As we were driving around looking for a place eat dinner, we decided to try Easy 'Que. It was a good choice. The sticky ribs, St. Louis ribs, baked beans and mac & cheese were delicious! The lilikoi tea was a bit on the tart side. Though busy at 5 pm on a Saturday, we were seated right away since there was just two of us. It was noisy due to the loud chatter from other diners and the traffic from the main road due to an open garage door in the dining area. We'll probably be back the next time we're in the area. My husband enjoyed the cute, young waitresses especially the one with the tight shorts! LOL read more

First time here i was intending to order from the breakfast brunch menu. Instead I decided to try the Brisket plate. It did not disappoint. Comes with 2 sides and a starch. As sides, I chose brussel sprouts and cucumber kim chee. My starch was grilled corn bread with butter on the side. Everything was delicious. Service was great. Food delivered to our table timely, and they did not rush us out. Parking in the back was very convenient. Will go back and possibly try an item from the brunch menu as all the plates that went by looked delicious. read more

The food was delicious. Had the two meat platter which comes with two sides and a choice of bread. Took the brisket and the Kailua pig as meat. Sides I took the Brussels and mac and cheese with a grilled cornbread. The meat was so soft and tender. It didn't feel reallly fatty either. It had the perfect amount of fat to make sure that it would be moist. I honestly didn't need a sauce but Ioved the crack seed BBQ sauce. The Brussels were charred and perfectly seasoned. There were sunflower seeds mixed in. The Mac and cheese was a little too heavy for me. Just one bite and I think I had enough. Didn't want to fill up on the mac and cheese. The homemade cornbread was really good with the honey butter. It was a fairly generous amount of food. I had to take the extra leftovers home read more

Amazing food, nice they had a veggie option. I had the curry cauliflower plate with Brussels sprouts, tater tots and cornbread which was amazing and full of flavor! We came with family and everyone had something to enjoy, most of them got the brisket and pork belly and loved it! The banana pudding dessert was a nice surprise finish. The service was amazing with a super friendly staff...true aloha. Andrea and her team were very attentive and helpful to our party. We loved it and will definitely come back to support this local family restaurant again! read more

YUM. I was craving brisket for a very long time and I finally got it. The food here is great. I love putting the brisket inside the Hawaiian bread roll with the bbq sauce. The only thing that was missing, was the pickles and onions that I request extra of, but ended up getting none of it. I was very bummed, especially since we did take out so it's not like we were gonna drive all the way back to Kailua for it. Anyway food is great, the brisket melts in your mouth! The sides are crazy good too. My daughter loved the Mac & cheese, and tbh, that's the only Mac and cheese that I like. We got the 4 person meal, & it was enough for my husband & I plus our two kids. Price is high, but that's kind of expected because the quality is good. I can't wait to take a drive here again soon! read more

Finally visited Easy 'Que in Kailua, owned by the same people that make the BEST food at Over Easy just a street over! Easy 'Que features a selection of impressive texas bbq and sandwiches, and everything we had was so delicious. We got the Two choice plate with pork belly & brisket, brisket ends (special, they only make a few a day so ask for it asap!), chicken sandwich and their ribs. The ribs were a thai sticky flavor when we visited which we really loved - the flavor was really strong and went well with the crispy ribs. the brisket and pork belly were both delicious. the brisket was just a little bit dry but flavor was great, and the pork belly was a little softer than i was hoping for, but again, can't complain because the flavors were so on point and practically ooooozing! the brisket ends were PHENOMENAL. i would've ordered twenty if i could haha they're on the salty side so i loved eating it with the cornbread. You can request honey butter and butter pickles on the side. The service is great and there's lots of seating inside and outside. read more

Good comfort bbq. We got take out and employee was engaging, friendly and fast. We will return

This place was worth the stop! The service was great Ehryn was very attentive and recommended great choices! The cheesy corn was great! But the brisket is the star here. Hats off to the chef. The vibe in the restaurant was very upbeat also. Do yourself a favor and stop in! read more

Delicious! Ate here for my birthday and everything was incredible. They even surprised me with a snack. 10/10 read more

Easy ‘Que - Barbeque Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Easy Que is your Kailua option for BBQ, though not the traditional kind as their food incorporates a local twist. Think kalua pork for pulled pork and crack seed BBQ sauce. The meat I enjoyed the most was the pork belly for its juiciness, but it was also very fatty. The brisket was dry. The ribs were tender and still had a chew. The last time we picked up food they added a $2 surcharge for making a takeout order. I'm guessing the cashier was new, since when we asked how many bones was in a full rack, the cashier told us "it's a pound". And when we asked again, had to ask someone else how many bones there are. We ordered a full rack of ribs, but when it came time to pay, was told they ran out of full racks so we were charged for two half racks instead. Overall, if you are craving meat, make your way over to Easy Que. They do get busy, so order before you drive down. read more

