We arrived at Moose's about 12:30 pm November 26,2021. After showing our QR code with ID we were allowed to sit inside. Our server Hayden was awesome! Brought us water to give us some time to look at the menu. By the time he was back with our waters, we were ready to order. Beer, Lava flow, Nachos to share. He was busy, and kept up on all his tables very professionally and friendly. Really enjoyed our lunch and service. We will be returning soon! Our go to place to eat!!!

Bacon & mushrooms burger

This is located on the second floor above Fred's, it has a great view of the ocean if you're in the front of the restaurant. I don't know how to describe the decor, but I liked all of the different pictures everywhere. They have bar food but everything we had was great, coconut shrimp, fish tacos, beef tacos and the Mahi Mahi fish and chips. We really enjoyed there cocktails and would go back just for those. They have a happy hour every day from 5to7

One heck of a way to end her birthday nightcap. Our server Kevin wrapped her NICE RACK tank top in brown paper bag signed, sealed and delivered maui bar post office. So awesome. She's smiling. Thank you Kevin, aka Captain Redbeard, wizard (Kevin's brother), Lisa and bartender Eammon. Last night we were here and Ian hooked us up with his green tree shot. Found out today he's and brand new uncle. Kudos to the moose family

Monday night free Bingo was super fun! I've never played and my husband didn't even want to but we both had a great time

This was our last night in Maui...after a grueling Road to Hana trip...lol.. totally worth it... We were ready for a beer! The staff here at Moose McGillycuddy's is absolutely on point! No joke! The hostess...the super sweet bus lady...and of course Kevin were the Best !!! Not only is Kevin all over that restaurant making sure all of his customers are happy and have everything they need ...he does it with joy ! He was so personable and made the last night of our trip a great one I would repeat like Ground Hog day If I owned this restaurant I would be so grateful to have and be So pleased with my staff !! These folks are all gems!!! And work so hard!! They all work as a great team as well supporting one another and giving the Best customer service! The wings were great! But I will say the other food here we tried is ok...not great...we ate here 2nd day of our trip as well and the wings were the best thing I tried on the menu. What I will say is we had such fun! Thank you Kevin for a great experience we would come back for !!!

We came here straight from the beach - which didn't matter- super low key, chill vibe. Easy to find a seat at 1:30p on a Tuesday afternoon. Great views of the ocean and palm trees- we grabbed seats at the bar. Numerous televisions all over the restaurant - would be a fab spot to catch a game while visiting Maui. My boyfriend and I shared the nachos with pork. They did not disappoint. I forgot to snag a pic but there was sooooo much pork on there we had to ask for more chips! A good problem to have. :) They smoke the pork in house- so any entree or app with pork would be a great choice! The bartender was running the show behind the bar solo- and she did a great job- even chatted about some local stuff. Highly recommend swinging in here for a bite. Nightly food specials, Trivia on Wednesdays, HH deals. Large draft beer selection!

Beef sliders
Kaylynn M.

It had a bit of a chain restaurant feel, but the sliders were really good. We were in a scramble for a late night food option and they came in clutch. Our sever was helpful with some other local food recommendations for us which was a nice added bonus.

Kalua pork ! May look like a mess but it's delicious and packs in tons of flavor !
Stephanie C.

While this some what hidden bar / restaurant may seem like you're typical bland American bar it is quite surprising and delightful . The staff is always very friendly and efficient. Danny was out waiter this last time I went and he was great ! They have a variety of American type bar food but they also have a great Kaloa pork that comes close to many I've tried at Hawaiian restaurants. I highly recommend trying it . Their drinks are also good and they have a decent happy hour . Overall I highly recommend coming here if you're in kihei and want a casual dine in experience with great food and veiw.

Lilikoi martini
Alan R.

This was the first stop on my and my wife's foodie little foodie excursion. While our cocktails were pretty good, we really questioned the sanitary conditions of the bar. When we walked in towards the bar, there was a really strong yeasty, rotting beer smell. It was definitely not your typical bar beer smell. If I had to take a guess, I would think that they didn't clean their taps, that's usually what causes that smell. It basically causes stale beer to be mixed in with your fresh beer and the old beer actually starts rotting causing this really strong and specific odor. Other than the smell, the cocktails that we ordered were actually quite pleasant. This isn't necessarily a bad spot, I just would steer clear of their beer. It's close to the beach, so perfect for a quick drink after a swim and the service was friendly.

Recommendation by Christina delicious fish. Coconut shrimp and calamari strips
Kat R.

Highly recommend this place, omg so many cool signs you just can't stop reading these and literally LOL, if you visit the restrooms be ready to spend 10 minutes just reading them AND BIG THANKS TO CHRISTINA AKA MATA for the hot sauce,MAHALO hope your son had the best birthday weekend ever oh must try the calamari strips fish basket delicious

Best Mai Tai in Kihei!!
Ashley M.

