Whenever I visit the farmers market, my first stop is always to put an order in at the Red Barn food truck. They have gluten free bread and the way they grill their grilled cheese sandwiches is next level. Even if the menu option doesn't come with tomato soup, I grab some anyways. There's nothin like dipping that cheesy toasty bread into tomato soup... oh and finishing it off with a tangy bite of a pickle and some kettle chips. Brings me back to childhood! The staff is always smiling and happy. And the location might as well be a slice of heaven. read more

No wonder their lines are sometimes long, although they do turn the orders around pretty fast. I'd seen their signs about grilled cheese and thought how I can grill my own cheese sandwiches. These are really more like cool combinations of sandwich ingredients that are grilled with cheese and sauces. They feature as much locally produced product as they can. Very very good bread, their own special pickles, fresh squeezed lemonade! Today's special was a turkey cranberry Dijon mustard cheese combo that was downright luscious. It was big enough that I made 2 meals out of it. A big pickle slice is included, and a handful of potato chips and a handful of purple potato chips. You can place an order online or order at the window, where the young lady is super nice and moves things along efficiently. It's clearly a well organized operation. I'll be watching for the next sandwich special, next week! read more

Really enjoyed the grilled cheesy sandwich at the Wednesday farmers market in Waimea. It comes with tomato soup, two kinds of chips and a pickle spear (I believe made by Red Barn) The Frenchman sounds really good so that's next. Order was done within the time they gave so all good. Maybe 10 mins. And it's Hawai'i so how can the ambience be bad? Nice folks, very friendly and great food can't be beat. I also tried the guava lemonade and it was very tasty. Give these folks your business. read more

Good lawd! I was sad and happy all at once eating The Purple Pig. Happy I was eating such a delicious and creative sandwich. Sad that I had to share it with my wife. And sad when I took my last bite because it was all gone. The Purple Taro bread was fun, creative and delicious. The Kalua pig was tender, flavorful and cooked perfectly.

Made a detour heading to Kona and stopped at the Waimea Farmers Market. Lots of choices, but ended up sharing a couple dishes from the trucks. Found Red Barn and had a hard time deciding between the Frenchman and the Beast Nachos. Since we were sharing, we went with the Nachos. They did not disappoint. Chips (purple sweet potato) were loaded with kalua pig, melted cheese-which I am pretty sure they melted on the griddle, then scooped and placed on the cheese, sour cream, avo and tomato. It was a lot of food for $15. Chips stayed crunchy from the first bite to the last. Can't wait to try a special grilled cheese next time I am in Waimea. read more

I had the sizzling Serrano sandwich, which was fantastic with a balance mix of sweet, sour and savory flavors. The creamy cheese gives it a velvety luxe texture like a million bucks. Despite the chiles, the sandwich is not spicy, with just a hint of heat. Cucumber pickle was on the sweet Asian pickling profile, reminding me of my mom's recipe. There are a few (I.e. limited number so plan on waiting for a bit) picnic tables at the farmers market to enjoy your score and watch local and tourist alike mingle at the stalls. read more

Food truck located at the Midweek Farmer's Market (on Wednesdays). Definitely wish we knew about the ordering ahead, because it takes forever, but it's certainly worth the wait. The Reuben is unbelievably tasty. One of the best we've ever had. Pro tip: If you wanna make the most of your time, hit up Red Barn right when you get to the Market; place your order; and then bop around the market as there are some unique vendors that you can't find anywhere else. The people working the truck are super nice and friendly. Thank you read more

The food is amazing and the price point is fantastic. However, since we have some family members with lots of food allergy issues (gluten free, dairy free), they were able to find the right thing for all of us. That was truly an incredible, thoughtful feat and we will absolutely be back next time we are in Hawaii. Service was great and they set great expectations since there were a lot of people ahead of us. Also the farmers market ambience was very relaxed and enjoyable. read more

An excellent Ruben sandwich. Had a hard time finding the location, but happy that I did. So don't give up. Finally found it on a farmers market, and not where Google Maps said that they would be. I had a side of tomato soup, but would skip next time as the sandwich is big enough. If you are a Ruben fan, make sure to check the Red Barn out. read more

Red Barn serves up delicious sandwiches made with locally sourced goods from the Kamuela Farmer's Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Grab a plate, enjoy the rolling green pastures and the Kohala mountains in the distance and mingle with the locals and tourists, alike. Our kids scarfed down the "Cheesy" grilled cheese and tomato soup. We enjoyed the "Frenchman" mushroom, carmelized onions with truffle oil sandwich, the "Swine" pulled pork sliders, and the "Beast" loaded nachos. The portions are generous and the quality of ingredients top notch. We made two stops during our recent stay and got to chat with Will and April on the second visit as they closed up shop. They are real good people and produce a wonderful product. read more

The Purple Pig was a delight! The subtle sweetness of the Taro bread belies its whimsical color. Its buttery toastiness adds just a touch of crunch to the Palau pork and Gruyère which absolutely melt in your mouth. The lemonade is lightly sweetened and mighty refreshing.

