Didn’t know what we wanted for dinner and this place popped up on door dash. The food was amazing. We are all stuffed with leftovers. We will definitely return! Great value. Amazing food. Fantastic flavor.

May 18, 2024This place is incredible! We first had Hawaiian BBQ in FL and couldn’t find a place locally until I stumbled upon this one. It is equivalent to the FL BBQ! So happy to have Hawaiian BBQ at home!

February 18, 2024I love this place. I try eating here once a week. I absolutely love their panko chicken sandwich and Hawaiian style fries. Definitely try that.

We tried this last night. It was so good that we went back again tonight. We don’t even live in Lexington. It takes us 40 minutes to get there. It’s that freaking good.

November 30, 2023Loved the food. Went for a Birthday meal and will stop by every time I come down from Chicago. Wish we had one up by me.

Very good food and great prices. I just wish it had more seating. Definitely 10 out of 10 recommend.

July 19, 2023Ok, so whoever got you a 4.8 star is and IDIOT because I'm telling you right now, you have not earned a 4.8. In no universe is your food a 4.8. Not even in an alternate universe. We got 4 dishes, we had a HUGE meal and still had leftovers (which was the goal). Literally NOTHING that I ate was LESS than a 5.0!! Your food is FABULOUS and your wait staff is equally impressive!!

March 29, 2023I stumbled across this wonderful place and now not only are we raving fans, I have converted my family and co-workers. Truly crave-able food. My favorite is the Big Kahuna Burger. 🍔 It's hard for me to try anything else on the menu because I love it so much. But I plan on trying the Mahi and Shrimp the next time I go. The sides are also excellent.🍟🍚

My son and I live 31/2 hours away he always raves about this place said it’s his favorite any where to eat . He loves the vibe and music so I decided to eat here myself coming back thru from Indy and let me tell you this place is off the chain . ❤️ I got the blackened mahi , sticky rice and macaroni salad OMG. This will be my go to place from now on . I brought 2 other friends along that had never ate there and they absolutely loved it . So kuddos to the Chef meal was great service was excellent.
