Joe’s Backyard BBQ Lunchwagon

We stopped at Joes on the way back from exploring the island, and I’m so glad we did! Not only is the BBQ delicious but Joe and his wife are wonderful to talk to! The bbq chicken was delicious, with a little spice and wonderful flavor. The beans and coleslaw were also outstanding. Don’t pass by Joe’s without stopping and eating. It’s a must have BBQ place to stop by on the island!

Joe's is easily the best southern BBQ on Oahu, possibly the state. Everything is great, tastes like authentic BBQ. I love the beans, Ribs, Brisket, hot links, mac and cheese, love it all. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Yum

This place is freaking amazing!!! Our family tried everything and it was all great!!! Owners are super friendly and nice!!! Recommend whole heartedly!!!

I have been here 5 years. I come often because of the food, the atmosphere but most importantly the people. Joe and his wife are extremely generous and awesome people. They have big hearts and great food. I recommend this to anyone coming to island by far the best bbq on the island. But also very good people to have a conversation with as well. Do yourself a favor and stop by. I'm thankful for good people and good food.

The pulled pork sandwich is absolutely out of this world. Moist, packed with flavor, and mouth watering. The hot links are equally as phenomenal. They're juicy and the perfect spice level. Joe and his wife were incredibly friendly and kind during the whole exchange. I look forward to going back again and again!

Worm i have been eating here at Joe's Barbecue for over 3 months. His food is outstanding and delicious. He and his wife are all about customer service and friendliness. I am not a fan of Mac and Cheese but the way Joe's Lunchwagon makes it is the bomb...

Keep up the awesome work and delicious plates.

Best fried catfish on island that I've tried.
Coleslaw is fresh - but I like it a little wetter.
Beans are canned.

BBQ sauce hits the spot.

Chicken was still raw. Coleslaw was good at least. For $12 you can get much bigger portions elsewhere.

Wonderful food, great prices, catfish sandwich, brisket, hot links and ribs. Visited from Austin. The owner promised delicious food. They delivered. You have to visit- when you are in Hawaii. It is definitely worth the trip?

The food here in Hawaii is great, but being from the south and loving southern-style smoked barbecue, I've really been missing the taste. Joe's BBQ lunch wagon help me get my nostalgia fix lol. The ribs were properly smoked and tender without falling apart like mush like some places. I enjoyed the baked beans and roll. I would have like the coleslaw more but it has some spice in it - red pepper maybe? Not saying it was inedible or I wouldn't necessarily try it again, spicy is just not my thing. The chicken looks very good I definitely want to try that sometime as well. They also have a band play in front of the food trucks some days which was pretty cool. Joe and his wife seem like nice people as well and were very friendly.
