Got right in around 6pm but the avocado rolls were really strange tasting. i would no go there again but the artichoke dip was pretty good and the garden salad was good too. the dinners are pricy but a nice view of the water. go at your own risk more

This is absolutely one of the worst restaurants we have ever attended. We had a bad experience at this restaurant about 3 years ago - but thought it might have improved - it hasn't. Service was terrible, as usual. The breakfast was so substandard I won't even elaborate - raw bacon, unripe papaya, yada yada yada. Some things just never... more

I should have taken it as a sign to turn around and walk the other way, when it took the hostess 15 minutes to realize we were waiting at the hostess stand for a table. But, the restaurant was a sports bar, and it was football Sunday, so we waited, and waited, and were finally shown to our table. Once... more

I just left The Rusty Harpoon and after reading all these negetative comments I am overwhelmed. Me and my wife just left the best meal we had on the island. We have eaten here three times and all time were great. The drinks are cheap and very Ono as they say in Hawaii. I think all the other reviews were... more

Never eat at this restaurant. We just returned from Maui and while there decided to have lunch last week (Thursday October 25, 2007) at the Rusty Harpoon. What a mistake. The food was tasteless and the service just plain awful. When we arrived (myself, my wife and our 13 year old duaghter) it was 11:30 a.m. Finally after we were... more

We just returned from Maui and we can't express how terrible our experience was at this place. First, we ordered drinks. I ordered a drink off of the speciality menu which included a souvenir cup. No price was listed anywhere, but I went for it as I am on vacation. The drink came out and I HATED it. It was... more

We (2 people) waited for an hour and consequently watched while another couple was seated immediately. When challenged, the hostess was rude and smug. We left. During our hour wait, it appeared that there were others who were less than happy with their experience there too. Do not bother with this place. more

Okay people just got back from lahaina today and visited this establishment on Sunday evening. I'm gonna be frank with all of you out there reading this to do research on this place. The food here isnt good at all...It became really crowded here but I guess thats because of the high density of hotels nearby. Had a few drinks... more

My husband and I recently spent 10 days in Hawaii. After several high priced meals and lots of food with Asain flare, we decided we were both in the mood for a plain old burger. We made the mistake of not looking at the menu prior to being seated at the Rusty Harpoon...as soon as we got close to the... more

We recently had dinner at the Rusty Harpoon in Whaler's Village and had an excellent experience from beginning to end. We did not have reservations but were seated at an oceanside table without delay. We had a short wait for our order to be taken and the food arrived promptly. The salads were delicious but the dressing could have been... more
