Was in a Hawaiian BBQ mood and wanted to try a new spot. Found this on Yelp and we decided to give it a shot. Loved the outside seating at night with the lights! There's plenty of seating inside as well. The place was clean and the staff were great! You order at the counter and take a seat...they bring your food to your table when ready. I went with the Fire Chicken and loved it! Perfect char on the chicken and the fire sauce had amazing flavor. Their Mac Salad is great as well. The portions are HUGE....I was stuffed! On a scale of 1 to 10, I don't crave Hawaiian BBQ often, but next time I do, this place will be one of the first I consider.

One of the best Hawaiian spots in the East Valley. I ordered the BBQ and Katsu special which came with Mac salad and rice. You have the option of adding more or less veggies, rice or Mac salad. Ordering was very easy as you get the option of ordering in person or at the kiosk. I'd say I waited about 5-10 min for two orders. The chicken katsu had the perfect crispness, not dry at all. The BBQ was my favorite, can't go wrong. They are generous with the amount per plate, which definitely worth the price. If you're craving Hawaiian bbq, stop by this spot you won't be disappointed.

BBQ and Katsu Special
Fernando D.

This is my favorite Hawaiian spot in all of arizona! I wasn't really a fan of Hawaiin food prior because I think I tried some mid food back in my area, but this place is so amazing. There is a kiosk where you can order. I always get their bbq and katsu special for $14.99. I am able to get two meals out of it because they always stack their plates. The bbq and katsu special includes bbq chicken, katsu, and beef. All three of them are so good, but my absolute favorite is the katsu. They make it so crispy and delicious paired with their katsu sauce. Our food is always ready within 10 minutes. There are a lot of tables inside, but I like to eat outside in their patio area. Very easy parking. Definitely recommend!

You knowwww what it isss. I was craving Hawaiian bbq again and got the usual bbq mix. Today, we decided to try their sweet potato balls. Biggest mistake ever because now we are going to get it EVERYTIME we are there hahah. It came out freshh, hot, and crispy. It was not overly sweet at all. Ten sweet potato balls for $8 or you could get 5 balls for $5. Service again super quick and efficient. It was also a nice day today so we ate at their tables outside.

Great serving sizes, and I love that you can customize how much mac salad and rice you get for your plate depending on your preference. The staff here were helpful and very nice, and got my order out quickly. They have a kiosk to order as well as a register, so it's quick and easy. Some tables in the restaurant, but the atmosphere is not anything special.

Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate ($15.77 with tax)
MaryAnn L.

One of my go-to places for a good Hawaiian plate lunch when I'm in town. Usually grab a plate before heading home to T-town. They've got big portions, and plate is enough to feed two people or one hungry kanak! lol. This last time I got the Hawaiian bbq mix. Sooo good! The kalbi is always my favorite! Mac salad is good too! Only thing is that I wish they'd give more rice cause there's a lot of meat in this plate! lol. In addition to the amazing food, service is also great! Food is made to order, and still comes out quickly. If you don't want to wait, you could also order online ahead of time People here are friendly and always very helpful.

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

Maui Wowi! This place is amazing. The food is cooked to order and with great, fast service and huge portions. I ordered the traditional Hawaiian BBQ chicken, and am taking at least half of it home with me. I think I got 3 or 4 chicken breasts. Will definitely be back to this fast-casual spot.

Gabe L.

Great and reliable Hawaiian food. I'm not sure how authentic it is, but it is definitely delicious. The best thing is the portion sizes. You get a lot of food for around $15-$20 after tax and it is so good. I love their plate options and recommend it.

BBQ and Katsu Special $13.99
Angel D.

For $13.99 - I feel full and happy with my food decision today! Ended up here after seeing the never ending long lines at Aloha Fest over at Tempe Beach. Super short wait. It's a cute area. I have no complaints for this meaty $14 meal.

Christina M.

Never been here before but I'm so glad I found it. Can I just say how much food they give you is awesome!! When I picked up the to go container to open it I did a double take on the weight. That thing was heavy. So much food. I ordered what I usually like to order from Hawaii bbq places- 1/2 bbq chk and 1/2 katsu with rice & Mac salad. Everything was delicious. Even the cabbage they put under the meat was tasty and so fresh. I loved it! Only ate like half of my food so I'll be enjoying some leftovers.

Hawaiian Drinks
Ian B.

I've been looking for the best Hawaiian food in the Phoenix metro for a while and this is it. Hands down. Best quality, best price, and best portion size. How can you have all 3?? I don't know, but they did it. Now I'm just sad that it's 40 minutes from my house! I also loved the Hawaiian drinks! I got a second one for the road because I haven't seen them anywhere else.

Chicken Combo Special
Kiarra V.

This place is SO good!! My boyfriend and I discovered it about 6 months ago. It is the best Hawaiian food I have found. I am very picky about my mac salad and do not like it many places, but I get it here every time. I usually get the chicken combo plate, it comes with katsu chicken and barbecue chicken. I could talk about Maui Hawaiian Grill forever!!