How the mighty have fallen... Easy 'Que used to be a TOP 3 food spot in all of Oahu for my wife and I! A true 'hidden gem' on the island's East Shore that brought some of the best brisket we've ever had. A stop at Easy 'Que was a MUST. Last week we arrived starving after a morning of snorkeling in Hanauma Bay. Parking is always tough in the back of Easy 'Que, but never a deal breaker. My wife and I walked in excited! After all, Easy 'Que was one of our favorites! However, the vibe seemed off the second we stepped inside. The friendliness and 'Aloha Spirit' we had loved about this place was absent. It was a completely different restaurant than we'd remembered. Our hostess had a poor attitude which immediately rubbed us the wrong way. You could tell she didn't want to be there. We wanted to eat outside (who wouldn't, you're in Hawaii?), but she seemed bothered by the fact that she'd have to lower the shade curtains so we could do so. We sat outside waiting for her to lower the curtains but after some time we moved relocated ourselves because the sun was in our eyes. Mind you, neither my wife nor I are 'Karens' by any means! We don't expect much from restaurant staff and we get they're overworked and underpaid (business owners- stop being cheap and pay your people better). But there's no need to be passive aggressive to customers who wish to dine in 'good faith!' (And are excited to eat there!) My wife and I ordered their brisket meal to split. For sides we chose mac n' cheese, Brussels sprouts, and 'potato mac.' The food arrived EXTREMELY quickly, suspiciously so... like "fast food" level quick. For some reason Easy 'Que doesn't bring food on trays like they used to either. They arrive on small plates that spin, making the food difficult to share. To our dismay, the brisket was VERY dry! As if it had been sitting out some time. My wife and I cook a good amount of brisket at home and can tell when it's not fresh. Easy 'Que's brisket definitely was questionable. Our sides were fine, but you don't go to a BBQ joint expecting the sides to outshine the meat(s). We ate our mediocre food quickly to "get it over with" and dipped. The whole experience was a bummer and my wife and I left very disappointed. We've hyped up Easy 'Que to our friends and family for years! And when you're on vacation with limited time you have to choose your restaurants carefully. We were incredibly confident that Easy 'Que would be one of the best meals of the trip, as it had been the previous times we had visited. Unfortunately, this was not the case. It's a real let down and I hope they can turn it around. read more

Easy 'Que and their partner restaurant Over Easy are my go-to spots in Kailua for consistent high quality comfort food and friendly service. Bonus points for being dog friendly the restaurant itself is cutely decorated and fairly small, but also has outdoor seating which is nice in the evenings. My main struggle with most Kailua restaurants is parking. Luckily, they do have a small lot in the back, but if full, you have to test your luck with street parking. The food itself is truly craveable! I find myself dreaming of the Mac and cheese and fried chicken sandwich. The Brussel sprouts and homemade cornbread are also top tier. The drinks are decent, but a little pricey; the food is definitely the star of the show for me. So if you're looking for delicious comfort food for the whole family, this is the place! read more

Tasty food every time. Nice location and dog friendly! Location is at a busy intersection and parking can be difficult.

One of the best places on the island. Wait service is personable and the food is delicious.

Food is delicious. I've come here multiple times and it's always so good. The service is great and a cute atmosphere with indoor/outdoor seating. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts, pork belly and brisket! read more

I went with friends and we split brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and whole bunch of sides. BBQ can vary in quality from mediocre to melt in your mouth -- this is definitely the latter. The brisket was so tender and had a nice smoke ring on it. For me, this is the quintessential BBQ offering and Easy 'Que does an amazing job! The sides were all fantastic and the atmosphere was great. My favorite was the brussel sprouts. The corn bread was simple, but delicious. The sauces were all tasty, but I'm a sucker for the vinegar based sauces. Thanks for a great dinner! I'll keep this on my short list of places to eat when I return! read more

This is hands down the best bbq I have ever had. The 3 little pigs sandwich was amazing, Brussels sprouts amazing. Pork belly amazing, brisket amazing, cornbread amazing, baked beans amazing. Since there is only one and it is family owned , make it part of your bucket list when visiting Oahu! We can not forget the service. The people assisting us were down to earth, friendly and fun. My husband and I stated it was the best meal of the year. read more

Food is tasty , price is reasonable also the atmosphere is cozy . Went back for multiple times already.

Man, let me tell u bruddah... short version: This place is AMAZING! We've had 'que at a few top 20 bbq places (BBQ times ranking) and this place is absolutely on dat level! I'll flesh this out more later, but it's blatantly obvious these people enjoy and care about their 'que. Great service, clean and comfy location with indoor/outdoor seating options. read more

Ono bbq spot...first time trying it and will be back again..I recommend making a reservation or go early. It was busy....

