Charley’s Restaurant Paia
Charley’s is a well-known, longstanding, casual restaurant in Paia, a small town on the north side of east Maui. It’s at 142 Hana Highway near Baldwin. Phone 808-579-9453.
Charley’s is famous for breakfasts, but it’s also crowded at lunch and dinner, so you can expect a wait for a table almost any time. You have to deal with the traffic getting into Paia from central Maui, and sometimes its hard to find a place to park. But both locals and tourists keep coming back. There’s live music many evenings. Charley’s is named after the original owner’s Great Dane. See below for some specific Charley’s menu items as well as photos.
If you want to escape from the tourist areas near the resorts, or if you’re looking for a good meal not too far from the airport, or on your way to or from Hana, check out Charley’s restaurant in Paia.

I am Jon and I love Maui. Writing about Maui has been my hobby for the past 30 years. This website is my effort to help you, whether a first-timer or repeat visitor, to have the best possible experience during your visit to Maui. The info here is based on my own research and experiences. I am not a travel agent and I don't sell anything, so my reports are unbiased. I have visited each of the hotels, condos, and sights, have eaten at all of the reviewed restaurants, and took almost all of the photos.
