My friend and I decided to try some Hawaiian food :D ! We actually found this place in this cute little nook that was similar to a market. There were other food stands we wanted to try too. Food came out quite fast and it was really good! It's a little pricey but for the amount you get, and considering it's in downtime, it's not too bad. We were surprised that the meal came with two chickens! Only dislike was the Mac salad. We both assumed it would be Mac & cheese but it was not. We also thought there would be more rice. Other than that, not bad at all! A great meal that felt homey. Perfect amount for leftovers too. Awesome service! read more

Generous serving sizes at this casual restaurant, which is part of the Churchill. It has a serve yourself menu kiosk. Your number is called when your order is ready. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and received a very generous portion that was flavorful and tender. My daughter had the chicken Katsu and she enjoyed it very much. They give plenty of dipping sauce. The sides included rice and macaroni salad for both dishes. Really really good! read more

One of my favorite spots for Hawaiin bbq. Everything I've had here has been top notch. This is a family run business so you know the food is made with love. I've literally followed them to every location they've been but I believe they've found their home at the Churchill. Food can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes so we usually order in advance online so it's ready when we arrive. There's plenty of other options for drinks and a nice ambiance to eat your meal near by at the Churchill location. Definitely come before closing time because they do sell out from time to time. read more

Loco Style Grindz - 4 entree platter - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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. read more

Loco Style Grindz - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

Loco Style Grindz - Garlic Chicken with rice and Mac, there's a bed a rice under the chicken soaking up all the sauce. POG drink - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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! read more

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.

Wow this place is incredible. I got the two entree two side meal and I was blown away. It is a bit pricey, my total was $28. The meat was fairly good, I got the teriyaki chicken and steak with two sides of rice & action sauce. There were maybe 3 or 4 pieces of steak that had gristle in them so that was a bit disappointing considering the price. The meat was cooked to perfection otherwise. All very flavorful. The action sauce was perfect I just wish there was a bit more of it cause it was incredible. Their location is perfect in the Churchill read more

Very disappointed with what was one of our favorite spots. The service here is just rude. If an error occurs on the ordering kiosk, they act like it's an inconvenience to help you, even though the woman is sitting directly in front of you on her phone. We ordered one without action sauce, and yet, both had action sauce. One of the 5 pieces of chicken in my order, had zero meat and was all fried carcass and skin. Gross. Such a shame this place clearly does not care. read more

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). read more

Loco Style Grindz - Short rib and rib eye combo. Got lucky today - Hawaiian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Heard about this place from a friend. I hate going into the downtown area but, since I was in the area, I walked over to check it out. MAN! I've been thinking about this food ever since. I had a 3 meat plate - garlic chicken, ribeye steak, and Korean short rib all with sauce. I didn't realize the chicken would be fried. I tried it after I got back to my car. The garlic flavor is intense and deeelishus! I tried to drive home with it, but I live far. I kept nibbling at the food on the drive. I only had Korean short rib, rice, and macaroni remaining by the time I got home. I woke up the next morning with garlic coming thru my pores. I was ready to drive back to downtown just for that meal again (forgetting that I dislike going downtown). It was pricier than some other Hawaiian BBQ places I've been to, but by far the tastiest. read more

The Churchill is a cool little place. It's my first time at loco style Grindz. My initial thoughts were the food is pricy and I wish there was someone at the register. But it's ok, I've been to places where you order on a kiosk. When they gave me my plate and I picked it up I was like woah! This is a lot of food!!! So the amount of food is worth the price. I'm not going to exaggerate, a plate is good enough for 2-3 ppl, maybe 4! Then I tried the garlic chicken & I was glad I got it! It's 5/5! It's nicely breaded, super crispy, and it has a hint of teriyaki. I'm glad I got it because no other Hawaiian bbq place I been to offers it. They put the rice underneath it so the rice absorbs the flavor as well. The spicy mayo isn't spicy so try it and the teriyaki chicken is also delicious!!! read more

I've been meaning to try this place ever since they joined the Churchill and it did not disappoint. Counter service. The chicken was flavorful and not dry. The mac salad was light and tasty. A good version of Hawaiian food. read more

This is my go to place for Hawaiian style food when im downtown, food is great! Portion sizes are significant which reflect in price, positive there! Customer service interactions are cool the workers are nice. BUTTTTTTT the only reason for a four star is not that im trying to be a Karen or a boomer but I would rather like to see PPE being used by staff members and I would also not like to see the staff vaping behind the counter. I understand that its a late night grub spot but still some decency would be cool. Otherwise would still eat here any day.

