Top 10 Places for Burgers On Maui

The burger at Pint & Cork is terrific! Named the BIB Burger, carnivores can enjoy a savory house ground beef patty with white cheddar, crispy bacon, charred onion, fried egg, pickle, arugula greens, whiskey 1000 and an ‘oh, so satisfying’ brioche bun. This is the only burger on their menu, and it’s absolutely the only one that they need. Upgrade it with an order of their Parmesan Fries, and you’ll be in 7th Heaven.

If you’re visiting this Maui restaurant with kids, not to worry, they also have Keiki Sliders on the kid’s menu; two mini cheeseburgers served with French fries. Make it a family burger affair.

When you order a burger at Pint & Cork, compliment it with a selection of their famous side dishes like their Mac & Cheese and Fried Chicken Wings. You can’t go wrong. Here, you’ll find quite the beer selection, so you’ll also want to add a few of Maui’s microbrews to your order.

Besides the burger, Pint & Cork has a diverse menu full of popular and tasty bites. We also love their Kalua Pork Sliders, Strawberry- Beet Salad, Ahi Sandwich, Shrimp and Grits, 16 oz Rib Eye and their Pork Adobo Moco. Yum…

The Pint & Cork is open from 11am-2am 7 days a week. Their kitchen closes at midnight, but you can still enjoy cold brews, mixology-style cocktails and good times until their doors close.

A BIG handful of the most popular burgers at Cool Cat are the “Leader of the Pack,” “Big Bopper,” “Bonanza,” “Ali’i,” “Bogy Burger,” “Marilyn Burger” (some like it hot!), “The Duke,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “La Bamba Burger,” “The Frisco” (served on grilled sourdough), and my personal favorite “The Luna Burger” (served with bacon, melted Jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, onions, pickles and a homemade Thousand Island dressing).

Another cool thing about Cool Cat’s Burgers is that they always have a ‘Burger of the Month,’ so it’s impossible to get bored here. The January 2019 Burger of the Month was the “The Dip” (Angus beef topped with Swiss cheese, smothered with mushrooms and onions sauteed in a garlic black pepper cream sauce and served on a fresh-baked ciabatta bun with sides of au jus and their homemade horseradish cream). Holy moly!

By the way, Cool Cat Cafe offers FREE validated parking in downtown Lahaina. The entrance to the parking lot is behind Cool Cat Cafe, at the cross-section of Hale Street/Luakini Street*

All burgers are served with local Kula lettuce, Maui onions, and a choice of cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese. More add-on options include grilled Maui pineapple, roasted mushrooms, housemate kimchee, caramelized onions, and bacon. Guests with allergies will love that they also offer gluten-free bread rolls.

More menu options at the Ranch Grill include Ono Plate Lunches like the Kalbi Ribs, Uncle Mike’s Steak Chili & Rice, and the Hamburger Steak with Kona Gravy & Garlic Aioli.

While relaxing with Mt. Haleakala and Maui coastline views, all guests will love eating and spending time in their outdoor dining areas. The staff is always accommodating and friendly, and visitors will adore the general store and gift shop. It’s a historical building full of a variety of Maui made gifts and Upcountry Maui Western-style souvenirs.

If you’re visiting Upcountry Maui locations, make sure to stop for lunch at the Ulupalakua Ranch Store. Perched across the road from MauiWine, here’s a super convenient opportunity to enjoy a Maui burger, and go wine tasting in beautiful Upcountry Maui.

The menu at Mala is full of fantastic options, and the burgers are amazing. The island-famous Mala Cheeseburger and Fries is made with a 1/2 lb Maui Cattle 100% grass-fed beef patty; Applewood smoked bacon, caramelized onions, and a brioche bun. Mala serves it with a side of fries or a side salad, and we highly recommend adding avocado.

For those that are looking for a tasty local fish burger, we also recommend Mala’s House Made Ahi Burger. They make it with a house-made ground Ahi tuna patty, mojo verde sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, and edamame puree. The ahi is fresh and caught locally daily.

At Mala, guests can enjoy brunch, happy hour, and dinner 7-days a week. They also offer late-night dining from 10pm-midnight with a happy hour food and drink menu.

