Pulehu Pit BBQ

Great food, amazing value and a friendly face. Sam is a guy who really knows his stuff and you can tell through his food. So delicious! I really enjoyed his pork ribs and brisket. The sauces accompanied to the plates of meat were amazing and really enhanced the flavor of the meat. The thick and tasty (or sweet and smokey) sauce was my favorite, but there was also the lilikoi and guava thinner sauces that were also good and gave a nice sweetness to the hearty meat. Please come here if you enjoy delicious savory meats of many varieties.

Amazing food!!! Huge portions one plate is big enough for two to share! The brisket and pulled pork are delicious!!! Ask to try all the sauces… Unique and so flavorful! A gem of a find on our trip!!!

Stopped by for lunch today. This place has some awesome brisket and pulled pork. It was some of the better brisket and pork that I have had from a restaurant or a food truck. It was definitely worth the 8 minute drive from Kona. If you are in the mood for some awesome smoked brisket and pork you should definitely stop by. We are leaving so we won’t be back until our next trip.

The best BBQ in Big Isle! Quality food! So much aloha put into prep! Awesome work Sam!

Yum! This is some seriously tasty BBQ, and as somebody who grew up in Texas, that’s serious praise. Especially for a trailer out behind the Costco. I can’t wait until I visit the Big Island again, and they move into a real location. The owner says he’ll be able to expand to brisket and chicken with a real on-​site smoker. Yum!
The one thing they could add: a thick, Texas style BBQ sauce. I know it would be a different taste, but I love some thick, spicy sauce.

We kept talking about this place all trip, and probably will after we get home as well. Ok we still have a couple of days left by Hawaii but this meal will be hard to beat.
It’s so unassuming, perhaps even less decked out than the average food truck I’ve seen. Just a guy with a trailer and BBQ banner, next to Costco.
This was hands down the best pulled pork I’ve ever had. Juicy, tender, flavorful, and with just the right amount of fat. The guava sauce adds a perfect touch of sweetness. The beans were also really good.
Oh and to add to the goodness, 10 bucks gets you the biggest freaking plate of food ever, I think it was a solid half pound of meat… I had the leftover later that day and it was fantastic even cold.
If you want pork come here and come early, he stays until it’s all gone. We were here at 1pm and the ribs were already out. He should open up a shop and it would kill it.

I have seen the food truck next to Costco’s for a while & finally stopped by. OMG, so happy I did. My husband & I ordered a pulled pork sandwich & rib combos & shared. The pulled pork sandwich had so much meat & extra off the sandwich, lilikoi BBQ sauce was the best BBQ sauce I ever had. The beans also awesome, not just plain, almost like chili, which they also serve but out of by the time we stopped by. So much food I was full all day, will definitely be stopping by again & recommending them to others.

Best pulled pork ever! I got the triple combo plate with pulled pork, ribs and chili. Portions were massive and it was all delicious. I was able to take advantage of the free mini plate, and even that was large enough to feed my wife. My wife is super picky over coleslaw and she said it was one of the best.

A great stop from the airport to your hotel. This spot is a food trailer, with great meat and good prices for barbecue. They had ribs, pulled pork and were out of chili when I showed up just before 2pm.

OMG! This is the best! The meat is meaty, the sauce delicious, the coleslaw creamy and moist, the pulled pork out of this world, the beans unique and GOOD! Good value for your money-​hugh portions of good quality food! Plus the owner is nice and gave us great service! Use the check in special to get a free min-​plate (which is really a big plate). So: GO! Have the ribs and pulled pork :) Too bad he was out of his original sauce, but the liliokoi was delicious! GO! EAT! BE HAPPY!

Sam is the man! He makes the best BBQ pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw. I am a coleslaw snob and his is the best! He always provides service with a smile. I am so glad he is right by my work. High recommended!!!

Good local style barbecue.
large portions. I have tried the rib plate and the pulled pork sandwich. Both were good. They set up makai of Costco. Defiantly worth trying. Bring your apatite

When you think of BBQ, you think shoyu base. A welcome change to what BBQ is.
Pickled onions and pickles!
