The Gazebo was easily one of our favorite breakfast stops in Maui! The oceanfront setting is absolutely beautiful and makes the whole experience feel extra special. The food was SO good and absolutely worth the wait. Everything felt like the perfect laid-back Hawaiian breakfast experience--great food, gorgeous views, and such a fun atmosphere. The Gazebo is definitely a must when visiting Maui, and we'll be dreaming about this breakfast until our next trip! read more

Came here for lunch and got in line for about 15 minutes. Got seated and got our food right away after we ordered. The food here are delicious. The staff are always friendly. read more

I so wanted to love this place based on the reviews. Beach view and Mac nut pancakes... what a dream. For starters the restaurant is located in the back of a hotel - tons of signage so you can't get lost. The restaurant itself is so cute and has amazing views of Napili Beach. The staff is also super friendly. Things tried: - combo pancakes - they were good, but very sweet and a bit overwhelming. If it's a party of 2 I'd recommend ordering something savory to balance the sweetness. - fried rice - the fried rice was good - full of veggies, spam and ham and topped with eggs - it hit the spot. All in all glad I finally got to try the gazebo. read more

Happy to have the tidbit of ordering to go in the back. Can't speak to the service but the pancakes were solid. The whipped cream was a little odd- maybe a cool whip situation which isn't bad, but it was very sweet and tasted a tad artificial. I was glad they put coconut sauce on the side because that was very fake. Loved the sausage but there was not a lot of it. read more

The Gazebo Restaurant - Took out pancakes home to eat on the patio - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

A couple we met recommended the Gazebo so we checked it out. They were very accommodating to tailor to my allergies which I appreciated. My husband got the burger and he is a real burger snob and loved it!!! He tried the famous macadamia nut pancakes and thought they were good, not overwhelmingly amazing but good. Unassuming place but nice servers, line moves fast, and you can walk to the bay. read more

definitely a popular place to visit when you're in Lahaina. There's gonna be a wait... I was 30 minutes early and the wait was still about 45 minutes. no reservations just a good old line. lots of parking when you get there head towards the pool. The staff here is super friendly and you also get tons of birds at your table so beware but the staff is super helpful in getting them off the tables portions for the food are pretty big, especially the fried rice, which makes sense because they offer a half portion. Big fan of their coconut syrup for their pancakes. I recommend getting a coffee/drink before getting in line so you're not so hungry waiting for your table. there's barely any shade in line, but they do have umbrellas. all in all if you have time, come check it out if you're in a time crunch, I would not pick this place but you can get food to go and they said it takes about 10 minutes. The views are beautiful so make time if you can. read more

FOOD:because of my wife's special diet, we opted for the buttermilk pancakes with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and bacon that we split. I was dying to try the coconut maple syrup and was not disappointed. The pancakes were soft fluffy, but the syrup put it over the top . I was able to steal a bite of our son's Mac & Nut Pancakes that was a mouthful of sweetness.we were fortunate to have some other family members staying up that way so we told them to get in line when we were a half hour away and the timing was perfect as soon as we got there, we bypass the line and they were just being seated. We had a view of Napili Beach so maybe our next trip will stay up this way because we've always stayed in Kihei. SERVICE: The pancakes were delivered within minutes and the server had jokes. The staff was very friendly except for one . AMBIANCE: The place was very loud and cramped ! read more

Where do I start...possibly one of my favorite breakfast spots in Maui. yes the line is long but I thought it was worth the wait and I'd do it again. Pro tip: bring an umbrella b/c the sun is strong and you'll crisp! We got the macadamia nut pancakes and a half order of the fried rice to share. server was kind and offered to split the pancakes for us which came out in 2 plates and OMG i was like what? this is split? we each had a big giant pancake with a whopping topping of their whipped cream (macadamia nut I think). and the coconut syrup???? y'all, I was in heaven. The pancake was fluffy, the nut topping was delicious. I couldn't finish my pancake! portion was huge. The fried rice was some of the best I've had, so many yummy bits and we got a half-order to share and barely made a dent! We took the rest to-go. Definitely making a stop here again next time we're in Maui! read more

