Came here on a late night around 8:30 PM on a Wednesday and there was no line, but they did tell us that they were short on burgers. Good thing though, we were going there for the ribs, as it seems to be one of the main food items they have. Starting off, the service is 10 out of 10. It was our first time coming here and we were greeted nicely. It's a small food truck and I believe they have a partnership with the bar right behind them. We asked them where to eat and they said feel free to just walk into the bar and eat there. Be prepared to buy a drink or something at the bar to support them as well. The ribs were great -- they were nice and charred, sticky ribs, not drenched in any barbecue sauce. They were pretty flavorful with that charred, cooked flavor. The quantity of food is plenty; they even warned us because we ordered two orders with fries and tater tots, and they were right that it would be a lot of food. The pictures don't look like it, but it's extremely filling. I think you could easily go with just two ribs and one side order for two people. The ambiance is meant for a dive bar type of setting since that's the eating area. If you're into that kind of vibe, I think this is the go-to spot for you. Not sure it's ideal for families since the eating area is a bar, but it might be a good quick spot in the daytime. At nighttime, there seems to be a lot more adults drinking and chatting around in the bar. Food price was a bit high, but I think that's expected in Waikiki -- that's why I'm still giving it five stars, plus the food quantity was plenty and we had a lot left over. Their service is amazing; they were delivering the food to us while we were seated, and even though they said the food would take a bit longer to cook since we were arriving late, it still arrived pretty quickly. Overall, would come here again if I'm craving some barbecue. read more

It's a symbiotic relationship between the food truck and the bar outside of which it is parked. So you can order food and get a drink while you wait for it in the bar. I just got a pineapple juice while waiting for my burger and fries. The Service was good. Ty brought my burger in when it was ready. I'm not sure it scales well but... whatever. The food, however, was mediocre at best. The burger wasn't smashed. The fries were hot but fairly tasteless despite the sprinkle of seasoning on them. I've been reluctant to write this review because I like the guys at the bar and the truck. However Yelpers, you need to know. read more

A challenge to find- but worth it. Nice folks that run the food cart. I had barbecue ribs and fries and could not eat it all. I could have shared the five meaty ribs and fries with another person. And the whole meal stayed hot until the end. I went to the 7-11 for a Sprite rather than the next door bar. There are no tables to eat at so you pretty much have to take it to go. read more

Run don't walk to Ty's BBQ!! Outstanding service and food! EVERYTHING on the menu is made fresh to order and is delish! The Patty Melt and BBQ ribs are my favorite!

TY's BBQ and Grill - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It's a food truck parked outside of a restaurant so, no seating available, and there aren't any noticeable signs showing the business name. It was actually kind of humorous that we walked right past it twice till I decided to call standing maybe 20 feet away. The guy running the place could see me and over the phone asked me to turn around and walk straight back towards him lol. He was nice and helpful with the menu options; which we were expecting more of. My husband was disappointed in the rib plate option bc apparently it comes with 3 ribs and a large amount of fries. We all ended up getting burgers and a patty melt. We were all hoping for more BBQ options. read more

The last time I was at Suzy's, it smelled so good but I wasn't hungry. So I vowed to come here the next time I was in town. Not having an idea of what to do for dinner, I walked over since I was staying close. There's a nice uncomplicated selection and I chose the Western BBQ bacon cheeseburger, and for a $1 more, you can update your fries to tots or mozzarella sticks...of course I had to have the mozzarella...and these were fried perfectly so that they were melted on the inside but it wasn't like biting into lava. I got both marinara and ranch to dip them in. I should've ordered more....sooooo good! The burger was delicious!!! Perfect smashed burger, tangy bbq sauce, crispy bacon and that melted cheese...all on a soft bun! I really want to have another before leaving! The workers are super friendly! I also like how they're "go inside...I'll find you!" That way you don't have to wait around! Again, can't wait to come back! read more

On a recent outing to Suzie Wong's I was hungry and Ty's BBq is right in front. Taco Tuesday! 4 street tacos for 10$ in Waikiki? Very affordable and the tacos were delicious!!! TY's and Suzie Wongs have a wonderful symbiotic relationship where you have a solid food truck parked right outside an amazing bar. We ordered tacos and sat inside Suzies for some beers. They delivered the Tacos right to us at the bar. The tacos were delicious and tasty and did I mention such an amazing deal! Next time I'd love try try their Birria tacos and sample the ribs and burgers. The service was amazing they are super friendly and know their regulars. Excellent service and delicious food at reasonable prices! read more

Buddy is a meat wizard. This BBQ is different from the traditional southern style ribs. You just have to try it to understand.

BBQ chicken and lilikoi smoked meat plate was next level. Easy, fast service! Love this food truck park.

The food at TY's is amazing. The ribs and patty melt are second to none. Best on Oahu. On top of that they are just the nicest guys and always a pleasure to see and chat with when getting food. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Best BBQ on the island. Service is outstanding! Casual seating, nice crowd of people. Will visit again.

Excellent food options and nicely cooked. I was still very hot when we got back to our lodging. The cook is very personable along with his companion. Even when I called to ensure they were open he answered the phone right away. Only knock, is it is a little tricky to locate. I'm not one to walk down alleys so I missed my (walking) turn a couple of times. Location doesn't have too much space in the lot. But you will see the truck is very modern instead of appearing rundown. I would recommend! read more

Went here for Taco Tuesday! Steak taco my fav & husband voted chicken taco! Loved the food & great service!