We always enjoy eating here. The service is great and the friendly staff love having our Golden Retriever outside with us! Food is consistently good quality. They have 3 different BBQ sauces to choose from. The standard sauce is awesome! The tater tots, mac and cheese, and cornbread are great sides for the tender brisket! It's a little noisy outdoors sometimes but the friendly staff more than make up for that. The cocktails here are great too. We especially love their slushy drinks. It's a fun place to eat in Kailua! read more

I've been meaning to try this BBQ place for years! I wish I had tried it sooner! It is delicious. I had the brisket & chicken plate, and sides of potato salad and brussels sprouts. I chose the grilled cornbread as my bread side. Omg- so so good! All of it. They had a special that day of Thai ribs... and my friend ordered those and she said they were amazing. It looked and smelled so good. I can't eat pork l, so I didn't try it, but from the way they described it and the way it smelled. I wish I did. The server said she actually comes just for that dish when they have it. Honestly, all the sides are really good too, especially the brussels sprouts. I mean, how often does a barbecue place have a healthy side??? So put your guilt to rest from eating barbecue and order a side of brussel sprouts, your mouth and your body will thank you! The server was super friendly, the service was really fast! I will definitely be going back. I could see this being a good place to go for dinner or your lunch break. Heads up, they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. read more

I'm glad I read the reviews beforehand. Make sure to get a reservation, especially if you're going during peak hours. They get busy! The food was great. The meat was cooked so well - I especially loved the pork belly. The meat was soooo soft. They have 3 different sauces at the table for you to try with the meat. I personally liked the original, but one of my friends really liked the green sauce. My only issue was that the food was not hot. Or even warm. It still tasted good despite that, but I feel like even warming up the Mac n cheese a little would've made the experience just a little better. read more

An extensive selection of whiskeys complements a barbecue menu served up in huge portions that are full of flavor. The brisket melts in my mouth but my go to here is the fried chicken sandwich. So ono! I also love the Kalua pig. They have three house-made sauces...add your own at the table and they are all three delicious. I haven't tried the whole menu yet, but I'm betting everything is good here. The service has always been great also. Seating indoors or out. Come as you are. read more

the food is great but pricey. Service has always been great. It is the only decent BBQ on Oahu that comes close to traditional BBQ. I would recommend if you are wanting southern style BBQ and fixings. read more

Got to easy que right when they opened at 9:30. I was the first person there so I sat at the bar since it was just me having a girls day and treating myself. The bartender was very sweet and made sure to keep the mimosas coming. I really loved the Lilikoi one. It was the perfect addition to my BBQ bowl. I wish that I could have gotten the egg over medium but they said I could only do scrambled. The meat was very crispy and flavorful. The bowl was huge and I didn't finish it all. I liked the 3 different types of BBQ sauce they had to choose from, the sweet one was my favorite. Definitely coming back to try more menu items. They had a lot of outdoor seating and the inside is very bright and open! Very relaxing Sunday brunch. read more

Super tasty bbq! The Brussels sprouts are super good and everything we ordered here has been phenomenal.

How great is great? Is great better than good? Is great the best? All I know is Easy Que is really, really great. Mainland barbecue is something that is primal, tasty, and unique in it's flavors and offerings. It is something I definitely miss from the mainland. Well not to worry, Easy Que satisfies that craving! I have eaten here on numerous occasions and it is delicious. Every time I try something new, it is wonderful, and then I have to decide how much room I have for what I actually came for! Here are some of the items that wont disappoint.... Their trio of barbecue sauces So...I feel that your bbq sauces show who you are...and EasyQue is no exception. Chef driven, complex, and mouth watering....the three different bbq sauces not only stand on their own, but allow you to make the same meal taste three different ways! This is gonna sound strange, but once I'm seated, I start eating the sauces. I put a little on my finger, and taste them. Every time I am blown away at how the intensity and depth of flavor in these sauces makes my mouth water. I have said this outloud on numerous occasions, but these sauces are so delicious, they could easily be spun down into savory cocktails...they are that ono!!! The ribs are always my favorite, as I am a rib guy. Tender and fall off the bone, with enough chew and enough smoke...meat greatness. The brussel chips are very, very addictive. These crispy pupus are tossed with parmesean and force the table to fight over who gets the most. The burnt ends are always delicious. The ones here are soft and tender, but still have the flavor from the crust. I can make a meal out of just these! Ok, maybe a meal out of three orders....but you know what I mean! Believe it or not, the burrata salad is real nice. I may have needed some extra toast to sop up all the goodness, but I would get it again. Easy Que is a place to come when your hungry. But it's also a place to come when a lot of other restaurants have let you down. Sitting on the patio, listening to live music, and having pleasant, attentive servers bring you an amazing meal...does it really ge better than great?!? read more

We live right here in Kailua and tonight was the first time we ordered takeout from Easy Que. The restaurant was bustling, clean and appealing, busy with patrons eating in and others picking up food. We were greeted warmly and waited on immediately. It was all packed and ready for us to pick up. Service was exceptional...workers were sincerely happy to make sure we received our order and everything we needed. Once we got home, our food was outstanding, super onolicious...it tasted homecooked, like it had been cooking, simmering long time. The brisket was the cooked to perfection and savory tasting. The grilled cornbread perfectly complemented the brisket and the creamy slaw was awesome. We can't wait for the rest of our family to share an Easy Que meal with us. We are most certainly going to be regular, return customers! read more