The Gazebo Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Still my absolute favorite in Maui! This is one of two place I HAVE TO VISIT each time in Maui. Get there early, or order to go out the back door. I dream about the macadamia nut pancakes when back at home, and I'm still trying to replicate their breakfast fried rice between visits. We get the full order of both, then eat the left overs the next day...so much delicious food. The staff is second to none! They remember us and our family, even though we are only there a couple weeks each year. THEY ARE AMAZING! Couple that with the amazing beach view, sounds and relaxed atmosphere, I never want to leave! read more

Overhyped esp with dine in. Crazy wait times, so we ordered to go and sat on the grass and enjoyed! We went twice, once for the Mac nut pancake and once for a half portion fried rice. We liked the fried rice more than the pancake. The pancake was massive and a lot more than we needed or wanted and after a second day working on it we gave up. The whipped cream disappeared though! We also didn't notice any banana in it either. The fried rice was very good. rice was a tad soggy but the half portion was perfect for 2. It gave the fried rice from nearby Joey's a run for its money but I'd still give the edge to Joey's. Service is great and friendly for the takeout. They include a charge 3% service fee for takeout so whatever you add is additional. read more

Excellent service but expect a very very long line, mine was 1 hour 15 minutes. The wait is worth it though, the hype is real. The macadamia nut pancakes were top tier. I got the combo that came with bacon and eggs, everything cooked exactly how I like it, the eggs scrambled slightly soft and the bacon with the right amount of crispy. The POG juice was amazing. Price was ok, but it's Hawaii so everything is pricey. The view of the island and the birds made it a great experience even with the wait. Come early and the line might not be as bad. read more

We got there around 8 and waited an hour. Totally worth the wait! From reviews we got the fried rice. We got the full order and she offered to box up half ahead so it would stay fresh. Oh my goodness! It was HUGE! We probably didn't eat half of the half! But lots of stuff (meat and veg) and scrambled eggs on the top. We each got one pancake- a full order is 2 but you can order one for half price. No way we could have eaten 2! The server and all the other people working were friendly and attentive. It is small but the line moves pretty quickly. The birds are not afraid to steal food. My son asked if we could come back next time! read more

Came here at 8:45. The line was so long. We decided to order take out (from the back of the restaurant). Got our food in 15 minutes. We sat and had our breakfast by the pool just outside. It was perfectly cloudy, so we enjoyed the fresh air and fantastic view. Had the eggs Benedict. . Oh soooo good. Maybe next time, I'll bring my own plate and cutlery, so I can enjoy al fresco breakfast even more (I don't enjoy eating with plastic fork). Just as we finished eating, the people at the back of the line (when we arrived), were still in line!! Maybe they really want real plates and silver cutlery. read more

The food had no flavor. I got the pork sandwich and my husband got the chicken sandwich. The service was great and the view was wonderful.

The Gazebo Restaurant at Napili Shores Maui by Outrigger was spectacular! The oceanfront location is hard to beat, and the food and service were both excellent. My daughter and I split the combo pancakes with macadamia nuts, pineapple, and banana, served with coconut syrup, along with an omelette, potatoes, and toast. The portions are huge, so splitting was perfect! My husband had the Portuguese sausage omelette, one of my sons ordered the shrimp melt, and my other son had the banana macadamia nut pancakes. Everyone loved their meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt relaxed and very Maui. Between the gorgeous views, generous portions, delicious food, and great service, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast spots on the island. There can definitely be a wait because it is so popular, but it is absolutely worth read more

The Gazebo Restaurant - Great ocean views - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

I'm so confused by all of these positive reviews. This was one of the most overhyped, extremely not worth it meals I've ever had. We waited over an hour in line to eat here because we heard the banana mac nut pancakes and fried rice were good. We got both and the breakfast burrito and all of it was so lackluster and mid. The banana mac nut pancakes barely had any banana or macadamia nuts. It was mostly bland pancakes and cream. The fried rice was so bland we had to douse it in soy sauce for it to be remotely edible. The breakfast burrito had crunchy, raw peppers in it. Also the host who also brought our drinks acted like I asked for a complicated fancy frappuccino or something when I asked for an iced decaf coffee. Rude service from her but our server was very sweet. It's evident that this place only cares about getting crowds in and out. The view from the table is nice but it's Maui- there are beautiful views everywhere. Save your time and money. read more

