A must do on your breakfast list. The view is gorgeous. Loved the open air seating option. It is truly paradise". The service was excellent and the food delicious. Personal recommendation is the fruit and boat and the hubby loved the traditional eggs and sausage breakfast. read more

Delicious food. I had the fish and chips but my mom had the catch of the day with a coconut chili sauce which blew me away. Cute little beach side location read more

Super cute, breezy, and fun restaurant right on the beach. The view at sunset is stunning. I loved their mai tai. The mahi fish tacos were delicious and just the right size. Prices are high but in line for this area. I wish they had other fish options. The ahi tuna poke was almost all guac and no ahi. The fish is fresh but not enough for the price point. Customer service is top notch and friendly. Note: This was for a Sunday night. Went back on Monday night and sat at the bar -- don't do it. Sticky counter, one bartender who was overloaded and unhappy, and nachos didn't have nearly enough cheese. read more

The food was great as was the service. Unfortunately a drunk female patron at the bar ruined the atmosphere for us- a family of 8 with two young children. She was loud and used foul language. We hurried through our dessert to leave. When my husband asked her to watch her language, she became very belligerent. The bartender told us to not worry because they were closing soon. Well, gee. Thanks. Evidently her business is more valuable than ours. We'll not be going back. read more

Awesome service. Beautiful view. Amazing short ribs loco moco. Excellent dessert options.

Decent spot right on the beach. Food and service are average, nothing fantastic but good enough. Priced about the same as other local spots which was a pleasant surprise, I thought it would've been much more being part of a resort. read more

Can't go wrong with the views! Overall, the food and service are good. Can you find better? Yes! However, this is a great little place if you're staying on property with a nice variety of food! read more

We loved our recent breakfast so decided to go for dinner. Again, excellent service. Decent sized pours of wine by the glass. It was a Saturday so prime rib was available. It was very good as were the fries on the side. My guest ordered the catch of the day which was Walu (butterfish). She loved the preparation and side of mixed vegetables. Only problem was the very small portion size of the fish. It was only 2 ounces and for $45 that's is ridiculous. We complained to our server and she agreed it was an unusually small amount of fish. read more

Excellent food and friendly service. It took a while, but they were busy. Our server was very attentive. I had kahluah pork huevos rancheroes and the hubby had an omelet with Portuguese sausage. Pog mimosas were wonderful. Beautiful view and whales made an appearance. read more

Had dinner at the quaint and cozy Castaway Café under the new management of the Cohn group! We met Carmela the chef and she was just fantastic! Her fresh Ono with the coconut sweet chili buerre blanc was outstanding as were the fish tacos and ribeye steak! The new manager, Alex was extremely knowledgeable and kind, and steered us towards some very yummy wines. He was as hospitable as they come! Timmy, our waitress, was so sweet and was there for us at the perfect times when we needed her :-) We had an amazing experience and can't wait to go back! read more

The food was good, my husband like the gravey on the loco moco. I asked them to make my loco moco with pork and they charged me a few dollars more. The menu was okay nothing that really caught my eye to try. read more

Easy walk from our condo to this wonderful cafe. Fast and friendly service accompanied by a nice view.

Great food with an even better view! This cafe is perfect for brunch by the beach. The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating, though outdoor is only in the shade until about noon or so. The view is amazing though, it is probably the closest to the beach we got at a sit-down restaurant. The staff was also very friendly. The food was pretty good as well. Our favorite was the huevos rancheros - the kalua pork was delicious with the crispy tortilla. It was a little too black bean forward, but still was delicious! The Paradise pancakes were also excellent - the pancakes were super fluffy and came with coconut cream that really complemented the pineapple and macadamia nut topping. Everything we ordered was pretty good! read more

We liked this place a lot. Arrived right when it opened at 8am, got a table with an ocean view and shade! The service was fantastic and friendly. I had the kalua pork huevos rancheros and it was delicious. Would come back to try the other Hawaiian breakfast options that all sound tasty! read more

We must love this place!! Only restaurant we've gone to twice on this trip!! It's got an amazing location. The restaurant feels like a true secluded beach shack and cafe. Loved the whole vibe.

Great prices too. Check it out!! read more

Just left Castaways and we enjoyed our breakfast. Had to wait until 9 am to get in, but we're seated on the patio to enjoy the view and delicious Bloody Mary's. I had the eggs Benedict with sausage and my husband had the huevos rancheros. He said it had a lot of flavor. My dish was good also, just wished the potatoes were warmer. All in all we enjoyed our meals and will be back! read more

The view, the service, the food, the drinks, were all top notch. We can't wait to come back!!

