Now, I'll say this: the food is genuinely delicious. But the portion sizes are just absurd for the price. The first time, I spent around $20 on what felt like a small tray of food. This time, I thought I'd give them another chance. I ordered a large plate with an extra side of broccoli. I paid almost $30, and what I got was a bowl about the size of my hand. My hands aren't tiny either, but for $30? It was absurd. So, while the flavor is spot-on, the portions to pricing make it a hard no for me going forward.

I enjoyed my chicken combo, especially the katsu. The bbq chicken was okay, but I definitely needed to add sauce on the back end to make it more flavorful. The staff was friendly and welcoming to our large party! Even though we all individually ordered at the counter at separate times, they were smart and waited for all the orders to be in before making any of our food. This ensured that the first person that ordered wouldn't have gotten their food before our last person arrived and ordered. Small parking lot, so think about carpooling if you're coming with several people. Overall, solid place for a casual, value meal with plenty of offerings! Will definitely be back to try other things.

I have been driving an hour from Jonesboro to L&L ever since it opened a couple of years ago. My fiancé and I would always get the BBQ chicken plate with extra chicken (we wanted to have leftovers to enjoy over the next couple of days) and if I was picking something up for my mom, she'd always get the combination plate. We'd also get the spam musubi. The food and its portion size was always top notch and very generous. The chicken, very tender and flavorful and since we always ordered extra chicken, that box would be heavy and the chicken filled the entire section of the box! We'd get our money's worth. The last two times we went, the first time, they were out of macaroni salad. Both times, the rice was undercooked and the "extra chicken" portion looked like a small or regular plate. I'm a rewards member and I love this place, and seeing reviews by others about the quality and quantity of the food over the past couple of months tells me that it wasn't just an "off" day when we went - it seems to be the "norm" now, which is disappointing. Has there been a change in management? There was a man who used to be there sitting at one of the tables and he was always very friendly, greeting customers and asking for feedback. I have not seen him there the last couple of times I've been there. If they are under new management, it would make sense that the quality/quantity has been disappointing as sometimes new owners try to save money by serving smaller portions while keeping the cost the same. But then it doesn't answer why the taste of the food wouldn't be the same.. I don't know what's going on over there. I crave that BBQ chicken, but don't want to waste 2 hours (round trip) to go there and get the same as what we've gotten the last two times. The owners know what's transpired over the past couple of months, so I feel that they know what they need to do to get back to the delicious food that L&L was known for because I don't know if there are new cooks there or if the employees are being told to skimp on the portion sizes, but SOMETHING needs to change to get back to what they were known for. I'm rooting for them because I'm craving the BBQ chicken now and I'd love to go there and give it another chance, but I'll wait until I see reviews coming in saying that things are back to the way they were before whatever changes happened..

I was surprised to find out that an L&L Hawaiian Barbecue location opened in Smyrna. I'm from SoCal…read moreand my parents were born in Hawaii, and L&L has many locations in both places, so am very familiar with L&L. Martin decided to drive us here to try out the Hawaiian food. Parking was easy to find in a free parking lot shared by other neighboring businesses. L&L is in one end of a retail building, and people have to go up some steps to get to the entrance. If steps are challenging to L&L customers, they can park in spaces on the opposite end of the building where there aren't any steps. Counter service was friendly and quick. L&L is in a small space, awkwardly set up, so that if there's a line of customers either waiting in line to place their orders or waiting inside for their food, they're standing right next to the tables. It's not enjoyable to be sitting at a table eating a meal while customers in line are standing no more than 2 feet away checking out what's on your plate. There were at least a couple of tables outside on the side of the building, meaning you have to take the steps down to get to that area, or, if you're physically challenged taking the steps down you'll have to go all the way down to the other end of the building, and walk (or roll) where cars are driving (no sidewalk along the parking lot) to get to the outside tables. While we were eating, the line of people waiting to place their orders grew to about 15 (which included 2 families), and the standing room only area inside quickly got very crowded and noisy. I felt the food was pricey for what we got. I ordered the bbq beef plate and Martin ordered the kahlua pork with cabbage plate. The teriyaki sauce on the bbq beef had a bold flavor, but it was was very salty. The kahlua pork tasted bland to me. Both of the plates came with 2 scoops of steamed white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. The scoops of rice were generous, and the macaroni salad was very good. We don't live close to Smyrna, so I'm concerned about visiting again with the limited sitting space available inside, especially since the weather isn't always conducive to sitting outside to eat a meal. That plus the overall higher prices do not provide any motivation for us to return.

I also ordered a lychee martini, which was amazing. It had the perfect balance of flavor without being overly sweet, making it easy to enjoy alongside the meal. For appetizers, I tried the crab appetizer with the beignets. The combination was a bit of an acquired taste in my opinion, but the beignets themselves were perfectly cooked--light, crispy, and fresh. The steak appetizer was also very good and a solid choice to start the meal. A special shoutout to the bartender, who was fantastic. Since it was my first time visiting, I had quite a few questions, and he took the time to walk me through the menu in detail. He explained the dishes, ingredients, and flavors thoroughly and gave excellent recommendations based on what I was looking for. His suggestions were spot on and definitely elevated the experience. The only miss for me was the pound cake dessert. It wasn't what I expected from a traditional pound cake. It had a green color and a flavor profile that just wasn't for me. If you're expecting a classic buttery pound cake, this may not be it. That said, the food, drinks, and service were all memorable, and I can definitely see why Poor Calvin's is such a popular Atlanta restaurant. I'd absolutely return to explore more of the menu.

It was a Friday night, so it was pretty packed when we first got there. We put our names down, and then grabbed a drink at the bar. There was outdoor seating that was available, so we grabbed a seat. We were then notified that our table was ready. It wasn't even 20 minutes, so this was great. The host took us to two seats at the bar. SOS is such a cool island type of vibe. They have so many different tiki cocktails that you can choose from. They are mostly made of rum, but they have a few other ones that are made with different alcohols. Me and my wife both got our own drinks. Hers was a special Valentine's Day themed drink that was on the menu, and mine was one of the tequila/mezcal tiki drinks. Both tasted really good! The presentation was just as good too! You aren't limited to these though, it's a full bar, so you can get whatever you want. They also have a few food options, but very limited. Our bartender, Heather, was super nice as well. My wife had asked (when I went to the restroom) if they did anything for birthdays, since my birthday was a few days prior. She did this cool fire presentation and gave us two little slushie shots. Awesome bartender for sure! SOS is a great place to go for some really fun drinks. It's good for groups, but keep in mind that they do get quite busy on the weekends! I'll definitely be back.
