Our first day in Maui and already we can't get enough of this place. Three's has a great little happy hour and fast service. We had the pork nachos, which was amazing, the crab cakes and the coconut shrimp. I'd get each one of those again. Great view from the deck and cute little lights strung up outside that made the ambiance really nice after the sunset.

The Mediterranean Salad is really yummy! The 3-0 prosecco caipiroska packs a refreshing punch. The ambience is choose your own. I highly recommend!!
Go for happy hour! They're very accomodating even near closing, and they make very good happy hour cocktails. The Sushi and pork taco are excellent.

Mrs says make sure they get 5 stars. For overall experience she's absolutely right. Easy top rating for happy hour, starting at 3:00, but be aware, it fills up fast. Kahlua pork tacos are excellent. We think the coconut shrimp is better than our favorite fish place, Coconuts. Sushi rolls are not Sansei, but darn good for the price, roughly 1/2. 4plates and 3 Mail Tais around $30, and we're full and happy. Ambience, music, and service are all 5 stars.

I enjoy the Happy Hour at 3's w/ their nice and shady outdoor patio..... They dish out tasty snacks to munch on and feature great drink prices. Overall, I would give this about 4-Stars ..... But, this until the "ATTACK OF THE FLIES" starts and the buggy assault hits your table in search for any crumb to munch on...... Literally, you must eat fast and hunched over your food - with your arm wrapped around your plate to fend off the nasty flying creatures.... I am not really sure what 3's could do about this major bug problem, but it is major annoying and makes me want to eat inside to escape the wrath of the FLIES.

I only came by for breakfast. I should have realize that there was no crowd here that I was going to be disappointed. They weren't bad. I really didn't fly all the way to Hawaii and not get something local. The breakfast were typical fare that you can find in any American restaurant.

The food and drinks here are fantastic and I gave them one extra star because they had someone out on the deck singing that had an amazing voice which helped make up for the fact that the servers are not very enthusiastic. We went to this place twice and both times had the same experience. If they could just get some people that were excited about being there it would be perfect. Good job getting Elaine Ryan to sing, it earned you an extra star.

I'd definitely come back to three's. I loved that we were seated next to an open window and our waiter was really great. The fish and chips, hurricane fries, and kalua pig quesadilla's were great. The crab cakes, panko ahi sushi, and coconut shrimp were just alright.

Great restaurant in Kihei with great Hawaiian food and awesome drinks. I had the cucumber and ginger Collins, nice cool and refreshing drink. I had the macadamia nut crusted chicken, it was perfectly cooked and delicious and moist. I liked my sugar snap peas and sticky rice. The papaya salsa was a nice addition. These restaurant gives out chips and salsa. An extra star for service, Samantha was great and checked on us frequently. I will be back for their happy hour specials and lava pie!

Very refreshing place in a hot day with delicious food and cocktails. We enjoyed live music at the shady lanai.

We had their Mahi Mahi fish and chips, which was pretty impressive... good enough for me to go back for it a second time during my short week-long vacation in Maui. It's easy to make decent fish n chips, but not so easy to make a great one - my compliments to the chef. Convenient location, comfortable environment, and efficient & friendly service. A bit pricey, but so are all the other restaurants in this area.

So me and 6 others rolled in after a beach and car day. I was ready to drop with hunger. We grabbed a great patio table next to a big tree with a perfect view of the ocean. I'm always wary of live music because I find it intrusive and loud but this guy, I wish I got his name was so amazing. Just him and his guitar. He played beautifully. His voice was perfect! He did so many songs just one after another and each was so good. He actually relaxed me enough to forget my shiny sunburnt face. On to the food! It was happy hour so I needed sushi and a taco stat. Oh and a marg on the rocks ;) grabbed a pork taco and a salmon avocado roll. Salmon was fresh. The avocado was fresh. Rice was cooked perfectly. The taco was bleeping amazing. Tender and juicy, with a spicy sauce that wasn't overpowering. No regrets whatsoever. Everyone in the group was so happy with their choices. To break it down we ordered: salmon avocado roll. Pork taco. Fish taco. Chicken wings. Coconut crusted shrimp. Kalua pork nachos. Penncoves oysters. Spicy tuna roll. Tekka maki roll. I'll point out one of our party is a picky eater, but the dish they ordered actually satisfied them. The service was fantastic. I have a gluten intolerance so I hate asking about my options. I saw the just ask on the menu so before ordering the taco I asked about the shell and it was corn. Hurray! And seriously it should be. And like a miracle because I ordered with gluten free taco in mind our server ( I didn't catch his name :( ) said "so you're gluten free? Ok I'll bring you some tamari for your roll" without the eye roll I usually get. Honestly I have never felt less annoying for being gluten intolerant because of that guy. Water was refilled on a regular which is great on a hot day. The view to the beach was great even across the road. The sun was just going down. My only and seriously one gripe was the bar lime in the marg. Other than that it was a fantastic much needed beautiful patio and food experience. If you're ever in Kihei just go. No regrets.

Came here with my family 4 times during our trip, twice for breakfast and twice for dinner. We sat in the nice outdoor patio where they have live music playing even in the morning, very nice. Breakfast and dinner food items were great, drinks were great, and service was good. My family was very pleased and would certainly recommend this place to others. Also their in house mango habanero sauce is awesome!

Fantastic happy hour deal. Had the panko crusted ahi roll, spicy tuna roll, salmon/avocado roll and coconut shrimp. That last one is the clear winner, with a spicy pineapple/mango salsa.

We stopped for drinks and appetizers. The apps we had (Portuguese pork tacos, crab cakes) were quite good. Great outdoor atmosphere with live music. Very relaxing. They have a great happy hour mid-afternoon, too! Our service was horrible, however. (The reason for my 3 star review). We had a very dis-interested waitress (Danielle) who really looked like she didn't want to be there. I asked for a soft drink, she repeated it...then promptly forgot. She didn't check on us. Even the people at the next table were giving looks as she practically tossed them a menu and walked away.

Went for happy hour, had a great experience. Friendly staff, quick service. Fish tacos were very good (although I can't see paying the regular 6$/taco, seems a bit crazy). Coconut shrimp also great. Sushi rolls were really fresh (duh) and super tasty. Mai tais were really good as well. The only complaint we had was the crazy amount of flies that swarmed the food after it was brought out. Sitting outside I'm not sure what you can do about it, but it was kind of an issue! As a bonus the live music on the patio was awesome. Not too loud, and definitely talented. No qualms about recommending this place for happy hour!

Bland food. Ok setting. Somehow my nacho chips were burned. I don't know how you burn nachos, but they did. The fish sandwich lacked the essential ingredient of flavor. One person in our group ordered the salad and was satisfied. The patio seating is nice, but the trees drop a lot of leaves onto the tables below if it's a windy day. Also, don't sit too close to the musician they have on the patio. The music can be a bit loud to some (so said Captain Obvious).

Good tasting fresh food. We had the pork nachos, ribs, and island burger. Patio with live music. Happy hour starts at 3. Good selection of appetizer, salads, sandwiches, fish entrees, and even rolls.

We where going to go to the kehei cafe up front, but the line was long and we didn't want to eat our breakfast, with people's butt in our faces as they waited in line. So right behind there is the three's bar & grill. It was very good my wife said it was the best eggs Benedict she's ever had. Friendly staff. It was so good we're going back for dinner.

Larry C.
Sit on the patio and listen to nice music; not too loud so that you can hear what your date has to say. Love the Peruvian pork tacos, coconut crusted shrimp and kalua pork quesadillas. Huh, guess I like pork. My best friend /date /wife had a couple of sushi rolls (California and spicy tuna) which she thought were great. She too likes the Peruvian tacos as well as the fish tacos. Just $3- during happy hour. We live here in Kihei and enjoy walking down knowing we are going to have great food in a nice atmosphere. Aloha-

We went for dinner one night and it was ok, after a long wait, but another night we went back for happy hour and loved it--hence the 5 stars. The tacos were great and the sushi was even better. A young woman provided some excellent live music on 5/18.

Overall we were happy with our lunch there. Good selection and friendly employees. We stuck with appetizers as our lunch. Primarily the Kaluha pork nachos and Kaluha pork quesadillas. I couldn't recommend these two items more. Tasted so good. Only thing odd was that the patio was full and we were the only ones sitting inside and there seemed to be ample servers around. Every time a server passed they were complaining about how busy they were. Many flies once our food came that were not there when we sat down. I have a feeling that's just time of year and that village with all the shops and food packed in there.

Go there for happy hour and sit outside. Pork Nachos. Tacos and wings are delicious. I'd think the bill could get high if you didn't go for happy hour, great spot by the beach.

I was drawn to this place one night in Kihei because of the live music. THere's always something to say about live music while eating dinner in their patio area. Service was great and the oysters are phenomenal. I recommend going through their sushi list because their sushis are outstanding. I also went for the Poke however, I feel like it's a little overpriced when I was able to get a good one for 10 bucks in Kahului. But then again, this is in a busy touristy area so I would assume that had a lot to do with the pricing.

Really wanted fish and chips. Sad to say they were completely without any flavor. The atmosphere outside was lovely and had live music which was a plus.

These people are idiots. While waiting 40 minutes for a table I asked the hostess for a breakfast menu. At this point it was 10:45 and she told us breakfast was finished and they had moved on to lunch. Though disappointed and annoyed that no one thought let us know this earlier, we figured we would find something on the lunch menu. When they finally seated us we looked over the lunch menus we had been given when seated. The waitress came over and we ordered a plate of nachos. A minute later the manager came over and asked "what is the situation?" I told her, "we just want to order nachos." She informed us the kitchen was on break and they were not serving food. How one gets seated in a restaurant that does not serve food at 11:00 am is beyond me, but it happened. We wasted an hour waiting and ultimately left hungry and annoyed. This sort of miscommunication is unacceptable.

Jeanine M.
I love this place for happy hour 3-6 pm. Asian flair, bold favors. This is my 5th time here...grazing my way through the menu. Lettuce wraps yummy, and fish tacos, small but flavor does disappoint. Drinks and excellent music on the patio!

Dalia Y.
Great lunch spot right near the beach. We came twice for lunch during our trip and loved it both times. Janice our server was so sweet and friendly, she even remembered all our names when we saw her again! I got the pulled pork the first time, which doesn't look like much in the plate - but tastes amazing! I also had the BLT, tasted the coconut crusted fish sandwich, and the kale salad. We also got some beers which were perfect for a warm Maui afternoon. Great service and delicious lunch!

Our third time here was not pleasant. We arrived about 7:30pm, and went to the bar while we waited for a table out on the lanai. The bartender shorted me on the cash purchase, and didn't offer a receipt. We were seated outside quickly, but under the singer's speaker, and we could not have a conversation. We were moved upon request to an open table and never were approached by a server for the next twenty minutes. We were ignored, as those around us were served. We spoke with the manager, who identified himself as Mark. He said maybe there was a reduction in the number of servers as we were seated. Our other meals and service was excellent. We had Janice our first time and she was excellent. Interestingly enough, the gentleman next to us at the bar was overcharged for his drink and the bartender said "oops! my math isn't so good tonight". I was thinking she was ripping off the bar, us, or both!

I wanted to write this review because we just had our wedding reception at three's in the Surf Lounge. The planning had a few bumps along the way but when it was all said and done they were very flexible and helpful to make my special day amazing. Food was great, service was good, and they helped when we had questions. The only two issues we had consisted of the music not working at the start of the night for about 20-30 minutes, and when we got our final quote I was a little surprised at the total costs with tax and service included. It was worth it but it would have been nice to have a rough final cost from the start seeing it was about 25% for the tax and service. All in all it was a great experience and I would use them again. Everyone loved the food and had a great time.

Great experience. We went during happy hour and ordered 2 appetizers each, as a lunch. We got the crap cakes, coconut schrimp, quesadillas and salat. The schrimp and crap cakes in particular was great. The other two dishes were good, but more marginal. We were seated outside, where a young girl was performing. She was indeed a great singer! We had a male server, who made sure that we had a great time. A female server came by once. Seemed a bit more indifferent in her attitude. All in all a great experience. Would come back.

CJ R.
I'd give this place 4 starts if there was a better view other than the parking view. Also the food is good and constantly good, we returned a few days later, it's just that based on the price, it should be relative to the pricing. Our first waiters on our original visit was superb, on our return visit the 2nd gal seemed tired and not very pleasant.

Scott G.
Horrible treatment. We walked up on a Tuesday at 4:30 with my family. They had a band going outside. I had heard about this place from a local at the hotel so we thought we would try it out. I walked and said to the hostess, I have 5 and would like to try the happy hour. I mentioned that because I read a couple posts about them only honoring the happy hour inside. She said she didn't have anything available when there 2 tables open. Ok, so I thought, someone might have a reservation. So I asked her if we waited how long she thinks it would be, she said "you can try back at 7 or 8 or maybe another day". Now that might also be reasonable except the fact was, we were the only ones there waiting for a table. I would not waste my time. We then walked down to Cuatro... Phenomenal.

I have only ever been for brunch but I am obsessed. I was in town visiting for a week and actually ate here twice. Their banana macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup literally takes your taste buds to a whole new level. They have a delicious french press coffee, great mimosas and a lovely outdoor seating area on the deck. The stuffed french toast with guava was ok and I probably wouldn't waste my carb intake on those (stick with the pancakes) The build your own omelettes also do not disappoint. I didn't personally order the Hawaiian Loco Moco but it is my friends favorite who live there.

This restaurant had great reviews, so we went in expecting to have a great dinner. I was also happy that they offered a coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase of two entrees "for giving them a try." I thought Three Chef friends should have a pretty firm grasp on good food, right? However, the experience was inadequate and underwhelming, at best. My cocktail was just okay, la paloma. Please know that I love Palomas and li hing mui, but it was not well balanced. The appetizer, the sampler, was average but I was still hopeful about the entrees. I ordered the Prime Rib and my friend ordered the Surf and Turf (two of the most expensive dishes mind you). With my entree I also ordered red wine. When the wine arrived, after my entree (which was okay, but just giving you an idea of the service quality) I took a sip post bite, only to realize the wine (Malbec) was ice cold. I asked the hostess, who was walking by, if there was a reason for the red wine being cold. Her response, "I'm not the bartender. " so, I asked my waitress, Lauren, when she walked by if there was a reason and she let me know that all their wines are chilled. I asked if they had any room temperature wines and she said, "No! Would you like something else?" But, I wanted a decent, room temp red wine with my steak, forgive me. So, I settled for a warm cup of water to attempt to warm my wine over. I was so shocked by the late arriving cold red wine, that I forgot to mention to the waitress that my prime rib was luke-warm. And, my friend's flat iron steak, also missed the mark. It was dry and flavorless. Now, as we asked for the bill I made the waitress aware of the coupon for the free appetizer. She said, "okay". And returned moments later to explain that the sampler isn't included in the offer, though nothing mentioned this on the coupon or on the menu. I explained the same and that we had ordered the most expensive items on the menu, along with drinks. Finally, the manager agreed to honor the coupon. The worst part of the experience was a toss up between the disappointing food / drinks and the overall service, though Lauren had a nice demeanor. The best part of the night, By Far, was the gentleman playing music on the front dining patio. He was stellar, great song selection, voice and guitar playing.

Tried the restaurant today. Service, ambiance, music was good. Pleasant people. Food was okay. Nothing to write home about. Not pricey but thought the food could be better for the quality of food. For example, I had a scrambled egg entree and add-ons are priced per item and the dish came out to $16 for a 3-egg scramble. If you're asking me, it is not worth it.

We went to the restaurant after hearing about their food. We started with their yelp free app deal, and the lettuce wraps were easily good enough to trade a kidney in for. I would have traded my daughter for more but the wife would have got mad I think. The beer selection was above average and the tuna entree was excellent. One star off for the wife's salmon - it was a bit wimpy and not up to par with the rest of the meal. The price wasn't terrible and sitting outside was a great experience. Its good for kids although the live music inside can be a bit loud at times.

Tried Three's for breakfast, so this review is based solely on my breakfast experience. I had the breakfast sandwich and hubby had the loco moco. We overheard the waitress say the eggs benedict was their most popular item, so I guess we chose the wrong items! The menu isn't extesive, in fact it's almost basic. Food is bland, tasteless and even a few good shakes of salt n pepper didn't help my sandwich. Hubby said the loco moco was "average at best" and also said it was tasteless. He's had loco mocos 4 times at 4 different places while we were at home this time and said this one was the most boring. Prices are average - $12-$14 for breakfast. Coffee is another $2.50. Maybe it's a little high, but then again its on S. Kihei Rd, so perhpas those prices are competitive, not sure. Btw, nice looking patio area to eat on which would make for a great happy hour spot as other reviewers have mentioned. Open aired inside with a handful of tenacious flies, so that may have actually been the better option in hindsight.

Surprisingly low prices for the location and quality of food! I came for breakfast and really enjoyed my quesadilla and mimosa and the outside patio seating with live local music. Service was great too with no wait for a table on 4th of July morning. I will be back. My new preferred breakfast spot in Kihei.

Jeff C.
Well, last morning in Maui. Left the hotel in Wailea and headed for Kihei for breakfast. Had read some reviews about Three's Bar and Grill for dinner but thought we would check out breakfast before our flight home. Food and service were both great. The restaurant is located in a cool outdoor shopping area with chickens running around so we requested to sit outside. Really nice.

This place was awesome, was the only clean looking place around the park, our waitress was very nice, we had a coconut crusted fish burger, was outstanding! Has big screen surf video on the wall. My kids don't eat meat, the mac n cheese looked good but my kids didn't like that it was actual pasta & not traditional macaroni, aside from that, ill def be back!

Wow! This was seriously good. We were referred here by someone working at our resort. The server was very helpful. I have a gluten allergy and she was extremely helpful. She volunteered that our choice of starter could be made without gluten. We ordered sushi and the special which was a fish dish with rice vegetables and a curry sauce. Both were fantastic . Ambiance was nice. Live music but not too loud. We would definitely recommend this place.

After a travel day from Kauai to Maui, picking up rental car and doing Costco duties we were tired but hungry for some "food food" within walking distance from our condo. We wanted no fuss no muss. Three's had a lovely outdoor patio so we checked out the menu - SUSHI...in. After 1 month of no sushi we were hooked and we ventured in. The menu has a lot of good options. Fresh fish, asian fusion and Hawaiian staples. The Verdict: Home made sweet potato chips and salsa. TASTY. Sushi:TASTY Trio of sliders ~two beef, one crab cake!! : TASTY Service: very FRIENDLY Three TASTY + 1FRIENDLY= 4 star rating of approval. g

Great service and food tucked away in Kihei. I wish we had been able to take advantage of their happy hour specials. Definitely give them a try. The sushi, crab cakes, and macadamia encrusted chicken were all excellent!

Alex A.
Don't love this place by any means. The drinks are cheap which is wonderful, especially for Maui. The only reason for the two stars is because of price and because my wife order lettuce wraps and really loved it, my sushi was just okay at best. The service was a little inattentive and our waitress Sam was extremely short, but maybe that was just because they were busy.... actually... they weren't busy so yeah she stinks. Overall the "healthy" food was good but overall, I'm over it.

Jason C.
Only ate there for breakfast, which was decent food. Wasn't quite as good and smaller portions than kihei caffe. Price was about the same, but a little higher after paying tip. I would say it's a good option if you don't have cash and don't want to pay an ATM fee to get money at kihei, or want the full sit down restaurant atmosphere as far as not having to wait in line to order, otherwise, I would stick to kihei caffe. Had a nice guitarist and singer on the deck while eating, which was nice.

I came with my family for New Year's Eve dinner with high expectations, but I was pretty disappointed after the meal. I really wanted to love the food especially because the descriptions sounded like perfect combinations of flavor; however, it's really hard to get Asian fusion right. We started with the kalua pork quesadillas and the panko-crusted ahi. The quesadillas were probably one of the better dishes I had because of the tender meat and spicy mango chutney topping. The panko-crusted ahi roll lacked the right kind of sushi rice, the side sauce overwhelmed the fish, and the avocado and ahi in the roll were tiny compared to the rice and fried panko. I had the poke bowl, which came with a bowl of shoyu poke, Japanese sushi rice, and seaweed salad. The only thing I enjoyed on the plate was the seaweed salad, which was seasoned relatively well and tasted refreshing. The poke was extremely over-dressed, with the sticky soy sauce and raw onions overwhelming all of the delicateness of the fish. I struggled to choke down the ahi, pairing it with huge amounts of average sushi rice just to mask the salt. After the meal, I kept downing water because of the extreme sauciness of the dish. I recommend that you try dishes on the menu that are less Asian, such as the ribs or the macademia-crusted chicken breast. These dishes are done a little bit better as they take on the heavy-handed preparation a little bit better.

It's good and an affordable lunch. There were a few things, however, that could be improved. The coconut crusted fish sandwich has too much lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and slaw. Yes I could take off the excess if I want, but they should know to plate it with less from the get-go. Second, the sesame bun just isn't that good. Service was excellent. Wine selection is good. I thought about coming back for dinner but a fish sandwich should really be more about the fish and it wasn't.

Nicole M.
We arrived before they were serving their dinner menu, so we started with the "happy hour" menu. It felt like we were an after thought. Once 5 pm arrived, we were able to order from their dinner menu. The food was decent, nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either. It was a bit pricy, but that is pretty much normal for Maui. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be wowed either.

This place was ok, nothing exciting. Our group of 8 was seated pretty quickly for happy hour. Ordered the wings, a bunch of the sushi rolls and some mai tais, nothing remarkable... Except for the super hot hostess. :)

4 star happy hour. $3 drinks, get a Mai tai and a good menu of half price apps. Many of the people around me ordered the pita salad, it was a good size Cesare salad on a pita it looked good. The menu also featured oysters, crab cakes, pork tacos etc. .. I ordered the Panko crusted ahi roll. It was good I also got the fish taco .. Not as good. I would go back for happy hour again.

Nicole E.
A year later, and happy hour at Three's is still the best, but wait, yesterday it was even better. How is it possible that I am MORE OBSESSED?! Here's a couple reasons: 1) Live music! From a girl whose name I wish I could remember, but she had a spectacular voice, sweet acoustic guitar abilities, and she could even sing in French! 2) Delicious fresh shucked oysters for $1.50 each... need I say more? Not to mention the kalua pork nachos that I think I had dreams about last night, fresh sushi for days, and enough $3 mai tais to float you away.
Atmosphere: Casual, open-air restaurant with outdoor seating (no views but great for people watching.) One half of the restaurant is known as the "surf lounge" which includes the entertainment stage, bar, high-seated tables, regular tables, and a pretty cool sofa seating area. Food: Complimentary chips & salsa - Good. Not sure what they were made of (possibly pita, but they were a burnt purple color) with salsa for dipping. Hawaiian jambalaya - Okay. Creole rice topped with kalua pork, ginger soy chicken, Portuguese sausage and pepper jack cheese. The rice tasted like Spanish rice, which was disappointing. I couldn't taste the chicken because the kalua pork was very over-powering. There was a small amount of Portuguese sausage and an overkill of pepper jack cheese (like a lasagna topping.) Service: There was only 1 hostess at peak dinner time. Waited about 15 minutes to be seated because she had to help the wait staff set tables. She was obviously multi-tasking but was very professional about it. Our waitress was awesome. Overall: I haven't been here enough to give it a true star rating, the menu really didn't appeal to me. I'd go back to have some cocktails & apps but will probably skip dinner.

We came here with about 20 of us. I ordered the jambalaya, my kids had the sushi and my wife had the pork quesadilla. We were all pleased with our meals. As usual, I tasted everything. I really liked the sauces that came with the quesadilla. The sushi tasted fresh and the rice on it was good. I liked my jambalaya but the texture made it feel like the rice was overlook. It wasn't the best jambalaya but it hit the spot. However it wasn't worth the $22 they charged.

We thought we'd try someplace different in Kihei and realized that their marketing is not congruent with their food. Owners are portrayed to be 3 experienced chefs who have joined to put together this upscale restaurant. Everyone was friendly and the service was great. It's too bad the food did not live up to our expectations. It seemed like the owners had to cut back on portion size to meet budget. This place may fit for others, but not us. Can't recommend it nor will go back.

We enjoyed excellent friendly service...the food was decent and not overly pricey. I'd say good job on the owners. You hired well in what must be a tough labour market.

Update... 1/2013. I finally returned to threes after my last unfortunate experience and I must say the place has dramatically improved for the better!... The hostess was friendly and everyone said hello as we walked to the table. Our server was knowledgeable about the wine list and my red was served at the PErfect temperature for this warm tropical climate! The place was clean and kept again. The crab cakes were delicious!! Absolutely must try if u like tm.. MY fish dish was adapted from the chicken preparation for lunch and I was verrry pleased. I liked the chicken preparation but I wanted fish so they happily subbed for me :) .. I will definitely return again when in MAui and I'm glad things are good again at threes!!!!

I went to Threes for lunch today with a coworker. We both got the daily special, which was the chef's island take on a Cajun oyster Po Boy with shrimp gumbo. He managed to capture the depth and spirit of Cajun and the freshness and exoticism of the island in a fantastic meal. I love Cajun food and his version is amazing.

Service and attention was excellent, server and manager were both totally on top of things! The food was amazing from the crab cake appetizers to the catch of the day, everything was very good! The sauces and preparation was top notch! Am excellent choice for a nice dinner in Kihei!

Last night in Maui and was seeking something "islandy"; stumbled upon this neighborhood eatery and was thoroughly disappointed. From the unenthusiastic greeting at the door to the end of our dining experience, I don't think this place deserves a recommendation. If it wasn't for the attentive busboy and manager who was very helpful, our server lady would have gotten a side of serving etiquette 101 with her zero tip. Even when asked to return my sister and my super late entrees, she basically refused and insisted the food had arrived already. Apparently a table of seven and a tab of (what would have been) well over $100 was not motivation enough to provide the quality service one would need to receive a well deserved 20%+ tip. Our hungry tummies (at 9:15pm) had to move on to the next eatery ... :-/

This place is OK. I ordered hamachi nigiri and the fish was chewy and didn't taste fresh. Then I ordered the volcano roll and it was pretty good. The waitresses aren't really on top of things. Took forever to get drinks and to order more food because they hardly came around. The live music was great tho

After reading good reviews I decided to try Three's. Servers were indifferent, watered down margarita and very bland food. I had the Kalua Pork Nachos. Live music advertised but the stage was empty the whole time I was there. I'm on Maui working and looking for places to take family and friends to eat. I won't be returning!!

I booked a table for 14 people for a 5:15 reservation at 3pm in the afternoon day of. Our table was ready as soon as we got there and everyone was VERY happy with the food. And loved the atmosphere. Our server was awesome! Food and drinks came out very fast considering our groups size! We will definitely be back before we leave!

We had dinner on September 19, that was a terrible experience to dinning in Maui, overall the food was 1 star, Kale salad was good, Sushi roll was okay, but the Ramen was terrible,noodle was rattan,not like Japaneses authentic Ramen that we have in California, this was sort of dry Ramen. if you expect to have good Ramen this is not the place to go. Our waitress I forgot her name, she is a middle age lady with a bad attitude, she ignored us for abut 20 minutes when we set there, we saw her chatting to other table customer for over 20 minutes, then she came over with an evil eyes no greeting no smiling, then she serve our salad with Ramen together, we told her we want salad first then Ramen when we ordered, she start to arguing with us, what kind of server is? We almost leave the table, that was a really bad dinner experience, we ever had. She ruin our dinner, not a mention ruin the restauranteur reputation. We talk to the manager in the store he didn't say a word, not even a apologize, we will never go back again. If you wanna have a good Sushi or roll, I recommend Sansei, they are authentic Japanese restaurant, you can set at the Sushi bar watch Japanese chef prepare your order, their food was great ( 4 starts). Overall the food was 1 star, service was 0 star.

Absolutely outstanding happy hour from 3-6PM! We came here twice during our one week stay on Maui! The happy hour has both food and drinks (including various half-priced appetizers and $3 Mai Tais, among other options). Additionally, the food portions were quite generous, definitely not smaller portions because of the price. The sushi rolls were fantastic! There was live guitar music out on the patio, and the ambiance was terrific. Overall a great place for happy hour.

I wanted sushi after diving all day, and Three's Bar & Grill delivered outstanding choices! I ordered the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, & salmon avocado, as well as a dozen oysters. The prices were very reasonable during happy hour and the rolls were big, with plentiful sashimi and no mayonnaise!!! The staff, while busy, made it a point to offer friendly service, and were very attentive. The outdoor seating was relaxing, and moderately quiet--even though it was packed--everyone was busy enjoying the food and sunset instead of talking. A fantastic establishment to enjoy and not to be missed for a quick meal, or a night out!

There's is awesome. Not only does this establishment offer wonderful live music- seemingly continuously- and a great patio dining atmosphere, but their food is incredible too! Towards the end of our stay on Maui, we decided to go- a friend who had spent some years living in Maui had recommended it, and she was right on. We ended up going for an earlier dinner (reservations highly suggested, but they will work to sit you as quickly as possible) and were delighted by the fantastic happy hour specials (3-6, I think) including drinks (think $3.50 margaritas) and food ($5 sushi anyone?!). We went for sushi, which was all delicious and innovative, and the staff is very knowledgable and can provide great recommendations as well- we liked the California, Hamapeno (no ham, but hamachi and jalapeños), spider and surfer best- all very different and wonderful. The following day, which was our last day, we decided to go again for lunch... And it was a great decision. Music again, morning/afternoon drink specials- love this place. We went with their heirloom country kale salad and added on the ahi tuna, which we highly recommend. The price jumps a bit, but it is so worth it. The flavors and textures are perfection. We also go the coconut shrimp salad which was a different salad altogether- very tropical- but just as enjoyable. I only wish we had more time to spend at Three's, but highly recommend it to anyone spending time in Maui.

The sushi is amazing there. Even the rice they make it with. So fresh and melts in your mouth. The service is great. They offer live entertainment on weekends (maybe more often) and the drinks are great. Love to frequent this place. Enjoy!

Live Jazz music Friday-Sunday, great pupus and happy hour (3-6pm daily) which included half off sushi! Their mai tais were pretty sweet but they have other value drink option. Sundays they serve brunch with $3 mimosas. The food quality wasn't superb but I mean really...who does brunch well at a pupus lounge? Service was great, environment was enjoyable with the earthy feel of a tree growing through the restaurant. Nice patio seating, limited but available. Overall a good go-to for happy hour or a quick bite in Kihei!

Michael S.
Great place in Kihei. The lettuce wrap appetizer was very tasty, and my wife liked the sushi appetizer she ordered. The mac-crusted chicken was a really nice surprise - I liked it a lot. It came out nice and hot and it was really very flavorful. For dessert, we also liked the pineapple upside down cake. Our server was friendly, the food was tasty and reasonably priced, and we were quite happy. We'd come back!

I'd give this place a four star if the prices were more aligned with the food and atmosphere. Overall the food was pretty good, nothing special. The service was great, very kind and helpful servers. I did really like the patio and at night it's a good time. Yeah I'd recommend it to anyone going to Maui but ONLY GO DURING HAPPY HOUR! Oh and the drinks are really good and strong!

Chris H.
Food was awesome!! Server was friendly but was a horrible server. She couldn't remember the special, couldn't pronounce food on the menu, took 35 mins to get us our wine which they were out of so we got our 2nd choice. Didn't even refill our waters after we asked. She left our apps on the table even when the entree came. I'd recommend it for the food alone, but don't expect a good experience from the wait staff.
(2)
Rob C.
Wow, the Kalua pork nacho appetizer was outstanding! The taste was very unique, kinda like a curry flavor. The complimentary chips and salsa featured both corn and potato chips, which is also something unique. For my main dish, I ordered the Hawaiian jambalaya, which was great from the standpoint that the dish and its accompanying sauce were pretty spicy (I love my spicy food, btw). Overall, this was a very memorable dining experience, from the chips and salsa to the entree.

Dru M.
Wanted to give this place a try after reading the reviews and I must say I was disappointed. Service was good. Food was meh. First the appetizer. I had a free appetizer voucher (thanks to yelp) which they did honor...so we ordered the Guava glazed chicken wings...all 8 were under cooked...I'm taking about chewy pink center and very faint blood showing...it's like they slapped it on the grill for 5 mins on a high flame...cooked on the outside and rare in the middle....the sauce was awesome, but the chicken was undercooked. Onto the entrees. My wife ordered the Fresh Fish dish....Mahi Mahi with snap peas and some veggie medley on top with some sort of sauce or lack thereof. The cucumber was bitter, the fish was a little dry, other than that, the sauce and peas were excellent. I ordered the Threes Mixed Grill, which was a trio of filet mignon, macadamia nut crusted chicken, and coconut shrimp. First, the shrimp was awesome...it was topped with some mango chutney...was cooked perfectly and not dry at all. Now, the filet mignon...I'm all good with a steak being broiled or charred on top, but mine was more burnt than charred. I asked for medium rare...it was overcooked...not a bit of juice oozed out of my steak....disappointing. The mac crusted chicken was dry. It had potential if it was cooked right, but it was left in the pan too long...again, disappointing. So maybe there was a different cook tonight...but for the price we paid, we could have had WAY better somewhere else. Parking lot is tight, almost seen a few collisions, live music adds to the vibe, but the so-so food brought it down a few notches.

Not a bad place, the food was quite tasty but the portions left me wanting desert. Not surprising then the lava cake (which was tasty but also small) cost the same as my main.

We ended up going here twice with different people. The crab cakes were great. But the rest of the experience wasn't. Lunch - I had the noodles with the brisket. Though the flavors were great, the meat was like chewing leather. It was the end piece that got over cooked. My friend ordered a salad which the waitress dumped on the floor and partly on my friend. Though it was an accident, no apology was given, never cleaned up the floor (patio) and we had to ask repeatedly for napkins so my friend could clean the dressing off herself. Second time was dinner. Service was very, very slow. Even for Hawaii time. Some of our dishes good others ho hum. You can bet the check came fast. If you are here for a short time, try other places.

Outdoor area is nice for an early dinner. Fusion food. Ordered some sushi rolls, which were ok. Coconut shrimp was alright, not the best I've had. Prices were kind of high for the quality of food, but hey you're in Maui and might as well enjoy eating outdoors and trying some fusion food.

Sandra R.
I love this place!!! I am so bummed we only got there once. Tried to go a couple of times; but other people had the bigger influence, darn it! The mai tai's were $3, along with other drinks and they were good. The food was fabulous!!! They have a special HH menu and the prices are so reasonable I don't know why people complain. Oh wait, because people complain about everything, LOL!! We ordered the quesadillas, which were so good! I love the sauces and cabbage that came with it. I believe it had peanut sauce and something else that made it so tasty. The crab cakes were the bomb!!! So much better than another place where we had some, I almost didn't order them but so glad I did. I almost ordered another plate... We also got a couple of sushi rolls which were tasty good! They had a guy playing guitar and singing along, not too loud, just about right so you could still talk and people watch without being annoyed. We sat outside and they wind blew tree debris at us; but who cares, we're on vacation and that's the least of our worries. When we first walked inside, I recognized two of the owners from the website. It's nice to see them there discussing food. I was so sad to miss HH again but we will be back some day and Three's is on our list for sure!!!

A little loud, but it was also Salsa Thursday. Would highly recommend the appetizer sampler. The fish and chips has an Asian spin, not to be confused with a traditional beer batter fish and chips. Nice choice of beers, with soft drinks to suit nondrinkers. Food is server with homemade tortilla, taro, and potato chips.

Barb W.
I can't say I was overly impressed with this place. I had the crab cake appetizer and they were disappointing - too heavy, not very flavorful, they seemed to be deep fried. The reslish that they were served with was good. Mai tais were very weak. My friend tried different cocktails and really didn't care for any of them, but especially disliked the pina colada. I also had a caesar salad, which was good, but it's hard to mess that up. I'd go back, but I'd skip the drinks and appetizers, and try the ribs my friend had - he said they were very good.

A friend and I vacationed on Maui over the 2013 holiday season. It was out first time out there, and one of the things we noticed was that, though tropical drinks are pretty famous for being super awesome, the drinks we were getting all over the place were completely horrible! There were two places we found Seattle-worthy cocktails in all of our 10-day trip, this place and Star Noodle. Yay, Three's!

As a long resident of Maui I have had the not so best and the absolute worse service and food from Threes. I've tried time and again hoping the staff( mainly the bar staff), and the food quality improve. However as the years go by this place seems to get worse and worse. Last time I went their air conditioner was broken and the bartender stood in conversation with her back turned to us for such a long time that I had to ask for a glass of water emphasizing that I am now sweating and uncomfortable and thirsty and this was just the start to the horrrrrrrible service that day! I asked it the fish on the menu was fresh or frozen. She was quick to reply it's fresh. When I got my dish I took 3 bites and couldn't take another. It was overcooked and just too fishy. The flavor of their sauces is excellent but I didn't come for a plate of Thai chili paste, I wanted a meal! Bummed out even more I begged the manager to pay a bit of attention to my complaint since it wasn't the first it was actually my 4th major disappointing dining experience. You may ask why I return. It is because I live down the street and they have an affordable happy hour and my friends like to try the place while visiting. Their drinks are cheap. Bottom line..... If you're visiting you should go to a nicer place.

We used Three's Bar & Grill as our wedding caterer and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Chef Travis was so friendly and professional the first time we met for our tasting. He was so patient in accommodating our constant changes to the menu and endless back and forth emails. The food was one of the main highlights of our wedding and guests are still raving about the fancy appetizers and delicious prime rib! We also went with some of Three's add-ons like their raw bar chock-full of super fresh sushi and an ice sculpture that will blow your mind. In addition to the awesome food, the service that Three's provided was head and shoulders above the rest. Their chefs, waiters, and bartenders were extremely professional and made the night go so smoothly. I really could go on and on complimenting everything they did for the wedding. If you are looking for the best caterers on the island, Three's is the way to go!

Very nice place in kihei to get dinner! I went for a beer and some nachos and salmon rolls! Very delicious food. I would recommended sitting outside on the patio. When we where there we had some live music which was very nice! A must place to get a bite to eat if your in the kihei area!

Andreea G.
I've been here a few times for happy hour and the food and drinks were ok. Tonight however, I had a disappointing experience and will most likely not be returning, despite the fact that I live just a few minutes away. We walked in to an empty restaurant and were seated on the lanai. We were given regular menus as well as happy hour menus and as we were about to order, we were told that happy hour was only valid inside the restaurant. There was literally no one inside the "lounge" area and there were maybe 3 other tables outside - so we asked the waiter is we could just stay at the table we were initially seated. He refused to serve us the happy hour specials outside and so we has to leave. Ended up at Tiki Bar just a few doors down where we listened to lovely live music and had a few drinks. Seriously though - who turns away customers on a slow night, just because they want to sit outside?! No wonder your restaurant is so empty!

Deducting a star for a lactose interolerance fail. Deducting a star for taking 8-10 minutes to simply bring unbuttered bread to replace buttered bread on top of our already slow service so the sandwich could be eaten. Deducting a star for overall very slow service. Adding a star for making the failed entree free without our even asking. Have had a lot of "lactose intolerant" fails for members of our family of late, so was extra cautious ordering. I think the issue is that the wait staff removes what they think are problem items, like cheese, but fails to communicate to the cooks that the patron is lactose intolerant which could prevent surprises like the bread being buttered (or in some restaurants, a language barrier inhibits communication). WIthout these fails, would have been 5 stars. Entrees were very delicious, sides were very good, live music was great, and the ambience was very nice, staff were pleasant.

Rober N.
By far the worst breakfast that I have ever paid for. I ordered the stuffed French toast, and it was literally 2 pieces of bread with what tasted like regular cheese between them. The bread didn't taste or appear to be French toast but toasted in a toaster. I thought I was eating a grilled cheese rather than French toast. I also order poached eggs, and they were all over cooked.

This quickly became our daily happy hour place. Patio is nice with quiet live music. Food is really good. Appetizers cheaper during happy hour. Note they aren't serving lunch or dinner between 4&5.. But happy hr starts at 3, in time to get lunch as well, and ends @6. To get dinner if you prefer.

Three's Bar & Grill was a wonderful dining experience in every aspect. We were thrilled with the secluded outdoor seating. The server was prompt and helpful. Everyone's food from appetisers to desserts was outstanding. What a treasure in the heart of Kihei.

I had an unpleasant experience with the server, Molly. She allowed a table of 6 people next to me order off the happy hour menu but told me I could not when i asked for a salad on that menu. The food was average - atmosphere was nice on the patio. Definitely needs some customer service training and will not eat here in the future or recommend.

The lineup at the kihei cafe was so long we went here and I'm so glad we did. We sat on the patio and had a one man band playing really nice music next to us. Nice breeze and we ordered Mahi Mahi eggs Benny and I built a veggie omelet with eggs white and whole wheat toast. It was all excellent and cooked perfectly. The service was fantastic and they even provided us their wifi password :) It was our favourite breakfast place on Maui. Would definitely go of you like higher quality food and are used to good service.

Kiki M.
A friend recommended this restaurant and told us it was behind some tacky tourist shops and yes, it was. But the food (during happy hour 3:00-6:00 pm) was wonderful and the service was friendly and timely. We had the coconut shrimp, spicy tuna, crusted ahi. All three were fresh and very good! I had a margarita which was above average and my husband had some Long Boards. The only slight disappointment was the turkey lettuce wraps. Not awful, but everything else was SO great. For 3 beers, a margarita and four appetizers it was $40, unheard of in Wailea/Kihei. We wil be going back! Also, live music of a guitarist playing and singing Hawaiian music. Definitely go here!

Came here on a slow Sunday night. One of the chef/owners greeted us at the door. My partner Gina is allegic to chipotle and some of our menu picks had it in the sauces. He told us he could prepare those dishes with the chipotle sauces on the side. We had the coconut prawns and meat filled lettuce wraps. Everything was super flavorful and the service couldn't have been better.

This review is for Three's catering, I haven't actually been to their restaurant. My sister recently got married at Olowalu plantation and used Three's as her caterer. We live in Cali so all planning (which I helped) was done via phone & email. This was by far my favorite vendor. Chef Travis was extremely easy to work with, very responsive and very helpful with suggestions besides the food. My sister will probably write her own review,but just wanted to say what a great job you guys did! Oh, and the food was DELICIOUS! :) i was sad i missed some of the appetizers, but what i did have - coconut shrimp & ahi tuna i loved. for the meal which was buffet style, i LOVED the lilikoi butter and the mahi mahi. everything overall was good, but those are some of the stuff that stood out. The only complaints I'd have for them is that my table didnt get served cake. I eventually had some though after asking of the the servers. The servers were also on top of their game and went around filling wine glasses & waters. Overall, i would recommend them to everyone!

We ate here for lunch and dinner yesterday, and plan on going for happy hour later this evening. The food was incredible. Some of the best we've ever had. The flavor combinations were all very unique, surprising, and spot on. One of the chefs was walking around, talking to patrons, and the service from everyone was great. Best food I've ever had in the dozen years I've been coming to Maui.

We went there for dinner. I had the Hawain Jambalya and my wife had the special. Both were amazing. The best part, Devon our server, was top notch. Pleasant and confident. We waited for nothing. the only annoying thing was the hostess...spacey. However, the food and the actual waitstaff are top notch.

Three's Bar and Grill is a premier restaurant located in Kihei Kalama Village Shopping Center. Their service is out of this world! Once you walk into this place, you will find it to be luxurious and resort like. The owners take great pride in the work they do there. The staff have been trained really well and they really take care of you while you're there. Their menu is small, but really awesome! I have had their sushi and have to say it is much better then Sansei and Kobe. One thing on their menu you have to try is their ever so scrumptious Chicken Roullade! That is my all time fave there. Their bread pudding with bananas rum foster is awesome too. Jaron and Travis do an wonderful job there. Plus the live entertainment they have there nightly is awesome too! Past 9 PM, they are a wonderful night club to just hang out at. You don't have to drink to enjoy great music. Support local musicians and the staff there. When you go there ask for Kaitlin or Renee, those two are awesome servers.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST SHRIMP SCAMPI I HAVE EVER HAD. Seriously. Unbelievably bad. The steak was ok, but I cannot stress enough how bad it tasted, tough to describe but basically like chewing in the white part of lemon peel soaked in lemon juice, bitter lemony in battery acid. In fact, the shrimp was so bad it ruined the rest of the meal to the point that we left without finishing anything. To end on an up note, the service was very friendly.

This restaurant, located in the older section of Kihei, just the other side of Kalama Beach Park, was a nice spot among a cluster of businesses, just off the Pacific Ocean....It had a carefree , happy hourish feeling to it, as music played not only from there , but from nearby restaurants as well...I had the flank steak with mashed potatoes and vegetable....I know...I know...I am in Maui, and this is a sushi and seafood place....but I was hungry for steak and potatoes.....service was great and outdoor seating area was a well......well worth a stop when in Kihei....

Three's was OK. Nothing really great about it, the food was just so-so. Our waiter was nice but the whole place just didn't come together for me, nothing stood out to make me want to come back. My lava flow was more like a smoothie with hardly any alcohol. It was on the expensive side and not worth the high price in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this place! Nothing fancy, located just off the beach frontage road next to a touristy shopping spot. But it has a local feel after spending a week in Wailea. We sat outside on the deck (the only way to go) under shade trees. And they have OYSTERS!!!!! Really amazing oysters. This alone is worth the trip. They also have good Sushi and plenty of other choices including a kids menu. Friendly service, great prices. What more can you ask for? I'll be back.

Love the Happy Hour... A must try is the Nachos.. They were nothing like we've ever had before... We ended up going 2 days in a row just for them... The sushi is good... 1/2 price during happy hour... a great deal!! and $3 Mai Tais.. Gotta love it.

Made reservation as recommended.Arived to be greeted by a unfriendly hostess that could care less about our reservation.Wanted to have drink in bar,and wait for outdoor seating,but convinced to sit indoors.Service was good,food was good,not exceptional for prices.Need more variety on menu,especially for seafood.

I helped plan a wedding last weekend where Three's was the catering company. I cannot say enough GOOD things about this restaurant/caterer. BEST food I've had at a wedding! Also the staff was incredible!!!!!!! What an amazing experience. All the guests at the wedding were raving about the food and I was sooo happy with the service! Two thumbs up to these guys! Everyone should try this place!!!

My husband and I were vacationing in Kihei last week. We went on yelp looking for local place to go and have a good dinner. We are so happy that we found this place! The food was amazing! It was so good we went back two nights in a row. The Maui Maui dish was so good and the sauce was mouth watering. We also had the crab cakes and they were equally as good. Earlier that week we had gone to Mama's Fish House (which was good), but Three's blew Mama's away! I highly recommend eating here.

My husband and I went to Threes for lunch on Monday July 15 the food was good and the service was also good. We we there looking for a restaurant to host 15 of our friends for dinner the next evening. We spoke to the host and made our reservations for Tuesday at 5:30 and specifically requested to sit outside so we could enjoy the music and the beauty of the evening. When we showed up on Tuesday evening they had a table for us, but it was inside the bar. They said they called us to let us know, but they didn't. Trust me they didn't my husband ALWAYS has his cell phone. So we expressed our disappointment and they said sorry, you can go elsewhere! So, we did. We went over to the Tiki Hut who gladly took our business , enjoyed good food and good service. When we left we spent $400.00. Since Threes is more expensive we would have easily spent at least $600. We were there for only 1/12 hours. Management I hope you read this because this is bad management!

