L & L Hawaiian Barbecue

🤩🤙🏽🥰 If you've been to Hawaii, or been to one of the fabulous Hawaiian style restaurants on the west coast....
this little gem off Abercorn is a must try! Been living in Savannah area for 9 months, and randomly Googled "Hawaiian food near me." I could not believe that the first thing I saw was L&L Hawaiian Barbecue.
Like for real? Yes, for real! Growing up in Hawaii, and going to the University of Hawaii at Manoa....
L&L was a staple for any kama'aina (local).
We go there for lunch, for dinner, in between classes or cut class and take a plate lunch to the beach with us! L&L was anywhere and everywhere. And the Savannah location DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The atmosphere instantly gave me that back home irie vibe and it smelled so good I was drooling as I swayed to the music.
But that first bite of that BBQ chicken..
OMG, it's 1998 at Hsle Wainani again! Total Time Machine Trip! Mahalo Nui Loa to the owner for bringing this onolicious food to me, and everyone else in the area! I hate that I'm leaving to Pensacola (no L&L there...
yet), but I'm definitely coming back before I go...
and I'm catering yall for my going away lu'au!

So this is my first time trying this restaurant.
I lived in Hawaii for 5years and was craving the food and flavor.
I must say they didn't miss! I will be back.
Even my picky 8year old loved the chicken and wanted more.
The food was delicious 😋

Update: February 2024 I gave them another shot and it was just as bad if not worse.
They started putting onion in their Mac salad.
the chicken tasted so old and reheated ten times.
I posted an updated picture of my chicken this time.
I fed it to my dog.
Very disappointed.
I miss legit Hawaiian food so bad.
I can’t imagine the owners would want to eat the chicken I received today. September 2024 — I’m glad you guys have good reviews, but I just can’t leave one.
I’ve been to several L&L’s on the west coast and this food just doesn’t taste anything like it.
This food doesn’t taste anything like Hawaiian bbq.
It’s not inedible but it’s not very good… I was soooo excited when I saw some comforts of home where here, and just felt so dissatisfied with each bite.
Hawaiian style Mac is so simple but still packs so much flavor, this is completely missing the mark.
It is just a pile of loose wet vinegary noodles.
The teriyaki sauce is like water.
My chicken is covered in pepper?? It just tastes like someone who has never eaten Hawaiian food is cooking.
What sucks the most is that two bbq plates, a side of mac salad, and teriyaki sauce cost $70 through Uber eats.
This should be hitting the mark for those prices!!!!!
