About Us

Joel's | Plate Lunch and Burgers — photo 1

A 4.8-star reputation carries weight here. Joel's | Plate Lunch and Burgers serves the kind of lunch people remember after the drive fades, the kind built on care, timing, and a room that feels unforced.

The name says exactly what it is, burgers and plate lunches, served with a calm confidence that suits Hana. At 5420 Hana Hwy, the pace stays unhurried, the flavors land cleanly, and the setting feels like a brief pause with purpose.

Reviews point to food that leaves an impression and service that meets the moment. That is the appeal, simple and sincere, with enough polish to feel curated and enough warmth to feel local.

What We Offer

The menu focuses on two comforts that travel well in memory, plate lunches and burgers. It is the sort of stop that works for a midday break, a casual meal, or a quiet reset before the road continues.

Each order is shaped for easy satisfaction, straightforward, generous, and built around familiar favorites. The result feels steady rather than flashy, which is often exactly what Hana asks for.

With open hours six days a week and a Saturday closure, the rhythm is clear. Come by during the day, settle in, and let the kitchen do what it does best, serve a meal with confidence.

Why Choose Us

A focused menu keeps the experience simple, fast, and satisfying.

Open six days a week, with Sunday through Friday lunch service from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

A Hana Hwy address makes it a natural stop on the road through East Maui.

“Really delicious food. My burger was fantastic and the fries were some of the best I've had -- perfect crispiness on the exterior and a soft fluffy interior.”

"Best teriyaki beef plate we had on Maui, hands down (and we tried a lot). All the way in Hana but so worth the drive. Beef was tender, flavorful, and just perfect. Met Joel and he was seriously the nicest, most humble guy. His dad owns the food truck and was there cooking too, which made it even more special. Great music, great vibes, great people. Will 100% be back next time 🌴 thanks Joel!!"

"The food was outstanding and the service was great! I had the Maui Shrimp and Pineapple and it was perfect! I grew up eating shrimp and the shrimp they served was moist and it wasn't overcooked. Nicely done! My wife had Garlic Shrimp with Teriyaki Beef and she said her meal was tasty. The servings were generous and we didn't leave hungry. The guys noticed us enjoying the music as we were eating their amazing food, and turned the music up so we could hear it more clearly! I can't say enough good things about the food and service. Thank you guys for staying late for us! Next time you're in Hana, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. Henry and Amy"