The Gazebo Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

We arrived at 8:20am and waited close to an hour for a table. We are so glad we decided to stick it out - it was well worth the wait and the views aren't bad while you wait either. Great whale watching time. We ordered the combo Mac nut pancakes which came with a mountain of homemade whipped cream, Mac nuts, banana, and pineapple. The pineapple was underwhelming and stringy / not super flavorful. But, everything else was phenomenal - so fluffy pancake, creamy caramelized tasting whipped cream, plenty of Mac nuts - just WOW. We also got a side oder of corned beef hash which was fresh and hot, along with the country potatoes which were ok - tasted like the oil may have been a bit stale. This is a no frills, fast friendly service spot, with great food and great views. read more

Absolute heavy hitter of a breakfast. If you are worried about your appetite well stop. Honestly if your absolute brick house of a human or you played offensive line for your local high school order the Whole Fried Rice Plate it's worth the cash and it's something to brag about to your mother in law. ( If you order the half plate you proably played soccer). Also this place has maybe one of the best views in the world for breakfast so just sit down drink your 17 cups of coffee (because your coffee cup will not go empty in this establishment), and enjoy the time with whoever your with. FYI: I know the line is long that's why you get there early or honestly after 10:30, and there are no reservations this is how the place operates and it's great. I know Proably 200 plus people complained about a wait time on this review board and guess what who cares your in Maui you can stare at the ocean in line. Maybe get off your phone talk to each other and enjoy the view. Mahalo read more

The Gazebo Restaurant - View from the corner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

This place was so good. Had to wait 45 minutes to get in for breakfast in the rain but totally worth it. While waiting, they had umbrellas to keep patrons dry. Finally sat down and were asked about drinks. Coffee and waiter were immediately delivered. Wife and I shared banana Mac nut pancakes and half ordered of fried rice with eggs. Came out pretty quick. Both delicious. Pancakes were truly decadent. Especially with the home made whip cream on top. Rice comes with scrambled eggs and next time I'd order over easy with an extra egg but it was still delicious. I highly recommend Gazebo to anyone in the Kapalua area. read more

We ate here this morning & it was wonderful. We showed up around 10:30 & waited maybe 30min in line, but it was a beautiful view next to the pool/ocean. We both ordered the eggs Benedict, but I had the vegetarian type while he had the traditional. We also ordered a side macadamia nut pancake since that's the specialty. They did not disappoint. The service was fast. The food was delicious. The place is unique & adorable & feels like you're in an older Maui (in a good way). Oh! & the pancake was amazing. It was like a regular cake really. 10/10 would eat here again. read more

The Gazebo Restaurant - Look at that pancake & whipped topping! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Popular breakfast spot with beach views. We read other reviews that recommended arriving here earlier than the 7:30am opening time. We arrived at 7am and it was 35 minute wait after opening. The line moved slowly because there's limited seating and people don't rush but it's a vacation vibe, so what do you expect. We ordered the combo pancakes and the half order of fried rice. The half order portion was huge - I still had leftovers after the meal. Cash and credit cards accepted but it's more expensive to use credit cards. The view of the water was great and our waitress was efficient. Everyone was chilling and assuming that you're not in a rush, it is a good place to stop by. read more

They serve the best fried rice I've ever had (and I'm an islander)! That and the macadamia nut pancakes are a MUST! I'm not a fan of coconut or fruit on my food so I was hesitant to try the the coconut syrup - but it's absolutely delicious! I always get the corned beef hash and the POG juice alongside the fried rice. It's a huge portion so we get a half serving - but if you want leftovers, get a full order! When you're done, take a relaxing stroll around the beautiful coast. Tip for anyone who don't want to wait: Get it to go! My husband and I have done that a few times when we want to eat in our hotel room. It's definitely worth the wait for the experience though - the service is always great too! read more

We were staying within walking distance to the Gazebo, from all our research for this trip a must visit for breakfast. While there is usually a line to get in, I figured because it was rainy we would get right in. I was wrong, there was still a line. The Gazebo had large umbrellas you could use, the line is outside. The damp morning brought a beautiful rainbow over the water. About 50 minutes later we were in. There was a line the entire time we were there. The pancakes are the thing, and also it turns out, fried rice. Under their Specialties, I ordered White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, two fluffy pancakes topped with those items plus a generous topping of whipped cream. While it was wonderful without syrup, I did eventually try their white super sweet coconut syrup. Another in our group got for the table a full order of their Egg Fried Rice, and it was a mountain of food on a large plate. The savory rice really helped balance the sweet of the pancakes. The rice had a ton of different ingredients. Once ordered the food took less than 10 minutes. This open air spot overlooking the water was a fantastic start to the day. read more

