    Hali’imaile General Store

    Hali’imaile General Store (Dinner $$$$ / Lunch $$$) – A hard choice, but this is our favorite.  Somewhat “up country”, but it short 30 minute and easy drive (Google Maps). Head up Rt. 37 towards Haleakala Crater. Take the first left onto Rt. 371.  The Restaurant is a little ways ahead on the right and you cannot miss it.  The setting is an old general store, but always a very classy meal.  Always fresh catch seafood and, of course, their famous ribs!  Reservations are suggested so make plans and call them at 808-572-2666.

“VERY LOCAL JOINTS”

So what is a “Local Joint?”  Super casual where locals enjoy grabbing a bite to eat.  These are smaller local eateries that are easy to overlook.  There are many on the island, but here are some of our favorites.
