Braddah Hutts BBQ Grill
About
Island Flavor in the Heart of Hana
When you find yourself on the winding road to Hana, Braddah Hutts BBQ Grill offers a no-frills, authentic pit stop that captures the soul of Maui. This open-air roadside shack is where the scent of kiawe-smoked meat hangs heavy in the humid tropical air, promising a meal that feels like a backyard cookout with family.
The Hana BBQ Experience
The menu centers on hearty, plate-lunch style portions. The signature smoked ribs and succulent chicken are prepared using traditional island techniques that prioritize deep, savory flavors over pretense. You will see locals and travelers alike grabbing their styrofoam containers and heading toward the picnic tables to enjoy their food while listening to the distant rustle of palm fronds.
What to Expect
Do not come here looking for white tablecloths. Braddah Hutts is about the raw, honest utility of great food. Be prepared for the occasional stray chicken wandering near your feet and the limited parking space that requires a bit of patience during the midday rush. It is arguably one of the most reliable spots in East Maui to satisfy a heavy appetite after a long morning of hiking near the Hana rainforest or swimming at nearby beaches.
If you are trekking through the island's eastern coastline, this grill serves as a fundamental stop. It is functional, flavorful, and entirely grounded in the local pace of life. Order the combo plate if you want to sample the full spectrum of their smoker's output, and make sure to grab extra napkins—the sauce is messy in the best way possible.

Worth the wait!! We ordered the BBQ pork ribs and BBQ chicken plate which came with two scoops of rice and one of macaroni salad. The plates are definitely shareable, it was the best BBQ ribs we’ve had ever. Can’t wait to come back and visit in our next Maui trip! P.S. they take Venmo & cash only :) Thanks for such awesome friendly service & food Braddah Hutts BBQ Grill!

Best meal of our trip. Loved the grilled chicken platter. All their meats have a great glaze and are bbq’d to perfection. Stop he for lunch if you’re doing the road to Hana.

Authentic food prepared with plenty of Aloha! They are literally cooking in a outdoor kitchen next to their home. Such a great vibe here and the food is amazing. You just can't find this anywhere else. Do yourself a favor........go visit.

We ordered the pork ribs and the kalua pork. Both were tender and delicious. You eat outside. Great meal before our next adventure.

This was one of our absolute favorite food spots while visiting Maui! Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendliest two guys and their adorable pup. They truly know hospitality — you can tell they genuinely enjoy serving everyone who stops by. There are quite a few BBQ stands along the Road to Hana offering chicken, pork, and fish, but nothing compares to their perfectly charred chicken and the incredibly flavorful mac salad. The portions are also massive for the price! This will definitely be our go-to spot next time we’re in Maui. Highly recommend!

This was one of my favorite meals when visiting Maui. I ordered the chicken bbq platter. It had a great smoked flavor, and the chicken was nice and moist, especially because they use thigh meat. My pescatarian friend enjoyed her grilled salmon though that’s not what they’re known for. She said it was perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. She felt that the vegetables that came with the fish were fresh too.

Braddah Hutts is the best BBQ place ever! Being from Germany, we had our first lunch here in 2013. We had absolutely awesome Teri Chicken plates, the best we had on all islands. For our 2023 trip, we first had only planned to visit Oahu and Big Island, but then we deciced to add a stop on Maui for a few days and the main reason was: To be able to eat at Braddah Hutts! This time we also had a Rip and what shall I tell you: Those were the BEST I have ever had in my life (even better the ones my wife serves - sorry darling). The were extremely tasty, the meat just fell of the bone and was so soft and juicy. However, to write an objective opinion, they don't offer public restrooms, but even judging this, I'd give the food and the friedlyness of the staff a 6* if I could.

Not only the best food we got on Maui, but possibly the best pork ribs I've ever had. They were thick and meaty, and fall off the bone tender. The portion was so large, we could not close the lid to the container. The BBQ sauce was tasty but not overpowering. The mac salad was also really good, and I'm not much of a mac salad fan. It had some real veggies in it, and it wasn't overly mayonnaisy. Service was amazing- super friendly. If this place existed within an hour of our home, I'd be fat in no time!
