Teriyaki chicken on the right, Mac and cheese, rice, veggies and katsu chicken on the left.
Fried C.

Omg! Such decisions to make. Once I finally picked what I was going to eat, it was delicious. That staff was courteous and the restaurant was clean.

The menu says steamed vegetables. It should say steamed lettuce. One piece of broccoli? Ridiculous!

Fast friendly service. Come hungry! Macaroni salad was excellent. Sticky rice- perfect! Prices are reasonable.

It was busy. The menu was more extensive than I expected & we ordered couple Hawaiian sodas, which I liked to drink when I lived on Oahu. I will agree that portions for some (bbq chicken) were generous as was the katsu part of my kalua pork + katsu combo. I liked the outdoor seating. The lines to order were kind of odd, hard to tell where the lines were/are for. The price was ok $32 + tax. My major complaint - even compared to other plate lunch places not in Hawaii, was a lack of seasoning (salt) in the sauces/ breading on katsu/pork all lacked the flavor they should have - that cost 1 star. I also couldn't give another star because the meat in the deep fried katsu was just sub standard - fatty/grisly. I wanted to love the place, but it was just okay.

Order time and who helped us.
A. C.

I ordered a meal for myself and it took 6 minutes from placing my order to receiving my meal. A few moments later my wife decides she also wants to eat here instead of at sandwich shop next door. We order our food at 3:10 pm. We're were helped by Lawrence. Fast forward to 3:31pm and our number still has not been called. Multiple other numbers were called including three people who walking in long after us. My wife went up there to see what the issue was and the Manager (didn't get his name) was too busy on the phone. They never gave an explanation as to why it was taking to long nor an explanation to whether or not, it was being made. They simply gave us a refund like we were bothering them for asking about our food. Also it wasn't even busy like some ONOs I've gone to. 6 minutes from order to receive for mine #185 and never received for order #187. But #190-191-192 etc got theirs fairly quickly. Management = Zero Stars but he gets 10/10 on being a phone jockey (I'm thinking that's his real job and managing ONO is side work) Lawrence = 1 star..... pretty sure this is a reflection of his management team. Overall = throw this location in the trash and start over.

Fire food

Best food I've ever had, never misses. Every time I come here I and order the chicken teriyaki plate I feel like I'm in heaven on earth 10/10 would recommend

Pick 2 Aloha Plate - BBQ beef and BBQ chicken
Raphael P.

Wow this place was awesome. What to get: the pick 2 entree, comes with a huge portion of meat, white rice, and salad all for ~$12. What a deal! Highly recommend the BBQ beef, BBQ chicken, and chicken terikayi. The food was prepared fast and tasted freshly made. Place was crowded and I can see why. Deducting one star because the katsu chicken we ordered was really undercooked and pink and inedible. They replaced it though, so good customer service which is great to see. Recommend this spot!

Eric's Family BBQ absolutely blew me away! This was easily some of the BEST BBQ I've ever had, and…read moreI'm still thinking about this meal! We ordered the ribs, brisket, mac & cheese, elote, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, and honestly... EVERYTHING was a 100/10! Every single bite was packed with so much flavor, and you could really taste the care that went into the cooking. The ribs were incredibly juicy and tender, with that delicious smoky BBQ flavor and the perfect amount of seasoning. The brisket was another standout--so flavorful, tender, and juicy, with that beautiful smoky flavor you hope for when you're craving authentic BBQ. And the jalapeño cheddar sausage?! The combination of the savory sausage, little kick of jalapeño, and creamy cheddar was SO good! The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and comforting--the perfect side to balance all that smoky goodness. The elote was also a favorite, loaded with flavor and the perfect little sweet-and-savory element alongside the BBQ. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Nothing was dry, bland, or lacking seasoning. You can tell they know their way around a smoker because every bite had that delicious depth of flavor I look for in great BBQ. 100/10 would absolutely order this again! If you're a BBQ lover, Eric's Family BBQ needs to be on your list. This meal seriously exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back and try even more!

