I was at the Maui Food Trucks of Kihei lot and although we had already ordered dinner, we couldn't pass up the chance to try a new food truck. There's a number of other trucks on the lot, but the smell of smoked meats made it impossible not to stop at Sol Brothers BBQ. Their menu covers all the bases--slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, jerk chicken, hearty sandwiches, and classic Southern sides. We ordered the brisket plate, and it was seriously loaded. The brisket came sliced thick with just the right amount of smoky bark and was tender enough to pull apart with a fork. Flavor-wise, it was rich and deeply smoky without being overpowering. On the side, the mac n' cheese was creamy and indulgent with that homestyle comfort food feel, while the BBQ beans were bold, slightly spicy, and had just the right touch of sweetness. Portion sizes were generous too--we could have easily shared and still left full. What makes Sol Brothers extra special is that it's a family-owned truck bringing a taste of Alabama BBQ all the way to Maui. The family's warmth shows through not only in the food, but in the service too. It's Southern hospitality with island vibes, and was a great spot to grab a bite. If you find yourself in Kihei, this spot is a must-try. Just come with an appetite, because the plates don't hold back.

I'm not use to food trucks serving such amazing food and was pleasantly surprised. We split the ribs, rice, salad and a small mac-n- cheese for dinner. The rib sauce had a nice balance of both smoky and sweet which balanced nicely with the salad dressing. The ribs were very tender and fell off the bone. The mac-n-cheese was very creamy and had a little hint of spice to it. We indulged in ribs at the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook- Off in Northern Nevada and this place could easily be a perfect contender. The cashier was also vey friendly and personable and the food came out quickly.

No stone was left unturned.

Leave no stone unturned--this BBQ spot is the real deal. The southern BBQ flavors were incredible, and my lunch hit every note. The brisket tasted like true Texas cooking but better--super tender, beautifully marbled, and not a dry bite in sight. The BBQ sauce was uniquely delicious (I don't even like BBQ sauce and still wanted more). The fried rice with sausage was perfect. My only personal note: the cabbage was a bit heavy on seasoning and peppers for my taste, but still had that southern flair. Overall, everything was absolutely scrumptious . I didn't plan to leave a review, but the food was so good I had to--hence the title. 10/10, would order again and again.

Smoked baby back ribs, rice, kale salad and baked beans

The BBQ is incredible! The sides of baked beans and Mac n cheese the best you ever have had. Ribs are fall off the bone tender. Don't miss it!

Jerk chicken entrée
Rina C.

My husband and I had a food tasting of several food trucks for dinner tonight. We tried the jerk chicken entrée at Sol Brother's Southern Barbecue today, and it was a good choice! The chicken was moist, and the sauce had a nice touch of heat that added great flavor. The beans leaned slightly on the sweet side but were still tasty. The rice, however, could've been cooked a little longer, as it was a bit al dente. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable, which added to the overall experience. The food truck setup in Kihei is always a treat, especially around sunset. There are plenty of tables, and it wasn't too crowded, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal.

Smoked Brisket plate, baked beans & mac n cheese

Was craving some good BBQ and Sol Brothers delivered!! We got a smoked brisket plate & brisket sandwich with mac n cheese and beans as sides. Not only were the flavors perfect, the portions were perfect for my family of 3. Felt like we totally got our moneys worth, and as a foodie I TRULY enjoyed everything. The customer service was impeccable and they were very quick. Highly recommend

BBQ Mac and Cheese (@miguelmoralesphotography on Instagram)

Got their BBQ Mac and Cheese sandwich and it paired well with the chips and pickle that came with it! It was a full-bodied smoky flavor mixed in with the savory cheese flavor, would definitely recommend as a visit if you're in the Azeka area! - Miguel Morales Photography

We got our picture with the fabulous owner!

The owner was hilarious. She made our evening. The jerk chicken and BBQ chicken were moist and delicious. Thank you!

We had the barbecue pork plate, enough for two people, maybe even three! Have it with the mac & cheese and beans super delicious

The food and service was amazing. Family owned business you don't wanna miss when you're in Kihei.

Smoked plate & 2 smoked rib sandwiches
Aalyah K.

Ordered bbq rib plate & rib sandwiches (comes with chips), honestly it's always consistent with flavor and tenderness.

Jerk chicken bowl

Ate here twice during a recent visit to Maui! Highly recommend! I had the jerk chicken bowl! The first time it was everything I was craving and more! The chicken (we will call it a jerk bbq) was tender and delicious, over some creamy mac and cheese and some of the best baked beans I have ever had! The second time I was served by a different person other than the couple that said they own the food truck; this time it was an older woman, and I ordered the same thing. But to my surprise when I got home, there was no mac and cheese, instead it was chicken with rice and some baked beans! Though disappointed with that, I'm still giving it a 5 stars because have to give credit where credit is due!

