Good food & great unique options. So why 2-stars & I am not interested? Restaurant cooking spray - I don't like it in my food in general and I especially don't like it over-used to where I can taste it instead of my amazing egg omelette. It really ruins the experience (not to mention I'm doubtful it's good to ingest in quantity.) This is a BIG pet-peeve & a No-Return for me.✌️

Let me start by letting you know that you will have a wait a very long time to get seated and that choice will have to be made by you. If you don't want to wait long order take out and eat your food at a beach somewhere. Restaurant only has 7 to 8 tables at a time. It's small but the food is good and relatively cheaper than anywhere else in the island. We arrived at 7:45am knowing we would have to wait sometime. We got seated at 8:30am. We ordered food right away since we had time to take a look at the menu. Food arrived at 9:30am. We were done eating by 10:00am. You have to keep in mind that this is a privately owned establishment with minimal staff and seating which will lead to longer wait times. Parking. Before I headed out I noted some reviews stating people getting cited for parking violations. I played it safe and moved the rental car from spot to spot but I didn't see any parking police activity while I was there. I also saw people parking where it clearly said not to park and nothing happened to them. If I were you park where it clearly says 1 hour parking and move your car around. Option 2 would be find paid parking on front street if you want peace of mind. The food was great! I've never had anything like the breakfast burrito which isn't like your tradition burrito. It doesn't have a tortilla instead it's an egg blanket on top of rice topped with a special sauce that apparently you can get on the side if you ask. Macadamia pancakes were great as well. The macadamia glaze also had a very distinctive taste which followed me back home. I went to various breakfast spots on the island and without a doubt 808 was the one that left the biggest impression. TLDR: Long wait to be seated. Order to go instead. Order breakfast burrito sauce on the side. Try macadamia pancakes. Park in 1 hour parking and hop around.

808 Grindz is one of the BEST restaurants to go to for breakfast (and I love breakfast!). Word of advice, get there early! The line forms well over 30 minutes prior to opening. Also, make sure you sign in when you get there to hold your place in line! The restaurant is comfy and cozy once you are seated, and the service is unbeatable. Also, we found out that you can order their mac-nilla sauce to take home but they need to know at least a day or so in advance. Thank you 808 Grindz Team! We can't wait to visit you again on our next trip to Maui!
