Before we headed up to the road to Hana we stopped of at Charley’s, in Paia, and it turned out to be a great idea. The portions are a good size for the prices. The pancakes are incredible, I had the macadamia one, plan on sharing though because there huge. That Moco Loco was ridiculously delicious and the build yourself omelette rocked. Plan on stopping by and treating yourself, family and friends to and amazing meal.

Great little place full of awesome art and memorabilia from Willie Nelson and friends! Breakfast was nice and the prices are fair. Decent portion sizes made it easy for us to manage the Road to Hana without having to stop for snacks along the way. Server was super nice and went out of her way to be kind to my friend’s 81 yr old mamma and make her feel welcome.

I stopped here for breakfast before hitting the road to Hana. Charley’s was really unique and I enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. I ordered Charley’s World Famous Pancake and wow, it was not what I expected. The pancake was HUGE and it was sooooo good. No lie, probably the best pancake I’ve ever had lol. There’s lots of interesting art around the restaurant and even a giant replica of Willie Nelson’s guitar, so that’s a plus. If I were to do the Road to Hana one more time, I’d definitely stop here for breakfast again. Highly recommend

We had the Fish and Chips and the BBQ Cheesesteak and both were really good. Cool vibe and not super crowded during the lunch hour. We’re from Austin and huge Willie fans!

Really cool place, food was mediocre at best. Was there early in the day so I didn’t get the real vibe. I’m sure it’s a great place for live music. I’d go back for an evening. But if you’re looking for a meal there are plenty of other places to go.

Charley’s ROCKS! Outstanding service, fresh and delicious food, great ambiance! In Maui for a few weeks of September to get married, we spent a four day weekend in Pa’ia and ate at Charley’s every day… sometimes twice. Not for lack of other places to eat in the area (*ahem* don’t really wanna dig on the competition but….) Anyway! We did the road to Hana a week later, and yup, we just had to randomly stop at Charley’s for breakfast, this time with a party of 12! They handled us with such ease and grace, every, single, time. We basically tried everything on the menu … original party of 2 went to 4 went to 6 then 8 and well, just trust me on this one… everything we all collectively ate over the course of those five days was surprisingly great, even in rush hour crowds! And absolutely reasonably priced – you’re in Maui – don’t fret over a bit more than you’re used to, just be happy to support the local economy. Can’t go wrong here, Charley’s will be our first stop next time we visit!

What a fantastic place to stop. Owned by Willie Nelson and has some of his memorabilia hanging on the walls along with some cool paintings of him and other celebrities who have visited. I chose the banana bread French Toast with coconut syrup. Ok. Can we talk?! Lol. That has to be the best French Toast I have ever had. This is a must stop place before heading on the road to Hana.

Aloha! My first visit, a breakfast 14 October, 2017. One of several eateries to choose from in this small town off the main “highway.”. Not busy and service was friendly (Ann) and coffee filled regularly which I like. The coffee however, I found “thin” (weak) as I like a strong bodied medium or dark roast. I was told that this was a local roaster. Disappointed. Menu of average length and breadth. Customized their 3 egg omolette with their potatoes with Rosemary and sourdough (not eaten.). The omelette was very good and I usually do not eat many of the potatoes, but very much enjoyed this crispy treats. The decor is nice enough especially if you appreciate the country western themes. Enjoy, Aloha and Mahalo! This restaurant could gain a 4.1-4.2 stars if fthe coffee was better.

The breakfast food was very good, but it seemed a little dirty – like our table and def the bathroom. Also, it kinda smelt weird, but our waitress was very friendly and the food came out fast.

Stopped in here after the LONG road to Hana and back, Charley’s was an amazing stop for some delicious drinks and satisfying food. We tried the Mai Tai and Lilikoi Mojito, both were fantasic. Fries were crispy, ribs and wings were flavorful. The ahi poke was a little salty and could use a hit of citrus, but the fish itself was fresh and tasty. Warm and attentive service! This place is worth another visit. 🙂
