If you're looking for a nostalgic, comfort food spot with all the local classics like burgers, chow fun, plate lunches and shakes, you gotta hit up Cupies Maui! Cupies always holds a special place in my heart. I've been coming here since I was little. Whenever my dad and my sister and I were in town growing up in the 90's, it was either stopping here at Cupies or the Dairy Queen nearby (which has since closed) for a yummy treat! They used to have a couple Arcade Games (with Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat) and had every childhood favorite: the tower of coin operated prizes! Of course the FOOD was what got us coming back for more! I'd always get a Bento with hot dog, spam, chicken and rice OR the BEST hamburger and crinkle fries with Mustard/Ketchup container! The hamburger and fries combo is still my usual go to. Today I went for the special drink, a refreshing Calamansi Slushie. Calamansi is a little Filipino lime. Perfect balance of tart and sweet for this hot Maui day. I decided to get the Mini Hamburger Steak today. Plate lunches come with the option of Macaroni Salad or Corn for the side so I opted for the buttery Corn. I added Sautéed Onion and Mushroom to the Hamburger Steak and it was "broke da mouth" Ono! The Mini Plate comes with 2 hamburger patties so guessing a Regular Plate is 3-4 patties. Make sure you treat yourself to a delicious Sweet Crepe! My favorite is the Banana and we always add Nutella. If you're not feeling a Crepe, you need to get a delicious Shake! The flavors are endless: Ube, Pandan, Fruity Pebbles, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Dine in outside or call in an order and park on the far side wall and someone will bring out your order. I'll usually call in to hear their Specials of the Day. read more

Cupies Breaded Teri mini plate for the win! I love that I can get sides other than Mac salad & their green salad is super fresh. The only junk thing is it's pretty expensive for a plate lunch, but the mini plate filled me up. My nephew loved the strawberry banana Nutella crepe as well! read more

Do not come here for nostalgia. The food is definitely not the same. Ordered the breaded teriyaki, per usual. It didn't hit at all. If you're looking for something close to the old school version, go elsewhere. BUT! They have the best bread pudding I've had in awhile! Served hot with syrup it's fantastic! This is something worth going here for! Skip the food, get dessert and you'll be good! read more

First time on Maui and first time here and I got to say it's a pretty nice place they got some water shower thing outside so if it's hot you can cool down. Anyways back to the food that you all want to know about. So I had the mini breaded teriyaki plate and a peanut butter smoothie and I got to say that smoothie was sooo good and the breaded teriyaki was also good. Definitely got to come back here to try more of the foods and drinks. read more

Cupies Maui - Mini breaded teriyaki plate and a peanut butter smoothie - Fast Food Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Cupies one of my go to places every once a while when I want a nice treat. Workers are nice and the service is pretty quick in terms of ordering. The area itself can get kinda crowded since it doesn't have the biggest parking space. The tables are outside not in a closed space so it can get hot so I prefer to just do take out most of the time. For me my favorites would be their milkshakes and the badua crepes which are so good. I also really enjoy their chow fun, they got lots of options for local food and breakfast. read more

Lots of choices to be had, not just burger and fries. Service was exceptional and most helpful. Ambiance is a drive inn but very clean and spacious. Returning, for sure! read more

Too much MSG in the food. Chief need to check the groceries bought that contains manufactured MSG, monosodium glutamate. aka 'Ajinomoto'. Comes in highly concentrated form. Compared to natural occurring veggies & fruits. Caused head aches, dry mouths, gas, diarrhea, cramps, in men, inflamed prostrate gland, numbness in feet & legs. Or all of the above. May lead to early signs of dementia. Get rid of MSG! read more

This place looks like it's mostly visited by locals as opposed to tourists. Their soft serve is generously served and their banana bread was warm. I'd love to return and try their burgers or other items since everything people were eating looked and smelled good :)) read more

Cupies Maui has been the place to go since I was a kid. They used to be known for bentos for any sport game for after the game snacks! Now it's a little different, as it changed owners a few times since then. My go to is the cheeseburger and fries. Just something simple! And their milk shakes are so good too! Making me hungry thinking about it. Of course if you want to try something different and probably not found every where would be the breaded teriyaki! A must try from Maui! Order online for pickup. Super easy and convenient. Park on the side if you ordered ahead! They'll come to you. read more

Big menus filled with lots of variety, I went with the bacon cheeseburger and ube milkshake. Burger was savory & delicious, milkshake was creamy & full of flavor. What a great prices, yo pay for what you get! read more

I love coming here . The staff is really friendly and the food is very good . Also , Waiting for the lau lau special to pop up sometimes .

