Came here because of the great reviews on Google but disappointed with how salty, dry, and flavorless the pork is. Number 3 tasted better but definitely not live up to the high ratings, pretty average food.
5 stars all around! The grilled cheese pulled pork was possibly the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Mac salad was great, even the keiki hot dog was great. Owner was super personable and elevated our already great

Ordered a #1 and #3 to take to beach to see sunset. Got #3 but #1 had no pineapple sausage and no grilled onions. No one there but us, so not sure why they couldn’t get this simple order right? No need to return.

Service could be a little quicker or more dynamic maybe - but not really a takeaway from a great spot and great food.

Great food and service! So good, in fact, we ate here twice while on the island. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. Prices were very reasonable. Portions were generous enough to share, and still be filling. We even had the opportunity to chit chat with Justin, the owner. Love supporting small businesses like this one.
Our experience at Porky's in Koloa was nothing short of exceptional, starting with the warm welcome from the owner, Justin Hier. Having met him during our visit to Kauai, we were drawn to his restaurant to experience firsthand the charm and passion he exuded. Our expectations were surpassed when we indulged in the Number Three sandwich, which turned out to be an absolute culinary masterpiece. This delectable creation featured a perfect blend of havarti and provolone cheeses, succulent kalua pork complemented by grilled onions, and the refreshing addition of fresh pineapple, all nestled between slices of toasted cheese bread. The crowning glory was the sweet sauce that tied everything together. Without a doubt, it stands as the most delicious sandwich my husband and I have ever had. Seriously ever.Porky's not only boasts an outstanding menu but also provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The passion for great food and genuine hospitality shines through, making it a must-visit spot in Koloa. Justin's personal touch and the culinary excellence showcased in the Number Three sandwich make Porky's a standout gem, leaving us with unforgettable memories of the perfect end to our Kauai adventure.

I’ve been to Kauai almost 2 dozen times and Porky’s is on my list of must do places to eat! I’m excited about the new location in Koloa as it’s much closer and that much easier to get to. Justin, the owner, is a great guy who takes care of his customers and employees.Eat at Porky’s and enjoy the Aloha in a bun!
Great hot dog, pulled pork, sweet sauce and grilled bun (the # 2). Wonderful Mac salad too. Highly recommend.

Best food and friendliest staff! I have been to Oahu a million times and this was my first time to Kauai and I realized it doesn't have as much iconic food as Oahu and most places in Kauai overcharge and under season especially in the tourist areas! Porkys was reasonably priced compared to everything in Kauai and was delicious! And had a clean, modern vibe. I got the #4 which is a pork rice bowl with pineapple and a side of pickled onions and cucumbers, it was soooo good! My little toddler loved it too! I will definitely be going back! The staff was all super friendly and the owner came over and chatted with us. We loved it!

Porkys is great, but it also strikes me as the kind of thing you can find in any area. Good hotdogs with good pulled pork and a Hawaiian flare to it. The sausage was good and so was the pork. We also had a grilled cheese and the Mac salad. My only knock is that it doesn't seem very authentically Hawaiian, more of a busy tourist thing. I don't mean that it isn't great food, but if you have a good and creative BBQ place back home that is in or near a shopping plaza, you might very well have a similar experience.
Sooooooo good, entre, side, drink for 18.00. Pretty good price and people who were working were super nice and helpful.
