"Stopped for BBQ as we were traveling through California based upon positive reviews. We were hungry and everything sounded so good. We ordered Crazy Fries, a 2 meat combo plate (Brisket and St Louis Ribs) and an California Orchard Salad. The Crazy Fries came out fairly quickly and was substantial in size. The Crazy Fries are spiral cut potato wedges topped with bacon, pulled pork, cheese sauce, grilled jalapeño, cilantro crema, and salsa. Absolutely delicious. It was filling and we could have eaten it as our meal. Next to arrive was the California Orchard Salad. The Salad is a combination of green apples, grapes, oranges, strawberry, celery, almonds, cranberries, avocado slices, mixed greens and blue cheese crumbles. Because we were sharing the Salad and my husband doesn't like blue cheese, we had the cheese on the side. We were give several salad dressings to try. Honey mustard is our favorite but they had an avocado dressing plus a few others. To ensure we both will enjoy the Salad, we asked for honey mustard and avocado dressing on the side. Boy, were we glad. The avocado dressing was definitely not our preference. The honey mustard dressing complimented the fruit in our salad nicely. When the BBQ combo plate came out, we received a generous serving of Brisket and 3 sizable ribs along with Corn Bread and Garlic Bread. We couldn't decide which bread to try so we paid a little extra to get both. The bread came out grilled with a side of butter. The garlic bread was okay but the corn bread was very tasty, especially with it being caramelized on the grill. We tried several different BBQ sauce from the caddy but we like the Apricot Chipotle and the Smokey BBQ the best even though neither meats needed the sauce. Very Yummy! Finally, we chose roasted Brussel sprouts as our Market Side. It was a great choice. It was crispy, light and tasty. Very glad that we stopped for an early dinner. And, we brought leftovers with us for lunch tomorrow!"

"This is a new place in Napili, the BBQ pork was excellent with a nice smokey flavor, though called pulled pork it was actually bite size pieces. The chopped brisket is excellent and available as sliders, making for yummy appetizers. The service is good, the portions are more than ample and the sweet potato fries an excellent option. The blue cheese dressing was very watery so not a good option for dipping the fries into, the tarter sauce would be better. The BBQ sauce on the table had a good flavor with just enough bite to be able to enjoy it without having a moment of fire in your mouth. The fish n' chips was cooked in a light tempura style beer batter and was excellent, with fresh local fish of the day. You do need to ask before ordering since the fish varies, the night we were there it was Ono which is more of a steak consistency fish then a soft flaky fish as most people are used to. Reasonable corkage policy and on Tuesday nights all wines on the menu are 1/2 price which is a great deal, if you don't mind a limited selection of wines. The menu isn't big, they focus on beer more than wine. For beer lovers, this is a good place. Don't let the name mislead you, this is a good restaurant and one that is reasonably priced compared to others in the area and give you a lot more. Recommended without any question. Though the night we were there, they weren't that busy at 5:30, reservations might be recommended for later in the evening."
