    I tried Loco Grindz Hawaiian BBQ in Phoenix, and overall it was a great experience! The Garlic Chicken was hands down my favorite, super flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, so while the food is on the pricier side, it's definitely worth it for the amount and quality you get. Vibe was great. A lot of available seating. The customer service was a little off the day I visited. Still, the food more than made up for it, and I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu.

    The lady at register was very nice and patient with my questions. The food.... .... Cannot wait to go back and get a bigger plate haha! (The drink in the picture was from one of the bars there)

    Loco Style Grindz BBQ, Phoenix AZ Step aside, Phoenix BBQ joints--there's a new grill master in town, and it's serving up flavors that'll have you questioning your loyalty to your usual spot. Enter Loco Style Grindz, where the only thing crazier than their name is the sheer size of their meat platters. I mean, seriously--this plate was stacked like a Hawaiian luau on steroids. From juicy, smoky pulled pork to the crispy, charred ribs dripping with a creamy, tangy sauce that seems to be sprinkled with magic (or just a lot of mayo), it was a savory assault on the senses. You get a mound of rice to balance things out, because carbs and BBQ go together like SPF and Phoenix sunburn. The meat was tender enough to be cut with a plastic fork, and the portion sizes? Let's just say, if you leave hungry, you did it wrong. Each bite was an explosion of flavor--smoke, spice, and that addicting drizzle of sauce. Is it BBQ? Is it an island feast? It's a little loco, but in the best possible way. If you're on a low-carb diet, don't come here unless you're prepared to make some exceptions. But if you're all about big, bold flavors and aren't afraid to get a little messy, this place will satisfy every carnivorous craving you didn't even know you had. Pro Tip: Wear stretchy pants and maybe bring a napkin or twelve.

    Chicken Katsu

    I ordered the kalbi plate, which comes with two sides of rice and a mac salad. The kalbi was tender with a nice smoky, sweet flavor. The mac salad leaned more savory and tangy instead of sweet, which I still enjoyed. I also tried the chicken katsu, and the panko crust was crunchy and well-seasoned. Ordering through the window screen was easy, and the staff was really nice. The portions were solid overall. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food makes it worth considering for a return visit.

    Live action grilling.  The BBQ smell draws you in from the parking lot.

    Absolutely delicious. Hawaiian BBQ. Originally walked in the area for Acai bowl then got lured in by the incredible BBQ smell and live action smoke. lol. No regrets. Teriyaki ribeye steak, kalua pork, Kalbi was right on the money. Garlic chicken was a bit dry but felt like I was eating. Must try for phoenix

    Garlic chicken and teriyaki prime steak  thanks Kyle @happydazetattooaz for the recommendation!

    Hella bomb! Service was lightning fast and food was hot and amazing and plentiful! The atmosphere is super cool with misters all around to beat the heat

    Easily my favorite Hawaiian bbq spot in Phoenix. Food always tastes super fresh and the fact that they always sell out is a testament to their following and the quality of the food. I love the chicken teriyaki and get it almost every time. It comes with amazing pasta salad and what I assume is coconut rice. It's now at the Churchill downtown so there's other spots you can grab a drink too. Service is always super friendly.

    Garlic Chicken with rice and Mac, there's a bed a rice under the chicken soaking up all the sauce. POG drink

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 I'm currently visiting Phoenix and I'm staying in Roosevelt row area. I've been craving Hawaiian food and luckily Loco Style Grindz was just a few blocks away. It's located in an outdoor eatery called the Churchill. There's a lot of shade a ton of seating. The employees were kind and helpful while ordering. I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon, asked what their favorite dish would be. In response it was between the Garlic chicken and the Teriyaki steak. I love Teriyaki but I am definitely a garlic girl through and through. For drinks they had two options, I went with the P.O.G, which was a passion fruit orange juice and guava mix I believe. The drink was delicious and refreshing. Hawaiian eats can be very filling and Loco Style Grindz got it to a T; with the Mac salad, rice and a huge serving of protein. The garlic chicken was fried but extremely juicy on the inside. I loved it, Mac salad was delicious and you can never go wrong with rice. I left extremely satisfied and with half of my order for later. I hope I can try their loco moco before I leave. It wasn't in stock today :-( Overall great experience!