We LOVED Moose's!! Great view, great bartenders, friendly locals and an AWESOME vibe!!! This was absolutely "our kind of place!" We went for happy hour (and stayed late) almost every night of our trip!! Matt and Ian (and a female bartender whose name I didn't get, unfortunately) poured strong and delicious cocktails! The Mai Tais were the best we had in any of the bars we visited! The food was good, too. We really enjoyed the Kahlua pork sandwich! On Monday night they had bingo...SO much fun!! I won $5 in Moose Bucks! Whoop whoop! Wish we could have been there for Wednesday night Trivia, but it gives us something to look forward to on our next trip! One suggestion...the chips and salsa needs to come with double the amount of salsa and it would be great if their was a spicier option! (It's super, super mild)

BBQ burger
Dylan P.

BBQ burger was delicious and u can never go wrong with chicken wings and any bar. Seems the onion ring was n after thought though

Fried calamari
Adiba O.

Highly recommend to come visit here for happy hour! Great pub vibes and a perfect stop after exploring the beach in Kihei. Their fried calamari was the best I've ever tasted and the drinks were awesome!

The Big Kahuna Burger
Annie W.

One of my favorite places to visit in Kihei! I absolutely LOVE the Lava Flow here. On the menu it says dessert in a glass next to it and that's exactly what it is! I don't want to know how many calories are in it, but it's a nice treat every once in awhile! I've gotten some of the burgers here before and they have always been delicious! Make sure to check out their happy hour and daily specials!

Combo: poke and onion rings (Hubby's selection)

This place is located upstairs right on South Kihei Road, across Kam II, just before the road closure due to the recent flooding. There is plenty of parking available. This place is pretty big inside with lots of tables and booths. It has the same eclectic decor that I remember. The service here is fast and friendly. They even had live entertainment! We ordered the berry spritzer mocktail, nachos, and potato skins. The mocktail was refreshing and not too sweet. The food tasted great! On Fridays they offer a Kamaaina discount of 20%.

The restaurant is directly across the street from the beach, so you can sit near the windows to enjoy the ocean view with your meal. The servers were very nice and always checked up on us to make sure we're doing OK. We ordered the baby Moose wings, which are their buffalo wings. We also orders a few cocktails - passion colada, lychee martini, and the bourbon buck. The wings were good. Pretty much your standard buffalo wings. The drinks were good as well but more on the sweeter side. We only stopped by for a small snack and some drinks but definitely enjoyed our experience. If you're looking for a place to chill with some drinks, check this place out!

Pro tip: they don't take reservations, but definitely call ahead if you're bringing a big crew. The vibe is great with both indoor and outdoor seating and cute, casual decor. It's a perfect spot for local bites and a solid drink. Speaking of drinks--the beer selection is top-notch, and the cocktails were delicious and surprisingly affordable. It feels like drink prices are finally leveling out even while food prices keep climbing! Food-wise, we sampled every flavor of the sliders. They were all very tasty, though a bit heavy on the salt for my personal palate. We also tried the wings, which come in a great variety of flavors. My only real gripe was that the fries were a bit overcooked, but the service was so fast and attentive that it made up for it. Overall, a great neighborhood spot for a casual hang. I'll definitely be back for the cocktails.

We ordered three large pizzas: regular cheese, margherita, and sweet kalua ($75). While we waited, we sat outside on the patio, where there was a live musician who was really good and entertaining. The staff was friendly and checked on us to see if we needed anything while we waited. It also seemed like a chill bar where people could grab drinks and hang out on the patio. We took the pizzas home, and they were delicious. Our favorite was the sweet kalua. It was not overly barbecuey or sweet, but actually pretty savory. The margherita pizza was good too. In general, their pizza stands out because there is not too much crust. It was not crispy, but instead airy and on the doughy side. The reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 5 is because one of our group members found a blonde hair baked into his pizza slice, not just sitting on top. That was disappointing, especially since the pizza itself was actually very good.

Unfortunately, our waitress never checked back to ask how the drinks were. On a positive note, the food was enjoyable. The half rack of ribs, burger, and fish sandwiches were all tasty and satisfying. We're hoping this was just an off night and that next time we'll experience better service -- though we'll definitely be skipping the coffee martini!

Walked in before 5:00pm with no reservation for a party of four. Well, that was a mistake. Despite idle wait staff and maybe only five occupied tables out of 20-30 total they made us wait for about a half hour. The reason was other people made reservations and were expected. When they finally sat our party the restaurant was still 2/3 empty. There was really no reason to keep us waiting that i could see. When you see someone in the party is disabled and using assistive devices you should be more accommodating. It kind of felt like we were being punished for not having a reservation. Also, expect a 3% service charge for the back of the house. Really, for the prices they charge for mahi fragments you could pay those people without a surcharge. Portions here are tiny. My mahi fragments were dry, over spiced and served with two unseasoned baby bok choi leaves and a slice of grilled tomato. For the price of almost $40.00. The beer was good and so was our server so they got one star for that. Otherwise, this place is touristy, overpriced and the maitre d' is slow on the uptake. Overall, there are plenty of great restaurants on Maui, recommend you try one of those.