The first turn off is the waitress with the pierced face and attitude. She was rude rushing us to the table. Did not even wait for us as she walked away to show us our table. The other was the fact that we asked for water. (now with a different waitress) Still did not get water after requesting it three times. And when I had my coffee refilled she spilled it and did not even wipe the table clean (Pierced waitress). After exactly 40 minutes of waiting food still did not come. I should have known something was wrong when the waitress came back to confirm our order (nearly 25 minutes later). I did notice the table next to us; one of the patrons ordered the same breakfast steak as I. They came after us and got his steak before me! So we ended up leaving and spending our money at Kihei Cafe. There, I got my steak in less than 10 minutes just the way I like it. Now I'd like to give Three's the benefit of the doubt. It's just that no one, not even the manager, came out to at least offer an explanation or to apologize. We may try them again but lunch at Three's is a no-go.

Tradition for me and my daughter to have a nice dinner before she returns to college. 1. They give you free sweet potato chips, but it didn't match w/ the salsa. 2. Spicy tuna nachos had to be sent back because...they forgot to put the spicy tuna on it. 3. Waiter apologized that he forgot to bring my $10.00 cocktail, but I wish he didn't remember because they used way too much bottled lime juice so I could only finish $5.00 worth. 4. The furikake crusted sashimi only has 4 thin pieces with a mound of shredded daikon and carrots. Daughter said, really? 4 pieces of fish? We had to wait to flag down the waiter to ask him for shoyu and a litlt dish to mix the wasabi. They really should have put more pieces and just charged more for it. But then again good thing they didn't, She ate 1 piece and asked me to taste one piece and we both agreed it tasted old, so she couldn't eat the last 2 pieces. 5. The lettuce wraps were tasty, even though the consistency of the filling was fine, rather than chunky. There was no spoon to scoop the juicy filling or the sweet chili sauce, but I was too tired stopping the waiter to ask for something else. But I ate the whole thing, it was just like P F Changs,only cost a couple bucks more. I mentioned to the manager that he better check on the sashimi they were using cause it tasted old, and he took it off our bill. But that was really little consolation to an evening I was hoping to be decent for my last dinner with my daughter. It would be the same thing for tourists who only have a few days here to have it wasted

This was the best meal we've had so far after a week in Maui, really. You hear "bar and grill" and don't think nice restaurant, but this had both. We came without reservations and got sn inside table. Outside looked even better but they were full...however, inside was nice. They have a specific restaurant side, which was much quieter. The service was spectacular, our server Sarah was helpful and attentive without being overbearing. A couple chefs stopped by our table to personally check how we liked our meal. And the food!! Some of the best hummus I've had with fresh made pita chips, a very interesting tropical salad (two of us shared one small one, could have even split 3 ways it was so big). The mister had the ahi tuna, which is not my thing but he said it was excellent. The beans that came on the side, perfectly sauteed in toasted sesame oil, were so fresh they must have been picked today. I was very happy with my shrimp pasta dish, though. It was tasty and the perfect portion...not skimpy, but not too much like so many pasta dishes. (half the price of shrimp at Sarento's and three times as many shrimp). We shared a triple chocolate mousse dessert, which was again both delicious and decadent, but not too heavy. Really outstanding place, we were SO glad we tried it.

This place is the best food in Kihei! I recently moved to Kihei and have tried over a dozen spots. This is the only place I've found that serves fresh modern food at the same prices as all the other places. Entree's are 20-30 dollars same as other places in Kihei for dinner but WAY better. They also have a raw bar with awesome prices like $6-13 for sushi rolls and $9 for ceviche. I had their flat iron steak with Banana Whipped Molokai Purple sweet potatoes... I'd go back just for those! YUM! I've been there a couple times already and will continue to go back. A must try!

The service was lousy and the meals overpriced. I stopped here with some friends late in the evening and ordered the Chicken Roulade. I figured I was ordering something simple but was not pleased by what the waitress brought out from the kitchen.

We had a fun, romantic dinner on the porch. We really didn't mind overlooking the parking lot, though it made us laugh once or twice. It was a nice, chill vibe. Our waiter was very friendly and steered us towards good choices. The ahi avocado roll was a yummy appetizer. The edamame-macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi was perfect. My husband had the steak plate, which was pretty good too. I was shocked to hear this place has only been open for three months. Usually a place takes waaaay longer to get it's sh*t together.

Devin and Josh were great. During our week in Maui they gave the best service that we had received anywhere. They were very friendly, professional and helpful. Devin was very prompt with our service making sure our glasses and chip bowl were always full. He was very courteous and professional. The panko roll was tasty. The entree was delcious. In spite of being absolutely delicious, the food was very pricey. Great place. Would definitely return to eat.

Wife and I went there on Wednesday night, which was recommended for their comedy show. Turned out to be not very good at all. What seemed to be the host comedian, passed the mike on to any room guests that wanted to try to tell their jokes, like karaoke. But not very good at all. Worst part of this unpleasant experience was the very loud crowds in the room that totally ignored there were people trying to hear what was going on. Like people having their own loud parties going on the the same room in different areas. Felt sorry for those taking the mike, cause they didn't have a chance with this loud and inconsiderate crowd. Finished our drink and left. Won't ever go back.

I gave this place 5 stars because I want to see it STAY!!!! The atmosphere alone is worth 5 stars. You have 4 different dining options, which makes it great for everyone! You can sit outside on the patio under the shade trees for a more happy hour/casual feel or you can sit in the dining area (for more of a traditional formal feel) or you can sit @ the sushi bar or you can sit in MY FAVORITE area; the surf lounge/living room area! This place has a great setup & comfortable feel, in the lounge they have live music, a full bar and a bunch of leather couches & coffee tables set up like separate living room areas for small groups to eat dinner or much on pupus & drinks family style (tables are also located around the entire room) there is NOT a bad seat in the house....they have flat panel TVs playing amazing surf videos. This place is great for locals and tourists alike. You can dress up or roll in from the beach...! The food is local and fresh. They have a unique menu. Very clean style....I noticed they use all square white plates from Pier One :) They have a great Happy Hour--1/2 price pupus & select drinks. They have Tuesday night 1/2 off sushi. They have a 4 course prefix menu for $33 between 5-6pm. They are always changing their menu to showcase the local foods. LOVE that they serve fresh hummus while you wait for your food. I love the unique vibe this place has!

I've been to this restaurant on numerous occasions, mainly for happy hour, dinner, and nightly entertainment. The food is great, I'm a fan of the quesadillas, chicken roulade, ceviche, nachos, and panko encrusted ahi roll. I haven't dared venture outside of my comfort zone in fear of finding something I might not like. I'm a creature of habit, and the selections written about here are consistently good. The quesadillas are made with this fabulous BBQ pulled pork, mango salsa and a spicy aioli that is to die for. Not too cheesy, not too greasy, just right and oh so filling and satisfying. The Chicken Roulade is AMAZING, one of the best dishes on the menu, until I find something else. Think of it as chicken cordon bleu, but instead of ham, you have Portuguese sausage, pepper jack cheese, mushrooms and other delights stuffed inside a tender, well cooked piece of chicken atop a purple mashed potato/banana puree. Delicious! Three's just recently added nachos to their menu and they are oh so tasty. And the tomatillo salsa that comes with it, amazing. Great job guys! The Ceviche is great, lots of seafood, great flavor and the plantains that come with it really enhance the flavor. And finally the panko encrusted ahi roll with a Thai curry butter sauce - yummy! I can eat the sauce by the spoonful. This restaurant would get 4 stars, but I'm giving 3 because of the horrible service, even when they aren't even busy, which is UNACCEPTABLE. If I'm spending my time and money at your establishment, I want the servers to be on top of their game and not disappear for long periods of time. If my drink is empty, ask me if another is desired. I will continue to order if you are speedy, which will pad your tip ;) With that said, the staff is very friendly, yet they have no clue how to serve tables. On multiple occasions, I sit at the table for 10 minutes (sometimes more) without water, a menu, or eating utensils. And once your food is placed in front of you, the server disappears into the empty restaurant and doesn't return. If it wasn't for the food and the ambiance, I would not return because of the service. If the owners are reading this, work with your servers to be more attentive because this is the only area that you are lacking in.

Loved this place last year and ate there 3 times in a week. They were friendly, the food sophisticated, the service excellent. They handled my husband's Celiac disease with knowledge and attention. That was last year. We ate there last night. We had reserved a table on the lanai. When we arrived there were multiple parties waiting and no host/hostess in sight for 5 minutes. The party they sat before us were clearly given our table as they offered us a table in the lounge. We declined and were given a table on the back porch in full earshot of the loud dance band...entertaining to watch but not what we had in mind for a quiet dinner for 4. Our server greeted us with the dessert specials for the night. Yes, the DESSERT specials. She left menus and came back about 10 minutes later and took our drink order, appetizer order, and dinner order all at once. Or tried to. She was stymied by questions about the dishes and in spite of the menu stating clearly to ask about Gluten Free options available she was clueless. We asked her to ask the kitchen what was safe but when she returned she could only say that the fish special was probably okay. She seemed confused, or perhaps disinterested, that Celiac disease is not a preference it is a food allergy. The 2 glasses of wine, 1 beer, and 1 iced tea took a half hour to come. The appetizers arrived shortly thereafter and all were good. The manager, Jaron, came to ask us if all was well and when we told him about the server he said he would make sure we left happy that night. Our entrees arrived. The jambalaya and the ahi were both good, the fish sandwich was fine but the french fries were clearly frozen and nothing special. (and not hot) My husband's steak, at $34.95 was thin and bland. Jaron offered us dessert on the house to make up for the terrible service but when the bill came he had only comped one of the 4 desserts. When it was brought to his attention he agreed to adjust the bill...but then only took 3 of the desserts off. At any rate, he didn't seem particularly concerned about our experience although he did give us 2 coupons for a free appetizer with 2 entrees...but we would have to agree to potentially sacrifice another dinner and another $190.00 to use them. It is a shame when a restaurant is run as if vacationers either don't know the difference between a badly served meal and a well served meal, or their stay will be so fleeting they wouldn't come back any way.

Go to the happy hour here! 3-6 pm and half off some truly excellent appetizers. Had Panko- crusted ahi tuna and avocado sushi roll in a spicy mustard sauce. Delicious! we also had lettuce wraps that were also very good. If you are in Kihei, you have to try this place. We sat out on the patio, had some margaritas ($3) and watched a gorgeous sunset. Can't ask for a better deal than that.

Came here for happy hour, drinks are very tasty, but not near as big as some of the near by places, for the same prices. We had the kahlua pig quesadilla which was full of flavor, however it is originally $11 then half off for happy hour, which would be the only way I would spend $5.50 on that amount on the small half size quesadilla. I had a good experience, but probably won't come here again.

My husband saw the menu for Three's on the way to Pita Paradise the other day and had been wanting to try it. I was skeptical because of the curious number of 5 star reviews from newbie yelpers. We made a reservation in the afternoon but no one mentioned that they did not have their liquor license so BYOB. It would have been nice to bring a bottle of wine from the house . I must have been sitting on the other side of the computer from the last reviewer. I was literally hitting my head on it and asked to move the table. Our waiter obliged and helped us. I think that they were crowded because they could not use their patio space due to windy weather. It would have been better to have people wait a bit rather than jam them in so tightly. The menu has potential but needs some fine tuning. Salad that comes with the dinner was very small. There were 3 salads on the menu but only 2 choices come with the dinner. Busboy had us keep our forks from the salad to use for our entrees. Poor form for an alleged 5-star joint. My dinner was good but my husband's blackened fish was sauteed to a light brown. Bread was a bit dry, maybe stale?? The waiter and server were very nice and eager to please. This place has a lot of promise but it is not there yet. I would give them some time to get it together and try it again. The staff seemed to want input to help them improve. I think that they will.

My family ate here after a dinner rehearsal for our wedding. The food was delicious. The servers were very professional and friendly. The manager even came out and greeted us and ensured every couple of hours that we were doing fine It was such a beautiful setting. There wasn't enough seats for everyone to sit at tables but our family made do. The pictures on the walls were amazing! The even brought out an additional dish for us to eat later on in the evening. I guess we were pretty hungry. The drinks were awesome too. My family was very pleased with the service provided.

Three's appears to want to be a hip, forward-thinking, foodie restaurant in the resort town of Kihei on Maui. While it lives up to some of these aspirations, the service and ambiance during our visit were so poor as to completely kill the experience. I can't remember being in a restaurant where the floor was as poorly managed as this. We were seated in a far corner of one of the two outside areas by ourselves when we entered. We were so far away our server didn't appear to be aware we were there. Some time later they began to seat parties larger than the tables ("four tops") would accommodate next to us so that no one, including the servers could access us or the other parties. One group was about a dozen surfer lads and ladies who seemed out of step with the joint. When we did finally order, our food came out in reverse to what is the customary order. We got our entree, then an appetizer, then a salad. The food was terrific, but the service was, honestly, bizarre. We couldn't understand why the rest of the indoor seating area was so poorly utilized (and full we were told) and the other outdoor area less than half full but we we crammed in a smaller outdoor area with about two dozen others. There are quite a lot of eating options in South Maui, especially immediately adjacent to this restaurant. I would not recommend Three's when dining out there.

Went here a couple of times - breakfast and lunch. Staff are very friendly. Located in a busy restaurant row in Central Kihei. Nothing outstanding on the menu and most of the food is okay, and price is no better/worse than other spots. Some problems - 1. they ran out of potato fries early lunch (HOW DO YOU DO THAT??? Isn't there a market locally to buy potatoes and make fresh or is everything from frozen?); 2. they ran out of bagels at breakfast (HUH! So had to go with bread). 3. we were swatting flies when dining outside and so on subsequent visits sat inside.

Had a great meal here on a Thursday night, which it also turns out is open mike night. The music starts around 9. I only stayed for the first three acts as I had to be up fairly early, but they were all actually pretty good. The Uku special with eggplant was delicious, as was the chocolate mousse that the super-nice bartender recommended. The special was $31 and more expensive than most items on the menu that featured what I'd describe as reasonable for Hawaii prices. Like Nicole S., I was very happy with the $3 mai tai, although it's half the size of the $7.50 regular mai tai and without the pineapple wedge. The happy hour mai tais are available before 6 or after 9. Also, they do have wi-fi, although the business info here says they don't.

We ended up here one night when we couldn't get a table anywhere else but I don't think I'd land on Three otherwise. The staff was generally nice, but our server seemed a bit confused about the menu, and threw us off a bit when she told us none of the sushi was made with fresh fish. We still got sushi assuming she misspoke, but it wasn't wonderful, so maybe she was just being honest. The dressing on our salads was great and the musician who played had some solid 90s covers = two stars!

Awesome patio with relaxing live music. Partner thought it was a John Mayer CD. Pulled pork nachos were nice, as were the ribs. I like a sweet BBQ sauce, so this hit the nail on the head for me. Date enjoyed his seared ahi. Service was friendly and attentive.

Had breakfast here... omelette with the potatoes. Not bad, not great. My date had the eggs benedict (my first time having it!) - they serve it on a french baguette slice instead of the English muffin. I really liked it! Tasted great. But it was my first time trying eggs benedict. Date said English muffin is better. The reason I'm rating this as a 4 is because the staff is really friendly, down to earth, and the restaurant is at a nice location. Perfect for a Sunday morning meal!

Not good . Soggy bread bland food . Bar food at best. Salad was bad . Brown and not fresh. Fish was OK at best . Wait staff was nice but 2 hostess girls did not even acknowledge us when we walked in . Finally had to say hello . They were so busy talking lol. There is another restaurant behind threes upstairs . Ate there and was amazing . Think Its Rita or some girls name. I find all food so far in Hawaii is way below what I am use to .

Worst service on the island. Lots of attitude, Dingy bartenders that are either high or drunk during their shift. Pour a good draft beer but mixed drinks are a two count. Rather chat up the bus boy, then check to see how everything is. Napkin? Nope... Silverware? Nope... I'm really not one to complain much but this place has been open over a year / maybe two and this will definitely be my last time giving them time to iron things out. Thanks Holly! ;) if customer orders one of something and you bring two orders of it... Don't argue "I heard 2, so I know it was 2".

We went for dinner on a very slow tuesday night. The outside seating was at 50% but we were told that it was going to be a 25mins wait. We assumed there were people waiting in the bar. After 25 mins the situation was the same. We approached the waitress again and then she said another 20mins. When we asked why she said "the service is slow because we only have one person serving the patio". Then we took off. I don't want to imagine this place on a busy friday night. Definitely as others pointed out, this place needs customer service training urgently. A shame because the menu looked nice.

What a great place for happy hour! Love the $3.00 Mai Tai's. the menu is very different but really great food. The sushi rolls were really unique and the nachos were great as well. We were definitely bummed we discovered this at the end of our trip. We would have loved to go back to try more!

Nice location. Ate on the patio, nice setting. Chips and salsa served free of charge were very good. Sweet potato, regular potato and tortilla mix. Had coconut shrimp appetizer - was very good -but a little too much sauce on them. I prefer to dip and make my own ratio of shrimp to sauce instead of having it decided for me. Macadamia nut crusted chicken was also very good. I'd dine here again.

We arrived here on our last day in Maui- that day after we checked out of our condo at noon and had all day to hang out before our flight left at night. We got there at about 2:45 and waited in the Kalama Village area watching the chickens roam and the Koi pond waiting on happy hour to start. It was worth the wait. This place has the best happy hour in Kihei, IMO with half price appetizers that are actually reasonably priced, which is a rarity in Maui. We had the Kahlua pork nachos, which were awesome- maybe the best nachos I have ever had. The drinks were full strength and the beer was cold. The place was packed for 3pm, so the service was a little slow, but that was a small nitpick based on the half price, excellent appetizers and nice atmosphere. Definitely worth it for happy hour!

Walking along Khei and Chance upon Three's Bar & Grill. Remembered Reading about this Restaurant from a Maui Book as a Gem. Thought of Checking the Menu and while deciding. A Nice Tanned Hostess (Heather) Approached us and explained everything in Detail. She just sold me the Idea about the 4 main Course !!! The Server Approached our table Thanking us for choosing this Restaurant....She explained almost everything in Detail that we cant wait to taste the Food. Our Server (Rayel) Speaks about the Menu with Confidence.. Chef Jarod Checks on each table asking how their doing...HIs a modest person Just asking how's everything doing ( My Friend is quick to check the Restaurant Site and told me his the Chef !! Id Highly Recommend this restaurant as a Real Gem. They treat each customer as OHANA !! Things that you don't experience at the Mainland? you'll Experience it here...FOOD, Simplicity of the Restaurant and most of all the People Who works here will let you Feel the ALOHA Spirit !!! Mahalo to Heather and Rayel !!!

Upon arrival in Kihei, and starving for lunch, we happen upon Three's Bar. They have an outdoor patio with live music that caught our attention, and we hoped would distract our 1.5 yr old enough that we can enjoy a meal. Decent reviews on yelp and a free appetizer with a check-in so we decided to try. Unfortunately the minute we sat down the musician started his 45-min break! understandable, but as a tip, music could be played while he's on break. We had the Kalua Pork Nachos appetizer. The flavors were amazing, but tasted over-cooked. The chips were noticeably burnt. The entrees were better, The fresh fish dish my BF could not stop raving about. and the Kalua pulled pork sandwich was on point, but I was already stuffed from the nachos. I would have had dessert, but was informed the lava cake souffle would take 25 mins. If the server would of mentioned this when our food was set down, I would have definitely ordered. As we got the check, the musician came back and the music started again. Our son enjoyed a song and it was time for us to move on. 4-stars if they had music while we were there, 5 if the nachos weren't burnt and the dessert didn't take so long.

We saw this place on our way to the Tiki Lounge, and definitely wanted to come back and try it. It was beautiful string lights outside, and the vibe at night was awesome. We were back the next day for happy hour. I was a bit disappointed by the happy hour. We arrived at about 4pm, and it wasn't too busy. The live music was calming and definitely my style. We checked out the happy hour menu, and weren't too excited about anything on it, so we decided we would get drinks and have dinner. Unfortunately, at that time, the happy hour menu was all they were serving. I was disappointed about that. They had a decent selection of drinks for happy hour, but the only speciality cocktail they had for happy hour was the mai tai and a margarita. My boyfriend and I ordered the coconut shrimp, crab cakes, and sweet and spicy lettuce wraps. The food was all good, especially the crab cakes, but I've had better food elsewhere on Maui. My boyfriend had a blonde ale, which he liked, and I had the garota de ipanema (a light pina colada) with the lava flow twist, which I thought was too liquid-y and too strong. I probably wouldn't come back here on my next visit, but I'm glad we tried it out.

If it weren't for a coupon I would not have ever thought to go here. The crab cakes were good however it was downhill from there. A simple hamburger came out bloody raw. The manager came out and apologized and offered us a free dessert which was nice but I still wouldn't return here.

I've only been to the happy hour, so am giving Three's four stars for that. After a day at the beach, sitting on their patio, drinking $3 Mai Thai's is total bliss. They have delicious 1/2 price apps and it's a great place to people watch. Get there early, or you'll be seated on the back patio, which is still nice, but not quite as much fun. Awesome fresh sushi, homemade sweet potato nachos and stiff, cheap drinks! A great addition to any vacation. What's not to love?!
(4)
RY K.
It's really hit or miss with the food items. Sushi is usually pretty good as well as a few of the apps. I like the flatbread, but have got it with stale bread and a small wilted lettuce salad before... So like I said, hit or miss. Had the Ono special last night, Ono was cut super thin and char grilled beyond fish recognition. Super dry!! Also had the bread pudding and this was really bad. I love bread pudding and mix it with "bananas fosters" and it should be out of this world. Ugh, for $13 it was the driest, lamest bread pudding I have ever had. And the bananas fosters part was hard, stick to your teeth Carmel with few fresh bananas and the smallest scoop of average ice cream ever. Super lame! Oh well, I am sure I will be back regardless, few choices on Maui and that's how restaurants here stay open, what can I say. Hopefully I will get them on a good day next time :-)

We ate here 4 nights out of 12 on our vacation in Kihei. We loved the food. Always fresh & thoughtfully prepared. Mainly had all their salads- wonderful, suschi [always got the sushi appetiizer] & the special fish of the day. Service is friendly, attentive & informed. It's a great neighborhood feel of owners who take pride in their business. Def one of the best on Maui w/o any tourist hype.

Great atmosphere with a nice patio and live music! We had four sushi rolls and thought it was some of the best on the island. Definitely worth the stop!

My husband I and I really loved this place! We got in the night before super late and woke up hungry and stumbled upon Threes the next morning! What an awesome little place! My husband ordered theirs Eggs Benedict and loved it and my steak and eggs were great! You can't say much bad about a place that gives you a drink menu with breakfast! Trashed Tea gets a thumbs up from me! We will definitely be making it a stop whenever we visit Maui again!

Saw a write up about this in one of the local weeklies and liked the idea so we gave it a try for lunch. Great location, nice and shady patio. There was live music on the patio so we sat there. He was a local who had some friends eating there as well and there was a lot of banter...made you feel like you were at someone's house for a BBQ. Good music and one of the friends also came up and played. I could have sat there all afternoon! The food...meh rating. I had the shrimp and penne. My son the chicken Caesar salad. I believe the menu said my order came with a small salad, which I did not get. The pasta was overlooked/soft and the lemon sauce, while tasty, was very oily. There was no chicken at all on my son's salad. The party next to us sat down and inquired about the special listed on the outside banner, which their server did not know about and neither did we even though we asked her if there were any specials. Turned out it was a brew and burger or wine and burger. Or something like that, it was hard to see driving out of the lot. We would have opted for that if we had known! I bet this place is fun for happy hour.

The mai tais were only $3 during happy hour and were delicious. Appetizers were also affordable and really good. The live music on the lanai was great!

The most original meal we've eaten. A hidden gem. From the chips to the ribs, added infused flavor. A blend of different flavors combine for a delicious meal.

The live music here during brunch was just amazing! I was here on Wednesday and really enjoyed the Stay Eazy band. They have a great sound and super laid back. I think they are here on Wed and Thurs. I also liked my wasabi Bloody Mary too :)

This review is for their happy hour. The, place was pretty empty, but it was 9pm on a Sunday night, so I'm not surprised. We had the pork quesadilla, the panko crusted ahi roll, and the chicken satay. Oh, and a bunch of mai tais, all very inexpensive and all served in a really nice room by an attentive waitress.

Decided to check this place out because of the public advertising. Big mistake! Went in, no hostess or staff, tried to make our way to the lounge for happy hour, no seats. Waited by the hostess stand only to be passed by 2 employees who looked right through the 4 of us as if we knew where to go. After finally being seated, the server arrived, and as if we were a big inconvenience to her, said her spiel as if she's said it a million times. Didn't write our drink order down and guess what, drinks came out wrong. Came back, took our order, didn't write that down either, made us re confirm the order, and guess what? She forgot part of our order right after we said it. Told us the kitchen was closing and if we wanted anything else we had to get it this minute. Very unprofessional way of saying it. Anyway, the food came out. Crab cakes were more like deep fried batter with a hint of crab on a pile of cabbage/mayo (not even coleslaw consistency) with a drizzle of sweet Thai chili and a wilted piece of lettuce, topped off with a dark brown slop i think was supposed to be ginger. Very tough and in appetizing. Sushi was teeny- tiny, I found better at foodland! The Panko ahi roll was submerged in a thick sauce that overpowered their some what of a kabayaki glaze. The thinly sliced ahi in the center was pink, not red like ahi should be, most likely previously frozen n thawed. A bad business choice to try and replicate such a awesome dish from sanseis sushi bar (which is not even 200 yards away) . The coconut shrimp was just like box of frozen butterfly shrimp at Costco with coconut flakes added on. This was also tough n hard to chew. Sauce used on this was boring, could have used something other than the "store bought" sweet Thai chili. Served on that warm mayo/cabbage thing they call coleslaw. With the plop of brown "ginger" on top. Throughout the service, there were no managers in slight either. Servers doing their paperwork on the table right next to us. Cooks n dishwashers walking throughout the seating areas with their plastic aprons on. Clearly showing they were closing up and wanted to go home. And to top it off our server was wearing all too revealing booty shorts, very unprofessional!! Not very appetizing seeing butt cheek jiggles and cellulite stomp away to put your greasy food order in. Don't get me wrong, having worked in the food industry there are things that irritate everyone including the guests. But this was beyond irritating to us. Sassy service, unprofessional environment, and terrible food!

Great service. From being greeted to the waitress. Why a 1? The food was TERRIBLE. We started with the ground turkey lettuce wraps, which were a mediocre at best. I had the seared ahi and my friend had the fish sandwich. The entire Ahi plate was bad. From the frozen, COLD vegetables to the fishy, cold ahi. I took one bite and couldnt even take a second. For $27, I didnt expect that. The staff was great about the entire situation and took ahi off the bill., My friend seemed to like the fish sandwich okay. Although she mentioned that the fries were burned. (which they were. YUCK I, personally will never dine at Threes again for the food. I will go back and enjoy their drinks and nightlife though!

Went here for happy hour and loved everything! The oyster shooters were fresh, the sushi was tasteful, the shrimp was flavorful, drinks were refreshing. On top of that the service was great, we had several servers waiting on us to make sure we had everything AND there was excellent live music. The only regret was that I found this place on my last day in Maui!

We went three nights in a row...seemed fitting. Each night we ordered the Panko encrusted ahi tuna roll. It just doesn't get any better than this. Served with a Thai curry butter sauce, it keeps bringing us back. The first night we also had Kahlua Pork nachos on sweet purple potato chips. They are as great as everyone says. The second night, we ordered the chicken satay...the sauce served on the side tasted like BBQ sauce...avoid that and stick with the asian soy sauce it is cooked in. On the third night, we also had the tekki maki (tuna) roll. Great! Great! Great! As you can see, we're hooked. If you get there between 4:00 and 6:00, all of the above are 50% off (and more). They also have a nice selection of drinks (beer, mai tais and well drinks) for $3.

This is one of the better places In Kihei. They do an Asian-fusion type of menu. The bloody Mary's are excellent, if you like them spicy. The Loco Moco comes with a huge beef Patty smothered in gravy with a couple eggs over rice. Basically a whole days worth of calories in one delicious meal. They also have great crab cakes, fresh oysters and some fancy maki rolls that are worth trying. I really like this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in South Maui.

Rachel D.
Excellent Happy Hour! Very reasonable - $3 margarita, mai tais, beer, and well drinks. They had a great happy hour menu with a variety of options. I highly recommend the pork nachos. They also have great sushi. The atmosphere was very comfortable and mellow. We sat on the deck and listened to the live music. Great prices, great selection, good food, good vibe. GO!

Best meal in Kihei by far. My husband devoured his Korean short ribs with wasabi mashed potatoes. My red dragon roll with unagi and crab was fantastic. Didn't have room for dessert, though they looked yummy. Nice live music on the deck as well.

We ate the main course on the patio and then were forced to move to the bar to take advantage of the 9-10 late happy hour specials. So, the main course on the patio started with the nothing left on the "specials" menu. My meal was bland, my one daughter's was burnt, my wife's and other daughter had burgers and they were fine. We had a really nice waitress who was replaced by another waitress who undiplomatically told the room that the other waitress was "sent home". The new waitress was nowhere as good as the first and I only hope the tip was split. We settled the bill and had to move inside to take advantage of the "happy hour". This was good, three nice sushi rolls and two drinks for $20. Bartender was nice, leather sofas and a projector showing brave surfers. The happy hour(s) is the best bet.

This place is a hit or miss every time, so when it is a miss the prices seem outrageous for the quality. I have had great food there, but the next time around when I order the same thing, it is not as good :( ?? I don't get it. ?? I've gotten the panko encrusted ahi roll 2 or 3 times, and it is delicious, except for at least the last time, it was not very good. I hope they can keep up the original quality because I would like to order it again if I ever go back. I have actually had some bad (rotten) sushi from here (I had to spit it out into a napkin in front of everybody), but to be fair it was not at the restaurant, it was at an event, so maybe the event organizers had done something wrong with it (maybe they left it sitting out)?? I don't know. Trying to give Three's the benefit of the doubt. The eggs & toast & potatoes are pretty safe/good. But when I got the tropical french toast it was so mushy and soggy that I could not even eat it. The lobster mac & cheese left me feeling too heavy and gross (although I was sharing it with a whole other person). And from a separate occasion, the bread pudding was too sweet (and I even have a sweet tooth). So to sum up, this place leaves me confused, but if I knew that the panko encrusted ahi roll would be AS delicious as it once was, I would give the roll another try.

Aloha fellow yelp friends. Was visiting Maui and this place was highly recommended. They were also prominently featured on the cover of a touristy menu magazine. Wow, what a difference the real experience is. Went for happy hour because we did not want dinner yet and it was in between times. Ordered two glasses of wine, $5 each and certainly drinkable. The server was nice enough, although she seemed stressed out, even though it was not busy. Now for the food... Oysters on half shell, excellent, cold, fresh and tasty. Perfect. Had to borrow tabasco from nearby table. Server was not around. Turkey lettuce wraps. Looked like canned dog food and tasted like sloppy joe mix. Not really appealing. It was served with scary looking mint that when added to the mixture made it better. Chicken Satay.Horribly dry, salty on top of salty and just utterly forgetable. Skip these! Spicy tuna roll. The premade version at Foodland is 100% better. Dry and tasteless. Spicy salmon roll.Dunno..never got it. Sure was on the check though. Server did apologize but it was too late. If this place wants to be better they need better food and service. We saw one table leave without eating and another had to ask for their food. Dont know if dinner is better, but with THREE supposedly good chefs they need to fix happy hour or scare everyone off. I will forget this experience quickly.

I've dined here more than handful of times and I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. I will have to agree, their service is slow but their friendliness and ambiance make up for this fault. 50% off sushi on Tuesdays, a rather eclectic Asian-Hawaiian menu, very comfy lounge area make it an all around fun experience. Try their greek caesar pita for an appetizer as well as the nachos with taro chips. I've had the stuffed chicken for a dinner entree and that is the only thing that I can say is "Just ok" at the place. Otherwise, you are bound to find something you like here.

Prices are a little steep for the quality of food. I literally was so frusyrated at the total for the bill, that I accidentally left my credit card behind! Had to come back and get it the next day. Service was ok. Fish plate (mahi mahi) was totally over seasoned and swimming in an overly sweet sauce, ruining the fish. Sushi dish was kind of boring. Bummer experience. Drinks were ok though.
(2)
Patricia Gail M.
Not good. Waste of money. Cheap food. Prices are average but the meal was not even fast food good. I ate it because I was hungry. Had to send my daughter's food back because the waiter did not care enough to check back to see if we liked the food or if he got the order wrong and when he dropped her 2nd plate of food, it wasn't what she wanted. Zombie waiter and a manager that cared a little too late, we were already out the door. I must add that my friend likes Three's and goes there often so it may have been an especially bad night for them, which happens.

My husband and I got a tip abot Three's from a guy who was working in a booth down in Old Town Lahaina. We were looking for some place out of the way, not heavily touristed like a lot of the other places in Lahaina were (which is where we were staying). We ended up driving around for awhile, because Three's isn't right on the main street, but eventually we found it (after I wandered by myself into what looked like a biker bar and asked directions). Three dollar mai tais, incredibly cheap sushi rolls (the spicy tuna was AWESOME)--and the most amazing Kalua pork nachos on taro chips that we STILL talk about. The happy hour was fantastic, and we were really happy that we'd managed to catch it. The server was incredibly friendly, and we were able to sit out on the patio where we wanted, out of the sun. It's really nice marketplace that's in the same plaza as Three's, which also has Local Boys shave ice. Dinner and dessert, as well as some shopping, all within convenient walking distance. You can even wander across the street to the beach if you are so inclined. We loved it, because we're pretty off-the-beaten-path, and we wanted something a little more local-favored. It was quiet, cheap, and quality. We will absolutely go back the next time we're on Maui.

I'm a service guy .... the service sucks .... to the question :"can you put the football game on the big tv?"( in the middle of the bar which was currently displaying a screen saver) I received a simple "no" and the bartender looked at me like I was stupid .... These girls are less "bartenders" and more drink pourers, if you are or know a good bartender you know what I mean The drink pourers were un responsive and rude

A friend and I came here for dinner on New Year's eve. We both had the special -- a combination of grilled chicken, steak medallions, and coconut shrimp. All were very good. The chef actually walked from table to table, soliciting feedback and taking questions. I showed him, using my iPhone, a photo from a Yelp review of a dish that the waiter was not able to recognize earlier. I told the chef that I came to Three's Bar & Grill specifically to try out this dish. The chef said it was a seasonal special they had once: duck. He asked me how long I'd be staying on Maui and he'd look into putting the duck on the menu again. He returned later, to say that he was sorry he couldn't do it before I'd be leaving the island. What a thoughtful chef! With an attitude like that, no wonder his restaurant is successful.

Food was good, especially the banana mac pancake. Ono'licious! The service, on the other hand, left much to be desired. Lots of haole girls who really don't give a flying f___. This was our second visit and it will be our last.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here on our first night in Maui. The menu selection was well rounded but not too fancy - just right for our tastes. We all found our dishes delicious and reasonably priced (especially compared to a number of other spots in the area). The service experience was pleasant and prompt - we had no trouble getting a day-of reservation, and our wait staff was very attentive. All things considered (food quality, service and price), this was the best dinner we had during our trip ... I'd highly recommend this spot for a visit while you're in town!

A fairly new restaurant started by three guys-hence the name. It is tucked away in this bazaar-type shopping area on South Kihei Road. If you aren't looking for it you could easily miss it. We stumbled upon it by accident. They have a sizable inside dining area, a sushi bar an an outside deck shaded by a giant monkeypod tree that sheds like crazy. We initially chose to eat indoors for lunch for just that reason. I had a mahi mahi sandwich with pineapple cole slaw and my wife had a hamburger-both were excellent. A bonus was a fairly decent kids menu. We liked the food so much that we came back for dinner several days later. I had the Hawaiian jambalaya and my wife had ahi. Again. both were excellent. Don't miss this little gem.

Four day stay in Maui and this was the most disappointing meal. Food was ill prepared, greasy, soggy, and over cooked. Service was slow. It was a waste of tummy space. I wouldn't bother coming here, rather, go to star noodles or cafe o lie where the food is exciting, delicious and fairly priced. I would have given it one star but I made it out without feeling sick.

Love to order quesadillas during happy hour - keep em coming because everything's good. This is always a crowd pleaser when we have company in town and the owners are cool guys too. Live music during happy hour and good mojitos. 4 stars instead of 5 due to inconsistent service. Vibe is good tho!

Very good burger, if a little dense and lean for a patty. Well made, and the terrace service was excellent.

They have a great outdoor patio under the trees, and with live music for lunch while we were there. I had the fish and chips and they were incredible - both were definitely amongst the best I've ever had.

Warning: Restaurant engages in one practice that many consider unsanitary. Recent trip here had decent salad and fish and chips. But when i opened the ketchup there was this odd gas-escaping sound. I poured the ketchup onto my plate and tried to eat some of it and it tasted funny. Then i noticed it was much lighter than it should have been and bubbly. Having waited tables years ago, I knew what this meant. I called the waitress over and asked if they 'marry' their ketchup and she, to her credit, admitted they did. A guy at a nearby table who overheard my question and who currently works in food business was surprised she said yes giving the practice's notoriety. For those who don't know, "marrying ketchup" is the practice of taking all the half empty bottles of ketchup each night and combining them into a plastic bin and then using it to refill the bottles so they appear full. This is banned by health departments in some states (like Texas, but apparently not Hawaii) because it's super unsanitary and guarantees some customers will be served ketchup that has gone bad since the stuff keeps circulating until its eaten or goes bad. Savvy waiters try to spot bad bottles in advance by looking for bubbles, but you can never spot the bad ones all the time and you always get some customers who get bad ketchup (also, sometimes the bottles literally explode from the built-up gasses). It's a penny-pinching effort to save money based on the theory that customers don't like half-empty bottles (but, apparently, we don't mind eating ketchup that's been in a dozens of bottles over the course of days/weeks/months?). This place compounds this problem by putting ketchup bottles on every table on their outdoor patio **sitting in the the sun.** Needless to say, I didn't feel well after eating here.

Happy hour from 3-6, 3 dollar beers and mai thais and half off appetizers. Great deal for aprice gouging, overpriced Maui! Appetizers were all pretty tasty, Mai thais were well made and several beers to choose from, not just thestandard crap beers. Nice outdoor seating area and the staff was really friendly. Definetely gonna go back and check it out again before we leave. All in all a darn good experience.

This was by far the best food we have eaten in Maui!!! Everything on the menu was fantastic!!! We had the Panko crusted ahi roll as an appetizer and it was delicious!!! We (my husband and I) also tried the two specials of the evening and they were both SO delicious!!!!! I only wish we had found this place earlier so we could eat there several more times before we have to leave. The service was also very good, and I really like that they take reservations!!!!
Three's was my catering company for my beloved wedding this past May. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. For starters: Chef Travis was and is my FAVORITE vendor. Not only am I still getting compliments about the food (to this day!), but I could not have planned my wedding w/o him. He went above and beyond his responsibilities as our caterer and even helped me find a DJ, bartenders, etc. WHO DOES THAT?! I am so very blessed to have found him. He made planning this HUGE party from thousands of miles away much easier than I thought it would be. His catering staff was all very professional and responsible (making sure I collected all my belongings and my left over alcohol at the end of the night). I swear, if he could have planned my whole wedding I would trust him 100% (although I'm sure he wouldn't be too thrilled about that.. lol..) The day of the wedding it was Chef Trav (not my coordinator) that was running around last minute to make sure the wind didn't affect my table linen. He was always honest and up front about what was "worth it" and what never gets eaten by guests. (we were on a budget) But I trusted his opinions and always felt he was being honest with and not trying to over charge me like other caterers. Three's Catering Bar and Grill is a MASTER in cuisine, and above all else, allowed us to have the "best wedding food" according to all those who attended. I can't wait to visit Hawaii again to eat at their restaurant and actually try the appetizers everyone raved about (our guests said the BBQ kalua pork quesadillas were the to die for!) Oh, Chef Trav- Pavid is having a 10year anniversary... guess who's our caterer?! Are you ready for all those emails again?!!? :)

GREAT happy hour. We had 4 or 5 apps that were a hit. Surprising hit out of the bunch was the Japanese pancake. They also make a mean Mai Tai that we really enjoyed. It was a perfect place to get to around 4 and sit outside and enjoy some apps and drinks.

Excellent! So far, the best meal we've had on this trip this August. This was a nice fusion of flavors that wakes up the pallette. Really fresh ingredients with a fresh mix that made an interesting journey through our dinner. Good things: the kalua (Pork) nachos, and the sweet potato chips and salsa appetisers were our favs., the ceviche was not as good (not enough fish in that bowl). The Mahi Mahi on Purple sweet potato mash was really incredible too. Jumbalaya was very good as well. The kids thought that the mac n cheese with shrimp and lobster was too "salty", the lobster was too dry and the cheese too bland (I tasted it and I agree with them), overall this dish should be improved before you buy it. They had the chocolate mousse layered dessert and they loved the richness and lightness of it all. We will add this to our list of good places to go for tasty fare.

This is a great place for dinner. We sat out on the patio under a big tree for a nice candlelight dinner. It was fairly romantic even though we weren't intending for it to be. The place is fairly casual and they had no problem with us parking our daughters stroller next to our table. I had the poke which was excellent and my wife had the coconut fried fish sandwich which was also quite good. The service was awesome and they've recently introduced a really nice cocktail menu with some prohibition era favorites like the boulevardier. For my tastes though the cocktails were a touch sweet and I could have used a touch less simple syrup in my Tom Collins. Overall I highly recommend it.

I found this place to be one of the better places I've tried in Maui. We went there for dinner and sat out on the patio. The drinks were very tasty and very well done. My honey and I shared all of our dishes. We started with the BBQ Kalua Pork Quesadilla which was sooooooo tasty. The tropical salad was delish which was ate with the filet which had a teriyaki truffle sauce on it. Wow was that a good combo. Hadn't really had Asian food with truffles before and I have to say it worked VERY well. The service was great too. You can tell they care about their food.

Omega L.
Food was a 4 star..had kalua pork nachos which were amazing with the tar chips. Ordered, salmon avocado roll, nigri salmon and spicy tuna roll all 3 stars because they were kinda small and fish was not premium. Also, the rolls came out in that order, 5 minutes after each other. Good prices though, all of that for $18, because it was happy hour between 3-5, but I didn't know until I got the bill, nice to have known earlier.

Halina B.
I passed by this place on my first night in Maui and the menu looked really good so I decided to give it a shot. Big mistake. By far, the worst meal I had during my stay in Maui. We started with the panko crusted ahi roll, which was DRENCHED in sauce. It was terrible. I couldn't even stomach more than one bite. For my entree, I had the special which was a macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi. Also drenched in sauce. The nut crusted fish was not cooked properly as it came out completely black! The rice was also overdone and crunchy. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars is because our server was an absolute sweat-heart. We will NOT be returning here in the future.

We ate here for dinner on Monday, January 24, 2011. The idea of this restaurant is great, a triple-fusion of Hawaiian, Latin and Pacific Rim cuisines. Mix the three in varying combinations and see what happens. For the most part, the food is successful. We had spent the day at the beach and were there rather early and were in time for their early-bird, prix fixe menu. The raw bar needs a special mention. They have a nice selection from oysters to poke and we had a couple different items what were all great. A really nice addition to a restaurant. They also have a beer sampling, local beers, which was a nice way to get acquainted with some of the Islands beer offerings. While we didn't have any, their specialty cocktail menu looked very interesting, might have to go back to sample a couple. We really liked the appetizers, the Kahlua pork quesadilla was great, a place were mixing the food cultures really worked. Likewise the coconut shrimp were great. The Ocean Salad was really good. I know you're thinking it's just a salad, but the greens were fresh and wonderful and the dressing perfectly matched. Really amazing. The downfall were the entrees. I had the chicken roulade, which was just disappointing, really not much else describes it. It wasn't bad, but definitely a time where the description was better than the execution. My partner had the Mahi-Mahi which was a bit overwhelmed by the crust and mango-ginger buerre blanc. The fish was well prepared, but the flavor of the fish was drown out by the toppings. The service was great. Our server, even though clearly swamped, was delightfully friendly, fast and efficient. She is a great asset to the restaurant. One of the chefs did make an appearance in the room, but only to chat up a couple ladies at the table next to us, he probably could have made a quick stop to say hello to the rest of the diners. The ambiance of the restaurant is lacking. The patio dining is in the parking lot of the group of shops and restaurants. There are constantly cars and people. You are also across a rather busy street from the ocean. Don't go there expecting intimate dining, but you can tell all that as you walk in to the location, so it shouldn't really be a surprise (they do have indoor dining). The prices were pretty reasonable, particularly in Maui and the the food generally good, if a little uneven. We'd definitely give it another shot, if nothing else to have some raw oysters and a couple more beers.

The staff was so friendly. We went to Three's for drinks and the waitress accidentally spilled hot coffee on the table and it splashed a little on me as well as all over my phone. Even though this happened this didn't ruin the night! The staff was so friendly and made our evening great! Drinks were good. Good chill spot for groups just to sit and relax. The oysters were delicious! We went back on Tuesday night for half off sushi and the sushi was yummy!

We stopped at this place on the way up the shore. It is a little funky as it is located in the open air market. The dining room hours were somewhat confusing. We arrived at 11:30 and were told we had to wait 10-15 minutes for lunch. Despite this, the hostess took us to our table. No one checked in for 25 minutes. The food was just okay. Nothing special. The burger patty was good, but not memorable. Fries just okay as well. Not a place to go out of your way for but an okay cheaper eatery.

Have had both breakfast and lunch here. Both were very good. The kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes. The BBQ pork sandwich is really good, topped with a pineapple. Fries were good too, tasted like they were freshly hand cut. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the second time we went the waitress was sort of rude when we first sat down. She was rushing us like crazy even though there were only 2 other tables seated. Then as my 4 year old daughter was trying to ask her for a booster seat she harshly said "hold on I'll get it in a minute." Seriously? Is that how you talk to a little girl? She mellowed out once we got the food ordered, and the food was great. Good mellow live music playing out on the deck also. I'd go back, hopefully we won't get that same waitress again.

I absolutely adore this place! The chiefs are fantastic, the hosts and servers are polite, knowledgable and treat you as if you were in a five star resort. The bar tenders pour darn good drinks, not like some of the other places you will visit. Happy hour is super reasonable too. On my 21/2 week vacation to Maui, I must have gone to 'Three's Bar & Grill' about 5 times. I just kept going back for the food, service, drinks and good vibes. Be sure to sit on the patio at least once. The food is so good that even if your stuffed, you just want a few more tastes. I NEVER eat after I'm full, well, not unless I went to Three's. I will be staying in S. Kehei next time I visit Maui just so I don't have to drive from the other side of the island to get there next time. I totally commend the three young men who opened this place and prepare some of the finest food on Maui. Good Job Guys! Aloha from CA!

