Wanted to try a more local place for lunch. The very colorful and vibrant building is hard to miss. They have a full menu and even pictures to help you decide on what to eat. The price for 5 of us was $100. Pretty respectable for our experience on the big island so far when it came to eating out. The staff was ok and wasn’t very talkative. A little communication barrier might have present.
The meals we all had were tasty and plenty of it. It wasn’t fine dining but it wasn’t gas station food. It hit the sweet spot of island dive restaurant with a slower pace.

It’s my first time to eat in this corridor. It’s carefully arranged, and the food is great! The waiter is also very enthusiastic, and the fish is very fresh, which is simply an explosion of taste buds! I will come again next time.

DAY 2 of Vacation – After ziplining, we grabbed a snack in town, but we were extremely hungry. Found a nearby L&L BBQ. We have yet to try L&L being that they’re almost everywhere.
Parking: They have a small parking lot. Free parking. Finding a spot can be a hit or miss.
Ambiance/Environment: Everything is outdoors. This location definitely gave local vibes. Can’t miss the building bc the colors are so bright.
Service: The only interaction we had was with the cashier. He had a bit difficulties understanding us while ordering, but we were able to get through it lol. Throughput was quick; we received our orders within 8 minutes.
Food: I ordered the Chicken Katsu and spam musubis. These portions were large! My plate came with a generous amount of protein, rice, mac salad, and lettuce. Everything tasted delicious! We shared the spam musubis, and they tasted as expected.

It’s so comfortable to come and play in this small rural town, enjoying the sea breeze and having fried chicken cutlets!

Excellent food! We will definitely come back here to eat. We ordered at the walk up window and ate on the lovely porch, overlooking the down town area. We had the mixed BBQ playe and Kaula Bowl. Both were great and served generous proportions.

I came here after reading some reviews and they were not wrong! You definitely get your money’s worth on the amount of food you order. I got the regular chicken katsu and I’ll have to take it home for leftovers the portions were huge! I would definitely come back here to try other stuff.
Also what’s nice is that they take credit cards!

It’s been awhile since I’ve gone to an L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, so needless to say, I was pretty stoked to get a meal. The restaurant is hard to miss, as it’s painted in bright, tropical colors; but that definitely fits the vibe I assume they’re going for. There’s lots of outdoor seating on the deck and it was easy to find a good spot in the corner that overlooks the main drag. As for the most important part, the food, it didn’t disappoint. For a little over $12 (I ordered brown rice instead of white, so I was charged 50 cents more), I got a pretty serious heap of BBQ chicken, salad, and the aforementioned rice. All of it was fresh and delicious, and because of the quantity, I had to take some of it home (I don’t usually do that). The only issue was that the lady that originally took our order had a difficult time understanding what we wanted, but that’s not a deal breaker because, whom I assume was the manager, stepped in and got our order punched in correctly. Overall, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is an incredible bang for your buck, so don’t hesitate to pay them a visit if you are ever in town.

After conquering the long hike of the Pololu Valley, we stumbled upon this restaurant and it was a perfect. The portions were generous, exactly what our tired bodies craved. I opted for the garlic shrimp, and oh boy, it was a flavor explosion! I’ve never had that much garlic in one meal, but it was cooked to perfection. A must-try for anyone in the area!
