The Castaway Cafe is right on the beach at MKV.
Castaway Cafe, Kaanapali Beach, Maui

Walk to the neighboring hotels for breakfast or lunch.

Fairway Shops (between MKV and Whaler's Village)
CJ's Deli has excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also offer a lunch box in a cooler for your trip to Hana.
There's good Chinese restaurant in the Fairway shops as well.

Whalers Village, Lahaina Maui

It's a short drive or ride on the Kaanapali Trolley to Whaler's Village which has several restaurants: Lelanis, Hula Grill, and the Rusty Harpoon.
Leilani's on the Beach, Lahaina, Maui

Our favorite is Lelanis Beach Grill. It's right on the ocean and offers lighter fare at reasonable prices.
Tip: They usually have music on Friday afternoons.

Lahaina
Front Street in Lahaina is lined with shops and restaurants. Try the pig sandwich at the Hard Rock Cafe. Eat a Cheese Burger in Paradise (great harbor view from the second story). For more upscale fare, try Bubba Gump's Shimp Factory or any of the other fine restaurants. For a taste of old Hawaii, go to the Pioneer Hotel by the docks next to the banyan tree.

Aloha Mixed Plate
Right next to the Old Lahaina Luau (behind the Safeway) is a great place to eat out of doors by the ocean: the Aloha Mixed Plate. Prices are very reasonable and the food is excellent.
Aloha Mixed Plate, Lahaina, Maui

Sansei Sushi: Drive north to Kapalua and turn left toward the Bay Course. You'll pass the golf academy and a little farther along you'll find Sansei, one of the best sushi and Japanese restaurants in the islands. (Since they moved from the Kapalua shops, they've lost some of their Hawaiian attitude and acquired some Manhattan snootyness, but the food is still good.) Try the Spider Roll if you like crab.
Tip: Get in line by 5:15 and order before 6pm to save 25%. Also 50% off from 10pm-1am Thursdays & Fridays.

Mexican: It's a short drive to Lahaina or Napili to pick up burritos, tacos, enchiladas, or rellenos with a Hawaiian flair at Maui Tacos.
Check out the photos of celebrity guests like Sharon Stone and Alice Cooper.

Or for a sit down meal, try Cilantro's in Old Lahaina Center.

Greek: The food court in the Cannery Mall has an inexpensive Greek outlet. Share a Gyros plate, spinakopita and baclava.

Italian:
There's a new Italian place in the Cannery Mall food court.
There's also Basil Tomatoes near the Fairway shops (just south of MKV).

Barbeque
Mama's Ribs 'n Rotisserie in Napili Plaza (in front of the supermarket) has great barbeque and meal deals. A half rack of pork ribs with two sides is only $12. The barbequed pork sandwich with two sides is only $7.

Maalea Harbor has a couple of excellent seafood restaurants or try Beach Bums for barbeque. Visit the Maui Aquarium and then walk to one of these restaurants for lunch or dinner.

Maui Mixed Plate Most of the food courts have a mixed plate: meat or fish with two scoops of rice or macaroni salad.
Beware: Chicken Katsu is just chicken with catsup.

Pizza: By the Star Market two stoplights north of Kai Ala Dr is Pizza Paradiso. Voted Best Pizza on Maui by Maui News Readers and Frommer's Guide.

Napili
The Sea House Restaurant is right by the ocean and has a great sunset to go with your meal. Food is good but pricey.