Great food, great drinks! The young pretty hostess was a real BOW (B on wheels) but our waitress Corinne was awesome.

Wish I'd have found this place on the first day instead of the last day I was in Maui!! We loved our lunch here - so much so that we went back that evening for Happy Hour!! Appetizers to die for - Pork Nachos, Crab Cakes, and Oysters on the half shell. Their mojito was amazing good too. I was mai tai-ed out by the time we hit Three's. Hubby got one though and loved it. The mojito was fantastic - fruity but minty all at the same time. Very refreshing. The service was fantastic. Attentive waiters who aren't pushy - a fine line to walk but they do it great here! Oh, and last thing - buy a bottle of the Mango Habenero sauce. You'll thank me later.

This restaurant is terrible. The Mahi Mahi was so dry, it probably could have used ketchup. Avoid this place at all costs. Also, overpriced and the service sucked - AND, I was with locals!

We loved having Three's Bar and Grill cater our wedding in Lahaina. Everything we had was absolutely perfect and left us wanting more even though we were stuffed. My wife found it really easy to plan our event with Chef Travis, who kept in touch with her to make it perfect. Me and my new sister had the bacon rapped filet and it was the best steak I can remember having in a long time. We had a nice rental house on the beach and the gas on the BBQ was out and I am amazed how well Chef Travis cooked everything on that electric stove in the house. I can't imagine what he could do on open flame!! Everyone else had the fresh local catch which left them licking the plates even though they were at a wedding :o) The Ocean salad and Caeser salad were perfect and so fresh. My wife and I highly reccommend thier catering service. They also did a high profile wedding for a friend of my wifes for more than 300+ people. We had the chance to have dinner in the restruant on our last night on the island. Now I really don't like shrimp at all and it's really hard for me to try them but my wife made me try the coconut shrimp and it blew my hair back like those trojan commercials. They were so amazing I had a second one. I also had the ribeye steak and it was cooked perfectlly. We were there on a Saturday night and enjoyed the live music (Tony, I think his name was). The inside of the restruant looked amazing and I wish I could have been able to make it there for their late nite action. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the orange and red skys during sunset. The only downside was the location of the deck because it is surrounded by parking for several businesses but they did the best they could to make it a nice experience. The service for our wedding was outstanding (Sidric, if I remember correctly.. I'll double check that, forgive me!!) and Lindsay for our in house experience. Thanks again for making our wedding perfect!!

Got there about 6:10pm, there is no outdoor seats, so we sat at a not so nice spot. We tried the recommended tropical salad--a little disappointed at that, the only good thing about it is the nuts on it. We also ordered some sushi, just so-so. My girlfriend said the american food looks better, maybe we should try that.

This place has a very good happy hour. The food was delicious. The live music is an excellent addition to the dinner scene. The food was priced a little high. But worth it.

This place is great. Service was fantastic, food was delicious. Sweet potatoe chips with salsa for appetizer was really good with drinks to start. Had seared ahi appetizer and Mac crusted chicken. Its tucked back in this little shopping center in Kihei. Live music at night. We sat outside on the patio and it was great. I recommend if you are dining in Kihei.

This place is horrible. Usually I can find something redeeming about a meal - the service, one of the dishes, the drinks, the location, the ambiance. But nope, not at Three's. You're literally sitting on a deck in the middle of a parking lot that smells like vomit. The service was incredibly slow. Each dish was worse than the one before, and the sake flight was terrible. If you're looking for Asian, I'd go to Sansei - which was amazing. Don't waste your time, money or calories here.

I loved my meals here. Went the first night and had a fish special that was great. Perfectly cooked fish makes all the difference. Great service. Went back again the next evening before an evening flight and caught happy hour appetizers and great prices. Oh my- what a treat. I recommend this one strongly. Wish I was headed back there soon.

Kelli S.
We were looking for some good sushi as well as a chill spot for happy hour and Three's was perfect for both. $3 Mai Tais?! Now THAT's what I'm talkin about! Their sushi was delicious as well and the rolls were a deal at $3-4.50 each. Also, it's situated close to the beach, which was nice for a post-sunset stroll to walk off being stuffed from all the sushi! If we were in Maui longer, we'd be going here multiple times but alas, we will wait until we are here next.

We ate here twice during our week in Kihei. The first night 6 of us walked in without a dinner reservation the the hostess looked confused or flustered or unfriendly (really not sure which), so we sat in the bar where we got awesome service and drank and ate our meal there. The food is the "fanciest" fusion we found in Maui, but food was all very good: steak, seared ahi, mac n cheese, mahi mahi, chicken, seems like we tried it all in 2 nights! They have beer and wine, but if you want a cocktail, they pour very nice drinks here! Young owners making a good "go" at their first venture! I wish them luck so please visit Three's when you're in Maui!

After trying the food truck a few months back and loving it we were excited to have date night here! We sat outdoors which was nice. The waitress was really fast and courteous so thumbs up! Had a sake sampler which was really yummy... the only minus here was the crusted fish burger was pretty soggy which was a let down as I'd been looking forward to it after having such a yummy one at the food truck! Would be back but don't think my husband would so I might have to dine with the chickens next time :)

We came here based on the yelp reviews and did not disappoint at all!!! Our server Samantha was amazing. The chef customized a surf and turf with mahi mahi for us and I had the regular. The steak was the best we both have had in a VERY long time. I'm not a big chicken lover, but I would eat their chicken any day of the week! We had crab cakes to start and those are a must try!! The curry made it pop. & those purple potatoes!! WOW!! Everything we had was fantastic and cooked perfectly & the Mahi Mahi was not fishy at all , fresh and delicious! (which we have had else where here on the island and weren't very pleased with the freshness whatsoever) Amazing service and hospitality, while our server was helping her other tables other staff came to make sure we were doing ok even though we were completely fine. AMAZING SERVICE!!! Cannot say that enough. We will definitely be back next time we visit the island!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

My wife and I stopped on a Thursday night after spending all day on the Road to Hana. We were very hungry and we were not disappointed. We sat inside and got the pork nachos as an appetizer. They were awesome! My wife ordered a burger & myself the macadamia chicken sandwich. We loved all the food! The waitress was super sweet and very helpful. I wish I would have seen her name. Anyway, the service was good, the food was super good, but my body was very tired. I would eat here again if I lived on Maui.

Great food, great music, dancing on Friday nights, half price sushi & pupus for happy hours. Island fusion delightful tastes to luscious burgers - My favorite is their Dragon Roll - delicious! Island style Live music on the patio all day, salsa dancing Thursdays, Swing & Blues dancing Fridays with yours truly!

One of my favorite places to go for happy hour! Three's has a nice atmosphere and a chill kihei vibe. The outdoor seating is a must. Most evenings someone is out there with a guitar and a great voice, adding to the experience. My husband and I went out for our anniversary dinner. The margarita's were 1/2 off and so delicious. We got the kalua pork quesadillas and as usual, the plate was clean. My husband got sushi and said: "this is the best sushi I've ever had. I could eat this all day." He's a fan. He loves his sushi. More margaritas. Now I'm full. So I just order the hurricane fries because I know my husband will order a large meal and share some with me. Fries were bomblicious. My husband got the French dip and it was just okay. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The meat was a little on the fatty side and bread was lacking flavor. It just wasn't our favorite. But everything else was. Thanks Three's!

Valerie M.
We made it just in time for happy hour and our server was so nice he helped rushed in our order of the hurricane fries and fried ahi sushi. Both were super tasty! Coming from LA, we loved this concept of having an option of sushi, Mexican or pan Asian. Everyone in our party left happy and full.

Came here because there was a coupon on Yelp. Yelp said that there was a free appetizer with the order of 2 entrees. Being a frugal asian, I was convinced. We ordered the ahi roll appetizer along with the poke bowl and dry mien. The poke bowl was really good but really small for what we paid. It was well flavored and I especially liked the addition of avocados. Really tasty. The dry mien was really taste as well. Stirfried chow mein type noodles with pork, mushrooms and topped with bonito. The noodles were also tasty but ridiculously greasy. The ahi roll was plated really nicely but didn't have great fish to rice ratio. Really could have done without the appetizer. There was way too much food. I think everything tasted really good but the overall price wasn't quite worth it. But, probably my favorite poke of this Maui trip.

We had the ahi tuna roll dragon roll and French dip which were all very tasty... We sat on the patio with live music and tons of flies... Recommend eating inside...

Food was great, service was awesome, live music at great at Happy Hour pricing. Everything was already reasonably priced and when you check-in on Yelp, you get a free appetizer. What a deal! There were so many great choices, that we ordered one of almost everything. We had the best waitress ever. She was really sweet, attentive and made a lot of great suggestions. They had a dry mein noodle dish which was really good. They used Iwamoto noodles which I am guessing was fresh noodles. Served with pork belly so really tasty, but when I got to the bottim, it was really greasy. The only real disappointment was when we asked if they accepted the ID card. She said she would check and then forgot. Then when we asked her at the end again, she came back rather quickly and said they do not accept it (although they have the sticker on the door that clearly said "ID card accepted here and on the website it states 15% off with ID card" Not about the money, but that little interaction left a negative taste after providing us with really exceptional service. I was just a bit disappointed that she oviously did not check. Aside from that, it was a great evening. Wonderful food at a great price, even without the discount.

Good food. Great dessert. Service was OK. Maybe it was because we were seated on the patio... in the back. It took a while for our server to make it to our table, and a while before the food actually came. Checked in, mentioned the free appetizer, and still was billed for it, even though we mentioned it to our waitress a couple of times.

Stumbled in here for brunch because the weather was perfect and the patio looked nice. We were definitely not let down! Got a seat really quickly on the patio with a guy playing guitar quietly. I had the eggs Benedict with tuna and a piña-guava mimosa which were both delicious! My friend had the moco loco which was suggested by the server and he was very pleased as well. The happy hour looked awesome for drinks and sushi, so I'm definitely going for that next time I'm in Maui!

Gotta say this is was a welcome place to dine for Thanksgiving. Most places were serving until 8, but Three's was open till 10! Yay! While we weren't with the rest of our family, the wait staff made us feel like a part of theirs. Gotta give stars for super nice staff working on the holiday! The restaurant is divided into 3 areas, bar, dining, and outdoor dining. We sat outside and there was live music. The outdoor dining is next to the parking lot, not exactly sexy, but they dress it up with lights and there are lots of trees overhead. Fortunately the parking lot is small and not too busy. Service was attentive but a little long at times. Which was ok for us since we were on vacation. It seemed like they spread out the servers, so that can explain why they took a while to get to our table. The food was great. I opted to get the prime rib plate instead of the Thanksgiving plate. I have to say the Thanksgiving plate looked yummy, but mine was really good. I surprisingly did not finish it! (Which if you know me, is rare). I got the ice cream sandwich for dessert. And I must say, the cookies are delish! They make their own cookies. I would return just for the cookies. Mmm my mouth is watering just thinking of it. But I want to try more of their dishes. I will return! Soon!!

Go for happy hour!!! It's such a great deal for Kihei and Maui in general, especially since they have an outdoor patio with a bit of a beach view, and live music! Happy hour runs from 3-6 and 9-10 I believe. We ordered 2 drinks each, 3 sushi rolls, two orders of fish tacos, and oysters and definitely spent less than $80 if I remember correctly. All of the food was really great! I especially loved the fish tacos and crunchy ahi roll. The top shelf margarita was sooooo good I had seconds! Definitely a great spot for a relaxing afternoon!

Wait staff was friendly, seated quickly. Very large portions, and we got the kahlua pork nachos free with the Yelp Checkin. Good sized prime rib portion, surf and turf was a huge plate, the only reason why I give three and not four stars is because ordered the turf medium rare and it was cooked rare for sure. I didn't complain because the meat was still very tender regardless of it being rare. I felt the demi glace to be a tad excessive, the steak was seasoned wonderfully and could live without it. Kim chee cole slaw was awesome, and chicken was delicious, but once again the sauce it was covered in killed the crunch of the fry, though it was a delicious sauce. It's not cheap, but not incredibly overpriced, food seemed high quality. Will try happy hour with them next time.

This a gem hidden in Keihe, recommended by a local. There is a real busy breakfast place around the corner, but this place has amazing pancakes $8.50 for a huge stack of three. We had chocolate chip and banana macadamia nut pancakes the first day and buttermilk the second day. The drink prices are reasonable.

We came here for sushi so we didn't try the ramen and other entrees. The layout is interesting, with an outdoor patio (with live music), a surf lounge/bar (with another live music performance) and an in-between dining area (presumably for grinches who hate live music and fun). We sat in the in-between dining area because the surf lounge was a bit too loud and the patio was packed. We started out with the coconut shrimp. It was decent, but they really piled on the sweet chili sauce. For dinner, we had the salmon and unagi nigiris, one of their specialty rolls, and shoyu poke. Being a Seattleite, I'm fairly spoiled when it comes to salmon, so I wasn't impressed with the salmon nigiri (it was a bit too fishy). The winning dish was the shoyu poke, which was presented in a small bowl with seaweed salad at the bottom of the bowl. I think it would've looked more impressive if it was presented on a larger plate instead. We closed the meal with the Lilikoi (passionfruit) cheesecake, which was really good. I think my favorite was a toss-up between the shoyu poke and the green specialty roll. I'm all for Americanized sushi rolls, but this one was slathered in more sauce than necessary, just like the coconut shrimp. We walked away feeling full, but I didn't think the dining experience at Three's was that special. For the same price, we could've dined at Ka'ana at the Andaz (not that comparing the two would be comparing apples to apples). Service was okay, my water sat empty for a bit and when it was refilled, there was a moth floating on the surface. I'm not sure if the moth had been in the water jug or if it had just taken a dive into my glass when I wasn't looking, so I didn't make a big deal out of it. I didn't pay attention to the other dining areas, but our little dining area kind of felt like an afterthought, making the ambiance a bit depressing and divey. I thought service could be more attentive and seamless, and the dishes would be better if they don't pile on as much sauce, so as to highlight the high quality of their fish more. This place is probably pretty charming if you can get a seat on the patio.

Sat for 15 minutes, no drink order. Ordered food, fish tacos pretty mediocre.....frozen fish perhaps? Forgot the second part of my order so no fries.....boooo. pretty lame experience. No apologies from the serve regarding the forgotten fries, just an excuse that "it was placed at the end of happy hour, so, you know". Skip

Great experience the food was amazing very filling and worth going back to. The atmosphere was relaxed and very calm the appetizer excellent we had the AHI roll and the pork nachos both were big enough to be an entire meal. The drinks were good excellent flavors and a good price. The main entrees was the ramen bowl and the hamburger. The sweet potato fries were amazing! Some of the best ever had could make an entire meal out of them. Our waiter Tim was friendly kept us entertained and let us know what to order. The only downside to the evening was going to the restroom only to find the sink was covered in mold and dirty this was unacceptable and not what we expected from the evening for that cause the lower review.

I'm sorry, I was simply not a fan of this place. After trekking up to the top of Haleakala, we drove through old Kihei to draw out the sightseeing on our way back to the hotel. We stopped in at Three's in the mid-afternoon, to learn we'd missed the lunch order time frame by just minutes. Since it wasn't dinner time yet either, we were left with the happy hour menu. The prices for HH were fine, and we went with your typical fare: coconut shrimp, chicken skewers, and a California roll. Everything was just OK, the seafood was a bit fishy tasting and could have been a lot fresher, IMHO. Given the choice, I think I'd skip a return trip to Three's and try out another local haunt instead.
(2)
Melyssa S.
This is my second time at Three's and I am still underwhelmed. My first time there was nothing to write home about. The pupu's were good. We had the crab cakes, sweet & spicy lettuce wraps, and the coconut crusted shrimp. For my entree I had the macadamia nut crusted chicken breast. The chicken was extremely dry and the rice was mushy in some spots and hard in other spots (old rice) I thought i would give it another shot so I went in today. We went in for happy hour only since there pupu's were good the first time. I ordered a margarita $6.00 happy hour $3.00. Im not sure if happy hour prices gets you cheap tequila but I didn't finish mine I started getting a headache. We also ordered the spicy tuna roll which was good. The California roll was ok. Once again the crab cakes were great. I don't think I'll be stopping by again. I don't think the saying "THREE times a charm" may work. Pun intended.

We decided upon 3 despite a couple of bad reviews as most of the complaints were due to service issues. We figured that things go wrong from time to time so we would give it a try as the food reviews were generally positive As I write this review we have been here for over 30 minutes and have almost left already ( the table next to us did). When we were first seated, the hostess sat us at a table where on side was getting a great deal if direct sunlight. When we commented that we were concerned and would like a different table she replied that there were no other tables available (2 were in the room we were in) and that we could sit on the same side of the table or wait at this table until another table opened up. We chose to wait for another table to open up. Our waitress came and took our drink orders. After we got our drinks there were 3 other tables open in our room. We waited, and after a while I went to the hostess stand and asked if we could move. She said certainly. We had to move our own settings and drinks. I am fairly sure that the hostess neglected to tell our server because then waited for 20 minutes with no contact. We saw our server walk near or by us 4 times without looking or acknowledging us. Finally she walked by and smiled as she walked to the server station. We debated if our server changed or if she had forgotten us and she finally came back. She did apologize and said that we had moved out of her station and "out of sight out of mind". We shortened up our orders and my wife got a half dozen oysters and sashimi and I ordered the flatbread salad and pork quesadillas. Both of my orders came out very quickly. The young man dropped the two plates on the end of the table making a loud clank and dismissively mumbled "enjoy your meal" as he walked away. We laughed as the poor service had become comical at this point. I will note that after our server remembered us she gave satisfactory service, except that she did not notify the manager that we had problems. I decided to eat my salad first knowing that the quesadilla would probably be cold by the time I ate it. My wife's oysters came out a few minutes later. All of these dishes were excellent, but the service overshadowed the evening. At the end I did share my concerns with the manager and he offered a gift card for a future visit and when we said we were leaving the island soon he took $30 off our tab. I am hoping that they take the feedback to heart as this could be an excellent restaurant with a well trained communicative staff.

Delicious seafood, including great local fish dishes and sushi. The restaurant itself is simple, although the food gives off the impression of being upscale. Waiters/Servers are courteous and nice. You will get good food here at a reasonable price. Not to mention, it's near all the good shopping areas of Kihei so check it out.

On vacation and randomly came across this spot. Our server was awesome but unfortunately we had some issues with our food...I ordered the Mediterranean salad which came with a pita that was burnt to a crisp, so I asked the server if I could please have another one. She came back with another pita identically burned...it seemed rude that the cook would send out another burned pita. Other than that again, server was great and the drinks were great too!

If I can give this place a 0 Stars I would but unfortunately I have to give it a 1 star. So let me start by saying the Bus Boy gave us better service and attention than our server. We ordered a mixture of Appetizers and Dinner food. The Kahlua pork nachos and Burger were good. I would like to rate the other appetizers but we never got them in time to even try them so I cannot rate on how good it was. The highlight of this dinner was that the kids at least got their food. One of the kids tried to eat their dry and bland Catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi. The Burger was good. The other had a Dry Mein which the name speaks for itself - very dry and a touch of bland. I ordered the Le Boulevardier drink for 11$ and it came out in a cocktail glass 1/2 full. For that price , one would expect at least 3/4 of the glass full not a shot! We had to result in complaining to the manager which was really helpful and he did everything in his power to handle our frustrating situation so I take my hat off to the guy handling a bad situation in a very professional manner.

After a long day of flying, then shopping at Maui Costco, and unpacking in our vacation stuffs--we walked to Three's for dinner, because their happy hour looked amazing. It was. We sat outside (coming from a dreary Portland in October, the sun was a welcomed sight) on their lanai and were greeted with a really nice server and a musician in the corner. We ordered crabcakes, nachos, and sushi, and shrimp and drinks and took in the first night of our little mini-vacation/friend's destination wedding adventure. For four of us, with drinks, dinner off the hh menu, and dessert we rolled out with an $80 bill, which for the quality of food is a steal! We almost went back, but then decided we should probably explore other places :)

It was good, but a little on the pricey side. The name of the restaurant is misleading, it's much nicer than just a bar and grill. Most entrees are between 25-42. We had the coconut shrimp as an app it was very good. I have the seared Ahi entree, it was very good and a large piece of ahi. They didn't slice it though so I had to cut it myself...maybe it's just me but everywhere else I have ever ordered seared Ahi it came sliced and fanned out.

Three's! Sounds like a nice idea. As I stood in the foyer looking at the pictures hanging up by the kitchen which pictographically told the tale of the three (brothers? buddies?) who put all their blood, sweat, and tears into building the place, I thought "How cool! This is the kind of place I'd like to like and will likely come back many times to during my stay in Kihei." Well, after three visits all I can say is they are "ok." and I'm disappointed I was disappointed. Moments ago my daughter and I were seated at a table out on the patio. We were there for the oysters. Everything else was a means to that end. Margarita? Bring it. Coke for my daughter? Bring it. But we're here for Pen Coves. I'd reminisced on seeing the sign yesterday when I drove by and how I had been mentally gearing up for, and had in-fact arranged my day, so I could be here at the appropriate time to kick-back and jump into a margarita (or two) and some oysters. The word came back--no oysters today. What the--huh? No oysters? No deal. We got up to leave. Rationality got hold of me as we were walking out and I decided not to be so rash as to permanently cut ties with my only known source of Pen Coves oysters in Kihei. Besides, like I said, I really wanted to like this place. So there I was in the foyer. Sigh. The hostess had run off to check on oyster availability--maybe tomorrow? I was hopeful. The word came back. Oysters tomorrow. All will be right with the world--tomorrow. It's only a day away. Chill, John. So the lesson here--call first and don't get yourself worked up until you know the oysters are in the room. I shuffled off to the other side of the parking lot to "Life's a Beach" for their happy hour (Will be reviewing there shortly). They didn't have oysters either but then again, their sign didn't claim it so my expectation met with my experience. Tomorrow came and the Pen Cover oysters were indeed in the room. They were good, too. We started with 1/2 dozen and the same drinks as mentioned above. My daughter, not being quite the oyster freak her dad is, also ordered the Chicken Satay off the happy hour menu. I think the Chicken Satay was a bit too complex for her teenage palate but I liked it. The Pen Cove oysters, as I said, excellent. Ordered another dozen. The margz--meh. The cocktail sauce, however, was begging for heavier doses of horse radish. The flies, though. What an annoyance. Came back again the next day. I'd been out shooting HDR fodder with my camera all along the north end of Maui all day and I was hot, ravenous, and thirsty. I took a table inside. Ha! Take that, you flies. Was seated indoors. Wobbly table. I took it upon myself to move. My waiter ... Bobby? Brian? Brady, Brrrr ... something. hello? Are you here with me? Ummm ... thanks but you already gave me a glass of water. Then he walks past and bumps my chair pretty hard as he went by. No acknowledgement. No chips? Oysters came. Another beer Definite disconnect with the waiter. Really seemed like he was elsewhere.Tasty, but do we have a new shucker? Every single one had bits of oyster shell in it. Separately, I'd heard people raving about the chips here and in three visits none had been out on my table, so asked for some. OK--well, they were chips. That's all. Hi? (wave) Hellloo ... can I have some horse radish to add some zing to the ketchup-like cocktail sauce which again is weak? Lots of lemons though. Hello? Hellooooo? Can I have another beer? Hello? Check comes--$9 overcharge. Fixed. OK, each of these things by itself--no big. Cumulatively? Well. It was all a bit too high-maintenance. Did I mention the waiter ... can I please have that beer now? (I mean the place is almost empty!) When I come back to Kihei I will no doubt be back--for the oysters. Unless, of course, I find another supplier for my habit. Three stars for Threes. They simply don't have their act together and I found their lack of concern for their customer to be insulting. The oysters brought up the average.

I would not recommend or eat here again Food was very disappointing. Way to much sauce in the stir fry, $12 additional dollars to switch from chicken to fish. ribs were small in portion and to much rub

We were recommended to use Three's for our wedding from our coordinator. We had done a few other tastings (which were very expensive and unimpressive) before we went into Three's for our (FREE) tasting - and we were immediately sold. They gave us a good sampling of foods available on their catering menu and everything was DELICIOUS. I literally changed my mind so many times about the menu because every single thing was so perfect, and the menu options were exactly what we were looking for: a perfect blend of Hawaiian/Pacific Rim flavors that would accommodate the varying tastes of our guests. For the main course we ended up picking the flank steak and the blackened mahi mahi. My friends/family RAVED about the food at our wedding. Everyone said they had never actually had a hot, perfectly cooked and tender steak at a wedding until ours, and the mahi was perfectly cooked and moist. We were blown away by the food. It was just as good as it was during the tasting, if not better. Chef Travis went above and beyond to accommodate our VERY complicated list of dietary restrictions - from every allergy on the planet to vegetarian and vegan guests he had us covered - and everyone LOVED their food. Throughout the planning process Chef Travis was extremely helpful, responded to all of my dozens of emails promptly, and helped us to create the perfect package. One of the best parts about their catering package is EVERYTHIGN IS INCLUDED. There were no hidden costs, no added on taxes or tips or anything extra that was unexpected. Their package covers everything from service, gratuity, glassware, silverware, tables, chairs and all of the other necessary things I'm forgetting to name. That made it extremely easy on us. What really impressed us, aside from the delicious food, was the incredible staff. All of the staff were beyond great, always there to help our day in any way. Our friends and family continued to talk about the nice bartender and all the staff we had at our wedding. Aside from them catering our wedding - we frequent Three's for their hard to beat happy hour on the patio, delicious Sunday brunch (again on the patio) and also love their jazz nights on Friday - their sushi is a must!!!

Yum! I came here for brunch with 12 people on a weekday morning and we were pleased to be seated right away. We were actually hoping to go to some other brunch place with great reviews but it turned out that the seating was sort of free-for-all and it would be hard to seat all of us. I had the 2 eggs any style (opted for over easy) with chimichurri home fries (the star of the dish), toasted baguette (surprisingly delicious) and a side of Portuguese sausage. I got to try the banana macadamia nut pancakes, which were really good, especially with coconut syrup poured on top. A few people at our table got the tropical French toast, which received a lot of praise as well. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful and happy to serve us, which was nice. The location was also really great because it was crowded and our food came out rather quickly because of that.

Too legit to..... Quit eating! The coconut shrimp hands down are the best! They come with a sweet chili glazed sauce however they are not overwhelming! The guy working the food truck is honestly the reason I am giving this place a four star or else it ould have been a 2.5 or 3. He was very helpful and accomodating he let us try the fries for free and sometimes it's people like that who cause me to order from a place instead of stingy people who charge for testing foods out. The ahi roll was bland I definitely have had better. The pork quesadillas are way too sweet. I think if they would pair their sauces with other food groups it would be so much better! For instance with the curry sauce, it is too overpowering for the ahi tuna roll instead pair it was a blackened shrimp or chicken skewer. The coconut shrimp could not have been better as well as the fries and fish tacos! I will definitely be considering for my next event. Oh yea our server made some awesome light margs!

We went to Three's on our last night of our honeymoon and were pleased. We had a reservation for 7pm on the patio (it was nice and cool outside). There was live music (even if we didn't much care for her, it was nice to have a live person). We were promptly brought waters and a small bowl of their chips - tortilla, sweet potato, and regular; the salsa was okay. I ordered the Mai Tai and my husband ordered a beer; those were quickly brought. For dinner, my husband ordered the ribs. Being from St. Louis, we know a little bit about ribs and dry-rub (as theirs are). The ribs literally fell right off the bone and were tender and flavorful. They got those right! The wasabi mashed potatoes they were served on were okay but could have used a touch more wasabi flavor. the slaw was good. I ordered the Hawaiian Jambalaya (kalua pork, chicken, and sausage). Boy was it good. I definitely had a kick to it and it was very filling, not to mention smothered in melty pepperjack cheese. My only complaint is that it could have had a touch more of the chicken and sausage -the pork was definitely noticeable but the other 2 meats were hidden. Overall, the service and ambiance were good. We'd go back.

Absolutely loved this place, but only went multiple times for happy hour food and drinks. The food is quality, service great, and has casual outdoor seating. I loved that the atmosphere was laid back, but didn't look or feel like a cheap bar. The building looks rough, but the inside is classy, but not super fancy. 3-6pm with $3 beers, mai tais, margaritas, and well drinks, half off sushi rolls and appetizers. My husband tried and enjoyed some of the Maui beers while I sipped a mai tai and margarita which were both good, occasionally on Maui you get weaker happy hour drinks. We had a sushi roll which was good and then the pork nachos on purple sweet potato chips. They were very unique and flavorful. We loved all the fresh local ingredients involved. We never made it for dinner, but we'll certainly be back after our happy hour sampling. I'd certainly recommend this place for a chill, outdoor quality meal or even just drinks.

Used to eat here a few times a month, but no longer. The waitress practically rolled her eyes when I ordered my salad without nuts and tomatoes, and with olive oil and vinegar for dressing (food allergies). It was delivered with nuts and a different dressing - nothing that can't be fixed, but the response from the server was, "Well, I ordered it with no nuts." She just acted extremely annoyed and then just plopped vinegar (by itself) down on the table without any explanation about the missing olive oil. I had to wait quite a while before she came around again and she acted like my request for olive oil was surprise. (It wasn't even remotely busy at the time...) A few minutes later she came back and said they don't have olive oil - what restaurant doesn't have olive oil?! We should have realized that we weren't a priority from the start, as her attitude switched from attentive to brusque as soon as we sat down and declined to order alcohol. So, if you're going to have a big bar bill and don't have any food allergies, you'll probably do well here. Otherwise, stay away.
I couldn,t say enough about this place without sounding like a babbling idiot! For a place with the name "Bar and Grill" the food is more than that! I would put this food up against any food at any of the fine dining restaurants on the island! I have NEVER had Mahi Mahi cook as well as these guys did for me. I had the Fresh Island Fish dish and it was out standing! The service was great too! I only wish I could remember their names. Two of the Chefs came to our table which made it even better knowing that they care enough to come out to see how our meal was and to be sure it is cook correctly and the service was what we expected! Our meal on Friday night was so good I came back Saturday night and guess what? It was just as good as the night before. This place is consistent in everything they do. It is rare that this happens and was appreciated! Cocktails, Appetizers, Food and service were perfect! It was nice to meet Chefs Cody ad Travis and thank you for making our night as good as you did both nights! I highly recommend anyone to go have a dinner here. You wont go wrong!

In Kihei and Three's Bar and Grill was highly recommended for their happy hour. Decided to give them a try and well it was just ok. Patio was crowded so we were seated inside. Way too hot to sit inside. It was like the air conditioner wasn't working. Overheard another couple complaining about the the inside temp and the hostess told them, "Yeah, we know!". We moved outside quickly when table became available. Ordered the Kalua Pork Quesadillas and Kalua Pork Nachos as they were recommended. Both were just ok...nothing to write home about. Probably the best thing about them was the happy hour pricing that made them half off. Ordered their Specialty Mai Tai and that was also just ok. I wanted a top shelf margarita so I ordered Hornitos Repasado, on the rocks with no salt. Also asked for a shot of Amaretto on top. What I got appeared to have no Amaretto and lots of salt. The waitress was quick to replace it and the second try was really tasty. Probably our favorite aspect of this dining experience was the extremely talented singer, Chad, who was performing on the patio. I give him 5 stars and the restaurant only three. Three stars for Threes Bar and Grill

Wife got food poisoning! Not too mention we are on our honey moon. The food was way too sweet and the meat was covered in sauce... It seems as if the chef compensated for his lack of knowledge by dumping as many sweet sauces on everything as possible. The price was far too much for the quality of food. The only reason it gets one star is because the server was lovely. Do yourself a favor. Find somewhere else to spend your money!

Went here for happy hour. Coconut shrimp was overdone and greasy. My daughters terriyaki chicken stirfry was over cooked too; to the point that the vegetables were grayish. The top shelf mai tai was a disappointment too. We won't return.

Another place we found by accident. While driving in Maui we stumbled across this place and what a find it was. Brother Francis was singing and playing a 12 string guitar. I had the local Kung fu Riesling whichever as delicious. I was undecided for my meal since they had so many great options but decided on the fish and chips. The fish was lightly battered tempura style paired with a coconut slaw and a salad that I barely touched the fries. Not to mention they had delicious tarter sauce. Brother Francis's singing was a treat and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

Great happy hour...Mai Tai's a bit weak but for $3, not bad. Panko crusted ahi roll..I'd pass. Not much ahi. Lettuce wraps were great if you like mint and basil (they put it on the side for you). Best app was the coconut shrimp. And if you love salad, the tropical salad was awesome!! As always, service is on island time... But who needs to be anywhere when in Maui .

Great wine list which is good to see in an open energetic fun place. Casual and staff works hard to please. Call them normal menu items but they have been enhanced with great sauces and spices making this place a casual yet TASTY with good wines for the prices. I'm a bit of a wine snob from Napa area and very pleased to see the wines they feature. You'll enjoy this place.

After reading about all the magazine or yelp's comments. This place sound nice. The location is some pizza/american restaurant before(I was there 5.5 years ago for the previous restaurant). The 3 chefs( owner) sound interesting , sound very good in their qualification (from reading, those owners are young and full of energy, and look enthusiatic, which is good). I order the fish sandwiches with pineapple slaw. Somehow, I found it is pretty sweet, for the sauce. Maybe it is a hawaiian thing. (not used to that kind of taste). My husband order the Sear Ahi, look good, the sauce taste like soy sauce + sake. Not bad. We also have a tropical salad, I found the taste is strange to me. I also have a few fresh raw oysters(those are super-fresh). The decor is modern look and the waitress and receptionist is nice and polite. There is just something, I don't find it is that "special" in their cooking for a upscale restaurant (I have been to a lot of other expensive eater restaurants like Roys "Hawaii" and others upscale restaurants in SF and Los Angeles area). But definitely look like the Three's Bar and Grill are trying hard to make "good food", I might give it another try sometimes for japanese rolls and other dishes. Wow, tonight I read other yelper about this restaurant, other people said the same thing as me, that "THREE" chefs suppose to be "good", and somehow, 1) they did not get that act together.. 2) somehow their food is not that good. like some people mention about those japanese rolls (premade from foodland is better). Basically, if "THREE" want to go the upscale direction(for restaurants) they need to work harder on their food's taste.

Cool place! Great vibe, at night or on a weekend morning! Live music is awesome and food is very good, for a spot pretty much hidden from the street. I feel fortunate that I stumbled upon this place while walking around the neighborhood. Was expecting more of a bar type atmosphere, but was pleasantly surprised by the nice menu and good food selection. I would definitely go back for a visit on my next trip to the island.

Finally tried this place out. I was expecting the worst due to the location (tourist town) and the fact that a few months ago they had all their friends write glowing 5-star reviews, but it turned out to be more of a mixed bag. Pros: -They did a decent job rehabbing the place from its bada bing days. It is pretty nice inside. - Service was good. - The food was pretty good. So that all sounds good, what's the problem? It is way, way too expensive here for the quality and location. I had the (recommended by waitress) mixed grill which was chicken, steak and something else, and it was $26. The food was decent, but the portion size was absolutely tiny. I actually left hungry. You can pull these types of prices and portions off if you are in Wailea, and have an oceanfront view, and maybe sell it a little more, but this place has a view of a parking lot, and is in Kihei. For cheaper than these prices you could eat at Cafe O'Lei and have a much better meal and experience.

The $3 Mai Tai is good. We ordered the Pulled Pork Quesidilla and it came out with a sweet sweet sauce over it. We had to scrape off the candy sauce to be able to enjoy it. We also ordered sushi: spicy tuna and rainbow rolls. The sushi quality is average. The sushi was normal (NOT fusion). Overall, we give Three's a 3! AND service is ok, not as bad as what other people said.

we really liked the outdoor seating and our waiter Adam was really great. you can tell he really likes the place and the food, and he was doing a great job recommending things on the menu. the food is ok, but not exceptional. we got the nachos, a burger, and the texas style ribs. the chips in the nachos are great, but the other stuff is just ok. the waiter said the burger is the second best on the island, and my bf did really like it, although i didnt care for it. the ribs are not bad, but not great. small portions too.

Went for breakfast: best we've had since we've been on island, so we went back again the next morning. Really, really good food: omelets, pancakes, potatoes, were all fantastic, and the Wasabi Bloody Marys were great! Should be open for breakfast every day day, not just Wed-Sun!

Alyss H.
I don't understand the hype. I agree with the reviewer who gave this place a 3 star. Decor was nice. Service was ok. Food tastes good. portions were tiny! SO VERY EXPENSIVE! why?! NOT recommended! did leave hungry! and broke! Walked to a nearby bar and had a snack (taquitos) and that satisfied my hunger for LESS than 1/4 of the price! Don't waste your time and money here!

Very nice place. The wife had Charbroiled Mahi-mahi and I had the Cesar Salad topped with Grilled Chicken (I was feeling a bit blotted from pigging out every where and wanted something light). The food was great! We will definitely it here again when we come back to Maui.

We just got back from our first trip to Maui and all of our food selections were based on the recommendations from people here on Yelp. I had never even heard of Yelp before the trip...now, I'm a believer. A key thing to remember when considering eating in Kihei (or on Maui, for that matter) is that things will be expensive. Groceries are expensive at the store and so are the prices at the local restaurants - but if the food is fresh and good, I'm fine paying a fair price. Traveling with our 5 month old, Three's Bar was one of the few places where we actually had a sit-down dinner. Some of the reviews on here were not all that favorable and so we were a little hesitant - however, after eating there, we would definitely return for another meal. The textures and colors used in the presentation of the food compliment the outstanding flavor. We opted to share meals that evening - splitting an appetizer, a salad and an entree. We started with the Kalua pork quesadillas and a tropical salad and both were excellent ! The quesadillas come with a tropical salsa and the goat cheese on the tropical salad was warm and creamy. For the main course, we tried the Mahi encrusted with edamame and macadamia nuts. They serve it over mashed sweet potato casserole which was out of this world. The next table over was talking to the Chef about the potatoes and apparently they mash the purple sweet potato up with brown sugar and coconut milk and then top it with a strussel-like topping to really kick it up. It was so sweet, crunchy and good that it would qualify as a dessert. The lava flow from the bar was a nice drink as well. All and all, a great experience at Three's Bar. Our server did a great job in noticing our 5 month old's fussy period and adjusting our meal arrival accordingly. If they keep cranking it out with the quality and fun atmosphere that we experienced, they should have a very successful restaurant. My wife has it listed as her favorite restaurant of the trip. And that is saying something (because we ate at some great places, and she's pretty picky).

My husband and i stopped in during happy hour and had GREAT food along with GREAT service! I am not a fan of pork but their pork nachos were the best thing i have ate!!! The sushi and oysters were all amazing too!! We had pork nachos, 4 sushi rolls oysters and our bill was under $30!

Went there for breakfast. Loved the loco moco. worth all 12 bucks. the meat was tender and the gravy - tangy! We ordered the burger rare, but it can out cooked well, but it was still moist and tasty. Even with this minor faux pas, I'd order again and pay full price. we ordered a macadamia nut pancake. Yum Yum too! Our guests had the flat steak breakfast. It was done "rare" to perfection. I tried the bloody mary special. though I like tomato juice and I like wasabi, the combo didn't thrill me, but that maybe because I am not a big drinker. Our local friend like the place. we did too. We are heading there for happy hour. Looking forward to it.

We just had a nice lunch here on their lanai. We frequent Kalama Village and have tried many of the restaurants there, so we thought we'd try this new place. Plus, we'd heard about it from some other folks at our condo complex. Our grandson just got his braces on, so he ordered a Chocolate Smoothie ($5) and an order of Roasted Garlic Fries ($4). He gave the smoothie a thumbs up, and was happily munching away on the fries. My wife ordered the Kulua Pulled Pork Sandwich ($8), which she said was outstanding. It comes with Pineapple Slaw on the sandwich - those of you from the South will understand this. Each sandwich also comes with a small side salad, your choices are Ocean or Caesar. Go with the Ocean salad. It has a very tasty dressing and includes a bit of ogo, the local seaweed. Very nice. I had the Caesar and it was uninspired - the dressing wasn't very flavorful at all and the salad was under-dressed. The Kulua Pork sandwich was delicious, according to the wife. The closest I got to it was a bit of the pork that fell out of the sandwich. She let me have that, and it was very good. I had the Three's Burger ($9), medium rare. And it was very tasty, arrived medium rare, so they get points for that. The service was very attentive and we never felt we wanted something that wasn't promptly provided. The owners just started this restaurant, and contractors were still working on the main dining room. They expect their liquor license this week. The dinner menu is different, and from what I've been told, very interesting. Based on this experience we're going back for dinner with some friends. I can only give it three stars at this time, but I can sense they have the potential and the desire to make a four or even a five-star experience. Update: 04/17/2010 - went back for dinner. Dinner was delicious! I had the Salmon Special - Mac nut crusted with some delicious sauce over balsamic rice - outstanding! We were a party of five and everyone got a different dish. Everyone agreed their food was really, really good! For dessert we had the Banana Foster Bread Pudding. Heaven on a plate! Rick, our waiter, is 6' 4" tall and really took good care of us. We had Rick as our waiter earlier in the week when we were here for lunch, and he remembered us. I bumped my rating up to 4 stars as a result of this excellent dinner.

Mainly went for the drinks...Had the lychee caipirinha which tasted NOTHING like lychee, also tried the lilikoi margarita and that tasted NOTHING like lilikoi. I had to ask the waiter to put more lychee in my drink and it still didnt taste like it. Had the coconut shrimp and it was delicious. Although the bread they served with it was hard. It would've paired greatly with the sweet butter they served if it was softer.

I had my wedding reception here on 5/23/2011. Venue: We had the whole banquet room to ourselves; and there's only 25 of us- classy contemporary decor, accessible to bar and very private. Working with Travis (Chef/Co-owner): I guess it helped he was easy on the eyes. T- web picture don't do you justice; you look way better in person. Ok, seriously- he was very easy to work with and very accomodating with requests. He was very thorough and detailed with their services and what you expect to have. Although, I think about it now, some are a bit 'sugar coated'. ;o) I wanted to meet up with these guys for the 'little details' prior to wedding. Travis adjusted his schedule to accomodate mine, albeit the few times I had to change due to running wedding errands. T showed us around and provided tasting that totally blew me away. Food was well-presented and good, company was good, and he was such a great host! Working with Jaren (Chef/Co-owner): Jaren was also an eye candy- but was quick to say he was married! Can't we all be eye candies and be married?! Haha! Travis was not there at reception area; Jaren was in charge that night. I highly suspect there were things that weren't communicated between the two restaurateur (sp?). My assigned 'crew' (actually, my groom and friends) came couple hours before reception to decorate the tables and set up cake. The venue wasn't ready for them; they couldn't do what they're supposed to do. Jaren was quick to advise that his crew will take care of it. Reception starts at 715 pm; we arrived at 745 pm. Tables were not dressed right. Granted Jaren sent a pic for his banquet table approval while they were prepping, groom was too busy getting married to respond. (They hid it from me to keep me from stressing! ) Jaren and his crew "re-dressed" the tables- still didn't get it right. But I give them 5 stars for TRYING! Service: Food came very late, albeit the little table dressing scuffle. Jaren ordered a separate plate for my friend who couldn't wait for the buffet table to be ready and was about to catch a flight. She left at 9 pm. We paid for a buffet where everyone should have enough food, if not plenty, of the courses offered. I advised Jaren that steak ran out; he said they'll bring more over but didn't. Dessert wasn't served because of the cake. We got a $50 certificate towards future dining because of it. Food Must HAVE: * Chicken roulade * BBQ quesadilla * Ahi * Sweet potato * and oh, HAMBURGER! Chicken roulade was so-so for lunch, but when it was served dinner time, definitely kicked major booty. It was so delicious; I can't remember having chicken served better elsewhere- even in food mecca SF Bay Area. Groom feasted on quesadilla. He claims this was the best quesadilla he's ever had that he didn't care much for the entree. We were served this appetizer to our hearts' desire! Three's sweet potato is "ube" dessert in Filipino. I never had it as good as they served it here- as part of an entree (side, actually), mashed perfectly and sprinkled with coconut crust! We came back for breakfast/lunch a few days later and service was still slow, although the restaurant wasn't really packed. As you can tell from my review, I did not sweat over small stuff that may be big for other brides like me. THREE's definitely have room for improvement: * need more attention to details * quicker service and * better estimate on food to be served. I honestly think the owners' attitude would help them succeed better in the future. I'm normally a stressor and a control freak, but I guess, seeing the accomodating and really trying to please attitude of the staff and Jaren's willingness to work with us compensated for their shortcomings. Overall, we had a great time.

Walked in here for an early lunch not knowing anything about this new restaurant. It was a great treat. The poke was amazing and so was the pork burger with the sweet potato fries. Prices were very reasonable. Now, you they gotta cut down all those damn trees dropping tiny fruit on me as I try to eat. I kid.

This place has an appearance of a cheap pub, only it wasn't so cheap. I wish they put some sort of lighting on their outdoor tables - it was so dark I couldn't read the menu. The music was a nice touch though and not too loud. Sushi was nowhere near good, seafood dishes were just ok. I'd go somewhere else if I had a choice.

This place came recommended on Frommer's. Weather was great so we were seated outside on the patio. Really enjoyed the Kahlua Pork Nachos. I was a fan of the ribs, one friend ordered the Jambalaya and said it was good. The fish of the day was Mahi-Mahi (ofcourse) - unfortunately it was not well liked or the least bit tastey to all of us. My other friend ordered the Chicken Roulade and we all sampled and enjoyed it.

Love the ambiance, 1/2 off sushi, live music, and prices are affordable. Local-Asian flair cuisine. Amazing combinations of flavors and the dishes are so beautiful! Food is tasty and delicious. If going for dinner, make sure to arrive early. They get busy quick.

Right across from Kalama Beach Park, even though touristy, has got some pretty good grind. Most restaurants that cater to tourists offer fusion, so this place is nothing new to the scene. After a couple of hours at the beach, we were famished. As you walk into this place, there is a bar like area where live music can be enjoyed. To the right is another seating area. Beyond that is a sushi bar that opens up in the evening. Of course, patio seating is where we wanted to be. Nice breeze flowing in from the ocean across the street. I pondered over their drinks and then decided on the Lychee Caipirinha, which was so yummy I took a pic of the ingredients to try at home. Hubby wanted a good old fashion Mai Tai. My little cutie pie wanted the Virgin Pina Colada. "What's virgin?" He asked. "No alcohol!" My hubby and I answered. It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. My cutie pie was so pooped from romping on the beach he fell asleep on the chair. "Pina Colada!!!" we all said out loud and he jumped up from his little nap. "Ooh, cherry on top!" He gobbled the cherry and pineapple. We waited another 20 minutes until our food came. I decided on the appetizer crab cakes with fruit salsa and arugula with fruit salsa. Hubby wanted the cheeseburger with fries. My little one had the pasta with cheese. He was a little disappointed with the elbow macaroni since he expects that for Mac n' Cheese. The kid's colada filled him up anyway. They had the usual KID'S MENU for $5. The lunch prices are from $10-$20. This place is pretty close to Kamaole Beach Park, a wonderful beach for kids, we would definitely go here again!

