Big Kahuna Hawaiian BBQ began as a small family-owned spot in the early 1990s, founded by island natives who wanted to share the flavors of home with their new community on the mainland. What started as a humble counter-service eatery quickly expanded as word spread about its generous portions, smoky barbecue plates, and the unmistakable aloha spirit that came with every meal. Year after year, the restaurant grew into multiple locations, each one carrying forward the same laid-back vibe and hearty Hawaiian comfort food.
While most fans know the classics—like their barbecue chicken, kalua pork, and short ribs—few realize there’s also a secret menu. Hidden items and creative twists have been whispered about among loyal customers, adding to the restaurant’s cult following. Yet through all the changes, Big Kahuna’s original signature dish still holds its place at the top, proving that some favorites never fade.
