Cool Cat Cafe

Lahaina


It’s a hunka-hunka burger love at this lively 2nd-floor doo-wop diner, where most of the burgers, sandwiches and salads are named for 1950s icons, honoring the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Chubby Checker and, of course, Elvis Presley. The burgers get rave reviews. The view from the large open terrace overlooking Banyan Tree Park isn’t bad either.
