The double cheeseburger and ginger steamed fish with scallions never fail. The owner is very nice, prices are great, & the restaurant is clean inside. It's not a flashy place that would attract people, but this place has good food. I look forward to trying other menu items. I recommend everyone try this local hidden gem.

Can't believe I've walked past the only decent lunch in Aina Haina shopping center for almost two years without ONCE stopping in to try it. Its a pretty unassuming, plain interior. Faded photos and handwritten signs, but clean and well-kept. Menu has a pretty broad variety, mostly the standard plate lunch staples plus burgers, fries, and breakfast. We got the BBQ plate (teri beef, bbq chicken, kalbi) and a lemon chicken plate. Both regular size. Prices are really fair, mix plate was like $15 and most of the single choices were just under $12, and despite that the portions were pretty generous. I had almost half a plate for lunch tomorrow. Most importantly, the food was fresh and overall pretty good. Kalbi and teri beef were tasty, satisfying but the teri was a little chewy. BBQ Chicken was the highlight, super good! Lemon chicken: good, borderline over-sauced though. It did start to get soggy, and it could use a little bit of spice like some pepper or chili. Also, despite not being a huge mac salad liker, it was good! I actually finished it. Overall, I will probably be back if we're in the area around lunch/dinnertime again. At least to try those burgers!

Excellent experiences at BBQ town. They star of the show for us were the Teri beef burgers. Such an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Also pictured on another occasion was the short rib mini plate which as you can see is enough for at least one meal if not two. I called ahead for both our orders and picked up. The staff is super friendly. The prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely recommend visiting!

Always LOVE eating there. We buy from there several times a week. Much better than L&L or Loco Moco. Great prices, portions, taste, & service. Will not disappoint. Highly RECOMMEND

Their burgers are made with homemade patties. My suggestion would be to get the double cheeseburger with extra cheese. Their seafood combo plate looks really good, think i'll have that next. The best advice I can give you is to call in your order, do a load of laundry, fold it, and then pick up your order. You will thank me later lol. All kidding aside, I'm pretty sure they are doing a lot of takeout, so don't be fooled by the empty seating. The people are very friendly. I enjoy BBQ Town, it reminds me of a mom/pops restaurant. Very affordable!

i did not order anything else from BBQ Town solely because the chicken katsu hooked me sO MUCH when i got it. had to have the dish two more times while in hawai'i, which says a lot. they give huge portions (enough for lunch and dinner), and i'm absolutely in love with the macaroni salad. the chicken and rice are equally amazing. highly highly recommend checking it out!!
Business is very slow!! Ordered hamburger steak and took 35 minutes. When I ate it outside the inner hamburger was cold, no taste. I asked the cashier if the sweet sour ribs was soft, told her my client have dentures and her reply was order it and try it!! Not the answer I was expecting. She was also very rude..

What a gem! We ordered the chicken katsu and it was crispy and not over cooked or hard. The katsu sauce was on par. I also ordered a BBQ chicken plate and it was savory and well cooked.Next time I'll be trying their burgers since I've now heard about them.The cashier is a very nice lady and very helpful when I did my ordering.The place is nice and clean and the prices are good.I'll definitely be coming back often.

We were in the area and decided to give this place a try. Wasn't too hungry so just tried a cheeseburger deluxe and large fries. Food came out to under $10 which a great value and pretty rare these days. The burger is homemade (as expected) and tasty. But the reason I had to leave a review is because of the fries!! THE FRIES ARE SOO GOOD! They're cooked correctly. Crunchy, golden brown and seasoned. You'd think crunchy fries should be common but it seems like every other plate lunch place I've been to post covid has forgotten how to cook fries lol. Was so over having undercooked, soggy fries.Glad we tried this place. Next time we'll try some plate lunches
