I visited this most amazing GJ’s Huli Chicken by pure chance and let me tell you- THE BEST CHICKEN I HAVE EVER HAD—-HANDS DOWN. Initially- from the roadside, we saw the rolling smoke as the chickens were being cooked, then decided to stop and see what all the people in line were waiting for. So glad we stopped. I recommend this place to everyone!! You’re going to love it! Menu has lots of grilled meats and sides to offer!!
We are here on our loop around the island and it was worth the stop. We would have loved to try the beef ribs also but they were out when we arrived — next time! The chicken portion is super generous and wow it’s soo tender and juicy. It falls right off the bone. We shared one plate and it was more than enough for a light-ish lunch. I could’ve skipped the Mac salad and done double rice.
I was extremely impressed with this chicken. Super moist and the smoke flavor is just right. I paired it with GJ's homemade recipe vinegar sauce and I would put it right there with the best bbq / smokehouses in the Kentucky Tennessee area. Did I mention the banana lumpias where amazing.
Excellent chicken, worth the hype and an hour drive from Kailua-Kona. Chicken was very moist and flavorful, even for the second day (just heat it in the microwave). Go early as the place is very popular. Open on weekends only. Just get the chicken. Pork ribs were very chewy and burnt. Price was expensive. $22 for a whole chicken. $17 for pork ribs. $20 for a chicken plate. Take out only. Plenty of parking as the place is operated in an empty lot on the side of the road.
Probably the best chicken I ever had. So tender and juicy! Stumbled upon GJ while being on vacation. A must visit :)
If you don’t stop when they are fired up you are a fool. This is some of the best chicken you will ever eat in your life. We bought it on the way to the lookout and 6hrs later this chicken was falling apart. I knew when I grabbed this chicken it was either eat it immediately or wait and let the juices congeal. It was amazing. This chicken is perfectly cooked and seasoned. It is so juicy it leaked through 2 bags, a cloth bag, onto the floor of our car, and after putting in into another plastic bag could we only stop the juices from finding its lowest point. Hands down the best chicken. Don’t ask questions just make a point to stop.
Awesome family run huli huli chicken stop. They give you a ton of food, it is easily shareable. I loved the ribs the most! The marinade was unique and tasty. Bring a towel to sit on and enjoy your meal in the sun.
Absolutely awesome place, this is a must check out. Hands down the best chicken I have ever had. All the ribs were incredible too. Recommend the 3 meat plate
This place was truly so beautiful. We were at the Mauna Lani Resort for a week and we only made it to breakfast in person once but Iâm so glad we went. I got the French toast and my wife got waffles and oh my goodness they were so amazing, I ended
Don De Luca's is hands down the best Italian restaurant on the Big Island. The service is wonderful, the food is tasty and comes to two portion sizes (half and full), and they, of course, have a bar service. The Chicken Marsala was amazingâthe chic
Bobby's beginner yoga flow class was outstanding! There were so many different types of people in class. Over 5 teenagers that I think were from a swim team, moms, dads, young, mature, seniors....Bobby caters to just about everyone who wants to have
Beautiful canyon. We could not view certain parts due to fog. The waimea lookout was completely not visible the day we were out there but I hear itâs beautiful on a clear day. We were still happy with the parts we saw. A beautiful scenery and drive
Beautiful picturesque place... About 1/2 hour hike down ... 45 minutes back up.. Make sure you wear good walking shoes ð ð ð Be careful And take a walking stick...
I did a morning 2 tank charter with the Blue Wilderness crew and it was awesome! The team and captain were super personable and upbeat throughout the morning, gave thorough dive briefings and split the divers into two groups (beginner and advanced) w
Awesome customer service the food is delicious and vegetarian friendly. The spicy veggie ramen was 10/10 and the toasty onigiri was the perfect texture! We will definitely be back.
Excellent park with picnic tables and a stream! Kiddo loves chasing the chickens and there is a short trail (about 1 mile long) to walk. Trail pretty well maintained and no big hills.
We had such a great time here for dinner! The vibe was on point and service was friendly and quick. We got a flight sampler and some food. Food tasted great and priced reasonably especially compared to a lot of places on the Big Island. Parking was l
This is a super interesting place to see if you are interested in learning about Hawaiian history. There are a lot of ruins here. I wish there was a bit more information available. The area is very open and you are free to explore the paths, I donâ
This is a wonderful cultural gem. It is a great opportunity to learn a little about ancient Hawaiian activities and rituals. It is a really easy hike, but as some people have suggested, wear somewhat sturdy shoes. The trees drop thorns that went all