Another nostalgic gem to check out while in Wailuku. We were looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat before heading to the airport, and a friend recommended this place - the breaded teriyaki was specifically mentioned as a must-try. So we got a few breaded teriyaki sandwiches, fish n chips, and fried noodles. The son absolutely loved the fried noodles - ate the whole plate before I had a chance to sample some of it! The breaded teriyaki sandwich was good, but I wouldn't consider it one of the best things to eat on Maui. They weren't serving slushies , which was a big disappointment because I've heard a lot of great things about their slushies! read more

This is a great to go meal. A lot locals eat here. There are so many things on their menu but apparently their signature item is the breaded teriyaki. It's pretty tasty! read more

No matter how many times it may change owners, the taste of someone who's born and raised on Maui can appreciate the simple home cooking of Cupies, and how it was one of the businesses that really supported its Maui community during the pandemic. I recommend any of their shakes/crepes, and also the breaded teriyaki plate - Miguel Morales Photography read more

This is a whole in the wall gem. If you're looking for some good shakes. This is the place to go. Fruity Pebble is one of there top items. The Breaded Teri Beef Sandwich is something to try. I would recommend getting some fries with this if you want a complete meal. I will be back to try more items and post more reviews. read more

Always come for the breaded teriyaki when I am on Maui. Service was good. Parking is always limited.

So I have eaten here thru pretty much all the different owners. The newest owners I feel are doing a good job of updating a Maui classic dining spot. They have tried to keep as many of the old taste and favorites as well as updating the menu with some new spins. The service is usually very good they are quick and friendly and the food quality has been good. I have had several shakes recently. They are a good value and their ice cream machine almost always works ! Plus eating here I know I'm supporting local. I really like the specials but it's also nice to know they have some of my favorites like the breaded teriyaki or the chili and rice. Or the chow fun. Oh and can't forget the fries with the mustard mayo and ketchup. read more

The food was so delicious, this is definitely a locals spot. We loved the burgers, chicken katsu and Thai shrimp were the best we've had!! Definitely stop here on your way to or from the airport. read more

We returned to this old favorite because it is usually a consistently good local restaurant. Unfortunately, this time wasn't the best experience. After ordering a meal of 3 crepes , a loco moco and 2 ube shakes we were made to wait 30 minutes for our food to be done. Or rather, our pagerto go off to notify us it was ready. After watching other people get their orders, my husband had to go back to the counter to ask about our food. He was told the moco was done, but they were still waiting on the crepes. Um, what? 5 minutes later, the pager goes off and we receive a warmish moco and completely cold crepes and then had to wait another 5 minutes for the shakes. I don't know if this was a new crew, but improvement is greatly needed. read more

I love everything I have ever eaten from Cupies the craziest best thing I have had was a Honeydew Melon slushy. It was almost too good! My regular order is a cheeseburger deluxe with fries and it never disappoints. The burger has a little bit of a smoky taste, the bun is soft and the fries are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The people who work there make it super special, they are just wonderful Cupies is so much better than the chain burgers, eat and shop local kine read more

I shared some Cupies desserts with my coworkers today & everyone loved it! We're gonna cater from them next time we have a party read more

Love Cupies. Saimin overloaded is my go-to, enough food for at least two meals. The milkshakes are kinda meh, really light flavour, the slushies are better in my opinion. Try the li hing mui, it almost has a creamy flavour. Slushie umami! We found out about Cupies a few years back by accident (late flight and hotel arrival, even McD's was closed), and it's been a go-to ever since. Pre-COVID it had a great feel, lots of families dining together, great selection of all kinds of condiments to help oneself to. Post-COVID that's all gone but it's great to see the walk-up window and seating area open again. Brought my family this go-around, 4 kids, 5 adults, lots of picky eaters. Everyone was happy with their food, and especially the price. It's a great deal on Maui. Mahalo to all the Maui Yelpers without whom I never would have even heard of Cupies. read more

