Mama's Rib's Rotisserie - Lahaina

Mama’s Ribs and Rotisserie is a small restaurant located in the Napili Plaza shopping center on the west side of Maui, specifically at 5095 Napilihau Street. You can reach them at 808-665-6262. While primarily a take-out spot, Mama’s Ribs does offer a few indoor tables for diners. Ordering is done at the counter, and customers pick up their meals there, as there are no servers. The food is typically served in Styrofoam containers. The menu features BBQ ribs, chicken, chili, pot roasts, salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Most meals include rice, beans, and/or macaroni salad.

Aussies, you’ve got to check this place out! During my holiday in Maui, Australia, we unexpectedly discovered Mamas after taking a wrong bus and ending up in a small mall. The bus driver highly recommended it, saying everyone he knows loves it. And let me tell you, the food was amazing! I had never tasted BBQ sauce baked beans before, and I’m still missing them! The ladies at the counter were incredibly helpful, guiding us lost Aussies through the menu. This spot is perfect if you're tired of paying exorbitant prices for low-quality hotel food during your Maui trip. I know exactly where I’ll be heading the next time I visit!

Cheap and cheerful. Not impressed by Iron Emu, we decided to try Mama 's Ribs Rotisseries and it didn't disappoint. We have chicken and rib, Portuguese soup, chili with rice and beans on the side. The chicken was moist and tasteful, 't get to try the ribs because my picky-diner-friend grinded them down (a witness how good they must have been), the Portuguese soup was comforting (have sausage, beans and greens in a seasoned tomato broth), the chili was average; but the beans were smokey and slightly sweet nice on white rice. I still think about her. The service was also good. The cashier made an error to my order when it was brought to their attention, they quickly fixed the problem with no foot or additional costs. Not too bad for a fast food chain has not received this type of service in the highly rated restaurants in the area.

Incredible! I completely disagree with some of the reviews out there. I believe this place is fantastic—a hidden gem!

Not cheap. Ribe and chili combo are pretty good. But it's not cheap. For a family of 4 (with 2 younger kids sharing an entree), we run about $50. And that doesn't include any drinks. But the food tastes good.
