Where Did the Years Go?? Owners Remember the Ups & Downs at Three’s Bar & Grill

February 5, 2020 By Leave a Comment

How can it be??  A decade in business??  We can barely fathom it, but Three’s Bar & Grill has now officially been open for 10 years!!  After launching their catering company, co-owners Jaron Blosser, Travis Morrin and Cody Christopher took over and renovated the former Bada Bing space, welcoming customers to 1945 S. Kīhei Road for the first time on Friday, February 5, 2010.  It’s been an unforgettable journey since that point, and the guys give us a rundown on the big moments of the last 10 years in our retrospective video above.  Naturally, each Three’s owner explains around 3.33 years of their business timeline:  Cody takes us through the first few years, Travis handles the middle, and Jaron outlines more recent times.

So what’s to come in the NEXT ten years?  The guys address that question in our video too, so enjoy watching and come see us anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. to celebrate!!  On our birthday, we’ll also be making a donation to Nabavi Legacy Fund, which supports several local nonprofits.

You can also see the owners’ favorite photos from the last decade, and learn just what they think of each other in our other blogs. Check us out on Facebook and Instagram anytime; thanks for an amazing 10 years, Maui!!

The three of them are excited to share February 5th, 2020 with the community, to mark the big 10th birthday!  Come in and enjoy 25% off breakfast, lunch and dinner (discount excludes happy hour specials) all day and night on Wednesday; Three’s is open from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.  We’ll also be making a donation to Nabavi Legacy Fund, which supports several nonprofits like  Grow Some Good, which encourages kids to create and sustain gardens in schools around the island; Kids & Teens Cook with Heart, teaching students about cooking for a healthy lifestyle; and Maui Food Innovation Center, a UHMC resource for new food entrepreneurs.  

The guys have racked up plenty of memories and classic photos over the years; in our “Three’s Goes Retro” video, they each pick out their favorite and explain why it matters to them and Three’s!  Please join us at 1945 S. Kīhei Road, or if you can’t make it on February 5th, reach out on Facebook and Instagram anytime!!

Three’s Goes Retro!! Three’s Owners Pick their Favorite Old Photos

January 29, 2020 By Leave a Comment

The doors first opened at Three’s Bar & Grill on Friday, February 5, 2010.  Since then, we’ve been racking up the memories along a very eventful journey.  It seems almost unbelievable that nearly 10 years have gone by!!

Together, with a fantastic team, we’ve ridden the waves of ups and downs, including a catering partnership with Pacific Whale Foundation and food truck debut in 2013, a devastating kitchen fire in 2016, and Food Network feature in 2017 that put Three’s in the national spotlight.  

We want to invite the island to join us for this big birthday on Wednesday, February 5th, 2020.  All day and night long, customers will enjoy 25% off the entire menu (excluding happy hour specials) of food and drinks!

We’ll also be doing something special to give back to the community that’s shared so much with us:  Three’s is donating a total of $3,333.33 to the Nabavi Legacy Fund, which supports several fantastic local nonprofits:  Grow Some Good, which encourages kids to create and sustain gardens in schools around the island; Kids & Teens Cook with Heart, teaching students about cooking for a healthy lifestyle; and Maui Food Innovation Center, a UHMC resource for new food entrepreneurs.  

We hope you’ll be part of this special occasion, to celebrate a decade of memories in our island home.  We will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 1945 S. Kīhei Road, so please come enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or our award-winning happy hour!  Or if you can’t make it on February 5th, send us a shout-out on Facebook and Instagram!!  We’d love to learn about your memories of Three’s as we share some of our own in the video above.  Thank you for your support over so many years, and here’s to many more!!

There are a few things we’re especially stoked on these days.  We thought we’d share the list.

Our Brunch.  It’s been such a hit on weekends, we’re EXPANDING it!  Our epic breakfast items, like stuffed french toast, our signature loco moco and six varieties of eggs Benedict, are now available until 2 p.m. EVERY day of the week. Our bar also has some cool options for brunch cocktails if you’re in the mood!!
  4. Our Happy Hour.  Apparently, we’re not the only ones who are stoked on this!  We’re honored to receive Best Happy Hour on Maui (again!!) for 2019 from the readers of Maui Time (oh, and we’re happy to share that our sister restaurant Fork & Salad received Best Lunch on Maui!!).  We have specials on drinks AND food TWO times a day, every day…from 3 to 6 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m.  The drink deals are among the best you’ll find on Maui, and our award-winning appetizers can be enjoyed in our Surf Lounge at awesome prices.

Pacific Whale Foundation + Three’s Catering: A Proud Partnership!

March 10, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Pacific Whale Foundation has existed since 1980.  That’s nearly 40 years of being a voice for the whales through research, conservation and community awareness.  That includes giving the public an incredible opportunity to not only learn about our precious marine life, but also experience it up close, through a range of boat trips.  Their eco-adventures are led by certified Marine Naturalists who provide a truly unique, educational and fun adventure at sea.  Those daily trips, from snorkel excursions to whale watches to dinner cruises, also include fresh, quality food, which Three’s Catering is proud to provide on every single trip, morning to night.  Learn more about what you’ll enjoy in our fun video above.

Our boat catering staff is a personable, professional team of talented chefs.  And it’s a pretty sweet gig to have the amazing ocean, complete with breeching whales and playful dolphins, as your backdrop!!  If you have the dedication and experience to join us, we’ve got some important openings, so check out some of our job listings in this video and apply online here!

Behind the scenes, we share in Pacific Whale Foundation’s passion and mission for marine stewardship and sustainability.  We’re committed to using NO plastic wrap for our boat catering orders, and feature 100% reusable containers, plates and cutlery for all boat trips.  We also proudly switched to paper straws at our Fork & Salad locations in Kīhei and Kahului.

So, go for it:  take to the ocean and enjoy the best of Maui’s abundant marine life, and we’ll be sure to provide you with fantastic food along your voyage!!

Speaking of the holidays, we offer some spectacular specials for Christmas Eve AND Day dinners, like Kona coffee-crusted pork loin with roasted garlic and Parmesan polenta, or try our famous mochiko-marinated seared duck breast with sage bread pudding and cranberry-ginger compote. Either one is an epic deal at $32.95! Not only that, but our ENTIRE regular dinner and sushi/raw bar menu is available all night on December 24 and 25!!

The following week, we offer a great four-course New Year’s Eve prix-fixe menu for just $49!! Menu selections include choice of appetizers: oyster trio, kalua pork quesadilla or coconut shrimp; choice of salad: Caesar or our Kumu Farms organic green salad with passion fruit dressing; and choice of entree: fresh island fish, Hawaiian prime rib, duck breast or pork loin; plus a chef-inspired dessert!!
