Fall off the bone ribs! Put that caramelized crust on a shoe and you’ll be asking for more. Rivals any rib joint in Texas. If you make it to Kona, this is the place to grind.

Amazing ribs and burgers. We saw all the great reviews and decided to try it. It was totally worth the stop. Even though it might not appear to be that great, it is a must eat! Don’t just search for the best poke on the island, come and eat this! Our only regret is not coming here sooner!

Wow, terrific BBQ ribs and burgers located in a cute tiny stand off the beaten path. Generous portions that were so yummy, we all cleaned our plates. The owners were so friendly and it’s a lovely place to shop for souvenirs. You should call ahead if you want the BBQ, just to make sure they aren’t sold out. PS. You want the BBQ.

We stopped by the marketplace on our way into downtown Kona. Everyone in the entire market here is very friendly and we could smell the BBQ from the parking lot. We shared a half rack of the ribs that came with rice, coleslaw, and a slice of pineapple and it was awesome! The ribs came right off the bone and we cleaned the plate. Delicious! Highly recommend!

Probably the best BBQ in town… Service was amazing. The husband and wife owners were great to talk with.

The BBQ burger was amazing! Love finding awesome little local owned shacks with good food. The BBQ sauce was so good. We even dipped our chips in it. The owners are super friendly and know good BBQ.

Very disappointed based on the reviews. Hamburger was something I’d expect at a backyard BBQ. Ribs were dry but drenched in sauce. Threw away most of my food.

Had to try this place after all the great reviews here and trip advisor. So very delicious! The ribs are fall off the bone heaven and the pineapple, rice, and slaw just tie the whole meal together! The owners were so kind and even came out to check on us and take a picture for their FB page. If you love ribs, you have to stop by here and give them a shot!

I wasn’t hungry, but I’m a foodie, so I must… #firstworldproblems The $ 16BBQ ribs plate… YES! Order this! No its not the Deep South, its supposed to be different, so y’all quit your whining. This a sweet tangy Hawaiian BBQ sauce on some meaty fall off the bone pork ribs. Different and delicious! If you’re not too hungry, or have a small appetite, its enough for two people.

Solid BBQ joint! Everything we got was fantastic. Very reasonable prices, good portions, outdoor seating. Cute little stand in the(Ali’i?) market. Owners are very sweet. This was honestly the first place(besides Da Poke Shack) that we really loved on the island. Rib plate — fall off the bone, fantastic BBQ sauce. Comes with pineapple slaw(yum), and served over a bed of rice and slice of pineapple. Flavored balance themselves out perfectly. Hot dog — so sue me, a hotdog sounded great! All beef patty was solid. Only suggestion would be to have more fixin’s available for the burgers and dogs. Definitely come check this place out!

Disappointed after reading the high reviews of this BBQ place. Ribs were good but the sauce didn’t really have anything special to it. My husband got a burger and unfortunately it was a pre made frozen patty with little flavor and very pricey. Coleslaw just tasted like shredded cabbage with no flavor.

This review is based soley on the fact that I don’t care for sweet BBQ sauce and the sauce for the ribs and chicken are quite sweet. It’s a little pricey, in my opinion, for what you get. We stopped by today and got just the ribs and chicken minus the sides and it was $ 28.00(5 ribs and 10 chicken wings). Pretty steep for the amount of food we got. I will say the ribs were definitely fall off the bone though. Keep in mind this is a food truck in the Ali’i Marketplace so it’s more of a get it to go kind of set up. There are some tables and chairs in the lawn area but I would suggest getting it to go and enjoying at your condo if you’re staying in one.

One of the best meals I’ve had on the island. I had the ribs, the husband had chicken wings, and our friends got burgers. I tried it all and would order any of it again. The portions are big so come hungry and if you’re really feeling adventurous stop by the shaved iced place around the corner for a nice little palette cleanser.

Really good ribs. Served with a tangy BBQ sauce that doesn’t overpower the meat. Nice rice and pineapple with cole slaw. They run out so when they’re gone for the day, you have to try something else.

Sticky hands down the best bbq ever! We got the ½ rack ribs with cole slaw, rice and grilled pineapple and shared two plates amongst 3 ladies. We couldn’t finish it all. We will be back!

I loooove bbq so I was very excited to see this place so highly reviewed. It did not disappoint. Among the touristy vibe of the Kona coast, this was a little spot of calmly excellent bbq. The baby back ribs are melt in your mouth superb. The coffee-rubbed burgers are amazing. All told, an amazing lunch experience. Also there is an enormous local rooster named Richard who is super chill and hangs out looking for discarded food bits; he’s sweet as hell.

Delicious baby back ribs! Hubby and I definitely enjoy our BBQ and we were pleasantly surprised when our plates loaded with ribs, cole slaw, rice and a slice of pineapple came out. We wanted to try the chicken wings as well, however they were already sold out. Located in a cute area, perfect for strolling around. All outdoor seating, there are a lot of flies that will surround you because of the food. So, either deal with it or get your food to go. Highly recommended!

It’s a nice little shack inside a marketplace. We were looking for the BBQ smell and smoke, but there wasn’t any. The food was still great! My boyfriend had the baby back ribs plate, fall off the bones good, tho I didn’t taste any smoke flavor to it, the BBQ flavor saved it and made it still a great meal. I got the kona coffee rub burger, the rub was overpowering for my taste but it was still amazing! Owner was so generous he gave us a sample of his coffee rub. You will meet Alii, the market’s adopted dog. He’s friendly and hungry, prepare for those puppy eyes to ask for your food. I love dogs so it wasn’t a problem.

The food is absolutely amazing! My husband and I bought some of the owners seasoning and bbq sauce because it was so good. The only negative things is there were so many bugs flying around us because it’s outside but I would eat here again regardless.

Don’t let the hole in the wall look scare you. Had a half a slab of ribs and a cowboy burger. The burger was so good we didn’t use any condiments! The ribs fell off the bone and had a nice sweet tangy sauce. The rubs they used and the sauce are available for purchase. Will visit again! A must see«taste» if you are in Kona. In the Alii Gardens marketplace. You’d drive right by… If you didn’t know about it.
