| - I can't believe this place has been right under my nose all this time!
Ohana Hawaiian BBQ is located on the southwest corner of Warm Springs and Eastern Avenue.
Wanting to try something new, we found this place on Yelp!. Luckily, the place was empty when we got there yesterday, so we were able to step and up and order something right away! The young lady was polite and answered a bunch of questions about menu items without showing the slightest agitation.
I opted for the 2/2 combo, which allowed me to choose 2 meats to have with my sides of rice(2 scoops) and mac salad(1 scoop)($9.75). I chose the Hawaiian BBQ chicken and hamburger steak. How do you go wrong there, right? My friend decided to go with the Hawaiian Combo mix(also $9.75). We ordered a couple of small drinks and I honestly can't remember the price for drinks, but I can tell you they serve Pepsi products(Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, etc) and refills are free.
The place was clean and set up nice for the small area they have, with plenty of booths and tables available. They also have a TV set up on the wall playing ESPN. I definitely enjoy that!
I was pleased with how everything was going to this point, but now it was all about the food!
Arriving in styrofoam containers, the first thing that struck me was portion size. For your money, you get a healthy amount of food. Not only that, they certainly don't skimp on the meat portions!
The chicken was freaking phenomenal! Extraordinarily tender and juicy, I found myself woofing that down in no time! The hamburger steak was tasty, as well. Covered in gravy, think a really, really good salisbury steak! I hadn't had salisbury steak in forever!
The rice was alright. You did recieve 2 scoops, so the portion was plentiful. It was a nice change of pace enjoying the mac salad. It's not too often I see this as a side, with the exception of some sub shops.
I have a pretty hearty appetite and can definitely put it away, but I actually had to finish this off later at home!
I really enjoyed this place and have already made plans to go back very soon to try other items on the menu! Can't find a good reason to knock a star off of their rating, so its ..
5 stars!