They have lots of things, though. There was a yoga session happening in the middle lawn area. They have a butterfly area, even though the butterflies were somewhere else. There is an aging tortoise, I forget his name. There are also different businesses in the buildings, like a spa and a salon. There are different small vendors with their booths and several food trucks; although, some were not open in the morning and the Thai food truck had all their items sold out on their menu already. The prices were even more pricier than the food trucks at Maui Food Trucks. One vendor had hand crafted desserts for $20/piece! I admired from afar, haha. Everything is advertised as "farm to table" maybe justifying their prices. We shared an acai bowl and it was mid. The the peanut butter was just scraped on the side of the bowl. Our typical acai bowls at least put the peanut/almond butter in the middle like any other topping so you can get an even bite with everything. But the dallop of peanut butter just on the side, it was like we ordered peanut butter on the side of our acai bowl. It was weird. I bet it's more alive at night with more food trucks open and live music. We came and saw and didn't come back. I can see how it can be great for families with toddlers running around, giving them a safe space to burn their energy. Until then, this probably won't be the top of our list.

The area is lush with lots of plants and there a many vendors along the path where you can pick up a souvenir or gift to take home with you. The trucks offer a lot of different dishes to experience, my favorite being the one that sold Hawaiian plates, e.g. Kalua Pork and mac. It's a great place to stop by, relax and chill after a hard day of adventures. Surrounding parking is easy and plentiful. The area to the back of the lots has lots of parking space.

I stopped by here yesterday for lunch. Sun's Out Buns Out is located in a food truck pod, so I did…read morenot realize exactly where I was going until I saw all of the trucks. The truck itself is fun, painted with bright tropical colors and scenes, and they seem to be known for their loaded tots and bao buns. I placed my order on the touchscreen outside and then sat down to wait for my food. For lunch on this day I went with the buffalo chicken tots and the Island Piggy bao. The menu described the bao as kalua pork, BBQ sauce, tropical salsa, and pickled red onions. The buffalo chicken tots were described as buttermilk fried chicken, buffalo sauce, jack cheddar cheese, house made pickles, and ranch dressing. It took less than 10 minutes for my food to be ready and I sat down at one of the shaded picnic tables. When I opened everything up it all looked good, but I did notice that the tots were missing the house made pickles. I started with the bao and thought it was pretty good. The kalua pork was super juicy and the bao bun was light and fluffy while still holding together well. The pickled onions added a nice acidity and the tropical salsa brought good flavor. The only thing I did not notice much was the BBQ sauce. After that I dug into the tots. The tots themselves were cooked nicely with a crispy outside and soft inside. The chicken was good as well with a nice batter and the buffalo sauce added flavor while the cheese was gooey. The only thing worth noting is that the chicken was softer than expected and not very crispy. It worked since I did have the texture from the crispy tots, but it stood out. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I would probably not order both a bao and tots again as it was a lot of food, but I would definitely come back for one or the other.

If you see this truck, do not skip it.

I called and asked them for directions and they actually guided us. They were also really patient in explaining the menu to us and explaining the different types of fish and what not. Really glad we were patient and actually came here! Such a lovely aesthetic to the whole area and the food. Oh my goodness!!! The burst of flavor in everything was phenomenal! Such unique combinations and everything was so fresh and cooked so well and just mind blowing! Husband and I kept saying how we should have just gone there multiple times for food! Mahi Mahi Bento bowl with Ono instead. (It has Crispy Sushi Rice / Black Garlic / Market Vegetables) I really have no words to see how good this combination was! I was actually a little full going into dinner but ended up actually wiping this whole plate clean! The food was that good! Husband got the Roasted Organic Chicken With Coconut with Coconut Carrot Curry and Roasted Vegetables. Very different vibe from my item but also really delicious. Heat thoroughly enjoyed this one! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the carrot coconut curry combination with the vegetables and the chicken was lovely. He kept some leftovers for the next day because the chicken portion size was quite huge and we enjoyed it even the next day! Seaweed salad was also delicious! Super fresh and tasty!

I'm not sure I've had, or will have, a better meal on Maui. It was named one of the top local spots last year, and that recognition feels completely deserved. Set at the far end of South Maui Gardens, the outdoor seating gives it a relaxed but special ambiance. For our 30th anniversary, my wife and I shared the smoked tomahawk steak family-style, along with black garlic roasted rice, pickled carrots and onions, and a roasted vegetable medley with a beautiful spice mix. Every bite was outstanding -- perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. We finished with the lilikoi meringue pie, which was just as impressive and a perfect way to end the meal. Maui has some incredible dining experiences, and Kitoko stands comfortably among the very best -- food truck or not. If you're looking for a truly memorable dinner on the island, don't miss this one.

There are a bunch of tables in the middle of the circled wagons, but we decided to take our food back to our condo to enjoy because of the fly problem like most food truck stands.

But even still, some prices were hard to justify. I ordered food from Vidad's local grindz which seemed to be the most affordable with generous portions.

It was satisfying and I was able to feed my infant some of the cooked veggies too! Win-win! As far as the environment, there are lots of chickens running around. If you don't mind them, they won't mind you. We even saw some mating going on, hehe. There are also some photo props for light entertainment. Tables are somewhat clean if the people before you clean up after themselves. Plenty of garbage space for your trash too. Parking lot is dark at night as there are no lights in the open area.
