Family Barbeque
About
A Neighborhood Staple for Island Comfort
Tucked away in the heart of Honolulu, Family Barbeque serves as the quintessential stop for those craving a heavy-hitting plate lunch. The air inside is thick with the scent of char-grilled meats and the hum of a busy kitchen pumping out portions that lean toward the generous side. It is the type of spot where the walls are utilitarian and the focus remains entirely on the tray in front of you.
The BBQ Experience
The menu leans into local favorites, specializing in classic Hawaiian-style BBQ meats. The kalbi short ribs are a standout, charred to develop a slight crust while remaining tender enough to pull away clean from the bone. Most patrons opt for the combo plates, which arrive piled high with two scoops of sticky white rice and a creamy mac salad that hits that perfect balance of salt and tang. Whether you are grabbing a quick lunch while working in the city or picking up a heavy dinner for the family, the food is consistent and unpretentious.
Know Before You Go
While the flavor profile is top-tier for local cuisine, keep in mind that this is a grab-and-go heavy environment. Parking in this busy corridor of Honolulu can be a bit of a challenge during the lunch rush, so plan for a brief search or consider visiting during off-peak hours. It is an ideal spot for anyone seeking authentic flavors without the fanfare of a sit-down service, offering a genuine taste of Honolulu’s casual dining culture.

That Korean fried chicken has to be the some of the BEST I’ve ever had. I’m addicted to KFC, and the prepackaged rice/KFC combo has another level of flavor that I would say 75% of restaurants don’t include. The crust is sized well, crispy and well made. Lots of bonchon. Very unassuming spot, and really nice lady there too. I love spots like this. You can flex at the airport with this take out. While everyone else pays hefty sums for French fries

Ordered the House special bbq, great mixed bbq plate with choice of four sides. Glad I discovered this restaurant before my departure. Food was a solid 10/10, pair that with the great customer service here and you cant go wrong.

Cold, slim pieces of meat jun. after paying, cashier said it was premade / not made to order. They also had packaged raw meat in a bucket. Unknown if it was for human consumption or its purpose.

Be the envy of everyone at the airport by rolling up with a plate lunch from here before your flight. Unless you just love airport Burger King (no hate, just saying). The regular plate with 4 sides was enough for both me and my husband to have a filling lunch before takeoff. The bbq chicken was well marinated, tender, and the perfect about of grilled char. The cucumber kimchi is perfectly crunchy with a good kick, the spinach is fresh, the fish cake was bouncy and seasoned well, and the tofu was fresh.

Good food with good portions! The spicy sauce was more sweet and spicy than spicy. The place has very little indoor seating- so you may have to sit outside (there is decent space outside)
