We stopped by here when on road to hana. We originally wanted to go to a different Huli Huli chicken spot but they sold out by the time we arrived around 2 and were recommended to try here instead. They only have two things on their menu, the huli huli chicken and pork ribs plates. We ordered both to try. Total for both was around $50, kind of expensive to be honest but that's Hawaii for you. Each plate came with rice, assorted veggies and protein of your choice. They were both good, were seasoned okay. The pork ribs were slightly on the salty side to me. The location is on the left side of road right when driving towards hana from paia. It is all outdoor seating and no public restrooms available. The food was decent, good portions and if you're really hungry with limited food options this is a spot you could consider. read more

Hana Hawaiian BBQ - BBQ Ribs BBQ chicken was fire - Barbeque Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

My husband has been ranting and raving about this chicken since we came back. His feedback: "It's flavorful! It's tender! It's got everything you'd need so skip the sauce!" So I'd say it's definitely worth the stop on the way up. I tried a bit of the chicken and definitely agree. It reminded me of my mom's chicken growing up. The owner was there BBQing next to us and he seemed really friendly and that he loves what he does. The plate is huge so keep that in mind and you can definitely share it with another person maybe 2 depending on the appetite. read more

Hana Hawaiian BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Service was super friendly. Portions were generous. Food was good enough to hold you over. This spot is nearing the end of the Road to Hana and right next to two other food spots (shrimp and pizza) and a cute gift shop and coffee shop. If you're hungry, you can stop but not essential if you're just doing a day trip. read more

I would say that this place is only worth stopping at if you're really hungry on your way to the road to Hana. There is only two options for what to order and if you order the chicken, there's not much meat on it. The service was great. The ambience was not that great And overall the food was just average. Definitely not worth trying if you're not starving... read more

Stopped here for lunch on the road to Hana. A lot of places were closed on Monday when we went but we're glad we stopped! It was cool to watch them grill the chicken and ribs right there. The meat was absolutely delicious, though the rice and veggies felt kind of slapped onto the plate and lacked seasoning or sauce. Staff was friendly. read more

we got a chicken plate and a rib plate, both were really flavorful. We spoke with the guy manning the grill, and even though he was working hard, was super friendly and definitely appreciated our business when we thanked him as we left. would absolutely recommend this as a great option on the road to Hana. Also great for groups, as there was a pizza place and fish taco stand in the same location, although the fish place was closed the day we went. read more

If you're looking for a quick stop to eat on the road to Hana, definitely try the the ribs at Hana Huli Huli BBQ. They refreshingly hit the spot after a long day on the road and the portions are generous. They are long roasted and just need a bit of some barbecue sauce to enjoy. read more

Recommended by our friend and the tour guide, Huli Huli is a well-known BBQ stop along the Road to Hana. They serve roadside smoked chicken and ribs, so we decided to share the Huli Huli chicken plate. The chicken had a great smoky flavor, and the meat was juicy and tender. It was a hearty, satisfying meal, perfect comfort food for the trip! read more

Hana Hawaiian BBQ - Huli Huli Chicken Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Delicious food from a local stop on the Road to Hāna! It is the perfect stop after working up an appetite completing the Road to Hāna. The service was wonderful and quick! There was plenty of outdoor seating. You can see where they are grilling the meat that is full of flavor. The vegetables and rice were delicious with soy sauce and other sauces available. We were able to divide one plate up among three of us and it was a decent portion size for each. This place is worth the stop and worth the wait as it it toward the end of the Road to Hāna. read more

I can get a touch arch about Q that does fall into the established categories. May it's time to add a category: Hawaiian Barbecue. HHHB serves up mammoth portions of deliciously, kiawe smoked, grill finished pork ribs. A little more "al dente" if you will than I typically expect of the finest exemplars of other ribs but it didn't feel like an error but rather a choice aimed at reflecting the hard scrabble truth of Hana. People here are hardier and work harder. To live and do business in Hana you gotta want it and so it's right that the bones of these veritable pork chops don't yield their bounty of meat as easily as some others. Their juiciness and singular flavor are worthy of suspending assumptions and expectations. The fat is perfectly rendered, meat is perfectly succulent. HHHB ribs are the clear and unchallenged star of the plate, served against a blank canvas of white rice and steamed veggies. Don't worry the ribs carry their teammates beautifully. I wound up at HHHB in reverse, in a near drive by, my eye having caught the BBQ sign at the last possible minute, moment before noon. As soon as I ordered, the pit master validated my order, "The ribs should be perfect!" He was right. Eat here. Thanks HHHB. read more

The food was awesome! Ribs were nice, juicy and tender and the drinks were extra cold and refreshing which is surprising since we were in Hawaii. What was my favorite part was the service. It was so awesome we had to stop by on the way back! The employees were very nice, kind, and funny. Service is definitely the best part! If you are driving the road to Hāna and like barbecue, this is the place to go! read more

On our way to Hana, this was our first food stop. And it was the smell of the yummy BBQ got us. We ordered pork ribs with rice and a side of vegetables. Really smokey, juicy, flavorful ribs. We loved each bite! There's a coconut stall on the side and other food options. Ran by a local family and I love how friendly they are. Definitely a must stop!! Grab yourself a plate full of yummy goodness!! read more

Best chicken ever. So tender and tasty. A must visit place when in Hana. Also the dining on the waterfront, so Beautiful. read more

Pork ribs were a bit salty but the rice and veggies balanced it out. I like that they used Japanese rice. The veggies are boiled. It is cash only. $25/plate either pork or chicken. Extra $ if you want combo or more portions. Basic drinks were $2. There are more parkings in the back. We went on a Monday so the port a potties were closed. There are clean restrooms down the road called Hana farm. The folks working there are friendly. Understand that food options are limited and they are in the mountains serving you food so $25 is fair since other restaurants are closed on Mondays. Bring wet wipes bc there aren't sinks to wash your hands. read more

