    Mold and looks like it's not cleaned in so long. Gross

    Mold in soda machine. Weird old smell when I walked in. Never coming back. Overpriced food. Doesn't even come with a drink. Terrible

    Lava Shrimp
    Scott B.

    I went to try the new Lava Shrimp Plate, and it was good flavor rice was kind of sticky and dry and the mac was good no type of flavor but good . I called in because I couldn't figure out how to use the coupon on the app. It kept showing up as a plate instead of just the Lava Seafood Plate, so I had to pick the correct one. When I asked for help over the phone, the girl was really sweet but didn't speak up and tell me how the offer worked. Hopefully, the managers are training the front desk staff on how the coupons and discounts work, since she didn't explain anything to me. I ended up paying full price because the plate I asked for wasn't the right one, and even though I mentioned the Lava Shrimp Plate, she didn't correct me to let me know it should come with vegetables instead of mac and rice. I spoke to the manager, but he just acknowledged it was the wrong order but didnt offer to remake and give me my discount idk prob didnt want to waste food i understand

    Combination BBQ Meat BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef and Galbi Short Ribs with Macaroni Salad and a couple scoops of rice
    Dwayne O.

    Ono Hawaiian BBQ Galbi, BBQ Chicken and BBQ Beef, Katsu with Curry and Macaroni Salad are all solid. Just as good as the rice plates at the beach on Oahu from the food trucks. The SPAM Musubi is not bad and a nice compliment to your meal. I have spent many days in Oahu at Sandy Beach, Bellows and Hanauma Bay and after being in the water all day, we always would get our rice plates with 2 scoops of rice, 2 scoops of macaroni salad and a couple slabs of galbi short ribs, Ono is as good and is a good reminder of the old days.

    Where is the chicken?! This is all panko breadcrumbs, eggs and oil!
    Allison B.

    Will never be back. Ordered a chicken katsu meal to go and pretty disappointed with the chicken. The meal would have been perfect if the chicken wasn't pounded to an 1/8th of an inch. I will say that the macaroni salad was very good. Goes to show that management cares more about the profit margin vs selling a quality product.

    Rice, katsu, and salad.
    Larissa L.

    The katsu and macaroni salad are delicious. I spoiled myself with spam musubi and it was worth it. The salad had a lot of flavor. The prices and portions are great and there are no complaints about the service. I found a new place to go now in Phoenix.

    Chicken Teriyaki Chicken Mini Meal

    As always, Ono is my favorite Hawaiian BBQ place in the valley. Their macaroni salad is the best and my favorite is their chicken teriyaki and then Chicken Katsu next. Service was good your typical service and not expecting as much.

    Ch8cken katsu.  They don't add sauces for any plates.

    Dont ever order Uber eats, the chicken katsu. They charged $14.59 and 8t looks like one thigh chopped up to appear more.

Comfortable, sorta on the dark side. Classy. As I was not driving today, I decided to try their smoked Old Fashioned. Excellent -- and the dark cherries they use are the perfect addition to the cocktail. (The glass is coated with smoke from a smoldering piece of pecan wood, and the cocktail was served with a cloud of smoke under a coaster covering the glass.) The pig sickles ( ribs) were the perfect chance to make a pig of myself. Had the two meat plate, pig sickles and barbecued pulled chicken, If you like corn, you must have the side of corn with your dinner. The barbecue beans were delicious. Our server did a magnificent job tending to our drinks, appetizer, and food orders -- despite being very busy (the place was packed! -- and seemed like she was in constant motion. Very nice individual who liked la Prices? It was expensive, but the best barbecue always is. Eating isn't cheap. It was well worth every dollar spent. All in all, it was a perfect dinner. The perfect parting gift: a small paper bag containing four small donuts, coated with cinnamon. Our bag didn't make it home... I think we've found the perfect place to bring our family and out-of-town guests for dinner.

People come here for the meats: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, BUT!!! Have you had this GREEN CHILE BURRITO?! I beg you to try it if you have not... most people don't know they even have it, but luckily, for my coworker and I, Director of Operations Matt, walked up to us as we dined in last Wednesday and let us sample the Green Chile. As most of you know, I can't hang when it comes to spicy foods, but this chile is THE EXCEPTION (even though it's only "mildly" spicy). We each ordered the 2 meat plate, but we were so appreciative of the sample he gave us, otherwise we would never have known about it. We ended up ordering 2 burritos for our lunch the very next day!! You can also add cheese to it! I went in again for the 3rd day in a row on Friday, since I'm not sure when I'll work in that area again (I was 10 min away all last week)!! I asked my boss if I could work there on Mondays and Fridays, that's how good this burrito is!! They also have a MEAN Pecan Pie. It's called Bekke's Smoked Pecan Pie and it too, is a must try item! Matt told us it's a secret recipe from one of their employees and the crusts are hand pressed daily. Using a machine is just NOT the same, and I believe it! Since I am not sure when I'll make my way back there, I also bought another pie on Friday. So far, I've only had 1 slice because I need to ration accordingly! Prior to my 3 visits last week, I went to this location last July, when a friend was visiting from out of town. The place is clean and welcoming, and they have the best customer service! On Thursday and Friday when I ordered online and picked up, my orders were ready before the estimated pick up time! Mark was at the pick up window both times and he rocks!! I had forgotten to ask for the Banana Pudding I ordered on Wednesday when we dined in. I called as I drove home, realizing I left without it. Amanda was super friendly when she answered the phone and assured me I would have it when I came the next day. Mark delivered and had it in my bag the next day when I picked up our burritos. Service with a smile is what you'll get here! You cannot go wrong no matter what you order here! The meats are absolutely perfect and the flavor profile on everything is mind-blowing! Do yourself a favor and ask for the Green Chile anything next time you're here. Tell them I sent you! Don't sleep on the Banana Pudding or Bekke's Smoked Pecan Pie, either. Something about that smoking process makes the pie stand out from every other pecan pie you've ever tasted, trust me. It's also NOT super sweet like you're probably used to. If you call in, you can't place an order by phone, so do it online and you'll get a text with an estimated time of pick up. You can skip the line inside, too. Just walk up to the pick up window and you're good to go when you ring the little doorbell. There is plenty of parking outside and they even have a large patio space should you choose to dine outside. Thank you, Matt, Mark, Amanda and the rest of the crew at Little Miss BBS Sunnyslope for such a pleasant experience every single time!! I will be back for sure!

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.