That pastrami- I'm an east coast girl--- like someone's mother made it in her crock pot! To put that on some bread would port you to NY or Jersey, STAT! The ribs are perfectly DEELICIOUS and cook out approved. Frijoles, ooooh nice, savory and filled with slow cooked love. The service is FABULOUS! You feel welcomed, it's very down home neighborhood feel. Me and my family went. (The 3 of us probably made too much noise.) but Eric's makes you feel relaxed and kicked back because the food is the show! It was our first time and there's no rushing you through the order process and they explain how it works, happily. It seems that everyone is humble and makes you feel like this is their love language. My family, the 2 of them had a burger and fries, chicken wings, pulled pork and brisket with Mac n cheese and cole slaw. When I reached the table, they both said the brisket was the best they've ever had! I feel like it's priced right! It's family style, so ordering by the pound makes so much sense. We ordered separately, but we each have good amount of food leftover for a day or two for me. We wanted to try SO many foods. We discussed needing to get the banana pudding next time. We all live downtown Phoenix but coming out to the suburbs for this, was A PERFECT TREAT for a Saturday dinner. My colleague suggested Eric's and WOW, she was SO ON POINT with this suggestion. Oh, they brew their own tea daily. Sweet and unsweetened. Oh, how could I forget the MUSIC! OMG, THE MUSIC! 70s RnB, SOOOOO COOL!!!

Went out to visit some friends in Goodyear, Arizona, and they took me to Rudy's BBQ -- and wow,…read morewhat a great experience! This is some of the best Texas-style barbecue I've had. I highly recommend the moist brisket -- tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The spicy chopped brisket baked potato was absolutely amazing, especially with their barbecue sauce on top. The whole atmosphere had that real country feel to it. It honestly felt like I was somewhere I belonged -- good food, good people, and that laid-back Texas BBQ vibe. If you're anywhere around Goodyear, Arizona, and love authentic BBQ, Rudy's is definitely worth a stop! I'll definitely be coming back. 5 stars all the way!

The concept is simple: order your meat by the pound, pick your sides, grab a dessert, and snag a beer, specialty soda, or fountain drink on your way to the register. The dining room is basically a redneck cafeteria, and I mean that as a compliment. Long community tables, no table service, and everything is self-serve. Honestly, I prefer it that way. I can grab as much white bread as I want, refill my own drink, never have to flag someone down for napkins, and I've had some great conversations with other patrons. The brisket is consistently good, and I always order it moist. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is another favorite, but the baked beans deserve their own mention. They're loaded with bits of shredded pork that add both texture and smoky flavor, making them one of the better barbecue sides around. Rudy's is one of those chains that doesn't feel like a chain. The focus is on the meat, and it shows. It delivers the consistency you'd expect from a larger operation while still feeling like a neighborhood barbecue joint. That's not an easy balance to strike, but Rudy's pulls it off.

I ordered the rib platter special and then Pit special of 5 meats where I picked pulled pork, 2 chopped briskets, burnt ends and some sort of rib. For sides we had baked beans, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and Corn nuggets. I had no idea what the nuggets were but basically breading fried with cheese and corn. So good! I wish I had time to take pictures but my family of 5 demolished this. Some of my kids are picky but everyone just loved this food. So flavorful, so tender and just soooo good! We still have some meat left over for their lunches. This will definitely be going on my repeat list. This food would be great to order for a party! I also want to give a shout out to the young man who helped with my order tonight. I wasn't sure on portion sizes and told him I wanted to feed my family of 5. I told him what I was thinking of ordering and he rang it up and then figured out it was a better deal to upgrade to the platter of 5 meats. He was very helpful in answering my questions.