Great environment; food was delicious and reasonably priced. Only downside was figuring out the parking.

Had lunch here and enjoyed it for sure. Food was very good, drinks were good. Giving the great location and view of crashing waves, it felt like more bang for the buck compared to most other local options.... Assuming you can get a table near the ocean. read more

We both had the jalapeño burger and it was excellent! The lava flow also hit the spot. We went for sunset and got right in on a Monday night - had a great view! Our waiter was pleasant and gave good recommendations. We'd definitely go back! read more

Came to the bar and ordered a royal grilled angus and it was delicious, just the right size (the steak looked huge too). They were somewhat busy on a saturday evening but my food came out pretty quick timing. What a great view to eat before the sun sets too. read more

What a beautiful hidden gem! Greatest with a smile! The seating is right on the water! Sitting and watching the sail boats go by against the cascading beautiful blue skies and ocean! The most delicious crab cake Benedict and loco moco! You'll leave so happy! read more

Great price and service. The mac nut mahi was incredible. Very good ambiance. Laidback place in a beautiful setting.

Great food, great prices, great view, and great service. We came here with 8 people and my party came a bit later and they saved our seats which was so nice. Our server Jaime P was very kind but also worked quickly. The food was delicious. We ordered the loco micro, huevos rancheros and a few things for the kids. Coffee was great. Orange juice wasn't my favorite but not bad either. read more

Went to Castaway Cafe for a birthday dinner and had an excellent time. I searched for places near Kaanapali that served braised short rib and this place came up. The food was excellent and service spectacular. Concetta even sang me Hapoy Birthday! Family loved the tofee chocolate mousse pie brought out with a birthday candle. Great views of the ocean from this place and there is even cornhole/shuffleboard to play outside. Highly recommend!!!! read more

We loved this place so much we ate here 3 times during our vacation. I had the heuvos rancheros twice and it was delicious! The perfect amount of Kahula pork, crunch and spices. It truly is my perfect breakfast fast. My honey ordered the Mac nut coconut banana pancakes with three shots of haiupia syrup. He was in heaven! This gem of a restaurant is tucked away and right on the beach. Relaxing and comfortable. Our waitresses Rickee was so wonderful and accommodating! She went out of her way to make our last breakfast in paradise happen. Thank you Rickee! Beautiful woman! Be generous with your tips! read more

Affordable oceanfront restaurant, kid friendly, good food, friendly service. We went several times in our week staying nearby.

We had a positive experience here! The view and vibe at this place is incredible, the food was pretty good, and the service wasn't bad at all. We enjoyed everything we got, my only complaint is that the fish tacos were way over packed (making it hard to eat), and were surprisingly flavorless. read more

Food was great and the view is so beautiful. Staff were awesome. Will definitely go back there again.

The location is the only redeeming feature. Beautifully situated-on the water and close proximity to all the hotels...but they were seriously understaffed and the food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately the pancakes tasted like they came out of a box and the Benedict's also lacked flavor and didn't taste fresh. read more

Have loved the spot for years. I always have great service here, but Noah's service yesterday exceeded the high standard I've come to expect from the Castaway Cafe team. Thank you, Noah! The food is delicious and the ambience is fun -- love the tabletop decorations here. Was able to watch whale activity while enjoying my brunch. read more

I think that this place would benefit greatly from better use of spices. The location/views are spectacular, but the food was pretty blah. Not at all inedible! Like, if you want a decently priced breakfast/brunch this place will do in a pinch. But really not a whole lot of flavor. Even in the Kalua pork! Which was super disappointing. Update: Chef Niko reached out to me and was super apologetic about the lack of seasoning. I hope that it was just a fluke that our meals were missing pizazz. I hope to try out the food again when we're back in 6 months or so. read more

We had reservations at the Aston Maui Kaanapali Inn next door to the Castaway Cafe. We booked that location because the Castaway Cafe was close. We arrived Tues August 8th 2023 and we were completely unaware of Hurricane Dora. We spent the next four days driving around the area loking for food banks & sleeping in our car & in other resorts. The ASTON had zero food. We askec the manager to please call the Castraway Cafe to serve any food that they had. The Aston hotel mgr. said that the Castaway was indepently owned by a 3rd party & he had no control over them. The Castaway Cafe never opened. Another chicken place opened but only took cash & the line was a 1/2 block long, so we drove around for 4'days trying to find food & water. Castaways never opened. read more
