It had been a while since we last had Hawaiian food, and since this location is so close to us, we decided to finally check it out. We were warmly welcomed by Aunty Vaun, who was wonderful at helping us navigate the menu for our first time here. I ordered the BBQ Mix combo, which was delicious. Even though I'm usually not a fan of mac and cheese, theirs was surprisingly good! We also tried the Garlic chicken mini plate--which was a huge, fantastic portion--and the cheeseburger, which was equally great. While waiting for our food, Aunty Vaun shared the heartwarming story of how L&L got its start. She was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the rest of the staff kept the service quick and efficient. We will definitely be back! read more

So happy to see more Hawaii-based or Hawaii-inspired restaurants open up since moving to Georgia 6 years ago! L&L is a chain I grew up on, so I know a certain standard of quality and consistency is to be expected when ordering here. I have only ordered from this location once so far, but it was great! Ordered on Valentine's Day thru the L&L app. Called ahead to see if they could pause the order till we got closer so it would be fresh as we were delayed in that holiday/weekend traffic. The girl on the phone was super sweet and although it took a while for it to show up on their end, the young lady was so nice to call back and confirm that she received the order finally and it would be hot and fresh upon arrival. I did not go inside, but I heard the counter staff were also very nice and pleasant to interact with. Tried the food at a park nearby to ensure freshness. Everything was pretty tasty. I think there are a few kinks to work out, as this is a newer location, but nothing too serious. I do think the garlic shrimp was better at the Cobb location. It just needs a little more garlic, salt, and crisp on the batter/skin, in my opinion. The loco moco was good - nice to have gravy rice and the egg was cooked perfectly. The chicken katsu curry was definitely better than some other places in Metro Atlanta but also could've been slightly crispier - overall not bad at all though. The garlic chicken was easily my favorite - perfect crisp, yet juicy and delicious sauce. The mac salad was perfect and standard to what I expected, the perfect compliment to the chicken and other dishes. My only critique would be to shred the cabbage or chop a little thinner to be more palatable but so much better than steamed, bland cabbage as a bed for the plates! I was looking forward to ordering lau lau but I'm hearing it might be a secret menu option at this location or first come/first call/first serve situation. This is totally understandable, as I cannot get taro leaves every single time I go to BuHi farmer's market lol. They are out so quickly! But looking forward to ordering more favorites, more garlic chicken, and coming back for the lau lau. Great job, Dacula/Mulberry location! The aloha spirit is alive and well at this location. Keep up the great work! Go try L&L if you haven't yet. read more

Food was amazing and plentiful! This was our first time. Owner stopped by to see how everything was. Friendly staff. Will be back!

Was craving Hawaiian bbq and hadn't found any places that were good so I searched around and eventually found this spot! Plenty of reviews and good reviews at that led us to check out this location! It is a small restaurant with limited seating but they also offer takeout. You are greeted by a very friendly cashier who gives plenty of recommendations and variety. You can order on a self order kiosk or through the attendee. I ordered a chicken katsu bowl with double Mac salad and one scoop of white rice and it took some time to get out food. However, once it arrived we were blown away by the portion and how delicious it looked. Everything was absolutely incredible once we took our first bite and I inhaled almost the entire plate. This is a new favorite of ours and we will definitely be back if we are in the area. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Chicken Katsu Bowl - Barbeque Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

This is the 3rd L&L location we've been to. They are consistently good. The food is good. The service is good. The beef is my favorite. My kiddo craves the Spam Musubi. (It's half off on Mondays!) Clean bathrooms. Plenty of parking. They don't have a lot of tables. Some outdoor tables would be a nice addition. Mahalo! read more