Big portions! I heard about this place on ig and decided to check it out this past first Fridays. I got the three entree combo with galbi, chicken katsu, and chicken teriyaki. It came with mac salad and rice and I also got the spicy mayo on top. It's a must! It was kinda pricey. The galbi is an extra $1.50 and the three entree was $19.99 It was a lot of food perfect for 2 people. This place is inside the church hill. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for local Hawaiian style food. read more

I'm addicted to Loco Style Grindz and so glad they finally found a spot at the Churchill! Their teriyaki steak and chicken are excellent. The meat is juicy, flavorful, and perfectly charred. If you need more action, ask for "action on top", which is their homemade creamy (and very slightly spicy) sauce. The wait for food can be long during peak times so please be patient. I really wanted to try their other things like loco moco and garlic chicken but their teri steak and chicken are just so good I never got to try anything else... read more

Most delicious Hawaiian food we've ever had!! My kids loved it can't wait to go back. Service was great as well which is always a plus.

We have tried to come and eat at this restaurant multiple times. The first time we took the light rail from Tempe into Phoenix during the sweltering heat only to be met with annoyed employees saying they were closed. It was the middle of the week around Midday. Churchill itself was bustling and lively. We assumed that day that they were closed due to extenuating circumstances or SOMETHING because they gave no reason when we asked why they were closed, when their hours said they were supposed to be open. The second time attempting to visit was Father's Day (Sunday). We stopped by well before closing and yet again... CLOSED. After these two happenings we will definitely not be supporting this business. It is unrealistic to have inconsistent hours and not say anything about it through their social media presence. Which just so happens to be how we found out about them in the first place. If you ever find yourself visiting Churchill try out Stoop Kid instead! Their food was delicious and very satisfying after the disappointment of an experience with Loco Style Grindz. read more

If you're a new comer to Loco Stylez (as in you started eating here after they moved to The Churchill) then you will truly never know how good these guys' food used to actually be. They used to have a nice location at the Ranch Market where they actually grilled the food FRESH to order on a massive outdoor grill. You could smell the smoke upon entrance. I used to be in my car groaning with each bite of their beautifully seared ribeye steak. The food was also cheaper! 1 plate of meat, rice and mac was $13. Despite my prior annoyances with these guys (never adhering to business hours due to running out of food, no way to contact them to avoid wasting a drive, etc) it was still worth it. They are currently a shell of their former selves. The meats are no longer chargrilled. They are cooked on a griddle and placed in warmers [This is equivalent to going from smoking your wings to now baking them indoors then reducing the oven to 100 degrees to keep them warm]. You arrive, place your order with a rude cashier and retrieve your luke-warm food at a higher price point ($21 for 1 plate of meat, rice and mac). You can't even request your meat well done anymore as they would have to retrieve it from the warmer and place it back on the griddle which they hate to do. Last time I came here i couldn't finish the mid food. I ended up going next door to Freak bros pizza and getting a pepperoni pie with hot honey. So Listen here: You can easily make this Churchill version of loco stylez' food at home. Tenderize/flatten some ribeye steak then marinate it with Yoshidas teriyaki sauce. Broil on high using a cast iron pan or baking rack. OR grill it outside on a chargriller if you want the Ranch Market version of loco stylez. Slice into strips. Pressure cook some jasmine rice. Voila. Finish off the plate with some Japanese Yum Yum Sauce (same thing as their action sauce). If you want chicken then switch out the steak for skinless chicken thighs and rinse/repeat the steps. Thank me later. If you're a newcomer....of course then.... ignore this and enjoy as you are unburdened by what has been! read more

I want to start this review by saying I've been coming to Locos for years! From the Ranch Market, AZ Mills mall , pop up events at Many Worlds, to the international market in Mesa, and finally a solidified spot at the Churchill; I am a loyal Loco customer! Through all the changes in space and staff they ALWAYS keep the culture and food true it's original DNA (getting better year by year). Since they've been at the Churchill, I've gone there at least once a week, sometimes I'll hit Taco Tuesday and then come back for a platter later in the week. I think it's good To try new food spots, but sometimes they are let downs. With locos, I know I'm getting a fat ass plate that feels like 2 pounds of food when I lift the box. As an artist in Phoenix, Ive accomplished a lot and I can say that each time I achieve something great my "victory meal" is always at locos. Those people work f***king hard, and it shows with the food. It's always given with love no matter how busy, or hot they get in that kitchen. At this point, EVERYONE at my job goes to locos because I put them on. Today I went and picked up a plate for my co-worker, not knowing that another co-worker went earlier in the day! So much I can say about this place! But.....yall get it. read more

The fooood wassss soooo good! definitely worth everytime. Their kalbi short ribs + garlic chicken always hit it home.

