    Whole chicken
    Vicki L.

    The chicken is so yummy! Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. We got the whole chicken for 21.95 to split with the family. Definitely get the extra sauce for $1, you won't regret it!

    Huli huli chicken yummy, indeed! Fresh tender chicken slow roasted over fire. Beef teriyaki was tasty, thinly sliced and not too salty. Pair it with steamed rice and mac salad, you have the perfect bite. Fresh fish was delightful. Added zest with a few squeezes of lemon and tartar sauce. Fish was hot and flaky but would have been even better if the batter was crispy. Restaurant super clean and service was friendly. Ample parking out back. Mahalo!

    I'm ashamed to admit that this was my very first time trying huli huli chicken. So what can I say about my first experience? Well... it was a little underwhelming. Maybe it's because I don't have a baseline comparison, but I feel like huli huli chicken gets hyped up so much that I expected a massive flavor explosion. Maybe this is exactly how it's supposed to taste, but to me, it was just very simple. It tasted more like a standard roasted or baked chicken. I didn't really get that deep, smoky charcoal flavor that I thought a real-deal huli huli chicken was supposed to have. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad! It just wasn't "stop the car, I need to come back tomorrow" good. Maybe it was just an off day for them, so I'm happy to give it another try sometime down the road to see if it hits differently. But for my very first taste test, I wasn't really that impressed. Shucks!

    Whole chicken (chicken plate + extra side chicken) and kalua pork with cabbage plate

    Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally stopped by. We got the whole huli huli chicken and the kalua pork with cabbage. The chicken was the highlight for sure. Juicy and flavorful. If you order the whole chicken, do yourself a favor and get it chopped up, it's way easier to eat that way. The kalua pork with cabbage was okay. Nothing wrong with it, but if I came back I'd just spend my money on chicken instead. Simple menu, good food, and worth a stop if you're craving huli huli chicken.

    Here's a polished Yelp review you can post: If you're craving authentic local Hawaiian food, do yourself a favor and stop for the Huli Huli chicken here. Trust me--you won't miss it! The aroma alone is enough to make you pull your car over. They cook everything right in front of their spotless establishment, and the smell of the chicken roasting over the grill is absolutely irresistible. The Huli Huli chicken is outstanding--perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The macaroni salad is fresh and nicely chilled, making it the perfect complement to the hot chicken. The white rice is cooked just right, and everything comes together beautifully with their delicious pineapple teriyaki sauce. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is top-notch. If you're visiting the area, it's just a few turns away from Kualoa Ranch, making it a perfect stop after a tour. Great food, friendly service, excellent value, and a true taste of Hawaii. Give this place a try--you won't be disappointed!

    My family and I were at dinner at the prince Waikiki celebrating my daughter's birthday and it so happened that yummy Huli Huli chicken had their company dinner and staff had a birthday as well and we all celebrated together and told us that we should stop by north shore for the best chicken on the island and they were right we took the drive and order a whole chicken came out nice and juicy moist and pack with flavor their house Huli sauce gives it a tangy taste with the smoke chicken fire a side of mac salad, ya you can get shrimp for the shrimp truck but the shrimp is to die for spicy and juicy tangy shrimp, service was great and the folks their were so nice, follow the smoke.

    Tasty roadside restaurant with smokey chicken you can smell cooking as you drive past. Good lunch stop on the way up to North Shore and there's indoor seating if you need to beat the heat and bugs! Pretty popular so there is a line but the food was worth the wait, and it comes out quickly once ordered. Huli Huli Chicken - juicy, smokey, great sauce (ask for extra), filling piece Shrimp - juicy, plentiful, sauced up!!, spicier than it looks in the best and balanced way, garlicky

    This a great family restaurant located in Kaneohe. You cant miss it when driving on the Kamekameha Highway. Just follow the smoke and flavorful smell of chicken as they say. I appreciate watching the staff grill the chicken and how dedicated they are to creating a nice sit down meal for us to enjoy. Indoors, there is plenty of seating to escape the hot summer days. We ordered their famous chicken, a teriyaki beef, and their fish plate. Each was filling and delicious. Their prices here are also very fair. I would come back again to this iconic family restaurant for this memorable local experience

    The place was packed, but the service was very timely. The atmosphere was super casual. The chicken... definitely some of the absolute best chicken I have ever had.

    Whole huli huli chicken cut up as requested

    Stopped by for a quick bite after Kualoa Ranch, just a few minutes south from Kualoa Ranch ticketing. We saw the whole chicken on bbq grill outside the restaurant on our way to Kualoa Ranch. 2 staff members were grilling the chicken in the heat- dedicated! They were nice too. The inside of the restaurant is actually clean and well-kept, which was unexpected based on their location and exterior. Nice and cool inside with many tables to dine at. They have restrooms towards the back of the restaurant. You stand in line to place your order, and then you can to-go or dine in. We ordered the whole huli huli chicken (doesn't come with sides unlike the half chicken plate), teriyaki rib eye beef plate, and the garlic shrimp. They give you the option to cut up the whole huli huli chicken into 4ths, 6ths, or 8ths(?), which is convenient. The chicken was well-cooked, very tender, and delicious! The teriyaki rib eye beef was OK- very thin. I wouldn't order this specific plate again. The garlic shrimp plate was delicious! I think the garlic shrimp here is much better than Giovanni's or any other place- very succulent and well-cooked. I also liked that they give you the option to keep the shell on or off, which is nice. The mac salad was good too- has little cucumber slices in it. A bit on the sweet side, but not overly mayo heavy like other places and the cucumbers give it more of a refreshing taste. Service was good too overall. The staff member who took our order was super nice and welcoming. The only negative thing I would say is that it took 20+ minutes to get our order. They give you a number on your receipt, and call the number via mic when ready for pickup at the pickup window. People who ordered after us were getting their orders before us, so thought maybe ordering the whole chicken was the issue... but turns out someone ahead of us was given one of our items. He returned the boxed entreé to the pickup window, and the staff member put it to the side. Then when I went up to ask her about our order, she said, "oh that's the order" and grabbed the same boxed entreé that the other customer brought up to the window and placed into our bag. Didn't say anything as the other customer said he didn't touch the food... just opened and looked at it. Normally I would've said something, but I witnessed the whole situation, so it was OK. I would recommend the staff member to not do that going forward... since once served to another employee, it should be set aside and not served to another. But overall, it was a 5.

