After becoming a Shore staple over the past decade, Maui's is now aiming for a decidedly non-BENNY audience (except “The Jet” Rodriguez, he’s cool) with a Bellevue spot that’s happy to serve you dog bowl-plated (yep) veal or pork/veal/beef "German" franks, killer toppings, burgers, and some crazy "Salty Balls", of which your mom has had her share -- yeah that’s right: your mother’s consumed sea-salted brined potatoes served with drawn butter. What you gonna do?!

Intimidatingly large tube steaks include the Cardiac (w/ bacon & "globs and globs" of Wisconsin cheddar), the Soprano (garlic & white wine-sauteed spinach w/ provolone), and a multitude of horseradish mustard-coated "Horse" dogs, like the chili-topped Dressed Horse, and the bacon & beer-kraut Drunk Smokin' Horse, giving you an option no matter what you're jonesing for, smarty.

Beyond dogs’re hot Italian sausages with similarly blown-out toppings, hand-battered chicken cutlet sandos like the green pepper/provolone Kailani, and double-stacked Black Angus burgers covered in American or Whiz, including the hot pepper/bacon Jimbo and the horsey mayo'd Mac Daddy, after which you should probably wait 30-45mins before Jump! Jump!-ing.

Because most good doctors now recommend a 50,000-calorie diet, Maui's is also slinging potent tater sides like five-spiced "Hawaii 5-0" fries, the aforementioned Salty Balls, and cheese fries with Jamaican jerk, which your mom knows plenty about -- because she just spent seven fabulous days enjoying the local cuisine in Montego Bay!!
