    The menu says steamed vegetables. It should say steamed lettuce. One piece of broccoli? Ridiculous!

    Fast friendly service. Come hungry! Macaroni salad was excellent. Sticky rice- perfect! Prices are reasonable.

    It was busy. The menu was more extensive than I expected & we ordered couple Hawaiian sodas, which I liked to drink when I lived on Oahu. I will agree that portions for some (bbq chicken) were generous as was the katsu part of my kalua pork + katsu combo. I liked the outdoor seating. The lines to order were kind of odd, hard to tell where the lines were/are for. The price was ok $32 + tax. My major complaint - even compared to other plate lunch places not in Hawaii, was a lack of seasoning (salt) in the sauces/ breading on katsu/pork all lacked the flavor they should have - that cost 1 star. I also couldn't give another star because the meat in the deep fried katsu was just sub standard - fatty/grisly. I wanted to love the place, but it was just okay.

    Order time and who helped us.

    I ordered a meal for myself and it took 6 minutes from placing my order to receiving my meal. A few moments later my wife decides she also wants to eat here instead of at sandwich shop next door. We order our food at 3:10 pm. We're were helped by Lawrence. Fast forward to 3:31pm and our number still has not been called. Multiple other numbers were called including three people who walking in long after us. My wife went up there to see what the issue was and the Manager (didn't get his name) was too busy on the phone. They never gave an explanation as to why it was taking to long nor an explanation to whether or not, it was being made. They simply gave us a refund like we were bothering them for asking about our food. Also it wasn't even busy like some ONOs I've gone to. 6 minutes from order to receive for mine #185 and never received for order #187. But #190-191-192 etc got theirs fairly quickly. Management = Zero Stars but he gets 10/10 on being a phone jockey (I'm thinking that's his real job and managing ONO is side work) Lawrence = 1 star..... pretty sure this is a reflection of his management team. Overall = throw this location in the trash and start over.

    Best food I've ever had, never misses. Every time I come here I and order the chicken teriyaki plate I feel like I'm in heaven on earth 10/10 would recommend

    Pick 2 Aloha Plate - BBQ beef and BBQ chicken
    Raphael P.

    Wow this place was awesome. What to get: the pick 2 entree, comes with a huge portion of meat, white rice, and salad all for ~$12. What a deal! Highly recommend the BBQ beef, BBQ chicken, and chicken terikayi. The food was prepared fast and tasted freshly made. Place was crowded and I can see why. Deducting one star because the katsu chicken we ordered was really undercooked and pink and inedible. They replaced it though, so good customer service which is great to see. Recommend this spot!

We ordered the ribs, brisket, mac & cheese, elote, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, and honestly... EVERYTHING was a 100/10! Every single bite was packed with so much flavor, and you could really taste the care that went into the cooking. The ribs were incredibly juicy and tender, with that delicious smoky BBQ flavor and the perfect amount of seasoning. The brisket was another standout--so flavorful, tender, and juicy, with that beautiful smoky flavor you hope for when you're craving authentic BBQ. And the jalapeño cheddar sausage?! The combination of the savory sausage, little kick of jalapeño, and creamy cheddar was SO good! The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and comforting--the perfect side to balance all that smoky goodness. The elote was also a favorite, loaded with flavor and the perfect little sweet-and-savory element alongside the BBQ. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Nothing was dry, bland, or lacking seasoning. You can tell they know their way around a smoker because every bite had that delicious depth of flavor I look for in great BBQ. 100/10 would absolutely order this again! If you're a BBQ lover, Eric's Family BBQ needs to be on your list. This meal seriously exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back and try even more!

