Top 10 Places for Burgers on Maui

You will find that they use the freshest locally caught fish for the fish burger. It’s not just the fish; they make everything fresh here, which you’ll notice from the first bite to the last. Chef Zach is passionate about using local ingredients and supporting the sources on our island.

This isn’t your ordinary burger joint! You can get amazing made-to-order smash burgers, but many customers come in just for the noodles and sushi dishes. Just a few of the delicious dishes you’ll find here are the Chili Watah Oyster Shooters, Adobo Ribs, and Wagyu Chow Fun.

For the uninformed, smash burgers are made by smashing ground beef on a grill. This sears in the juices and creates tastier, softer patties laced with crisp edges.

Insider Tip: If you plan a trip to Havens, make sure to get there early. This place is so popular that they may sell out of your favorite dish before the end of the day!

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.

This iconic Kihei eatery has carved out a niche for itself with a tasty and fresh menu that features some of the best burgers on Maui. At Nalu’s, burger lovers are treated to a triad of gourmet burger options: the Straight Up Burger, Korean Bulgogi Burger, and the Apple Brie Burger.

The Straight Up Burger is a classic redefined. It features a grass-fed, certified Angus beef patty on a toasted brioche bun, brushed with Dijon mustard aioli. Diners can take their burger up a notch with add-ons like cheese, avocado, or applewood-smoked bacon. For those with a penchant for unique flavors, the Korean Bulgogi Burger is a masterpiece! It combines the same high-quality beef with a sweet-spicy Korean BBQ marinade, gochujang aioli, Asian pear kim chee, and melted Swiss cheese.

Not to be outshined, the Apple Brie Burger is a mouthwatering choice. It combines the savory taste of Angus beef with the sweetness of caramelized Maui onions, the tartness of Granny Smith apples, the creaminess of melted French brie, and the crunch of applewood-smoked bacon. Encased all of that in a toasted brioche bun, and this burger is to die for!

What further sets Nalu’s apart is their choice of sides. Their homemade potato chips are seasoned with truffle sea salt, and the fresh local Kula baby greens salad is divine. What’s more, brioche buns may be swapped for gluten-free ones, as Nalu’s makes sure that every guest (regardless of dietary needs) can take part in the ultimate Maui burger experience!

All burgers are served with local Kula lettuce, Maui onions, and a choice of cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack cheese.

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.