My family and I had just gotten off a long flight from the mainland and were craving something quick and delicious! Cupies did not disappoint! It is conveniently located close to the airport so this was the perfect place to quickly grab some thing and head to our hotel. When we first got here, the place was pretty empty but once we left, it was packed! Pro tip: order on the phone before you come so that you don't have to wait too long for your delicious Hawaiian barbecue plate. The photos online don't do this place justice. You need to order to believe it! Cupies Maui is the epitome of a whole wall place that looks kind of like a drive-through fast food spot, but is actually delicious. We ordered the teriyaki beef plate, the loco moco and a pog slushy. All of these dishes really hit the spot especially the teriyaki beef plate! It was flavorful and smoky with some delicious, macaroni salad, so good! Also, the pog slushy was so refreshing, especially after our long flight. Definitely getting that again! read more

Cupies is my favorite place to go when I need something fast cheap and filling. My favorite shake is the Lowell shake which is ube with fruity pebbles. Fries are crinkle cut and crispy with that special sauce. Every food item is delicious so you will not be disappointed. read more

My bf had to fly over to Maui for work (we live on Oahu) and he was able to sample the famous "Dry Mein" and Cupies Breaded Teriyaki. He was so blown away on how good everything was. There's nothing like it anywhere but on Maui. The people were super nice too. Support local read more

First time here since the new owners took over. The breaded teriyaki has improved. It's somewhat soft and not too sweet. Grilled cheese and French fries were good. Chow Fun is very different, like there's some kind of spice to it which was weird. I still do phone order but there's quite a wait time while in your car which I thought was odd. I'd come back to try more. read more

Ordered the Badua's loco moco, when I got home I open my plate to what looked like scrambled eggs on top. It honestly looked and tasted like instant eggs not real eggs. The egg barely had any taste and had the texture more of a crepe. Had never been served a loco moco with eggs other than over easy before. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Turkey dinner is a winner! Today's special was roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy and cranberry sauce... AND a small slice of pumpkin pie. How can you beat that for $14 plus change? The mango milkshake is amazing - creamy and thick. The burgers are great, just like homemade, but without the hassle. Fries are the big fat crinkle kind and come with a little cup of half/half ketchup and mustard mayo... a little yin/yang bonus. The chow fun is also a winner. Something I really appreciate is that you can get a mini plate or version of most things, even the milkshakes. Not many places do this anymore. Service is great. Always friendly and prompt. Call in ahead and save time. read more

My favorite hamburger steak!! I wish Cupies was on Oahu! Kids loved the banana bread too.

First opened in 1964 by the Yoshizawa family, this Classic establishment is now owned and operated by Baduas Family. You know their family from decades of crepes and cuisine at the QKC. This legacy now continues with all of the favorite plates you used to love, with more additions to the menu that we all love from the Badua family. Super convenient drive in - just like they used to do - or you can call in an order and NOW they offer convenient online ordering. Meals are prepared to order, so the wait is really just to make sure yours is done right. Don't forget to add on a shake or slush. It's not a real drive in experience without a cool treat! read more

Bruads is a catering restaurant family that's been here for many years. They have now taken over cupies expanded the menu in the beyond the hamburgers, chili and french fries and shakes that Cupies has been famous for their outdoor tables and it's a relaxed old style MAUI place I've been having chili lately which is very good, but I've enjoyed their Asian food before they also make very good crêpes. This is a place worth checking out. read more

Always driven by and never tried. That was a big mistake. This place is really good for take out local style food. I asked to skip the rice and was given a very nice green salad with papaya dressing with my garlic chicken that was moist and tasty. Will come back to try their crepes. read more

The breaded teriyaki was . I will try anything where the green shirt bruddahs are standing in line at lunch. Yum!!!!!!!! read more