We've developed favorites in several cities, particularly when it comes to authentic Texas-style BBQ. Since moving to Arizona, we've enjoyed exploring the local BBQ scene, including Little Miss BBQ. However, after our first visit to Caldwell County BBQ, we can confidently say we've found our new local favorite! From the moment we walked through the door, the experience was exceptional. We were greeted by Mason, who immediately made us feel welcome. When he learned it was our first visit, he took the time to explain the ordering process, describe the different meats, and share his personal recommendations. Even as the line grew behind us, he never made us feel rushed. He treated us as though we were the only guests there. Mason offered samples of the beef rib, brisket, and sausage, all of which were outstanding. He genuinely wanted us to experience the flavors before ordering. He explained that everything is served à la carte and prepared fresh daily. His enthusiasm was especially noticeable when describing the banana pudding, made fresh at 5 a.m. with bananas, homemade custard, and smoked vanilla beans. That attention to detail immediately impressed us. We ordered a pound of brisket, pulled pork and brisket sliders, green chile mac and cheese, corn casserole, pinto beans, and two absolutely massive beef ribs served with house-made chimichurri. The beef ribs were phenomenal! Incredibly tender, flavorful, and slightly sweeter than the brisket, they were easily among the best we've ever had. The chimichurri was equally impressive, bursting with fresh herbs and peppers. We honestly could have put it on everything! The green chile mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, with just enough chile flavor without overwhelming heat. The corn casserole was rich, thick, and buttery, while the pinto beans were perfectly tender with a subtle smokiness that wasn't buried under excessive seasoning. The brisket had beautiful bark, exceptional flavor, and was incredibly juicy without relying on excessive fat. The sliders, served on salted pretzel buns, may have been small enough to fit in your palm, but they were generously packed with meat. Don't underestimate them! For dessert, we enjoyed the banana pudding and sheet cake. The pudding was perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Learning that the vanilla beans are smoked and the wafers are buttered, baked, and layered into the pudding made us appreciate it even more. The sheet cake featured a tender layer of cake topped with rich fudge frosting and walnuts. Both were a wonderful ending to an incredible meal. But as exceptional as the food was, what truly set Caldwell County apart was the hospitality. Mason made a point to check on us during our meal, genuinely interested in hearing about our experience. That simple gesture meant a great deal. Throughout our visit, it was obvious that the entire team takes tremendous pride not only in the quality of their food but also in how they treat their guests. There is a meaningful difference between serving customers and making people feel genuinely valued. Caldwell County understands that difference. Every interaction felt personal, sincere, and unhurried. We never felt like another transaction or simply the next people in line. We felt appreciated, and that is something we'll remember long after the meal. In fact, before we had even finished eating, we were already telling family, friends, and fellow BBQ enthusiasts about our experience! Having enjoyed BBQ throughout the country, we can confidently place Caldwell County among our absolute favorites. The quality, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make this restaurant something special. We're already looking forward to returning next week with friends visiting from out of town. We sincerely hope Mason is there because we'd love for them to experience the same exceptional hospitality we received. To Mason and the entire Caldwell County team: Thank you for reminding us what genuine hospitality looks like. You've gained loyal customers, and we couldn't be happier to have discovered you here in Arizona! If we could give you a 20 out of 10, we absolutely would. Outstanding in every way!

I would like to thank the staff at the hotel for recommending this place. What a hidden treasure!…read more Their food is absolutely fantastic. I had the brisket and pulled pork plate (I also wanted to try the ribs and sausage, but they were already sold out!). That gives you an idea of how popular they are. Great service as soon as you enter. The young staff were super nice and polite...great job by them. The indoor space (with cold AC to fight the Arizona heat) is small but clean and comfortable. They also have outdoor seating with fans and mist to cool you off. I took my order back to the hotel. Let me tell you, the food is phenomenal. That brisket was so moist and perfectly seasoned...gosh it was so good! The pulled pork was fantastic as well. The potato salad was great and definitely made on-site, not from a bag. The beans were really good too. I was really impressed with their offerings and will definitely go back on my next trip to Arizona.

I can say that I have never had horrible pork or sausage here, but I tried the beef ribs twice, and I watched friends eat them a couple of times and they were horrible! They don't remove the membrane inside of the ribs most of the time, so they're extra chewy. The biggest issue is that you pay by the pound for a HUGE bone you cannot eat, and your lucky if 1/4 of the weight is fat or meat. They're just not worth the price...period! The ribs are usually very good with a good pull and a decent moisture content, but I had a few batches that we very dry. The issue I have is the price of $28lbs for ribs is crazy money since that's only about 3 or 4 ribs, so a full rack is going to be $75 to $100. When you consider that half or more is bones you can't eat they're just not worth it! Do what I did 15 years ago and buy a good smoker, and learn how to use it.

After looking at the receipt again I was irritated by the insane cost of the worst ribs ever. $63 for a rack of babyback ribs is the highest in town. Most places get $32 to $38 a rack. I admit that I made the mistake of going here, but never again! My efforts to try their smoked prime rib was a worthless journey. I call about 10 times looking for medium rare prime rib, and they never had it. They didn't have it the day they told me they did. I asked for a pound and a half of prime rib, and I got 3/4 that was only slightly pink in the very center. It was cold and had no aju, and no juice whatsoever in the meat! There wasn't even much smoke flavor at all. Worst prime rib ever! There's much better BBQ around for much less money!
