    Brisket smoked w/ Kiawe wood.... THE bite of Maui BBQ that your soul needs
    Samuel Edison L.

    Amazing service, perfects smells, & great vibes comin from the truck. 11/10 will come again. Kiawe smoked brisket & chicken plate = heaven. All the meats are moist, flavorful, and melt in your mouth. Big love for their sides too... pickles, sauce, cornbread, baked beans, and Kiawe smoked mashed potatoes held it down as the best pairings for the meats. Shoutout Dope BBQ for blessing the Lowe's lot!

    Had the pleasure of experiencing this food truck through an event. Had pork belly, brisket, beans and cornbread. So good! I love some good bbq. Service was pretty fast. Definitely check them out!

    Huge bbq brisket sandwich
    Sunny J.

    OMG! Bbq brisket sandwich was perfect.....juicy, smoky, delicious and a huge portion. This guy knows bbq! Makes homemade lemonade- and has Arnold Palmers! In parking lot of Lowe's, at the garden end. Try it......you will become a fan!

    a food truck with menus on the side

    Weird location. Had one truck right off the road, but they were in the middle of this open field so nobody was there...that just made it that much more enticing to us. Hubs got the combo and I got the cuban with the bbq mustard on the side. I don't like bbq sauce but it really needed some sauce. The meat was super soft and smokey, but didn't have much saltiness to it otherwise. Maybe if a few more pickles, woulda been perf. But buggah was big. I ate half and had major kanak attack. Ate the other half over 2 more meals. As I got older, I thought I didn't like banana chips (were they really plantains?). I guess I was wrong cuz I loved them. Nice and crisp and stayed that way for 2 more days! Just added salt and delish. Hubs meal had chicken...he said some of the best chicken he's had. Musta been pretty awesome since he's usually a meat guy. But he did like everything. Also came with corn, slaw and a cute cornbread. He was pretty happy...leftovers made breakfast and a small snack. Lotsa other things on the menu that sounded good too... Brisket Grilled Cheese is gonna get cracks next time I go...

    Smoked Prime Rib with creamy horseradish sauce, mac  & cheese, smashed potatoes and cornbread with jalapenos
    Bethani E.

    Their name says it all. The BBQ is dope. What sets their BBQ apart is the smokiness to everything. I have been a fan for awhile and have been able to catch them at Sunday Night Marketplace, Kihei 4th Friday and at Queen K. My tried, true and regular menu items- BBQ chicken, pulled pork and chicken burrito. All meats are juicy, tender and flavorful. Sides are pretty tasty. I usually stick with smashed potatoes, mac and cheese and occasionally will get their beans or collared greens. The burrito is average size but is loaded with deliciousness in a spinach tortilla. Their BBQ sauce is amazing. I sometimes request for a second container of BBQ sauce to ensure all meats are drenched equally. If you can't decide, request to comb a couple different items for a few extra dollars. Be sure to order a lemonade, sweet tea or Arnold Palmer to go with your meal. Freshness of that hand squeezed lemon. Lately, I've been ordering their special the last few visit to the truck. I've really enjoyed the smoked prime rib and NY steak. These plates cost a little more than their average meals, but I can't get over the smoky flavor that's unexpected. They smoke the meat and sear it to lock in the flavor. It's served with a creamy horseradish sauce. My sides have been smashed potatoes, mac and cheese and the jalapeno corn muffin. Hopefully one or both of these items become a regular menu item. Definitely want to give these guys credit where credit is due.

    I've been eyeing Dope BBQ before they were even here on Maui. I somehow caught wind of them while they were in the process of moving their business here from Portland, Oregon. I noticed them parked at the 76 Gas Station a couple months back, their normal spot, but I couldn't figure out where to park in that teeny space. Fast forward to last week, I was finally able to get a little taste of their BBQ at the Maui Sunday Market. As we perused through their menu offerings, the owner offered us a sample of their BBQ pork belly. It was very tender and seasoned well. He noted that he makes his own rubs & does everything himself which I think is really key to doing real BBQ right. I really wanted to try the BBQ sampler and get a taste of all the things, but I didn't want to fill myself up on one food truck that night 'cause I pretty much wanted to try everything at the event. Haha. So we opted for the pork belly sliders and indulged my current lemonade addiction with some fresh pressed lemonade. The sliders came on a sweet bun and it was pretty good! Great flavor on the meat, but I think I needed just a little more meat to balance out the bread. The lemonade was really, really good though! Mmmmmm... so fresh. We'll need to try the sampler the next time around to really get a taste of the BBQ since they were sold out of a few items, one of which was what I wanted to try -- the pulled pork. Will try again next time.

    The corn bowl is soooo good. I wish I bought thirds for my fiancé and I to share. The brisket was great as well.

    We have been on the Island for a week and found this place yesterday by Costco. We had the Bulgogi…read moreand it was the best thing we have eaten on the island, hands down. Get the drinks there too, they are new, but amazing. The Tea was the bomb!

    I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did…read morenot realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.
