L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

We were greeted with Aloha coming in for lunch. The employees were friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Very fullfilling plates. The food was made to order. The food was fresh, fast, juicy, and tasty. We were the only ones eating inside for lunch on a Friday, while there was a lot of takeout. The food was very reminiscent of my trips to Hawaii. Their Hawaiian decor is fun. Tho the tables are sticky. Maybe it's the wood varnish degrading? Also, half the soda fountain was out of order. I would come back.

Always delicious and you get huge portions! I love their barbeque chicken, tossed salad (and house dressing), and macaroni salad. You can easily make two meals out of one order. Staff are courteous and helpful.

Super cool spot to get some awesome Hawaiian food that’s pretty hard to find in this area. Learned it was a chain afterward, although it doesn’t seem like a big chain - it’s just got all the best benefits with a well developed menu, very efficient, and high quality. Never had Hawaiian food before, and this was super great. So many options that I can’t wait to come back and try next time!

Menu changed? No more BBQ Mix? Management? Not sure, but quality and quantity changed a lot. Very small portion for the rice bowls which costs more than $10 if you include tax and tip. Beef was like jerky not like before that was tasty and juicy. This time, they were dry, dark, tiny pieces, and very sweet. Ramen noodles were soggy, bland soup, but at least, the chicken katsu was okay. Mixed veggies on the rice bowls were watered down like sponges filled with water maybe the veggies were soaking in the pan filled with water. Too expensive for small portions and the food was not good at all. Service is quicker compared to the old L&L though. I hope C&C is still around because they were as good as the old L&L.

This is our first time here! We've heard about them in the Virginian Pilot and we have been so excited to give them a try ever since. We were not disappointed! The Loco Moco is a dish served with 2 hamburger patties topped with 2 runny eggs and drenched in a brown gravy with a side of mac salad. It had the same hearty, delicious taste that I remember from the islands. I have to say, I just love the combination of the warm, tasty gravy with rice with a runny egg and a piece of hamburger patty and the cool mac salad combination, it really is a perfect bite. The traditional barbecue platter had a sampling of all the barbecue selections, and it too was amazing. The saimin was perfect, and it easily warmed me up. Lastly, we also had the musubi trio, which had a spam, fried chicken, and barbecue chicken versions, and all three were awesome, I think I could have just this and be completely satisfied. One thing to note is that they only serve kalua pork on Fridays and Saturdays, so we weren't able to try it on this visit. The menu is pretty big so we have to go multiple times to try everything. Overall, it exceeded my expectations! The food very much brought me back to the meals we've ha
