Betty’s Beach Cafe

GREAT breakfast. Be hungry because the food is delicious and the portions are large! Not to mention the incredible view. Betty’s is a perfect way to start any day.

Slow service, food was bland and nothing special. View is amazing though!

Beautiful setting, staff was amazing BUT food was the worst bit
e I ever tasted. I only tried one taste of the Eggs Benedict worst taste ever in my mouth the sauce taste like and looked like canned nacho cheese. The potatoes wasn’t much better. Husband had hamburger patty with white rice and brown gravy, eggs came over medium even tho the waitress stated so and husband requested over easy. I hope the reason for the worst breakfast ever was due to the fact we was the very 1^st customers of the day and they wasn’t ready, oh did I mention my food was also cold.

Located at 505 Front st in lahaina in a small shopping center. 1lb lobster special every Wednesday for 16.99 and a 12oz prime rib special on Fridays for 19.99. Additional purchase (any drink) is required. Come early cuz tables get full quickly. Food is very good. Easy street parking available. Btw, lobster comes with 1 scoop white rice & drawn butter, prime rib has mashed red potatoes & au jus… both very good!

We found this place looking around this small shopping area. Cool tiki style bar with a great view of the ocean. We had some good service with the waitress being assisted by a floor manager during a very busy football game crowd. We had a tasty breakfast served fairly quickly considering the place was packed and getting ready for the next round of football fans. I would not stay in Lahaina because its so overdeveloped but would stop by again when traveling in this part of the island.

Great views of the ocean and a cool atmosphere. The food was good, perhaps over priced. But the view made up for the ok food.

Sorry… Unfortunately we experienced food poisoning early the next morning after dining at Betty’s. Nice ambiance and I know many people enjoy the happy hour but the fish made me extremely sick. Also, I was disappointed in the manager’s response when I called to let them know.

Loved the pancakes. Recommended by s local. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was awesome.

The two stars is for the location. The messy Betty is really messy! The pancakes were tasteless. Wouldn’t go back.

Crazy, but some of the best aspects could also be the worst. The Wednesday lobster night is fun and the lobster is good. Comes with white rice and drawn butter. And in December 2015, it’s $ 16.95 and about a pound or so. BUT it’s lobster. So unless it’s a 3 pounder, you’ll still be hungry. We followed our dinner with a Mac n cheese. here it is. The kids Mac is a box prep; the adult is pretty good, from scratch and just a few dollars more. Let’s clear this up about the feast at lele. Yes you can «see» the show. But it’s the back and side shot of the stage — you see a far out side view at best. Who’s complaining tho. You get a good sense of what the show is all about. You do hear the show and that can be a little annoying at times. But mostly not a bad thing. Service is a little meh. It’s a casual place with decent food. Not in the middle of front street where it’s loud and bustling. So just chill out and enjoy it.

I did NOT want to do this my first night in Maui. Buttttttt it is a must! View is beautiful, I ordered a Mai Tai & my husband a Piña colada. Mine tasted like cough syrup, his watered down snow.
Ummmmm I had to say something. I took the drinks to the bar, ordered him a Margarita, myself a ketle one with pineapple & a splash of cran. Even worse.
I wanted to return mine again, but no I Sucked it up and drank it. My husband sent his back. We were as polite as we could be. She didn’t even offer him water or soda! Nothing.
Ok so Cesar salad came, crutons were soggy. Lord why didn’t I just go to the sports bar across the way and order a Moscow mule!
So our lobster dinner came! Please tell me they didn’t MESS up boiling a lobster. (My thoughts when it came) it was good.
Although she took my salad fork and didn’t bring me another. So I used my lobster fork to eat my rice.
Washed my hands and left ASAP!
IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE A GOOD DRINK AT LEAST BE COURTEOUS TO YOUR GUESTS! GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE GOES A LONG WAY! U WORK IN MAUI 4 PETES SAKE! #Mahalo

