Excellent food. And as a girl who typically loves her Texas barbecue, I’m very particular when it comes to grilled and smoked meats. These guys know how to do it. Top notch! Great sauces too!And best of all, kind and friendly employees. Will be back for sure!

The BBQ chicken was very moist. Probably the best I've ever had. The smokey flavor really came through. The bbq sauce was nice and tangy.

Pulled pork is really good. Lots of covered seats. Sometimes they are open even on Sundays.

Super tender chicken breast. Spicy bbq isn't spicy and is pretty sweet. Pathetic salad esp for $14, def skip this. Sweet potato fries looked SO good but I didn't try them. Reasonable prices for chicken. Would return.

Very well could’ve been the best piece of chicken I’ve put in my mouth. And I eat A LOT of chicken. This was fall off the bone. The definition of juicy and flavorful. Like nothing I’ve ever had before. Ribs were top notch as well. 10/10.

We drove out of the way to come here on someone’s recommendation. However, when we arrived they had a sign up saying they closed at 2:00 pm that day.

Food was OK. Chicken and rice were the best part. Pulled pork was burned. Service was good though.

They were out of chicken. Of all things chicken. It is chicken in a barrel. The food was ok nothing spectacular. Service was great but again no chicken.

My wife and I loved this place! The chicken was perfect 10/10. The service was on point! The owner is very respectful, and interacts with everybody with the same good energy! Overall, this place is great and definitely recommended!

The service was great. The place has small sitting bars, seems like people take the food outside at the tables but my family and I decided to eat it at the bar because there were too many roosters and flies outside (which is normal in Kauai). The food was average. The chicken wasn't juicy at all tho. All the meats, the chicken and the ribs were dry over all with less fat. We were there for the chicken but the fries was the best out of all three dishes. I wouldn't recommend the chicken. I don't think I would go back for the second time tho.

Each of the meats were great -- moist, flavorful, tender.The BBQ sauce (happily, on the side) wasn't amazing. Sweet but no body.The servers were yelling out names for orders. That was a bit loud.
