Chicago dog + bacon ranch dog
Maria P.

Head down Makawao Ave. in Upcountry Maui and spot the little food stand with wooden beams and a tin roof - reminiscent of those days gone by. That there is Road Dogs; a little, new-ish food stand located at the Makawao Marketplace, just down the street from Komoda Bakery. They're one of a handful of food vendors in this little lot and have a good-sized menu of hot dogs, chili, shave ice, fresh squeezed lemonade, and sometimes some t-shirts and hats. I've tried the Chicago Dog and the Bacon Ranch Dog which come in a foil 'boat' and are loaded with banana peppers. It's not a big, grand, culinary experience, but simple, flavorful, and both were tasty. I don't normally eat banana peppers, but was pleasantly surprised I found they went really well with the hot dogs. We've been a few times now and their hot dogs are a nice quick snack during our visits to Makawao town and reasonably priced. They are your standard sized hot dogs so if you've got a big appetite, you may want to pick-up a few.

Bacon Ranch Dog with Mango Lemonade
Doug J.

Looking for an inexpensive break from fish tacos or Huli chicken? Road Dogs was a great stop for a quick hot dog and a tasty mango lemonade. For the price it's probably a five star stop but of course a localtmade bun from the Komodo Bakery or a higher quality hot dog/sausage would have jacked the price so I am happy with my Bacon Ranch Dog for $7. The bun was steamed, nice touch, the bacon bits plentiful and tasted like real bacon not dried bits from a bag and the cook placed them carefully under the dog to keep them in place when you took a bite. The peppercini and ranch sauce were good compliment to the whole thing. Like I said the quality for the money was great. The mango lemonade was awesome.

Best Lemonade around! Add some strawberry syrup for a very refreshing treat on a hot day!

I had the chili dog and it did not disappoint whatsoever. The service was very friendly and the aesthetic was very nice.

Forgot to post this review. It's been a two months since we were there with scrolling through my…read morepictures and saw the malasadas. So I had to write a review These were great -- hot, fresh, and packed with filling. We got lilikoi cheesecake, ube cheesecake, cookie butter, Bavarian, Reese's peanut butter cup, and Nutella. The woman working the truck was the kindest person and patiently helped us pick flavors and fillings. There's plenty places to sit in front of the food truck , an amazing service. Plenty of patience to sit .Highly recommend.

We probably would've gone more if we weren't so full from all the other good eats on the island. On our 1st visit, we ordered Ube cheesecake, cookie butter & Bavarian cream. All were delicious but Ube was our fave. So on our 2nd visit, we ordered Ube (again), crème brûlée & peanut butter cup. Again, it was all so good. Sabrina & John were super friendly. They interacted with their customers with so much aloha. It was also Sabrina's birthday one of the days we came by so she shared extra malasadas & even gave me a rose from her birthday bouquet. How sweet was that?! When you have delicious items plus great service, that would make you want to keep supporting the business.

The staff was super welcoming and attentive. We had the traditional poke bowl and fish tacos, today's catch was ahi tuna.

There is a small parking lot on the side and street parking by the library across the street. The main draw here is the poke but they also serve fish tacos and fish plates. They sell only locally-caught fish which changes daily. For poke there are only two options: traditional and spicy. We got one of each ($22 each) and I preferred the traditional as it was saltier and had more flavor. I'm used to seeing more than just two flavors but it's fine. What I didn't like was that the rice in my bowl was hard like it had been out for a while. The other bowl was fine so I'm not sure what happened there. $46 total for two bowls seems like a higher price than normal for sushi, and the spicy one was just okay. Note that there is a 3% charge for using card.

The sauce was sweet, sour, and a bit tangy; one of my fav salad dressing small pork heaven ($7.95) - it really is heaven after taking the first bite - it was extremely soft and tender, like it was stewed or well roasted for hours - the flavor was great too - such a great price for a good portion that will fill you up easily and GREAT quality meat like man knows how to cook up some fire pork rating: 4/5 - it's a pretty solid spot in the middle of nowhere! Nothing was astounding nor perfect but it serves basic dishes that are pretty well done - super affordable price - friendly and quick service; man is genuine - take out place but has a tiny seating area on the side IG: @nom.noms.only
