    Chicken with rice.  I substitute vegetables for the mac salad.
    Tammy S.

    The food is good. Not the best I have had but it's good and decent. Employees are nice :)

    Super awesome staff! So kind and great when I had questions about the menu. Ramen was great and so was the poke bowls. Will be coming again!

    Three words. Broke Da Mouth. Ono grinds. Good grub! Friendly staff. Small venue. Order from cashier and they bring the food out to you. I loved the island jams they were playing. Made me feel like I was in Hawaii. Definitely check out this spot! Garlic chicken fo sho!

    Love the food here - check out the specials - great central location, awesome staff, nice outdoor patio with tvs - lots of seating and parking is right outside! The food is savory and really good! Plus priced right

    Combo with kalua and garlic chicken
    Jason C.

    Love the food here. I ordered the kalua cabbage and spicy garlic chicken combo. I really love that they substituted steamed veggies instead of rice. The kalua was flavorful and juicy. The smoke wasn't super strong. The garlic chicken wasn't spicy at all but it was tender and crispy on the outside. Over all I thought it was a great value. Food was great and service was excellent.

    Garlic chicken & seared tuna plate
    Caroline L.

    Quick easy lunch or dinner spot bringing the spirit of the aloha state. It's conveniently located near Costco and a ton of stores on St. Rose parkway. They're consistent and quality is always good and fresh with flavorful dishes. We really like the variety of combo plates and the Hawaiian drinks which are so fun to choose from! I discovered a new drink I've never seen before called green tea lychee. I highly recommend the garlic chicken as one of your plate options that's flavorful and downright addictive. Service is friendly and efficient, and even ordering on DoorDash is easy. Overall the authentic flavors in a chill island setting is comforting and relaxing with a sip of Hawaiian Sun. Recommended Food: - Plate - Garlic chicken & seared tuna are my 2 choices that comes with rice and macaroni salad

    Staff are little pushy and seemed rush but I'm sure that's helpful during lunch rush. There is a huge menu and shared space with bowlogy so poke, and açaí options as well as the grill options. I had the bbq salmon and it came with three sides. Huge portions, could've easily shared with someone. Huge Hawaiian canned drink selection as well. The inside is a modern trendy vibe, clean space, with a lot of seating.

    Loco Moco Plate
    Debrah D.

    Visited again on a Sunday night to give it another shot as Josh invited us back to make things right. We decided to dine in and got the chicken katsu, seared ahi tuna plate, tonkatsu ramen and the loco moco along with 5 Hawaiian Sun drinks. My kiddo was bummed as the egg on his loco moco was already cracked. Doesn't matter to me but it may for others as it did for him. Other than that, my kid enjoyed the loco moco and I liked the roasted garlic garnish. My partner said his ahi tuna steak was stringy and didn't enjoy it. I thought it was alright and quite enjoyed the tangy flavored mustard dip. The rice was dry but not hard like last time. The tonkatsu ramen was flavorful and they give a good amount of chasu but the meat was tougher than I like. My other kiddo finally got to enjoy the chicken katsu and said it was good but thought the katsu sauce was ketchup. Our free entrees that Josh comped us were the chicken katsu and loco moco. Thanks for making it right, Josh! The dining room was clean and the two servers were friendly. We noticed that most parties coming in were getting açaí bowls. Maybe we'll stick to the chicken katsu, loco moco and try açaí bowls next time.

    BBQ Chicken, kalua pork, etc...
    Islander GirLE L.

    The flavor has been consistent across my last few visits. I still find their BBQ chicken overly marinated. If it weren't the only thing my son eats here, I wouldn't order it. However, the Spicy Garlic Chicken is good. I wish it were spicier, but I understand why they keep it as it is. The service is okay. I'm not exaggerating when I say all the tables were dirty during this visit, even though it wasn't busy. Honestly, every time we've come in when it's slow, multiple tables have been dirty.

    Garlic Chicken Plate
    Walter H.

    Second visit to the 9th Island Grill, and we were much happier than our first visit! Still got carry out food, but much happier with the choices and results! The staff continues to be amazing - friendly and helpful! This time we tried the Garlic chicken plate - crispy and very tasty. The garlic sauce can be a little sweet for our taste, but the chicken itself was great; and the extra crispy chicken skin makes this dish! Also got the Loco Moco - the eggs don't travel great all the way home, but the dish is very tasty and serving size is huge! Lastly we tried the Tonkatau Ramen - this was good even taking it home! Definitely have more dishes we want to try, but the service and food we reckon this trip makes us want to go back soon!

