    Pulled pork sandwich, Mac n cheese, kale salad, and side of slaw
    Meg C.

    The BBQ is good, but the service is A+, truly very friendly, thoughtful people working here. I don't think I've ever been to a disc golf / BBQ joint before, so points for that novelty. The disc golf component was actually the selling point for my partner - he was looking for a new driver and the shop had a great variety to choose from. An employee who I think was Uncle D (his 'stache matched their branding) was really knowledgeable in helping my partner choose a new disc. As for the food, the pulled pork sandwich (more like a sub, it was a big boy) and the two sides of mac n cheese and kale were tasty and a great value. My meal weighed like 2 lbs, I was so full afterwards. They also have a great selection of beers and ciders that are very reasonably priced. I wanted something not too sweet and Hawaiian, and was steered towards a very refreshing lilikoi cider. This was a random hidden gem that I'm happy we stumbled upon while driving through Lihue, check them out!

    Easy pick up BBQ with excellent flavor and large portions! We ate at the tables in the shopping center. They had a huge variety of beers and other non-alcoholic drinks. My husband and I got the pulled pork Mac n cheese boat (spicy). Lots of meat and delicious! Mac n cheese wasn't the best but complimented the meat well. My daughter got the pulled chicken buffalo chicken sandwich. She said it was really good!

    Really good KC style bbq here on Kauai. I had a pulled pork sandwich spicy, with a kale salad and Mac and cheese. Loved it. The pulled pork was just as good without the bun as with! That is the test of great pulled pork. The kale salad and Mac and cheese were both great sides. I had slaw on my sandwich wich was a great addition. My wife had the Philly- she loved it too. I didn't try. She said the beans were top notch. Great place by the Marriott/Royal Sonesta on Kalapaki Beach!

    This BBQ was amazing! They offer a bunch of beers, Ayres and there as well so I was able to pick up a drink on getting. Everyone there was very nice and the portions are generous.

    Mac salad was best we had on the island

    We were in a pinch trying to get to the airport and were in the mood for Hawaiian BBQ and stumbled across this store - which is a compilation of a restaurant, liquor store and surf shop. It was good, but there are no modifications that were permitted to the meals. It is very basic as it is a one-man shop. I prefer access to condiments, etc when I eat and would have loved options. The food also takes a while to get as again, one person is working there. It is great if you have time and are not a picky eater.

    Not sure if the gentleman that helped us was uncle D, but he was super cool and friendly. Both sandwiches were off the hook as well the sides. Baked beans, macaroni salad, and kale salad was a great pair with the smoky BBQ sandwiches. Definitely worth the drive!

    They might be open, but they only serve food during certain hours. I guess you need to call even if they say they are open.

So in looking through Yelp we saw Richie's. Since it is a food truck we were not sure exactly where it was. After reviewing the most recent reviews we saw it was right down the street where we were staying. It was in the area by Haole Girl Island Sweets. Everyone mentioned getting there early as the close once they sellout. They usually have the Huli Huli Chicken on Friday and Saturday but check to see. Quite a few people were already seated at the picnic table when we arrived around 11:30am. We were greeted right away and ordered the half chicken with macaroni salad and a roll. We stood by the grill area looking at all the good food being prepared. Smelled like heaven. When we got our food we were amazed at how much was there. Large portions. They serve it with a pineapple white sauce that is so tasty. The macaroni salad was good as well. Also some white rice on the side. Best chicken we have had in a while. Thanks to Richie! Check you out next time in town. We saw a red food truck so turned into the parking lot. You could smell the bbq cooking.

The prices are very reasonable! We probably saved $3-10 off each plate coming from Maui. My dad got the LauLau Plate and said the meat was soft and moist and my mom NEVER annihilates her food and she literally ate every bite of her Steamed Fish which was Catfish today. It had this yummy soy or sesame sauce with some green onions and ginger on top. My Oxtail Soup with Rice was perfect for the cold rainy day. Delicious pieces of fall off the bone oxtail and I literally dumped all the cilantro and ginger in the hot broth. Mom and I had a bit of a fuzzy throat so we got the Calamansi Juice with Honey which was delicious! As you sip, you taste pieces of Calamansi and see swirls of seeds and calamansi skin. If you like pulp, you'd enjoy this refreshing drink. We ended the meal with 4 pieces of hot egg tarts! I'm surprised they had them because when I go to Oahu, there's some spots where you special order them on the weekends. Overall, a delicious local spot here in Lihue!

    While researching places to eat on Kauai, there is just too much. But after watching a few videos…read moreon different social media platforms, it was pretty much the same. I grew up in Hawaii and just wanted to experience the classics. Kauai Diner fulfilled this wish. Initially, I planned for Kauai Diner as our first stop for lunch when we landed as it is less than 10-minutes from the airport. However, my sisters weren't hungry for lunch at the time. On our last day, we decided to stay near the airport area and that's when we were able to have brunch here. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and in fact looks small. However, upon entering, this is a really big restaurant with several large booths. This is definitely a family oriented restaurant. The booth we were sat at could comfortably seat 8-people. The menu is a mix of Chinese, Filipino and Hawaii-style mixed plates. So much to choose from. Sister 1 got her usual lau lau and quietly finished her meal first. Sister 2 got steamed ginger fish that she enjoyed. And she was warned it would take 20-mins which she was fine with. Last sister and I shared a burger that was good but not as good as Kenji's, ramen that warmed our belly's, chives pancake that was just ok. And what helped us find Kauai Diner was the ube pancake. Not sure why and had experienced at other places, ube pancake was ok but the ube syrup was really good and 4-sister approved. The staff here are helpful and really nice. Prices fair and restaurant had a lot of natural lighting, plenty of large windows. If I lived here, this would be one of my favs. 5-stars for this experience.

We stopped by on a Tuesday around 8:30AM and got our pick of malasadas to try out! Kauai Bakery is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of ample parking, making it very easy to stop by and grab some delicious pastries. Service is like your typical bakery, you pick what you would like and they get it to you so you can stuff your face immediately after purchase. Ambiance is cozy with plenty of pastries to pick from in the large display case. We got 4 flavors of Malasadas for $16, which is $4 per doughnut, which I think is a decent price for the size and heft. The flavors we sampled were Lilikoi, Coconut, and Guava - out of these flavors, the coconut one was my personal favorite! The flavor was exactly what I would want anything coconut cream flavor should taste, creamy texture with a pleasant coconut taste that didn't taste artificial at all. It captured the floral background taste that is missing from a lot of coconut desserts that makes coconut so pleasing to eat! The Lilikoi one was my next favorite, it had a slight tartness and a more subtly pronounced flavor - I think I was looking for something stronger personally. Lastly was the guava one, which actually tasted a bit artificial and didn't have a pronounced flavor at all, which was unfortunate. Despite this critique, I would still glady inhale 2 or 3 of them because the dough was really pillowy and really enjoyable to eat. I think that the pastries here (at least the malasadas) are very solid and priced competitively vs most things here on Kauai. I would totally come back to get several more of the malasadas as well as try the other pastry options on the menu. Stop by and give this bakery a try if you are in the area!
