L&L Hawai‘ian Barbecue 75-5595 Palani Road, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

"Better quality than I had expected. We’ve only tried a few different plates, but the bbq chicken is a favorite. Communication at this particular location can be challenging, but the portions are huge, and it’s ready quickly."

"It's a good quick in and out for early 6am breakfast. They got good prices and the Loco Moco is on menu. Eggs and spam or eggs and bacon are good my kids like them. Comes with hash browns. We are early birds so there was not many places open 6am. 10min walk from the Marriott. We took it back and ate at the seawall and enjoy the sunset."

"The food was good. The service was excellent. I wasn’t personally a fan of the Mac-N-Cheese though. I got the BBQ Mix meal so that I could try a variety. There is a lot of food, enough for a couple of days for me."

"Decided to try this place because we were looking for something quick to take home. This was perfect. It's simple cafeteria-style food served in to-go boxes. After a long day in the water or hiking, this was great to pick up and take home for a quick meal. You get a lot of food and it's made quick. I got the Hamburger Steak which comes with white rice and macaroni. It's good, relatively cheap, quick and easy to take-out. Recommend on the way home after a long day!"

"Big servings at a reasonable price. Our order was taken within a few minutes of arrival and it looked like all was cooked to order — we got a small bbq chicken and a regular bbq mix and everything was ready within 10 minutes. The mini was practically the same size as the regular. They also have an option to order online. There isn’t much atmosphere to the joint, the kitchen is loud, the space is limited, and brightly lit, but the food is good and serves well as takeout. The bbq sauce the meat is cooked in was appetizing, but I would’ve preferred more of it to be able to use with the rice too. If you don’t like mayonnaise, the sides aren’t for you (macaroni salad was heavily coated). In a small-size BBQ chicken meal I got a scoop of rice, scoop of macaroni salad, and three chicken fillets. The large-size BBQ mix came with two scoop of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and four fillets/short ribs. There is limited indoor seating, and some outdoor seating in the area. Plenty of parking on the plaza."