All around amazing. The banana macadamia nut pancakes order comes with two perfectly cooked pancakes topped with a mountain of whip cream. I added their coconut syrup that is made locally and completely elevated the dish! My husband and I split the order and our waitress so kindly served it on two plates for us. We also ordered the fried rice to share - it was more than enough ! Could have done with the 1/2 order however, it was nice to have left overs for later. The fried rice was delicious and the perfect salty compliment to the sweet pancakes. In regard to the wait, we showed up about 30 min early and were able to be sat right away. The servers were all so kind and upon ordering had our food out to us within 15 minutes. Although there may be a wait if you do not get there early enough, it's not too bad as you are waiting right by the beach and can enjoy some beautiful views! Also, the wait is totally worth it, I would have waited an hour plus to get my hands on those pancakes. Totally worth the wait! read more

We got here about 45min before opening and man we were still 20 something in line, so when they opened we still had to wait a bit because the place is small, but man was it worth the wait. My wife ordered an eggs Benedict, which I got to finish, she ordered a white chocolate macadamia nut pancake, which I got to finish.. I ordered an omelette with toast and potato's, which I finished.. along with a pineapple pancake and banana pancake, which I finished both... this place cooks some seriously great food. I'm filled myself to the brim because it was so good. I normally hate pancakes cooked with fruit but these were good. The fruit on top is ugly, I scooped that off it didn't taste good, but the fruit cooked inside the pancakes was really good. read more

Amazing views and one of the few options on the beach in the area. The lines can get long but it's quick and service is awesome. Food is fine. The egg Benedict was mid, but the fried rice was huge and solid, I spied the breakfast burrito that looked massive. Overall, a solid spot if you're walking distance and want a filling, basic, big portion meal. The views are stunning, but easily gotten at the beach below. I wouldn't necessarily come out of my way for it, but staying nearby, a solid kid friendly spot. read more

We returned on 7-6-26. They have not changed. The food is the best we had on our whole trip to Hawaii. Same as what I ate in my 2015 review. Size of the portions was large enough for two meals. Helpfulness of the waitress was topnotch. Constantly refilling my water. The birds are as aggressive as ever. The line to get in is still long. This time, we sat at a table where we could watch the beach and the ocean (20 feet away). I learned that this restaurant started in 1975. This was our best restaurant experience for our 2026 trip to Oahu and Maui. Do not miss a chance to dine here. read more

This place has always been one of our go to stops on the island and it never disappoints! I got the white chocolate Mac nut pancakes with their homemade whipped cream and it was soooo good!

The Gazebo is one of those places you have to try to experience Maui. The food is unique, the setting is beautiful and the service compliments the experience. She had the Macadamia Nut pancakes and they are outstanding! The whipped topping, the macadamia nut infused pancake, topped with house made coconut syrup, you couldn't ask for more! It's an experience in itself! I got the massive serving of Fried Rice and it was onolicious! I'll also be eating for a while, since we brought the leftovers with us. At any rate, it's a must try to experience Maui Upcountry! You won't be disappointed and you'll probably come back! read more

Had the chance to eat at The Gazebo in Lahaina during peak spring break--and yes, the wait was real (about 2 hours, even getting there 30 minutes before opening). But honestly, it was still worth it. The ambiance is exactly what you hope for in Maui--relaxed, oceanfront, and just a great place to slow down and enjoy the moment. The food absolutely delivers, from start to finish, and you can tell they've been doing it right for a long time. What really stood out was the service. When your server has been there for 30+ years, that tells you everything you need to know. That kind of experience and pride shows in how they treat you--genuine, warm, and dialed-in. Bottom line: expect a wait during busy times, but if you're patient, you'll be rewarded with great food, incredible hospitality, and one of those classic Maui dining experiences that sticks with you. read more

Amazing place to eat with amazing pancakes! I recommend the mac just like it's recommended. I also had the Monte Cristo which is a good warm sandwich but I'd still lean on pancakes. Other than that there is typically a line in the sun, but there are tide pools and ocean front just in front. Highly recommend on the itinerary for Maui. read more

