This Hilo girl LOVES Frank's Food. :-) I always stop here before heading back to the mainland. Mahalo Frank's Food family for keeping it real.

Get some fresh and smoke meats! The best pipikaula in HI. It will look like you drove into someone’s yard but don’t worry, you are in the right place. Staff is super friendly and nice.

We are so excited. We had to move to the mainland for a job. We could not find any portuguese sausage here in el paso. So we took a chance and ordered 15lbs of it sliced. The minute we got it. We cooked it up with some eggs and rice. Brudha this was on point.
