This is our normal stop for lunch before departing for the Lihue airport, but were in the area and stopped by for lunch mid-vacation. I had the kalua pork and cabbage, egg drop soup, fries, small salad, and a piece of pie for $9.95. While kalua pork & cabbage is a favorite of mine, I had set my mind on... more

I go here once a month. Great Chinese and plate lunches. My favorite is the Orange Chicken. You definitely need to be hungry. Very cheap too. more

If the amount of food you receive for your money is your primary concern this may be the place for you, but if quality is any sort of priority to you head elsewhere! The restaurant is slightly tired and worn, but we weren't expecting a 5 star establishment so no suprise there. We stopped in for lunch and both got... more

We ate lunch on a saturday just before they closed at 1:30 pm. The waitress was very courteous and prompt. We had the kalua pork with rice and the teriyaki chicken sandwich with fries - both were very good. The meal was very inexpensive. more

We stopped in here for lunch after arriving on Kauai. Had the BLT and a fish sandwich. We liked the meal deal that included a side item, drink and sandwich AND dessert. We picked the cherry pie, which was more like a cherry cheesecake pie. The service was just fine. The place is a little dumpy, but dinnerware was clean... more

It is amazing to me that you can have wonderful homemade bread, great homemade soup, salad, an entree(we both had fish-mahimahi and salmon), your tea or coffee and homemade pie(coconut cream for me and macadamia nut cream for the DH) for $49(before tip) for the two of us. Lots of locals frequent this place, but once you go there as... more

I was so excited to eat here after reading such favorable reviews. The location was fine, the decor, ok; but the food......bad. Now it could be that I didn't realize what the local's cuisine was and expected something different. Regarding price, the bargain was for the local favorites; other items on the menu were in the range of $23, which... more

We eat here every time we visit Kauai. It's a wonderul local place, slightly off the beaten path, mostly frequented by locals. The food is great, the presentation on the plate is stunning, and the prices are unbeatable. If you want a great meal in a place witih local atmosphere at a great price, bring the family and settle down... more

My wife and I like to find places where the locals eat. Good food, good prices, good service. Well, we found all three at the Barbecue Inn not far from the Marriott in Lihue. We had read about the B/I in the AAA-guidebook for Kauai, and it was everything as advertised. Don't let the location and decor mislead you; locals... more

My husband and I, on our last day in Kauai, stopped some locals and asked them to suggest a good place to eat. They suggested this place and we were skeptical at first. It's off the beaten path, down an alley, but we had the best seafood there. We tried the Shrimp Scampi and the Opah. The Opah was to... more
