Da Kitchen Express
It's all about the plate lunches - tasty and huge - at this quintessentially Hawaiian diner. The local favorite is Da Lau Lau Plate (with steamed pork wrapped in taro leaves), but you won't go wrong with any choice, from teriyaki chicken to loco moco (a dish of rice, fried egg and hamburger patty topped with gravy).

Joe's Bar & Grill
Run by the owners of the famed Hali'imaile General Store, Joe's has become celebrated in its own right. The emphasis is on solid American standards, like the slow roast beef prime rib or the fresh catch served with honey butter and whipped potatoes. Go Hawaiian for dessert, with a decadent pineapple cake topped with glazed macadamia nuts.

Kimo's
At this Hawaiian-style standby, you'll not only find reliable food and a fine water view, but the place is large and lively enough that the kids can relax and be themselves. All the usual fresh fish, steak and chicken dinners come with warm carrot muffins and a Caesar salad. Lunch covers the gamut, from sandwiches and salads to the catch of the day.

Polli's
Locals flock to this old standby Tex-Mex restaurant to down a few cervezas (beers) while munching away on nachos, tacos and sizzling fajitas. Nonstop surf videos and plenty of spirited chatter keep the scene high energy.

Yorman's by the Sea
Don't expect locals to let this one out of the bag. Kihei's best-kept secret, Yorman's overlooks an ancient fishpond and has an amazing water view. The food hails from the US South, with the likes of pork chops and pecan-crusted chicken. A jazz band (with owner Yorman Williams on bass) plays in the evening. Or swing by for Sunday brunch when there's live ukulele music.
