At Betty’s Beach Cafe, you can relax while enjoying your food. The atmosphere is not pretentious and you can take in gorgeous views of the beach while eating your meal in the open air. In addition, if you come at the right time, you can catch the sounds of the luau next door. Also, watch for wildlife. You may see monk seals, or other creatures splashing around in the ocean.
Betty’s Beach Cafe is a bit out of the way, south of the main Front Street establishments in Lahaina. It may be a short walk, but this means that it’s not as busy as most of the restaurants in the main area. It’s a great stop before or after a boat tour or other adventure out on the water.
Betty’s has both a brunch/lunch and dinner menu. There are many great selections on each one, with plenty of variety. You should be able to find something for everyone in your group. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. Come hungry, or take some food back for leftovers. If you would like, takeout is also available and you can order online.
Come for a meal or just stop at the bar to socialize with friends. With the laid-back atmosphere and gorgeous ocean views, anything goes.
