I really wanted to try the brisket and ribs, but that wasn't possible unless I bought two plates. Chef suggested the brisket, so I got that with two sides of corn. Would the rather flimsy fork and no knife be enough? Oh yeah! The brisket just about fell apart. It was moist, which is hard to achieve; usually it's dried out. It was lightly sauced, enough to complement the meat, not drown it. The corn ears were juicy, also not dried out. I'll be looking for this truck next time I'm on the Hilo side! Gotta try those ribs.

The BBQ is not too shabby by Hawaii standards, but overall, it's okay…read more The brisket plate was a massive portion, but it lacked that BBQ flavor. What I mean by that is that it was under-seasoned and didn't have any smoky flavor you're probably used to or crave when wanting BBQ. Some parts were a tad dry, but what saved it was their spicy BBQ sauce. It's very flavorful with a good kick. The coleslaw was bland and watery, but I don't necessarily gravitate towards the side dishes, so this doesn't sway my opinions on the rating very much. My focus is the meats. Look, if you're looking to satisfy that BBQ craving here in Hilo this will get the job done. Give them a try out!

Husband and I were traveling from the mainland and were trying to hit up all the Big Island sites in a day. Unattainable.

We got a skewer of chicken and one skewer of pork. It was delicious!!! Super moist and really great flavor! High recommend this place! Mr D is quick and friendly.

Paniolo BBQ - A Must-Do on the Big Island!…read more Come hungry and bring your stretchy pants! What an amazing evening! Between the delicious food, fantastic entertainment, and all the activities, Paniolo BBQ is an incredible value for the price! Dave does a wonderful job sharing the fascinating history of Hawaii's cattle industry and the paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) heritage. It's entertaining, educational, and adds something truly special to the experience. This is an event for the whole family! There's two-stepping, cornhole, horseshoes, s'mores, stargazing, and plenty of good old-fashioned fun. Whether you're dancing, playing games, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, there's something for everyone. The food is plentiful, the hospitality is wonderful, and the entire evening feels like a genuine Hawaiian ranch experience. Don't just visit Hawaii's beaches--experience its cowboy country!