Figured I’d reminisce on Maui as I struggle to move through this lackluster «Hump Day»…
Betty, Betty,…why’d ya’ HURT me sooooo– gooood!!!
Hahah, thinking back, Guest Services at the Westin Hotel and Resort recommended Miss Betty when we inquired on some place tranquil, boasting ocean front views to better remember Lahaina by — prior to departing back for the mainland a few days later.
Located on the somewhat «touristy» yet trendy Front Street, sits this gem of a joint and we were able to walk directly in, void of reservations; something I considered to definitely be worth a star or 2.
The walk in, deserves it’s very own disclaimer… THIS PLACE HAS GOTTTT TO HAVE THE BEST VIEW ON THE ISLAND!!! Boasting dirt cheap booze at rock bottom prices, we quickly became regulars!
While the food wasn’t anything to write home about, the customer service was Grade A+ and did I mention the VIEWS???
#mahalo
We got to sit (somewhat) front row and enjoy a luau from start to finish. Guest (s) of some nearby «tourist traveling event» clearly overpayed for dinner and front row accommodations at the very same venue, YETTTT– despite their having paid upwards of $ 50/​pp for white linen dinners, we sat just as close for a fraction of the price while downing nachos!!!
What’s good, you ask??? Well…
— - — The ceviche was spot on.
— - — Margaritas didn’t let us down!
— - — …and the wings bonafide!!!

Food was great. The atmosphere is nice as we got a show during our dinner. The prices are very reasonable compared to a lot of the surrounding places.

Excellent food! And the scenery is breathtaking. If the smell of the ocean bothers you then this is not the place for you, but if you can get past it you will really enjoy yourself. The waitress doesn’t bother too much, but still very friendly. The happy drinks are unbeatable. Great music and atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back to Maui; this will be my go to place.

Ordered crispy bacon. Waitress mistook order of crispy sausage. She insisted that she was correct that I ordered something I don’t normally eat. She changed the order after all with smirk in her face. Why should a customer lie? 2 star for that.
After the meal: I changed my opinion about the service. The waitress made up from her brief moment of unprofessional attitude by giving us good service. Delivered the bacon with a smile. The smile lasted throughout the time we were in the restaurant. I now ammend the rating to 4 stars.

We absolutely loved Betty’s! Went on a Wednesday night, had a great lobster tail for $ 16.95 each, watched the entire Feast of Lele luau from our window seats, had multiple delicious cocktails and other food items and spent under $ 90 for the whole evening! Perfect!!! Wait staff was amazing (oh and beautiful to boot)! Absolute must visit in Lahaina! A+++++

After coming to Maui for many years and reading about Betty’s, we finally stopped in on a Wednesday night. We were not disappointed!
The hostess estimated the wait to be as long as 40 minutes and offered to call our mobile number if we wanted to take a walk. However, we were seated within 10 minutes at a table right by the open window overlooking the beach where the Feast of LeLe Lu’au was in full swing! My 3-​yr-​old daughter was instantly enthralled.
Wednesday nights are lobster nights — $ 16.99 for a fresh steamed 1 lb Maine lobster with rice, lemon, and butter. Also had the spicy chicken wings, hamburger w grilled Maui onions, and Keiki chicken and fries. Everything was delicious, and a STEAL when compared to the $ 125 pp paid by the folks at the Lu’au less than 10 ft away!
The service was friendly and well-​paced, allowing us to enjoy our meal and the show. Definitely a local gem we will be visiting in the future!

A year later and nothing has changed. Still a great place to watch hula dancing for free at around 6pm.
Food 3 ½ rating. Service 4 ½.
Their prices for Hawaii are average and fair.
Good service and nice selection of food.

OMG! Just revisited my review of Betty’s in Lahaina and looked at my picture of the menu. Did not realize they were related to Zelda’s in Capitola! Wow. I love Zelda’s and it’s been there for decades. No wonder I love Betty’s so much.

You can reserve a table right here at Betty’s and ask them to seat you so you can see the Feast of Lele and you can have a view of the show which starts about 7 – 7:15 pm.
We started off with the chips and salsa, along with White Wine cooler and Lava Flow both delish. Then shared a side salad and main courses included the Kalua pork sandwich and grilled ono fish taco. Both tasty. The pork was alittle dry but tasty. We ended the meal with Betty’s famous mango mud pie that can feed 3 – 4 people! All were tasty and satisfying and topping it off with the Polynesian show without having to sit through the Polynesian dinner which was from start to finish 3 hours long. If you just want a sampling of the show, you may not want to stay for 3 hours eating at Betty’s because the breaks between the show at the Feast of Lele lasted between 30 – 45 minutes so they could serve food from different islands. Not very exciting in between the meals as they had no entertainment.