Every year our friend choses BQ because we know about its excellent food, BBQ, great ambience, friendly atmosphere and great knowledgeable staff. We ordered BBQ pork and beef tips and were greeted at our table by manager Natalie. This year I excused myself from the table and decided to take a self tour around the restaurant owned by Bob Sikora and once again ran into Natalie. She took me into his special dining room set up for parties or conference meals and the walls were filled with autographed photos of past and current country music singers and achievement plaques. Before opening Mr. Lucky's and BQ, he was involved in music production and many if not all were his personal friends. We spent 30 minutes together while she gave me a history lesson about her boss. During this time Bob was sitting at the bar with friends as I'm told he loves to enjoy people at his restaurant and frequents it often. All this info was news to me, and I hadn't heard of Mr. Lucky's restaurant either. Our meals were perfect! as always. Can't wait to go back! BQ offered our birthday friend a homemade dessert on the house and discounted our check. There's always food left over to take home for another meal including homemade cornbread, free homemade mini donuts, many yummy side dishes, etc. What I also love about BQ is having the same delicious food ordered to go without the wait. When dining in we attempt to dine on an off-hour before the wait because it's so popular with the locals and hotel guests nearby. It's important to pay it forward and remember to tip the server. They work hard like everyone else and please give this restaurant a try. I dare you to prove me wrong. If available check out Mr. Sikora's fascinating special dining area. Kudos to everyone and especially Natalie for taking out the time to give me a special tour! Many thanks!

The pulled pork was also very good, with more of a vinegar-forward flavor, which will definitely appeal to those who prefer that style of BBQ. The mac and cheese was one of the best I've had in a long time! It had a nice touch of pepper, great flavor, and the perfect texture without being too soggy. The beans were also really tasty, although they could have used a little salt. The cornbread was decent but could use a bit more flavor, or even just some butter or honey served alongside it. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the brisket. I know that's one of the things Naked Q is known for, but coming from a town with some incredibly good, moist brisket, we found this version to be on the dry side. Overall, there were definitely some standouts, especially the ribs, mac and cheese, and wonderful staff. With a few small improvements, this could be an even better BBQ experience!

This is comfort food, familiar faces, good energy, and the kind of food that takes you back home before you even finish the first bite. We have supported Kingpin multiple times, and every single time they recognize us, welcome us, and make us feel like family. That means so much. There are plenty of places where you can get food, but there are not a lot of places where the people serving you make you feel remembered and genuinely appreciated. Kingpin does that. And the FOOD? Oh my goodness. I genuinely cannot pick one favorite thing because everything we have had has been amazing. I could sit here trying to choose one item and would still end up naming half the menu. Everything tastes like somebody actually cared while making it. The seasoning, the barbecue, the sides, everything just comes together. But listen... that turkey with the macaroni and cheese and shrimp? Whew. That combination right there is something serious. The turkey is flavorful and tender, the macaroni and cheese is comforting and delicious, and the shrimp just takes everything up another level. You get one bite and immediately understand why I keep coming back. Their barbecue honestly reminds me of my grandfather's barbecue, and that is one of the highest compliments I could ever give anybody. There is something about the flavor that gives me that same feeling of being around family, cookouts, good food, and people you love. Food that can bring back memories like that is special. And I cannot say enough about the two of them personally. I LOVE them. They are amazing people, and their energy is just as good as their food. Every interaction we have had with them has been welcoming, genuine, and memorable. At this point, seeing them feels like seeing family. Right now they have the food truck, but knowing that they are getting ready to have their own restaurant has me SO excited for them. I cannot wait to see them have their own space because they deserve it. I already know I will be there supporting them. And when I say I will travel for Kingpin, I mean it. I do not care where that food truck is parked. If I want Kingpin, I am getting in the car. If I had a wedding, I would seriously consider having Kingpin cater it. A family cookout? Call Kingpin. Birthday party? Kingpin. Family reunion? Kingpin. Celebration? Kingpin. Honestly, any excuse where barbecue is involved, they would be one of my first calls. That is how much I trust their food. And the biggest compliment I can give them is this: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE A THING. Keep the recipes. Keep the flavor. Keep the love. Keep the customer service. Keep that same family energy. There are restaurants you enjoy, and then there are food businesses you become emotionally attached to because they remind you of home. Kingpin BBQ is that for me. This is easily some of the best barbecue I have ever had. The food is amazing, the people are amazing, the service is amazing, and every experience has made me want to support them even more. I am beyond excited to see what is next for them, especially with the restaurant coming. Kingpin BBQ, you have customers for life over here. That is family right there.
