    4 entree platter
    Abayomi O.

    One of my favorite spots for Hawaiin bbq. Everything I've had here has been top notch. This is a family run business so you know the food is made with love. I've literally followed them to every location they've been but I believe they've found their home at the Churchill. Food can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes so we usually order in advance online so it's ready when we arrive. There's plenty of other options for drinks and a nice ambiance to eat your meal near by at the Churchill location. Definitely come before closing time because they do sell out from time to time.

    Delicious lunch area.

    Generous serving sizes at this casual restaurant, which is part of the Churchill. It has a serve yourself menu kiosk. Your number is called when your order is ready. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and received a very generous portion that was flavorful and tender. My daughter had the chicken Katsu and she enjoyed it very much. They give plenty of dipping sauce. The sides included rice and macaroni salad for both dishes. Really really good!

    My friend and I decided to try some Hawaiian food :D ! We actually found this place in this cute little nook that was similar to a market. There were other food stands we wanted to try too. Food came out quite fast and it was really good! It's a little pricey but for the amount you get, and considering it's in downtime, it's not too bad. We were surprised that the meal came with two chickens! Only dislike was the Mac salad. We both assumed it would be Mac & cheese but it was not. We also thought there would be more rice. Other than that, not bad at all! A great meal that felt homey. Perfect amount for leftovers too. Awesome service!

    I tried Loco Grindz Hawaiian BBQ in Phoenix, and overall it was a great experience! The Garlic Chicken was hands down my favorite, super flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, so while the food is on the pricier side, it's definitely worth it for the amount and quality you get. Vibe was great. A lot of available seating. The customer service was a little off the day I visited. Still, the food more than made up for it, and I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu.

    The lady at register was very nice and patient with my questions. The food.... .... Cannot wait to go back and get a bigger plate haha! (The drink in the picture was from one of the bars there)

    Loco Style Grindz BBQ, Phoenix AZ Step aside, Phoenix BBQ joints--there's a new grill master in town, and it's serving up flavors that'll have you questioning your loyalty to your usual spot. Enter Loco Style Grindz, where the only thing crazier than their name is the sheer size of their meat platters. I mean, seriously--this plate was stacked like a Hawaiian luau on steroids. From juicy, smoky pulled pork to the crispy, charred ribs dripping with a creamy, tangy sauce that seems to be sprinkled with magic (or just a lot of mayo), it was a savory assault on the senses. You get a mound of rice to balance things out, because carbs and BBQ go together like SPF and Phoenix sunburn. The meat was tender enough to be cut with a plastic fork, and the portion sizes? Let's just say, if you leave hungry, you did it wrong. Each bite was an explosion of flavor--smoke, spice, and that addicting drizzle of sauce. Is it BBQ? Is it an island feast? It's a little loco, but in the best possible way. If you're on a low-carb diet, don't come here unless you're prepared to make some exceptions. But if you're all about big, bold flavors and aren't afraid to get a little messy, this place will satisfy every carnivorous craving you didn't even know you had. Pro Tip: Wear stretchy pants and maybe bring a napkin or twelve.

    Chicken Katsu

    I ordered the kalbi plate, which comes with two sides of rice and a mac salad. The kalbi was tender with a nice smoky, sweet flavor. The mac salad leaned more savory and tangy instead of sweet, which I still enjoyed. I also tried the chicken katsu, and the panko crust was crunchy and well-seasoned. Ordering through the window screen was easy, and the staff was really nice. The portions were solid overall. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food makes it worth considering for a return visit.

    Live action grilling.  The BBQ smell draws you in from the parking lot.

    Absolutely delicious. Hawaiian BBQ. Originally walked in the area for Acai bowl then got lured in by the incredible BBQ smell and live action smoke. lol. No regrets. Teriyaki ribeye steak, kalua pork, Kalbi was right on the money. Garlic chicken was a bit dry but felt like I was eating. Must try for phoenix

    Easily my favorite Hawaiian bbq spot in Phoenix. Food always tastes super fresh and the fact that they always sell out is a testament to their following and the quality of the food. I love the chicken teriyaki and get it almost every time. It comes with amazing pasta salad and what I assume is coconut rice. It's now at the Churchill downtown so there's other spots you can grab a drink too. Service is always super friendly.

    Garlic chicken and teriyaki prime steak  thanks Kyle @happydazetattooaz for the recommendation!