The service was slow. We split a salad which we had to share off the same plate. The Rib eye was cold when it came out so I sent it back. The new Rib eye steak was hot but also a little tough. They brought out cocktail size plates to split the steak on.

Spotted this place when we ate breakfast at Kihei Caffe. Couldn't help but notice the "$3 Mai Tai's" advertised on the Happy Hour menu posted outside. After a day at the beach, we returned to check it out. We were greeted by a friendly face at the door and chose a seat on the patio. There is no view to speak of (parking lot), but the umbrellas and canopy of trees made for a nice shady quiet spot to enjoy some Happy Hour apps and drinks. Our servers (John? and then Chelsea?--we came during shift change) were both extremely friendly and proud to explain the items on the menu. We arrived before Happy Hour so my first pint of draft beer was $5.50 and my wife's Mai Tai was about the same. After Happy Hour arrived (3pm-6pm), the Mai Tai's, Margaritas, and Draft beers were all $3. When the HH Mai Tai arrived, it was half the size of the previous full price one, but still not bad for 3 bones. All apps except for oysters were half price during HH. We had chicken satay, kalua pork nachos, and coconut shrimp--all were thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Great stop for us. Nice people and good food.

We used Three's for our wedding catering and they did a fantastic job! It was a destination wedding and we took a pre-trip to Maui to find our vendors and in the case of food, sample our vendors food. We went to a lot of the well known and recommended wedding caterers and while they were decent, Three's was the one that blew us away. Travis was responsive in emails while we setup the sampling and then when we arrived he took care of us the entire time offereing suggestions and gathering info on our preferences.Their food was great, they had a wide selection to choose from, my wife's favorite was the purple mashed potatoes (We still can't figure out everything in there but it was addicting). They also offered a sushi bar, chocolate fountain, desserts, ice sculptures, you name it and they had it. They even provided the bar tender for us since we rented out a private estate. On the day of our wedding Travis was there overseeing everything and checking to make sure we were satisfied. All of our guests kept coming up to us and complimenting the food and how great it was. Thanks Travis and Three's for providing the excellent food and catering. It definitely made our wedding very memorable!

It was ok. Steak was great, sushi, um, it was ok. Not an extensive wine list and it was totally empty for dinner. Nice but they seem to miss the mark.

Awesome happy hour! Fresh oysters (as long as they dont run out) Mai Tais and sushi...all delicious and right across from the beach.

We found this place by accident. We were looking for an after the beach happy hour and the sign said, "best happy hour on Maui", they weren't lying. Beers were good and inexpensive and we had a sushi plate and Kailua pork sweet potato nachos, the best! I have been wanting them since I had them but it's about an hr drive for us. Everything on the menu looks fabulous and if we were closer, I would go there every night, that's how good the food Is. I am considering staying in kihei next time so that we can eat there more often.

Great fusion food and friendly staff. Across the beach but no real view. Pricing is average for portion size and venue. Fish was good but came out luke warm.

We ate here with our two teenage boys. I had the fresh fish special of Mongchong and loved it ,my husband had the seared Ahi tuna and was very happy. The menu was very limited for our kids though and the burgers were a bit pricy. Overall we were very satisified with our service and food. Most entrees are in the high $20's and mid $30's I would consider this $$$ not $$. But, food was great!

The service was great and fast which is always a plus. However, food and atmosphere wasn't all that great. It seemed like the restaurant couldn't decide what type of food to serve. They had their Asian and seafood as well as American, Hawaiian and ..... Wait.... Is that Mexican too? They serve chips and salsa to each table! None of our meals tastes great, in fact the fish they claimed to be fresh..... Not so fresh. As for the atmosphere.... everyone loves the idea of live music, but if it's going to be live it better be good. There were two to three musicians in different areas of the restaurant. The two we heard were pretty bad. The music was also WAY too loud, so you could hardly hear the singer (which was probably a good thing). Sadly, We would not go here again.

John, one of the managers at this fine place, runs a tight ship with tremendous grace and humor. It pays off: I take all of my clients to Three's, with great thanks to its lovely lanai, excellent happy hour, live music, and decent prices. It's especially fun during football season, where large screened TVs are set up in the lounge, breakfast is cheap and fast, and the French-pressed coffee is divine. Highly recommended for every meal, seven days a week.

Stopped in for lunch. It was pretty quiet when we went in, but it was cool, comfy and the service was great. At the recommendation of our server, I tried the hurricane fries with a cucumber collins. Wow. I could eat nothing but this all day!!! Really wish I'd been able to make it over for dinner/nightlife.

I can not tell you how wonderful not only the food and ambiance is but the customer service exceeds any other restaurant I have been to. We dined here a few times during our stay in Maui. The patio usually has live music which is nice. For the food we had lunch, dinner and breakfast here, each meal was great! The huevos rancheros was very flavorful and a great portion size. My boyfriend got the Guava French Toast and it blew all of our minds. We talked about going back for it again but unfortunately did not make it back. We picked up some guava jelly and coconut syrup to attempt a recreation back home. This is where the customer service exceeded all expectations. I emailed in to see if they would mind giving me the recipe. Within a day I got a phone call from Chef Cody and an email from Chef Travis! They were so kind to give it to me! Thank you again for a wonderful experience we will never forget!!! To follow up on the attempt at the French toast....it came out okay, definitely not the same but a great reason to go back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Outdoor area with live music during all their open hours. Makes the dining experience beautifully casual. Fish dishes were all delicious and very reasonably priced. We stayed nearby and were looking for a better dining experience. Took a chance and were very glad we did. Service was fast and friendly. We sat outside on a beautiful summer evening in early July. Very casual dining.

Courtney F.
Good food, nice outdoor patio. There has been live music on the patio every time we have been there. We usually come for sushi and drinks. Prices are reasonable for Maui and for the quality of the food. I love the purple haze roll - tempura molokai purple sweet potato, avocado, cucumber, kaiware sprouts. The restaurant is near the water, but not an ocean view.

Jordan B.
Excellent service. Our server Tim was and is the man. He had excellent recommendations on which food to order (I love it when the servers can give you a straight answer about if something is good or if something is a better option) and we were not disappointed! The three's ramen was excellent, the macadamia encrusted chicken sandwich was delicious, and the lava cake was delectable. Seriously. If you go here, get the lava cake for dessert. It takes 20 minutes to prepare and it's soooo f**king worth it. So, so good. Anyway, 5 stars for Tim and for Three's. Well done and we will be back.

Three's deserves a (conditional) fiver-star review. What's the condition? Go during happy hour. I've been going to Three's since 2012, so I've seen how they've progressed throughout the years. For some reason, whenever I go during regular dinner hours the service isn't as quick and the quality of the food isn't consistently great either. Even if you don't go during happy hour, the place still gets an overall 4-star rating. BUT, go during happy hour? You'll get some of the best sushi and small plates on the island of Maui. Sushi: Amazing. The presentation is beautiful, but the taste is even more satisfying. All the ingredients seem fresh and nothing's ever bland. If you go during happy hour, get the salmon avocado or the spicy salmon roll. If you go during a non-happy hour time, the green dragon roll is usually great. Other Things to Get During Happy Hour: - Kalua Pork Quesadillas - Kalua Pork Nachos - Three's Wings (I get PLATES of these every time I go) - Sweet & Spicy Lettuce Wraps Ambiance: Casual, makes you feel like you can relax with a great group of family and friends. There's usually always live music and dancing, so you're bound to have a blast there. Chefs and staff are all very friendly too and make you feel like you're at home. Overall: Would definitely recommend people to go here if they have the chance. Great food, but if you want to get the 5-star Maui experience, go during happy hour.

Incredible high-end food at a reasonable price!! Get the nachos as an appetizer, it will knock your socks off. We had the Fish and Chips and the Macadamia crusted chicken. Both were exceptional and the presentation looked like a 5 star high-end establishment.

We just happen to be walking down the street and stumbled across this cutr restaurant. We definitely were drawn in by the patio seating under beautiful trees. We love going somewhere that has a full restaurant, always a good start. Good was great. I had the macadamia nut crusted chicken sandwich with a delicious slaw on it! My husband had a fish sandwich and loved it too. Very nice staff, excited to stop by again during our honeymoon trip to maui

So we went for happy hour and enjoyed all things happy hour. We came at 2:39 & they made us wait till about 2:50 to order. (Note:make sure you're there at the right time) We ordered a slew of sushi and fries and quesidilla.. the flavors were amazing. Very different and very good!! The parking was good, but we came early, not sure what the dinner crowd might say. The lot is small. For two we paid around $50, and I think that Is average for Maui..we seem to pay about that much everywhere we go. Overall, we would be back! Thanks, threes!

Nicer place to have a drink and dinner. We only drinks and sat on their leather couches while listening to a live Hawaiian cover band. The lounge is great to have a drink and relax. Service was really nice and fast. Recommended as a nicer option against the many dive bars around this Kihei Village.

The salad was really good!!! I normally don't order salad when I'm traveling but craving something clean after carbo-loading on this trip. The coconut shrimp was fantastic. The ramen was also good. The broth was nice & light.

THREE'S BAR AND GRILL @1945 S KIHEI RD STE G: Their Happy Hour is 1500-1800 + 2100-2200. One time Happy Hour review: Fish Taco $3.50 each - tasty! Lettuce wrap - $7.50 a bit too sweet for me but good. Coconut shrimp $7.50 too sweet for me but was good. California roll $5.00 was tasty! Spicy ahi $5.00 was tasty! Three's margarita $3.50 x2 - tasty! With the price and the taste, we are happy. We had 1 very professional and 1 bit slow servers.

With the exception of our hostess Kimber, and the slow service by everyone else....it was a good experience..Mai Tai was good and my wife's wine was excellent...rainbow roll was tasty, ramen was flavorful, avo roll was epic and the Cesar salad was fine. Good experience, good restaurant

Went at 3pm , all drinks and appetizers were 1/2 prices. Hurricane fries with furikake and toasted black sesame seeds were good. Unagi and spicy salmon sushi rolls were amazing . Ordered crab cakes , coconut shrimp, fish tacos....all amazing . The siricha aioli sauce is simple and tasty.

Threes is our favorite place to go in Kihei. While the happy hour is fantastic, breakfast lunch and dinner are just as great and worth the money. The bartender Samantha is the best! She's super friendly and efficient. Sushi chef Brady does a killer job of Rollin that raw fish. We love the sushi, chicken wings and ramen. Check it out for a super laid back, yet classy atmosphere.

Jackie B.
Good food. Good music. We had the kalua pork nachos, crab cakes, and the kalua pork quesadilla. All very good. The nachos and the quesadilla were prepared very similar, so you could get away with just the nachos. Outdoor music and seating. Nice environment.

Ten of us went for happy hour on a Thursday last week but we had three separate tables so it should not have been considered a large group ! We had good service by a nice gal out on the patio , enjoyed the live music and I loved my sushi rolls and wine . What we didn't know and she didn't bother to tell us was that she had added gratuity onto the bill and we tipped on top of that . On my bill alone she got about a $8 tip on a $21 tab !! NOT so HAPPY , happy hour .... I for one will NOT go back as I have many choices in that area for good food .

Amazing breakfast place! We had a party of 12, including toddlers, and the staff did an incredible job. The banana macadamian pancakes were BOMB. One pancake is enough for two people to share without leaving uncomfortably full. I also tried their special mini breakfast burgers. The Portuguese sausage, pulled pork and eggs were absolutely delicious together. This is a great restaurant and hands down the breakfast food I have had here on maui. Very reasonable priced compared to hotels and other food places throughout the area.

Come here for a great breakfast deal! My husband and I got the loco moco (14$) and one banana pancake (very large- for 4 dollars!) filled to the brim and happy !

After reading the reviews we were excited to eat here. The service is great, the food was nothing special. Maybe it was an off night. Only person was somewhat pleased with their meal, nut crusted chicken.

Joyce H.
Just cheap. Coconut shrimp were shriveled up and over battered. Appeared as if they've been fried multiple times. The grnad margarita was pathetic. A small cup and could hardly taste the fresh squeeze lime. The pork quesidilla was bland. They have a good aeoli sauce but it hardly covers up for the low quality food. If you want cheap eats they have good happy hour prices but the food quality is low. Good service but does it matter when the food is poor? Gave it a 3 for good service and location

We went to their food truck located near the Costco. Ordered a bacon wrapped hot dog with Hawaiian ingredients and Kim chee (Danger Dog). It is as good and as deadly as it sounds. $6 for a regular size hot dog, you probably need to buy two to get full. Definitely a great pit stop to and from the Costco or the airport.

After 5 nights of having the finest of what the island had to offer, we decided to try some of the more toned down restaurants in the area. As we pulled up the place looked like a dive bar.. the inside looked from the 90s and could use a major facelift. We became quickly apprehensive when we saw the teenage looking sushi chefs working the sushi bar but decided to give the restaurant a shot anyway.. We opted for outside seating for dinner.. the patio was cozy and was lit up like an old school beach shack with hanging string lights going into the main tree - very cute atmosphere. We started with couple of their signature drinks and they were very good. Then we took the waitress's suggestions for food and surprisingly the dishes did not disappoint. In fact, they were just as good as the 5 star restaurants - at half the price.. 5 stars for the food, drinks and the outside seating area.

Great breakfast here today! Sat on the patio, with live guitar music. Had the Tropical French Toast and the Seared Ahi Eggs Benedict. Both were excellent. Eggs were done just right, holland aide was perfect, and they had three different hot sauces to choose from, including a mango habanero one made in house. Attentive, friendly service that was not intrusive or pushy. We'll be back for the Kailua pork nachos and lots of yummy sushi that we saw on the menu.

When Lisa and I went on a girls trip to Maui, we rented a condo to save a little $$$, having breakfast, snacks and usually lunch or dinner on the Lanai with food we fixed up from Foodland. However, we did treat ourselves to go out a few times, and Three's Bar & Grill was our hangout of choice! First day there we enjoyed tropical cocktails, and I felt the Ginger Cucumber Collins was delightfully refreshing. For lunch I enjoyed the fresh catch of the day on rice with salad, which for around $10.95 was a steal. Live music out on the patio for the afternoon was definitely a bonus! We came back a few nights later on Lisa's birthday and shared a burger, Mediterranean whole wheat salad and the Kalua pork nachos. The nachos were definitely a standout and had an awesome quantity of tasty, Kalua Pork with the perfect balance of cilantro aioli! Tony was on guitar that night, and did a wonderful Hawaiian rendition of Happy Birthday for Lisa, even draping a lei over her shoulders. I can now go down as her best friend in history - for helping to get her leid on her birthday!

Crystal S.
This was a great place for dinner. We had the purple haze sushi roll as an appetizer, and it was amazing, the best part of the meal! We then ordered edamame (although they informed us 10 minutes later they were out) and the ramen bowl to share. The ramen was good, but they charged $3 to split it, I really hate that :( That is why I knocked down 1 star. It stinks they charged us to split even though we ordered 2 appetizers (1 of which we didn't even get!). Overall though, the food was great, service was good, and the seating was awesome, both indoor lounge for drinks, and the outdoor patio for dinner.

If you enjoy watching the family of four next to you who was seated 30min after you receive their food before your party of two, this is the place for you. This place is severely under staffed (one waitress for the whole place), the food is good not great, and NOT worth the exorbitant wait. I recommend you go around the corner to Kihei Caffe.

Good place for take out. Casual and right in the middle of Kihei. Will come for dinner next time

Nice place and we sat outside on the deck while a guitar player sang and played Hawaiian music. Good thing we weren't in a hurry, though, because it took over an hour to get our food after we had ordered! Prepare to wait!!

My daughter said that the banana macadamia nut pancake with coconut syrup is to die for! I enjoyed my simple Hawaiian breakfast of two eggs over easy with rice and Portuguese sausage. My Mom had the three egg omelette with crabmeat. Generous portions. Their in-house mango habanero hot sauce is really good also! We had really planned to go to Kihei Caffe around the corner for breakfast, but the caffe was overly crowded at 8am, so we came here instead. Good serendipitous find for today!

Have now dined at Threes a half dozen times. Five times for lunch/happy hour, the other time for breakfast. Here are some highlights. (1) The pork quesadilla contends for the best bite of food I've ever had. The combination was mysterious on paper because I am not a foodie and things like "lime" and "chutney" are foreign to me in the matter of quesadilla (cheese, meat, tortilla, BAM!), but somebody over at Threes is a full-on wizard and the quesadilla there is straight up magic. (2) The Mediterranean Whole Wheat Flat Bread Salad is also awesome. There's hummus, olives, onions, feta, and a tasty dressing. Each time we came up with a forkful it didn't matter what was on it, it was delicious. Plus, when you get to the bottom of the salad, there's a whole bunch of flat bread and as we've discussed in previous reviews, I love bread. (3) Breakfast was standard fare--two eggs, Portuguese sausage, bacon, blueberry pancake, and breakfast potatoes. The Awesome Girlfriend thought some of the food may have been slightly too greasy, and I could see her point, but it also tasted great and I was able to excuse it (even if my poor, poor heart will not). I'm a huge fan of Threes. They're definitely doing it right.

3 stars for the price, it's pretty pricey here especially for dinner. Went here twice. First time was for dinner and got the flat iron steak w/ramen noodles. This was very tasty but a little salty, full of flavor though and came with lots of noodles. Would recommend this for dinner. Boyfriend got the prime rib, it was mediocre. Second time we came was for happy hour. Sushi was okay but the nachos is what you want to get during happy hour. Tasty and good portion

Jessica V.
Went here for breakfast. Really wanted to give Three's 5 stars because the chimichurri breakfast sandwich was so delicious! However, had to give 4 stars because our bloody Mary's were awful. Would only suggest ordering if you like watered-down and bland drinks. There has also been live music on the patio every time we've walked by, that was definitely a great addition to our breakfast!

Sat outside and enjoyed some leaves from the neighboring trees landing in my food and water. Not a complaint as that is just part of deciding to sit outside...but worth noting. Ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and my eggs were poached hard. No delicious lava flowing yoke when I poke thee egg with thy trident...arguably the best part of an eggs benedict. The smoked salmon was okay nothing to wrote home about. Sorry mom. The home fries were good. The service was spotty for not being very busy. Never got a refill on my water. This was just my first experience here so I'll try again and give em another shot.

Had lunch at Threes today. What a find! We were seated promptly and water was brought right away. Are server, Kara, was fantastic. She was very knowledgable about the menu and her choices were spot on. The food was some of the best we've had on Maui. I own my own service business and this is exactly what I want from my employees. We even had a manager come by and make sure everything was good. If you're looking for a great restaurant, make your way over to Kihei and go to Threes. You won't be disappointed

Rain Greg J.
Great place! Great happy hour appetizers, great happy hour drinks, great service at the bar, great ambience, great menu! They've got it going on! No wonder they always seem so busy. We sampled quite a few things off their happy hour menu, fish tacos, sushi, flat bread salad, and lettuce wraps. My favorite was the fish taco, with a very yummy salsa, fish was perfectly moist not overcooked. Best fish taco we've had in a long time. Everything else was wonderful too! The main menu had some very unique and delicious sounding dishes I'm sure we will be back to try. Great job guys!!

Was in Maui for our honeymoon. We ended up at Three's at least 3 times. We only came for Happy Hour, but the appetizers and the drinks were great. We also had wonderful service. We sat on the patio each time and listened to the live music. It was one of our favorite places to relax while we were in Maui.

Talisha S.
We stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday and late night happy hour on a Sunday. Neither time did we have to wait for a table. Service was better at happy hour than breakfast but at breakfast we got to sit outside. Threes has the best eggs Benedict. I can't remember what I had for happy hour but it was also delicious.

This is one of our favorite spots when we come to Kihei. We've been several times on this trip. Great Happy Hour (daily 3-6 and 9p-close?), and they also serve a wonderful breakfast. For breakfast, the pancakes and benedicts were good. I ordered a single pancake and side of bacon. More than enough food for this girl. The boyfriend ordered a benedict and it was also tasty. I've also had the breakfast sandwich which is HUGE -- with home fries, what a meal! For Happy Hour, we like to get the sushi, specifically the spicy tuna or salmon. The panko crusted ahi is a top seller, but wasn't really our cup of tea. They also serve a mean pork nacho - decent portion and they use different kinds of chips (tortilla and multi-colored potato!) which I think is great. Also available are $3 Mai tais --- they are good, for the price. If you get a seat out on the front patio, there is often a musician playing which has a nice ambiance.

The big plus here is access to local and recently caught fish, way fresher than anything you'll get on the mainland! The non-fish options are just ok. I guess this place is good if you're looking for a comfortable setting and strong air conditioning. Kalua Pork Nachos: I've never had nachos like these. Pork cooked in an underground oven, ranch dressing and colorful root vegetable chips mixed with traditional nacho chips. It was pretty tasty, but a tad heavy, so share! Seared Ahi: Tuna caught by a local fisherman in the past 48 hours. This puts the older frozen-then-thawed ahi we get on the mainland to shame. Just a thin and flavorful sear on the outside with tons of raw red goodness on the inside. The sugar peas served on the side were limp and overcooked. The "sticky" rice felt more soggy than sticky. But with such an amazing cut of fish I could easily forgive that. Kauai Shrimp Penne Pasta: Creamy and simple. A little skimpy on the shrimp though. Pineapple Upside Down Cake: This was a bit of a letdown. The cake part was dense and cold and little dry. The pineapple slice was thin and not as gooey/chewy as it should have been. A generous scoop of ice cream, but it didn't get melty at all since the cake wasn't warm.

Food was wonderful the pork nachos are creative and out of this world. I be back to have them again . The menu was also good it was hard to decide what I wanted cause it all sound so good. I had the Hawaiian rib the meat fell off the bone. Service was great we where we'll taken care of and they even ask twice to make sure are food was good.

Best happy hour special. This place changed. Got their crap together. Come check it out. Don't mind the former reviews. They've never failed me. Foods so good Decor is cute. And comfy. We wanted to change our seats to inside because it was hot outside and our waitress let us:) Will return soon.

Unorganized staff! Hostess told us to wait a few mins, so we waited off to the side. After that a server came a sat the party behind us! We were told the server was already had too many tables so we left fearing how bad the service was.

Ruby R.
We have mixed feelings about this place. My boyfriend had the fish sandwich and I had the fish and chips. The fish and chips were okay but the rest of the food was bland and plain. This is a place id go back to if I really had no where else to go.

Drew F.
Didn't even get to go in. Found out that the only way to get in was to have a reservation when got there, they did have a waiting list which was a hour long wait. We decided to chance it seeing there were table open and it wouldn't be too long. To save time we were going to look at the menu so all we had to do was sit down and order...boy am I glad we did. This is a lot more expensive then the reviews said. Dinner for 2 was going to be 60 without any type of drink or desert . $$ is a bad representation of that. More like $$$, once we saw that we left and a good hour later we got a call that we could be seated.

Perfect place for happy hour!! My brother & I randomly stopped at Three's on our last night in Maui, and we wish we would have found this place much sooner in our vacation. We got there before happy hour started (I think the later one started at 9pm) and our waitress was nice enough to let us order early. When you can eat delicious sushi rolls, fish tacos, lettuce wraps, and each have a few cocktails for under $30 total, it is definitely a score! The food was honestly perfect and the drinks were nicely poured too, especially for happy hour! Besides the amazing food & drinks, the wait staff & atmosphere was awesome! When we were there they had surfing videos playing on the big screen and music going. For the amount of food we devoured, the drinks, and leaving with a full belly - it was cheaper than a number of other places we ate at on our trip, but the quality and atmosphere was 10 times better.

This was my favourite meal on Maui... Sat on the patio, listened to music under the lights on the tree. We ordered a bunch of appies and enjoyed Mai Tais. Highlights were the coconut shrimp and lettuce wraps. Fish tacos were just average and the drinks were Delish.

We came here to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. I ordered the mahi mahi and it was over cooked. My wife hade the spicy tuna roll, the seaweed was chewy and the ahi did not seem fresh. We had ahi at Leilani's in Kaanapoli and it melted in your mouth. NOT this. The Chardonnay we order was not good either. We were not offered a wine list just told the two Chard's they had. The bartender was informative but short.

Three year old review needs update. This is still one of the best pupu places in the South Maui area. Excellent variety of choices. It's also very accommodating to large groups. We took 11 over the Christmas holidays for a long lunch, and everything was excellent. Young kids were well taken care of, interesting menu options made everyone happy, and our waitress was fun from start to finish.

The patio dining was really cool and the live music was nice. Went here for lunch. We got the ahi & a crab cake, one drink each and one sushi roll & it was $75. I don't care if the food was good, that bill took all the fun out of it.

I'd recommend this for breakfast if you don't want to wait in line at Kihei Cafe (or if you want a more standard dining experience with someone waiting on you; Kihei Cafe is a "walk up to the counter and order" place). Get a seat outdoors if you can. They have a deck with a big tree. Nice ambiance. The breakfast was pretty standard, but good. I got an omelet, which came with toast and potatoes. No complaints. I think the food at Kihei Cafe is more creative and well-done, but I'd come back here too.

Overpriced and over-rated! First of all they sat us on the patio by the outside a/c unit so I had hot air blowing on me the entire time we were eating! We were seated early so there's no reason we couldn't have had a better seat! I didn't know until after it kicked on and started blowing hot air on me or I would have requested another seat (by that time they were full on the patio). We ordered an appetizer since they give you a free one! It was the best part of the meal, but again very over priced and not as good as the reviews and ads claim it is! We had the pork quesadilla, I would give it a 3 star rating. If the pork wasn't so dry it would have been much better! We ordered the Hawaiian style ribs and the Opakapaka which was the fish special of the night. I love this fish and it really is wonderful, unless its overcooked...and ours was! If you decide to eat here, and order fish, try it first and send it back if its not tasty and juicy! If you are paying this kind of money I should be done right the first time! The ribs were good but I have had much better! Again they make a big deal about these and they weren't all that amazing! The slaw was okay but tasted old and the presentation was fairly awkward and not plated well. A better side and presentation would have made this plate much better, I would give it 3 stars for taste alone. The service can sometimes be the saving grace for poor food, but I am sorry to say that this was lacking as well! Our waitress was either tired or upset or just out of it, because she just didn't really care about us or our experience. I tried to talk to a manager or owner, but they "were off catering an event" so there was conveniently no one to complain to! I love to support local businesses and love that this place is owned by three chefs that are friends, unfortunately they are not spending the time in the kitchen that they need to so that they can control the quality of the food they have designed!

Great happy hour! We ordered California roll and ahi roll both were great. Our total for 4 drinks and 2 rolls was $30....its been my favorite happy hour so far in Kihei! Tim our server was nice and prompt with our order-- can't say anything negative about our experience.

Monday night: Place was cute. Service was outstanding, Entertainment was outstanding. Spare Ribs were good in the center and tuff on the edges. Big chunks of potato skins were unexpected in what looked like mashed potatoes under the ribs with the greens on top. Have great photo of my dinner.

Great selection, food, music, but understaffed which renders service Inattentive & forgetful. I got yummy sushi rolls: rainbow & dragon.

Kalua pork sandwich was great. My husband loved it with the coleslaw. The coconut shrimp salad was a nice combination of fruit and spices. I'd go back in a flash.

This is our second visit to Threes and this time I wasn't as impressed as the first back in September 2013. Happy Hour margarita was cheap but cheap for a reason - very light on the tequila. Their outdoor seating is awesome but the sun just blares down on you and we had this annoying fly that kept crashing our little 2 person party. There were other tables in the shade but we had to sit at the few 2 tops. Sushi wasn't the best we've had on the island but it was good. Fish tacos were excellent. We sat inside at first while we waited for an outdoor spot to open up and ordered sushi at the sushi bar. They brought it to our table and we had to ask for sushi plates and chopsticks when the waiter brought out our sushi. Excellent wine selection though at great prices per bottle. Overall, I don't know if we'll be back again. There's a lot of similar spots in that little area and this one doesn't make my top list.

We decided to go here to have a nice dinner. When. We arrived the hostess told is it was a 20in wait, however after 30 mins of waiting we asked how much longer and we told a hour. We asked why were we told 20 mins and the hostess laughed and said we just got more reservations online. We were disappointed for this was not mentioned to us 30 minutes ago. The hostess said it is what it is and online reservations take priority even if we were waiting already. If we were told this before hand we would of not waisted our time. We travel often and love going to different restaurants as we are resturant critics. The sad part of this situation is one none caring employee can truly make an impact on a resturant.
Great oysters, chipotle chicken wings are amazing. The service was quick and attentive, and the drinks were delicious. Over all, great food, drinks, service and prices.

Very good typical Hawaiian fare with an outstanding outside dinning area. Make sure you checkin to get a free appetizer!

We stopped here for a last minute bite before headed to the airport and although not spectacular the prices were reasonable for Maui. I had the barbecue kalua pork sandwich which was just ok, but enjoyed the kimchi pickle. The others in my party ordered the ramen which had a nice presentation but was too sweet for our tastes. I wish we would have tried the fish market around the corner.

Great laid back dinner with good food and good happy hour deals. Big relief from being at the resort. Loved the fish tacos (about half off during happy hour!... Which is really a long and generous happy hour)

We stopped here when we got to Maui, it was in a cute outdoor shopping area. It has indoor and outdoor seating and an extensive menu from American style to sushi. We just wanted salad/plant food after sitting on an airplane for 5 hours. My bf had a coconut shrimp salad which was good he said, although the breaded, deep fried shrimp was probably unnecessary. (Grilled would have been nice and light). I had the kale salad, which was also yummy but small for the price. Overall nice for a quick and simple meal.

Service was really good, our waiter was very nice but the food was just ok. The fish was fresh but it wasn't anything amazing. But I would definitely go back in a pinch.

Went last night 1-7-15, this is a decent place for sushi although a bit overpriced 15 $ for a small martini glass about half filled with more seaweed then fish, and what fish is in their it was small pieces not big chunks like most places, the flovor was good just a bit odd in presentation, the yellowtail was excellent melt in your mouth. Now for the entrees. I had the mixed chopped plate, very bland the chicken was a small breast butterflied, crusted and cooked to the point the were it was dried out jerky topped with some kind of kimchee coleslaw, didn't like that at all. The coconut shrimp was just that nothing great not bad just okay, the flank steak was chewy and bla as well smothered in a tasteless sauce, the mashed purple potatoes were bland as well, for 30$ I would not order this again. My wife ordered the special coffee crusted pork. Hawaiians love their pork so this had to be a winner. Not, her meal tasted ok but, the problem is that the place is not very well lit and after she gave me a piece I looked at it and said you've been eating RAW PORK! of all the meats out their you never eat or serve raw pork Yuck!,.granted she ate about 1/2 the meal before realising it we told the manager and he apologized, but seriously never never never serve raw pig. He deducted 10$ of the bill , should have comp that meal but that's how it goes. The servers are very nice the sushi guys as well nice to talk to but the raw pork and the mixed plate meh. Won't do that again. Good place for pupus and drinks but I would stay away from the main dishes overpriced and just not very good. Again the staff was great to bad the food is not the same. Thanks for the chocolate mousse cake that actually was the hit of the evening and I didn't want that! I do like the restaurant good vibes here just please get it together in the entrees.

My best friend who lives in Kihei is a regular at this place. After an early day of work in Hilo then a flight over to Maui, it was nice to be greeted by a friendly face and seated right away. The staff was nice and quick. I ordered the kalua pork nachos for my appetizer which was pretty good, and had the fish and chips as my entree which wasn't as good as the nacho. My friend insisted on ordering dessert so I ordered the hot chocolate lava cake (you need to order this when you order your appetizers or dinner so that they start baking it). When it came time for dessert it came out piping hot straight from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, perfection. My friend had the banana bread pudding with caramel sauce and a scoop of Vanilla ice cream, also very good. Food is kinda pricey but worth it.

Two years ago on the first morning of our first trip to Maui we were lured here for breakfast by the banner on the side of the deck that said $3 mimosas! The food was great and we had the outside seating to ourselves. It became our favorite breakfast spot in Kihei! We've spent some nice happy hours here with live music outside too.

Personally, I liked the story of the guys that started it more than the food. Started with the lettuce wraps, which were decent. Got the surf & turf. Also middle if the road. Steak was cooked well, but it was covered in what seemed like canned beef gravy. Chicken was very salty for my taste. Coconut shrimp was coconut shrimp - if you've had it before, you know what you're going to get.

Three's was very average in most ways. We were seated inside, and the ambience was pretty much nonexistent. There was really no decor and the place looked very dated and worn. They brought a basket of a mix of thick cut potato chips (ICK!) and tortilla chips with a salsa that obviously came from a jar. We started with the sweet and spicy lettuce wraps that are made with ground turkey mixed with water chestnuts and tomatoes. I thought the tomato bit was odd because they were raw and thrown in to the hot turkey mixture. I think they would have been better cooked. The lettuce wasn't really crisp enough for this purpose, so the wraps were messy and fell apart easily. The turkey and the sauce it was served with were both very very good, though! We decided on two sushi rolls for dinner. We had the Volcano Roll, which is considered a "must have" by the restaurant and the rock n' roll roll. The rock n' roll was AMAZING! It was filled with unagi and avocado and topped with ahi and unagi glaze. DELICIOUS! The volcano roll was very okay. It was basically a california roll with salmon and ahi on top and drenched in spicy mayo. We didn't bother finishing that one. This place is alright. I wouldn't want to go back, but if I did, I would definitely order the rock n' roll again!

We love Threes, especially the happy hour. The drinks are good. The service is Maui perfect - relaxed but present. The food is good - the nachos are amazing. (Three kinds of homemade chips with BBQ pork? What's not to love.) And the prices are very reasonable, especially for Maui. Just go. You'll be glad you did.

I had a great experience here while on vacation for a friend's wedding. They were accommodating of our large-ish party and were friendly and helpful. I annoyingly requested to have my dish rushed because I had a plane to catch, and they continued to be accommodating by bringing it out quite quickly...! I ordered the "Poke Bowl", and it was delicious! I didn't get to stay to try much else, but I enjoyed what I did get.

Scouter R.
Outdoor seating Live music at lunch Damn good food and service. Surprising to find this place hidden around a corner - recommended by some friends Top 3 choices for lunch: 1.Ramen - yeah, I know what you are thinking, but this is not the ramen you peel the lid off of and add hot water; this is RAMEN. 2. Fresh island mahi mahi - so flavorful, you will lick the plate 3. Panko crusted ahi roll (actually an appetizer, but the kind of appetizer you wish was a full roll) Go forth and enjoy

I had heard a lot about Three's and when my family of 4 visited Maui we decided to check it out. Three's is located in Central Kihei near many bars and shops, and I think when they chose this location they probably also chose a more casual feel for the inside of the restaurant. Surfing footage was projected onto a huge screen in the dining room. But I feel the food and service at Three's was as good or better than a much more traditional "fine dining" restaurant. We ordered the turkey lettuce wraps as an appetizer and these were the best lettuce wraps I have ever tasted, hands down. I ordered the mixed grill and my husband ordered some steak on ramen noodles. Both of our dinners were delicious. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and we appreciated that the food we ordered was something original that you aren't going to get just anywhere. My kids were happy with their meals too. I can't remember what they ordered, but there is a kids' menu. Three's has a great wine list and my server had a good command of what was on it, plus they have a good selection of beers and cocktails that you couldn't get just anywhere. Our service was perfect and overall I felt that our dinner was a great value. If Three's were located on the beach in Wailea, they would be able to get away with charging 2-3 times what they charged us for our dinners, and they would probably do quite well there...I wouldn't be surprised if they upgrade someday. But until then, Three's gives me one more thing to love about Kihei, my favorite neighborhood on Maui.

Stopped here for a late lunch after the beach. We ordered the appetizer sampler which includes crab cakes, nachos, and coconut shrimp. Crab cakes weren't very good, didn't taste and crab just breading. We also got habanero and chipotle wings which were really spicy and California rolls. Its a good place for happy hour, don't know if I would come back for a full meal.

Decided to stop by the food truck on my way to dropping off my rental car and heading back to the mainland. The menu is fairly large, the choices all look enticing, and the chef was courteous. I ordered a coconut encrusted fish sandwich with spicy aioli with grilled pineapple, lettuce, and tomato. It cost $10. I had my food quickly. I dropped off the rental car and chowed down. The fish was cooked perfectly. Excellent texture and taste from the crust. The Hawaiian roll also made a nice touch. Plus caramelized grilled pineapple is always delicious when done correctly. My only complaint: I should've asked for extra aioli.

Our first day in Maui and already we can't get enough of this place. Three's has a great little happy hour and fast service. We had the pork nachos, which was amazing, the crab cakes and the coconut shrimp. I'd get each one of those again. Great view from the deck and cute little lights strung up outside that made the ambiance really nice after the sunset.
(5)Nancy C.
The Mediterranean Salad is really yummy! The 3-0 prosecco caipiroska packs a refreshing punch. The ambience is choose your own. I highly recommend!!
(5)Marie-Louise O.
Went to dinner here with my parents and my boyfriend. There was live music, would've preferred Hawaiian, this guy was jamming whatever he wanted, nice but I'm a sucker for that traditional music. We started with Kalua pork nachos and I had a Maui Mango drink, if you are into fruit cocktails this one has got fresh pineapple, muddled raspberry purée and juice along side the alcohol, sort of like a fruit-tini. The nachos were good, maybe a little more pork but tasty. For an entree I got the ribs, melt off the bone ribs. Great seasoning and sauce. A specialty there's does. The mash was a tad disappointing, I probably would opt for fries as a substitute if I could do it again. Overall a very pleasant evening. Also check out the market across the way, they share the same parking lot and its a great spot for tiki mugs, jewelry, and the typical Hawaiian souvenir run. My boyfriend and I even got the "Post-a-nut" coconut postcards to send out, 20 bucks fully inspected and painted ready to send in the mail. A really fun alternative to the traditional postcard! :)
(4)Trevor G.
Go for happy hour! They're very accomodating even near closing, and they make very good happy hour cocktails. The Sushi and pork taco are excellent.
(5)Mike K.
Mrs says make sure they get 5 stars. For overall experience she's absolutely right. Easy top rating for happy hour, starting at 3:00, but be aware, it fills up fast. Kahlua pork tacos are excellent. We think the coconut shrimp is better than our favorite fish place, Coconuts. Sushi rolls are not Sansei, but darn good for the price, roughly 1/2. 4plates and 3 Mail Tais around $30, and we're full and happy. Ambience, music, and service are all 5 stars.
(5)Cord N.
I enjoy the Happy Hour at 3's w/ their nice and shady outdoor patio..... They dish out tasty snacks to munch on and feature great drink prices. Overall, I would give this about 4-Stars ..... But, this until the "ATTACK OF THE FLIES" starts and the buggy assault hits your table in search for any crumb to munch on...... Literally, you must eat fast and hunched over your food - with your arm wrapped around your plate to fend off the nasty flying creatures.... I am not really sure what 3's could do about this major bug problem, but it is major annoying and makes me want to eat inside to escape the wrath of the FLIES.
(3)Sunny D.
The Food is amazing, the Service is top notch, and the it has one of the best Atmospheres in Maui!
(5)Darrell K.
I only came by for breakfast. I should have realize that there was no crowd here that I was going to be disappointed. They weren't bad. I really didn't fly all the way to Hawaii and not get something local. The breakfast were typical fare that you can find in any American restaurant.
(2)Steven L.
The food and drinks here are fantastic and I gave them one extra star because they had someone out on the deck singing that had an amazing voice which helped make up for the fact that the servers are not very enthusiastic. We went to this place twice and both times had the same experience. If they could just get some people that were excited about being there it would be perfect. Good job getting Elaine Ryan to sing, it earned you an extra star.
(4)Mahina L.
I'd definitely come back to three's. I loved that we were seated next to an open window and our waiter was really great. The fish and chips, hurricane fries, and kalua pig quesadilla's were great. The crab cakes, panko ahi sushi, and coconut shrimp were just alright.
(4)Tammy K.
Great restaurant in Kihei with great Hawaiian food and awesome drinks. I had the cucumber and ginger Collins, nice cool and refreshing drink. I had the macadamia nut crusted chicken, it was perfectly cooked and delicious and moist. I liked my sugar snap peas and sticky rice. The papaya salsa was a nice addition. These restaurant gives out chips and salsa. An extra star for service, Samantha was great and checked on us frequently. I will be back for their happy hour specials and lava pie!
(5)Katerina M.
Very refreshing place in a hot day with delicious food and cocktails. We enjoyed live music at the shady lanai.
(5)M. W.
We had their Mahi Mahi fish and chips, which was pretty impressive... good enough for me to go back for it a second time during my short week-long vacation in Maui. It's easy to make decent fish n chips, but not so easy to make a great one - my compliments to the chef. Convenient location, comfortable environment, and efficient & friendly service. A bit pricey, but so are all the other restaurants in this area.

So me and 6 others rolled in after a beach and car day. I was ready to drop with hunger. We grabbed a great patio table next to a big tree with a perfect view of the ocean. I'm always wary of live music because I find it intrusive and loud but this guy, I wish I got his name was so amazing. Just him and his guitar. He played beautifully. His voice was perfect! He did so many songs just one after another and each was so good. He actually relaxed me enough to forget my shiny sunburnt face. On to the food! It was happy hour so I needed sushi and a taco stat. Oh and a marg on the rocks ;) grabbed a pork taco and a salmon avocado roll. Salmon was fresh. The avocado was fresh. Rice was cooked perfectly. The taco was bleeping amazing. Tender and juicy, with a spicy sauce that wasn't overpowering. No regrets whatsoever. Everyone in the group was so happy with their choices. To break it down we ordered: salmon avocado roll. Pork taco. Fish taco. Chicken wings. Coconut crusted shrimp. Kalua pork nachos. Penncoves oysters. Spicy tuna roll. Tekka maki roll. I'll point out one of our party is a picky eater, but the dish they ordered actually satisfied them. The service was fantastic. I have a gluten intolerance so I hate asking about my options. I saw the just ask on the menu so before ordering the taco I asked about the shell and it was corn. Hurray! And seriously it should be. And like a miracle because I ordered with gluten free taco in mind our server ( I didn't catch his name :( ) said "so you're gluten free? Ok I'll bring you some tamari for your roll" without the eye roll I usually get. Honestly I have never felt less annoying for being gluten intolerant because of that guy. Water was refilled on a regular which is great on a hot day. The view to the beach was great even across the road. The sun was just going down. My only and seriously one gripe was the bar lime in the marg. Other than that it was a fantastic much needed beautiful patio and food experience. If you're ever in Kihei just go. No regrets.
(4)David S.
Came here with my family 4 times during our trip, twice for breakfast and twice for dinner. We sat in the nice outdoor patio where they have live music playing even in the morning, very nice. Breakfast and dinner food items were great, drinks were great, and service was good. My family was very pleased and would certainly recommend this place to others. Also their in house mango habanero sauce is awesome!
(4)Jesse N.
Fantastic happy hour deal. Had the panko crusted ahi roll, spicy tuna roll, salmon/avocado roll and coconut shrimp. That last one is the clear winner, with a spicy pineapple/mango salsa.
(5)Jerome S.
Friendly staff, great happy hour menu. Sushi was good along with the crabcakes. Big lounge with projector tv, good place for a very reasonable lunch. Would go here again for sure.
(4)Bill M.
We stopped for drinks and appetizers. The apps we had (Portuguese pork tacos, crab cakes) were quite good. Great outdoor atmosphere with live music. Very relaxing. They have a great happy hour mid-afternoon, too! Our service was horrible, however. (The reason for my 3 star review). We had a very dis-interested waitress (Danielle) who really looked like she didn't want to be there. I asked for a soft drink, she repeated it...then promptly forgot. She didn't check on us. Even the people at the next table were giving looks as she practically tossed them a menu and walked away.
(3)Dustin C.
Went for happy hour, had a great experience. Friendly staff, quick service. Fish tacos were very good (although I can't see paying the regular 6$/taco, seems a bit crazy). Coconut shrimp also great. Sushi rolls were really fresh (duh) and super tasty. Mai tais were really good as well. The only complaint we had was the crazy amount of flies that swarmed the food after it was brought out. Sitting outside I'm not sure what you can do about it, but it was kind of an issue! As a bonus the live music on the patio was awesome. Not too loud, and definitely talented. No qualms about recommending this place for happy hour!
(4)Sandra C.
Really??? Kailua pork quesadilla $7.25. Cut in quarters. One of the quarters had nothing in it. Tourist trap!
(1)Grace H.
Service from the staff were great!! Food came out in timely matter and quality is good and reasonable priced. I'll recommend friends to go. Well done!!
(4)Dennis L.
Bland food. Ok setting. Somehow my nacho chips were burned. I don't know how you burn nachos, but they did. The fish sandwich lacked the essential ingredient of flavor. One person in our group ordered the salad and was satisfied. The patio seating is nice, but the trees drop a lot of leaves onto the tables below if it's a windy day. Also, don't sit too close to the musician they have on the patio. The music can be a bit loud to some (so said Captain Obvious).
(2)Leslie T.
Good tasting fresh food. We had the pork nachos, ribs, and island burger. Patio with live music. Happy hour starts at 3. Good selection of appetizer, salads, sandwiches, fish entrees, and even rolls.
(5)K F.
We where going to go to the kehei cafe up front, but the line was long and we didn't want to eat our breakfast, with people's butt in our faces as they waited in line. So right behind there is the three's bar & grill. It was very good my wife said it was the best eggs Benedict she's ever had. Friendly staff. It was so good we're going back for dinner.
(4)Larry C.
Sit on the patio and listen to nice music; not too loud so that you can hear what your date has to say. Love the Peruvian pork tacos, coconut crusted shrimp and kalua pork quesadillas. Huh, guess I like pork. My best friend /date /wife had a couple of sushi rolls (California and spicy tuna) which she thought were great. She too likes the Peruvian tacos as well as the fish tacos. Just $3- during happy hour. We live here in Kihei and enjoy walking down knowing we are going to have great food in a nice atmosphere. Aloha-
(4)Michelle S.
Absolutely delicious meal! Wonderful service. Highly recommend! The ribs and fish special were amazing.
(5)Karl C.
Very good Kale and Ahi salad with unique flavors. Very tasty, but very pricey. Service was fair as Mai Tai came well after salad/entre arrived. Just started a 6 month stay here. Hoping for better.
(2)Adrienne F.
We went for dinner one night and it was ok, after a long wait, but another night we went back for happy hour and loved it--hence the 5 stars. The tacos were great and the sushi was even better. A young woman provided some excellent live music on 5/18.
(5)Daniel A.
Best happy hour! Wailea quality food at reasonable prices!!!yes yes and more yes!!! Highly recommended!!!!!
(5)Brannon S.
Overall we were happy with our lunch there. Good selection and friendly employees. We stuck with appetizers as our lunch. Primarily the Kaluha pork nachos and Kaluha pork quesadillas. I couldn't recommend these two items more. Tasted so good. Only thing odd was that the patio was full and we were the only ones sitting inside and there seemed to be ample servers around. Every time a server passed they were complaining about how busy they were. Many flies once our food came that were not there when we sat down. I have a feeling that's just time of year and that village with all the shops and food packed in there.
(3)Chris C.
Go there for happy hour and sit outside. Pork Nachos. Tacos and wings are delicious. I'd think the bill could get high if you didn't go for happy hour, great spot by the beach.
(4)Kevin S.
Great breakfast, laid back local atmosphere. Florentine Benedict was poached to perfection. Great service & reasonable prices. A welcome change from the resort restaurants in the area.
(5)Eating D.
I was drawn to this place one night in Kihei because of the live music. THere's always something to say about live music while eating dinner in their patio area. Service was great and the oysters are phenomenal. I recommend going through their sushi list because their sushis are outstanding. I also went for the Poke however, I feel like it's a little overpriced when I was able to get a good one for 10 bucks in Kahului. But then again, this is in a busy touristy area so I would assume that had a lot to do with the pricing.
(3)Angela L.
Really wanted fish and chips. Sad to say they were completely without any flavor. The atmosphere outside was lovely and had live music which was a plus.
(2)Rachel M.
These people are idiots. While waiting 40 minutes for a table I asked the hostess for a breakfast menu. At this point it was 10:45 and she told us breakfast was finished and they had moved on to lunch. Though disappointed and annoyed that no one thought let us know this earlier, we figured we would find something on the lunch menu. When they finally seated us we looked over the lunch menus we had been given when seated. The waitress came over and we ordered a plate of nachos. A minute later the manager came over and asked "what is the situation?" I told her, "we just want to order nachos." She informed us the kitchen was on break and they were not serving food. How one gets seated in a restaurant that does not serve food at 11:00 am is beyond me, but it happened. We wasted an hour waiting and ultimately left hungry and annoyed. This sort of miscommunication is unacceptable.
(1)Jeanine M.
I love this place for happy hour 3-6 pm. Asian flair, bold favors. This is my 5th time here...grazing my way through the menu. Lettuce wraps yummy, and fish tacos, small but flavor does disappoint. Drinks and excellent music on the patio!
(5)Dalia Y.
Great lunch spot right near the beach. We came twice for lunch during our trip and loved it both times. Janice our server was so sweet and friendly, she even remembered all our names when we saw her again! I got the pulled pork the first time, which doesn't look like much in the plate - but tastes amazing! I also had the BLT, tasted the coconut crusted fish sandwich, and the kale salad. We also got some beers which were perfect for a warm Maui afternoon. Great service and delicious lunch!
(5)R L.
Our third time here was not pleasant. We arrived about 7:30pm, and went to the bar while we waited for a table out on the lanai. The bartender shorted me on the cash purchase, and didn't offer a receipt. We were seated outside quickly, but under the singer's speaker, and we could not have a conversation. We were moved upon request to an open table and never were approached by a server for the next twenty minutes. We were ignored, as those around us were served. We spoke with the manager, who identified himself as Mark. He said maybe there was a reduction in the number of servers as we were seated. Our other meals and service was excellent. We had Janice our first time and she was excellent. Interestingly enough, the gentleman next to us at the bar was overcharged for his drink and the bartender said "oops! my math isn't so good tonight". I was thinking she was ripping off the bar, us, or both!
(2)Rachel O.
This is a great spot, and we definitely recommend it! The food and service were great, and we loved sitting on the patio in the evening.
(5)Anne B.
I wanted to write this review because we just had our wedding reception at three's in the Surf Lounge. The planning had a few bumps along the way but when it was all said and done they were very flexible and helpful to make my special day amazing. Food was great, service was good, and they helped when we had questions. The only two issues we had consisted of the music not working at the start of the night for about 20-30 minutes, and when we got our final quote I was a little surprised at the total costs with tax and service included. It was worth it but it would have been nice to have a rough final cost from the start seeing it was about 25% for the tax and service. All in all it was a great experience and I would use them again. Everyone loved the food and had a great time.

