    Pork butt, potato salad and jasmine rice.

    This place was amazing!! Don't listen to any of the negative reviews! It's in a very unassuming building, easy to drive right by but don't! Food was outstanding! I had the pork butt entree with potato salad and it was outstanding. BBQ sauce was spicy and delish. My party also ordered two hamburgers, which they raved about, as well as chili (yum!) and pulled pork sandwich (another thumbs up!) The owner, Sean, came over to us and chatted for a while. Very nice guy and personable! Prices were reasonable for the portions for sure! My 10 yr old LOVED the cornbread and we even had to get some to go! As we were walking out my 10 yr old yelled out to Sean, "we'll see ya tomorrow!" (We live in central Ma and were up there for a softball tournament.) Highly recommend!! **Also very attentive to food allergies as I am gluten free!!**

    The burgers at this place are incredible, as are the sides, even the veggies. This place is awesome

    The Slaw-Py Pulled Pork Sammy
    Scott M.

    Traveling through New Hampshire , we found this place just off of the highway. I ordered the bay of pigs tacos ($16 each) and my wife ordered The Slaw-Py Pulled Pork Sammy ($18 each) and two Poland spring bottled waters ($3 each). The Slaw-Py Pulled Pork Sammy was very good and the smash potatoes were quite tasty. We both enjoy things with a kick, and the sandwich delivered! Great blend of flavors. The tacos were a slight disappointment for two reasons. The first being that the tomatoes were very wet which caused the tacos to be super soggy. I really like that crisp tortilla, and they appeared that they were grilled to perfection prior to the tomato's being added. Additionally the pork was a bit on the dry side. I typically like a moist pulled pork, and perhaps I just got a drier section of the pan? I'd definitely stop back again, but I'd probably grab something different vs. the tacos again. Also on a side note, and yes I know this happens everywhere, but, I am always a bit surprised when a bottled water exceeds 1.50. Shame on me for not asking the cost prior, but the drinks were not marked. I assumed that a bottled water would be a reasonable cost, but I personally don't think that is reasonable. I would have rated this a three star based on the tacos and the water prices, but the staff was super friendly, and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

    If you live around the area or maybe in town for leaf peeping, this place is a nice pit stop for a great meal with fantastic service. The service was friendly and accommodating as soon as we walked through the doors. We had the pulled pork with grilled veg and side salad -- plus the bumba sauce! And oh my goodness, it really hit the spot. The peanut sauce was creamy and paired perfectly with the pork. The veg was fresh and the pork was flavorful. My son had the spamwich and loved every bite. It was savory and filling, with a touch of sweetness. They truly bring the Aloha Spirit and sunshine to New England. Highly recommend.

    6 beers on tap. Plus more in the case for bottle and cans. Great atmosphere. Millitary theme in men's room. Owner is an army veteran. I got spicy sausage smashed red bliss potatoes, and slaw. Very personable owner.

    This place is the best of both worlds Hawaiian and BBQ. The workers here were cool people, laid back and great all around. They cooked the food super fast! The flavors oh man were out of this world. You can taste the smokiness in almost everything. They have sauces for days which I need to try them all. The place was super clean and had decor everywhere making you feel like you been to Hawaii.

    Tacos and burger were excellent!!! Service was also awesome, love the atmosphere. Great vibes and relaxing space.

    The food was excellent. I had the Hawaiian breakfast which was delicious but a little bit expensive but the food and service was great.

    Went around 3:30. Their lunch specials go until 4 so I was able to get a ribeye steak lunch. I…read moreforget exact price I think it was $24, but with the price of steak lately it was reasonable, came with one side. Ordered medium rare and came out perfect. There wasn't a ton of flavor, but that's how I like it...just salt and pepper. I like to taste the steak. Especially a ribeye. My girlfriend got the rueben and loved it. She is also big on fries and said they were some of the best she has had. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. As far as drinks...I'm a whiskey/beer drinker so I'm good pretty much anywhere. My girlfriend likes "fun" drinks and said their menu had a good amount of them. She got something on special for valentine's day and said it was delicious. I saw past reviews complain about it being dark. We went during the day so can't speak too much to that, but will say dining room is in the front so it was a little brighter. The bar is in the back and can see how it can get dark, but considering it's a bar.....

    Visited for the first time with a party of five celebrating two birthdays, which meant expectations…read morewere festive, the vibes were high, and the drinks were prepared to flow. Finding the parking lot? Easy.Finding the actual bar & grill? A full-blown scavenger hunt. At night there are ZERO lights, dark signage, and my only landmark was, "Ah yes... follow the sacred Guinness imagery on the front doors like a slightly tipsy pilgrim seeking barley and salvation." During daylight I'm sure it's obvious, but at night (especially in rain or snow) you're basically navigating by faith, GPS betrayal, and hopeful vibes. Staff was attentive, relaxed, and perfectly matched the laid-back local bar & grill energy. The kind of place where regulars probably have "their chair". I didn't catch our waitress's name, but she fully understood the assignment -- group of friends, multiple drinks, laughter escalating in volume -- we felt welcomed, never rushed, and were allowed to spiral socially at our own pace. It was trivia night (we did not participate because our confidence exceeds our actual trivia knowledge), but surrounding tables were living their competitive lives. The menu is... honestly a conversation starter. It's giving jack-of-all-trades comfort food chaos. Where else are you seeing shepherd's pie egg rolls casually coexisting with liver and onions like they negotiated a diplomatic treaty at the United Nations of Comfort Food? Naturally, curiosity and poor impulse control won, and the table ordered the shepherd's pie egg rolls. Because -- science. Drinks: * Beer drinkers were happy -- solid selection, zero complaints. Glasses remained suspiciously empty which tells me everything I need to know.* I ordered a French Martini which immediately turned into the community sample martini. Consensus: enjoyed by others. Personally? Ce n'est pas mon préféré. Growth is knowing when a martini is not your soulmate. C'est la vie! Food: * A couple of us ordered the pot pie -- good temperature, solid comfort vibes, but the crust was thin and a little chewy instead of crispy, flaky and and emotionally supportive. Slight emotional letdown because crispy crust is possibly a love language. * I'm normally anti-fish taco, but a friend loved them. I tried a bite and will admit... flaky, fresh, and not oily at all. Respect where respect is due. Overall:Comfortable local hangout energy, friendly service, interesting menu, but the nighttime invisibility cloak on the building nearly had me questioning my GPS and my eyesight and whether I had accidentally entered a secret speakeasy that requires password authentication. Would go back -- now that I know I'm looking for Guinness signs like they're ancient runes safely guiding me toward carbs and cocktails!
