Top Chef finalist Sheldon Simeon’s Tin Roof is an updated take on the traditional Hawaiian lunch counter serving up Hawaiian comfort food with a little more culinary flair than usual.

Just minutes from the airport, make this your first stop on Maui. I highly recommend the chopped steak with garlic noodles, but you really can’t go wrong with anything and I’m still working my way through the menu. 

Place your order online and it’ll be ready to pick up when you arrive. There’s no seating here so either grab it on your way to check in or inhale it in the car like I do ; ) Or if you’re not coming or going from the airport, take it to eat at nearby Kanaha Beach Park.
