Awesome BBQ pit-stop. They don't have dine in (as of May 28th, 2022), but it's still well worth getting some food to go and using the outside seating. Pleasant staff, ~amazing~ food, and some pretty decent smoothies, too. Both their BBQ wraps and their full plates are perfect; possibly the best we've had in months. I'd give 6 stars if I could. You'll want to ask for some extra BBQ sauce, too; portioning here is great. Don't forget to ask for a military discount.

First visit and we got the pork nachos and pork plate! Absolutely delicious!!!! Will definitely add this to our places to visit when we return to island!!!

extremely disappointing.$14 for four slices of a quesadilla.not cooked (or even toasted) tortilla, mostly unmelted cheese, barely any BBQ sauce, barely any kalua pork, very bland.best part was the BBQ sauce but it was only on the outer edge of the quesadilla. some pieces weren't even held together.super quick! But it seems like they just threw it in the microwave for 10 seconds because it wasn't even hot (barely warm) when I got it..don't waste your time and money when you could make a better one at home for less

I snagged the Haleiwa Bomber wanting a little bite to hold my partner and I over after a long hike. Thinking this place is known for their slow roasted pork, I wanted nothing else to really get in the way of that. This bomber was beyond expectations. I thought maybe it would be lacking seasoning with the potatoes and egg like you might find with typical burritos. However, I was very wrong. These 2 paired so well with that award winning pork that I didn't really want to share anymore. It came with a salsa but I didn't even bother with it (a rare occasion for me).Katsu (hope I'm spelling it right) helped me out and was friendly. He didn't just engage in surface small talk but actually had a good chat with about everyone I saw him help.Thanks so much y'all! I'll be back very soon.

Super friendly service. Delicious food. Nice menu selection - something for everyone. Highly recommend for a quick service meal if you are in the area or shopping in Kailua Town.

At first the food was great. My favorite was the Pupukea Bomber. Its what I would get every time.The potatoes were soft, eggs fluffy, the seasoning had the perfect kick, the seasonings somewhat made a nice red saucy burrito. There were a variety of veggies mixed into it with just the right amount of cheese. I go there a lot then the food began to be INCONSISTENT. It’s a hit or miss if you get it the same. Most of the time it tastes like it’s been rushed. And it probably was. It gets really busy and takes 30-40 minutes. Now, the potatoes aren’t cooked. Nobody eats raw potatoes unless you’re a psychopath. There’s no seasoning anymore it’s like they just shoved everything in there without any seasonings and thought yeah this is fine. I could barely finish it and wasted money. It was so bland and so much cheese it overpowered the burrito itself. I’m really sad it’s changed because I really loved their Pupukea. Will I eat there again? Definitely. It’s like like Russian roulette 1 our is 6 it might taste good. I’ll take my chances. Why did I rate it that way? Don’t ask me

Great food. Great shakes. Everyone is very nice. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I continually order online and show up to pick up my order 50 minutes later and they haven’t even started cooking it. Might just be worth it to go in and order then they will cook it right away.

Very delicious!! You can order take out at the door. The pig on grass salad is super good, the papaya seed dressing and BBQ sauce are great additions to the pork. Would definitely recommend and will be going back. Need to try the shakes next time.

Parking on the street. Take out only. We enjoyed the Pig on grass order. The pork was really yummy and flavorful. Wished we would ask for more BBQ sauce. The sauce made the pork tasted better.The milkshake mud pie was thick and yummy.

Good food. always go there when I'm on the island visiting
