I've walked past this little restaurant for years not knowing what I was missing out on. A friend recently told me that the food is really good so I tried it. And wow, it was excellent! I got the regular barbecue chicken plate which was only $11.55, which is cheaper than the mini meal at L&L. It was loaded with chicken, which was delicious and cooked perfectly. It was 100% better than L&L which often gives you old hard rice. I later tried the fried fish and fried shrimp which were also ono! The max salad is on point too. They also have a fresh steamed fish plate in addition to many other local items. So if you're looking for the best plate lunch in East Oahu, drive over to Aina Haina and check this place out. The other customers told me that they have an excellent hamburger and the best french fries around. Plus the staff is nice!

Great food at affordable prices. Different Special every day for 11.55 combo plate. Regular plates are 11.25.

Can't believe I've walked past the only decent lunch in Aina Haina shopping center for almost two years without ONCE stopping in to try it. Its a pretty unassuming, plain interior. Faded photos and handwritten signs, but clean and well-kept. Menu has a pretty broad variety, mostly the standard plate lunch staples plus burgers, fries, and breakfast. We got the BBQ plate (teri beef, bbq chicken, kalbi) and a lemon chicken plate. Both regular size. Prices are really fair, mix plate was like $15 and most of the single choices were just under $12, and despite that the portions were pretty generous. I had almost half a plate for lunch tomorrow. Most importantly, the food was fresh and overall pretty good. Kalbi and teri beef were tasty, satisfying but the teri was a little chewy. BBQ Chicken was the highlight, super good! Lemon chicken: good, borderline over-sauced though. It did start to get soggy, and it could use a little bit of spice like some pepper or chili. Also, despite not being a huge mac salad liker, it was good! I actually finished it. Overall, I will probably be back if we're in the area around lunch/dinnertime again. At least to try those burgers!

Always LOVE eating there. We buy from there several times a week. Much better than L&L or Loco Moco. Great prices, portions, taste, & service. Will not disappoint. Highly RECOMMEND

Their burgers are made with homemade patties. My suggestion would be to get the double cheeseburger with extra cheese. Their seafood combo plate looks really good, think i'll have that next. The best advice I can give you is to call in your order, do a load of laundry, fold it, and then pick up your order. You will thank me later lol. All kidding aside, I'm pretty sure they are doing a lot of takeout, so don't be fooled by the empty seating. The people are very friendly. I enjoy BBQ Town, it reminds me of a mom/pops restaurant. Very affordable!

This place has been my dads favorite for years, especially he recommended the bbq chicken. It was my first time trying the lemon chicken, and I was surprised on how tasty it was. Big portion, great taste, definitely the best bbq chicken ever!!! Way cheaper than other places including L&L, and it is a MUST come back if you're around Aina Haina. Next time I'll try the bbq short ribs :)))

What a gem! We ordered the chicken katsu and it was crispy and not over cooked or hard. The katsu sauce was on par. I also ordered a BBQ chicken plate and it was savory and well cooked. Next time I'll be trying their burgers since I've now heard about them. The cashier is a very nice lady and very helpful when I did my ordering. The place is nice and clean and the prices are good. I'll definitely be coming back often.

Shrimp burger had deep fried shrimp katsu with tasty mayonnaise and clean lettuce. Lady who took my order was very kind and uplifting. I just wish the food was healthier, then I'd come more often. Thank you for a lovely ambience~!!

After seeing my Yelp buddy - Lori I's great review about "BBQ Town Drive Inn", I'll be totally honest with you to say that I was a bit skeptical about her statement of - "best chicken katsu plate lunch"! I should have known better to second guess Lori I., as she is one of the foremost connoisseur of Frrrrrrried Chicken, as well as Chicken Katsu!!! Lol! The verdict???? BING! BING! BING! Da chicken katsu plate lunch @ BBQ Town Drive Inn was bomb @ss good!!!!! Good enough for an easy 5 stars on Yelp!!!!! Located at the Aina Haina Shopping center, you can find BBQ Town Drive Inn just next door from Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha, or next door from the Territorial Savings Bank. A small little diner, serving up great local style comfort food. A few things I LOVED about this business - 1. It was a small locally-owned business. 2. During these tough economic times due to high inflation, it is refreshing to see that this locally-owned business tries to keep their plate lunch prices in check. The plate lunch prices were very reasonable! 3. The food portions at BBQ Town Drive Inn are pretty generous. If you're a BIG EATER, then you've hit paydirt by coming here! 4. Fast & Friendly service. The lady clerk who took my order was nice, and my Chicken Katsu plate came out in a timely fashion. 5. Easy access - since this diner is located in a major mall, there is plenty of parking at the Aina Haina Shopping center. 6. Last of all, if you're a big fan of Chicken Katsu, then you must try BBQ Town Drive Inn's version of their chicken katsu, as their chicken meat was plump & juicy. It was fried to perfection, and the portions were more than enough for a fat guy like me! Lol! Jonsing Chicken Katsu? Give BBQ Town Drive Inn a try! Don't thank Bruddah Fran for da tip, you gotta give all da props to Lori I.!
