Running Chef of Hawaii

At the Home Depot where house parking lot I had the pulled pork sandwich for 9 dollars it was about 2 and a half ounces of me what was burned and dry pork shoulder on a 3 day old walmart bunn. The BBQ sauce was a wasn’t sauce it wasn’t smokey it wasn’t sweet it wasn’t tangy it wasn’t spicy and it was cold. My order was to go yes I know I should have checked before leaving but the sides I got were both wrong I’d ordered coleslaw and beans and gotten Mac cheese and rice in general the food was WAY overpriced for the quality and the quantity. The quality and quantity was much much better when he was the front of costco.

When a Hawaiian friend suggested us to eat in a parking lot, we weren’t sure what to expect. Well, it absolutely exceeded our expectations. First of all, the spot has spectacular ocean views. Second, the food is amazing! Killer pull pork sandwich and BBQ ribs at excellent prices. Third, I forgot a hat I love under a table, when we came back the next day, it was Sunday and it was closed, so we called the number on the banner, and the owner, had not only found the hat, but drove half an hour just to give it to us!!! So if you want to eat great BBQ ribs, with a killer view and support an amazing local person, don’t leave the big island without visiting this food truck! (Note that location on Unilocal isn’t right. The truck is at Home Depot parking lot-​with killer ocean views– at kona)

We stopped here for lunch after some sightseeing. The smell of BBQ led us here. Everyone ordered ribs with assorted sides. The ‘Small Plate’ cost $ 9 and was more than enough food. The ribs were smokey and tender. Loved the pineapple slaw! Very friendly! !

Best BBQ you will find on this island. I come here practically everyday, had almost everything on the menu. It’s like a home cooked meal but better. The owner is really friendly and funny. He moved here from S. Carolina so you know you’re getting the best BBQ ;D. I defiantly recommend eating here, he even sells his BBQ sauce, I’ve bought some myself. It’s in the home Depot parking lot but this is defiantly a place that will grow. Some of the best food I’ve eaten!

Visitors from california here in Kona– we are expecting to pay more money for food than we do at home. A couple nights ago at the Queens Marketplace, while we were having a very tasty dinner, my daughter struck up a convo with a local family. Turns out the guy has a trailer at the home depot where he cooks Southern BBQ. Tonight we decided to stop by and pick up some to bring home. Wow! This food was delicious. I had the ribs with a Cole slaw and baked beans sides. Ribs were tender and so damn flavorful, beans were seasoned perfect. The slaw was good, my personal preference is to have a bit of kick to my slaw. if there had been a touch of horseradish added it would have been perfect. The pineapple added was a great touch. The rest of the family raved about their meals as well and we will definitely be returning. Oh yeah. 4 meals for less than 40 bucks! Well worth the visit! Thanks Charlie! You have a diamond in that trailer in that Home Depot parking lot :)
