I want to give this place its flowers cuz man this place broke da mouth!! So ono, and I'd definitely come back again! Got the #3 sandwich and it was amazing! It's basically the perfect combination of kalua pork in a grilled cheese sandwich. And whatever sauces and extra ingredients they use just adds so much flavor and helps bring out the smokiness and savoryness (if that's even a word lol) of the pork and cheese. By far the most pleasant surprise of my Kauai trip. I'd come back here again for sure!! Service was nice and the ambiance was unique. Especially their beach themed tables that was gorgeous to see in person. 5 stars!! Compliments to the chef yum yum :) read more

Porkys Kauai - Hawaiian Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

I did not expect to have the best kalua pork out of a smol place called Porkys, but maybe that's my fault. Girlfriend and I shared the Number Three and while the sammich was definitely filling and very satisfying, the glutton at heart definitely wished I had a whole one to myself. The pork was so tender, and even more flavorful. The cheese blend was tasty and worked extremely well with the pork, and the bread did a fantastic job soaking up all the flavors. The one thing I will say is that the sweet porkys sauce is definitely too sweet, and for me, it was completely unnecessary. Only dipped a finger to taste it but it definitely would've worstened the sammich had we used it. Sammich came with a side, none of which we cared for at the time, so we went with rice. Rice was nothing special. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. Can't really ask for too much more than that. The place is smol but comfy and gives off food court at the mall type of vibes, which given the location makes perfect sense. Overall a 4.5/5 experience, rounded down to 4 read more

7.5/10 Got the #2 which is the beef hotdog and pulled pork. Had high expectations for this place bc I've heard some hype. It was good don't get me wrong, but a little overrated imo. Felt more like a pulled pork sandwich with a hotdog as opposed to the opposite. read more

Great place, great service and amazing food. We got the number 1 and 3 and I can definitely recommend both! The sausage on the number 1 was especially good and great classic Mac salad too! read more

Yeah, if you're local or visiting, this place is a must. Simple and straightforward menu with options that will keep your cravings in an undecided state. I went with Option 2 - pulled pork and pineapple chunks on a sausage dog. Mouthwatering. There's a miniature side of the menu if you're not that hungry too. It's perfect for all pork lovers and appetites! There are about five sides to choose from and a basic drink selection of cokes and juices. Service was kind and fast with orders. Order at the counter and sit in an open ambience setting. Lovely experience all around. Definitely recommend! read more

Omg this place was delicious. Probably our favorite meals of the trip. The staff were super nice, and certainly cooked and prepared the food with love. The place is mellow, low key, easy seating, and they serve you in to-go containers because they know you want to take the rest home if you don't finish it! The meat was so moist and delicious. We will return!!! read more

A million times, yes you should come here! Staff is friendly, plenty of seating, and it's tasty! My guy and I split the Number Three and it was the best kalua pork we had the entire trip. The sammich was very filling and we enjoyed every bite of it. While the sammich was mouthwatering and is a 5/5 for me, the rest of the dish has me bringing the rating down to a 4: - the rice was lukewarm and didn't add anything to the dish - the sauce was also too sweet, so we didn't use it - it's pricey. I wish they had options to not do a combo because we didn't need a side or a drink Still one of our favorite meals on the island. read more

Love the #3! You can't go wrong with kalua pork and grilled cheese! Employees are always smiling and friendly; service is quick and the food is hot when you get it. I love the tables here; they are super cool. This is a prime spot for people watching. Get the banana bread if it's there - it's delicious. Portions are large and the sweet sauce is killer! Love going here for a quick lunch. read more

This is a cute place! I loved the decor and the tables were beautiful. It is super chill here. They have a few box lunches to choose from. My husband loved his hot dog. My pork was a little dry and it wasn't my favorite Mac salad. But the sauce was really good. read more

Porkys Kauai - Pineapple pork, sweet and spicy sauce, Mac salad and rice. - Hawaiian Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

This small restaurant is in the middle of a mid-sized retail shopping center. Their menu is straight-forward, see my pic. Also check out my drink menu pic, particularly their drink pricing. We were a bit early for the lunch hour and we were served quickly. Of course, we had to try the Number One. This is a meat lover's delight: a pork sausage covered with kalua pork. It is seasoned with diced pineapple and grilled onions - can't go wrong. The bun held it all together. Overall, the meat flavors were mild but you go away filled. read more