Can only speak for the HH menu. Had pork nachos, sushi, pork quesidilas, letteucw wraps, and coconut shrimp. Everything was real good
(4)Brian S.
Good Place to take a date for a weekend breakfast, They have music and the good is good but little bit on the pricy side. Coffee is average but they keep filing your cup and they treat you well,

Great experience. We went during happy hour and ordered 2 appetizers each, as a lunch. We got the crap cakes, coconut schrimp, quesadillas and salat. The schrimp and crap cakes in particular was great. The other two dishes were good, but more marginal. We were seated outside, where a young girl was performing. She was indeed a great singer! We had a male server, who made sure that we had a great time. A female server came by once. Seemed a bit more indifferent in her attitude. All in all a great experience. Would come back.

I'd give this place 4 starts if there was a better view other than the parking view. Also the food is good and constantly good, we returned a few days later, it's just that based on the price, it should be relative to the pricing. Our first waiters on our original visit was superb, on our return visit the 2nd gal seemed tired and not very pleasant.

Horrible treatment. We walked up on a Tuesday at 4:30 with my family. They had a band going outside. I had heard about this place from a local at the hotel so we thought we would try it out. I walked and said to the hostess, I have 5 and would like to try the happy hour. I mentioned that because I read a couple posts about them only honoring the happy hour inside. She said she didn't have anything available when there 2 tables open. Ok, so I thought, someone might have a reservation. So I asked her if we waited how long she thinks it would be, she said "you can try back at 7 or 8 or maybe another day". Now that might also be reasonable except the fact was, we were the only ones there waiting for a table. I would not waste my time. We then walked down to Cuatro... Phenomenal.

I have only ever been for brunch but I am obsessed. I was in town visiting for a week and actually ate here twice. Their banana macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup literally takes your taste buds to a whole new level. They have a delicious french press coffee, great mimosas and a lovely outdoor seating area on the deck. The stuffed french toast with guava was ok and I probably wouldn't waste my carb intake on those (stick with the pancakes) The build your own omelettes also do not disappoint. I didn't personally order the Hawaiian Loco Moco but it is my friends favorite who live there.
(4)Mark M.
Great vibe,and great food make it a great place for family or just some time with friends!

This restaurant had great reviews, so we went in expecting to have a great dinner. I was also happy that they offered a coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase of two entrees "for giving them a try." I thought Three Chef friends should have a pretty firm grasp on good food, right? However, the experience was inadequate and underwhelming, at best. My cocktail was just okay, la paloma. Please know that I love Palomas and li hing mui, but it was not well balanced. The appetizer, the sampler, was average but I was still hopeful about the entrees. I ordered the Prime Rib and my friend ordered the Surf and Turf (two of the most expensive dishes mind you). With my entree I also ordered red wine. When the wine arrived, after my entree (which was okay, but just giving you an idea of the service quality) I took a sip post bite, only to realize the wine (Malbec) was ice cold. I asked the hostess, who was walking by, if there was a reason for the red wine being cold. Her response, "I'm not the bartender. " so, I asked my waitress, Lauren, when she walked by if there was a reason and she let me know that all their wines are chilled. I asked if they had any room temperature wines and she said, "No! Would you like something else?" But, I wanted a decent, room temp red wine with my steak, forgive me. So, I settled for a warm cup of water to attempt to warm my wine over. I was so shocked by the late arriving cold red wine, that I forgot to mention to the waitress that my prime rib was luke-warm. And, my friend's flat iron steak, also missed the mark. It was dry and flavorless. Now, as we asked for the bill I made the waitress aware of the coupon for the free appetizer. She said, "okay". And returned moments later to explain that the sampler isn't included in the offer, though nothing mentioned this on the coupon or on the menu. I explained the same and that we had ordered the most expensive items on the menu, along with drinks. Finally, the manager agreed to honor the coupon. The worst part of the experience was a toss up between the disappointing food / drinks and the overall service, though Lauren had a nice demeanor. The best part of the night, By Far, was the gentleman playing music on the front dining patio. He was stellar, great song selection, voice and guitar playing.
(1)Anne M.
Tried the restaurant today. Service, ambiance, music was good. Pleasant people. Food was okay. Nothing to write home about. Not pricey but thought the food could be better for the quality of food. For example, I had a scrambled egg entree and add-ons are priced per item and the dish came out to $16 for a 3-egg scramble. If you're asking me, it is not worth it.
(3)Frank H.
Great place for Fish Tacos and Top shelf mai tai's. Poke bowl is on the list to order!
(5)Ben T.
We went to the restaurant after hearing about their food. We started with their yelp free app deal, and the lettuce wraps were easily good enough to trade a kidney in for. I would have traded my daughter for more but the wife would have got mad I think. The beer selection was above average and the tuna entree was excellent. One star off for the wife's salmon - it was a bit wimpy and not up to par with the rest of the meal. The price wasn't terrible and sitting outside was a great experience. Its good for kids although the live music inside can be a bit loud at times.
(4)A P.
My favorite place in Maui. The lettuce wrap is my new favorite thing! Delicious!
(5)Jamie L.
Tried Three's for breakfast, so this review is based solely on my breakfast experience. I had the breakfast sandwich and hubby had the loco moco. We overheard the waitress say the eggs benedict was their most popular item, so I guess we chose the wrong items! The menu isn't extesive, in fact it's almost basic. Food is bland, tasteless and even a few good shakes of salt n pepper didn't help my sandwich. Hubby said the loco moco was "average at best" and also said it was tasteless. He's had loco mocos 4 times at 4 different places while we were at home this time and said this one was the most boring. Prices are average - $12-$14 for breakfast. Coffee is another $2.50. Maybe it's a little high, but then again its on S. Kihei Rd, so perhpas those prices are competitive, not sure. Btw, nice looking patio area to eat on which would make for a great happy hour spot as other reviewers have mentioned. Open aired inside with a handful of tenacious flies, so that may have actually been the better option in hindsight.
(2)Christina H.
Surprisingly low prices for the location and quality of food! I came for breakfast and really enjoyed my quesadilla and mimosa and the outside patio seating with live local music. Service was great too with no wait for a table on 4th of July morning. I will be back. My new preferred breakfast spot in Kihei.
(4)Jeff C.
Well, last morning in Maui. Left the hotel in Wailea and headed for Kihei for breakfast. Had read some reviews about Three's Bar and Grill for dinner but thought we would check out breakfast before our flight home. Food and service were both great. The restaurant is located in a cool outdoor shopping area with chickens running around so we requested to sit outside. Really nice.
(5)April C.
This place was awesome, was the only clean looking place around the park, our waitress was very nice, we had a coconut crusted fish burger, was outstanding! Has big screen surf video on the wall. My kids don't eat meat, the mac n cheese looked good but my kids didn't like that it was actual pasta & not traditional macaroni, aside from that, ill def be back!
(5)Annette M.
Great Happy Hour Menu 3-6pm.. half off pupu's , some sushi rolls, $3 drinks, and live music. Service was just OK.... Our gal forgot a dish and handled the situation poorly but we will venture back and give them another shot.
(4)Erika B.
Great outdoor seating and live music! Food and service were amazing! You have to get the Kahlua Pork Nachos!
(5)Jody J.
Wow! This was seriously good. We were referred here by someone working at our resort. The server was very helpful. I have a gluten allergy and she was extremely helpful. She volunteered that our choice of starter could be made without gluten. We ordered sushi and the special which was a fish dish with rice vegetables and a curry sauce. Both were fantastic . Ambiance was nice. Live music but not too loud. We would definitely recommend this place.
(5)Denise R.
We had to set our selfs got our own menus and the server walked by us severely times and never said a thing to us after 20 min we left. Bad service. When i told the host on the way out that we never got served she didn't say anything.
(1)Gary M.
After a travel day from Kauai to Maui, picking up rental car and doing Costco duties we were tired but hungry for some "food food" within walking distance from our condo. We wanted no fuss no muss. Three's had a lovely outdoor patio so we checked out the menu - SUSHI...in. After 1 month of no sushi we were hooked and we ventured in. The menu has a lot of good options. Fresh fish, asian fusion and Hawaiian staples. The Verdict: Home made sweet potato chips and salsa. TASTY. Sushi:TASTY Trio of sliders ~two beef, one crab cake!! : TASTY Service: very FRIENDLY Three TASTY + 1FRIENDLY= 4 star rating of approval. g
(4)Tommy H.
Great service and food tucked away in Kihei. I wish we had been able to take advantage of their happy hour specials. Definitely give them a try. The sushi, crab cakes, and macadamia encrusted chicken were all excellent!
(4)Alex A.
Don't love this place by any means. The drinks are cheap which is wonderful, especially for Maui. The only reason for the two stars is because of price and because my wife order lettuce wraps and really loved it, my sushi was just okay at best. The service was a little inattentive and our waitress Sam was extremely short, but maybe that was just because they were busy.... actually... they weren't busy so yeah she stinks. Overall the "healthy" food was good but overall, I'm over it.
(2)Jason C.
Only ate there for breakfast, which was decent food. Wasn't quite as good and smaller portions than kihei caffe. Price was about the same, but a little higher after paying tip. I would say it's a good option if you don't have cash and don't want to pay an ATM fee to get money at kihei, or want the full sit down restaurant atmosphere as far as not having to wait in line to order, otherwise, I would stick to kihei caffe. Had a nice guitarist and singer on the deck while eating, which was nice.
(3)Ashley T.
I came with my family for New Year's Eve dinner with high expectations, but I was pretty disappointed after the meal. I really wanted to love the food especially because the descriptions sounded like perfect combinations of flavor; however, it's really hard to get Asian fusion right. We started with the kalua pork quesadillas and the panko-crusted ahi. The quesadillas were probably one of the better dishes I had because of the tender meat and spicy mango chutney topping. The panko-crusted ahi roll lacked the right kind of sushi rice, the side sauce overwhelmed the fish, and the avocado and ahi in the roll were tiny compared to the rice and fried panko. I had the poke bowl, which came with a bowl of shoyu poke, Japanese sushi rice, and seaweed salad. The only thing I enjoyed on the plate was the seaweed salad, which was seasoned relatively well and tasted refreshing. The poke was extremely over-dressed, with the sticky soy sauce and raw onions overwhelming all of the delicateness of the fish. I struggled to choke down the ahi, pairing it with huge amounts of average sushi rice just to mask the salt. After the meal, I kept downing water because of the extreme sauciness of the dish. I recommend that you try dishes on the menu that are less Asian, such as the ribs or the macademia-crusted chicken breast. These dishes are done a little bit better as they take on the heavy-handed preparation a little bit better.
(2)Andrea G.
Solid place for happy hour. Very reasonable prices and good food. I would definitely recommend and will return.
(4)Ish A.
It's good and an affordable lunch. There were a few things, however, that could be improved. The coconut crusted fish sandwich has too much lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and slaw. Yes I could take off the excess if I want, but they should know to plate it with less from the get-go. Second, the sesame bun just isn't that good. Service was excellent. Wine selection is good. I thought about coming back for dinner but a fish sandwich should really be more about the fish and it wasn't.
(3)Nicole M.
We arrived before they were serving their dinner menu, so we started with the "happy hour" menu. It felt like we were an after thought. Once 5 pm arrived, we were able to order from their dinner menu. The food was decent, nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either. It was a bit pricy, but that is pretty much normal for Maui. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be wowed either.
(3)Susan C.
This place was ok, nothing exciting. Our group of 8 was seated pretty quickly for happy hour. Ordered the wings, a bunch of the sushi rolls and some mai tais, nothing remarkable... Except for the super hot hostess. :)
(2)Andrew C.
4 star happy hour. $3 drinks, get a Mai tai and a good menu of half price apps. Many of the people around me ordered the pita salad, it was a good size Cesare salad on a pita it looked good. The menu also featured oysters, crab cakes, pork tacos etc. .. I ordered the Panko crusted ahi roll. It was good I also got the fish taco .. Not as good. I would go back for happy hour again.
(4)Nicole E.
A year later, and happy hour at Three's is still the best, but wait, yesterday it was even better. How is it possible that I am MORE OBSESSED?! Here's a couple reasons: 1) Live music! From a girl whose name I wish I could remember, but she had a spectacular voice, sweet acoustic guitar abilities, and she could even sing in French! 2) Delicious fresh shucked oysters for $1.50 each... need I say more? Not to mention the kalua pork nachos that I think I had dreams about last night, fresh sushi for days, and enough $3 mai tais to float you away.
(5)Vikéndios N.
Atmosphere: Casual, open-air restaurant with outdoor seating (no views but great for people watching.) One half of the restaurant is known as the "surf lounge" which includes the entertainment stage, bar, high-seated tables, regular tables, and a pretty cool sofa seating area. Food: Complimentary chips & salsa - Good. Not sure what they were made of (possibly pita, but they were a burnt purple color) with salsa for dipping. Hawaiian jambalaya - Okay. Creole rice topped with kalua pork, ginger soy chicken, Portuguese sausage and pepper jack cheese. The rice tasted like Spanish rice, which was disappointing. I couldn't taste the chicken because the kalua pork was very over-powering. There was a small amount of Portuguese sausage and an overkill of pepper jack cheese (like a lasagna topping.) Service: There was only 1 hostess at peak dinner time. Waited about 15 minutes to be seated because she had to help the wait staff set tables. She was obviously multi-tasking but was very professional about it. Our waitress was awesome. Overall: I haven't been here enough to give it a true star rating, the menu really didn't appeal to me. I'd go back to have some cocktails & apps but will probably skip dinner.
(3)Johnny T.
We came here with about 20 of us. I ordered the jambalaya, my kids had the sushi and my wife had the pork quesadilla. We were all pleased with our meals. As usual, I tasted everything. I really liked the sauces that came with the quesadilla. The sushi tasted fresh and the rice on it was good. I liked my jambalaya but the texture made it feel like the rice was overlook. It wasn't the best jambalaya but it hit the spot. However it wasn't worth the $22 they charged.
(4)T M.
We thought we'd try someplace different in Kihei and realized that their marketing is not congruent with their food. Owners are portrayed to be 3 experienced chefs who have joined to put together this upscale restaurant. Everyone was friendly and the service was great. It's too bad the food did not live up to our expectations. It seemed like the owners had to cut back on portion size to meet budget. This place may fit for others, but not us. Can't recommend it nor will go back.
(1)tony z.
We enjoyed excellent friendly service...the food was decent and not overly pricey. I'd say good job on the owners. You hired well in what must be a tough labour market.
(5)Adri A.
Update... 1/2013. I finally returned to threes after my last unfortunate experience and I must say the place has dramatically improved for the better!... The hostess was friendly and everyone said hello as we walked to the table. Our server was knowledgeable about the wine list and my red was served at the PErfect temperature for this warm tropical climate! The place was clean and kept again. The crab cakes were delicious!! Absolutely must try if u like tm.. MY fish dish was adapted from the chicken preparation for lunch and I was verrry pleased. I liked the chicken preparation but I wanted fish so they happily subbed for me :) .. I will definitely return again when in MAui and I'm glad things are good again at threes!!!!
(4)Daniel B.
I went to Threes for lunch today with a coworker. We both got the daily special, which was the chef's island take on a Cajun oyster Po Boy with shrimp gumbo. He managed to capture the depth and spirit of Cajun and the freshness and exoticism of the island in a fantastic meal. I love Cajun food and his version is amazing.
(5)Mark D.
Service and attention was excellent, server and manager were both totally on top of things! The food was amazing from the crab cake appetizers to the catch of the day, everything was very good! The sauces and preparation was top notch! Am excellent choice for a nice dinner in Kihei!
(5)Jacqui G.
Last night in Maui and was seeking something "islandy"; stumbled upon this neighborhood eatery and was thoroughly disappointed. From the unenthusiastic greeting at the door to the end of our dining experience, I don't think this place deserves a recommendation. If it wasn't for the attentive busboy and manager who was very helpful, our server lady would have gotten a side of serving etiquette 101 with her zero tip. Even when asked to return my sister and my super late entrees, she basically refused and insisted the food had arrived already. Apparently a table of seven and a tab of (what would have been) well over $100 was not motivation enough to provide the quality service one would need to receive a well deserved 20%+ tip. Our hungry tummies (at 9:15pm) had to move on to the next eatery ... :-/
(2)Cescily R.
This place is OK. I ordered hamachi nigiri and the fish was chewy and didn't taste fresh. Then I ordered the volcano roll and it was pretty good. The waitresses aren't really on top of things. Took forever to get drinks and to order more food because they hardly came around. The live music was great tho
(3)Regina W.
After reading good reviews I decided to try Three's. Servers were indifferent, watered down margarita and very bland food. I had the Kalua Pork Nachos. Live music advertised but the stage was empty the whole time I was there. I'm on Maui working and looking for places to take family and friends to eat. I won't be returning!!
(1)Jessica A.
I booked a table for 14 people for a 5:15 reservation at 3pm in the afternoon day of. Our table was ready as soon as we got there and everyone was VERY happy with the food. And loved the atmosphere. Our server was awesome! Food and drinks came out very fast considering our groups size! We will definitely be back before we leave!
(5)Jae L.
We had dinner on September 19, that was a terrible experience to dinning in Maui, overall the food was 1 star, Kale salad was good, Sushi roll was okay, but the Ramen was terrible,noodle was rattan,not like Japaneses authentic Ramen that we have in California, this was sort of dry Ramen. if you expect to have good Ramen this is not the place to go. Our waitress I forgot her name, she is a middle age lady with a bad attitude, she ignored us for abut 20 minutes when we set there, we saw her chatting to other table customer for over 20 minutes, then she came over with an evil eyes no greeting no smiling, then she serve our salad with Ramen together, we told her we want salad first then Ramen when we ordered, she start to arguing with us, what kind of server is? We almost leave the table, that was a really bad dinner experience, we ever had. She ruin our dinner, not a mention ruin the restauranteur reputation. We talk to the manager in the store he didn't say a word, not even a apologize, we will never go back again. If you wanna have a good Sushi or roll, I recommend Sansei, they are authentic Japanese restaurant, you can set at the Sushi bar watch Japanese chef prepare your order, their food was great ( 4 starts). Overall the food was 1 star, service was 0 star.
(1)Doug P.
Absolutely outstanding happy hour from 3-6PM! We came here twice during our one week stay on Maui! The happy hour has both food and drinks (including various half-priced appetizers and $3 Mai Tais, among other options). Additionally, the food portions were quite generous, definitely not smaller portions because of the price. The sushi rolls were fantastic! There was live guitar music out on the patio, and the ambiance was terrific. Overall a great place for happy hour.
(5)Z H.
Our server Was amazing gave great suggestions. Pancakes, loco moco and fuego bloody Maria were all exceptional. Would love to come back next time in maui
(5)Rhonda S.
We came to find a quiet place to catch up and have a glass of wine. The hostess seated us on the back lanai, and it was perfect. Quiet, but could still hear the entertainment. Wine was great and atmosphere perfect.
(5)Mareeka S.
Favorite place for happy hour! I recommend the kalua pork quesadillas and the panko crusted ahi! And the dragon berry Mojitos are great!
(4)Lauri N.
Just had an excellent breakfast here. I ordered an omelet, husband got the loco moco, and brother in law got the eggs benedict. We all enjoyed our selections, there was plenty of food, and the service was fabulous! We will definitely come back!
(4)Beth K.
It was all right. But probably would not go back as it was nothing special.
(3)Tony K.
We had lunch there . The portions were very smsll. We started with coconut shrimp they were very small and drenched in a red sauce. We then tried the lettuce wrap was average .The Caesars salad was good with a l large potion of chicken. Also ordered the chow me in noodles which h had no flavor and no noodles. Al l and all very disappointed.

(3)Jive T.
I wanted sushi after diving all day, and Three's Bar & Grill delivered outstanding choices! I ordered the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, & salmon avocado, as well as a dozen oysters. The prices were very reasonable during happy hour and the rolls were big, with plentiful sashimi and no mayonnaise!!! The staff, while busy, made it a point to offer friendly service, and were very attentive. The outdoor seating was relaxing, and moderately quiet--even though it was packed--everyone was busy enjoying the food and sunset instead of talking. A fantastic establishment to enjoy and not to be missed for a quick meal, or a night out!
(4)Jordan S.
There's is awesome. Not only does this establishment offer wonderful live music- seemingly continuously- and a great patio dining atmosphere, but their food is incredible too! Towards the end of our stay on Maui, we decided to go- a friend who had spent some years living in Maui had recommended it, and she was right on. We ended up going for an earlier dinner (reservations highly suggested, but they will work to sit you as quickly as possible) and were delighted by the fantastic happy hour specials (3-6, I think) including drinks (think $3.50 margaritas) and food ($5 sushi anyone?!). We went for sushi, which was all delicious and innovative, and the staff is very knowledgable and can provide great recommendations as well- we liked the California, Hamapeno (no ham, but hamachi and jalapeños), spider and surfer best- all very different and wonderful. The following day, which was our last day, we decided to go again for lunch... And it was a great decision. Music again, morning/afternoon drink specials- love this place. We went with their heirloom country kale salad and added on the ahi tuna, which we highly recommend. The price jumps a bit, but it is so worth it. The flavors and textures are perfection. We also go the coconut shrimp salad which was a different salad altogether- very tropical- but just as enjoyable. I only wish we had more time to spend at Three's, but highly recommend it to anyone spending time in Maui.
(5)Monica B.
The sushi is amazing there. Even the rice they make it with. So fresh and melts in your mouth. The service is great. They offer live entertainment on weekends (maybe more often) and the drinks are great. Love to frequent this place. Enjoy!
(4)Meredith M.
Live Jazz music Friday-Sunday, great pupus and happy hour (3-6pm daily) which included half off sushi! Their mai tais were pretty sweet but they have other value drink option. Sundays they serve brunch with $3 mimosas. The food quality wasn't superb but I mean really...who does brunch well at a pupus lounge? Service was great, environment was enjoyable with the earthy feel of a tree growing through the restaurant. Nice patio seating, limited but available. Overall a good go-to for happy hour or a quick bite in Kihei!
(3)Michael S.
Great place in Kihei. The lettuce wrap appetizer was very tasty, and my wife liked the sushi appetizer she ordered. The mac-crusted chicken was a really nice surprise - I liked it a lot. It came out nice and hot and it was really very flavorful. For dessert, we also liked the pineapple upside down cake. Our server was friendly, the food was tasty and reasonably priced, and we were quite happy. We'd come back!
(5)Qui T.
Great happy hour and $2 dollar happy hour oyster!! Big open and clean. Decent service and food.
(4)Barney R.
came in our 1st day in kihei. glad we did. happy hour prices are 1/2 off. enjoyed it so much we came back 2 more times. this is what we had. crab cakes, kalua pork nachos and quesadilia. coconut shrimp wings and ahi roll. all excellent and wonderful time we highly recommend three's sit outside under the tree if you can barney
(4)Barbara B.
Good food. I had their BLT and hubby, kids and grand kids had a variety of other dishes. Everybody happy with their choices--and kids and grands kept going back for more. That's a very good sign!
(4)Becca P.
I'd give this place a four star if the prices were more aligned with the food and atmosphere. Overall the food was pretty good, nothing special. The service was great, very kind and helpful servers. I did really like the patio and at night it's a good time. Yeah I'd recommend it to anyone going to Maui but ONLY GO DURING HAPPY HOUR! Oh and the drinks are really good and strong!
(3)Chris H.
Food was awesome!! Server was friendly but was a horrible server. She couldn't remember the special, couldn't pronounce food on the menu, took 35 mins to get us our wine which they were out of so we got our 2nd choice. Didn't even refill our waters after we asked. She left our apps on the table even when the entree came. I'd recommend it for the food alone, but don't expect a good experience from the wait staff.
(2)Rob C.
Wow, the Kalua pork nacho appetizer was outstanding! The taste was very unique, kinda like a curry flavor. The complimentary chips and salsa featured both corn and potato chips, which is also something unique. For my main dish, I ordered the Hawaiian jambalaya, which was great from the standpoint that the dish and its accompanying sauce were pretty spicy (I love my spicy food, btw). Overall, this was a very memorable dining experience, from the chips and salsa to the entree.
(4)Dru M.
Wanted to give this place a try after reading the reviews and I must say I was disappointed. Service was good. Food was meh. First the appetizer. I had a free appetizer voucher (thanks to yelp) which they did honor...so we ordered the Guava glazed chicken wings...all 8 were under cooked...I'm taking about chewy pink center and very faint blood showing...it's like they slapped it on the grill for 5 mins on a high flame...cooked on the outside and rare in the middle....the sauce was awesome, but the chicken was undercooked. Onto the entrees. My wife ordered the Fresh Fish dish....Mahi Mahi with snap peas and some veggie medley on top with some sort of sauce or lack thereof. The cucumber was bitter, the fish was a little dry, other than that, the sauce and peas were excellent. I ordered the Threes Mixed Grill, which was a trio of filet mignon, macadamia nut crusted chicken, and coconut shrimp. First, the shrimp was awesome...it was topped with some mango chutney...was cooked perfectly and not dry at all. Now, the filet mignon...I'm all good with a steak being broiled or charred on top, but mine was more burnt than charred. I asked for medium rare...it was overcooked...not a bit of juice oozed out of my steak....disappointing. The mac crusted chicken was dry. It had potential if it was cooked right, but it was left in the pan too long...again, disappointing. So maybe there was a different cook tonight...but for the price we paid, we could have had WAY better somewhere else. Parking lot is tight, almost seen a few collisions, live music adds to the vibe, but the so-so food brought it down a few notches.
(3)Nathan T.
Not a bad place, the food was quite tasty but the portions left me wanting desert. Not surprising then the lava cake (which was tasty but also small) cost the same as my main.
(3)Ann U.
We ended up going here twice with different people. The crab cakes were great. But the rest of the experience wasn't. Lunch - I had the noodles with the brisket. Though the flavors were great, the meat was like chewing leather. It was the end piece that got over cooked. My friend ordered a salad which the waitress dumped on the floor and partly on my friend. Though it was an accident, no apology was given, never cleaned up the floor (patio) and we had to ask repeatedly for napkins so my friend could clean the dressing off herself. Second time was dinner. Service was very, very slow. Even for Hawaii time. Some of our dishes good others ho hum. You can bet the check came fast. If you are here for a short time, try other places.

Outdoor area is nice for an early dinner. Fusion food. Ordered some sushi rolls, which were ok. Coconut shrimp was alright, not the best I've had. Prices were kind of high for the quality of food, but hey you're in Maui and might as well enjoy eating outdoors and trying some fusion food.

I love this place!!! I am so bummed we only got there once. Tried to go a couple of times; but other people had the bigger influence, darn it! The mai tai's were $3, along with other drinks and they were good. The food was fabulous!!! They have a special HH menu and the prices are so reasonable I don't know why people complain. Oh wait, because people complain about everything, LOL!! We ordered the quesadillas, which were so good! I love the sauces and cabbage that came with it. I believe it had peanut sauce and something else that made it so tasty. The crab cakes were the bomb!!! So much better than another place where we had some, I almost didn't order them but so glad I did. I almost ordered another plate... We also got a couple of sushi rolls which were tasty good! They had a guy playing guitar and singing along, not too loud, just about right so you could still talk and people watch without being annoyed. We sat outside and they wind blew tree debris at us; but who cares, we're on vacation and that's the least of our worries. When we first walked inside, I recognized two of the owners from the website. It's nice to see them there discussing food. I was so sad to miss HH again but we will be back some day and Three's is on our list for sure!!!

A little loud, but it was also Salsa Thursday. Would highly recommend the appetizer sampler. The fish and chips has an Asian spin, not to be confused with a traditional beer batter fish and chips. Nice choice of beers, with soft drinks to suit nondrinkers. Food is server with homemade tortilla, taro, and potato chips.
(4)Barb W.
I can't say I was overly impressed with this place. I had the crab cake appetizer and they were disappointing - too heavy, not very flavorful, they seemed to be deep fried. The reslish that they were served with was good. Mai tais were very weak. My friend tried different cocktails and really didn't care for any of them, but especially disliked the pina colada. I also had a caesar salad, which was good, but it's hard to mess that up. I'd go back, but I'd skip the drinks and appetizers, and try the ribs my friend had - he said they were very good.
(2)Nam K.
So delicious appetizers and drinks. I love coconut crashed shrimp! Outside seating was great and relaxing.

A friend and I vacationed on Maui over the 2013 holiday season. It was out first time out there, and one of the things we noticed was that, though tropical drinks are pretty famous for being super awesome, the drinks we were getting all over the place were completely horrible! There were two places we found Seattle-worthy cocktails in all of our 10-day trip, this place and Star Noodle. Yay, Three's!
(4)Karen D.
The outdoor seating and music is nice for happy hour. Happy hour drinks are priced nicely. The food was ok, but nothing to rave about. Not traditional sushi--- The atmosphere here is nice though.

As a long resident of Maui I have had the not so best and the absolute worse service and food from Threes. I've tried time and again hoping the staff( mainly the bar staff), and the food quality improve. However as the years go by this place seems to get worse and worse. Last time I went their air conditioner was broken and the bartender stood in conversation with her back turned to us for such a long time that I had to ask for a glass of water emphasizing that I am now sweating and uncomfortable and thirsty and this was just the start to the horrrrrrrible service that day! I asked it the fish on the menu was fresh or frozen. She was quick to reply it's fresh. When I got my dish I took 3 bites and couldn't take another. It was overcooked and just too fishy. The flavor of their sauces is excellent but I didn't come for a plate of Thai chili paste, I wanted a meal! Bummed out even more I begged the manager to pay a bit of attention to my complaint since it wasn't the first it was actually my 4th major disappointing dining experience. You may ask why I return. It is because I live down the street and they have an affordable happy hour and my friends like to try the place while visiting. Their drinks are cheap. Bottom line..... If you're visiting you should go to a nicer place.

Fantastic happy hour! Quesadilla and tacos were delicious, and the drinks were the best we had in maui! We already miss our daily visit to happy hour here!

We used Three's Bar & Grill as our wedding caterer and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Chef Travis was so friendly and professional the first time we met for our tasting. He was so patient in accommodating our constant changes to the menu and endless back and forth emails. The food was one of the main highlights of our wedding and guests are still raving about the fancy appetizers and delicious prime rib! We also went with some of Three's add-ons like their raw bar chock-full of super fresh sushi and an ice sculpture that will blow your mind. In addition to the awesome food, the service that Three's provided was head and shoulders above the rest. Their chefs, waiters, and bartenders were extremely professional and made the night go so smoothly. I really could go on and on complimenting everything they did for the wedding. If you are looking for the best caterers on the island, Three's is the way to go!
(5)Kayla L.
Very nice place in kihei to get dinner! I went for a beer and some nachos and salmon rolls! Very delicious food. I would recommended sitting outside on the patio. When we where there we had some live music which was very nice! A must place to get a bite to eat if your in the kihei area!
(5)Angie F.
We were in a party of 8 and the general consensus was great food. The live music was nice.
(5)Ed L.
Excellent fries and burgers!
(4)Happy C.
Very friendly staff, good wine list, and the apps were terrific. It is a Kihei sort of spot; don't expect Four Seasons ambiance. Its casual and Maui. Gotta like that. Oh, and the French press coffee was the best coffee I had anywhere on the island!
(4)Andreea G.
I've been here a few times for happy hour and the food and drinks were ok. Tonight however, I had a disappointing experience and will most likely not be returning, despite the fact that I live just a few minutes away. We walked in to an empty restaurant and were seated on the lanai. We were given regular menus as well as happy hour menus and as we were about to order, we were told that happy hour was only valid inside the restaurant. There was literally no one inside the "lounge" area and there were maybe 3 other tables outside - so we asked the waiter is we could just stay at the table we were initially seated. He refused to serve us the happy hour specials outside and so we has to leave. Ended up at Tiki Bar just a few doors down where we listened to lovely live music and had a few drinks. Seriously though - who turns away customers on a slow night, just because they want to sit outside?! No wonder your restaurant is so empty!

Deducting a star for a lactose interolerance fail. Deducting a star for taking 8-10 minutes to simply bring unbuttered bread to replace buttered bread on top of our already slow service so the sandwich could be eaten. Deducting a star for overall very slow service. Adding a star for making the failed entree free without our even asking. Have had a lot of "lactose intolerant" fails for members of our family of late, so was extra cautious ordering. I think the issue is that the wait staff removes what they think are problem items, like cheese, but fails to communicate to the cooks that the patron is lactose intolerant which could prevent surprises like the bread being buttered (or in some restaurants, a language barrier inhibits communication). WIthout these fails, would have been 5 stars. Entrees were very delicious, sides were very good, live music was great, and the ambience was very nice, staff were pleasant.
(3)Rober N.
By far the worst breakfast that I have ever paid for. I ordered the stuffed French toast, and it was literally 2 pieces of bread with what tasted like regular cheese between them. The bread didn't taste or appear to be French toast but toasted in a toaster. I thought I was eating a grilled cheese rather than French toast. I also order poached eggs, and they were all over cooked.
(1)Tammy J.
This quickly became our daily happy hour place. Patio is nice with quiet live music. Food is really good. Appetizers cheaper during happy hour. Note they aren't serving lunch or dinner between 4&5.. But happy hr starts at 3, in time to get lunch as well, and ends @6. To get dinner if you prefer.
(5)Diane B.
Three's Bar & Grill was a wonderful dining experience in every aspect. We were thrilled with the secluded outdoor seating. The server was prompt and helpful. Everyone's food from appetisers to desserts was outstanding. What a treasure in the heart of Kihei.
(5)Ashley W.
I had an unpleasant experience with the server, Molly. She allowed a table of 6 people next to me order off the happy hour menu but told me I could not when i asked for a salad on that menu. The food was average - atmosphere was nice on the patio. Definitely needs some customer service training and will not eat here in the future or recommend.
(1)Tee M.
The lineup at the kihei cafe was so long we went here and I'm so glad we did. We sat on the patio and had a one man band playing really nice music next to us. Nice breeze and we ordered Mahi Mahi eggs Benny and I built a veggie omelet with eggs white and whole wheat toast. It was all excellent and cooked perfectly. The service was fantastic and they even provided us their wifi password :) It was our favourite breakfast place on Maui. Would definitely go of you like higher quality food and are used to good service.
(5)Kiki M.
A friend recommended this restaurant and told us it was behind some tacky tourist shops and yes, it was. But the food (during happy hour 3:00-6:00 pm) was wonderful and the service was friendly and timely. We had the coconut shrimp, spicy tuna, crusted ahi. All three were fresh and very good! I had a margarita which was above average and my husband had some Long Boards. The only slight disappointment was the turkey lettuce wraps. Not awful, but everything else was SO great. For 3 beers, a margarita and four appetizers it was $40, unheard of in Wailea/Kihei. We wil be going back! Also, live music of a guitarist playing and singing Hawaiian music. Definitely go here!
(4)Charlie S.
Came here on a slow Sunday night. One of the chef/owners greeted us at the door. My partner Gina is allegic to chipotle and some of our menu picks had it in the sauces. He told us he could prepare those dishes with the chipotle sauces on the side. We had the coconut prawns and meat filled lettuce wraps. Everything was super flavorful and the service couldn't have been better.

This review is for Three's catering, I haven't actually been to their restaurant. My sister recently got married at Olowalu plantation and used Three's as her caterer. We live in Cali so all planning (which I helped) was done via phone & email. This was by far my favorite vendor. Chef Travis was extremely easy to work with, very responsive and very helpful with suggestions besides the food. My sister will probably write her own review,but just wanted to say what a great job you guys did! Oh, and the food was DELICIOUS! :) i was sad i missed some of the appetizers, but what i did have - coconut shrimp & ahi tuna i loved. for the meal which was buffet style, i LOVED the lilikoi butter and the mahi mahi. everything overall was good, but those are some of the stuff that stood out. The only complaints I'd have for them is that my table didnt get served cake. I eventually had some though after asking of the the servers. The servers were also on top of their game and went around filling wine glasses & waters. Overall, i would recommend them to everyone!
(5)Shawn T.
Best food in kehei!
(5)Alexandra L.
We ate here for lunch and dinner yesterday, and plan on going for happy hour later this evening. The food was incredible. Some of the best we've ever had. The flavor combinations were all very unique, surprising, and spot on. One of the chefs was walking around, talking to patrons, and the service from everyone was great. Best food I've ever had in the dozen years I've been coming to Maui.
(5)Minna J.
Food was decent, but way overpriced for what it was--very standard fare, and my husband's ahi was tough. My burger was good, but the fries were very, very salty.
(2)Austin S.
Great find. Very friendly staff. Food was great - we had the coconut shrimp, tropical salad, and the mahi special.
(5)Paul M.
We went there for dinner. I had the Hawain Jambalya and my wife had the special. Both were amazing. The best part, Devon our server, was top notch. Pleasant and confident. We waited for nothing. the only annoying thing was the hostess...spacey. However, the food and the actual waitstaff are top notch.
(4)Jake S.
Three's Bar and Grill is a premier restaurant located in Kihei Kalama Village Shopping Center. Their service is out of this world! Once you walk into this place, you will find it to be luxurious and resort like. The owners take great pride in the work they do there. The staff have been trained really well and they really take care of you while you're there. Their menu is small, but really awesome! I have had their sushi and have to say it is much better then Sansei and Kobe. One thing on their menu you have to try is their ever so scrumptious Chicken Roullade! That is my all time fave there. Their bread pudding with bananas rum foster is awesome too. Jaron and Travis do an wonderful job there. Plus the live entertainment they have there nightly is awesome too! Past 9 PM, they are a wonderful night club to just hang out at. You don't have to drink to enjoy great music. Support local musicians and the staff there. When you go there ask for Kaitlin or Renee, those two are awesome servers.
(5)Adam R.
THE ABSOLUTE WORST SHRIMP SCAMPI I HAVE EVER HAD. Seriously. Unbelievably bad. The steak was ok, but I cannot stress enough how bad it tasted, tough to describe but basically like chewing in the white part of lemon peel soaked in lemon juice, bitter lemony in battery acid. In fact, the shrimp was so bad it ruined the rest of the meal to the point that we left without finishing anything. To end on an up note, the service was very friendly.
(1)Amy R.
We had their sunset dinner and everything was amazing! I am somewhat picky and ate everything on my plate. Even the coffee with desert was great!
(5)Ed K.
This restaurant, located in the older section of Kihei, just the other side of Kalama Beach Park, was a nice spot among a cluster of businesses, just off the Pacific Ocean....It had a carefree , happy hourish feeling to it, as music played not only from there , but from nearby restaurants as well...I had the flank steak with mashed potatoes and vegetable....I know...I know...I am in Maui, and this is a sushi and seafood place....but I was hungry for steak and potatoes.....service was great and outdoor seating area was a well......well worth a stop when in Kihei....
(4)Nicole S.
Three's was OK. Nothing really great about it, the food was just so-so. Our waiter was nice but the whole place just didn't come together for me, nothing stood out to make me want to come back. My lava flow was more like a smoothie with hardly any alcohol. It was on the expensive side and not worth the high price in my opinion.
(2)M D.
I really enjoyed this place! Nothing fancy, located just off the beach frontage road next to a touristy shopping spot. But it has a local feel after spending a week in Wailea. We sat outside on the deck (the only way to go) under shade trees. And they have OYSTERS!!!!! Really amazing oysters. This alone is worth the trip. They also have good Sushi and plenty of other choices including a kids menu. Friendly service, great prices. What more can you ask for? I'll be back.
(4)Vivian N.
Love the Happy Hour... A must try is the Nachos.. They were nothing like we've ever had before... We ended up going 2 days in a row just for them... The sushi is good... 1/2 price during happy hour... a great deal!! and $3 Mai Tais.. Gotta love it.
(4)John B.
Made reservation as recommended.Arived to be greeted by a unfriendly hostess that could care less about our reservation.Wanted to have drink in bar,and wait for outdoor seating,but convinced to sit indoors.Service was good,food was good,not exceptional for prices.Need more variety on menu,especially for seafood.
(2)J H.
I helped plan a wedding last weekend where Three's was the catering company. I cannot say enough GOOD things about this restaurant/caterer. BEST food I've had at a wedding! Also the staff was incredible!!!!!!! What an amazing experience. All the guests at the wedding were raving about the food and I was sooo happy with the service! Two thumbs up to these guys! Everyone should try this place!!!
(5)Teresa D.
My husband and I were vacationing in Kihei last week. We went on yelp looking for local place to go and have a good dinner. We are so happy that we found this place! The food was amazing! It was so good we went back two nights in a row. The Maui Maui dish was so good and the sauce was mouth watering. We also had the crab cakes and they were equally as good. Earlier that week we had gone to Mama's Fish House (which was good), but Three's blew Mama's away! I highly recommend eating here.
(5)Carey K.
We had dinner there tonight. The sushi was great. I had the Seared Ahi, it was really good. The Chocolate Lava Souffle was outstanding.
(4)Robert S.
My husband and I went to Threes for lunch on Monday July 15 the food was good and the service was also good. We we there looking for a restaurant to host 15 of our friends for dinner the next evening. We spoke to the host and made our reservations for Tuesday at 5:30 and specifically requested to sit outside so we could enjoy the music and the beauty of the evening. When we showed up on Tuesday evening they had a table for us, but it was inside the bar. They said they called us to let us know, but they didn't. Trust me they didn't my husband ALWAYS has his cell phone. So we expressed our disappointment and they said sorry, you can go elsewhere! So, we did. We went over to the Tiki Hut who gladly took our business , enjoyed good food and good service. When we left we spent $400.00. Since Threes is more expensive we would have easily spent at least $600. We were there for only 1/12 hours. Management I hope you read this because this is bad management!
(1)Warren A.
The first turn off is the waitress with the pierced face and attitude. She was rude rushing us to the table. Did not even wait for us as she walked away to show us our table. The other was the fact that we asked for water. (now with a different waitress) Still did not get water after requesting it three times. And when I had my coffee refilled she spilled it and did not even wipe the table clean (Pierced waitress). After exactly 40 minutes of waiting food still did not come. I should have known something was wrong when the waitress came back to confirm our order (nearly 25 minutes later). I did notice the table next to us; one of the patrons ordered the same breakfast steak as I. They came after us and got his steak before me! So we ended up leaving and spending our money at Kihei Cafe. There, I got my steak in less than 10 minutes just the way I like it. Now I'd like to give Three's the benefit of the doubt. It's just that no one, not even the manager, came out to at least offer an explanation or to apologize. We may try them again but lunch at Three's is a no-go.

