16 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Makawao

“The food is okay, although they do have some exceptional ones that are really great. I really enjoyed the hamburger steak/ chicken cutlet combo plate.Parking: The location I went to is in Pukalani, and the parking lot at this strip mall is extremely tight. It's not uncommon for people to not park within the painted stalls. It's just accepted at that particular parking lot due to the extremely tight spacing. Everyone just understands it's necessary.“

“I enjoyed eating here so much. The BBQ is delicious. Everything we had was juicey filled with flavor and was not drenched in sauce to hide the quality of the cuts of meat or the chefs ability to man the grill. The food was so good we drove across the island to have it one more time on our last day in “

“Big red flag outside, caught our eye on the way out to Ulupalakua and stopped on the way back. 1/2 rack (6 bones) BBQ pork ribs, beef brisket with sides of pickles with onions and kimchi cabbage very tasty got our food really quick. It's food truck is tucked away in a little parking lot across the street from La Provonce in “

“Loved our meals from here. The Calamari was huge and the fish dishes were incredible. Also, offer vegan tofu options. It is outside a large food truck garden, but we took our food into the garden to eat, because it was beautiful in there too.“

“I live on Maui and stumbled on this food truck after a basketball game with my kids. Had not read the reviews, so did not know what to expect. What a treat! Just fantastic barbecue!! We ordered the baby back ribs. Best ribs on Maui and best ribs I've had in general in a long time. It's become harder and harder to find good quality food, post Covid and inflation, but this place hit the mark and would recommend it to anyone!“

“Wonderful all the way around and worth every penny. From order to pick up, the experience was easy, clear and professional. We ordered the roast duck, char siu pork, bok choy, noodles and siu mai dumplings. It was all exceptionally delicious! Perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and good portions. This will become a regular for us and we will be back. Highly recommend!“

“This was one of my favorite food trucks on the island. They understand vegan, you can choose your spice style, huge portion, fast service.The price was perfect as well!The pad Thai was the star of the show.Staff was super friendly and helpful.Highly recommend!“

“100% stop here for bbq. Homeboy whipped up a bamboo log of scrumptoulioumus pork, chicken, rice and greens. Definitely a dope experience and I even ate it while sitting in an abandoned bus whilest a sweet cute puppy came up and asked for lovings from us. If you’re going on the road to Hana this is the place to go? make sure you tip them on top of cost, making bbq is not easy work!“

“Food truck vibes from an actual brick and mortar store. Covered patio dining area offeres 4 large picnic tables for ample people watching. Their katsu plate and egg flower soup are fantasticDietary restrictions: Fried rice can be made gluten free and egg flower soup is by definition gluten-free.Parking: The nearby shopping area does offer some parking, but best to park on the street or across the street in the FoodLand parking lot and walk. Hey it's warm and you're on vacation.“

“Kalbi Na BbQ chicken is a must its yummy, especially with kimchee on the side. They are fast takin orders, and maybe the wait to prep is about 15min. Prices are going up. I'm not gonna lie about that, so I think it's time to add extra meat on the plate lunches. This place can get loud, so if you just want peace while eating, it's better to take it home. Definitely would recommend to e everyone so some Korean bbq meals.“

“Almost missed the location but we were happy we made the uturn. Got an order of chicken and an order of ribs. Chicken was great, first time trying huli huli chicken and was impressed with the flavour. Cooking over charcoal hits different and makes the flavour. Ribs were good, not overly seasoned but I like tasting pork.“

“Our meal at King Chinese Barbecue was delightfully delicious, featuring an impressive selection of fried shrimp, fried chicken, short ribs, and grilled salmon. However, our dining experience was marred by several service and cleanliness issues. Unfortunately, we received no offer of water, and the cleanliness of our dining area was below expectations. We encountered ants at our first table, and a closer inspection revealed that the tables were not properly cleaned, with visible grime beneath the clear mats. This lack of attention to cleanliness significantly detracted from our overall experience and was the main reason for not awarding a higher rating.Family would like to grab food and leave next time.“

“Outstanding restaurant that many locals frequent. Owner recognized my accent as a Canadian tourist and we shot the breeze for a few minutes of his busy day. Large portions and good prices make it a hard to pass up. Already tried the location in Kahului, but this same meal better prepared and less salty. Mahalo ??“

“This L&L location also has Chinese food. If you order the Chinese, you receive your food immediately. I ordered a combo plate (Hawaiian) with fried fish, fried shrimp, and BBQ chicken. The service was extremely slow. The food was OK, although the shrimp was overdone. The mac salad was very good. It was in a "food court," which was below average.“

“My wife and I found this place purely by accident. When we walked in we were greeted warmly by the owner and he was very helpful in helping us select what we had for dinner as my wife has some food related health conditions. Food came out relatively quickly after we ordered and everything we ordered was very delicious. The owner of the establishment came around a few times to check up on us and even chat with us. He was very friendly and very helpful. Even gave me a few tips and tricks to take home to try out with own smoker. ?If you're looking for excellent BBQ with friendly staff and a good family friendly atmosphere, this is the place for you.Kid-friendliness: This is a great place to take kids as the owner himself has kids and even said that he wants his place to be a family friendly place.“

“We were in Maui for two weeks and stopped here three times, once for a whole chicken, twice for full slabs of ribs. They were all delicious and tender. Good with sriracha and soy sauce they provide. We like to carry out here and take back to the condo for a tasty and relatively inexpensive meal. Stop here every year.“
