It was our first time in Destin and honestly, we were a little disappointed by most of the food choices we'd made up to that point. We decided to venture out beyond Destin and do some exploring -- and that's when we stumbled on Maui Bus Stop in Fort Walton Beach. So glad we did. The loco moco was great, the teriyaki steak was smoky, well seasoned, and tender, exactly what you want. The mac salad side was creamy and just a little sweet, a perfect complement. And the prices? $10 for a loco moco is absolutely insane in the best way possible. Worth the short drive from Destin. If you're staying in the area and tired of the tourist trap spots, do yourself a favor and find this place. A total hidden gem. read more

Tried Maui Bus Stop and honestly was very disappointed. The small plate came with 2 scoop of rice and steak, but the steak was super dry, burnt, and tough. Spam musubi falling apart quick when my girl picked it up (it should stay together until you bite that sh*) The smothered sauce tasted like mostly soy sauce mixed with cornstarch, and too sweet.. poured over the meat. The rice and musubi were bland and not seasoned at all, and the overall taste was very plain. The BBQ/teriyaki chicken was also burnt and cold when served. To make it worse, the portion size was VERY small for over $12. The quality, portion size, and taste did not match the charge at all. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it wasn't what I thought. read more

This spot sounded so fun, but it was just okay.The staff was super nice and helped explain the menu since it was my first time. The menu was simple, but worked for me. I tried the beef and chicken, rice and mac salad. Honestly, it was just okay. The sauce on the meat genuinely seemed like it was just something bottled and instead of house made. The meat seemed like it also wasn't fresh made and probably just frozen and reheated. The sauce on the rice was my fav part. And again, this wasn't bad but just okay. read more

so so good! everything we ordered tasted great and that macaroni salad is to die for. whatever sauce they put on top of the rice is really good and gives the rice alot of flavor, i think it's teriyaki. loco moco was a lot of food and that egg on top was chefs kiss. spam musubi could do with less rice but overall i will be back again! read more

Tasty Hawaiian food. Simple and to the point. I enjoyed how the kalua pork tasted. I wasn't super "wow-ed" about anything here, but it wasn't bad at all. I had a decent lunch! I'm also not a huge Hawaiian food fanatic, so I could be biased about that. Not a lot of seating inside, but lots outside. It wasn't very busy when we went. I think it's definitely worth a try! read more

Just as I mentioned in my first review several years ago... Maui Bus Stop is as close to a trip to the islands as you can get (food wise) without actually traveling 4327 miles to the real deal. Selections here are slightly limited if you're looking for a full service restaurant or lunch stop. However, the foods are absolutely spot on for plate lunch offerings in both taste and style. Over these years, I've tried all of the things that are offered here. The meats have remained consistent, although I found today's Kalua pig to be a little salty. The Shoyu chicken was tender and very flavorful; it also had a nice char and a smoky flavor that I found to be pleasant and authentic. The Loco Moco is always a very filling, treat with brown gravy, adding its distinct savory accent to it all. I thought today's sides were a little skimpier than the past - perhaps 1/3 cup instead of a half cup+ each? OR...Maybe my appetite was bigger than I realized and my estimates were off. Regardless, good sides, all around! Very prompt and polite service with a smile takes me home to the islands each time I visit. read more

Maui Bus Stop - Da'bus ... three meats - Hawaiian Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Maui Bus Stop in Fort Walton Beach is a delicious and super quick-service Casual Hawaiian Restaurant. Their menu is simple and verrry good! I love their flavors. I usually do not ever like teriyaki flavored proteins, but this one HITS DIFFERENT! The chicken is marinated beautifully and so juicy. I especially love it when the extra glaze pours into the rice and leafy greens. Dude, so freaking good. They have great portion sizes at an affordable price point!!! I loved it so much that I went back the next day! Something worth noting is HOW FAST THEY ARE! I got my order like in 2 minutes, no joke. I went at a busy time and it was that fast! This is a great place to bring family, friends, and large parties. They have a large variety of seating and a covered outdoor patio. Big fan of here Mahalo! read more

Maui Bus Stop - Pork, steak, and chicken with teriyaki rice - Hawaiian Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Maui Bus Stop is a definitely a go to place when we want take outs. I would get their regular and my husband would get da'bus. I like to get chicken and steak or sometime switch the steak for the pork. My husband would do chicken and steak. The service was not too bad. We usually just DoorDash, especially when our baby was a newborn. It's a cute spot to hang out and eat, but we just take it home or DoorDash since we have the little one. read more

