12 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kapaa

“Love Paniolo. Great atmosphere, food & especially the live music.“

“Best ribs I’ve eaten ever…thanks Mike! We missed you LPK! 😁“

“Great barbecue! Everything was good, I especially liked the chicken. A member of our party is lactose intolerant, and there were no problems whatsoever with that, with no special requests or modifications required. The mac salad was great, and was lactose-free.“

“Good. Food flavor and portion sizes
Bad. None

This is a take away food place. There are tables you can use but they do not offer full table service. The lady at the counter was very nice and helpful providing information about the menu options.

We had chicken katsu and mochiko chicken. Both were clearly made fresh. The chicken katsu was very juicy but the mochiko was a bit dry, yet great flavor.

This is good for a meal on a budget if you stick to the sides instead of getting the main combo dishes.“

“FRIED CURRIED CHICKEN WINGS TO DIE FOR (the chickens did…)!!Small and hidden place off the Kuhio Hwy is SO easy to miss - but SOOOO phenomenal!!I’ll be back frequently for Dinner and lunch! Connected to Sensei Shushi (same owners) which opens in 15 minutes.Follow the local epicureans to this delightful Mecca - you will NOT be disappointed!!!“

“Delicious, well portioned and priced! Cheapest beers and cocktails to go you'll find around! Wish they were opened later but hopefully that will come! Highly recommend!“

“We actually stay at Princeville area & tired of how busy Hanalei area is. So decided to drive a little bit to more quiet area to enjoy dinner peacefully.
Totally worth the drive!
The place is clean, service is very fast & the foods are tasty!
My husband order BBQ Mixed Plate, come with white rice & macaroni salad - very tasty, the chicken is very tender, the beef a bit chewy but tastes good. He also got Thai boba milk tea.
I ordered Garlic Shrimp that comes with brown rice and salad. It’s so good & perfect portion for me! Love the light salad dressing they provide - sweet sour taste.
My toddler gets cheeseburger & able to finished almost the whole thing!
The place pretty small, has 2 tables inside that can sit 4 & 6 people, 2 tables outside & there’s like 4-5 bar seats against the wall.
Overall it’s a very good experience, very affordable price with big portion when you get the combo.
We’ve been wanting to try a place that’s more local vibes & this is definitely it is! They are pretty busy with mostly take out orders during our visit .. they are all seem to be local that live nearby.
Ivy - the cashier was very sweet & provides great service!
Definitely will come back & worth to try it out for whoever hasn’t try it out yet!“

“Friendly service and great food“

“I love coming to Garden Isle, your food is made to order hot & fresh. You either walk in or do a phone order. If you’re feeding a lot of people it’s best to do a phone order . All in all, the whole crew is amazing! I recommend Garden Isle BBQ & Chinese anytime .“

“Awesome food! Service was great and the 2 neighborhood dogs were so sweet!“
