I really wanted to try the brisket and ribs, but that wasn't possible unless I bought two plates. Chef suggested the brisket, so I got that with two sides of corn. Would the rather flimsy fork and no knife be enough? Oh yeah! The brisket just about fell apart. It was moist, which is hard to achieve; usually it's dried out. It was lightly sauced, enough to complement the meat, not drown it. The corn ears were juicy, also not dried out. I'll be looking for this truck next time I'm on the Hilo side! Gotta try those ribs.

The BBQ is not too shabby by Hawaii standards, but overall, it's okay…read more The brisket plate was a massive portion, but it lacked that BBQ flavor. What I mean by that is that it was under-seasoned and didn't have any smoky flavor you're probably used to or crave when wanting BBQ. Some parts were a tad dry, but what saved it was their spicy BBQ sauce. It's very flavorful with a good kick. The coleslaw was bland and watery, but I don't necessarily gravitate towards the side dishes, so this doesn't sway my opinions on the rating very much. My focus is the meats. Look, if you're looking to satisfy that BBQ craving here in Hilo this will get the job done. Give them a try out!