Tradition for me and my daughter to have a nice dinner before she returns to college. 1. They give you free sweet potato chips, but it didn't match w/ the salsa. 2. Spicy tuna nachos had to be sent back because...they forgot to put the spicy tuna on it. 3. Waiter apologized that he forgot to bring my $10.00 cocktail, but I wish he didn't remember because they used way too much bottled lime juice so I could only finish $5.00 worth. 4. The furikake crusted sashimi only has 4 thin pieces with a mound of shredded daikon and carrots. Daughter said, really? 4 pieces of fish? We had to wait to flag down the waiter to ask him for shoyu and a litlt dish to mix the wasabi. They really should have put more pieces and just charged more for it. But then again good thing they didn't, She ate 1 piece and asked me to taste one piece and we both agreed it tasted old, so she couldn't eat the last 2 pieces. 5. The lettuce wraps were tasty, even though the consistency of the filling was fine, rather than chunky. There was no spoon to scoop the juicy filling or the sweet chili sauce, but I was too tired stopping the waiter to ask for something else. But I ate the whole thing, it was just like P F Changs,only cost a couple bucks more. I mentioned to the manager that he better check on the sashimi they were using cause it tasted old, and he took it off our bill. But that was really little consolation to an evening I was hoping to be decent for my last dinner with my daughter. It would be the same thing for tourists who only have a few days here to have it wasted

This was the best meal we've had so far after a week in Maui, really. You hear "bar and grill" and don't think nice restaurant, but this had both. We came without reservations and got sn inside table. Outside looked even better but they were full...however, inside was nice. They have a specific restaurant side, which was much quieter. The service was spectacular, our server Sarah was helpful and attentive without being overbearing. A couple chefs stopped by our table to personally check how we liked our meal. And the food!! Some of the best hummus I've had with fresh made pita chips, a very interesting tropical salad (two of us shared one small one, could have even split 3 ways it was so big). The mister had the ahi tuna, which is not my thing but he said it was excellent. The beans that came on the side, perfectly sauteed in toasted sesame oil, were so fresh they must have been picked today. I was very happy with my shrimp pasta dish, though. It was tasty and the perfect portion...not skimpy, but not too much like so many pasta dishes. (half the price of shrimp at Sarento's and three times as many shrimp). We shared a triple chocolate mousse dessert, which was again both delicious and decadent, but not too heavy. Really outstanding place, we were SO glad we tried it.
(5)Les V.
I ate there last night - really good food. I had the Ocean salad, Seared Ahi, & chocolate pot-o-cream
(5)Eden Z.
This place is the best food in Kihei! I recently moved to Kihei and have tried over a dozen spots. This is the only place I've found that serves fresh modern food at the same prices as all the other places. Entree's are 20-30 dollars same as other places in Kihei for dinner but WAY better. They also have a raw bar with awesome prices like $6-13 for sushi rolls and $9 for ceviche. I had their flat iron steak with Banana Whipped Molokai Purple sweet potatoes... I'd go back just for those! YUM! I've been there a couple times already and will continue to go back. A must try!
(5)Sammy U.
The service was lousy and the meals overpriced. I stopped here with some friends late in the evening and ordered the Chicken Roulade. I figured I was ordering something simple but was not pleased by what the waitress brought out from the kitchen.
(1)Lia S.
We had a fun, romantic dinner on the porch. We really didn't mind overlooking the parking lot, though it made us laugh once or twice. It was a nice, chill vibe. Our waiter was very friendly and steered us towards good choices. The ahi avocado roll was a yummy appetizer. The edamame-macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi was perfect. My husband had the steak plate, which was pretty good too. I was shocked to hear this place has only been open for three months. Usually a place takes waaaay longer to get it's sh*t together.
(4)CA F.
Devin and Josh were great. During our week in Maui they gave the best service that we had received anywhere. They were very friendly, professional and helpful. Devin was very prompt with our service making sure our glasses and chip bowl were always full. He was very courteous and professional. The panko roll was tasty. The entree was delcious. In spite of being absolutely delicious, the food was very pricey. Great place. Would definitely return to eat.
(5)Alvin J.
Wife and I went there on Wednesday night, which was recommended for their comedy show. Turned out to be not very good at all. What seemed to be the host comedian, passed the mike on to any room guests that wanted to try to tell their jokes, like karaoke. But not very good at all. Worst part of this unpleasant experience was the very loud crowds in the room that totally ignored there were people trying to hear what was going on. Like people having their own loud parties going on the the same room in different areas. Felt sorry for those taking the mike, cause they didn't have a chance with this loud and inconsiderate crowd. Finished our drink and left. Won't ever go back.
(2)Shellerina M.
I gave this place 5 stars because I want to see it STAY!!!! The atmosphere alone is worth 5 stars. You have 4 different dining options, which makes it great for everyone! You can sit outside on the patio under the shade trees for a more happy hour/casual feel or you can sit in the dining area (for more of a traditional formal feel) or you can sit @ the sushi bar or you can sit in MY FAVORITE area; the surf lounge/living room area! This place has a great setup & comfortable feel, in the lounge they have live music, a full bar and a bunch of leather couches & coffee tables set up like separate living room areas for small groups to eat dinner or much on pupus & drinks family style (tables are also located around the entire room) there is NOT a bad seat in the house....they have flat panel TVs playing amazing surf videos. This place is great for locals and tourists alike. You can dress up or roll in from the beach...! The food is local and fresh. They have a unique menu. Very clean style....I noticed they use all square white plates from Pier One :) They have a great Happy Hour--1/2 price pupus & select drinks. They have Tuesday night 1/2 off sushi. They have a 4 course prefix menu for $33 between 5-6pm. They are always changing their menu to showcase the local foods. LOVE that they serve fresh hummus while you wait for your food. I love the unique vibe this place has!

I've been to this restaurant on numerous occasions, mainly for happy hour, dinner, and nightly entertainment. The food is great, I'm a fan of the quesadillas, chicken roulade, ceviche, nachos, and panko encrusted ahi roll. I haven't dared venture outside of my comfort zone in fear of finding something I might not like. I'm a creature of habit, and the selections written about here are consistently good. The quesadillas are made with this fabulous BBQ pulled pork, mango salsa and a spicy aioli that is to die for. Not too cheesy, not too greasy, just right and oh so filling and satisfying. The Chicken Roulade is AMAZING, one of the best dishes on the menu, until I find something else. Think of it as chicken cordon bleu, but instead of ham, you have Portuguese sausage, pepper jack cheese, mushrooms and other delights stuffed inside a tender, well cooked piece of chicken atop a purple mashed potato/banana puree. Delicious! Three's just recently added nachos to their menu and they are oh so tasty. And the tomatillo salsa that comes with it, amazing. Great job guys! The Ceviche is great, lots of seafood, great flavor and the plantains that come with it really enhance the flavor. And finally the panko encrusted ahi roll with a Thai curry butter sauce - yummy! I can eat the sauce by the spoonful. This restaurant would get 4 stars, but I'm giving 3 because of the horrible service, even when they aren't even busy, which is UNACCEPTABLE. If I'm spending my time and money at your establishment, I want the servers to be on top of their game and not disappear for long periods of time. If my drink is empty, ask me if another is desired. I will continue to order if you are speedy, which will pad your tip ;) With that said, the staff is very friendly, yet they have no clue how to serve tables. On multiple occasions, I sit at the table for 10 minutes (sometimes more) without water, a menu, or eating utensils. And once your food is placed in front of you, the server disappears into the empty restaurant and doesn't return. If it wasn't for the food and the ambiance, I would not return because of the service. If the owners are reading this, work with your servers to be more attentive because this is the only area that you are lacking in.

Loved this place last year and ate there 3 times in a week. They were friendly, the food sophisticated, the service excellent. They handled my husband's Celiac disease with knowledge and attention. That was last year. We ate there last night. We had reserved a table on the lanai. When we arrived there were multiple parties waiting and no host/hostess in sight for 5 minutes. The party they sat before us were clearly given our table as they offered us a table in the lounge. We declined and were given a table on the back porch in full earshot of the loud dance band...entertaining to watch but not what we had in mind for a quiet dinner for 4. Our server greeted us with the dessert specials for the night. Yes, the DESSERT specials. She left menus and came back about 10 minutes later and took our drink order, appetizer order, and dinner order all at once. Or tried to. She was stymied by questions about the dishes and in spite of the menu stating clearly to ask about Gluten Free options available she was clueless. We asked her to ask the kitchen what was safe but when she returned she could only say that the fish special was probably okay. She seemed confused, or perhaps disinterested, that Celiac disease is not a preference it is a food allergy. The 2 glasses of wine, 1 beer, and 1 iced tea took a half hour to come. The appetizers arrived shortly thereafter and all were good. The manager, Jaron, came to ask us if all was well and when we told him about the server he said he would make sure we left happy that night. Our entrees arrived. The jambalaya and the ahi were both good, the fish sandwich was fine but the french fries were clearly frozen and nothing special. (and not hot) My husband's steak, at $34.95 was thin and bland. Jaron offered us dessert on the house to make up for the terrible service but when the bill came he had only comped one of the 4 desserts. When it was brought to his attention he agreed to adjust the bill...but then only took 3 of the desserts off. At any rate, he didn't seem particularly concerned about our experience although he did give us 2 coupons for a free appetizer with 2 entrees...but we would have to agree to potentially sacrifice another dinner and another $190.00 to use them. It is a shame when a restaurant is run as if vacationers either don't know the difference between a badly served meal and a well served meal, or their stay will be so fleeting they wouldn't come back any way.

Go to the happy hour here! 3-6 pm and half off some truly excellent appetizers. Had Panko- crusted ahi tuna and avocado sushi roll in a spicy mustard sauce. Delicious! we also had lettuce wraps that were also very good. If you are in Kihei, you have to try this place. We sat out on the patio, had some margaritas ($3) and watched a gorgeous sunset. Can't ask for a better deal than that.

Came here for happy hour, drinks are very tasty, but not near as big as some of the near by places, for the same prices. We had the kahlua pig quesadilla which was full of flavor, however it is originally $11 then half off for happy hour, which would be the only way I would spend $5.50 on that amount on the small half size quesadilla. I had a good experience, but probably won't come here again.

Good Steak. Cold beer and good size shots. Poke was good.

My husband saw the menu for Three's on the way to Pita Paradise the other day and had been wanting to try it. I was skeptical because of the curious number of 5 star reviews from newbie yelpers. We made a reservation in the afternoon but no one mentioned that they did not have their liquor license so BYOB. It would have been nice to bring a bottle of wine from the house . I must have been sitting on the other side of the computer from the last reviewer. I was literally hitting my head on it and asked to move the table. Our waiter obliged and helped us. I think that they were crowded because they could not use their patio space due to windy weather. It would have been better to have people wait a bit rather than jam them in so tightly. The menu has potential but needs some fine tuning. Salad that comes with the dinner was very small. There were 3 salads on the menu but only 2 choices come with the dinner. Busboy had us keep our forks from the salad to use for our entrees. Poor form for an alleged 5-star joint. My dinner was good but my husband's blackened fish was sauteed to a light brown. Bread was a bit dry, maybe stale?? The waiter and server were very nice and eager to please. This place has a lot of promise but it is not there yet. I would give them some time to get it together and try it again. The staff seemed to want input to help them improve. I think that they will.

My family ate here after a dinner rehearsal for our wedding. The food was delicious. The servers were very professional and friendly. The manager even came out and greeted us and ensured every couple of hours that we were doing fine It was such a beautiful setting. There wasn't enough seats for everyone to sit at tables but our family made do. The pictures on the walls were amazing! The even brought out an additional dish for us to eat later on in the evening. I guess we were pretty hungry. The drinks were awesome too. My family was very pleased with the service provided.

Three's appears to want to be a hip, forward-thinking, foodie restaurant in the resort town of Kihei on Maui. While it lives up to some of these aspirations, the service and ambiance during our visit were so poor as to completely kill the experience. I can't remember being in a restaurant where the floor was as poorly managed as this. We were seated in a far corner of one of the two outside areas by ourselves when we entered. We were so far away our server didn't appear to be aware we were there. Some time later they began to seat parties larger than the tables ("four tops") would accommodate next to us so that no one, including the servers could access us or the other parties. One group was about a dozen surfer lads and ladies who seemed out of step with the joint. When we did finally order, our food came out in reverse to what is the customary order. We got our entree, then an appetizer, then a salad. The food was terrific, but the service was, honestly, bizarre. We couldn't understand why the rest of the indoor seating area was so poorly utilized (and full we were told) and the other outdoor area less than half full but we we crammed in a smaller outdoor area with about two dozen others. There are quite a lot of eating options in South Maui, especially immediately adjacent to this restaurant. I would not recommend Three's when dining out there.

Went here a couple of times - breakfast and lunch. Staff are very friendly. Located in a busy restaurant row in Central Kihei. Nothing outstanding on the menu and most of the food is okay, and price is no better/worse than other spots. Some problems - 1. they ran out of potato fries early lunch (HOW DO YOU DO THAT??? Isn't there a market locally to buy potatoes and make fresh or is everything from frozen?); 2. they ran out of bagels at breakfast (HUH! So had to go with bread). 3. we were swatting flies when dining outside and so on subsequent visits sat inside.

Had a great meal here on a Thursday night, which it also turns out is open mike night. The music starts around 9. I only stayed for the first three acts as I had to be up fairly early, but they were all actually pretty good. The Uku special with eggplant was delicious, as was the chocolate mousse that the super-nice bartender recommended. The special was $31 and more expensive than most items on the menu that featured what I'd describe as reasonable for Hawaii prices. Like Nicole S., I was very happy with the $3 mai tai, although it's half the size of the $7.50 regular mai tai and without the pineapple wedge. The happy hour mai tais are available before 6 or after 9. Also, they do have wi-fi, although the business info here says they don't.
(4)Allie H.
We ended up here one night when we couldn't get a table anywhere else but I don't think I'd land on Three otherwise. The staff was generally nice, but our server seemed a bit confused about the menu, and threw us off a bit when she told us none of the sushi was made with fresh fish. We still got sushi assuming she misspoke, but it wasn't wonderful, so maybe she was just being honest. The dressing on our salads was great and the musician who played had some solid 90s covers = two stars!
(2)Katherine M.
Awesome patio with relaxing live music. Partner thought it was a John Mayer CD. Pulled pork nachos were nice, as were the ribs. I like a sweet BBQ sauce, so this hit the nail on the head for me. Date enjoyed his seared ahi. Service was friendly and attentive.
(4)Liz O.
Had breakfast here... omelette with the potatoes. Not bad, not great. My date had the eggs benedict (my first time having it!) - they serve it on a french baguette slice instead of the English muffin. I really liked it! Tasted great. But it was my first time trying eggs benedict. Date said English muffin is better. The reason I'm rating this as a 4 is because the staff is really friendly, down to earth, and the restaurant is at a nice location. Perfect for a Sunday morning meal!
(4)Patrick B.
We went to Three two nights in a row. Great food, really nice music. Good wait staff. A nice stop while in Kihei.
(5)hola h.
Happy hour dishes were not good and overly sauced with bad sauce. Sushi was falling apart, coconut shrimp was oily, and the crab cakes should be called bread balls. Not recommended
(2)Matine J.
Not good . Soggy bread bland food . Bar food at best. Salad was bad . Brown and not fresh. Fish was OK at best . Wait staff was nice but 2 hostess girls did not even acknowledge us when we walked in . Finally had to say hello . They were so busy talking lol. There is another restaurant behind threes upstairs . Ate there and was amazing . Think Its Rita or some girls name. I find all food so far in Hawaii is way below what I am use to .
(1)Garrett L.
Worst service on the island. Lots of attitude, Dingy bartenders that are either high or drunk during their shift. Pour a good draft beer but mixed drinks are a two count. Rather chat up the bus boy, then check to see how everything is. Napkin? Nope... Silverware? Nope... I'm really not one to complain much but this place has been open over a year / maybe two and this will definitely be my last time giving them time to iron things out. Thanks Holly! ;) if customer orders one of something and you bring two orders of it... Don't argue "I heard 2, so I know it was 2".

We went for dinner on a very slow tuesday night. The outside seating was at 50% but we were told that it was going to be a 25mins wait. We assumed there were people waiting in the bar. After 25 mins the situation was the same. We approached the waitress again and then she said another 20mins. When we asked why she said "the service is slow because we only have one person serving the patio". Then we took off. I don't want to imagine this place on a busy friday night. Definitely as others pointed out, this place needs customer service training urgently. A shame because the menu looked nice.
(1)Kailyn S.
What a great place for happy hour! Love the $3.00 Mai Tai's. the menu is very different but really great food. The sushi rolls were really unique and the nachos were great as well. We were definitely bummed we discovered this at the end of our trip. We would have loved to go back to try more!
(3)Gary F.
Nice location. Ate on the patio, nice setting. Chips and salsa served free of charge were very good. Sweet potato, regular potato and tortilla mix. Had coconut shrimp appetizer - was very good -but a little too much sauce on them. I prefer to dip and make my own ratio of shrimp to sauce instead of having it decided for me. Macadamia nut crusted chicken was also very good. I'd dine here again.
(5)Laura G.
I love their happy hour! Relaxing music played by talented musicians on the patio is certainly a draw. Additionally, the food and drinks are delicious! You MUST have the kalua pork nachos and any of their cocktails. Usually very busy...especially on the patio.
(4)Richard R.
Fresh and laid back... Beautiful late lunch. Fish sandwich is huge and tasty!
(4)David C.
Great Happy Hour Specials on drinks and sushi., 3-6pm and 9-10pm. Good food, good prices, good people, good atmosphere.
(5)Mike M.
We arrived here on our last day in Maui- that day after we checked out of our condo at noon and had all day to hang out before our flight left at night. We got there at about 2:45 and waited in the Kalama Village area watching the chickens roam and the Koi pond waiting on happy hour to start. It was worth the wait. This place has the best happy hour in Kihei, IMO with half price appetizers that are actually reasonably priced, which is a rarity in Maui. We had the Kahlua pork nachos, which were awesome- maybe the best nachos I have ever had. The drinks were full strength and the beer was cold. The place was packed for 3pm, so the service was a little slow, but that was a small nitpick based on the half price, excellent appetizers and nice atmosphere. Definitely worth it for happy hour!
(4)Sandy F.
Very nice breakfast and great service. Love the live music
(4)Donovan L.
Walking along Khei and Chance upon Three's Bar & Grill. Remembered Reading about this Restaurant from a Maui Book as a Gem. Thought of Checking the Menu and while deciding. A Nice Tanned Hostess (Heather) Approached us and explained everything in Detail. She just sold me the Idea about the 4 main Course !!! The Server Approached our table Thanking us for choosing this Restaurant....She explained almost everything in Detail that we cant wait to taste the Food. Our Server (Rayel) Speaks about the Menu with Confidence.. Chef Jarod Checks on each table asking how their doing...HIs a modest person Just asking how's everything doing ( My Friend is quick to check the Restaurant Site and told me his the Chef !! Id Highly Recommend this restaurant as a Real Gem. They treat each customer as OHANA !! Things that you don't experience at the Mainland? you'll Experience it here...FOOD, Simplicity of the Restaurant and most of all the People Who works here will let you Feel the ALOHA Spirit !!! Mahalo to Heather and Rayel !!!

Upon arrival in Kihei, and starving for lunch, we happen upon Three's Bar. They have an outdoor patio with live music that caught our attention, and we hoped would distract our 1.5 yr old enough that we can enjoy a meal. Decent reviews on yelp and a free appetizer with a check-in so we decided to try. Unfortunately the minute we sat down the musician started his 45-min break! understandable, but as a tip, music could be played while he's on break. We had the Kalua Pork Nachos appetizer. The flavors were amazing, but tasted over-cooked. The chips were noticeably burnt. The entrees were better, The fresh fish dish my BF could not stop raving about. and the Kalua pulled pork sandwich was on point, but I was already stuffed from the nachos. I would have had dessert, but was informed the lava cake souffle would take 25 mins. If the server would of mentioned this when our food was set down, I would have definitely ordered. As we got the check, the musician came back and the music started again. Our son enjoyed a song and it was time for us to move on. 4-stars if they had music while we were there, 5 if the nachos weren't burnt and the dessert didn't take so long.

We saw this place on our way to the Tiki Lounge, and definitely wanted to come back and try it. It was beautiful string lights outside, and the vibe at night was awesome. We were back the next day for happy hour. I was a bit disappointed by the happy hour. We arrived at about 4pm, and it wasn't too busy. The live music was calming and definitely my style. We checked out the happy hour menu, and weren't too excited about anything on it, so we decided we would get drinks and have dinner. Unfortunately, at that time, the happy hour menu was all they were serving. I was disappointed about that. They had a decent selection of drinks for happy hour, but the only speciality cocktail they had for happy hour was the mai tai and a margarita. My boyfriend and I ordered the coconut shrimp, crab cakes, and sweet and spicy lettuce wraps. The food was all good, especially the crab cakes, but I've had better food elsewhere on Maui. My boyfriend had a blonde ale, which he liked, and I had the garota de ipanema (a light pina colada) with the lava flow twist, which I thought was too liquid-y and too strong. I probably wouldn't come back here on my next visit, but I'm glad we tried it out.
(3)Suzy Q.
If it weren't for a coupon I would not have ever thought to go here. The crab cakes were good however it was downhill from there. A simple hamburger came out bloody raw. The manager came out and apologized and offered us a free dessert which was nice but I still wouldn't return here.
(1)Rose R.
I've only been to the happy hour, so am giving Three's four stars for that. After a day at the beach, sitting on their patio, drinking $3 Mai Thai's is total bliss. They have delicious 1/2 price apps and it's a great place to people watch. Get there early, or you'll be seated on the back patio, which is still nice, but not quite as much fun. Awesome fresh sushi, homemade sweet potato nachos and stiff, cheap drinks! A great addition to any vacation. What's not to love?!
(4)RY K.
It's really hit or miss with the food items. Sushi is usually pretty good as well as a few of the apps. I like the flatbread, but have got it with stale bread and a small wilted lettuce salad before... So like I said, hit or miss. Had the Ono special last night, Ono was cut super thin and char grilled beyond fish recognition. Super dry!! Also had the bread pudding and this was really bad. I love bread pudding and mix it with "bananas fosters" and it should be out of this world. Ugh, for $13 it was the driest, lamest bread pudding I have ever had. And the bananas fosters part was hard, stick to your teeth Carmel with few fresh bananas and the smallest scoop of average ice cream ever. Super lame! Oh well, I am sure I will be back regardless, few choices on Maui and that's how restaurants here stay open, what can I say. Hopefully I will get them on a good day next time :-)
(2)Lin B.
We ate here 4 nights out of 12 on our vacation in Kihei. We loved the food. Always fresh & thoughtfully prepared. Mainly had all their salads- wonderful, suschi [always got the sushi appetiizer] & the special fish of the day. Service is friendly, attentive & informed. It's a great neighborhood feel of owners who take pride in their business. Def one of the best on Maui w/o any tourist hype.
(4)Katie W.
Great atmosphere with a nice patio and live music! We had four sushi rolls and thought it was some of the best on the island. Definitely worth the stop!
(4)Kara D.
My husband I and I really loved this place! We got in the night before super late and woke up hungry and stumbled upon Threes the next morning! What an awesome little place! My husband ordered theirs Eggs Benedict and loved it and my steak and eggs were great! You can't say much bad about a place that gives you a drink menu with breakfast! Trashed Tea gets a thumbs up from me! We will definitely be making it a stop whenever we visit Maui again!
(5)Teresa A.
Saw a write up about this in one of the local weeklies and liked the idea so we gave it a try for lunch. Great location, nice and shady patio. There was live music on the patio so we sat there. He was a local who had some friends eating there as well and there was a lot of banter...made you feel like you were at someone's house for a BBQ. Good music and one of the friends also came up and played. I could have sat there all afternoon! The food...meh rating. I had the shrimp and penne. My son the chicken Caesar salad. I believe the menu said my order came with a small salad, which I did not get. The pasta was overlooked/soft and the lemon sauce, while tasty, was very oily. There was no chicken at all on my son's salad. The party next to us sat down and inquired about the special listed on the outside banner, which their server did not know about and neither did we even though we asked her if there were any specials. Turned out it was a brew and burger or wine and burger. Or something like that, it was hard to see driving out of the lot. We would have opted for that if we had known! I bet this place is fun for happy hour.
(3)Grace T.
The mai tais were only $3 during happy hour and were delicious. Appetizers were also affordable and really good. The live music on the lanai was great!
(4)Michael R.
The most original meal we've eaten. A hidden gem. From the chips to the ribs, added infused flavor. A blend of different flavors combine for a delicious meal.
(4)Mauricio C.
Great place! Good fish and salads. A place where you can spend the whole afternoon while listening live music and ordering cheap good drinks
(5)Amy G.
The live music here during brunch was just amazing! I was here on Wednesday and really enjoyed the Stay Eazy band. They have a great sound and super laid back. I think they are here on Wed and Thurs. I also liked my wasabi Bloody Mary too :)
(5)Holly S.
This review is for their happy hour. The, place was pretty empty, but it was 9pm on a Sunday night, so I'm not surprised. We had the pork quesadilla, the panko crusted ahi roll, and the chicken satay. Oh, and a bunch of mai tais, all very inexpensive and all served in a really nice room by an attentive waitress.
(5)Irene F.
Greasy and heavy on the sauce but overall innovative and tasty.
(4)Shayemiko G.
Decided to check this place out because of the public advertising. Big mistake! Went in, no hostess or staff, tried to make our way to the lounge for happy hour, no seats. Waited by the hostess stand only to be passed by 2 employees who looked right through the 4 of us as if we knew where to go. After finally being seated, the server arrived, and as if we were a big inconvenience to her, said her spiel as if she's said it a million times. Didn't write our drink order down and guess what, drinks came out wrong. Came back, took our order, didn't write that down either, made us re confirm the order, and guess what? She forgot part of our order right after we said it. Told us the kitchen was closing and if we wanted anything else we had to get it this minute. Very unprofessional way of saying it. Anyway, the food came out. Crab cakes were more like deep fried batter with a hint of crab on a pile of cabbage/mayo (not even coleslaw consistency) with a drizzle of sweet Thai chili and a wilted piece of lettuce, topped off with a dark brown slop i think was supposed to be ginger. Very tough and in appetizing. Sushi was teeny- tiny, I found better at foodland! The Panko ahi roll was submerged in a thick sauce that overpowered their some what of a kabayaki glaze. The thinly sliced ahi in the center was pink, not red like ahi should be, most likely previously frozen n thawed. A bad business choice to try and replicate such a awesome dish from sanseis sushi bar (which is not even 200 yards away) . The coconut shrimp was just like box of frozen butterfly shrimp at Costco with coconut flakes added on. This was also tough n hard to chew. Sauce used on this was boring, could have used something other than the "store bought" sweet Thai chili. Served on that warm mayo/cabbage thing they call coleslaw. With the plop of brown "ginger" on top. Throughout the service, there were no managers in slight either. Servers doing their paperwork on the table right next to us. Cooks n dishwashers walking throughout the seating areas with their plastic aprons on. Clearly showing they were closing up and wanted to go home. And to top it off our server was wearing all too revealing booty shorts, very unprofessional!! Not very appetizing seeing butt cheek jiggles and cellulite stomp away to put your greasy food order in. Don't get me wrong, having worked in the food industry there are things that irritate everyone including the guests. But this was beyond irritating to us. Sassy service, unprofessional environment, and terrible food!
(1)Samantha H.
Great service. From being greeted to the waitress. Why a 1? The food was TERRIBLE. We started with the ground turkey lettuce wraps, which were a mediocre at best. I had the seared ahi and my friend had the fish sandwich. The entire Ahi plate was bad. From the frozen, COLD vegetables to the fishy, cold ahi. I took one bite and couldnt even take a second. For $27, I didnt expect that. The staff was great about the entire situation and took ahi off the bill., My friend seemed to like the fish sandwich okay. Although she mentioned that the fries were burned. (which they were. YUCK I, personally will never dine at Threes again for the food. I will go back and enjoy their drinks and nightlife though!
(1)Lora L.
Went here for happy hour and loved everything! The oyster shooters were fresh, the sushi was tasteful, the shrimp was flavorful, drinks were refreshing. On top of that the service was great, we had several servers waiting on us to make sure we had everything AND there was excellent live music. The only regret was that I found this place on my last day in Maui!
(5)Mike H.
Good Breakfast on a sunday Morning nice atmosphere good food and good service relaxing and comfortable.
(4)Jeff A.
We went three nights in a row...seemed fitting. Each night we ordered the Panko encrusted ahi tuna roll. It just doesn't get any better than this. Served with a Thai curry butter sauce, it keeps bringing us back. The first night we also had Kahlua Pork nachos on sweet purple potato chips. They are as great as everyone says. The second night, we ordered the chicken satay...the sauce served on the side tasted like BBQ sauce...avoid that and stick with the asian soy sauce it is cooked in. On the third night, we also had the tekki maki (tuna) roll. Great! Great! Great! As you can see, we're hooked. If you get there between 4:00 and 6:00, all of the above are 50% off (and more). They also have a nice selection of drinks (beer, mai tais and well drinks) for $3.
(5)Brett H.
This is one of the better places In Kihei. They do an Asian-fusion type of menu. The bloody Mary's are excellent, if you like them spicy. The Loco Moco comes with a huge beef Patty smothered in gravy with a couple eggs over rice. Basically a whole days worth of calories in one delicious meal. They also have great crab cakes, fresh oysters and some fancy maki rolls that are worth trying. I really like this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in South Maui.
(4)Rachel D.
Excellent Happy Hour! Very reasonable - $3 margarita, mai tais, beer, and well drinks. They had a great happy hour menu with a variety of options. I highly recommend the pork nachos. They also have great sushi. The atmosphere was very comfortable and mellow. We sat on the deck and listened to the live music. Great prices, great selection, good food, good vibe. GO!
(4)Shannon B.
Best meal in Kihei by far. My husband devoured his Korean short ribs with wasabi mashed potatoes. My red dragon roll with unagi and crab was fantastic. Didn't have room for dessert, though they looked yummy. Nice live music on the deck as well.
(5)Wightly F.
We ate the main course on the patio and then were forced to move to the bar to take advantage of the 9-10 late happy hour specials. So, the main course on the patio started with the nothing left on the "specials" menu. My meal was bland, my one daughter's was burnt, my wife's and other daughter had burgers and they were fine. We had a really nice waitress who was replaced by another waitress who undiplomatically told the room that the other waitress was "sent home". The new waitress was nowhere as good as the first and I only hope the tip was split. We settled the bill and had to move inside to take advantage of the "happy hour". This was good, three nice sushi rolls and two drinks for $20. Bartender was nice, leather sofas and a projector showing brave surfers. The happy hour(s) is the best bet.
(3)Tara M.
This place is a hit or miss every time, so when it is a miss the prices seem outrageous for the quality. I have had great food there, but the next time around when I order the same thing, it is not as good :( ?? I don't get it. ?? I've gotten the panko encrusted ahi roll 2 or 3 times, and it is delicious, except for at least the last time, it was not very good. I hope they can keep up the original quality because I would like to order it again if I ever go back. I have actually had some bad (rotten) sushi from here (I had to spit it out into a napkin in front of everybody), but to be fair it was not at the restaurant, it was at an event, so maybe the event organizers had done something wrong with it (maybe they left it sitting out)?? I don't know. Trying to give Three's the benefit of the doubt. The eggs & toast & potatoes are pretty safe/good. But when I got the tropical french toast it was so mushy and soggy that I could not even eat it. The lobster mac & cheese left me feeling too heavy and gross (although I was sharing it with a whole other person). And from a separate occasion, the bread pudding was too sweet (and I even have a sweet tooth). So to sum up, this place leaves me confused, but if I knew that the panko encrusted ahi roll would be AS delicious as it once was, I would give the roll another try.
(2)Greg H.
"Easily the best meal we had in Wailea, including many hotel restaurants. Unique dishes and flavors. The crab cakes were fantastic."
(5)Phil J.
Aloha fellow yelp friends. Was visiting Maui and this place was highly recommended. They were also prominently featured on the cover of a touristy menu magazine. Wow, what a difference the real experience is. Went for happy hour because we did not want dinner yet and it was in between times. Ordered two glasses of wine, $5 each and certainly drinkable. The server was nice enough, although she seemed stressed out, even though it was not busy. Now for the food... Oysters on half shell, excellent, cold, fresh and tasty. Perfect. Had to borrow tabasco from nearby table. Server was not around. Turkey lettuce wraps. Looked like canned dog food and tasted like sloppy joe mix. Not really appealing. It was served with scary looking mint that when added to the mixture made it better. Chicken Satay.Horribly dry, salty on top of salty and just utterly forgetable. Skip these! Spicy tuna roll. The premade version at Foodland is 100% better. Dry and tasteless. Spicy salmon roll.Dunno..never got it. Sure was on the check though. Server did apologize but it was too late. If this place wants to be better they need better food and service. We saw one table leave without eating and another had to ask for their food. Dont know if dinner is better, but with THREE supposedly good chefs they need to fix happy hour or scare everyone off. I will forget this experience quickly.
(2)Tiare H.
I've dined here more than handful of times and I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. I will have to agree, their service is slow but their friendliness and ambiance make up for this fault. 50% off sushi on Tuesdays, a rather eclectic Asian-Hawaiian menu, very comfy lounge area make it an all around fun experience. Try their greek caesar pita for an appetizer as well as the nachos with taro chips. I've had the stuffed chicken for a dinner entree and that is the only thing that I can say is "Just ok" at the place. Otherwise, you are bound to find something you like here.
(4)Katie V.
Prices are a little steep for the quality of food. I literally was so frusyrated at the total for the bill, that I accidentally left my credit card behind! Had to come back and get it the next day. Service was ok. Fish plate (mahi mahi) was totally over seasoned and swimming in an overly sweet sauce, ruining the fish. Sushi dish was kind of boring. Bummer experience. Drinks were ok though.
(2)Patricia Gail M.
Not good. Waste of money. Cheap food. Prices are average but the meal was not even fast food good. I ate it because I was hungry. Had to send my daughter's food back because the waiter did not care enough to check back to see if we liked the food or if he got the order wrong and when he dropped her 2nd plate of food, it wasn't what she wanted. Zombie waiter and a manager that cared a little too late, we were already out the door. I must add that my friend likes Three's and goes there often so it may have been an especially bad night for them, which happens.
(1)Sky D.
Love the oysters here. Took 30 mins to get my order tonight though, and it's slow in here.
(3)Emily M.
My husband and I got a tip abot Three's from a guy who was working in a booth down in Old Town Lahaina. We were looking for some place out of the way, not heavily touristed like a lot of the other places in Lahaina were (which is where we were staying). We ended up driving around for awhile, because Three's isn't right on the main street, but eventually we found it (after I wandered by myself into what looked like a biker bar and asked directions). Three dollar mai tais, incredibly cheap sushi rolls (the spicy tuna was AWESOME)--and the most amazing Kalua pork nachos on taro chips that we STILL talk about. The happy hour was fantastic, and we were really happy that we'd managed to catch it. The server was incredibly friendly, and we were able to sit out on the patio where we wanted, out of the sun. It's really nice marketplace that's in the same plaza as Three's, which also has Local Boys shave ice. Dinner and dessert, as well as some shopping, all within convenient walking distance. You can even wander across the street to the beach if you are so inclined. We loved it, because we're pretty off-the-beaten-path, and we wanted something a little more local-favored. It was quiet, cheap, and quality. We will absolutely go back the next time we're on Maui.
(5)Michael C.
I'm a service guy .... the service sucks .... to the question :"can you put the football game on the big tv?"( in the middle of the bar which was currently displaying a screen saver) I received a simple "no" and the bartender looked at me like I was stupid .... These girls are less "bartenders" and more drink pourers, if you are or know a good bartender you know what I mean The drink pourers were un responsive and rude
(2)A L.
A friend and I came here for dinner on New Year's eve. We both had the special -- a combination of grilled chicken, steak medallions, and coconut shrimp. All were very good. The chef actually walked from table to table, soliciting feedback and taking questions. I showed him, using my iPhone, a photo from a Yelp review of a dish that the waiter was not able to recognize earlier. I told the chef that I came to Three's Bar & Grill specifically to try out this dish. The chef said it was a seasonal special they had once: duck. He asked me how long I'd be staying on Maui and he'd look into putting the duck on the menu again. He returned later, to say that he was sorry he couldn't do it before I'd be leaving the island. What a thoughtful chef! With an attitude like that, no wonder his restaurant is successful.

Food was good, especially the banana mac pancake. Ono'licious! The service, on the other hand, left much to be desired. Lots of haole girls who really don't give a flying f___. This was our second visit and it will be our last.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here on our first night in Maui. The menu selection was well rounded but not too fancy - just right for our tastes. We all found our dishes delicious and reasonably priced (especially compared to a number of other spots in the area). The service experience was pleasant and prompt - we had no trouble getting a day-of reservation, and our wait staff was very attentive. All things considered (food quality, service and price), this was the best dinner we had during our trip ... I'd highly recommend this spot for a visit while you're in town!

I love that you have music in the morning and your food is always great!

A fairly new restaurant started by three guys-hence the name. It is tucked away in this bazaar-type shopping area on South Kihei Road. If you aren't looking for it you could easily miss it. We stumbled upon it by accident. They have a sizable inside dining area, a sushi bar an an outside deck shaded by a giant monkeypod tree that sheds like crazy. We initially chose to eat indoors for lunch for just that reason. I had a mahi mahi sandwich with pineapple cole slaw and my wife had a hamburger-both were excellent. A bonus was a fairly decent kids menu. We liked the food so much that we came back for dinner several days later. I had the Hawaiian jambalaya and my wife had ahi. Again. both were excellent. Don't miss this little gem.

Four day stay in Maui and this was the most disappointing meal. Food was ill prepared, greasy, soggy, and over cooked. Service was slow. It was a waste of tummy space. I wouldn't bother coming here, rather, go to star noodles or cafe o lie where the food is exciting, delicious and fairly priced. I would have given it one star but I made it out without feeling sick.

Love to order quesadillas during happy hour - keep em coming because everything's good. This is always a crowd pleaser when we have company in town and the owners are cool guys too. Live music during happy hour and good mojitos. 4 stars instead of 5 due to inconsistent service. Vibe is good tho!
(4)Nevada F.
Very good burger, if a little dense and lean for a patty. Well made, and the terrace service was excellent.
(4)Jaime K.
The place is a generic place. It's good and seems to be consistent. We had sushi rolls and I had a steak. It was good. I would come here again.
(3)Eric B.
They have a great outdoor patio under the trees, and with live music for lunch while we were there. I had the fish and chips and they were incredible - both were definitely amongst the best I've ever had.

Warning: Restaurant engages in one practice that many consider unsanitary. Recent trip here had decent salad and fish and chips. But when i opened the ketchup there was this odd gas-escaping sound. I poured the ketchup onto my plate and tried to eat some of it and it tasted funny. Then i noticed it was much lighter than it should have been and bubbly. Having waited tables years ago, I knew what this meant. I called the waitress over and asked if they 'marry' their ketchup and she, to her credit, admitted they did. A guy at a nearby table who overheard my question and who currently works in food business was surprised she said yes giving the practice's notoriety. For those who don't know, "marrying ketchup" is the practice of taking all the half empty bottles of ketchup each night and combining them into a plastic bin and then using it to refill the bottles so they appear full. This is banned by health departments in some states (like Texas, but apparently not Hawaii) because it's super unsanitary and guarantees some customers will be served ketchup that has gone bad since the stuff keeps circulating until its eaten or goes bad. Savvy waiters try to spot bad bottles in advance by looking for bubbles, but you can never spot the bad ones all the time and you always get some customers who get bad ketchup (also, sometimes the bottles literally explode from the built-up gasses). It's a penny-pinching effort to save money based on the theory that customers don't like half-empty bottles (but, apparently, we don't mind eating ketchup that's been in a dozens of bottles over the course of days/weeks/months?). This place compounds this problem by putting ketchup bottles on every table on their outdoor patio **sitting in the the sun.** Needless to say, I didn't feel well after eating here.

Happy hour from 3-6, 3 dollar beers and mai thais and half off appetizers. Great deal for aprice gouging, overpriced Maui! Appetizers were all pretty tasty, Mai thais were well made and several beers to choose from, not just thestandard crap beers. Nice outdoor seating area and the staff was really friendly. Definetely gonna go back and check it out again before we leave. All in all a darn good experience.
(4)Alexis S.
This was by far the best food we have eaten in Maui!!! Everything on the menu was fantastic!!! We had the Panko crusted ahi roll as an appetizer and it was delicious!!! We (my husband and I) also tried the two specials of the evening and they were both SO delicious!!!!! I only wish we had found this place earlier so we could eat there several more times before we have to leave. The service was also very good, and I really like that they take reservations!!!!
(5)Nitas M.
Great food and live music, we couldn't ask for anything more. We got to the restaurant right in time for happy hour. They had a half of menu. I ordered the nachos with the pork on the side and the homemade chips were absolutely delicious. My fiancé ordered the chicken wraps and loved the chicken seasoning and the sauce that accompanied the chicken. The plates ranged from $20-$30, a little pricey for a quick bite but definitely a nice place for a date night.,

