    Frankly this hot dog stand is a good spot to get a good dog. 3 1/2 Stars because You'll get Great Service with an average but good tasting hot dog. Bonus is that if you like onions, you're in MAUI! Home of da BEST ONIONS in da Pacific and as far as my tastes, da BEST in da USA! Would love give another star but the bun and the condiments need to be elevated CHICAGO STYLE to reach that coveted four-five Star level. All in all better than Burger King option at the Airport. Frankly a darn good dog for those of you like me with a hunger on the go!

    Looks like a Food Truck in the middle of the airport! This little snack bar is located inside of the Maui Airport. It's actually in the open air section between Gates - not at a Gate - so there's no air conditioning. Just walk up to the window, place your order, and go around to the front of the truck for condiments. Instead of a plain hot dog, I got the Maui Dog (beef hotdog). For 10 cents more, the Maui Dog has a fresh, sweet Maui Onion topping - yum! The slight crisp gives a plain hot dog some character without a bite! The bun was nice and soft as if it had been steamed a bit. (The other hot dog choices were beef, Polish, or Portuguese sausage.) If you have time and need a quick snack, you may want a hot dog. Remember that it's "gourmet" and that's why the starting price is $5.79... Mahalo to aunty for the service with a smile!

    Saimin and hotdog with Maui onions. Around $15 total with tax.

    This place is after TSA--so if you have a layover at OGG, you don't have to exit security to go here. It's near Gate 18. This place is definitely on the fast food side, but it's fun to have saimin ($7) at the airport instead of Burger King.

    Plate Lunch

    In the airport past security, all I wanted one last taste of the island, but all that surrounded me was fro-yo and Burger King. Because of Sarah Vowell's book on Hawaii, I'd been wanting sentimentally to get me some plate lunch, but mostly we snacked and ate in, or didn't get out and about until after lunch. Thanks to Frankly Gourmet I finally got the plate lunch I'd been wanting all my trip long. Tucked awkwardly around the corner there it lies, a weird food cart inside the terminal. Plate lunch special was breaded chicken with gravy, plus a scoop of macaroni salad and a scoop of sticky white rice. It stuck to my ribs through a 12-hour commute, and it was just what I needed. Frankly Gourmet (which, let's be completely honest, is more Vaguely Gourmet, but no bother) was the only place in the airport that made me feel like I was still in Hawaii, when I really wasn't ready to leave. So for that: Mahalo!

    Three hot dogs, two drinks, at $9 per person for three of us. Definitely not worth the price. Food was okay, the hot dogs barely warm... the only creative thing about my Hale Dog was the addition of diced pineapple, which tasted fine with the mustard and dog. Just not something I would order again. Sorry.

    This place is pretty standard for an airport. High prices, ok quality. We got 2 hotdogs, one Maui union and one Hana hula dog. The onion one has tons of onion and the pineapple one had a good amount of pineapple. Overall I would give this place 3.5 stars. Not the best dogs ever but good enough for my 3 hr flight delay thanks to hawaiian air. Hit the spot and I don't feel sick yet. If I do when I land I will update this review. Aloha.

    Special of the day: meatballs with gravy, mac potato salad and rice for $9.99

    This take-out food establishment is located next to Gates 17+ You cannot miss it--its a big blue food truck, smack dab flushed to the side of the entrance of the inter-island terminal. I've eaten here a few times...I don't know why, since its ridiculously expensive (i.e. basic standard-sized hotdog with basic garnishes) is upwards of $4.xx. They do have a variety of hot dogs though that offer island fruit relishes and the like, which is more expensive (I think the most expensive dog I saw on the menu was $7-9) They do have plate lunch specials @ $9.99, which is probably the best bang for your buck. Some other local favorites they have are saimin bowls (ramen) and nachos. Some pre-made sandwiches, salads, yogurt and fruits fill a cold case to the left, and to the right holds drinks (i.e. Honest tea is $5.xx! You have been warned!) Atop the counter they also have small snacks, such as cookies, peanuts and chips. I'm not sure if they take plastic, but cash is always good. The workers are pretty friendly and there are some tables/stools for seating.

    Chose to get a basic hot dog because I love slathering my dog in mustard and relish. It's a quick bite to grab while you're waiting for your flight but it wasn't anything extraordinary for $5.51. It's airport prices and what's to be expected which isn't much. Next time I'll probably try one of their fancy dogs to see if it's worth going out of my childhood comfort zone.

    Frankly Gourmet, the "food truck" inside the terminal
    Keith Y.

    Decent enough middle of the road food for airport dash and board. Right around the corner from Sammy's and built to look like a food truck inside the terminal, the menu features some Hawaiian style hot dogs, sandwiches and saimin bowls. Overall nothing over exciting but good enough to fill your stomach for the ride back to the mainland...

    No more onions, pineapple or soup. Just plain hot dog or chili dog. Nothing special.

    Bad, mushy hot dogs. No snap. A little like low quality Bologna. Skip this one. Opt for purchased snacks on flight.

    Five years ago I was so impressed that when I came back, I had it on my must eat list!…read more I had intended to eat here much earlier during the trip, but the Kona storm had different plans. So it was again the meal right before going to the airport to go home and the gate was closed, but I saw people eating inside so I did what I would not do In DC, which is get out of the car and just ask if it was open. I wouldn't do that In DC because it's just a little scary here. And a nice people called out to Ola the chef and he opened the gate for us!! This time it felt extra special. It was like eating with a dear old friend and come to find out Ola was living in Columbia Heights just before the pandemic. (We are frequenters of Columbia heights!) We really felt spoiled and cared for here. He whipped up an amazing bed of salad for both of us. The greens here in Maui are just so fresh and the flavors are so good and of course we topped it with mahi mahi either grilled or taco style. He also gave us coconut water and a smoothie and fresh papaya which I told him I only eat on the island, which is true because it doesn't taste as good anywhere else that I know. What a way to end a trip with a flood and power outage in the middle of it. When troubles come later at home, which they will, I will think back fondly and give things for the experience we had here. And there was so much food that I was blessed to take the food on the airplane which served as my main meal (bc I can't eat any of the things that is on the plane sadly with my limitations. Delta loves to serve things with lots of cheese or dairy.) When it's not too windy, sitting outside under the tent is a lovely way to enjoy. I hope I can be back in less than five years to enjoy Ola's food at Ula Ula again. I don't know why they don't have more reviews but after we came in, was glad to see more people come in through. I really think so highly a food trucks in general in Maui, but this is definitely a top winner and a true gem!!

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.
