7 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kailua Kona

“This place is legit! Awesome brisket and porkbelly.“

“The food here is delicious. Their barbecue short ribs and beef are delicious. The entrees are well seasoned and also plentiful. This place was a hidden gem that we happened to come across while on vacation. It wound up being the best cuisine on the island. They have an abundance of options that they can also cater for bigger events.“

“My son's a chef and we were celebrating a teenage birthday. Tried a risk on this new service and it was great. All the tools and seasonings and this great mango sauce. They Taught him how to cut and grill everything. Easy to find location. This is great! Highly recommend! We did it all in about 90 mins“

“Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow...
A small restaurant located in a food court at the Queen's Marketplace, 69-201 Waikōloa Beach Dr Ste. F3, Waikoloa Village, HI 96738
We tried the Moco Loco, which consisted of two eggs (any style) over two hamburger patties, over rice, and then covered with a rich and tasty gravy!
The little ones will love cubed SPAM in Ramen!
For a different take on SPAM, try the Musubi, a slice of SPAM over rice wrapped in seaweed. Not much atmosphere, but great food!
For dessert, you MUST try the Banana Lumpua, a banana wrapped in an egg roll, and then fried!“

“Fireart Cuisine has some of the best Asian food we have ever had! We are on a short visit to Hawaii, but we’ve already been there twice - the food is so good we had to come back! Both the beef and broccoli and the shrimp and broccoli have delicious flavor with perfectly cooked broccoli. The braised green beans and chicken (mild) was also delicious. And for desert, this was our first time ever trying fried ice-cream - delicious and so much fun! Staff are super kind and on the ball. Everyone seems to want to put out the best - for those who love great food, this little spot is an awesome find!“

“If you're looking for a great place to grab a bite before heading to the beach, this is a fantastic option. They offer a variety of mix-and-match choices. While the quality may not be top-notch, the marinade and seasoning are good, and the rice and salad are always enjoyable.

Oh, Pro tip: they have a lunch menu!“

“We were looking for some late evening food away from the main downtown area and decided to give this place a try. We ordered spam musubi, chicken wings, a BBQ mixed plate and a bento plate. Portions were great, the mac salad was the best we had tried all week, musubi was big and the meat and fish was flavorful. It was our favorite find of the week & a completely different vibe than what we had experienced the rest of the week. We took our food to go and ate back at our place. It was great. We'll definitely be back.“