Three's was my catering company for my beloved wedding this past May. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. For starters: Chef Travis was and is my FAVORITE vendor. Not only am I still getting compliments about the food (to this day!), but I could not have planned my wedding w/o him. He went above and beyond his responsibilities as our caterer and even helped me find a DJ, bartenders, etc. WHO DOES THAT?! I am so very blessed to have found him. He made planning this HUGE party from thousands of miles away much easier than I thought it would be. His catering staff was all very professional and responsible (making sure I collected all my belongings and my left over alcohol at the end of the night). I swear, if he could have planned my whole wedding I would trust him 100% (although I'm sure he wouldn't be too thrilled about that.. lol..) The day of the wedding it was Chef Trav (not my coordinator) that was running around last minute to make sure the wind didn't affect my table linen. He was always honest and up front about what was "worth it" and what never gets eaten by guests. (we were on a budget) But I trusted his opinions and always felt he was being honest with and not trying to over charge me like other caterers. Three's Catering Bar and Grill is a MASTER in cuisine, and above all else, allowed us to have the "best wedding food" according to all those who attended. I can't wait to visit Hawaii again to eat at their restaurant and actually try the appetizers everyone raved about (our guests said the BBQ kalua pork quesadillas were the to die for!) Oh, Chef Trav- Pavid is having a 10year anniversary... guess who's our caterer?! Are you ready for all those emails again?!!? :)
(5)Jeremy E.
GREAT happy hour. We had 4 or 5 apps that were a hit. Surprising hit out of the bunch was the Japanese pancake. They also make a mean Mai Tai that we really enjoyed. It was a perfect place to get to around 4 and sit outside and enjoy some apps and drinks.
(4)Gigi C.
Excellent! So far, the best meal we've had on this trip this August. This was a nice fusion of flavors that wakes up the pallette. Really fresh ingredients with a fresh mix that made an interesting journey through our dinner. Good things: the kalua (Pork) nachos, and the sweet potato chips and salsa appetisers were our favs., the ceviche was not as good (not enough fish in that bowl). The Mahi Mahi on Purple sweet potato mash was really incredible too. Jumbalaya was very good as well. The kids thought that the mac n cheese with shrimp and lobster was too "salty", the lobster was too dry and the cheese too bland (I tasted it and I agree with them), overall this dish should be improved before you buy it. They had the chocolate mousse layered dessert and they loved the richness and lightness of it all. We will add this to our list of good places to go for tasty fare.
(4)Ted B.
This is a great place for dinner. We sat out on the patio under a big tree for a nice candlelight dinner. It was fairly romantic even though we weren't intending for it to be. The place is fairly casual and they had no problem with us parking our daughters stroller next to our table. I had the poke which was excellent and my wife had the coconut fried fish sandwich which was also quite good. The service was awesome and they've recently introduced a really nice cocktail menu with some prohibition era favorites like the boulevardier. For my tastes though the cocktails were a touch sweet and I could have used a touch less simple syrup in my Tom Collins. Overall I highly recommend it.
(5)Cerese J.
The food here is a little different, a little spicy. Overall we really enjoyed.
(4)Shane L.
I found this place to be one of the better places I've tried in Maui. We went there for dinner and sat out on the patio. The drinks were very tasty and very well done. My honey and I shared all of our dishes. We started with the BBQ Kalua Pork Quesadilla which was sooooooo tasty. The tropical salad was delish which was ate with the filet which had a teriyaki truffle sauce on it. Wow was that a good combo. Hadn't really had Asian food with truffles before and I have to say it worked VERY well. The service was great too. You can tell they care about their food.
(5)Omega L.
Food was a 4 star..had kalua pork nachos which were amazing with the tar chips. Ordered, salmon avocado roll, nigri salmon and spicy tuna roll all 3 stars because they were kinda small and fish was not premium. Also, the rolls came out in that order, 5 minutes after each other. Good prices though, all of that for $18, because it was happy hour between 3-5, but I didn't know until I got the bill, nice to have known earlier.
(3)Halina B.
I passed by this place on my first night in Maui and the menu looked really good so I decided to give it a shot. Big mistake. By far, the worst meal I had during my stay in Maui. We started with the panko crusted ahi roll, which was DRENCHED in sauce. It was terrible. I couldn't even stomach more than one bite. For my entree, I had the special which was a macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi. Also drenched in sauce. The nut crusted fish was not cooked properly as it came out completely black! The rice was also overdone and crunchy. The only reason I'm giving this restaurant 2 stars is because our server was an absolute sweat-heart. We will NOT be returning here in the future.
(2)Josh M.
Great sushi, delicious drinks (although a bit pricey). Next time we want to hit happy hour and save a few bucks.
(4)Greg J.
We ate here for dinner on Monday, January 24, 2011. The idea of this restaurant is great, a triple-fusion of Hawaiian, Latin and Pacific Rim cuisines. Mix the three in varying combinations and see what happens. For the most part, the food is successful. We had spent the day at the beach and were there rather early and were in time for their early-bird, prix fixe menu. The raw bar needs a special mention. They have a nice selection from oysters to poke and we had a couple different items what were all great. A really nice addition to a restaurant. They also have a beer sampling, local beers, which was a nice way to get acquainted with some of the Islands beer offerings. While we didn't have any, their specialty cocktail menu looked very interesting, might have to go back to sample a couple. We really liked the appetizers, the Kahlua pork quesadilla was great, a place were mixing the food cultures really worked. Likewise the coconut shrimp were great. The Ocean Salad was really good. I know you're thinking it's just a salad, but the greens were fresh and wonderful and the dressing perfectly matched. Really amazing. The downfall were the entrees. I had the chicken roulade, which was just disappointing, really not much else describes it. It wasn't bad, but definitely a time where the description was better than the execution. My partner had the Mahi-Mahi which was a bit overwhelmed by the crust and mango-ginger buerre blanc. The fish was well prepared, but the flavor of the fish was drown out by the toppings. The service was great. Our server, even though clearly swamped, was delightfully friendly, fast and efficient. She is a great asset to the restaurant. One of the chefs did make an appearance in the room, but only to chat up a couple ladies at the table next to us, he probably could have made a quick stop to say hello to the rest of the diners. The ambiance of the restaurant is lacking. The patio dining is in the parking lot of the group of shops and restaurants. There are constantly cars and people. You are also across a rather busy street from the ocean. Don't go there expecting intimate dining, but you can tell all that as you walk in to the location, so it shouldn't really be a surprise (they do have indoor dining). The prices were pretty reasonable, particularly in Maui and the the food generally good, if a little uneven. We'd definitely give it another shot, if nothing else to have some raw oysters and a couple more beers.
(3)Jennifer H.
The staff was so friendly. We went to Three's for drinks and the waitress accidentally spilled hot coffee on the table and it splashed a little on me as well as all over my phone. Even though this happened this didn't ruin the night! The staff was so friendly and made our evening great! Drinks were good. Good chill spot for groups just to sit and relax. The oysters were delicious! We went back on Tuesday night for half off sushi and the sushi was yummy!
(4)Jack L.
We stopped at this place on the way up the shore. It is a little funky as it is located in the open air market. The dining room hours were somewhat confusing. We arrived at 11:30 and were told we had to wait 10-15 minutes for lunch. Despite this, the hostess took us to our table. No one checked in for 25 minutes. The food was just okay. Nothing special. The burger patty was good, but not memorable. Fries just okay as well. Not a place to go out of your way for but an okay cheaper eatery.
(3)Ken D.
One of the better places to eat on a budget if you make it in for the happy hour.
(4)Kevin D.
Have had both breakfast and lunch here. Both were very good. The kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes. The BBQ pork sandwich is really good, topped with a pineapple. Fries were good too, tasted like they were freshly hand cut. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the second time we went the waitress was sort of rude when we first sat down. She was rushing us like crazy even though there were only 2 other tables seated. Then as my 4 year old daughter was trying to ask her for a booster seat she harshly said "hold on I'll get it in a minute." Seriously? Is that how you talk to a little girl? She mellowed out once we got the food ordered, and the food was great. Good mellow live music playing out on the deck also. I'd go back, hopefully we won't get that same waitress again.
(4)nicole p.
we liked this place quite a bit. the pork nachos were so, so good. my hubby's jambalaya was good, but covered in a thick layer of cheese? not so much. i had a spinach strawberry salad that was delish. my cocktail was rather good, too.
(4)M S.
I absolutely adore this place! The chiefs are fantastic, the hosts and servers are polite, knowledgable and treat you as if you were in a five star resort. The bar tenders pour darn good drinks, not like some of the other places you will visit. Happy hour is super reasonable too. On my 21/2 week vacation to Maui, I must have gone to 'Three's Bar & Grill' about 5 times. I just kept going back for the food, service, drinks and good vibes. Be sure to sit on the patio at least once. The food is so good that even if your stuffed, you just want a few more tastes. I NEVER eat after I'm full, well, not unless I went to Three's. I will be staying in S. Kehei next time I visit Maui just so I don't have to drive from the other side of the island to get there next time. I totally commend the three young men who opened this place and prepare some of the finest food on Maui. Good Job Guys! Aloha from CA!
(5)Mike G.
Great food, great drinks! The young pretty hostess was a real BOW (B on wheels) but our waitress Corinne was awesome.
(4)Yvette Y.
Wish I'd have found this place on the first day instead of the last day I was in Maui!! We loved our lunch here - so much so that we went back that evening for Happy Hour!! Appetizers to die for - Pork Nachos, Crab Cakes, and Oysters on the half shell. Their mojito was amazing good too. I was mai tai-ed out by the time we hit Three's. Hubby got one though and loved it. The mojito was fantastic - fruity but minty all at the same time. Very refreshing. The service was fantastic. Attentive waiters who aren't pushy - a fine line to walk but they do it great here! Oh, and last thing - buy a bottle of the Mango Habenero sauce. You'll thank me later.
(5)Rachel S.
This restaurant is terrible. The Mahi Mahi was so dry, it probably could have used ketchup. Avoid this place at all costs. Also, overpriced and the service sucked - AND, I was with locals!
(1)Christopher B.
We loved having Three's Bar and Grill cater our wedding in Lahaina. Everything we had was absolutely perfect and left us wanting more even though we were stuffed. My wife found it really easy to plan our event with Chef Travis, who kept in touch with her to make it perfect. Me and my new sister had the bacon rapped filet and it was the best steak I can remember having in a long time. We had a nice rental house on the beach and the gas on the BBQ was out and I am amazed how well Chef Travis cooked everything on that electric stove in the house. I can't imagine what he could do on open flame!! Everyone else had the fresh local catch which left them licking the plates even though they were at a wedding :o) The Ocean salad and Caeser salad were perfect and so fresh. My wife and I highly reccommend thier catering service. They also did a high profile wedding for a friend of my wifes for more than 300+ people. We had the chance to have dinner in the restruant on our last night on the island. Now I really don't like shrimp at all and it's really hard for me to try them but my wife made me try the coconut shrimp and it blew my hair back like those trojan commercials. They were so amazing I had a second one. I also had the ribeye steak and it was cooked perfectlly. We were there on a Saturday night and enjoyed the live music (Tony, I think his name was). The inside of the restruant looked amazing and I wish I could have been able to make it there for their late nite action. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the orange and red skys during sunset. The only downside was the location of the deck because it is surrounded by parking for several businesses but they did the best they could to make it a nice experience. The service for our wedding was outstanding (Sidric, if I remember correctly.. I'll double check that, forgive me!!) and Lindsay for our in house experience. Thanks again for making our wedding perfect!!
(5)Kan H.
Got there about 6:10pm, there is no outdoor seats, so we sat at a not so nice spot. We tried the recommended tropical salad--a little disappointed at that, the only good thing about it is the nuts on it. We also ordered some sushi, just so-so. My girlfriend said the american food looks better, maybe we should try that.
(3)Rick S.
This place has a very good happy hour. The food was delicious. The live music is an excellent addition to the dinner scene. The food was priced a little high. But worth it.
(5)Karen J.
This place is great. Service was fantastic, food was delicious. Sweet potatoe chips with salsa for appetizer was really good with drinks to start. Had seared ahi appetizer and Mac crusted chicken. Its tucked back in this little shopping center in Kihei. Live music at night. We sat outside on the patio and it was great. I recommend if you are dining in Kihei.
(4)Julie E.
This place is horrible. Usually I can find something redeeming about a meal - the service, one of the dishes, the drinks, the location, the ambiance. But nope, not at Three's. You're literally sitting on a deck in the middle of a parking lot that smells like vomit. The service was incredibly slow. Each dish was worse than the one before, and the sake flight was terrible. If you're looking for Asian, I'd go to Sansei - which was amazing. Don't waste your time, money or calories here.
(1)Doug S.
I loved my meals here. Went the first night and had a fish special that was great. Perfectly cooked fish makes all the difference. Great service. Went back again the next evening before an evening flight and caught happy hour appetizers and great prices. Oh my- what a treat. I recommend this one strongly. Wish I was headed back there soon.
(5)Kelli S.
We were looking for some good sushi as well as a chill spot for happy hour and Three's was perfect for both. $3 Mai Tais?! Now THAT's what I'm talkin about! Their sushi was delicious as well and the rolls were a deal at $3-4.50 each. Also, it's situated close to the beach, which was nice for a post-sunset stroll to walk off being stuffed from all the sushi! If we were in Maui longer, we'd be going here multiple times but alas, we will wait until we are here next.
(4)Melodi R.
We ate here twice during our week in Kihei. The first night 6 of us walked in without a dinner reservation the the hostess looked confused or flustered or unfriendly (really not sure which), so we sat in the bar where we got awesome service and drank and ate our meal there. The food is the "fanciest" fusion we found in Maui, but food was all very good: steak, seared ahi, mac n cheese, mahi mahi, chicken, seems like we tried it all in 2 nights! They have beer and wine, but if you want a cocktail, they pour very nice drinks here! Young owners making a good "go" at their first venture! I wish them luck so please visit Three's when you're in Maui!
(4)Caylee C.
best happy hour price in town. margaritas are $3 and sushi is $4.50. can't beat it!! :)
(5)Wendy H.
Had the most delicious dinner that I could have licked my plate clean. Amazing food and service. A must for anyone wanting an awesome meal!
(5)Shawn R.
After trying the food truck a few months back and loving it we were excited to have date night here! We sat outdoors which was nice. The waitress was really fast and courteous so thumbs up! Had a sake sampler which was really yummy... the only minus here was the crusted fish burger was pretty soggy which was a let down as I'd been looking forward to it after having such a yummy one at the food truck! Would be back but don't think my husband would so I might have to dine with the chickens next time :)
(4)aeriel f.
We came here based on the yelp reviews and did not disappoint at all!!! Our server Samantha was amazing. The chef customized a surf and turf with mahi mahi for us and I had the regular. The steak was the best we both have had in a VERY long time. I'm not a big chicken lover, but I would eat their chicken any day of the week! We had crab cakes to start and those are a must try!! The curry made it pop. & those purple potatoes!! WOW!! Everything we had was fantastic and cooked perfectly & the Mahi Mahi was not fishy at all , fresh and delicious! (which we have had else where here on the island and weren't very pleased with the freshness whatsoever) Amazing service and hospitality, while our server was helping her other tables other staff came to make sure we were doing ok even though we were completely fine. AMAZING SERVICE!!! Cannot say that enough. We will definitely be back next time we visit the island!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!
(5)Tuna B.
My wife and I stopped on a Thursday night after spending all day on the Road to Hana. We were very hungry and we were not disappointed. We sat inside and got the pork nachos as an appetizer. They were awesome! My wife ordered a burger & myself the macadamia chicken sandwich. We loved all the food! The waitress was super sweet and very helpful. I wish I would have seen her name. Anyway, the service was good, the food was super good, but my body was very tired. I would eat here again if I lived on Maui.
(5)Louise L.
Great food, great music, dancing on Friday nights, half price sushi & pupus for happy hours. Island fusion delightful tastes to luscious burgers - My favorite is their Dragon Roll - delicious! Island style Live music on the patio all day, salsa dancing Thursdays, Swing & Blues dancing Fridays with yours truly!
(5)Bridgett P.
One of my favorite places to go for happy hour! Three's has a nice atmosphere and a chill kihei vibe. The outdoor seating is a must. Most evenings someone is out there with a guitar and a great voice, adding to the experience. My husband and I went out for our anniversary dinner. The margarita's were 1/2 off and so delicious. We got the kalua pork quesadillas and as usual, the plate was clean. My husband got sushi and said: "this is the best sushi I've ever had. I could eat this all day." He's a fan. He loves his sushi. More margaritas. Now I'm full. So I just order the hurricane fries because I know my husband will order a large meal and share some with me. Fries were bomblicious. My husband got the French dip and it was just okay. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The meat was a little on the fatty side and bread was lacking flavor. It just wasn't our favorite. But everything else was. Thanks Three's!
(4)Valerie M.
We made it just in time for happy hour and our server was so nice he helped rushed in our order of the hurricane fries and fried ahi sushi. Both were super tasty! Coming from LA, we loved this concept of having an option of sushi, Mexican or pan Asian. Everyone in our party left happy and full.
(4)Becky M.
Came here because there was a coupon on Yelp. Yelp said that there was a free appetizer with the order of 2 entrees. Being a frugal asian, I was convinced. We ordered the ahi roll appetizer along with the poke bowl and dry mien. The poke bowl was really good but really small for what we paid. It was well flavored and I especially liked the addition of avocados. Really tasty. The dry mien was really taste as well. Stirfried chow mein type noodles with pork, mushrooms and topped with bonito. The noodles were also tasty but ridiculously greasy. The ahi roll was plated really nicely but didn't have great fish to rice ratio. Really could have done without the appetizer. There was way too much food. I think everything tasted really good but the overall price wasn't quite worth it. But, probably my favorite poke of this Maui trip.
(3)Wendell M.
We had the ahi tuna roll dragon roll and French dip which were all very tasty... We sat on the patio with live music and tons of flies... Recommend eating inside...
(4)Lois S.
Food was great, service was awesome, live music at great at Happy Hour pricing. Everything was already reasonably priced and when you check-in on Yelp, you get a free appetizer. What a deal! There were so many great choices, that we ordered one of almost everything. We had the best waitress ever. She was really sweet, attentive and made a lot of great suggestions. They had a dry mein noodle dish which was really good. They used Iwamoto noodles which I am guessing was fresh noodles. Served with pork belly so really tasty, but when I got to the bottim, it was really greasy. The only real disappointment was when we asked if they accepted the ID card. She said she would check and then forgot. Then when we asked her at the end again, she came back rather quickly and said they do not accept it (although they have the sticker on the door that clearly said "ID card accepted here and on the website it states 15% off with ID card" Not about the money, but that little interaction left a negative taste after providing us with really exceptional service. I was just a bit disappointed that she oviously did not check. Aside from that, it was a great evening. Wonderful food at a great price, even without the discount.
(3)Lianne G.
Good food. Great dessert. Service was OK. Maybe it was because we were seated on the patio... in the back. It took a while for our server to make it to our table, and a while before the food actually came. Checked in, mentioned the free appetizer, and still was billed for it, even though we mentioned it to our waitress a couple of times.
(4)Lindy C.
Stumbled in here for brunch because the weather was perfect and the patio looked nice. We were definitely not let down! Got a seat really quickly on the patio with a guy playing guitar quietly. I had the eggs Benedict with tuna and a piña-guava mimosa which were both delicious! My friend had the moco loco which was suggested by the server and he was very pleased as well. The happy hour looked awesome for drinks and sushi, so I'm definitely going for that next time I'm in Maui!
(5)Joie Y.
Gotta say this is was a welcome place to dine for Thanksgiving. Most places were serving until 8, but Three's was open till 10! Yay! While we weren't with the rest of our family, the wait staff made us feel like a part of theirs. Gotta give stars for super nice staff working on the holiday! The restaurant is divided into 3 areas, bar, dining, and outdoor dining. We sat outside and there was live music. The outdoor dining is next to the parking lot, not exactly sexy, but they dress it up with lights and there are lots of trees overhead. Fortunately the parking lot is small and not too busy. Service was attentive but a little long at times. Which was ok for us since we were on vacation. It seemed like they spread out the servers, so that can explain why they took a while to get to our table. The food was great. I opted to get the prime rib plate instead of the Thanksgiving plate. I have to say the Thanksgiving plate looked yummy, but mine was really good. I surprisingly did not finish it! (Which if you know me, is rare). I got the ice cream sandwich for dessert. And I must say, the cookies are delish! They make their own cookies. I would return just for the cookies. Mmm my mouth is watering just thinking of it. But I want to try more of their dishes. I will return! Soon!!
(4)Donald H.
Sushi is fresh and amazing! Pork nachos da bomb. Oysters fresh and ice cold. Great happy hour prices Panko crusted ahi roll.
(4)Crystal B.
Go for happy hour!!! It's such a great deal for Kihei and Maui in general, especially since they have an outdoor patio with a bit of a beach view, and live music! Happy hour runs from 3-6 and 9-10 I believe. We ordered 2 drinks each, 3 sushi rolls, two orders of fish tacos, and oysters and definitely spent less than $80 if I remember correctly. All of the food was really great! I especially loved the fish tacos and crunchy ahi roll. The top shelf margarita was sooooo good I had seconds! Definitely a great spot for a relaxing afternoon!
(4)dutchy s.
Wait staff was friendly, seated quickly. Very large portions, and we got the kahlua pork nachos free with the Yelp Checkin. Good sized prime rib portion, surf and turf was a huge plate, the only reason why I give three and not four stars is because ordered the turf medium rare and it was cooked rare for sure. I didn't complain because the meat was still very tender regardless of it being rare. I felt the demi glace to be a tad excessive, the steak was seasoned wonderfully and could live without it. Kim chee cole slaw was awesome, and chicken was delicious, but once again the sauce it was covered in killed the crunch of the fry, though it was a delicious sauce. It's not cheap, but not incredibly overpriced, food seemed high quality. Will try happy hour with them next time.
(3)MISHYA S.
This a gem hidden in Keihe, recommended by a local. There is a real busy breakfast place around the corner, but this place has amazing pancakes $8.50 for a huge stack of three. We had chocolate chip and banana macadamia nut pancakes the first day and buttermilk the second day. The drink prices are reasonable.

We came here for sushi so we didn't try the ramen and other entrees. The layout is interesting, with an outdoor patio (with live music), a surf lounge/bar (with another live music performance) and an in-between dining area (presumably for grinches who hate live music and fun). We sat in the in-between dining area because the surf lounge was a bit too loud and the patio was packed. We started out with the coconut shrimp. It was decent, but they really piled on the sweet chili sauce. For dinner, we had the salmon and unagi nigiris, one of their specialty rolls, and shoyu poke. Being a Seattleite, I'm fairly spoiled when it comes to salmon, so I wasn't impressed with the salmon nigiri (it was a bit too fishy). The winning dish was the shoyu poke, which was presented in a small bowl with seaweed salad at the bottom of the bowl. I think it would've looked more impressive if it was presented on a larger plate instead. We closed the meal with the Lilikoi (passionfruit) cheesecake, which was really good. I think my favorite was a toss-up between the shoyu poke and the green specialty roll. I'm all for Americanized sushi rolls, but this one was slathered in more sauce than necessary, just like the coconut shrimp. We walked away feeling full, but I didn't think the dining experience at Three's was that special. For the same price, we could've dined at Ka'ana at the Andaz (not that comparing the two would be comparing apples to apples). Service was okay, my water sat empty for a bit and when it was refilled, there was a moth floating on the surface. I'm not sure if the moth had been in the water jug or if it had just taken a dive into my glass when I wasn't looking, so I didn't make a big deal out of it. I didn't pay attention to the other dining areas, but our little dining area kind of felt like an afterthought, making the ambiance a bit depressing and divey. I thought service could be more attentive and seamless, and the dishes would be better if they don't pile on as much sauce, so as to highlight the high quality of their fish more. This place is probably pretty charming if you can get a seat on the patio.

Sat for 15 minutes, no drink order. Ordered food, fish tacos pretty mediocre.....frozen fish perhaps? Forgot the second part of my order so no fries.....boooo. pretty lame experience. No apologies from the serve regarding the forgotten fries, just an excuse that "it was placed at the end of happy hour, so, you know". Skip

The banana mac nut pancakes were SOOO good, paired with coconut/maple syrup. I had to have an island breakfast on this trip and this certainly hit the spot. Best pancakes I've eaten in a looong time.

We had an excellent service, the food was great & very delicious plus we listened to the great music from Katya Williams. We highly recommend this place. We are definitely coming back! Thanks a lot!!!!

Great experience the food was amazing very filling and worth going back to. The atmosphere was relaxed and very calm the appetizer excellent we had the AHI roll and the pork nachos both were big enough to be an entire meal. The drinks were good excellent flavors and a good price. The main entrees was the ramen bowl and the hamburger. The sweet potato fries were amazing! Some of the best ever had could make an entire meal out of them. Our waiter Tim was friendly kept us entertained and let us know what to order. The only downside to the evening was going to the restroom only to find the sink was covered in mold and dirty this was unacceptable and not what we expected from the evening for that cause the lower review.

Fantastical Hawaiian dining experience with a great outdoor eating area food is good live music and friendly service
(5)Estella S.
I hardly ever leave reviews but I made an exception for threes. The crab cakes Benedict is definitely the Best eggs Benedict on Maui. I am never disappointed. Breakfast cocktails at a reasonable price are also amazing!!!!!! A brunch lovers paradise!

I'm sorry, I was simply not a fan of this place. After trekking up to the top of Haleakala, we drove through old Kihei to draw out the sightseeing on our way back to the hotel. We stopped in at Three's in the mid-afternoon, to learn we'd missed the lunch order time frame by just minutes. Since it wasn't dinner time yet either, we were left with the happy hour menu. The prices for HH were fine, and we went with your typical fare: coconut shrimp, chicken skewers, and a California roll. Everything was just OK, the seafood was a bit fishy tasting and could have been a lot fresher, IMHO. Given the choice, I think I'd skip a return trip to Three's and try out another local haunt instead.
(2)Melyssa S.
This is my second time at Three's and I am still underwhelmed. My first time there was nothing to write home about. The pupu's were good. We had the crab cakes, sweet & spicy lettuce wraps, and the coconut crusted shrimp. For my entree I had the macadamia nut crusted chicken breast. The chicken was extremely dry and the rice was mushy in some spots and hard in other spots (old rice) I thought i would give it another shot so I went in today. We went in for happy hour only since there pupu's were good the first time. I ordered a margarita $6.00 happy hour $3.00. Im not sure if happy hour prices gets you cheap tequila but I didn't finish mine I started getting a headache. We also ordered the spicy tuna roll which was good. The California roll was ok. Once again the crab cakes were great. I don't think I'll be stopping by again. I don't think the saying "THREE times a charm" may work. Pun intended.

Love the oysters on the half shell! So fresh. And my favorite happy hour! Comedy night on Tuesday is a blast and they do late night happy hour! Do yourself a favor and check it out!

We decided upon 3 despite a couple of bad reviews as most of the complaints were due to service issues. We figured that things go wrong from time to time so we would give it a try as the food reviews were generally positive As I write this review we have been here for over 30 minutes and have almost left already ( the table next to us did). When we were first seated, the hostess sat us at a table where on side was getting a great deal if direct sunlight. When we commented that we were concerned and would like a different table she replied that there were no other tables available (2 were in the room we were in) and that we could sit on the same side of the table or wait at this table until another table opened up. We chose to wait for another table to open up. Our waitress came and took our drink orders. After we got our drinks there were 3 other tables open in our room. We waited, and after a while I went to the hostess stand and asked if we could move. She said certainly. We had to move our own settings and drinks. I am fairly sure that the hostess neglected to tell our server because then waited for 20 minutes with no contact. We saw our server walk near or by us 4 times without looking or acknowledging us. Finally she walked by and smiled as she walked to the server station. We debated if our server changed or if she had forgotten us and she finally came back. She did apologize and said that we had moved out of her station and "out of sight out of mind". We shortened up our orders and my wife got a half dozen oysters and sashimi and I ordered the flatbread salad and pork quesadillas. Both of my orders came out very quickly. The young man dropped the two plates on the end of the table making a loud clank and dismissively mumbled "enjoy your meal" as he walked away. We laughed as the poor service had become comical at this point. I will note that after our server remembered us she gave satisfactory service, except that she did not notify the manager that we had problems. I decided to eat my salad first knowing that the quesadilla would probably be cold by the time I ate it. My wife's oysters came out a few minutes later. All of these dishes were excellent, but the service overshadowed the evening. At the end I did share my concerns with the manager and he offered a gift card for a future visit and when we said we were leaving the island soon he took $30 off our tab. I am hoping that they take the feedback to heart as this could be an excellent restaurant with a well trained communicative staff.

Delicious seafood, including great local fish dishes and sushi. The restaurant itself is simple, although the food gives off the impression of being upscale. Waiters/Servers are courteous and nice. You will get good food here at a reasonable price. Not to mention, it's near all the good shopping areas of Kihei so check it out.
(4)Brittany H.
On vacation and randomly came across this spot. Our server was awesome but unfortunately we had some issues with our food...I ordered the Mediterranean salad which came with a pita that was burnt to a crisp, so I asked the server if I could please have another one. She came back with another pita identically burned...it seemed rude that the cook would send out another burned pita. Other than that again, server was great and the drinks were great too!
(3)Anshew S.
The food was excellent. We tried the Daily Fish special and the Sushi Roll. The sorbet dessert was awesome too. Highly recommend. Plus they had great live music!!

If I can give this place a 0 Stars I would but unfortunately I have to give it a 1 star. So let me start by saying the Bus Boy gave us better service and attention than our server. We ordered a mixture of Appetizers and Dinner food. The Kahlua pork nachos and Burger were good. I would like to rate the other appetizers but we never got them in time to even try them so I cannot rate on how good it was. The highlight of this dinner was that the kids at least got their food. One of the kids tried to eat their dry and bland Catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi. The Burger was good. The other had a Dry Mein which the name speaks for itself - very dry and a touch of bland. I ordered the Le Boulevardier drink for 11$ and it came out in a cocktail glass 1/2 full. For that price , one would expect at least 3/4 of the glass full not a shot! We had to result in complaining to the manager which was really helpful and he did everything in his power to handle our frustrating situation so I take my hat off to the guy handling a bad situation in a very professional manner.

After a long day of flying, then shopping at Maui Costco, and unpacking in our vacation stuffs--we walked to Three's for dinner, because their happy hour looked amazing. It was. We sat outside (coming from a dreary Portland in October, the sun was a welcomed sight) on their lanai and were greeted with a really nice server and a musician in the corner. We ordered crabcakes, nachos, and sushi, and shrimp and drinks and took in the first night of our little mini-vacation/friend's destination wedding adventure. For four of us, with drinks, dinner off the hh menu, and dessert we rolled out with an $80 bill, which for the quality of food is a steal! We almost went back, but then decided we should probably explore other places :)
(4)Diana B.
It was good, but a little on the pricey side. The name of the restaurant is misleading, it's much nicer than just a bar and grill. Most entrees are between 25-42. We had the coconut shrimp as an app it was very good. I have the seared Ahi entree, it was very good and a large piece of ahi. They didn't slice it though so I had to cut it myself...maybe it's just me but everywhere else I have ever ordered seared Ahi it came sliced and fanned out.
(3)Nancy B.
We ate here for dinner. Sat inside a big room with a few tables and a big screen playing surfing videos. Food was okay. Atmosphere nothing special. Conveniently located near our hotel.
(2)Laine D.
Fun place (make sure to sit outside) - great sushi. The poke was fantastic!!! Not sure about the other reviews regarding service, but mine was great and timing of food was perfect. If definitely recommend.
(4)John K.
Three's! Sounds like a nice idea. As I stood in the foyer looking at the pictures hanging up by the kitchen which pictographically told the tale of the three (brothers? buddies?) who put all their blood, sweat, and tears into building the place, I thought "How cool! This is the kind of place I'd like to like and will likely come back many times to during my stay in Kihei." Well, after three visits all I can say is they are "ok." and I'm disappointed I was disappointed. Moments ago my daughter and I were seated at a table out on the patio. We were there for the oysters. Everything else was a means to that end. Margarita? Bring it. Coke for my daughter? Bring it. But we're here for Pen Coves. I'd reminisced on seeing the sign yesterday when I drove by and how I had been mentally gearing up for, and had in-fact arranged my day, so I could be here at the appropriate time to kick-back and jump into a margarita (or two) and some oysters. The word came back--no oysters today. What the--huh? No oysters? No deal. We got up to leave. Rationality got hold of me as we were walking out and I decided not to be so rash as to permanently cut ties with my only known source of Pen Coves oysters in Kihei. Besides, like I said, I really wanted to like this place. So there I was in the foyer. Sigh. The hostess had run off to check on oyster availability--maybe tomorrow? I was hopeful. The word came back. Oysters tomorrow. All will be right with the world--tomorrow. It's only a day away. Chill, John. So the lesson here--call first and don't get yourself worked up until you know the oysters are in the room. I shuffled off to the other side of the parking lot to "Life's a Beach" for their happy hour (Will be reviewing there shortly). They didn't have oysters either but then again, their sign didn't claim it so my expectation met with my experience. Tomorrow came and the Pen Cover oysters were indeed in the room. They were good, too. We started with 1/2 dozen and the same drinks as mentioned above. My daughter, not being quite the oyster freak her dad is, also ordered the Chicken Satay off the happy hour menu. I think the Chicken Satay was a bit too complex for her teenage palate but I liked it. The Pen Cove oysters, as I said, excellent. Ordered another dozen. The margz--meh. The cocktail sauce, however, was begging for heavier doses of horse radish. The flies, though. What an annoyance. Came back again the next day. I'd been out shooting HDR fodder with my camera all along the north end of Maui all day and I was hot, ravenous, and thirsty. I took a table inside. Ha! Take that, you flies. Was seated indoors. Wobbly table. I took it upon myself to move. My waiter ... Bobby? Brian? Brady, Brrrr ... something. hello? Are you here with me? Ummm ... thanks but you already gave me a glass of water. Then he walks past and bumps my chair pretty hard as he went by. No acknowledgement. No chips? Oysters came. Another beer Definite disconnect with the waiter. Really seemed like he was elsewhere.Tasty, but do we have a new shucker? Every single one had bits of oyster shell in it. Separately, I'd heard people raving about the chips here and in three visits none had been out on my table, so asked for some. OK--well, they were chips. That's all. Hi? (wave) Hellloo ... can I have some horse radish to add some zing to the ketchup-like cocktail sauce which again is weak? Lots of lemons though. Hello? Hellooooo? Can I have another beer? Hello? Check comes--$9 overcharge. Fixed. OK, each of these things by itself--no big. Cumulatively? Well. It was all a bit too high-maintenance. Did I mention the waiter ... can I please have that beer now? (I mean the place is almost empty!) When I come back to Kihei I will no doubt be back--for the oysters. Unless, of course, I find another supplier for my habit. Three stars for Threes. They simply don't have their act together and I found their lack of concern for their customer to be insulting. The oysters brought up the average.

I would not recommend or eat here again Food was very disappointing. Way to much sauce in the stir fry, $12 additional dollars to switch from chicken to fish. ribs were small in portion and to much rub

We were recommended to use Three's for our wedding from our coordinator. We had done a few other tastings (which were very expensive and unimpressive) before we went into Three's for our (FREE) tasting - and we were immediately sold. They gave us a good sampling of foods available on their catering menu and everything was DELICIOUS. I literally changed my mind so many times about the menu because every single thing was so perfect, and the menu options were exactly what we were looking for: a perfect blend of Hawaiian/Pacific Rim flavors that would accommodate the varying tastes of our guests. For the main course we ended up picking the flank steak and the blackened mahi mahi. My friends/family RAVED about the food at our wedding. Everyone said they had never actually had a hot, perfectly cooked and tender steak at a wedding until ours, and the mahi was perfectly cooked and moist. We were blown away by the food. It was just as good as it was during the tasting, if not better. Chef Travis went above and beyond to accommodate our VERY complicated list of dietary restrictions - from every allergy on the planet to vegetarian and vegan guests he had us covered - and everyone LOVED their food. Throughout the planning process Chef Travis was extremely helpful, responded to all of my dozens of emails promptly, and helped us to create the perfect package. One of the best parts about their catering package is EVERYTHIGN IS INCLUDED. There were no hidden costs, no added on taxes or tips or anything extra that was unexpected. Their package covers everything from service, gratuity, glassware, silverware, tables, chairs and all of the other necessary things I'm forgetting to name. That made it extremely easy on us. What really impressed us, aside from the delicious food, was the incredible staff. All of the staff were beyond great, always there to help our day in any way. Our friends and family continued to talk about the nice bartender and all the staff we had at our wedding. Aside from them catering our wedding - we frequent Three's for their hard to beat happy hour on the patio, delicious Sunday brunch (again on the patio) and also love their jazz nights on Friday - their sushi is a must!!!

Yum! I came here for brunch with 12 people on a weekday morning and we were pleased to be seated right away. We were actually hoping to go to some other brunch place with great reviews but it turned out that the seating was sort of free-for-all and it would be hard to seat all of us. I had the 2 eggs any style (opted for over easy) with chimichurri home fries (the star of the dish), toasted baguette (surprisingly delicious) and a side of Portuguese sausage. I got to try the banana macadamia nut pancakes, which were really good, especially with coconut syrup poured on top. A few people at our table got the tropical French toast, which received a lot of praise as well. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful and happy to serve us, which was nice. The location was also really great because it was crowded and our food came out rather quickly because of that.
(4)Katie K.
Too legit to..... Quit eating! The coconut shrimp hands down are the best! They come with a sweet chili glazed sauce however they are not overwhelming! The guy working the food truck is honestly the reason I am giving this place a four star or else it ould have been a 2.5 or 3. He was very helpful and accomodating he let us try the fries for free and sometimes it's people like that who cause me to order from a place instead of stingy people who charge for testing foods out. The ahi roll was bland I definitely have had better. The pork quesadillas are way too sweet. I think if they would pair their sauces with other food groups it would be so much better! For instance with the curry sauce, it is too overpowering for the ahi tuna roll instead pair it was a blackened shrimp or chicken skewer. The coconut shrimp could not have been better as well as the fries and fish tacos! I will definitely be considering for my next event. Oh yea our server made some awesome light margs!

We went to Three's on our last night of our honeymoon and were pleased. We had a reservation for 7pm on the patio (it was nice and cool outside). There was live music (even if we didn't much care for her, it was nice to have a live person). We were promptly brought waters and a small bowl of their chips - tortilla, sweet potato, and regular; the salsa was okay. I ordered the Mai Tai and my husband ordered a beer; those were quickly brought. For dinner, my husband ordered the ribs. Being from St. Louis, we know a little bit about ribs and dry-rub (as theirs are). The ribs literally fell right off the bone and were tender and flavorful. They got those right! The wasabi mashed potatoes they were served on were okay but could have used a touch more wasabi flavor. the slaw was good. I ordered the Hawaiian Jambalaya (kalua pork, chicken, and sausage). Boy was it good. I definitely had a kick to it and it was very filling, not to mention smothered in melty pepperjack cheese. My only complaint is that it could have had a touch more of the chicken and sausage -the pork was definitely noticeable but the other 2 meats were hidden. Overall, the service and ambiance were good. We'd go back.
(4)Kristen L.
Absolutely loved this place, but only went multiple times for happy hour food and drinks. The food is quality, service great, and has casual outdoor seating. I loved that the atmosphere was laid back, but didn't look or feel like a cheap bar. The building looks rough, but the inside is classy, but not super fancy. 3-6pm with $3 beers, mai tais, margaritas, and well drinks, half off sushi rolls and appetizers. My husband tried and enjoyed some of the Maui beers while I sipped a mai tai and margarita which were both good, occasionally on Maui you get weaker happy hour drinks. We had a sushi roll which was good and then the pork nachos on purple sweet potato chips. They were very unique and flavorful. We loved all the fresh local ingredients involved. We never made it for dinner, but we'll certainly be back after our happy hour sampling. I'd certainly recommend this place for a chill, outdoor quality meal or even just drinks.
(5)Michele J.
We haven't been to the actual place but we did eat at their food truck. We had the hurricane french fries and they were amazing!!!!! Wish we had longer in Maui to go to their place. Looks amazing!
(4)D B.
Used to eat here a few times a month, but no longer. The waitress practically rolled her eyes when I ordered my salad without nuts and tomatoes, and with olive oil and vinegar for dressing (food allergies). It was delivered with nuts and a different dressing - nothing that can't be fixed, but the response from the server was, "Well, I ordered it with no nuts." She just acted extremely annoyed and then just plopped vinegar (by itself) down on the table without any explanation about the missing olive oil. I had to wait quite a while before she came around again and she acted like my request for olive oil was surprise. (It wasn't even remotely busy at the time...) A few minutes later she came back and said they don't have olive oil - what restaurant doesn't have olive oil?! We should have realized that we weren't a priority from the start, as her attitude switched from attentive to brusque as soon as we sat down and declined to order alcohol. So, if you're going to have a big bar bill and don't have any food allergies, you'll probably do well here. Otherwise, stay away.
(1)Maria K.
This place to me deserves a solid 4 stars. The service was great and the food was superb. There was a great selection of traditional fare and dishes with a Hawaiian twist. The Hawaiian style ribs were very tender and seasoned to perfect. The coleslaw that accompanied the main entrée was delicious as well. Basically, get anything that has their coleslaw and you will not be disappointed. The location is not the most glamorous since the entrance to the restaurant is off the parking lot. But they built out a deck area for some outdoor seating options, so feeling the Hawaiian air as I dined fit the bill for me. A great option if you are in the area!
(4)Chris C.
I couldn,t say enough about this place without sounding like a babbling idiot! For a place with the name "Bar and Grill" the food is more than that! I would put this food up against any food at any of the fine dining restaurants on the island! I have NEVER had Mahi Mahi cook as well as these guys did for me. I had the Fresh Island Fish dish and it was out standing! The service was great too! I only wish I could remember their names. Two of the Chefs came to our table which made it even better knowing that they care enough to come out to see how our meal was and to be sure it is cook correctly and the service was what we expected! Our meal on Friday night was so good I came back Saturday night and guess what? It was just as good as the night before. This place is consistent in everything they do. It is rare that this happens and was appreciated! Cocktails, Appetizers, Food and service were perfect! It was nice to meet Chefs Cody ad Travis and thank you for making our night as good as you did both nights! I highly recommend anyone to go have a dinner here. You wont go wrong!
(5)Lynn P.
came here for happy hour, the bar is tiny. we had the coconut shrimp which were just average. the mai tais were so watered down and tasted awful. much better places in the area for happy hour
(1)Edmond B.
In Kihei and Three's Bar and Grill was highly recommended for their happy hour. Decided to give them a try and well it was just ok. Patio was crowded so we were seated inside. Way too hot to sit inside. It was like the air conditioner wasn't working. Overheard another couple complaining about the the inside temp and the hostess told them, "Yeah, we know!". We moved outside quickly when table became available. Ordered the Kalua Pork Quesadillas and Kalua Pork Nachos as they were recommended. Both were just ok...nothing to write home about. Probably the best thing about them was the happy hour pricing that made them half off. Ordered their Specialty Mai Tai and that was also just ok. I wanted a top shelf margarita so I ordered Hornitos Repasado, on the rocks with no salt. Also asked for a shot of Amaretto on top. What I got appeared to have no Amaretto and lots of salt. The waitress was quick to replace it and the second try was really tasty. Probably our favorite aspect of this dining experience was the extremely talented singer, Chad, who was performing on the patio. I give him 5 stars and the restaurant only three. Three stars for Threes Bar and Grill
(3)Timothy P.
Wife got food poisoning! Not too mention we are on our honey moon. The food was way too sweet and the meat was covered in sauce... It seems as if the chef compensated for his lack of knowledge by dumping as many sweet sauces on everything as possible. The price was far too much for the quality of food. The only reason it gets one star is because the server was lovely. Do yourself a favor. Find somewhere else to spend your money!
(1)Ann K.
Went here for happy hour. Coconut shrimp was overdone and greasy. My daughters terriyaki chicken stirfry was over cooked too; to the point that the vegetables were grayish. The top shelf mai tai was a disappointment too. We won't return.
(1)Mrs. M.
Another place we found by accident. While driving in Maui we stumbled across this place and what a find it was. Brother Francis was singing and playing a 12 string guitar. I had the local Kung fu Riesling whichever as delicious. I was undecided for my meal since they had so many great options but decided on the fish and chips. The fish was lightly battered tempura style paired with a coconut slaw and a salad that I barely touched the fries. Not to mention they had delicious tarter sauce. Brother Francis's singing was a treat and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing.
(4)shelly p.
Great happy hour...Mai Tai's a bit weak but for $3, not bad. Panko crusted ahi roll..I'd pass. Not much ahi. Lettuce wraps were great if you like mint and basil (they put it on the side for you). Best app was the coconut shrimp. And if you love salad, the tropical salad was awesome!! As always, service is on island time... But who needs to be anywhere when in Maui .
(3)Edwin M.
Great spot for happy hour. Lots of items to choose from, good drink selection. They also serve breakfast.
(4)Aaron S.
Great wine list which is good to see in an open energetic fun place. Casual and staff works hard to please. Call them normal menu items but they have been enhanced with great sauces and spices making this place a casual yet TASTY with good wines for the prices. I'm a bit of a wine snob from Napa area and very pleased to see the wines they feature. You'll enjoy this place.
(5)Annalisa R.
Music, Atmosphere and Gormet Food at a bargin. My Happy hour favorites are their Panko crusted Ahi Roll, Crab cakes, and Coconut crusted shrimp. Would go everyday if I had the time
(5)Chi L.
After reading about all the magazine or yelp's comments. This place sound nice. The location is some pizza/american restaurant before(I was there 5.5 years ago for the previous restaurant). The 3 chefs( owner) sound interesting , sound very good in their qualification (from reading, those owners are young and full of energy, and look enthusiatic, which is good). I order the fish sandwiches with pineapple slaw. Somehow, I found it is pretty sweet, for the sauce. Maybe it is a hawaiian thing. (not used to that kind of taste). My husband order the Sear Ahi, look good, the sauce taste like soy sauce + sake. Not bad. We also have a tropical salad, I found the taste is strange to me. I also have a few fresh raw oysters(those are super-fresh). The decor is modern look and the waitress and receptionist is nice and polite. There is just something, I don't find it is that "special" in their cooking for a upscale restaurant (I have been to a lot of other expensive eater restaurants like Roys "Hawaii" and others upscale restaurants in SF and Los Angeles area). But definitely look like the Three's Bar and Grill are trying hard to make "good food", I might give it another try sometimes for japanese rolls and other dishes. Wow, tonight I read other yelper about this restaurant, other people said the same thing as me, that "THREE" chefs suppose to be "good", and somehow, 1) they did not get that act together.. 2) somehow their food is not that good. like some people mention about those japanese rolls (premade from foodland is better). Basically, if "THREE" want to go the upscale direction(for restaurants) they need to work harder on their food's taste.
(3)Chris W.
Cool place! Great vibe, at night or on a weekend morning! Live music is awesome and food is very good, for a spot pretty much hidden from the street. I feel fortunate that I stumbled upon this place while walking around the neighborhood. Was expecting more of a bar type atmosphere, but was pleasantly surprised by the nice menu and good food selection. I would definitely go back for a visit on my next trip to the island.
(4)Danforth Ridgewell Rutherford V.
Finally tried this place out. I was expecting the worst due to the location (tourist town) and the fact that a few months ago they had all their friends write glowing 5-star reviews, but it turned out to be more of a mixed bag. Pros: -They did a decent job rehabbing the place from its bada bing days. It is pretty nice inside. - Service was good. - The food was pretty good. So that all sounds good, what's the problem? It is way, way too expensive here for the quality and location. I had the (recommended by waitress) mixed grill which was chicken, steak and something else, and it was $26. The food was decent, but the portion size was absolutely tiny. I actually left hungry. You can pull these types of prices and portions off if you are in Wailea, and have an oceanfront view, and maybe sell it a little more, but this place has a view of a parking lot, and is in Kihei. For cheaper than these prices you could eat at Cafe O'Lei and have a much better meal and experience.
(3)BP N.
The $3 Mai Tai is good. We ordered the Pulled Pork Quesidilla and it came out with a sweet sweet sauce over it. We had to scrape off the candy sauce to be able to enjoy it. We also ordered sushi: spicy tuna and rainbow rolls. The sushi quality is average. The sushi was normal (NOT fusion). Overall, we give Three's a 3! AND service is ok, not as bad as what other people said.
(3)Jimmy R.
Have to say one of best Poke I have had. Definitely try their Hwaiian beer sampler It's a great deal.

we really liked the outdoor seating and our waiter Adam was really great. you can tell he really likes the place and the food, and he was doing a great job recommending things on the menu. the food is ok, but not exceptional. we got the nachos, a burger, and the texas style ribs. the chips in the nachos are great, but the other stuff is just ok. the waiter said the burger is the second best on the island, and my bf did really like it, although i didnt care for it. the ribs are not bad, but not great. small portions too.

Went for breakfast: best we've had since we've been on island, so we went back again the next morning. Really, really good food: omelets, pancakes, potatoes, were all fantastic, and the Wasabi Bloody Marys were great! Should be open for breakfast every day day, not just Wed-Sun!

I don't understand the hype. I agree with the reviewer who gave this place a 3 star. Decor was nice. Service was ok. Food tastes good. portions were tiny! SO VERY EXPENSIVE! why?! NOT recommended! did leave hungry! and broke! Walked to a nearby bar and had a snack (taquitos) and that satisfied my hunger for LESS than 1/4 of the price! Don't waste your time and money here!
(2)Fred E.
Very nice place. The wife had Charbroiled Mahi-mahi and I had the Cesar Salad topped with Grilled Chicken (I was feeling a bit blotted from pigging out every where and wanted something light). The food was great! We will definitely it here again when we come back to Maui.

We just got back from our first trip to Maui and all of our food selections were based on the recommendations from people here on Yelp. I had never even heard of Yelp before the trip...now, I'm a believer. A key thing to remember when considering eating in Kihei (or on Maui, for that matter) is that things will be expensive. Groceries are expensive at the store and so are the prices at the local restaurants - but if the food is fresh and good, I'm fine paying a fair price. Traveling with our 5 month old, Three's Bar was one of the few places where we actually had a sit-down dinner. Some of the reviews on here were not all that favorable and so we were a little hesitant - however, after eating there, we would definitely return for another meal. The textures and colors used in the presentation of the food compliment the outstanding flavor. We opted to share meals that evening - splitting an appetizer, a salad and an entree. We started with the Kalua pork quesadillas and a tropical salad and both were excellent ! The quesadillas come with a tropical salsa and the goat cheese on the tropical salad was warm and creamy. For the main course, we tried the Mahi encrusted with edamame and macadamia nuts. They serve it over mashed sweet potato casserole which was out of this world. The next table over was talking to the Chef about the potatoes and apparently they mash the purple sweet potato up with brown sugar and coconut milk and then top it with a strussel-like topping to really kick it up. It was so sweet, crunchy and good that it would qualify as a dessert. The lava flow from the bar was a nice drink as well. All and all, a great experience at Three's Bar. Our server did a great job in noticing our 5 month old's fussy period and adjusting our meal arrival accordingly. If they keep cranking it out with the quality and fun atmosphere that we experienced, they should have a very successful restaurant. My wife has it listed as her favorite restaurant of the trip. And that is saying something (because we ate at some great places, and she's pretty picky).

My husband and i stopped in during happy hour and had GREAT food along with GREAT service! I am not a fan of pork but their pork nachos were the best thing i have ate!!! The sushi and oysters were all amazing too!! We had pork nachos, 4 sushi rolls oysters and our bill was under $30!
(5)Ross B.
WOW...this place is a ripoff. From the filthy interior to the below average food to the overpriced selections, a complete and resounding failure :( Avoid this place. Jack in the Box is better.
(1)Michael D.
Went there for breakfast. Loved the loco moco. worth all 12 bucks. the meat was tender and the gravy - tangy! We ordered the burger rare, but it can out cooked well, but it was still moist and tasty. Even with this minor faux pas, I'd order again and pay full price. we ordered a macadamia nut pancake. Yum Yum too! Our guests had the flat steak breakfast. It was done "rare" to perfection. I tried the bloody mary special. though I like tomato juice and I like wasabi, the combo didn't thrill me, but that maybe because I am not a big drinker. Our local friend like the place. we did too. We are heading there for happy hour. Looking forward to it.

We just had a nice lunch here on their lanai. We frequent Kalama Village and have tried many of the restaurants there, so we thought we'd try this new place. Plus, we'd heard about it from some other folks at our condo complex. Our grandson just got his braces on, so he ordered a Chocolate Smoothie ($5) and an order of Roasted Garlic Fries ($4). He gave the smoothie a thumbs up, and was happily munching away on the fries. My wife ordered the Kulua Pulled Pork Sandwich ($8), which she said was outstanding. It comes with Pineapple Slaw on the sandwich - those of you from the South will understand this. Each sandwich also comes with a small side salad, your choices are Ocean or Caesar. Go with the Ocean salad. It has a very tasty dressing and includes a bit of ogo, the local seaweed. Very nice. I had the Caesar and it was uninspired - the dressing wasn't very flavorful at all and the salad was under-dressed. The Kulua Pork sandwich was delicious, according to the wife. The closest I got to it was a bit of the pork that fell out of the sandwich. She let me have that, and it was very good. I had the Three's Burger ($9), medium rare. And it was very tasty, arrived medium rare, so they get points for that. The service was very attentive and we never felt we wanted something that wasn't promptly provided. The owners just started this restaurant, and contractors were still working on the main dining room. They expect their liquor license this week. The dinner menu is different, and from what I've been told, very interesting. Based on this experience we're going back for dinner with some friends. I can only give it three stars at this time, but I can sense they have the potential and the desire to make a four or even a five-star experience. Update: 04/17/2010 - went back for dinner. Dinner was delicious! I had the Salmon Special - Mac nut crusted with some delicious sauce over balsamic rice - outstanding! We were a party of five and everyone got a different dish. Everyone agreed their food was really, really good! For dessert we had the Banana Foster Bread Pudding. Heaven on a plate! Rick, our waiter, is 6' 4" tall and really took good care of us. We had Rick as our waiter earlier in the week when we were here for lunch, and he remembered us. I bumped my rating up to 4 stars as a result of this excellent dinner.
(4)Steve A.
My ribs were not that good, rub was lacking spice and the ribs were over sauced. Wife's tuna was good cooked well and she enjoyed it. Only two stars due to lack of atmosphere and so so food
(2)Danielle P.
Mainly went for the drinks...Had the lychee caipirinha which tasted NOTHING like lychee, also tried the lilikoi margarita and that tasted NOTHING like lilikoi. I had to ask the waiter to put more lychee in my drink and it still didnt taste like it. Had the coconut shrimp and it was delicious. Although the bread they served with it was hard. It would've paired greatly with the sweet butter they served if it was softer.
(3)Arthur G.
Opakapaka is great. Oysters are decent, no crackers though...you'll have to use the taro chips.

