Uncle Harry's Marketplace — Restaurant in Maui

Set against the backdrop of the beautiful trail to Hona in Maui, Uncle Harry's Outdoor Marketplace is a testament to the power of simplicity. This roadside hub doesn't need frills or fanciful decor to make an impact. Instead, it captivates with a few picnic tables, a welcoming order window, and an undeniable charm that reflects the real essence of Hawaiian hospitality.

The staff at the order window, though perhaps not Uncle Harry himself, welcome you with friendly smiles and an inviting atmosphere. It's a roadside shack, but the warmth of the staff immediately makes you feel at home, serving as a beautiful reminder that genuine hospitality goes beyond grandeur and luxury.

The food on offer truly celebrates Hawaiian culinary traditions. Prepared with locally sourced ingredients, each dish, be it the juicy Huli Huli chicken, the flavorful Kalua pork, or the satisfying Loco Moco, offers a taste of the island's rich and diverse cuisine. The outdoor setup is uncomplicated - a few picnic tables under the open Hawaiian sky - but it's this simplicity that amplifies the authenticity of the dining experience.

Despite its humble setup, Uncle Harry's Outdoor Marketplace doesn't compromise on service. The staff are attentive, ensuring you feel looked after from the moment you place your order to the time you leave.

In a nutshell, Uncle Harry's Outdoor Marketplace is all about rustic charm and sincerity. It doesn't rely on the gloss of modern restaurants or the allure of fancy decor. Instead, it wins hearts with its genuine food, earnest service, and a down-to-earth, outdoor setup that lets you enjoy your meal amidst the natural beauty of Maui. Here, the spirit of 'ohana' and 'aloha' is in every detail, creating an experience that's as real and unforgettable as the Hawaiian...

Great stop on the road to/from Hana. We stopped on the way back before the crowds swamped it, and the food was tasty and fresh, the one lady working was lovely to chat with, and - although, like most stands on the road to Hana, there was no public washroom - the outdoor sink where you could wash up after eating was much appreciated.

If they've got the malasadas, GET THEM. These are Portuguese/Hawaiian donuts served on a skewer and they were heavenly. They are simple (sugar coated), but fresh and perfectly fried, with a lovely, subtle hint of vanilla and rum flavour. Some of the best donuts I've ever had, and I'm from a city that is constantly patting itself on the back for its artisanal donuts.

A great little stand and highly recommended, especially if you're craving some...

The food here is VERY basic. It is like a small upgrade of a lids lemonade stand. It was nice that they had good parking, covered tables, and were friendly. However this is the type of food your 12 year old makes when they are home alone. Hot dogs or nachos basically. It seems like there are much better options. We stopped here because when we drove the Hana Highway back in 2011 there were no options and we wanted to make sure to get some food. Now however there were a lot of other options including huli-huli chicken that we regretted missing, because of this stop.definately...