The concept is simple: order your meat by the pound, pick your sides, grab a dessert, and snag a beer, specialty soda, or fountain drink on your way to the register. The dining room is basically a redneck cafeteria, and I mean that as a compliment. Long community tables, no table service, and everything is self-serve. Honestly, I prefer it that way. I can grab as much white bread as I want, refill my own drink, never have to flag someone down for napkins, and I've had some great conversations with other patrons. The brisket is consistently good, and I always order it moist. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is another favorite, but the baked beans deserve their own mention. They're loaded with bits of shredded pork that add both texture and smoky flavor, making them one of the better barbecue sides around. Rudy's is one of those chains that doesn't feel like a chain. The focus is on the meat, and it shows. It delivers the consistency you'd expect from a larger operation while still feeling like a neighborhood barbecue joint. That's not an easy balance to strike, but Rudy's pulls it off.

I wish I had time to take pictures but my family of 5 demolished this. Some of my kids are picky but everyone just loved this food. So flavorful, so tender and just soooo good! We still have some meat left over for their lunches. This will definitely be going on my repeat list. This food would be great to order for a party! I also want to give a shout out to the young man who helped with my order tonight. I wasn't sure on portion sizes and told him I wanted to feed my family of 5. I told him what I was thinking of ordering and he rang it up and then figured out it was a better deal to upgrade to the platter of 5 meats. He was very helpful in answering my questions.

I finally decided to try this restaurant after going back and forth with the other negative reviews that are out there but sadly, my negative experience was also similar to the others. I walked into the restaurant and immediately noticed that it was dirty and very dusty, however, some of the best food I have had in the past has been in places where some dust lives. I overlooked that part of it since the food smelled sooo good as soon as I walked in and I wasn't planning on dining in anyways. A few of the reviews talked about the rude staff, I didn't have that experience. Were they bubbly? No. Rude? Also no. The service was the only part of this experience that wasn't negative. I spent over $50 on the food which turned out to be mostly INEDIBLE. I cannot remember another time where I have had to throw out this much food. I ordered the sampler platter, fried shrimp with fries and collard greens. First to note was that the food smelled so good all the way home and I couldn't wait to dive in. I started with the shrimp. The shrimp had been cooked more than once and these were not only hard but also chalky, these shrimp were overcooked to the point of cremation. I thought maybe it was just the one shrimp that I had so I tried another one but unfortunately, they were the same and you could tell just by touching them. The french fries were also overcooked and tasted like they had been fried more than once maybe a day or two prior and then fried again, and also were very overcooked. The collard greens were cooked well but all I could taste was SALT. I love salty food and I tend to put salt on everything so the fact that I'm saying that it was inedible due to the amount of salt should tell you how over-salted this food was. The sampler platter had rib tips, wings, one sausage, and french fries. The rib tips were prepared with way too much liquid smoke, which overpowered all of the meat. Which makes me think, why would a BBQ spot be using liquid smoke unless they aren't truly smoking the meat? The rib tips were also very overcooked, hard, and dry. One of the wings was edible and did have good flavor, however, the rest of them were also extremely overcooked and dried out. The sausage had way too much spice (pepper) but not enough flavor, also had a huge issue with way too much salt. I'm not really sure how you can over salt something, but not necessarily give it enough flavor. In total, I was only able to eat half of one of the shrimp as the rest I had to spit out. And was only able to eat two of the rib tips because the rest tasted like nothing but liquid smoke and were extremely dry, overcooked and too tough to eat. I only had one bite of the collard greens to know that I could not eat them also due to the amount of salt. I was very hopeful that this would've been a good place especially so close to home. I have had amazing barbecue in the past and I've also had really delicious food from people that are from Chicago, so I feel like this was even more of a letdown than usual. Again, my biggest issue was that this food was inedible and unfortunately, I had already wasted $50 on the food. I was tempted to call the restaurant and talk to a manager or the owner however, I had seen all of the other reviews of rudeness and negativity when people brought food issues to the attention of the staff. I also have zero interest in going back had I been offered replacement food. So I will chalk this loss up to just an overall horrible experience. I hope that this was just a bad day for them but the mistakes that were made along with the other negative reviews, tell me that is likely not the case.