I had my wedding reception here on 5/23/2011. Venue: We had the whole banquet room to ourselves; and there's only 25 of us- classy contemporary decor, accessible to bar and very private. Working with Travis (Chef/Co-owner): I guess it helped he was easy on the eyes. T- web picture don't do you justice; you look way better in person. Ok, seriously- he was very easy to work with and very accomodating with requests. He was very thorough and detailed with their services and what you expect to have. Although, I think about it now, some are a bit 'sugar coated'. ;o) I wanted to meet up with these guys for the 'little details' prior to wedding. Travis adjusted his schedule to accomodate mine, albeit the few times I had to change due to running wedding errands. T showed us around and provided tasting that totally blew me away. Food was well-presented and good, company was good, and he was such a great host! Working with Jaren (Chef/Co-owner): Jaren was also an eye candy- but was quick to say he was married! Can't we all be eye candies and be married?! Haha! Travis was not there at reception area; Jaren was in charge that night. I highly suspect there were things that weren't communicated between the two restaurateur (sp?). My assigned 'crew' (actually, my groom and friends) came couple hours before reception to decorate the tables and set up cake. The venue wasn't ready for them; they couldn't do what they're supposed to do. Jaren was quick to advise that his crew will take care of it. Reception starts at 715 pm; we arrived at 745 pm. Tables were not dressed right. Granted Jaren sent a pic for his banquet table approval while they were prepping, groom was too busy getting married to respond. (They hid it from me to keep me from stressing! ) Jaren and his crew "re-dressed" the tables- still didn't get it right. But I give them 5 stars for TRYING! Service: Food came very late, albeit the little table dressing scuffle. Jaren ordered a separate plate for my friend who couldn't wait for the buffet table to be ready and was about to catch a flight. She left at 9 pm. We paid for a buffet where everyone should have enough food, if not plenty, of the courses offered. I advised Jaren that steak ran out; he said they'll bring more over but didn't. Dessert wasn't served because of the cake. We got a $50 certificate towards future dining because of it. Food Must HAVE: * Chicken roulade * BBQ quesadilla * Ahi * Sweet potato * and oh, HAMBURGER! Chicken roulade was so-so for lunch, but when it was served dinner time, definitely kicked major booty. It was so delicious; I can't remember having chicken served better elsewhere- even in food mecca SF Bay Area. Groom feasted on quesadilla. He claims this was the best quesadilla he's ever had that he didn't care much for the entree. We were served this appetizer to our hearts' desire! Three's sweet potato is "ube" dessert in Filipino. I never had it as good as they served it here- as part of an entree (side, actually), mashed perfectly and sprinkled with coconut crust! We came back for breakfast/lunch a few days later and service was still slow, although the restaurant wasn't really packed. As you can tell from my review, I did not sweat over small stuff that may be big for other brides like me. THREE's definitely have room for improvement: * need more attention to details * quicker service and * better estimate on food to be served. I honestly think the owners' attitude would help them succeed better in the future. I'm normally a stressor and a control freak, but I guess, seeing the accomodating and really trying to please attitude of the staff and Jaren's willingness to work with us compensated for their shortcomings. Overall, we had a great time.

Walked in here for an early lunch not knowing anything about this new restaurant. It was a great treat. The poke was amazing and so was the pork burger with the sweet potato fries. Prices were very reasonable. Now, you they gotta cut down all those damn trees dropping tiny fruit on me as I try to eat. I kid.
(4)Saurav C.
Came here for lunch. Overpriced and small portions. Ordered the grilled mahi mahi and the shrimp scampi pasta. The mahi mahi was good but tiny. The scampi pasta was ok. The ocean salad was blah.
(2)Lola S.
This place has an appearance of a cheap pub, only it wasn't so cheap. I wish they put some sort of lighting on their outdoor tables - it was so dark I couldn't read the menu. The music was a nice touch though and not too loud. Sushi was nowhere near good, seafood dishes were just ok. I'd go somewhere else if I had a choice.
(2)Brandon L.
This place came recommended on Frommer's. Weather was great so we were seated outside on the patio. Really enjoyed the Kahlua Pork Nachos. I was a fan of the ribs, one friend ordered the Jambalaya and said it was good. The fish of the day was Mahi-Mahi (ofcourse) - unfortunately it was not well liked or the least bit tastey to all of us. My other friend ordered the Chicken Roulade and we all sampled and enjoyed it.
(5)Terri E.
Love the ambiance, 1/2 off sushi, live music, and prices are affordable. Local-Asian flair cuisine. Amazing combinations of flavors and the dishes are so beautiful! Food is tasty and delicious. If going for dinner, make sure to arrive early. They get busy quick.

Right across from Kalama Beach Park, even though touristy, has got some pretty good grind. Most restaurants that cater to tourists offer fusion, so this place is nothing new to the scene. After a couple of hours at the beach, we were famished. As you walk into this place, there is a bar like area where live music can be enjoyed. To the right is another seating area. Beyond that is a sushi bar that opens up in the evening. Of course, patio seating is where we wanted to be. Nice breeze flowing in from the ocean across the street. I pondered over their drinks and then decided on the Lychee Caipirinha, which was so yummy I took a pic of the ingredients to try at home. Hubby wanted a good old fashion Mai Tai. My little cutie pie wanted the Virgin Pina Colada. "What's virgin?" He asked. "No alcohol!" My hubby and I answered. It took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. My cutie pie was so pooped from romping on the beach he fell asleep on the chair. "Pina Colada!!!" we all said out loud and he jumped up from his little nap. "Ooh, cherry on top!" He gobbled the cherry and pineapple. We waited another 20 minutes until our food came. I decided on the appetizer crab cakes with fruit salsa and arugula with fruit salsa. Hubby wanted the cheeseburger with fries. My little one had the pasta with cheese. He was a little disappointed with the elbow macaroni since he expects that for Mac n' Cheese. The kid's colada filled him up anyway. They had the usual KID'S MENU for $5. The lunch prices are from $10-$20. This place is pretty close to Kamaole Beach Park, a wonderful beach for kids, we would definitely go here again!
(4)Ronald C.
The service was slow. We split a salad which we had to share off the same plate. The Rib eye was cold when it came out so I sent it back. The new Rib eye steak was hot but also a little tough. They brought out cocktail size plates to split the steak on.

Spotted this place when we ate breakfast at Kihei Caffe. Couldn't help but notice the "$3 Mai Tai's" advertised on the Happy Hour menu posted outside. After a day at the beach, we returned to check it out. We were greeted by a friendly face at the door and chose a seat on the patio. There is no view to speak of (parking lot), but the umbrellas and canopy of trees made for a nice shady quiet spot to enjoy some Happy Hour apps and drinks. Our servers (John? and then Chelsea?--we came during shift change) were both extremely friendly and proud to explain the items on the menu. We arrived before Happy Hour so my first pint of draft beer was $5.50 and my wife's Mai Tai was about the same. After Happy Hour arrived (3pm-6pm), the Mai Tai's, Margaritas, and Draft beers were all $3. When the HH Mai Tai arrived, it was half the size of the previous full price one, but still not bad for 3 bones. All apps except for oysters were half price during HH. We had chicken satay, kalua pork nachos, and coconut shrimp--all were thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Great stop for us. Nice people and good food.

We used Three's for our wedding catering and they did a fantastic job! It was a destination wedding and we took a pre-trip to Maui to find our vendors and in the case of food, sample our vendors food. We went to a lot of the well known and recommended wedding caterers and while they were decent, Three's was the one that blew us away. Travis was responsive in emails while we setup the sampling and then when we arrived he took care of us the entire time offereing suggestions and gathering info on our preferences.Their food was great, they had a wide selection to choose from, my wife's favorite was the purple mashed potatoes (We still can't figure out everything in there but it was addicting). They also offered a sushi bar, chocolate fountain, desserts, ice sculptures, you name it and they had it. They even provided the bar tender for us since we rented out a private estate. On the day of our wedding Travis was there overseeing everything and checking to make sure we were satisfied. All of our guests kept coming up to us and complimenting the food and how great it was. Thanks Travis and Three's for providing the excellent food and catering. It definitely made our wedding very memorable!
(5)Stephanie D.
It was ok. Steak was great, sushi, um, it was ok. Not an extensive wine list and it was totally empty for dinner. Nice but they seem to miss the mark.
(2)Stella T.
Awesome happy hour! Fresh oysters (as long as they dont run out) Mai Tais and sushi...all delicious and right across from the beach.
(4)Donna M.
We found this place by accident. We were looking for an after the beach happy hour and the sign said, "best happy hour on Maui", they weren't lying. Beers were good and inexpensive and we had a sushi plate and Kailua pork sweet potato nachos, the best! I have been wanting them since I had them but it's about an hr drive for us. Everything on the menu looks fabulous and if we were closer, I would go there every night, that's how good the food Is. I am considering staying in kihei next time so that we can eat there more often.
(5)Sassy V.
Great fusion food and friendly staff. Across the beach but no real view. Pricing is average for portion size and venue. Fish was good but came out luke warm.
(4)Donna G.
We ate here with our two teenage boys. I had the fresh fish special of Mongchong and loved it ,my husband had the seared Ahi tuna and was very happy. The menu was very limited for our kids though and the burgers were a bit pricy. Overall we were very satisified with our service and food. Most entrees are in the high $20's and mid $30's I would consider this $$$ not $$. But, food was great!
(4)Tasha S.
The service was great and fast which is always a plus. However, food and atmosphere wasn't all that great. It seemed like the restaurant couldn't decide what type of food to serve. They had their Asian and seafood as well as American, Hawaiian and ..... Wait.... Is that Mexican too? They serve chips and salsa to each table! None of our meals tastes great, in fact the fish they claimed to be fresh..... Not so fresh. As for the atmosphere.... everyone loves the idea of live music, but if it's going to be live it better be good. There were two to three musicians in different areas of the restaurant. The two we heard were pretty bad. The music was also WAY too loud, so you could hardly hear the singer (which was probably a good thing). Sadly, We would not go here again.
(2)Robyn R.
John, one of the managers at this fine place, runs a tight ship with tremendous grace and humor. It pays off: I take all of my clients to Three's, with great thanks to its lovely lanai, excellent happy hour, live music, and decent prices. It's especially fun during football season, where large screened TVs are set up in the lounge, breakfast is cheap and fast, and the French-pressed coffee is divine. Highly recommended for every meal, seven days a week.
(4)Kristyne M.
Stopped in for lunch. It was pretty quiet when we went in, but it was cool, comfy and the service was great. At the recommendation of our server, I tried the hurricane fries with a cucumber collins. Wow. I could eat nothing but this all day!!! Really wish I'd been able to make it over for dinner/nightlife.
(4)Blossom G.
Heidi was a good waitress. Fast service.... food.... meh... I guess this place isn't known for their breakfast. Not worth the price.
(2)Brittany F.
I can not tell you how wonderful not only the food and ambiance is but the customer service exceeds any other restaurant I have been to. We dined here a few times during our stay in Maui. The patio usually has live music which is nice. For the food we had lunch, dinner and breakfast here, each meal was great! The huevos rancheros was very flavorful and a great portion size. My boyfriend got the Guava French Toast and it blew all of our minds. We talked about going back for it again but unfortunately did not make it back. We picked up some guava jelly and coconut syrup to attempt a recreation back home. This is where the customer service exceeded all expectations. I emailed in to see if they would mind giving me the recipe. Within a day I got a phone call from Chef Cody and an email from Chef Travis! They were so kind to give it to me! Thank you again for a wonderful experience we will never forget!!! To follow up on the attempt at the French toast....it came out okay, definitely not the same but a great reason to go back!
(5)Craig A.
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Outdoor area with live music during all their open hours. Makes the dining experience beautifully casual. Fish dishes were all delicious and very reasonably priced. We stayed nearby and were looking for a better dining experience. Took a chance and were very glad we did. Service was fast and friendly. We sat outside on a beautiful summer evening in early July. Very casual dining.
(5)Courtney F.
Good food, nice outdoor patio. There has been live music on the patio every time we have been there. We usually come for sushi and drinks. Prices are reasonable for Maui and for the quality of the food. I love the purple haze roll - tempura molokai purple sweet potato, avocado, cucumber, kaiware sprouts. The restaurant is near the water, but not an ocean view.
(4)Jordan B.
Excellent service. Our server Tim was and is the man. He had excellent recommendations on which food to order (I love it when the servers can give you a straight answer about if something is good or if something is a better option) and we were not disappointed! The three's ramen was excellent, the macadamia encrusted chicken sandwich was delicious, and the lava cake was delectable. Seriously. If you go here, get the lava cake for dessert. It takes 20 minutes to prepare and it's soooo f**king worth it. So, so good. Anyway, 5 stars for Tim and for Three's. Well done and we will be back.
(5)Christi L.
Three's deserves a (conditional) fiver-star review. What's the condition? Go during happy hour. I've been going to Three's since 2012, so I've seen how they've progressed throughout the years. For some reason, whenever I go during regular dinner hours the service isn't as quick and the quality of the food isn't consistently great either. Even if you don't go during happy hour, the place still gets an overall 4-star rating. BUT, go during happy hour? You'll get some of the best sushi and small plates on the island of Maui. Sushi: Amazing. The presentation is beautiful, but the taste is even more satisfying. All the ingredients seem fresh and nothing's ever bland. If you go during happy hour, get the salmon avocado or the spicy salmon roll. If you go during a non-happy hour time, the green dragon roll is usually great. Other Things to Get During Happy Hour: - Kalua Pork Quesadillas - Kalua Pork Nachos - Three's Wings (I get PLATES of these every time I go) - Sweet & Spicy Lettuce Wraps Ambiance: Casual, makes you feel like you can relax with a great group of family and friends. There's usually always live music and dancing, so you're bound to have a blast there. Chefs and staff are all very friendly too and make you feel like you're at home. Overall: Would definitely recommend people to go here if they have the chance. Great food, but if you want to get the 5-star Maui experience, go during happy hour.
(5)J L.
Incredible high-end food at a reasonable price!! Get the nachos as an appetizer, it will knock your socks off. We had the Fish and Chips and the Macadamia crusted chicken. Both were exceptional and the presentation looked like a 5 star high-end establishment.
(5)Jess C.
We just happen to be walking down the street and stumbled across this cutr restaurant. We definitely were drawn in by the patio seating under beautiful trees. We love going somewhere that has a full restaurant, always a good start. Good was great. I had the macadamia nut crusted chicken sandwich with a delicious slaw on it! My husband had a fish sandwich and loved it too. Very nice staff, excited to stop by again during our honeymoon trip to maui
(4)Jean B.
So we went for happy hour and enjoyed all things happy hour. We came at 2:39 & they made us wait till about 2:50 to order. (Note:make sure you're there at the right time) We ordered a slew of sushi and fries and quesidilla.. the flavors were amazing. Very different and very good!! The parking was good, but we came early, not sure what the dinner crowd might say. The lot is small. For two we paid around $50, and I think that Is average for Maui..we seem to pay about that much everywhere we go. Overall, we would be back! Thanks, threes!
(4)Chanthina T.
Nicer place to have a drink and dinner. We only drinks and sat on their leather couches while listening to a live Hawaiian cover band. The lounge is great to have a drink and relax. Service was really nice and fast. Recommended as a nicer option against the many dive bars around this Kihei Village.
(4)Jane Z.
The salad was really good!!! I normally don't order salad when I'm traveling but craving something clean after carbo-loading on this trip. The coconut shrimp was fantastic. The ramen was also good. The broth was nice & light.
(4)Little D.
THREE'S BAR AND GRILL @1945 S KIHEI RD STE G: Their Happy Hour is 1500-1800 + 2100-2200. One time Happy Hour review: Fish Taco $3.50 each - tasty! Lettuce wrap - $7.50 a bit too sweet for me but good. Coconut shrimp $7.50 too sweet for me but was good. California roll $5.00 was tasty! Spicy ahi $5.00 was tasty! Three's margarita $3.50 x2 - tasty! With the price and the taste, we are happy. We had 1 very professional and 1 bit slow servers.
(5)David K.
With the exception of our hostess Kimber, and the slow service by everyone else....it was a good experience..Mai Tai was good and my wife's wine was excellent...rainbow roll was tasty, ramen was flavorful, avo roll was epic and the Cesar salad was fine. Good experience, good restaurant
(3)P S.
Went at 3pm , all drinks and appetizers were 1/2 prices. Hurricane fries with furikake and toasted black sesame seeds were good. Unagi and spicy salmon sushi rolls were amazing . Ordered crab cakes , coconut shrimp, fish tacos....all amazing . The siricha aioli sauce is simple and tasty.
(4)Brenden K.
Pork quesodillas were very tasty, but the pork sandwich was a little odd. Overall it was acceptable.
(4)Vanessa O.
Great food and good happy hour specials. The pork nachos were perfect. Good service too. My guy had the coconut-crusted fish sandwich, and I had the flatbread salad. Both were very good. Definitely make this a stop if you're in Maui!
(5)SeaJay's D.
Excellent food and service. Came here based on Yelp reviews and were not disappointed!
(5)Anna S.
Threes is our favorite place to go in Kihei. While the happy hour is fantastic, breakfast lunch and dinner are just as great and worth the money. The bartender Samantha is the best! She's super friendly and efficient. Sushi chef Brady does a killer job of Rollin that raw fish. We love the sushi, chicken wings and ramen. Check it out for a super laid back, yet classy atmosphere.
(5)Jackie B.
Good food. Good music. We had the kalua pork nachos, crab cakes, and the kalua pork quesadilla. All very good. The nachos and the quesadilla were prepared very similar, so you could get away with just the nachos. Outdoor music and seating. Nice environment.
(4)Merritt S.
Ten of us went for happy hour on a Thursday last week but we had three separate tables so it should not have been considered a large group ! We had good service by a nice gal out on the patio , enjoyed the live music and I loved my sushi rolls and wine . What we didn't know and she didn't bother to tell us was that she had added gratuity onto the bill and we tipped on top of that . On my bill alone she got about a $8 tip on a $21 tab !! NOT so HAPPY , happy hour .... I for one will NOT go back as I have many choices in that area for good food .
(2)Danielle G.
Amazing breakfast place! We had a party of 12, including toddlers, and the staff did an incredible job. The banana macadamian pancakes were BOMB. One pancake is enough for two people to share without leaving uncomfortably full. I also tried their special mini breakfast burgers. The Portuguese sausage, pulled pork and eggs were absolutely delicious together. This is a great restaurant and hands down the breakfast food I have had here on maui. Very reasonable priced compared to hotels and other food places throughout the area.
(5)Chloe D.
Come here for a great breakfast deal! My husband and I got the loco moco (14$) and one banana pancake (very large- for 4 dollars!) filled to the brim and happy !
(5)Wendy H.
After reading the reviews we were excited to eat here. The service is great, the food was nothing special. Maybe it was an off night. Only person was somewhat pleased with their meal, nut crusted chicken.
(3)Joyce H.
Just cheap. Coconut shrimp were shriveled up and over battered. Appeared as if they've been fried multiple times. The grnad margarita was pathetic. A small cup and could hardly taste the fresh squeeze lime. The pork quesidilla was bland. They have a good aeoli sauce but it hardly covers up for the low quality food. If you want cheap eats they have good happy hour prices but the food quality is low. Good service but does it matter when the food is poor? Gave it a 3 for good service and location
(3)Jeff C.
We went to their food truck located near the Costco. Ordered a bacon wrapped hot dog with Hawaiian ingredients and Kim chee (Danger Dog). It is as good and as deadly as it sounds. $6 for a regular size hot dog, you probably need to buy two to get full. Definitely a great pit stop to and from the Costco or the airport.
(4)Dan D.
After 5 nights of having the finest of what the island had to offer, we decided to try some of the more toned down restaurants in the area. As we pulled up the place looked like a dive bar.. the inside looked from the 90s and could use a major facelift. We became quickly apprehensive when we saw the teenage looking sushi chefs working the sushi bar but decided to give the restaurant a shot anyway.. We opted for outside seating for dinner.. the patio was cozy and was lit up like an old school beach shack with hanging string lights going into the main tree - very cute atmosphere. We started with couple of their signature drinks and they were very good. Then we took the waitress's suggestions for food and surprisingly the dishes did not disappoint. In fact, they were just as good as the 5 star restaurants - at half the price.. 5 stars for the food, drinks and the outside seating area.
(5)Kelli D.
Eat anything raw on the menu...it was amazing! Side note, kids mac & cheese was best ever!!
(4)Joe B.
We really enjoyed their happy hour. Our favorite was the panko crusted ahi roll. I imagine this place can get busy, so call ahead.
(4)Nadine B.
Great breakfast here today! Sat on the patio, with live guitar music. Had the Tropical French Toast and the Seared Ahi Eggs Benedict. Both were excellent. Eggs were done just right, holland aide was perfect, and they had three different hot sauces to choose from, including a mango habanero one made in house. Attentive, friendly service that was not intrusive or pushy. We'll be back for the Kailua pork nachos and lots of yummy sushi that we saw on the menu.

When Lisa and I went on a girls trip to Maui, we rented a condo to save a little $$$, having breakfast, snacks and usually lunch or dinner on the Lanai with food we fixed up from Foodland. However, we did treat ourselves to go out a few times, and Three's Bar & Grill was our hangout of choice! First day there we enjoyed tropical cocktails, and I felt the Ginger Cucumber Collins was delightfully refreshing. For lunch I enjoyed the fresh catch of the day on rice with salad, which for around $10.95 was a steal. Live music out on the patio for the afternoon was definitely a bonus! We came back a few nights later on Lisa's birthday and shared a burger, Mediterranean whole wheat salad and the Kalua pork nachos. The nachos were definitely a standout and had an awesome quantity of tasty, Kalua Pork with the perfect balance of cilantro aioli! Tony was on guitar that night, and did a wonderful Hawaiian rendition of Happy Birthday for Lisa, even draping a lei over her shoulders. I can now go down as her best friend in history - for helping to get her leid on her birthday!

This was a great place for dinner. We had the purple haze sushi roll as an appetizer, and it was amazing, the best part of the meal! We then ordered edamame (although they informed us 10 minutes later they were out) and the ramen bowl to share. The ramen was good, but they charged $3 to split it, I really hate that :( That is why I knocked down 1 star. It stinks they charged us to split even though we ordered 2 appetizers (1 of which we didn't even get!). Overall though, the food was great, service was good, and the seating was awesome, both indoor lounge for drinks, and the outdoor patio for dinner.

If you enjoy watching the family of four next to you who was seated 30min after you receive their food before your party of two, this is the place for you. This place is severely under staffed (one waitress for the whole place), the food is good not great, and NOT worth the exorbitant wait. I recommend you go around the corner to Kihei Caffe.
(1)Jay B.
Good place for take out. Casual and right in the middle of Kihei. Will come for dinner next time
(4)Liz W.
Nice place and we sat outside on the deck while a guitar player sang and played Hawaiian music. Good thing we weren't in a hurry, though, because it took over an hour to get our food after we had ordered! Prepare to wait!!

My daughter said that the banana macadamia nut pancake with coconut syrup is to die for! I enjoyed my simple Hawaiian breakfast of two eggs over easy with rice and Portuguese sausage. My Mom had the three egg omelette with crabmeat. Generous portions. Their in-house mango habanero hot sauce is really good also! We had really planned to go to Kihei Caffe around the corner for breakfast, but the caffe was overly crowded at 8am, so we came here instead. Good serendipitous find for today!

Have now dined at Threes a half dozen times. Five times for lunch/happy hour, the other time for breakfast. Here are some highlights. (1) The pork quesadilla contends for the best bite of food I've ever had. The combination was mysterious on paper because I am not a foodie and things like "lime" and "chutney" are foreign to me in the matter of quesadilla (cheese, meat, tortilla, BAM!), but somebody over at Threes is a full-on wizard and the quesadilla there is straight up magic. (2) The Mediterranean Whole Wheat Flat Bread Salad is also awesome. There's hummus, olives, onions, feta, and a tasty dressing. Each time we came up with a forkful it didn't matter what was on it, it was delicious. Plus, when you get to the bottom of the salad, there's a whole bunch of flat bread and as we've discussed in previous reviews, I love bread. (3) Breakfast was standard fare--two eggs, Portuguese sausage, bacon, blueberry pancake, and breakfast potatoes. The Awesome Girlfriend thought some of the food may have been slightly too greasy, and I could see her point, but it also tasted great and I was able to excuse it (even if my poor, poor heart will not). I'm a huge fan of Threes. They're definitely doing it right.

They advertise the happy hour. Yet they are slow on the service during happy hour. Food is average. Service not do good.
(3)Charis O.
3 stars for the price, it's pretty pricey here especially for dinner. Went here twice. First time was for dinner and got the flat iron steak w/ramen noodles. This was very tasty but a little salty, full of flavor though and came with lots of noodles. Would recommend this for dinner. Boyfriend got the prime rib, it was mediocre. Second time we came was for happy hour. Sushi was okay but the nachos is what you want to get during happy hour. Tasty and good portion
(3)Jessica V.
Went here for breakfast. Really wanted to give Three's 5 stars because the chimichurri breakfast sandwich was so delicious! However, had to give 4 stars because our bloody Mary's were awful. Would only suggest ordering if you like watered-down and bland drinks. There has also been live music on the patio every time we've walked by, that was definitely a great addition to our breakfast!
(4)Wendi B.
Nom! Volcano roll delish! Ramen amazing. Service pretty decent. And local residents here. Good sign! Recommend .
(4)Matt C.
Food is fantastic! Wait staff was great! The host & hostess were embarrassing! #clueless
(3)Andrew S.
Sat outside and enjoyed some leaves from the neighboring trees landing in my food and water. Not a complaint as that is just part of deciding to sit outside...but worth noting. Ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and my eggs were poached hard. No delicious lava flowing yoke when I poke thee egg with thy trident...arguably the best part of an eggs benedict. The smoked salmon was okay nothing to wrote home about. Sorry mom. The home fries were good. The service was spotty for not being very busy. Never got a refill on my water. This was just my first experience here so I'll try again and give em another shot.
(2)Bob C.
Had lunch at Threes today. What a find! We were seated promptly and water was brought right away. Are server, Kara, was fantastic. She was very knowledgable about the menu and her choices were spot on. The food was some of the best we've had on Maui. I own my own service business and this is exactly what I want from my employees. We even had a manager come by and make sure everything was good. If you're looking for a great restaurant, make your way over to Kihei and go to Threes. You won't be disappointed
(5)Rain Greg J.
Great place! Great happy hour appetizers, great happy hour drinks, great service at the bar, great ambience, great menu! They've got it going on! No wonder they always seem so busy. We sampled quite a few things off their happy hour menu, fish tacos, sushi, flat bread salad, and lettuce wraps. My favorite was the fish taco, with a very yummy salsa, fish was perfectly moist not overcooked. Best fish taco we've had in a long time. Everything else was wonderful too! The main menu had some very unique and delicious sounding dishes I'm sure we will be back to try. Great job guys!!
(5)Christine K.
Was in Maui for our honeymoon. We ended up at Three's at least 3 times. We only came for Happy Hour, but the appetizers and the drinks were great. We also had wonderful service. We sat on the patio each time and listened to the live music. It was one of our favorite places to relax while we were in Maui.
(4)Talisha S.
We stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday and late night happy hour on a Sunday. Neither time did we have to wait for a table. Service was better at happy hour than breakfast but at breakfast we got to sit outside. Threes has the best eggs Benedict. I can't remember what I had for happy hour but it was also delicious.
(5)wendy p.
Noodles to die for. Sushi good too. Kimchee pickle good. Nice live entertainment on patio during lunch too! Only negative was warm beer
(4)Zohra B.
This is one of our favorite spots when we come to Kihei. We've been several times on this trip. Great Happy Hour (daily 3-6 and 9p-close?), and they also serve a wonderful breakfast. For breakfast, the pancakes and benedicts were good. I ordered a single pancake and side of bacon. More than enough food for this girl. The boyfriend ordered a benedict and it was also tasty. I've also had the breakfast sandwich which is HUGE -- with home fries, what a meal! For Happy Hour, we like to get the sushi, specifically the spicy tuna or salmon. The panko crusted ahi is a top seller, but wasn't really our cup of tea. They also serve a mean pork nacho - decent portion and they use different kinds of chips (tortilla and multi-colored potato!) which I think is great. Also available are $3 Mai tais --- they are good, for the price. If you get a seat out on the front patio, there is often a musician playing which has a nice ambiance.
(4)Adam B.
The big plus here is access to local and recently caught fish, way fresher than anything you'll get on the mainland! The non-fish options are just ok. I guess this place is good if you're looking for a comfortable setting and strong air conditioning. Kalua Pork Nachos: I've never had nachos like these. Pork cooked in an underground oven, ranch dressing and colorful root vegetable chips mixed with traditional nacho chips. It was pretty tasty, but a tad heavy, so share! Seared Ahi: Tuna caught by a local fisherman in the past 48 hours. This puts the older frozen-then-thawed ahi we get on the mainland to shame. Just a thin and flavorful sear on the outside with tons of raw red goodness on the inside. The sugar peas served on the side were limp and overcooked. The "sticky" rice felt more soggy than sticky. But with such an amazing cut of fish I could easily forgive that. Kauai Shrimp Penne Pasta: Creamy and simple. A little skimpy on the shrimp though. Pineapple Upside Down Cake: This was a bit of a letdown. The cake part was dense and cold and little dry. The pineapple slice was thin and not as gooey/chewy as it should have been. A generous scoop of ice cream, but it didn't get melty at all since the cake wasn't warm.
(3)Kelli S.
Food was wonderful the pork nachos are creative and out of this world. I be back to have them again . The menu was also good it was hard to decide what I wanted cause it all sound so good. I had the Hawaiian rib the meat fell off the bone. Service was great we where we'll taken care of and they even ask twice to make sure are food was good.
(5)Genevieve D.
Best happy hour special. This place changed. Got their crap together. Come check it out. Don't mind the former reviews. They've never failed me. Foods so good Decor is cute. And comfy. We wanted to change our seats to inside because it was hot outside and our waitress let us:) Will return soon.
(5)Julie K.
Unorganized staff! Hostess told us to wait a few mins, so we waited off to the side. After that a server came a sat the party behind us! We were told the server was already had too many tables so we left fearing how bad the service was.
(1)Ruby R.
We have mixed feelings about this place. My boyfriend had the fish sandwich and I had the fish and chips. The fish and chips were okay but the rest of the food was bland and plain. This is a place id go back to if I really had no where else to go.
(3)Drew F.
Didn't even get to go in. Found out that the only way to get in was to have a reservation when got there, they did have a waiting list which was a hour long wait. We decided to chance it seeing there were table open and it wouldn't be too long. To save time we were going to look at the menu so all we had to do was sit down and order...boy am I glad we did. This is a lot more expensive then the reviews said. Dinner for 2 was going to be 60 without any type of drink or desert . $$ is a bad representation of that. More like $$$, once we saw that we left and a good hour later we got a call that we could be seated.
(2)Ryan W.
On our stay in Kihei, we sampled both Three's breakfast and dinner menu. Both were excellent! The banana mac pancakes were amazing, and my wife raved about the grilled Monchong. The atmosphere was relaxed, and fit the Kihei vibe.
(5)Greg L.
Very good food, excellent deals at Happy Hour. The outdoor seating is nice. Crowded, noisy, and a bit of a sports bar and dating scene, but worked with children even so.
(4)Kristen N.
Perfect place for happy hour!! My brother & I randomly stopped at Three's on our last night in Maui, and we wish we would have found this place much sooner in our vacation. We got there before happy hour started (I think the later one started at 9pm) and our waitress was nice enough to let us order early. When you can eat delicious sushi rolls, fish tacos, lettuce wraps, and each have a few cocktails for under $30 total, it is definitely a score! The food was honestly perfect and the drinks were nicely poured too, especially for happy hour! Besides the amazing food & drinks, the wait staff & atmosphere was awesome! When we were there they had surfing videos playing on the big screen and music going. For the amount of food we devoured, the drinks, and leaving with a full belly - it was cheaper than a number of other places we ate at on our trip, but the quality and atmosphere was 10 times better.
(5)Jorge C.
Went here several times. Food is very good. We shared several appetizers that were world class. Had mango salad and ribs on another visit. Drinks were clever and tasty. Staff was polite and friendly. Food came out quickly. We'll recommend to anyone.
(4)Lisa C.
This was my favourite meal on Maui... Sat on the patio, listened to music under the lights on the tree. We ordered a bunch of appies and enjoyed Mai Tais. Highlights were the coconut shrimp and lettuce wraps. Fish tacos were just average and the drinks were Delish.
(5)Sue O.
We came here to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. I ordered the mahi mahi and it was over cooked. My wife hade the spicy tuna roll, the seaweed was chewy and the ahi did not seem fresh. We had ahi at Leilani's in Kaanapoli and it melted in your mouth. NOT this. The Chardonnay we order was not good either. We were not offered a wine list just told the two Chard's they had. The bartender was informative but short.
(1)Dennis S.
Three year old review needs update. This is still one of the best pupu places in the South Maui area. Excellent variety of choices. It's also very accommodating to large groups. We took 11 over the Christmas holidays for a long lunch, and everything was excellent. Young kids were well taken care of, interesting menu options made everyone happy, and our waitress was fun from start to finish.
(4)Lisa E.
The patio dining was really cool and the live music was nice. Went here for lunch. We got the ahi & a crab cake, one drink each and one sushi roll & it was $75. I don't care if the food was good, that bill took all the fun out of it.
(3)Kim H.
I'd recommend this for breakfast if you don't want to wait in line at Kihei Cafe (or if you want a more standard dining experience with someone waiting on you; Kihei Cafe is a "walk up to the counter and order" place). Get a seat outdoors if you can. They have a deck with a big tree. Nice ambiance. The breakfast was pretty standard, but good. I got an omelet, which came with toast and potatoes. No complaints. I think the food at Kihei Cafe is more creative and well-done, but I'd come back here too.
(4)Tiffany S.
Overpriced and over-rated! First of all they sat us on the patio by the outside a/c unit so I had hot air blowing on me the entire time we were eating! We were seated early so there's no reason we couldn't have had a better seat! I didn't know until after it kicked on and started blowing hot air on me or I would have requested another seat (by that time they were full on the patio). We ordered an appetizer since they give you a free one! It was the best part of the meal, but again very over priced and not as good as the reviews and ads claim it is! We had the pork quesadilla, I would give it a 3 star rating. If the pork wasn't so dry it would have been much better! We ordered the Hawaiian style ribs and the Opakapaka which was the fish special of the night. I love this fish and it really is wonderful, unless its overcooked...and ours was! If you decide to eat here, and order fish, try it first and send it back if its not tasty and juicy! If you are paying this kind of money I should be done right the first time! The ribs were good but I have had much better! Again they make a big deal about these and they weren't all that amazing! The slaw was okay but tasted old and the presentation was fairly awkward and not plated well. A better side and presentation would have made this plate much better, I would give it 3 stars for taste alone. The service can sometimes be the saving grace for poor food, but I am sorry to say that this was lacking as well! Our waitress was either tired or upset or just out of it, because she just didn't really care about us or our experience. I tried to talk to a manager or owner, but they "were off catering an event" so there was conveniently no one to complain to! I love to support local businesses and love that this place is owned by three chefs that are friends, unfortunately they are not spending the time in the kitchen that they need to so that they can control the quality of the food they have designed!
(2)Christa B.
Great happy hour! We ordered California roll and ahi roll both were great. Our total for 4 drinks and 2 rolls was $30....its been my favorite happy hour so far in Kihei! Tim our server was nice and prompt with our order-- can't say anything negative about our experience.
(5)Robert C.
Just had to say Aloha and big thx to Mark. The fish n chips are spot on. Great services. This was at there new lunch truck location at 1975 s Kihei rd.
(5)M. J.
Monday night: Place was cute. Service was outstanding, Entertainment was outstanding. Spare Ribs were good in the center and tuff on the edges. Big chunks of potato skins were unexpected in what looked like mashed potatoes under the ribs with the greens on top. Have great photo of my dinner.
(4)Teresa F.
Great selection, food, music, but understaffed which renders service Inattentive & forgetful. I got yummy sushi rolls: rainbow & dragon.
(3)Yolanda K.
Kalua pork sandwich was great. My husband loved it with the coleslaw. The coconut shrimp salad was a nice combination of fruit and spices. I'd go back in a flash.
(4)Stephanie M.
This is our second visit to Threes and this time I wasn't as impressed as the first back in September 2013. Happy Hour margarita was cheap but cheap for a reason - very light on the tequila. Their outdoor seating is awesome but the sun just blares down on you and we had this annoying fly that kept crashing our little 2 person party. There were other tables in the shade but we had to sit at the few 2 tops. Sushi wasn't the best we've had on the island but it was good. Fish tacos were excellent. We sat inside at first while we waited for an outdoor spot to open up and ordered sushi at the sushi bar. They brought it to our table and we had to ask for sushi plates and chopsticks when the waiter brought out our sushi. Excellent wine selection though at great prices per bottle. Overall, I don't know if we'll be back again. There's a lot of similar spots in that little area and this one doesn't make my top list.
(3)E L.
We decided to go here to have a nice dinner. When. We arrived the hostess told is it was a 20in wait, however after 30 mins of waiting we asked how much longer and we told a hour. We asked why were we told 20 mins and the hostess laughed and said we just got more reservations online. We were disappointed for this was not mentioned to us 30 minutes ago. The hostess said it is what it is and online reservations take priority even if we were waiting already. If we were told this before hand we would of not waisted our time. We travel often and love going to different restaurants as we are resturant critics. The sad part of this situation is one none caring employee can truly make an impact on a resturant.
(1)Shelly E.
I was completely obsessed with this place while I was in Kihei! Three's has beautiful casual ambiance for indoor and outdoor seating. They have an amazing happy hour special on some killer entrées & cocktails as well as beautiful presentation, a great location inside of a local market and performers come through during happy hour that are really talented and add so much to the overall dining experience. All-in 5 stars from me!
(5)Jared M.
Great oysters, chipotle chicken wings are amazing. The service was quick and attentive, and the drinks were delicious. Over all, great food, drinks, service and prices.
(5)Craig S.
Very good typical Hawaiian fare with an outstanding outside dinning area. Make sure you checkin to get a free appetizer!
(4)Jessica W.
We stopped here for a last minute bite before headed to the airport and although not spectacular the prices were reasonable for Maui. I had the barbecue kalua pork sandwich which was just ok, but enjoyed the kimchi pickle. The others in my party ordered the ramen which had a nice presentation but was too sweet for our tastes. I wish we would have tried the fish market around the corner.
(3)Dana P.
Great laid back dinner with good food and good happy hour deals. Big relief from being at the resort. Loved the fish tacos (about half off during happy hour!... Which is really a long and generous happy hour)
(5)Olivia O.
We stopped here when we got to Maui, it was in a cute outdoor shopping area. It has indoor and outdoor seating and an extensive menu from American style to sushi. We just wanted salad/plant food after sitting on an airplane for 5 hours. My bf had a coconut shrimp salad which was good he said, although the breaded, deep fried shrimp was probably unnecessary. (Grilled would have been nice and light). I had the kale salad, which was also yummy but small for the price. Overall nice for a quick and simple meal.
(3)Kristin S.
Service was really good, our waiter was very nice but the food was just ok. The fish was fresh but it wasn't anything amazing. But I would definitely go back in a pinch.
(3)Richard H.
Went last night 1-7-15, this is a decent place for sushi although a bit overpriced 15 $ for a small martini glass about half filled with more seaweed then fish, and what fish is in their it was small pieces not big chunks like most places, the flovor was good just a bit odd in presentation, the yellowtail was excellent melt in your mouth. Now for the entrees. I had the mixed chopped plate, very bland the chicken was a small breast butterflied, crusted and cooked to the point the were it was dried out jerky topped with some kind of kimchee coleslaw, didn't like that at all. The coconut shrimp was just that nothing great not bad just okay, the flank steak was chewy and bla as well smothered in a tasteless sauce, the mashed purple potatoes were bland as well, for 30$ I would not order this again. My wife ordered the special coffee crusted pork. Hawaiians love their pork so this had to be a winner. Not, her meal tasted ok but, the problem is that the place is not very well lit and after she gave me a piece I looked at it and said you've been eating RAW PORK! of all the meats out their you never eat or serve raw pork Yuck!,.granted she ate about 1/2 the meal before realising it we told the manager and he apologized, but seriously never never never serve raw pig. He deducted 10$ of the bill , should have comp that meal but that's how it goes. The servers are very nice the sushi guys as well nice to talk to but the raw pork and the mixed plate meh. Won't do that again. Good place for pupus and drinks but I would stay away from the main dishes overpriced and just not very good. Again the staff was great to bad the food is not the same. Thanks for the chocolate mousse cake that actually was the hit of the evening and I didn't want that! I do like the restaurant good vibes here just please get it together in the entrees.
(2)Damon S.
My best friend who lives in Kihei is a regular at this place. After an early day of work in Hilo then a flight over to Maui, it was nice to be greeted by a friendly face and seated right away. The staff was nice and quick. I ordered the kalua pork nachos for my appetizer which was pretty good, and had the fish and chips as my entree which wasn't as good as the nacho. My friend insisted on ordering dessert so I ordered the hot chocolate lava cake (you need to order this when you order your appetizers or dinner so that they start baking it). When it came time for dessert it came out piping hot straight from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, perfection. My friend had the banana bread pudding with caramel sauce and a scoop of Vanilla ice cream, also very good. Food is kinda pricey but worth it.
(4)Douglas K.
Awesome Happy hour here with some live music on the patio. Quesadillas, oysters, and sushi was delicious and staff was friendly.
(5)Julia C.
Two years ago on the first morning of our first trip to Maui we were lured here for breakfast by the banner on the side of the deck that said $3 mimosas! The food was great and we had the outside seating to ourselves. It became our favorite breakfast spot in Kihei! We've spent some nice happy hours here with live music outside too.
(5)Rufus M.
Personally, I liked the story of the guys that started it more than the food. Started with the lettuce wraps, which were decent. Got the surf & turf. Also middle if the road. Steak was cooked well, but it was covered in what seemed like canned beef gravy. Chicken was very salty for my taste. Coconut shrimp was coconut shrimp - if you've had it before, you know what you're going to get.
(2)Arden B.
Three's was very average in most ways. We were seated inside, and the ambience was pretty much nonexistent. There was really no decor and the place looked very dated and worn. They brought a basket of a mix of thick cut potato chips (ICK!) and tortilla chips with a salsa that obviously came from a jar. We started with the sweet and spicy lettuce wraps that are made with ground turkey mixed with water chestnuts and tomatoes. I thought the tomato bit was odd because they were raw and thrown in to the hot turkey mixture. I think they would have been better cooked. The lettuce wasn't really crisp enough for this purpose, so the wraps were messy and fell apart easily. The turkey and the sauce it was served with were both very very good, though! We decided on two sushi rolls for dinner. We had the Volcano Roll, which is considered a "must have" by the restaurant and the rock n' roll roll. The rock n' roll was AMAZING! It was filled with unagi and avocado and topped with ahi and unagi glaze. DELICIOUS! The volcano roll was very okay. It was basically a california roll with salmon and ahi on top and drenched in spicy mayo. We didn't bother finishing that one. This place is alright. I wouldn't want to go back, but if I did, I would definitely order the rock n' roll again!
(3)Amy H.
We love Threes, especially the happy hour. The drinks are good. The service is Maui perfect - relaxed but present. The food is good - the nachos are amazing. (Three kinds of homemade chips with BBQ pork? What's not to love.) And the prices are very reasonable, especially for Maui. Just go. You'll be glad you did.
(5)Aaron C.
I had a great experience here while on vacation for a friend's wedding. They were accommodating of our large-ish party and were friendly and helpful. I annoyingly requested to have my dish rushed because I had a plane to catch, and they continued to be accommodating by bringing it out quite quickly...! I ordered the "Poke Bowl", and it was delicious! I didn't get to stay to try much else, but I enjoyed what I did get.
(4)Scouter R.
Outdoor seating Live music at lunch Damn good food and service. Surprising to find this place hidden around a corner - recommended by some friends Top 3 choices for lunch: 1.Ramen - yeah, I know what you are thinking, but this is not the ramen you peel the lid off of and add hot water; this is RAMEN. 2. Fresh island mahi mahi - so flavorful, you will lick the plate 3. Panko crusted ahi roll (actually an appetizer, but the kind of appetizer you wish was a full roll) Go forth and enjoy
(4)R C.
I had heard a lot about Three's and when my family of 4 visited Maui we decided to check it out. Three's is located in Central Kihei near many bars and shops, and I think when they chose this location they probably also chose a more casual feel for the inside of the restaurant. Surfing footage was projected onto a huge screen in the dining room. But I feel the food and service at Three's was as good or better than a much more traditional "fine dining" restaurant. We ordered the turkey lettuce wraps as an appetizer and these were the best lettuce wraps I have ever tasted, hands down. I ordered the mixed grill and my husband ordered some steak on ramen noodles. Both of our dinners were delicious. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and we appreciated that the food we ordered was something original that you aren't going to get just anywhere. My kids were happy with their meals too. I can't remember what they ordered, but there is a kids' menu. Three's has a great wine list and my server had a good command of what was on it, plus they have a good selection of beers and cocktails that you couldn't get just anywhere. Our service was perfect and overall I felt that our dinner was a great value. If Three's were located on the beach in Wailea, they would be able to get away with charging 2-3 times what they charged us for our dinners, and they would probably do quite well there...I wouldn't be surprised if they upgrade someday. But until then, Three's gives me one more thing to love about Kihei, my favorite neighborhood on Maui.
(5)Connie T.
Stopped here for a late lunch after the beach. We ordered the appetizer sampler which includes crab cakes, nachos, and coconut shrimp. Crab cakes weren't very good, didn't taste and crab just breading. We also got habanero and chipotle wings which were really spicy and California rolls. Its a good place for happy hour, don't know if I would come back for a full meal.
(3)Redford S.
Decided to stop by the food truck on my way to dropping off my rental car and heading back to the mainland. The menu is fairly large, the choices all look enticing, and the chef was courteous. I ordered a coconut encrusted fish sandwich with spicy aioli with grilled pineapple, lettuce, and tomato. It cost $10. I had my food quickly. I dropped off the rental car and chowed down. The fish was cooked perfectly. Excellent texture and taste from the crust. The Hawaiian roll also made a nice touch. Plus caramelized grilled pineapple is always delicious when done correctly. My only complaint: I should've asked for extra aioli.