This restaurant is small with a well maintained seating area. I liked the themed decor. There is a very clear digital menu and also printed menus. It's also convenient that the menu is available online and includes the nutritional information. I received an enthusiastic greeting upon entering. The counter person was helpful and friendly. I ordered a coconut pineapple smoothie, the light chicken meal and spam saimin. While refreshing, the smoothie is more of a slushy. I added a bit of sweetener when I got home with my food and it was great. The light chicken plate came with a large portion of grilled chicken thigh on a bed of cabbage, brown rice and salad with a very yummy dressing. The spam saimin is essentially ramen with spam in it. Overall a good experience, I'll visit again. read more

I ordered on the app for their limited time Friday BOGO lunch deal. The food is really good, well seasoned, and is pretty legit. What I remember more is going inside to pick up my order and the people there were so nice! It had some seating available, with the location being a pretty small space, and the workers were incredibly kind. All of them said "Aloha" and "Mahalo" to me when they could which made me feel so welcome. When I walked in, one of the employees were still chatting with another table. These people have great customer service and I highly recommend this for a wonderful Hawaiian experience. Aloha! read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - KALUA PORK W/CABBAGE BOWL - Barbeque Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

Felt the Ohana at this super friendly Hawaiian bbq restaurant down the street! I got the mixed seafood plate with garlic shrimp, fried shrimp and fried fish (comes with macaroni salad and rice- and their rice is sooooo yummy) and my friend tried their bbq chicken with veggies plate and said it was delicious. Nice portion sizes- big menu too. read more

I really enjoyed how patient the waitress was since it was my first time in a Hawaiian restaurant! I arrived just before rush hour that day, so the little restaurant's ambiance was calm with soft music. As for the food, the chicken katsu was fresh (I enjoyed their sauce!), the salads were crispy, and I enjoyed their taro boba tea that they served that day. I ordered to go, but I ended up eating at the restaurant because the food smelled so good! read more

So good!! I had the "mini" garlic chicken and couldn't finish- it was a lot of food for lunch! My husband and son had the BBQ chicken and devoured it. Absolutely recommend!! read more

Great deals here. Tried the mini loco moco, mixed bbq plate, curry katsu and spam musubi. Katsu would've been better had it been crispy, and the curry was a bit rich. Loco moco was good, slightly under-seasoned. Macaroni salad was typical and the spam musubi were good and not overpriced. Overall would come again for a quick lunch when I'm in the mood for something different. read more

Went to the newest location today and got the bbq mix plate and 2 masubi and glad I did. Is as good as most L&L's are. Chicken was well cooked, beef was amazing, and short ribs are always my favorite. Love that the masubi was full nori and not the little strip. Rice was perfect and a good slice of spam. Owner is super nice and staff is charming, place is super clean, and ambiance is Hawaiian and calm. Will for sure be back when in the area again. read more

This was our first time at the Dacula location. The food was delicious, servings were generous, just like in Hawaii. I had the BBQ chicken plate lunch with tender grilled chicken, rice and macaroni salad and my husband had the lighter BBQ chicken lunch with the grilled chicken, rice, and green salad, The service was excellent with the food made to order. The restaurant atmosphere is casual and pleasant; you can eat in or carry out. We met the owners, Jeff and Maria, very friendly people as was the rest of the staff. We will definitely go back. read more

Good portion size, great price. garlic chicken had great flavor and katsu was super tender. I like the macaroni salad. Will come here again to try their other meats. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

I couldn't be more thrilled that L&L Hawaiian BBQ has finally made its way to my neck of the woods in Georgia! We went on their opening day, and it was everything I hoped it would be, nd more. Growing up with L&L in California, this place holds a special place in my heart, and now having it just minutes from home feels like such a gift. My family is blended, with some members of Hawaiian descent, and it means the world to have food that not only tastes great but also connects us to our culture and roots. The familiar flavors, the smell of fresh BBQ, and the perfectly cooked rice and mac salad, it instantly brought back memories of home. What made the experience even more special was the Auntie working that day. She was so kind, warm, and welcoming -- just like being at a family gathering. She greeted us with a smile, shared a few laughs, and truly made us feel right at home. The new location is spotless, beautifully set up, and gives off such good vibes. It's clear that the owners and staff take pride in what they're doing, and it shows in every detail -- from the cleanliness of the space to the love in the food. If you grew up with L&L or are craving a genuine taste of Hawaii, this is it. Whether it's your first time or your hundredth plate lunch, you'll walk away full, happy, and maybe a little nostalgic. Mahalo, L&L, for bringing a piece of Hawaii to Georgia. read more

