Taste some of the best on the menu Stewz Burgers offers:
Kihei Burger
If your cravings lean toward barbecue, try the Kihei burger. This specialty sandwich includes bacon, cheddar cheese, onion rings, and barbecue sauce on a 6-ounce grass-fed burger patty. It perfectly combines sweet and savory for a filling burger to satisfy for lunch or dinner.
Kula Burger
The Kula burger spices up the grass-fed beef burger base. You get avocado, red onions, roasted poblano peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, and a house chipotle lime aioli. If you think the Kula burger has a lot of toppings, you’re right. It was named the “Most Over the Top Burger” in Hawaii by Delish.com. Bring your appetite if you order this one.
Springs
The sweet potato fries and onion rings both come highly recommended. However, if you cannot decide between these two sides, know that you don’t have to when you order Springs. This side dish consists of half onion rings and half sweet potato fries. You get to sample both with your burger, making this a great choice when you can’t decide or want to share your side.
Lahaina
Not a burger but a mahi-mahi sandwich that is as hearty as any burger on the menu. The sandwich comes with a grilled mahi-mahi fillet, tomato, greens, and lemon dill caper aioli made in-house. As with the rest of the sandwiches and burgers, the Lahaina starts with fresh, not frozen meat, in this case, fish. Since the sandwich is prepared fresh, you can opt to adjust the toppings. However, many diners who in other places request more flavor additions to their mahi-mahi sandwiches find the balance of flavors perfect on the Lahaina at Stewz.
Make Stewz Burgers your go-to spot on Maui for tasty burgers and cold drinks whenever the cravings strike.