Came here on Monday 1:30 pm ordered 3 hotdogs, there was only two group total of 5 hotdogs orders in front of me. I end up waited over 30 mins to get my food, it's quit a wait consider the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Pricy is about $19 20 each included one side and a can soda, pretty decent price for Hawaii standard. Tasty is good, and big, a bit salty for ok. Will be a 4.5 stars if not the long wait read more

The #3 kalua pork grilled cheese was excellent comfort food! Can't go wrong with a delicious hot grilled cheese sando after a long day outside. Loved eating all the poke daily, but fitting in a hot savory grilled cheese meal just provided a different kind of good eatin! Noted the 2 hot dog joints before the trip, porkys and the one by the beach which seemed popular. But I just couldn't consider eating a hot dog in Kauai, no matter how good it may be, so I chose porkys solely for the grilled cheese:) Both sauces were good, but if getting just one, the sweet & spicy sauce is the way to go to dip extra flavor punch to your sando. Pickled red onions was perfect to munch on in between the savory rich bites of the grilled cheese. And the Hawaiian Sun green tea was excellent refreshment. Initially sat inside, but then said why not sit outside in paradise?! But sitting at the outdoor bar seating did expose face to the sun, so do wear a hat or sunglasses if sitting there:) Just choose the #1 entree + side + drink and enjoy! read more

Well,well... the sandwiches are excellent! I had the one with pulled pork and havarti cheese with dropped pineapple and a side of macaroni salad: de-effing-licious!!!! It was flavorful, packed with pulled pork so yummy, the cheese just how I like it: melting and every bite a delight. Service is order at the counter and pick it up, the kitchen is open behind the counter so you can see what is being prepared. We sat outside on a high table so we could look out, people watching and enjoying the chill vibe. Will likely stop by again on another visit to Koloa. No alcohol available - no biggie - so had a Sprite and my companion a Guava juice. He had a pork dog with a side of macaroni salad (copycat ) and the spicy-sweet sauce. As some of you know I am deadly allergic to chili so couldn't taste his hot dog but it looked very inviting. The marketplace has some lovely stores, a fresh market, juice bar, and a couple other eateries that opened later in the day. It's not a huge place but nice for a stroll around and maybe have a shave ice at Mango's or a coffee at Ali'i Coffee. Stop by any of these places and enjoy the Aloha spirit and friendliness of the area people. read more

You wouldn't think that Porkys was groundbreaking by just reading their menu options, but man, it may just be among the best sandwiches I've ever had. Yes, it's a lot of pork. A pork sausage with a nice heap of kalua pork on top. The Kalua pork is amazing; bursting with flavor and it combines perfectly with the fresh pineapple. I think the cheesy hoagie roll may be the perfect compliment to it all though, as I loved the crispy toasted cheese with every bite. It's a cute little restaurant with a fair amount of seating. Friendly staff as well. Would strongly recommend, even if it's just for a quick snack. Please check out Porkys! read more

Love going to a place where I also see locals eating. The portions are huge. We couldn't finish ours but we really wanted to since it was very delicious. I was amazed at how much food we got for such a low price. It was definitely hopping while we were there which was a good sign but they were good at making sure everyone was served quickly. read more

Porkys Kauai - Number 4 - Hawaiian Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

I'm devastated I found this place the day before I left Kauai ! BY FAR one of my favorite places to eat on the island !!!! The Menu is simple... you have 4 choices 1. Pineapple infused pork sausage with pulled kalua pork and melted cheese 2. Hot dog with pulled kalua pork and chopped pineapple 3. Pulled kalua pork grilled cheese sandwich with chopped pineapple inside 4. Bowl of rice with kalua pork and chopped pineapple each entree comes with 1 side and 1 drink the sides are: Mac salad, rice, bag of chops or pickled onions and cucumber so what do you pick ? I have had them all, and For me, the clear winner was the pulled pork, chopped pineapple grilled cheese sandwich! AND you HAVE to ask for the spicy BBQ sauce. It completes not just the sandwich but the hot dog and the infused pork sausage. THIS IS THE PERFECT LUNCH SPOT If you are in Kauai, this place is a MUST HAVE if you are hungry for lunch, or really any time you are hungry. read more