I have visited L&L from various establishments in different states and I will say they definitely keep up with the same quality as the rest. The owners are quite friendly. The food came out quick and it was as delicious as I remembered from the other locations. I am so excited to have a Hawaiian bbq close to home. read more

The moment my daughter and I walked in, we were greeted by Jess with genuine warmth in the kind of way that instantly makes you feel comfortable and welcome. This is a small, locally owned spot, and you can tell immediately that they care deeply about both their food and their customers. The menu may be simple, but the flavors are bold, fresh, and memorable. What truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and kind -- honestly friendlier than the best Chick-fil-A experience I've ever had, which says a lot. It felt safe, family-friendly, and genuinely joyful, not rushed or transactional. If you're someone who likes discovering great local spots before they blow up, this is one of them. Do yourself a favor and stop in -- and if you care about keeping amazing local businesses around, this is absolutely one worth supporting. We'll definitely be back. read more

I tried L & L for the first time tonight. Everything was delicious! We had BBQ chicken, beef, and Katsu chicken, and Mosubi. All the dishes were fantastic. The staff was super friendly and make you feel like you are one of the family. read more

Wow a taste of Hawaii in Dacula! The moco loco was fantastic! The gravy was spot on! And the mac salad was great! Service was fast and food came out quickly! Food was cooked to order! Ambiance was great! Restaurant was only a week old when visiting but will be back! read more

Great food and great service. Auntie Yvonne is so sweet if she's there, ask for her she tells you the story of LNL and her journey.

I can't believe I discovered one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. It is in Dacula and the food was amazing and then we met Jeff and Maria and their son who were even more amazing. The Aloha spirit is very evident especially the local Grindz, and the food was so Onolicious, that it broke the mouth. (Local Hawaii slang). After living in Hawaii for 5 years, this place brought back the memories of Hawaii and the deliciously local food. Maria is from Hawaii and they have really brought the Aloha Spirt to Georgia! Go support them they deserve it! Mahalo, Tim (Ga Flip) Aquino. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - I had the BBQ mixed plate!! - Barbeque Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

I absolutely hate to zing a new business, but I placed an online order and they kept changing the time. One hour later Dasher was sitting there waiting (15 min) and no food. Had to cancel the order, because I had already waited an hour, and the Dasher was wasting their time sitting. That is their time -wasted-that they have to get other orders delivered. Hopefully, this business will get it together for online orders. Food looks amazing read more

I really love L&L in California and am so happy to see them in Georgia now! The only thing is the Saimin portion is very small. I've ordered it at a California location and the portion was way bigger so was a little disappointed at that. The food took a little while to come out but that's expected at a brand new place. The owner lady is so nice! She's very sweet and just wants you to have a great experience. read more

It was my second time eating here and probably won't be going again, the rice was so cold, the katsu chicken had so much fat. I ordered 1 mini shrimp plate and 1 kids katsu chicken plate it took 27 minutes to get my food, it wasn't even busy.My daughter and I ended up throwing our food away, such a waste of $21. read more

The food was a B- to a C and lacking flavor. We had 3 different dishes and they were okay, but nothing to brag about. Service was very slow and it took a while for our order to be ready. Not a lot of seating, so I guess they expect you to order take out. read more

Taste was alright, service as well. With the quantity and quality of the meat, I'd rather go to the market and cook myself some shorts ribs, instead of buying some short ribs that have already been eaten. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - SHORT RIBS - Barbeque Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

The kalua pork was minced instead of pulled- not my preference. Overly salted, overly bottle smoke flavored. The macaroni salad was way overcooked/soft/collapsed twice, kills food cost, presentation, and mouth feel. The price was very high considering the food cost of the plate. Just not worth it. Spam musubi $3 was ok- I prefer a bit more browning on my proteins. $16 for less than $2 in food cost is a bad deal on the pork. The staff is amazing. read more

F A N T A S T I C , tastes just like the one in The Bay Area. Glad you're here guys. Keep up the great work.