    It's hard to find good Hawaiian food on the mainland (especially Arizona) but this place does it really well! So happy it's got a permanent home in the Churchill because it's a great area to just chill, have a beer and have some bomb food. We got the garlic chicken and the korean style galbi which was so delicious. The chicken was super crispy and tossed in sauce with lots of additional chopped garlic. I'm definitely a garlic girl, so I really enjoyed the different garlic flavors. It can be overwhelming for those that aren't the biggest garlic fans but it was perfect for me. The galbi, however, kind of fell short. It was pretty charred and had a strong burnt flavor. The marinade was good, but it was hard to detect because of the burnt taste. The POG juice was yummy as always, the passion fruit, orange, and guava juice combination just can't be beat!

    Crispy chicken with macaroni salad and white rice.

    The Churchill s location is excellent. Off Roosevelt. Finding parking can be a bit challenging so bring your extra patience for this task. Excellent place to eat with a group of friends since The Churchill has various food places. We enjoyed our food and drinks. Even though is august in Phoenix the mists kept it pretty cool. Will return to try the other food places. I love supporting our local peeps. Bathrooms are available and they are kept clean. Baby changing stations are also available. Water stations are also available.

    Short rib and rib eye combo. Got lucky today

    This is Phoenix's best kept secret. I love Ono's Hawaiian BBQ but this place takes it to the next level. The quality of meat and the charcoal or mesquite (not sure) they use is where the flavor is at. Cooked perfectly; the side macaroni salad and white rice with sweet teriyaki sauce is delicious as well. This food is priced accordingly based on the quality of meat. It's worth it. Been following them since they were in Mesa (long time). I'm so glad they finally got a permanent spot at the Churchill. Great vibes here. Love getting a cocktail while waiting for our order. Please stop by and say hello to Mox. She will be happy to take your order. (If she's not in Hawaii).

    If I could eat this daily, I would. My only wish is they had smaller and cheaper portion options because these are massive (but delicious).

I also like how boba is included in the price (Other toppings such as jelly are extra). There are a plethora of flavors too with cute names. I opted for the peppermint chocolate milk tea (Mr. Mint milk tea), 24 oz with boba. It was made in a short amount of time and had a double lid, with a heat sealed lid and snap on lid over that. Overall it was an enjoyable drink but I would have liked more minty flavor. It was hard to distinguish the mint and chocolate and tasted more like a generic sweetness. The boba was plentiful and decently chewy. Service was friendly and there was a sign at the counter saying if you sign up to be on their list they give you 10% your drink. Nice! The total for my drink with tax was a little over $5 which is not bad at all. Gotta love a good deal! If I'm in the area again I'd definitely come back for more drinks. They also offer snacks, dumplings and noodles which is a tempting option.

I'm typically not a huge fan of shaved ice or snow cones, don't get me wrong, I like them, just wouldn't make a trip specifically to get one. But, this little shaved ice truck is fantastic! The two people inside were wearing masks and gloves and were incredibly friendly and helpful. The small truck was very clean and cool and well done. They have a million different flavor combinations and were happy to share their favorites and recommendations. Turns out, all of their syrups and flavors are homemade, you could definitely taste that! We got eight different iced, flavors and flavor combinations and everybody loved them. We sat in the shade of some tall trees in our camping chairs in the grass. Temperature was 90°, but somehow it felt like 75°, it was beautiful and the cool ice treats probably helped with that. The ice is very light and melts quickly in your mouth leaving just the fantastic flavors. You don't feel like you've eaten a bunch of sugar and you're not full, just refreshed. I definitely recommend Phoenix Phreeze. Even making it a regular thing, a tradition, trying different flavors and combinations. It feels like a family owned, caring, comfortable, "homey" experience. Well done!!

We had other specialized food trucks rotate in and out as many parents were there for a while on baseball nights, but Phoenix Phreeze was a nice consistent stop for many. They carry the essentials, hotdogs, chips, candy, sodas as well as other items like nachos. The one thing that always brought me to this stand was the shaved ice and all of the flavors to go along with it. Definition of shaved ice is exactly what I had in mind. The price is great and they pack the ice night and tight in one of 3 size cups. I like that they add the flavor so it's just the perfect amount and not leaving it too sugary sweet with the syrup coming through the bottom of the cup. Look forward to seeing them at other events as they owners are great!
