After our first couple bites my friend said she would drive 5hrs LoL It was exactly what we expected, plus more! The owners were so friendly & welcoming. The hot dogs are made in house & smoked. There's a whole process. Their TikTok page shows how they're made & it's pretty awesome. Definitely recommend 100/10. The menu has a lot to choose from & has something for everyone. Oh & they have T-shirts for sale. I bought a pack of 6 Porgie's hotdogs to cook at another time. They were sealed perfectly. They happily suggested how to cook them & how long they'd last in the refrigerator vs. freezer. We were sure to get one of Porgie's shirts to represent bc this place is special. The place has a down home feel & the bathrooms have a fun theme.

I am so happy that they brought their food truck to Lincoln Lodge in Hodgenville. The Kalua Pork is…read moreso good that I immediately went to Elizabethtown the next day at lunch time since I was going to be close to their serving spot for more of that delectable dish. Absolutely phenomenal Kalua Pork done exactly as it should be. I have since tried several of their other menu items but the pork is far and above my very favorite. Whatever protein your palate desires they have something to please you. I was discussing the various menu options just Wednesday night with the only person in front of me in line and she expressed her strong desire for the Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl. I told her that I had been pleased with everything on the menu but she was going to stay strong and stick with her usual order. Once again, this is in Hodgenville, not a place known for adventuresome eating, and their food is so good that they already have a strong following in an area where Hawaiian cuisine is practically unknown. By the time the truck actually opened for service, there was a significant line of people waiting to order. It also makes me very happy that poke is on the horizon. I am very excited to try some actual authentic Hawaiian poke! This is a must try food truck and I would not be surprised if a brick and mortar place may soon be in the mix.

Papa Haoles (How-lees as pronounced on their food truck) is fairly new yet gaining a fast and…read morepopular recognition. Considering there hasn't been any competition to them in the area it is a welcomed option to the area. In all fairness to them, coming from the islands and making many of the same dishes they offer, "Mama's is hard to beat." Know that this is not a complaint or to say mine is better. Everyone has different tastes for what they are used to and what Papa Haoles offers may provide what an individual has preference. If you crave Hawaiian style "grinds" and either don't know how to make it or want the quick fix, this should be your go-to. Their rotation of locations each day is smart to extend their reach within Hardin County. What is nice is they rotate within the same day! This is the essence of a food truck, to be on the move and for you to be ready to go after where they may be. In the spirit of some popular trucks in bigger cities giving them #papahaoles will increase their recognition and following. They are also great at rotating their offerings and providing new items to prevent stagnation. It won't be a surprise if they eventually gain enough volume to demand a storefront in the near future. Their 4 star rating is primarily based on the variety of options, the unique faire that this area lacks and the taste of the islands this area desperately needed. Islanders support other islanders and it's exciting to know we have somewhere to go, when "Mama don't feel like cooking tonight" A great alternative over the plethora of Asian style restaurants in the area. Wishing them continued success!
