Literally the best BBQ we have ever had. Gluten free to boot!!.Beats anything I had in Texas.
The Hopper's really know how to throw down when it comes to BBQ. If I had any comparison, it would be to Kansas City BBQ - which is a HUGE compliment. Rich in mesquite flavor and plated perfectly with filling sides that are more than a generous portion for the price. Highly recommend them as a foodie!
Food truck with good bbq. Only open on Thursdays, we just lucked out. No seating

Hopper's BBQ & Smoke House offers amazing food, with brisket and ribs described as juicy, soft, and tender. Customers enjoyed the pulled pork plate for its tender and moist texture with a wonderful smoked flavor. The mahi mahi sandwich was also liked. Reviewers highlight that the meat is so good it doesn’t need sauce, though the crack sauce and BBQ sauce are also delicious.
This food truck is often found at the Thursday farms market in Volcano and is praised for its local vibes and friendly team. Customers recommend grabbing food to go and enjoying it at the beach or park. Hopper's BBQ & Smoke House is considered a must-try, with some driving from Hilo just to experience it. The combo plate is noted as a fantastic deal, providing multiple meals, and the meats reheat well, remaining juicy. Side dishes like lilikoi dressing for salad and corn casserole are also highly recommended, with regular cornbread being a consistent winner. Hopper's is easy to find by following the smoke, and while there's usually a line, the team manages it well. Ordering in advance is advised as food can run out. In addition to beef and pork, Hopper's offers delicious fish and chicken, and sometimes features vegan, vegetarian, and tamales specials.
