About Chunky Paniolo | Food Truck

Chunky Paniolo | Food Truck offers a variety of hearty and flavorful dishes that make it a popular spot despite mixed reviews. The restaurant is especially known for its prime rib, which many customers find tender, juicy, and generously portioned. The prime rib sandwich features sliced prime rib with cheese, sautéed onions, and au jus on bread, often served with seasoned fries and large portions of potato mac salad, which can be shared. The au jus sauce is highly praised, described as tasting like the nectar of the gods. While some prefer their prime rib a little less done, overall, it offers good value for the price, especially compared to other options on Maui. The menu also includes other favorites like pork ribs and pulled pork, which are consistently praised for their tenderness and flavor, with the ribs being described as the best on Maui. Customers enjoy the super tender, juicy ribs with sweet and tangy sauce, often taking leftovers for lunch. The mac salad, especially the one with mayo, is better than many others on the island, and the coleslaw and side salad with Greek dressing are noted for being fresh and flavorful. For children, there are options like chicken strips and fries, though portion sizes can be large. The food truck is located in a food truck park with a gravel surface, which may pose challenges for wheelchair accessibility, and the tables may be dirty, so wipes are recommended. Overall, visitors appreciate the generous portions and flavorful food, making it a go-to spot for hearty Hawaiian-style meals.
