11 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kealakekua

“FANTASTIC, DO NOT MISS!!!!!“

“Love their food and great portions for the money. I’ve recommended it to others and they’ve enjoyed it as well.“

“This place is amazing, the prices are incredible. All of this meat, 2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad for 14.99!!! The meat is so tender and deliciously marinated. Simple, small seating area but so worth it for a quick, inexpensive, DELICIOUS meal in Kona especially if you’re not trying to spend $30 a meal every time you go out to eat!“

“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!“

“Always a great option for families with finicky eaters due to the large number of options available.

Parking: Open lot in front of building with plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Great finger food options, TV in dining area if you choose to dine-in, restroom adjacent.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs here at all.“

“L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is my go-to for a taste of the islands. I also highly recommend the Chicken Katsu; it's always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious katsu sauce on the side. The mac salad is a must-have, and it really completes the classic plate lunch experience. The food is consistently good and a great option for a hearty, satisfying meal.“

“Food o Hawaii is by far the best delivery service. Noah is the best as well!!“

“We've been coming here pretty regularly when we make our annual trek to the Big Island.
Their 'BBQ' chicken (what I call teriyaki chicken) is tasty, well prepared. Not a big fan of the beef which is VERY thinly slices beef.
I ordered the Chicken Wings this last trip, they were fantastic! I will get them again.
Served with a couple scoops of steamed rice and OF COURSE, the yummy yummy mac salad.
Service here was very friendly, efficient.
Plastic to-go containers make me sad. Oddly enough it seems environmental concerns have taken a back seat here in Hawaii, they were making good strides pre-COVID.“

“Rolled up randomly a Monday night, we were the only ones but that made it even more fun. They had 3 HUGE books of songs to choose from. Staff was friendly and pricing wasn't bad. When I swing through Kona again I will definitely stop by.“

“Best value. Good portions. Great taste. The gravy is delicious. Many dishes to choose from. Very affordable. Friendly service. Tables and chairs are a beautiful wood design but the venue is lacking in general. More of a take home vibe since there is no table service or waiters.“