Super hungry? Then this killer pork sammie spot is a great choice for ono grinds! The sandwiches are fat, perfect blend of flavor, we had the one grilled with cheese, pineapple onions, and Hawaiian bread, we shared it and were satisfied Def will do again when back on south shore read more

On my recent visit to Kaua'i I spent time in Kōloa, one of my favorite towns on the island. I had the Kalua pig plate at Porky's and it was delicious: ono, as they say. The pork was enhanced with small pineapple bits and grilled onion, and the BBQ sauce on the side was as good as any I've had, though the pork didn't need any help. I was impressed that the two scoops of rice were jasmine, unusual but welcome in this plate. And the Mac salad was top notch. The service was friendly and attentive. I even bought a slice of homemade banana bread to take with me. All in all, a meal that made me happy inside and out! read more

This was very good! Pleasantly surprised at how delicious all of the food was. All our kids loved their dishes.

pork city as the name would suggest, this place specializes in pork. and they do it well. we tried their pork hotdog with pulled pork and pineapples on top. the dog was juicy and speckled with pineapple pieces. and pulled pork was juicy as well. the highlight was the bun which had crispy cheese on the sides. decedent and delicious. read more

Food (5/5 stars): Porky's in Koloa has a small and simple menu but serves up delicious Hawaiian food! I went with their Baby Kalua Pork meal, which had the perfect amount of food and even included a side and drink. I loved the flavor of the Kalua Pork but the Sweet and Spicy sauce was the highlight. Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: pretty reasonable and worth it! * Wait Time: less than 10 minutes during a summer evening * Service: very good and friendly! * Parking: there are nearby parking lots and street parking * Ambiance: it's a nice, modern, and simple quick service restaurant read more

Friendly service - Open seating - Weak flavor Before I go negative Nancy I wanna give kudos to the friendly staff and the open seating that made the meal enjoyable to eat in. But, overall this wasn't a winner for me. As far as BBQ goes - this wasn't your typical southern BBQ, perhaps it's the Hawaiian version but to me it was a bland copy. Their pork was tender and cooked well. It came with plenty of pineapple, red onions, and rice. Portions were great! But the flavor of true BBQ was far from where it needed to be. We got the #1 and #4 which was a hotdog with pork and pulled pork with rice. The sauce was the most sus part, which IMO makes the BBQ. Their version of spicy is weak. The #1 - if I had to eat here again is what I'd choose, pretty tasty! But the pork alone was missing something. I saw a few TikTok's recommending this place, I can't meat this review with the same excitement. Not a bad choice by any means, but not the best. read more

Cute lunch spot! The baby dogs are huge! Great portions for cost ratio. Unique flavors.

This place is a must go if you are on Kauai! The food is delicious. I recommend the Number 1 (pineapple sausage) or Number 3 (grilled cheese) with Mac salad. Honestly- everything is good. The restaurant is clean, nice/good vibes... the staff is very friendly! I'm going to be dreaming about the grilled cheese till we come back. The sauces are delicious. I prefer the spicy sauce but the sweet one is also delicious. The spicy has a little kick to it but it's very tasty. Come with an empty stomach because the portions are big and you will leave feeling full and happy. As a bonus, I found out it's owned by the cutest family who lives nearby. read more

Had this on the first night - our party of 8 had at least one of the four options - I personally had the grilled cheese and also had some of #4 and enjoyed both - the sides are rather small - given price point they should be larger. The sandwich was very tasty and I would come back for that. read more

Delicious food for reasonable pricing! Loved the atmosphere and vibes! Would recommend for picky eaters as well!

This is no longer cheap eats. $21.00 for a hot dog and the smallest side you have ever seen? Go to Bubbas and eat way more food and better quality too. Sad to see what happened to Porky's. We watched it sit completely empty during lunch one day. People get it. And it takes about 30 minutes for you to get your small portion of food. No thanks. read more
