! (Hopefully, every 2 years.) read more

My last review was for eating in the restaurant, this one is for takeout. Very easy to book online, but not to phone in. Food was ready quickly when we went to pick up which is a bonus if you are hungry. We ordered: Fish Sandwich and fries - tasty, filling and the super chunky fat fries were delicious. It is a decent sized sandwich and the fish was cooked well Southwest Salad with chilled shrimp - a big sized salad full of crunchy lettuce, black beans, corn, avocado, onion, and baby toms with tortilla strips. I found the chipotle ranch a little tame, but that is personal taste, so I added some chipotle hot sauce, mixed it up and it was perfect. There were 4 large chilled shrimp on top, of you can order hot sauteed shrimp. A little expensive but worth it as they are definitely 2 bites if not 3 to eat The to go food was well packaged, came with tomato sauce packets and compostable cutlery and containers, was ready on time and was competitively priced. Not gourmet but definitely a good dinner to go. Wish they would bring back their garlic mashed potatoes! read more

Captain Jack's is back in Kahana! Stumbled upon the reopened restaurant for a late lunch/happy hour. Eric was our server and he was amazing! Very attentive but not overly so, checked in and made sure we were happy and had all we needed. Had the Caesar salad with fish. Not only was it fresh and delicious but the fish was generously portioned. Also had the Mai tai (regular, not happy hour) and one was perfect! Got to enjoy the sunshine and even see a few whales. So great to have Captain Jack's back!! read more

Great food, great value for HI. The Ono was superb. Ambiance very casual and fun. Excellent staff and service.

Jim Came here on 2/14/26. Food was very good. ENTIRE staff must be taught to not smile or be attentive. Did not get what i ordered. Brought a half cup of coffee and was told they would bring more when ready. (Never happened.) Full of grounds and the waiter NEVER once returned to even check on us while waiting other tables all around us. Had to request silverware after food served. when leaving, as we walked past the hostess (just leaning on one elbow staring off somewhere) did not even acknowledge us as we walked past within 2 feet of her. still not even a smile or glance. Worst service we had all week anywhere. Did not complain to management as whats the use. If they cant see this happening, they're condoning it. read more

If you want to get hammered and you completely don't care what you eat once you're dunk, come visit Captain Jack's Island Grill. I don't consume alcohol but I wanted to eat something other than fish...so, chicken wings came to mind. I ordered Jack's chicken wings, they look big, but that's only because 70 percent of it is fried batter; I found that out once I started peeling the wings, after noticing the size of the wing and realizing there wasn't much flesh on it. In short, this place is a tourist trap. read more