Unsuspecting GEM-of-A-food-truck. Friendly father and son operation, conveniently located in the parking lot of Suzie Wong's Hideaway Bar. Their ribs are tasty, tater-tots are crispy, and their tacos on Tuesdays are an absolute treat! Their chicken tacos are surprisingly good...some of the best you can get in town, actually. You can place your food order outside, at the food truck, and it'll be brought to you as you grab a drink in the bar. Their price points are very fair and their food hits the spot for bar bites. read more

First and foremost this is the best place that I ate while being in Hawaii. I got the barbecue ribs and they are to die for 12/10. I literally was so full after three and had to keep eating (Comes with 5). I also had the mozzarella sticks that were absolutely amazing with the marinara sauce. 10/10. I am so pleased! And Ty is cool as hell. Would I come back?! Hell yea! read more

OMGosh....Awesome Food. We had the BBQ Ribs with tater tots and the Patty Melt Sandwich with extra onions. Both were soooooo good! I won't eat BBQ ribs in a restaurant because no one makes baby back ribs like my husband. After reading all of the reviews I took a chance....oh my! Don't tell my hubby but Ty's BBQ ribs are a tad bit better. I think it's his homemade BBQ sauce recipe. Don't hesitate to eat ANYTHING at Ty's BBQ and Grill. Ty works so hard preparing the food and delivering it to your table at Suzie Wong's Hideaway. Love Love Love this place. See you on Tuesday for Taco Tuesday! read more

Let me tell you about these ribs. I know I got a picture of my cheesesteak but I also ordered the ribs and they are a must have. The cheesesteak was pretty good as well but the ribs though.. mmmmmmmmmmmMmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMM. You got to check out this hidden gem in Waikiki right in front of the amazing 5 star dive bar. That's right, I said 5 star dive bar. We have ate at many places and Ty hands down, has had the best food we have had in Hawaii. Ty is friendly, welcoming and his food is amazing. What more can I say about this except come on down to Ty's BBQ and taste what you've never knew you needed. read more

Is down an alley way outside of a bar , menu very limited . Food is definitely meant for those who are hungry after drinks . Tried the burger and the steak sandwich. Neither were enjoyable to eat . Best thing was the fries and those were mediocre. read more

The ribs are soooooooooo good. I loved them so much that I went to get them twice in one week. The meat falls off the bone as you eat them and the flavors are amazing. You also get a TON of fries with your order. Very reasonably price too at $14 too! This is exactly the kind of local spot you want to support. Family owned and good people. I'd highly recommend TY's to anyone. Make sure you try! Broke da mouth good! read more

We happened upon this place by accident and we are so glad that we did! While we were waiting for our hotel room to be ready, we stopped at a local bar to watch a football game. Since the bar didn't have any food, the bartender recommended this food truck. I'm so glad we listened to her. We got the steak sandwich and the ribs. Honestly, it was probably the best cheesesteak I've ever had and it came with a mountain of tater tots, which were perfectly cooked and crispy. The ribs were also wonderfully flavored, very tender and moist! We'll definitely be back! read more

What a great food truck. They have a nice menu with most of your favorites. We had the $8- Chicken Sando with tater tots $1- extra. Service was speedy, less than 10 mins. Super clean interior. We're heading back soon. read more

Ribs and burger were FIRE. Stumbled upon this food truck and glad we did. Once you find it that is ;)

My friends and I decided to swing by for dinner. When we showed up they warned us that since we were a bigger group (5) it would be a little bit and asked if we were okay leaving a number. They asked us if we had any food allergies, which I was shocked by, and were extremely kind. As we ordered they engaged us in conversation and over all were just so kind and attentive to our orders. We walked around for 10 minutes before they called and very excitedly told us out food was ready! When we finally chowed down the food was great! Great quality for the relatively low price ($14 for a whole meal that left me with leftovers). 10/10 absolutely would recommend. read more

Here's the thing man. I walked to this place (which is a food truck) which meant my tator tots and fries stayed in the box and were steaming for over 30 minutes. But when I bit into that Busta???? *pure crisp* perfectly salted, like a temperamental but emotionally intelligent father. I also had a Dakine burger with bacon and the ribs. The burger? great. delicious. the bacon had that crispety crunch - daym drops. but the highlight? the ribs. Boy that flavor???? sweet. savory. pull off the bone with ease. and that fat on the corner pieces? hoo boy, I can only imagine it's what a wet dream tastes like. this man putting SpongeBob to shame in the fry cook department. irrelevant but the cooks are so chill. they kept apologizing for how long the wait was but it wasn't even that bad and he was such a homie about it the entire time. As an out of towner, I'm fortunate and grateful for this culinary experience. Big ups. ima bust. no photos cause I ate it too fast. read more

Really enjoyed our tacos here!! They're only served on Tuesday so we made sure to come. We had two chicken and one steak taco and they were phenomenal! The crispy chicken skin on the taco was to die for!!!! They were super kind and helpful there as well, and gave us the time frame in which we would get our food. We waited inside the bar right there for our food and they brought it to us! It was delightful. We want to come back and try their other menu items for sure!! read more

Heaven sent!! This food truck is amazeballs!! Great service and great food. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, However we went with the pastrami sandwich and ribs. Pastrami was Juicy and flavorful, almost bacon like thickness. Ribs were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.! Do not skip out on this food porn experience! read more
