This might have been the best, fastest, and most budget friendly meal we had. Two of us split a Huli Combo and half banana bread and everything was so good. It might be a tie between all four meats for best but honestly everything down to the BBQ sauce was delicious and we devoured it. The lady that took our order was so friendly and the food came out just in the time we walked over to the other table.

Stop in while on vacation. Food was amazing! We had the chicken, ribs and brisket. Chicken was tender and full of flavor. Brisket and rids had a great grill flavor and very tender. Would recommend to anyone.

Amazing food, kind people, reasonable prices. Just go!

It was a bit of a drive from Kua Bay, but totally worth it. We ordered a combo plate, getting the last ribs of the day with the rotisserie cooked BBQ chicken. Both were great. The Mac & cheese was rich, creamy and had a smoky flavor with bits of chicken throughout.

We liked the food so much, we ordered brisket, Mac & Cheese, corn bread and banana bread to take back to the resort for dinner. the brisket was some of the best I have ever tasted. The banana bread had whole bananas baked in, making it rich, flavorful and fruity. The cornbread was scrumptious.

They are only open Thursday and Friday. Go early for best selection. This is an outdoor open-air experience. There are picnic tables, but seating is limited.

Randy’s Huli Chicken and Ribs is hands down some of the BEST local food you’ll find in Kona! The chicken is perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and packed with smoky huli-huli goodness. The portion sizes are generous. This chicken plate in particular was for my Son's fundraiser.

The service is always friendly and fast, and the food tastes fresh off the grill. You can smell that ono BBQ aroma from down the street, and it’s just as good as it smells. If you’re craving authentic local flavor in Kona, this is a must-stop spot.

Highly recommend Randy’s for a hearty, delicious, and true Hawaiian plate lunch experience! 🌺🍗🍚

The briskets on Hawaiian rolls is exceptional, transcendent, beyond comprehension. An absolute must try, reason enough on its own to visit the big island. I will be back.

These guys have RUINED chicken for me.

I came here to have some chicken a few years ago. It was the absolute best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. I still think about the chicken til this day.

I cant even enjoy chicken in my home town anymore because it doesn’t compare to Randy’s.

If I ever travel to Big Island, the number 1 reason would be to get some huli chicken.