    Poke nachos
    Shandi C.

    Easy to order and everyone was pleasant. I got the poke nachos and it was good but a bit salty with the poke. My friends go the spicy fried chicken and bbq beef plate. Chicken wasn't spicy, more on the sweet side. Beef was really good and recommend it!

Even though we are locals, we have never been. We came here on a Monday evening. It was decently crowded. Just a note, the restaurant does close pretty early at 7 PM on weekdays.

Don't be put off by the looks of the location. The site is in a kind of rundown strip mall-ish center with plenty of parking. Inside you order at the counter and food is brought to your table. Even with a line, service is friendly and wait times are pretty minimal. Their menu has a little of everything from beef ribs, brisket and sausage links to okra, corn nuggets and slaw. Seating is first come first serve and they have e quite a large dining area with plenty of tables with bench seats. Next to the soda machine are an abundance of different sauces that will appeal to even the pickiest of bbq eaters. For lunch we chose the 3 meat trio. We chose sliced brisket (it comes chopped if you don't specify) 1/4 dark meat chicken and hot links. For the included side, we chose the dirty rice. We added an extra 1/4 dark meat chicken and a side of cheesy mac and cheese. Wife and I split the brisket and hot links and we will usually have leftovers as they are generous with their portions. All the barbecue has rich and Smokey flavor. The brisket was tender and had a hive visible smoke ring around the edge. The links have nice heat that is not overpowering. The dark meat chicken is also tender and juicy. When you peel the skin back the meat underneath is glistening. Both the rice and macaroni complimented our protein selections. If I have one knock, the sides were merely warm and not hot. I think this as due to the volume of people there for lunch today. For sauce I chose their original and sweet mama varieties. They are very tasty and full of southern bbq influence. All-in-all, this is a great BBQ spot and centrally located for visitors to the Strip.

As someone who grew up in the South, and doesn't necessarily eat too much of this cuisine anymore, I was really impressed with their biscuits. Fluffy on the inside, flaky on the outside. Their variety of jams and butters made it fun for trying new flavors. Really good stuff! I'm a sucker for brisket and had to order the brisket plate. It comes with two side so I opted for mac & cheese and baked beans. The brisket was tender and flavorful. Both sides were solid, as well. It's a huge portion of food! I had their house old fashioned, which they happen to have on tap. They're a bourbon joint after all! This was priced great at $12, just too sweet for my personal taste. If you want some Southern cooking, I'd definitely recommend paying them a visit. Wear your stretchy pants!!!

The gumbo was flavorful and had actual meat (I included picture). My family is from Kentucky and Mississippi. The gumbo isn't Deep South gumbo but it definitely hits the spot. I also got a peach tea arnold palmer. DELICIOUS. I got it with the unsweet tea. My table also tried the devil'd eggs and brisket mac. Everything was yummy and made well. The food came out fast. From the start I was genuinely impressed by their menu. Lucille's location at the district has been around since I can remember and I'm born and raised.

Usually I'm hit with fatigue after I eat, especially at a restaurant. The retro style lay out was a great mid day setting and wasn't over stimulating for me. I have grown to be more sensitive if my environments since being pregnant. My waiter was alfanzo and added to the warmth and hospitality of the restaurant. You can tell he really cared. The experience I had there genuinely impressed me. So much so, I had to download this app and leave a review.

Lots of cool artwork on the walls, a very wood-based environment, has a country charm to it with a modern upscale feel. We went there for appetizers as we were on a time crunch, so we ordered the blueberry chicken sliders, the corn ribs, and the blueberry chicken wings. I had heard about these for the longest time, and everyone said they were amazing. Well I'm here to tell you that they 100% are! The corn ribs were wonderful with the cilantro dipping sauce. The only thing that would have made them better is if they would have put some Jalisco cheese on it and made it a little more like street corn. But hey who am I to complain about these corn ribs? I ate them all. The blueberry chicken sliders were absolutely off the charts! I had heard about these several times. People saying things like they are the absolute best to your taste. Buds will be stunned for days. Well, they weren't wrong, these sliders were absolutely wonderful. And we cannot forget the blueberry smoked chicken wings. These things were so well cooked and the seasoning was perfect and the blueberry softs on top took it to a whole other dimension. I would eat probably three or four more plates of these. I'm looking forward to going back there for dinner, as they had plenty of options on the menu. Such as brisket, ribs and so forth. Definitely going back for round two. Bottom line? You cannot go wrong with this place. Do yourself a favor, take some friends, and get all of the aforementioned appetizers. Your taste buds will. Thank you!