The mac salad takes me back to my year in Hawaii. The food is what you would expect from an L&L. What brings it all together is the passion and love of the food from the owner who started a franchise in Dacula. She sat down with us and shared her story and desire to bring Hawaiian cuisine to The community. read more

The food was delicious! Our kids ages 5 and 9 loved it. Definitely coming back to try other dishes. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Dacula, Georgia

Pre-order. I made mistake of going to location to order via kiosk and waited an hour. I was hungry.

The service was good. I was greeted by multiple staff when I arrived, which was very pleasant. The atmosphere is nice. The restaurant was small but very clean and pretty. I ordered the BBQ Mix. Here's where the one major drawback. The food was mediocre at best. It was supposed to be BBQ, but there was no "outdoor cooking" flavor or texture. The meat really tasted like it had been cooked in a crockpot - which would not have been terrible if that was how it was advertised, but it was advertised as BBQ. Not sure I will be back. The food was tasty, but not tasty enough to make up for the fact that it wasn't BBQ. I expect that food labeled as BBQ will have some "outdoor cooking" flavor. read more

Tho restaurant is amazing! The food is fantastic and cooked to order. A real taste of the Hawaiian plate lunch. The aloha is in everything- the food, the customer service and the atmosphere. I will definitely be returning!! read more

Jeff is probably the most welcoming person I've ever met on tour and it was Musubi Monday. I only wished I lived closer. Customer service and food were amazing. read more

Nice little Hawaiian joint with authentic food. My boy loved the spam and katsu chicken. Service is great with the owners making sure they greet everyone. Will be back! read more

It was pretty good. The place was nice and very clean, but small, yet, still spacious enough to be comfortable enough to eat there. Being stained in Hawaii for 5 years, it really reminded me of L&L in Hawaii, so I was happy about that. I had the kalbi, or the short ribs. It came with rice and mac salad. The Mac salad was pretty good, but it did seem like it was missing something. In Hawaii, the Mac salad does have more flavor. I also had a lilikoi drink. I was disappointed that there wasn't a larger size. That's all I would drink whenever I ate at L&L in Hawaii. All in all it was pretty good. Everyone was nice and were very friendly and accommodating. The owner and the cook asked how everything tasted, to which I replied everything was good and I was extremely satisfied. He also told me that they did have a dish that I didn't see on the menu (Lau Lau)and that if I wanted to order it, just call ahead and place my order for it. Again, I was happy about that. Overall, everything was pretty good and I will definitely be going there often. read more

Jess was so nice to greet us as soon as we came in! We loved her suggestion for the mango juice! The owner was so kind to come out and let us know himself there would be a little wait for the food as we came in very early ( i love freshly cooked cooked food!) The bbq mix and light chicken were outstanding! I really enjoyed the way the brown rice mixed with thr flavor of the bbq chicken. Let me tell you do not leave with out trying the spam musubi its the perfect on the go bite to eat all their food is top tier. They simply cannot miss. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of thier stuff! read more

This place is DELICIOUS! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Tried the fried fish, fried shrimp, BBQ beef, masubi, and garden salad (that dressing is so good). All of it was perfection. Can't wait to go back. read more

My son and I ordered takeout a d while waiting we were warmly greeted by the owners. They were awesome. The wait was not long as our food was being freshly prepared. It smelled so good on the drive home and tasted perfect. Truly a real taste of Hawaii. The portions were huge. I had leftovers of Sunday. We will be back! read more
