American Restaurants in Hawaii

When Guy Fieri brought his red Camaro to the Hawaiian Islands in 2017 and 2018, he discovered that the Aloha State serves up American comfort food with its own unique island twist. Across three memorable stops spanning from the Big Island to Maui, Triple D showcased kitchens where mainland flavors meet Pacific creativity.

Leading the pack is Rebel Kitchen in Kealakekua, earning an impressive 4.6-star rating for their bold approach to American classics. Over in Kihei, Maui Brick Oven (4.5 stars) proved that wood-fired perfection translates beautifully to island life. These Hawaiian gems, averaging 4.5 stars overall, demonstrated why the 50th state deserves a spot on any food lover’s map.

While the restaurant scene has evolved since filming—with only one of these three establishments still operating today—the episodes remain a testament to Hawaii’s vibrant culinary spirit. From the shores of Kailua-Kona to the slopes of Maui, these American eateries showed that Flavortown has no boundaries, not even an ocean.