The “Maui Cattle Company Cheese Burger” is made with 100% Maui grown beef, Dijon aioli, Fontina cheese, vine-ripened tomatoes, butter leaf lettuce, and a house made quick pickle. “Pete’s Classic Burger” definitely won’t disappoint, made with 100% Maui grown beef, Umami mushrooms, Gruyere cheese, arugula greens, and horseradish crema. If red meat doesn’t tickle your tongue, guests can also enjoy Monkeypod’s fantastic “Turkey Burger.” This guy is made with 100% free range natural turkey meat, Asian pear slices, sautéed onions, Gruyere cheese, arugula greens and house cut bacon. Mmm…mmm…mm!

Naturally, all the above Monkeypod burgers will go very nicely with a cold Maui Brewing Company draft beer. Monkeypod is a great place for foodie enthusiasts, fans of local and organic, and craft beer lovers! Just sayin.’

At Mambo, burger lovers have eight mouthwatering opportunities! They are all served on a brioche bun with a salsa mayonnaise, and accompanied by your choice of French fries or a Kula baby greens salad. The “Maui Cattle Company Organic Beef Burger” is a classic North Shore favorite. This one is a straight up traditional Maui burger served with your choice of fresh toppings. The “Aloha Cheeseburger” is made with Maui beef and served with a pineapple slice, and the “Mambo Bacon Cheeseburger” is like the all time post surf session burger of champions with Maui beef, crispy bacon and a Spanish omelette. Also on the menu are two rare burger options, “The Crispy Duck Burger” which is very juicy and memorable, and the ono-licious “Kalua Pork Burger.” The “Organic Tofu Burger” is a favorite for Vegetarians, and fish lovers will definitely enjoy the “Island Fish of the Day Burger” served with tartar sauce, or the “Fresh Ahi Burger.”

All of Mambo’s melt-in-your-mouth burgers are priced between $12-$14. This is a great place to eat in Paia with your family and friends, and definitely a place for a tasty meal without breaking the bank!

In fact, there are three amazing burgers on this Maui brewhouse menu; the MBC Griddle Cheeseburger, the Jalapeño Bacon Burger, and the Against the Grain Veggie Burger. We love every single one of these tasty burger versions, and alongside a cold Maui brew, house cut, or sriracha fries, you are golden.

The MBC Griddle Cheese Burger is super savory with shaved red onion, butter lettuce, cheddar cheese, and MBC’s special “8 Island Sauce.” The Jalapeño Bacon Burger is definitely for someone that likes a kick of flavor with house-made jalapeño bacon, jack cheese, fried avocado, and tasty cilantro mayonnaise.
The Against the Grain Veggie Burger is a top choice, and definitely not like your conventional veggie burger. It’s made with fresh vegetables and macadamia nuts and is highlighted with miso, pickled ginger, avocado, and mayo. They are all so ono.

At Teddy’s, the menu is simple, yet streamlined and full of yummy goodness. The first thing you have to decide is what size burger you want: Big (5 oz.), Bigger (7 oz.) or Biggest (9 oz.). For the beef burgers you have a choice of Original, Teriyaki or a Monster Double. Each burger is made to order, so you know it’s going to be perfectly cooked to your liking with many options for extras. You can add cheese (of course!), grilled onions, onion rings (yum!), grilled pineapple, jalapeños, bacon, mushrooms, avocado (yes!), fried egg, green chile and more.

If you’d prefer a grilled or crispy chicken sandwich, that’s a possibility too. They also offer a yummy turkey and veggie burger for those that aren’t inclined to beef. The kids menu is perfect with a burger, corn dog or chicken nuggets option- and the kids combo comes with fries and a drink.

Ok, the extra crispy french fries at Teddy’s in Lahaina are off-the-hook! They also have tater tots and onion rings, and you can even order the fries spicy, with garlic or with cheese.

Colleen’s doesn’t have just one, but eight amazing burgers! The “Upcountry Beef Burger” is made with Maui Cattle Company hormone free beef, locally grown Maui tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, crisp lettuce, and melted Muenster cheese. Another great Maui beef option is the “Bacon & Blue Cheese Burger.” Both the “Portobello Mushroom Burger” and the “Organic Life Burger” are Vegetarian selections, and all the fish burgers are a good choice with the “Grilled Ono Fish Burger,” “Grilled Ahi Burger,” “Grilled Mahi Mahi Burger,” and the “Fresh Catch Burger.” When ordering burgers at Colleen’s in Haiku, you can add fries for $1 and a pint of beer for only $3.95.