BROKE DA MOUT This is reminiscent of real island food. The flavor and authenticity is as if you went to a little food shop or food truck in Hawaii. They happened to be sold out of everything but chicken items by the time I arrived. OH NO! SOOOO... I ended up getting the Chicken Katsu. ONO! This was not a bad thing. In fact, it was delicious. Getting the Chicken Katsu was no consolation. CHICKEN KATSU- The meat was tender and juicy and perfectly crispy. Good meat to breading ratio. Comes with katsu sauce but you can either order it with or without Action Sauce which is like a mildly spicy Aioli POTATO MAC SALAD- you are used to Mac salad or potato salad but it's a mash-up of both and I like that. It was cool and refreshing despite it being heavy. But not overly salted or spiced. This spot feels like more of a pop up restaurant with their limited hours. So you have to get it while you can. But can't wait to try the other items. read more

RELAX ON THE PRICES THIS ISNT HAWAII. 2 plates with one entree each + a Pog drink that's not even Pog from Hawaii. I'm born and raised on the island of Maui and I just moved to this state March 2024 and of course I am trying to find a restaurant that tastes like home. This place not even close, I really don't know what the hype is about this place because I ordered the chicken Katsu and I mostly got bread. My husband got the kalbi but it's nothing exciting. People that open up a food service business and try to make the menu Hawaiian kine and make the plates Hawaii prices are idiots. The reason why the prices are the way they are in Hawaii is because the people there have to pay for OCEAN PRICES just to get equipment and foods to the islands for their food service businesses. SO CALM DOWN ON YOUR PRICES THIS ISNT HAWAII. I wouldn't refer anyone to this place. You folks should really cut your prices in half because that's honestly how much your plates are worth or just get shut down. Also, fix up your schedule it's not consistent and you're closed on Sundays, not even open. read more

If I could give them more stars I would. I like to take a peek and see if they're open when I'm downtown. Nice folks here I've been familiar with LSG since their ranch market days. I noticed they changed up their Mac salad a bit but it's still great. Always known them to be incredible and busy. They sell out frequently so have a contingency plan if they're not open. It's not their fault they're popular ‍ If they have no fans I'm dead. read more

Never a bad visit to Churchill & St Patrick's Day was vibing! The food was so good and fresh! You can watch them match it from the waiting area! Our service was super nice and the wait time was well worth it (maybe 15 mins for 2 combo plates). The line packs up so you know it's good! The music was numbing and it was pretty cool watching their team work together ! I also purchased the POG afterward and that juice is THE B O M B D O T C O M ! You heard from Ari: Try This Place!

We went on a Sunday but they told us they were sold out, so we went back on Thursday, both times we were greeted with bothered faces... we thought maybe Sunday was just a bad day, but then again Thursday. We still decided to eat there to give it a try and support and small local business... but honestly the price and the quality of food don't match each other. We ordered all the meats so we can try them all and we were not impressed and unsatisfied. Katsu chicken was dry and burnt, pork was over seasoned, garlic chicken was okay, Mac salad was okay, rice was dry , steak was a tiny portion and they charge extra for it, chicken teriyaki was bland... I'm not speaking out of my a** but you get more from ono Hawaiian or L&L for way less. read more

I've supported Loco since the parking lot days at Many World, and while I've been to this location multiple times because the food is consistently good, unfortunately, the customer service leaves much to be desired. On several occasions, they've forgotten items from our order, such as missing a second meat on a two-meat plate. When we've gone back to address the issue, we've been met with an attitude, as if it's our fault for pointing out the mistake. While we enjoy the food, the experience would be greatly improved if the staff were more attentive to orders and approached customer concerns with a more positive attitude. And don't forget to check your food before leaving! read more

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).
