Absolutely phenomenal BBQ! Bryan is so friendly and easy to work with. We met up with him for a tasting when he was at a brewery on Valentine’s Day, and were amazed. His prices are fair and he communicated well and responded quickly as we prepped for our event. He and his wife did an amazing job on our wedding! They brought their food truck in, prepped and set up everything and the BBQ was DELICIOUS!! 🤤 We’re still getting so many comments from our guests on how amazing the food was! Can’t recommend them highly enough! Amazing food, great service & communication, and just solid good people!

The Goold’s take pride in their work with food! One of my favorites of their menu is the Palangi Pork, which is their version of the Hawaiian Kalua Pork. They’re always tender & se...

asoned just right that can be served with mashed potatoes and or rice, and they still taste great!!! I love Stephanie’s fried rice too! I could eat so many different ones, but their’s is just as good or better than the Asian fried rice or Panda Express ones😋my preference:) and I love it! I personally love their professionalism and flexibility to our Pacific Islander communities & visitors of over 1000+ to our annual event. They are very good people and trustworthy and you won’t disappoint.