Hana Hawaiian BBQ - Pork ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

TOURIST TRAP! This is NOT the Huli chicken you're looking for. Dry and overcooked. Do yourself a favor and drive the extra 20 min to Kopi red sand beach. For the exact same price, chicken there is tender, moist, flavorful with a slight smokey flavor, and family run. Only open until they sell out. White meat was still moist 2 days later! read more

This place is located at the Nahiku Marketplace deep in the Road to Hana. It is cash only like most of the places there. They have huli ribs and chicken that are smoked right in front of the eatery on a large grill. The food is fair priced and you get a ton of it. I got the ribs and I was not a big fan. They were ok, but looked a lot better than they tasted. The vegetables were good and it is one of the few eateries in the marketplace with a decent dining area. read more

This chicken and rib shack is now known as Hana Huli Huli BBQ. The ribs are my recommendation, with fall-off-the-bone tenderness, well seasoned and barbecued to a nice char on the outside. While I've heard there are other good BBQ options on the Road to Hana, this was a good choice on a day when the well-regarded Aloha 'Aina was taking a rest. Note that pricing may vary. While you might see menu photos online, there were no posted prices when we visited on a Monday, and the charge was $25 per plate (about twice as much as shown from recent photos), which they certainly seemed to command given the remote location. Note: on our visit, there were no restroom s nor handwashing sinks offered to the public, which was not ideal for a restaurant. They were directing customers to the next rest stop 10 minutes away. Cash only. read more

I absolutely loved stopping here on the Road to Hana. The experience was so authentically Hawaiian and I was lucky enough to get there just in time and get their last order of ribs. To say they were AMAZING is an extreme understatement!! There is a review saying these are Costco ribs. I'm assuming those people have no taste buds and don't know good food. I was able to share the plate with a couple friends bc the portion size was so big. I got 7 or 8 ribs, rice, and veggies for $25. The guys there were so amazingly friendly and (i think) gave me a few extra ribs. It's places and people like this that make me truly LOVE this island and fall in love with the Aloha spirit. read more

Hana Hawaiian BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

My husband after eating the ribs: "this was the best food we've had our entire trip!" Nahiku marketplace is a cute little stop on the way to Hana, and this BBQ spot totally won us over. It's low tech and pretty basic, but the chicken and ribs are smoked right in front of you and the food is crazy fresh. You pick your meat and pick your side (rice or veggies), and then there's a choice of maybe five different soft drinks. I practically scarfed down my side of rice -- it was piping hot and perfectly sticky -- and my husband pretty much licked his plate clean! If you're hungry at this point on your drive, definitely stop and check this place out. Bonus: this stand accepts credit cards! read more

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try this place. The owner/cook was very rude before I could get my order in. My wife and I showed up with our two year old toddler and my son was walking with me up to the stand. My son is fascinated by equipment and machinery, so he stepped off to the side where the BBQ equipment was and the owner saw him and got mad that he was heading that way. I wasn't going to let my son get close to it and I was already calling him back to me. I told the owner I wasn't going to let my son go over there to touch anything, and the owner rudely said that I obviously am allowing it. So I just apologized and grabbed my kid. After that exchange there was no way I was going to stick around, so we left. The guy was very aggressive in his tone and the situation didn't warrant that sort of aggression. He could've asked me nicely to get my son, but he must've already been in a bad mood when he lashed out at us. Bad customer service up front isn't a good look. read more

Want to know a successful short-term business model? Rent a store front along a popular tourist thoroughfare, go down to Costco and buy all the $5 rotisserie chickens and rib racks available, pick up a 50lb bag of rice and frozen vegetable medley, spend another $10 on the bbq sauce bundle they have their, and pretend like you've got some artisan bbq stand. Charge $17 for the chicken plate and $25 for the bbq plate (basically a 500% mark up) and convince people they are getting authentic food when it's really just Costco staples not even with the benefit of any additional seasoning. I pride myself on avoiding "tourist trap" food service businesses, but totally got stung by this one. Every other restaurant we've visited while on the island has been wonderful, mostly because they came via friend recommendations. Avoid this place (and the fish taco place next booth over) and either head over to Hana Farms or just wait until you get back to Paia. read more

Everything smelled great, the barbecue sitting right out front of the location puffs out smoke like a chimney with scents of pork ribs and Huli Huli chicken. Timing is everything because when we arrived they informed us they only had one plate of chicken left. We got lucky enough that the ribs had just finished being cooked as we were ordering. I ordered the ribs and rice and my father got the same with the "vegetables" aka canned Bushes Baked Beans. Ribs were decent, nothing crazy but damn good enough to pull over whenever you pass by because there is almost nothing out there unless you want to eat tropical fruit all day. Total for two rib plates came out to $26. Great service though I'll give em that. read more

I had the ribs the first day and they were great! The BBQ sauce is Sweet Baby Ray's, which is a decent option. The next day I tried the Huli Huli chicken which was good. Loved the smoke flavor of the ribs! read more

He has teriyaki or garlic beef sticks and both make delicious snacks. He also has whole (or half) huli chickens that are perfect for dinner when you finally make it to Hana (his stand is at the Nahiku Marketplace a few miles before you get to Hana) and don't have time to make a full on meal. With one of Eric's chickens and a six pack and some cracker bread from Hasegawa General Store in Hana, you've got a meal! And the guy is cute! I was told by one of my fellow travelers that me and my sisters were just smitten with (by?) him. But really, the chicken is good, the beef is good. That is all you need to know. read more
