Maili Sunset Bar & Grill

I have no idea how this place received so many great reviews. I am writing this just after leaving this place and feeling disgusted. We ordered the shrimp burgers which took 20 minutes to arrive. The buns had a strange chemically taste and the fried shrimps were super thin and greasy. My garlic fries were also drenched in oil. We all left feeling very disgusted with the greasy room temperature food.
The bathrooms were dirty and the hallway smelled like dirty hamster cage. We will never ever be back.

Amazing Place Great view 1 $ beers and great portion of food for $$$ the service was slow and poor when I was there even tho they had 3 staff members on the floor and only about 4 tables. But what ever I would definitely still rave about this place for its pricing and view.

This place has great happy hour draft prices, and a wonderful location with a spectacular view BUT service is very slow. My girlfriend and I come here for happy hour and even with only a few people inside, they still seem to take their time addressing customers and serving them drinks.
SLOW SERVICE!!!: (

For it being Valentine’s day. we didn’t have reservations and we were still seated quickly got our food fast and the service was friendly. I loved the laid back atmosphere as well as the staffs attentiveness. I know for my family. They absolutely loved the butter garlic shrimp so we had to order another plate of it. I loved the steak and onions. Next time we’ll try one of their combos. Thank you guys. Good food.

The Cajun spice with butter garlic on the seafood is amazing! Bring a bib or a shirt you can splash on cuz it’s that good!

The food here is remarkably on point, very tasteful with a variety of options. Our service was quick & friendly. The atmosphere is open as you walk in with large group seating available. A stage with live Local music in the evening, and there is an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean and the Sunsets on the Westside are the best! take out is also available!

As a real estate professional, i’m always on the road entertaining customers and business partners so a big part of my day is spent eating & drinking. Maili Sunset Bar & Grill is amongst the best eateries. The ambiance is nice with a modern feel and beautiful sunset views. The waitresses were friendly and the service was good. As for the food, it’s amazing! My customer and I had steak, chicken & butter garlic shrimp. The price tag on the items are very reasonable for the quality & portions served.
I HAVE RECCOMENDED MAILI SUNSET BAR & GRILL TO MY CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS AND FAMILY AND I PERSONALLY WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PATRON. SATISFIED CUSTOMER!

If you’re in Waianae (or not), do yourself a favor and eat here. It’s not the best ‘crab pot’ restaurant, but there are TWO dishes that will make your visit well worth it.
ONE… the lobster appetizer! It’s lobster tail chunks swimming in some kind of buttery flavorful concoction. Comes with slices of bread that will just make your mouth water. We liked it so much, we were seriously thinking about ordering a third order but we reluctantly restrained our selves.
TWO…the shrimp burgers! After I took my first bite, it brought me back to when Byron’s was still open. The number one thing I missed about Byron’s was those shrimp burgers. But now, my days spent missing Byron’s shrimp burgers are finally over because I can get them right here.
Our waitress was great. She checked up on us often and even brought extra napkins without us having to ask. The view (if you get a table near the window) is beautiful. The beach is right across the street. Much more beautiful if you come during sunset.

I’ve been craving to visit this place after watching their food post on their Instagram for about 8 months lol I finally had the chance to eat here and let me tell you, I live in town but after this experience I would make the drive to the west side everyday just to eat at Maili Sunset. Everything was perfect From the service, the view and most importantly the food and drinks The venue is very CLEAN and spacious. We ordered the shrimp tempura, pupu steak and lobster. I definitely have to come back here to try their whole menu lol The bartender recommended the sunset lemonade and it was perfect. I’m sure with whatever you order you will never be disappointed.

I have to come here at least once a month! I either get a combo #1 to share, or the butter garlic shrimp and pupu steak! I loooove it! Great place to grab some drinks too! Staff is always friendly and tentative, even though they get super busy!

It’s football season again, and happy hour starts at 11am to 4pm $ 1 any draft beers! Their appetizers are yummy and their seafood combos are worth your bucks. Their staffs are friendly and attentive. You have a great view of the ocean, they have big screen TV’S on all angles to watch any game that is on. Their bathrooms are clean. They have additional parking in the back of the restaurant. They do take reservations for big groups. I’ll definitely be back here again!

You can come here to chill or eat I love this place in my home town!!! They have that awesome combo 2 shrimp burger with fries and drink so delish and my favorite thing to order plus the price is worth every bite!!!

In the heart of Maili, on the west side, wanted to try this joint since a good friend gave it rave reviews. Nice views since its right across the beach. Lots of parking. Very casual atmosphere, you can wear shorts.
If you don’t mind the paper plates and plastic utensils this is the place for good food. Usually open at 4:30pm but since it’s foot ball season they open at 11:00 and $ 1.00 draft beers till 4:00pm.
The place is very casual and nice atmosphere instead of the hustle and bustle if town.
Very busy so it took a little while to take our order. Staff was nice as could be. Was surprised the food was what they said it would be. My favorite wax the the steak pupu. Kim Chee chicken, ahi Cesar salad, was supah good. Salt pepper chicken eh, just ok.
Restaurant clean and bathrooms clean, although the paper towel ran out, but clean it was. Definitely coming back to try out their seafood package. A hidden gem on the west side.