Was surprised to see a true Hawaiian Plate Lunch offering in my old hometown of FWB. Having had L&L Barbecue and several other Plate Lunch offerings on the Big Island and Oahu, I was pleasantly surprised to taste authenic Hawaiian cuisine! Prices were fair and portions were healthy, O ordered the "Da Bus" which came with a choice of 3 meats (Teriyaki steak, Shayu Chicken, and Kalua pig ) and 3 scoops of white rice and 1 side (Mac Salad was my choice of course)! read more

Maui Bus Stop - Da bus is Da bomb - Hawaiian Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Very casual on a high-traffic triangle, but solid offerings of goodnpig and chicken. They put some teriyaki over the rice, but I wish I'd asked dor a side of sauce to dip my huli-huli in. Mac salad was solid. Will go again, for sure. read more

I arrived to the restaurant right when they opened. Place was clean and service was fast and friendly. Food was hot and very tasty if you don't mind sweet. I ordered the regular with the chicken and beef, and macaroni salad as my side. Both the chicken and the beef were very tender. Rice was good too. Definitely a good bang for your buck. I even have leftovers for dinner. Just wish they didn't use styrofoam containers. Other than that I have no complaints. read more

Maui Bus Stop - Regular plate with two meats - chicken and beef, two scoops of rice, and macaroni salad. - Hawaiian Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

After another disappointing visit at Pounder's, I thought I'd see what other Hawaiian Cuisine northern Florida has to offer. Maui Bus Stop appeared on my map while visiting Fort Walton Beach. It's only about 5 minutes from the Pier. The prices were fantastic! Our food came out fast and fresh, and we seated ourselves outside to enjoy the rest of the evening. My party of 4 loved the food, even in comparison to the (over)hyped Pounder's Grill our coworkers frequent. I decided to swap out the rice for cabbage on my 2 meat plate. I was expecting the usual shredded cabbage, but the whole leaves were a nice surprise. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The kalua pig though, was my favorite. One of my gripes about the hawaiian restaurants out here is that they don't have self serve sauce, but my meal didn't need any. Everything was moist and well seasoned. The spam musubi was interesting. I'm not used to the sauce being on top of the spam, usually it's between the spam and rice. It was decent though, and the rice was fresh and soft. I'm not a fan of their macaroni salad. I bought some just to try, but it tastes like slaw dressing. I like my macaroni salad made with mayo, preferably kewpie. No biggie though. I know others probably prefer this. The meats alone will be a craving for a while. Very good. read more

After a long flight from Virginia myself and the family decided to try this local jaunt since having traveled to Hawaii for authentic food we decided to see how close they could come, and they made a valid case for authenticity . But the Mac salad was more sweet lacking tanginess, the flavor on the cabbage was ok but it is traditionally shredding on the bottom the steak needed the garlic butter flavor present and the teriyaki chicken was cooked well but there is a marination process which we could tell immediately but all in all it was ok. Close actually very close and a nice departure from the normal chain restaurants good job team! read more

Great food and a refreshingly resumable price. As long as I've lived in this area, I've never heard of these people and found them on yelp with great reviews. I met a friend there for lunch and we both were real happy. He had the loco Moko and I had the chicken and the pork with cabbage. I'll be back. read more

Maui bus stop is hands down our FAVORITE place to eat in the Fort Walton/Destin area. We were here 3 years ago and I've been craving this weekly since! Food not only is 100/10 for taste and portion, but you can't beat the price! The menu is simple but the flavors don't ever disappoint! The walk up counter service makes it easy, convenient and quick! Food comes out pretty fast and is always hot and fresh! The vibe inside and out is so chill, just like eating at your favorite local place in Hawaii. Maui bus stop is our family favorite while traveling and wish we had one in Nashville! read more

Was curious about this place as it really was a bus station prior to becoming this restaurant. Thought it was cool that they used what the location used to be to put a spin on their brand. So I ordered the Regular Plate and chose chicken and teriyaki steak as the two meats. The only only other option I had was an additional side, which I chose macaroni salad. The chicken was tender, flavored well with a glazed sauce. It was a bit on the luke warm side. The teriyaki steak was tender, and cover with ample amount of sauce on it as well. The macaroni salad tasted as expected. Noodles were tender, it had a slightly sweet taste to it. I think every thing was good and give them another shot. Probably try something different. I like the restaurant that have a Hawaiian based menu. With there only being a few options in the area, its very slim competition or differences on deciding which one to go to. read more
