There’s more to Hawai‘i’s food than kālua pig and poi . If you’re looking for a Hawai‘i take on some of your favorite dishes, look no further than DOWN THE HATCH . Here, the emphasis is on locally sourced ingredients, especially fresh fish. This eatery, located right across from Lahaina’s famous Banyan Tree, has something for everyone: breakfast, lunch and dinner, a kid’s menu and even Southern specialties like their shrimp po’boy and chicken ‘n’ waffles. Must-try dishes include the DTH fish and fries, lobster- and crab-stuffed grilled cheese (an award-winning sandwich!), Captain’s Catch and the Southern-style loco moco (breakfast).
With its fun atmosphere, combined with ‘ono food and drinks, it’s no wonder Down the Hatch has been earning accolades and topping readers’ choice lists. It is regularly recognized as a favorite Maui late- night spot.