Tried their beef burger which was surprisingly good. Seafood combo dishes are awesome! Well seasoned, fast and friendly service and stunning view. I can’t ask for more.

Food was great tonight. Bit bummed they ran out of prime rib but it was such a good deal I’m not surprised. The only qualm I have is with our waitress. Gorgeous girl, is flaunting it cause she has it, but her see through pants were very distracting to my husband. I’m totally fine with him looking but he kept telling me he was able to see her g string through her tights. Not sure if that is appropriate attire for a family restaurant. If my son was a bit older I probably would’ve just gotten up and left. I can’t remember her name per se (receipt didn’t have server name) but I think she introduced herself to my husband as ‘Summer’?
I also appreciate the cook was going around and checking to make sure his food was good. Bartender was friendly and definitely on his game while we sat at the bar waiting for a table. Super busy and I can see why. Definitely check this place out if you’re on this side.

.gosh. Sooooo ono (delicious)!!! We split shrimp burger (there’s 2 per order with fries) and a pound of butter garlic shrimp. Best shrimp we’ve had in years. We will be back for sure! Rachel was a great server too!

Maybe it’s just us, but for a family of four, we were a tad underwhelmed, especially based on the Unilocal reviews. Yep, the garlic butter shrimp was pretty amazing, but the pros sorta stop there. First, the waitress, though sweet, was not the sharpest or most attentive we’ve ever had. Yep, my wife made a BIG mistake by ordering a mai tai in a semi-​dive type joint that resembles a VFW hall. Why would you do that, I asked??? No surprise — the mai tai was not like any mai tai we’ve ever seen or tasted. Awful. Told the waitress — she told us it was a «special» mai tai, and offered a «regular.» Even worse. To her credit, she took both off the bill (my wife didn’t drink either) and my wife was finally happy with her bottled beer.
Next, all four of the entrees we ordered came AT DIFFERENT times. So, my older daughter had her cheeseburger (reported it was quite good) about 15 minutes before any other food came. Finished it in fact before anything else came. Next, the shrimp was delivered. Quite good, as mentioned. About 5 minutes later, the pork quesadillas came for my other daughter, who reported they were just ok. I couldn’t really discern any pork in the middle. Finally, after another five minutes, the sautéed mahi mani arrived, and it was pretty rubbery. We’ve had the most amazing mahi EVER during our stay here at several other places, so I gotta believe it was simply the poor preparation. We were just a bout completely done, when SURPRISE, my wife’s corn on the cob arrived — she totally forgot she had ordered it.
One final tid bit — the restrooms are outside in the shared hallway. I noticed a VERY LARGE leak in the ceiling — dripping fairly constantly — right onto the power strip into which ALL of the fluorescent lighting fixtures in the hallway were plugged. Oops — NOT GOOD! Maybe we caught them on a bad night?

Been here numerous times for different occasions, this place never fails to amaze me! Always friendly staff, good drinks, often times live entertainment or soft music playing, karaōke after a certain time and let’s not forget the amazingly delicious food!
All of their pupus are awesome. If you are a local or visiting Hawaii from out of state, there is something to please everyone’s taste buds (kids, adults, picky eaters, vegetarians). Their seafood is always a hit, try their famous butter garlic shrimp scampi with a combo #1 ;). Or if you’re on a tight budget, their shrimp burgers are just as awesome and satisfying!
Last and not least it is also known as Maili Sunset Bar & Grill, you get to watch the most beautiful sunset oahu has to offer on the west side, what better place to enjoy a sunset than with a delicious and satisfying drink (especially after a long hard day at work). If you are ever on the west side, Maili Sunset Bar & Grill is the place to be!

Loved the seafood bowl. It was Delish. I definitely recommend this to everyone. The waitress are really nice too.

Decided to try this place since I’ve heard a few good things about this place. This is a no frills bar with a pretty darn good view of the ocean. I was a bit leery about bringing my kids to a bar, but they’ve got a kid’s menu and there were other kids around.
I decided to get their seafood combos which is basically a a bucket of seafood cooked in a bag. You choose the seafood combo, sauce, and level of spice. I almost chose scampi, but decided not to when the waitress stated it was more like an odd ranch sauce… hmmm…with seafood… huh? Good olé garlic and butter it is then. When my bucket came, it was piping hot and the smell of buttery garlic was inviting! When I lifted the bag, it felt like it was about 10lbs! That’s a LOT of seafood for a measely $ 50! To be more specific, there were 3 good size lobster tails, 4 – 5 mussels, tons of clams, shrimp, and crawfish.
Hubs got the cut up pieces of steak. It was small, more of an appetizer size, but VERY tasty! Hubs and I shared the seafood bucket and it was perfect portions for us.
THE BEST PART??? 25% off with military ID!!! Not a measly 5% or 10%, but a whopping 25%!!! That’s only $ 37.50 for that huge seafood bucket! That’s a friggin amazing deal in Hawaii! Don’t worry if you don’t serve in the military. If your bill is over 60 $ I believe, then you get 25% off your next meal!
Service was good… food was great… view was awesome… doesn’t really get better than this in Maili…
