Paniolo Santa Maria Style Bbq - Kapaa

We always forget this option because it connects to buildings. but there are always street parking places, and eating is delicious. I usually get the first-class rib sandwich with fries! it is so good and the price is extremely reasonable! it is also the perfect amount of food! good the price and visit worth it! extremely friendly and courteous! it is one of the only bbq places here!

The food is decent. A bit pricey for the quality. I had the tri tip cheesesteak at the recommendation of the waitress. The steak was just okay (could've been seasoned better) but the veggies and cheese were good in it. The BLT was okay, but lacked mayo, which seems like a travesty if you're from the south where these are a normal part of restaurant menus. The salad was tasty. They have a single waitress for the entire place and that means you may not see her again after you order. I guess that's why they have you pay/tip after you order instead of after your meal and service. She was probably doing the best she could but the lack of service was disappointing since we could never get her attention. They should try to find someone else or seat fewer people so you can actually ask for those simple things after your food arrives. We apparently arrived on open mic night, so just a heads up that the entertainment will either be pretty decent or entertaining for all the wrong reasons while people live out their dream of being a musician now that they're retired.

Let?s first start with the atmosphere. Restaurant is a family run place with stage for live music! The band while we were there was awesome! The food is delicious and the staff is warm and inviting. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the island. It was our first restaurant to try when we got here and we were not disappointed. This is a must visit place in Kapaa.

Really fun laid back place to drink and dance and have fun in a non-touristy environment. And it's BYOB with an ABC liquor store next door! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Food was meh. Surf and turf consisted of some TRI tip that was pretty good but the ono was lukewarm and dried out to a consistency of a wooden shingle. Place is pretty busy so after a few minutes I was able to flag someone down who went and got us a hot thick filet of Ono that was much better. Rice was an inedible clump of dried out something. Next time I think I'd stick to the sandwiches or burgers, bring a six pack or a bottle of wine and enjoy the band and the fun

First was a 45 minute wait for our food. We were the only ones eating so I’m not sure why it took so long. Then when the food got to us, it was cold, not even close to a warm meal. The ribs were tough, dry, and not edible. I couldn’t eat it and I returned my food. My boyfriend ate all his food and woke up the next morning nauseous and threw up twice. Probably the worst restaurant I ever ate at. Don’t recommend.