While vacationing in Hawaii and attending a farmers market at the Parker Ranch. I was lucky enough to come across their food truck. I perused the menu quickly and ultimately decided on the pork sliders. And I'm glad I did, they were scrumptious! The sliders not only tasted great but the presentation was wonderful. I'm not sure of the chef's background but the food was on another level for food trucks. My companions ordered food from them as well, and were all impressed. They have a lot of options to suit everyone. If I'm in the area again I would most definitely come back! read more

I was very lucky to run into the "Red Barn" lunch truck on Church Row in Waimea yesterday! I was actually running down to town to grab a quick lunch, saw the lunch truck and decided to try them out! While there observed that they had pretty good set up, it was clean and rather organized! They have a great menu section of specialize grilled cheese sandwiches! What a delight on such a cold day as it was yesterday! Although, the menu showed that they were out of particular items, one being the Frenchman grilled cheese sandwich, the owner Willie, offered to make me his last and final one that he had! I cannot tell you what the ingredients were aside from the fabulous cheese and mushrooms and truffle oil BUT it was phenomenal! The service that both Willie and his wife April provided were excellent! Highly recommend you trying this lunch wagon out!

She got great food from Red Barn truck and I got these slow death pieces of bone, any one would cut your esophagus to the quick , you would be dead before the medics got to you. How can this be an accident? Four sharp bones in one small laulau? One piece, maybe they overlooked it. Two,pieces ? I can't see anyone being that careless. Three pieces? Sounds like malicious intent, Four pieces, including that big one with sharpened spear tips, sounds intentional and very deadly. They made it right there and served it up to us! Sounds like the Hawaii states attorney should look into their history. The health Dept? Food and beverage? Nah! The district attorney, possibly. If I feel like letting someone else deal with it. A very cleaver way of having another Haole die from an 'accidental' bone? Not these four bones, too much overkill! Take your life, and the lives of your loved ones far away from this very questionable food truck. Hopefully we don't see them on Lopaka Kapanui's scary Hawaii show.

These were in one laulau from them yesterday. Every friend I shared it with said "how can?" Or " what the "F?" Scary but!

The food is so delicious! I had the purple pig which is amazing!!!! My kids LOVE the cheesy melt that comes with a tomato bisque. I hope they start a restaurant because we crave to eat their sandwiches on other days besides Saturday at the farmers market. But we will patiently wait till then. read more

Even "plain" they were perfectly crunchy and salty. The husband rated the big bite burger 4.5 out of 5 (very good!). The cheesesteak wasn't bad considering we are in Hawaii. Easy ordering, they take cash or card, and super friendly. I'd definitely come back next time I see them at the farmers market.

No complaints but I just like my malasadas to be light, fluffy & airy. I can't have too much carbs these days. We usually get the original plain ones but they have some with flavored filling as well. They have a gift shop, my parents found some great shirts, with nice colors there. We liked it. They serve local food as well. Service is always good, served with Aloha Mahalo and Aloha!! Chelle

We finally got a chance to try the malasadas here…read more You know why it's called a drive in? You literally pull your car up to the drive up window. Of course you can pull the car around the corner, park the car, and walk over to the counter service. The malasada is square shaped. So heavy. We got a total of three. We brought them back to our resort. The bellhop recognizes the box, and says it like a loaf of bread. He was right. We had them the next day for breakfast. We didn't think there was enough filling for the size - we got strawberry, pineapple, and guava. We concluded we like the donut shaped malasadas more, like Leonard's on Oahu. These were ok. Our curiosity satisfied. They offer food items too like mix plates but we had already eaten. This place seems off the beaten path, but all the locals frequent it.

The exterior, and interior, of the building is nothing special. As a matter of fact, that's part of what I loved about it; it helps you realize it's an all around fantastic food joint, not just somewhere that charges overpriced amounts for average food because of the "vibe." It's extremely busy inside this place, and staff was extremely friendly and pretty quick with turning out orders. I ordered a two entree plate, which consisted of their teriyaki chicken and pina colada shrimp, per the recommendation of the woman taking my order. The shrimp was incredible and the pins colada sauce that it comes with it's something I now dream about! The chicken was also great. It's dark meat, which is something to keep in mind in case you're a pickier eater, but the char and flavor of it was wonderful. For the sides I ordered rice and their mac salad. I'm not usually a mac salad kind of guy, but this changed my mind and I can now say I'm a true fan. This is perhaps one of the best places I've eaten between the two islands I visited on this trip, and I can't say enough good things about it!
