About Hana Hawaiian BBQ

Hana Hawaiian BBQ is a popular roadside stop along the Road to Hāna, known for its smoked BBQ. The smell of the barbecue is famously enticing. They serve Huli Huli chicken and pork ribs, which are described as smoky, flavorful, juicy, tender, and moist, with a perfect amount of bark from the smoke. The plates come with simple mixed vegetables and a big scoop of rice, which are delicious, especially with available soy sauce and other sauces. Portions are consistently noted as generous, giant, hearty, and plenty for two or even three people to share.

The service is repeatedly praised as super friendly, wonderful, quick, and welcoming, with staff exhibiting great big smiles and a warm attitude. The owner, often seen BBQing, seems really friendly and passionate. There is plenty of outdoor seating where you can see the grilling. The spot is located toward the end of the Road to Hāna, right next to other food spots and a gift shop. While considered a really expensive place by some and good enough to hold you over, it is widely recommended as a perfect stop for tourists, a must-eat spot, easily the best meal of a trip, and worth the stop and the wait.

Had both their chicken and ribs on the road to Hana and I'm so glad we stopped. Not only was the chicken delicious, but the ribs were utterly incredible! Huge, juicy, full of flavor, and amazingly tender, these genuinely were some of the best ribs I've ever had. Highly, highly recommend

Great Hawaiian plate lunch in a beautiful setting on the road to Hana. Open pit bbq using Hawaiian mesquite that gives an amazing flavor to the chicken and ribs. Friendly folks running the joint too—a must stop for the trip to Hana!

If you are planning to drive the Road to Hana, be sure to stop at Hana Hawaiian BBQ in Upper Nahiku at Mile Marker 29! These guys make some delicious food, and they are all so kind! The ribs are some of the best I have had (and I’m from the Midwest where BBQ is a staple! 😂) Aloha! 🌸🏝️

DON’T FORGET TO BRING YOUR CASH, though! No signal for electronic credit card payments!!