    Hella bomb! Service was lightning fast and food was hot and amazing and plentiful! The atmosphere is super cool with misters all around to beat the heat

    It's hard to find good Hawaiian food on the mainland (especially Arizona) but this place does it really well! So happy it's got a permanent home in the Churchill because it's a great area to just chill, have a beer and have some bomb food. We got the garlic chicken and the korean style galbi which was so delicious. The chicken was super crispy and tossed in sauce with lots of additional chopped garlic. I'm definitely a garlic girl, so I really enjoyed the different garlic flavors. It can be overwhelming for those that aren't the biggest garlic fans but it was perfect for me. The galbi, however, kind of fell short. It was pretty charred and had a strong burnt flavor. The marinade was good, but it was hard to detect because of the burnt taste. The POG juice was yummy as always, the passion fruit, orange, and guava juice combination just can't be beat!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 I'm currently visiting Phoenix and I'm staying in Roosevelt row area. I've been craving Hawaiian food and luckily Loco Style Grindz was just a few blocks away. It's located in an outdoor eatery called the Churchill. There's a lot of shade a ton of seating. The employees were kind and helpful while ordering. I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon, asked what their favorite dish would be. In response it was between the Garlic chicken and the Teriyaki steak. I love Teriyaki but I am definitely a garlic girl through and through. For drinks they had two options, I went with the P.O.G, which was a passion fruit orange juice and guava mix I believe. The drink was delicious and refreshing. Hawaiian eats can be very filling and Loco Style Grindz got it to a T; with the Mac salad, rice and a huge serving of protein. The garlic chicken was fried but extremely juicy on the inside. I loved it, Mac salad was delicious and you can never go wrong with rice. I left extremely satisfied and with half of my order for later. I hope I can try their loco moco before I leave. It wasn't in stock today :-( Overall great experience!

    The Churchill s location is excellent. Off Roosevelt. Finding parking can be a bit challenging so bring your extra patience for this task. Excellent place to eat with a group of friends since The Churchill has various food places. We enjoyed our food and drinks. Even though is august in Phoenix the mists kept it pretty cool. Will return to try the other food places. I love supporting our local peeps. Bathrooms are available and they are kept clean. Baby changing stations are also available. Water stations are also available.

    Short rib and rib eye combo. Got lucky today

    If I could eat this daily, I would. My only wish is they had smaller and cheaper portion options because these are massive (but delicious).

    The food is overpriced and disappointing. It's overly greasy and lacks flavor, making it not worth the cost.

They both have the same soy sauce teriyaki sauce. The LUAU Pig Is Slow Roasted kalua Pork seasoned with Hawaiian Sea Salt. The Seasoned Vegetables were very salty and flaccid.

It is a Tropical Soft Serve that IS Fat-Free, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Low Calories. Service is pretty fast.

It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, and I've probably passed it a gazillion times and never even noticed it was there. My friend had called the day before to see if there was anything gluten-free on the menu. They were so helpful when we showed up. They had remembered her call and could tell her exactly what was gluten free. This is a very casual order at the counter kind of place. The dining room is simple, but that's okay because the focus is on the yummy food. They have single plates and double plates on the menu. I got a plate that had kalbi and kalua pork. It was served with white rice, macaroni salad, and kimchi. It was amazing! The pork tasted Smoky and delicious, the kalbi beef had just the right amount of sweetness to it. The macaroni salad was also perfect. I got quite a bit of food for my money. I was able to make it into two meals because there was no way I was going to finish it in one sitting. I really like Hawaiian food, and this one is so much better than some of the chain restaurants. It's slightly more in price, but it's 100% worth it. We sat and talked for a couple hours at least. While we were sitting, there was a period when every table was taken. So it does seem like quite a few people know about this place and come. I highly recommend it!

The beef sticks were pretty solid. Perfect amount of char on the onions and meat was pretty chewy in a good way very moist and the lime curry dipping sauce was a very good touch to go with it honestly, the pork sandwich though the amount of coleslaw they put on it was way too much and it ended up making a huge pool of coleslaw sauce underneath the bun so every time you picked up the sandwich, it would be just leaking constantly of coleslaw juice. It was way too much and it ruined the sandwich completely the meat in the sandwich at least was really good. It's just a coleslaw. Definitely ruined it funny enough I happen to look at somebody else who had caught in coleslaw, but on their tacos instead, and I was seeing the guy draining his taco because there was so much coleslaw juice they really need to fix that and then they got rid of the lobster bisque soup which was really one of the best things they had what a huge letdown there