Tired the fried rice made with ham, bits of bacon and Portuguese sausage, onions, red cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers. Topped with eggs and green onions. It's good portion for $22 (full size)/$15 (half) especially considering it's in a tourist area. But you can def get better fried rice at that cost. Service was nice. Watch out for birds that might attack your food tho... Update: Be sure to double check your order and receipt... My order was wrong during the restaurant and they fixed it on the spot, but upon reviewing the receipt at home they charged an extra drink so there was still a mistake... read more

A must-visit for us on every trip to Hawaii, The Gazebo's mac nut pancakes with coconut syrup are can't-miss. Our trick to avoiding the wait is to call in the order, pick it up (only a 10 minute wait), then enjoy the amazing pancakes on the beach. It's a lovely way to start the day! read more

Oh gosh. I honestly wish I could've given it a few stars less to squash the rumors I've heard about this place and tell you it's not worth the wait. But I can't - some people arrived around 6:30 to get in line to ensure they were seated upon opening. We arrived at 7:20 and it took about 40 minutes to be seated, so highly recommend arriving early. They stayed their line is like that every single day so just go take an early day to do this. The fruit was cooked into the pancakes which added amazing flavor. At first we thought they were just plain but quickly realized our mistake in this. The service was quick and efficient to make sure the turnover kept happening. I never had to ask them for a refill because they made sure my coffee stayed full. I highly recommend this place! Maybe on a weekday if the crowd is a little better but you'll be waiting quite a while if you do not arrive earlier. read more

We finally got to try this place! We were here in May and when we tried coming the wait was 2 hours!! But this trip we finally got to try it and it did not disappoint! We waited about 15 minutes in line. We are a party of 6 and the space is limited so we had to sit a separate tables which we didn't mind (they did have a table for 6 but we would've had to wait awhile for the group that was already at the table to be finished). They have umbrellas outside to use while waiting in line which is nice especially if you're going to wait in a long line in the sun. Service was great! The food was delicious. I got the corned beef and hash with eggs and really enjoyed it! We also got the macadamia nut pancakes they are known for and OMG YUM! We don't even really eat pancakes but we didn't want to pass it up! They also have fresh made coconut syrup that was delicious! We are glad we got to eat here! read more

My family and I finally tried this place even though they've lived in Lahaina for 7 years. We came on Saturday, 6/27/26. There was plenty of parking, and it was easy to find will all the signs. We got into the semi-long line at 10a and were seated at 10:45. There is a small 2-person bench that my mom and I sat in while my stepdad stood in line for us. Other than that bench, you have to stand in the sun. They provide umbrellas if you want protection from the sun or rain. The service was pretty good. They were nice and helpful. Our waitress could've been more attentive, but it also could've been worse. It's a pretty small place with a wonderful view. They played music at a good level. My mom liked her eggs benedict, side of bacon, and single pancake. My stepdad liked his combo specialty pancakes with coconut syrup, side Portuguese sausage, and some fried rice. I slightly liked my combo specialty pancakes and some fried rice. I tried my mom's potatoes that came with her eggs benedict, and they were burnt. I thought the food was a little bland. I've had better pancakes elsewhere, and these weren't that sweet or flavorful. I wish the fried rice didn't have purple cabbage or bell peppers and had more seasoning. The portions for the pancakes and fried rice were huge though, so that's good. I drink tap water at every restaurant I go to and my own house, and the Gazebo's was the gross kind. Overall, my parents really liked the food and would return, but I personally wouldn't. read more

What a nice find! It's a beautiful outdoor restaurant with great views, and the service was very good. There was quite a long wait to get seated and we had to stand in the sun, but they had plenty of umbrellas available so we could stay out of it, which helped. For breakfast: * My husband ordered the mac nut pancakes. * My kids each ordered a fried rice dish. Each one was huge -- we definitely could've ordered just one and added another dish for variety. * I ordered a tailor-made omelet, which came with home fries and sourdough bread. Since I'm gluten-free, I gave the bread to someone else. The food was all very good. If we went back, the only thing I'd do differently is not order two of the same dish -- the fried rice portions were so large that my kids couldn't finish them. My husband really isn't a pancake person, so I'm not sure why he chose the mac nut pancakes other than that they seem to be a specialty. He liked them, but would probably order a tailor-made omelet next time. read more
