Mama's Ribs When I was getting ready to write this article, the staff members in my office started rebelling. I heard things like "what exactly do you think you're doing James?" and "do you know what will happen if you write that?" They all got scared that once I tell the visitors, there will be a line at Mama's for a mile! But I told them, "Nah, people hardly ever read my articles," which is probably true. So here's the scoop. There's a small place tucked away in a little shopping center in the town of Napili (about 10 minutes north of Lahaina), that has, hands down, the best BBQ food in West Maui. It's a standard three times a week for me, and when you say the name of this place, everyone gets that same look on their face, like "Ohhh, I love their food." The chicken, ribs, and other delicacies are so delicious that I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Their food literally just melts off the bone. It's 100% addictive, so watch out. But you don't have to believe me – check 'em out and see for yourself. I suggest ordering ahead so you can come in and grab it without waiting. Definitely visit Mama's you'll be glad you did!
