“I ordered a large catering order for a company event. The food was all ready exactly on time and they helped load it into my car. The food was all delicious and the “party trays” that I ordered came with additional food that I didn’t even know about and was pleasantly surprised to receive. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Many employees were asking where I got the food from because it was so delicious. I would definitely order from here again.“

“Really great food. Cool building. The Classic Burger was Classic. Friendly staff. 5 star!“

“best slap yo momma bbq around.“

“Our large (12+) party enjoyed a wonderful lunch today. My lunch included a smoked pulled pork sandwich and Texas wedge potatoes. This large sandwich was filled with pulled pork and included a small cup of slaw that I placed on top of the pork, Memphis style - excellent BBQ flavor and texture! I also sampled the tasty cornbread with honey butter. The service was on point with everyone getting individual checks. Highly recommend!“

“First off the staff was smiling, attentive and not on their phones. The latte was perfection frothed, the espresso was delicious as was the little biscotti that was served with it. Facility was clean, moderately busy, I was able to get a table right away. I watched the staff and they were all so engaged in their work and the guests. Food was piping hot, perfectly seasoned. Eggs were poached perfect, sauce was not only not broken but seasoned slightly with Paprika for color. The pastry counter was spotless and their offered look fresh and inviting. Kudos to this place all around!! Its close to the freeway and parking is easy peasy.“

“These have to be the best ribs I’ve had in a long time.“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“The food here is delicious! 😋 You will walk away satisfied, happy and planning your next return date!“

“It’s rare I’m impressed with smoked bbq but the food was really good! Very impressed. In my opinion much better than the previous places that were here before. Definitely be back soon! Gabe 4 start for atmosphere only because there isn’t much else going on here to give it 5 stars.“

“My wife and I are big fans of Kinders—we come in every week. I always get the customized loaded tots, and she goes for the Cali chicken club sandwich. The plain salted fries are also outstanding, especially since they’re cooked in tallow instead of seed oils. The fry sauce is genuinely one of the best I’ve had. What really sets the place apart for us is Mikey. He’s the only server we go to! He’s friendly, attentive, offers good suggestions, and consistently makes the experience better. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile, which is rare. He deserves recognition for that and a raise!“

“Sooo sooo good! Great Service“

“If you ever decide to eat here. I hope you get Jerry as a server. Hands down he gave the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Jerry was exceptionally attentive, kept our table smiling, and managed a busy rush with total smoothness and great energy. Excellent service all around! Would totally recommend my friends and family to eat at Daikon.“

“Great local bbq/deli/meat market. You can get any type of meat from raw brisket, their famous marinated ball tip, I've even seen gator for sale here before. They also have packages that are great if you're going camping that will contain eggs and other protein so you can pay one price and head out. They make one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Not into meat? They also have salad options and seasoned fries in various flavors. The staff is very friendly as well as knowledgeable and will gladly assist you with any questions.“

“Excited to have another Hawaiian bbq restaurant to add to our rotation. L&L is always consistent with generous portions, good flavor, and healthy options. The service at this particular location is great, it’s small but the folks behind the counter are always friendly and the service is always quick.“

“Minus asking for a tip & the POS system putting it in automatically unless you tap something else like No Tip for just taking my order
The food is always good & the staff are friendly. Tables are always clean & there is a nice outdoor patio“

“It’s all good very good barbecue sauce so tasty“

“This Hawaiian restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The service was fast, friendly, and made us feel like ohana. The menu offered a great selection, and everything we ordered was delicious. The luau-style ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the coconut shrimp had the perfect crunch with a hint of sweetness. The ambiance was magical, with soft lighting, Polynesian decor, and just the right amount of island music to set the mood. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a casual night out, this spot is perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin & cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.“

“Been going to this location frequently and every time it’s been great. Very fast and friendly service. BBQ chicken is freshly made and perfectly seasoned every time. Nice cuts of meat. No fat. Very clean restaurant. Small dining room but they do have outdoor tables as well. Turn over of tables is pretty fast. If I’ve wanted to sit it’s never been an issue. If you want a view while you eat, drive down the hill and park at 9th street or the Benicia Pier and enjoy your meal.“

“If you're looking for incredible BBQ and top-tier service, Kinder's is the spot.
The ball tip sandwich was out of this world—perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. We also got the three-meat combo paired with chili beans, potato salad, and mac & cheese. Every single side hit the mark, but the mac & cheese and chili beans were absolute standouts.
Huge shoutout to Robert, who took our order. His service was awesome, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“So very delicious. I got a plate with Ribs, coleslaw and Hush puppies. I am going to be thinking about The Flavor of the ribs until I go back again. Also Looking forward to trying other side dishes next time. The staff was great and checked I had everything before I left.“

“The best brisket dog! It was perfectly seasoned, smoky, and juicy. The sauce paired so well that it doesn’t even need your traditional hot dog condiments! I found whole mustard seeds throughout adding a depth of flavor that paired well with the smokiness! I regret not getting a second“

“Sandwiches, Ribs, Steaks, Deli Salads, Marinated Tri Tips and more.“

“There was an important item left out of my order last night. But when I went back today, the Asst Manager Brandon went over the top. He really hooked me up. Their food is good, but their service and attitude is the best!“

“Our experience with Kinders catering was a 10! The food was delicious! Everyone THANKED US for great food at a wedding! The ribs, lime chicken, and potato salad were huge hits. Ryan and his staff were great to work with! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next event, and consider for a wedding and make everyone happy!“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“Overall, I enjoy the food. And portions are pretty good. The one downside is their shrimp tempura. It’s basically fried dough and it’s tough. Everything else i enjoy. I recommend the chicken that is not fried/breaded chicken“

“yes I do Jess about server Jess was amazing Xtra then normal she makes sure we have a great experience no bs for sure amazing jess.mn“

“This restaurant needs to be rated much higher! I've used them 3 times for family gatherings and they've been great. I usually order about 5 trays of meats, macaroni salad (get extra - so good), and some musubis. Everything is delicious and hot, and service is fantastic.“

“Just went last Week and I went in feeling stupid trying to pull off a last minute get-together for a valued staff member at my dialysis treatment center and 15-18 other staff members. I came out very educated, because not only did they have the prices, clearly indicated, on the wall, they also had the small, medium and large aluminum family/Party size pans (shown on wall) to put the combo I purchased, in. I requested, but didn't need a Manager. The Cashier was fully knowledgeable about what I was stumbling and stammering over. That took 5 minutes, including payment for the order, (with her suggestion) after telling her what I needed it for.? She requested 20 minutes to prepare and I was on my way to the venue, in less, taking altogether a half hour. ? The meat was done and It was a hit!!!! They ARE a Great solution for last minute, especially when Grocery stores and caterers ask for 2 days! Marvelous job and I chose them for a Seafood combo and Loca Moco dish 2 days later, on Saturday. ??

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian selection. My Grandson is a Pescatarian. The Atmosphere is better than most and it is definitely ADA compliant.

Kid-friendliness: My Granddaughter is always in there for the Chicken teriyaki Masubis“