    Right off the road with plenty of parking. These guys make the best Huli Huli chicken. Delicious macaroni salad too. The line is worth the wait.

Couldn't smell anything cooking. Didn't see or hear anyone, couldn't take b ur a few steps inside the door for all the junk lying around. My first words, "hello, are you open?" We almost turned around and walked out but suddenly a nice lady appeared from somewhere to the left, climbing down into the area that might have once been a counter. "The sign says we're open, you're funny," she said. She offered us a roll "carrot egg" and a plastic clamshell with fried chicken. Both items were room temp. No indication of when they were cooked. I asked if we needed to heat them before eating... "if the roll makes it home, you can refrigerate it. Take it out for an hour before eating and it will be fresh again." I wanted to love this place. Came a LONG way to try it today. Based on the photos, the food looks so good. Idk what happened. We each had a slice of the roll. Underwhelming. Had a few tears off the chicken, meh. Hubby was too scared to try any of it. Darnit! Gave our leftovers to a homeless person rather than toss it. Just wasn't tasty to me and .... when did she cook it? How long was it sitting there unrefrigerated? Maybe I just didn't get it. Nice lady though. Nice chickens out front too. Although the one staring at me in a frozen position as I waked to the car made me wonder if I was holding her husband in my plastic clamshell Wouldn't come back. But glad we came. Sometimes it's the experience and memory that matters. And we'll never ever forget this place. Or the chickens.

    Lunch in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Using my Yelp app to find a new lunch place, my phone brought me to" Poor Man's Huli Huli Chicken Isn't the name intriguing? I had to check it out... LOCATION: next to the Hygenic Store where Kamehameha Highway meets Kahekili Highway. There's another food truck next to this white one. Look for the white truck with the rotisserie set-up! PARKING: free - I used the gravel parking lot SERVICE: humble, patient, and efficient. This guy does everything: cooking, chopping, plating, and collecting the cash. No cards, please. I admire the fact that he said that it would take a while because the chicken wasn't quite ready yet. He waited for the chicken to be "just right"! ENVIRONMENT: if you like outdoor dining, you'll enjoy the scenery. The ocean is across the street! There was a slight breeze and the shade under the trees made the humidity feel better. Personally, I dislike the traffic passing by, the feral roosters and hens, and the flies. That's why I prefer to take my food to Windward Mall (where it's air conditioned) or home. If you dine there, tables and chairs are available! FOOD: the chicken was BOMB! It was like my dad's, but maybe better because of the crispy skin and the savory flavor! It didn't have burnt skin like my dad's hulihuli chicken and that's a good thing! The meat was tender and moist! The long grain rice wasn't sticky (meh) and the corn was good! For $20 cash, the drive is worth it. Passing through Ahuimanu, you can visit The Valley of the Temples, Byodo-In Temple, and the McDonald's with a gorgeous setting. The greenery and natural landscaping is unique... just like this local small business... Support and enjoy!

I gotta say, our mobile orders are huge at any restaurant because we got a full house, and a few people like to complicate their orders so I never hold it against any restaurant when sh*t is little off. Anyway, we chose Jack's tonight, big order as usual, one was just my grilled chicken sammy, no bun, add bacon and Swiss style cheese. Holy shmokes. They made a beautiful lettuce wrap out of it, which I assumed they were just gonna put chicken and bacon in a wrapper...anyway I'm uploading a pic, friggen amazed. Delicious. Chicken wasn't rubbery, no weird hard parts. The rest of the order was on point except missing curly fries, but I just park and went in and they gave it to me no probs even though they were busy. Everything was fresh and good, except my mom needed to add shoyu to the fried rice, but for real why you even getting fried rice at Jacks is nuts. That is a hard no for me. Ok, but, overall this Jack's isn't terrible and typically the employees are so just...positively normal. Like people behaving normally..but also.. real-happy. I can totally tell the employees are getting along and get no negative vibes, which I really appreciate. Anyway, I think the Kaneohe Jack's might be upping their game, might be worth it to try. Remember, all the franchises out here are mostly individually owned or..ugh just so many variables but, things vary per location. Good luck. Oh, enjoy the pic of the lettuce wrap I attacked. SO ONO*** BTW for people who never eat fast food: nothing ever looks like the pictures for ANY fast food place, unless you in Japan, so just friggen eat it.

The order came out and we started to eat and we noticed the French fries were on the cold side and not crispy, so my wife went up and asked if we could have hot French fries, which they agreed and apologized for the wait to get the hot fries. They all were nice and helpful, it was worth stopping at this Jack in the box in Kaneohe. The only problem was the restrooms had out of service signs and there was no hand sanitizer around and with burger and fries you need to use your hands. Hope they can fix the restroom and put in hand sanitizer with Covid on the rise it would be good for the workers as well as for the customers.
