Tin Roof, Kahului, Maui, Hawaii

This is our number one favorite place to eat in Maui. It is nothing to look at, and the food is available exclusively through take out, but there are daily specials and you can order and pay on line through a very functional website, so it is slick and easy to get food. We ordered when we flew in and drove to our Airbnb to eat it. It is owned and operated by Sheldon Simeon, who wrote Cook Real Hawai'i, which is an exceptional cookbook. If you eat here and love what you eat, you can get this cookbook for about the cost of an entree and make it yourself.

We loved the Garlic Shrimp and recommend it as is, no additional add-ons. It comes with 8 shrimp, perfectly cooked, replete with garlic, and the cost was $14 (to give a sense, we ate at a sit down place in Kula where we got 6 similarly sized shrimp in a dish for $39 and it wasn't even as good). The prices here are another thing that make it stand out--very affordable and very delicious food.
