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.

As a seasoned chef with a discerning palate, I must commend Joe's Backyard BBQ for their exceptional food and tantalizing sauce flavors. Joe's culinary prowess truly shines through in every succulent bite of their perfectly smoked and expertly grilled meats.The aroma that wafts from the grill is nothing short of intoxicating, drawing in patrons from far and wide with the promise of a truly unforgettable dining experience. Each bite reveals a symphony of flavors that dance on the taste buds, showcasing his dedication to crafting barbecue perfection.But what truly sets Joe apart is the heavenly sauce. The rich, smoky, and perfectly balanced flavors of their signature sauce elevate every dish to new heights of deliciousness. Whether slathered generously on ribs, drizzled over pulled pork, or used as a dipping sauce for juicy brisket, da sauce is a culinary masterpiece that leaves a lasting impression. A culinary gem that delights the senses and satisfies the soul. If you're in search of a barbecue experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further than Joe's. Your taste buds will thank you for the journey into barbecue bliss that awaits.

Great bbq spot - ribs and chicken were flavorful, and the sides of beans and coleslaw were just as good. And very friendly service!

Thank God I used the Google Maps app to search for food after visiting Pearl Harbor and found this place. First, Joe is a delete to speak with. Kind, friendly, good story teller. Double-checked to ensure we liked spicy food because the spicy sausage was indeed “en fuego”. I ordered the ribs and a sausage to try. So thankful I did. Flavor explosion and then a very nice kick.The ribs fell off the bone when I picked it up. Perfect amount of smoke, although Joe said he left them a bit too long for his own taste. Also just the right amount of BBQ sauce. Just enough that it didn’t take away from the meat flavor. Good sweetness to it. The big surprise was the coleslaw. Some of the best I’ve had.This place was well worth the price and a damned gem on O’ahu!

Found them online while driving back to Waikiki. Great bbq eats. Bought the mixed plate and rib plate. Beans delish with pieces of bacon. Coke slaw crunchy and spicy. Solid meal. Ribs fall off the bone with great sauce. Tasty. Ribilicous said my son.
