Chicken In A Barrel BBQ Wahiawa

We ate here last night, and unfortunately, it was a really bad experience. The chicken was undercooked—I almost threw up after the first bite. To make things worse, the prices were ridiculously high for the quality of food we got. Even the sweet potatoes were overcooked. Honestly, it’s just not worth it. I would highly recommend Zippy’s instead. Much better food and overall value. Really disappointed with this place. :( P.S I decided to to takeout the chicken and cooked it again to my home

Chicken was super yummy. The wait staff was running around keeping the drinks topped off and cleaning up as they could. Will definitely be back.

Bbq chicken smoked to perfection. My husband and I shared the mini plate with side of baked cornbread. We are not big eaters and it filled us up. We will be returning the next time we pass through Wahiawa. It adjoins pizza place.

Chicken smoked to perfection! Flavor was explosive. Chicken was juicy! Island Mac was authentic as can be and rice was cooked perfect as well. Amazing!

I had high expectations coming here because of people’s recommendations and the high rating. To sum everything up in one word, DRY. This place is pretty expensive, a rack of ribs is $50! The place could be cleaner. It’s not an actual restaurant. You order and then go eat at a table and throw everything away yourself, more like fast food. I would compare this to El Pollo Loco. The person at the register was in a mood on top of everything. The one thing that I did like was their corn bread, French fries and sweet potato fries. Atmosphere made up for it or it would be two stars. Some lady was sing in the small stage they had. She wasn’t great, but it was good enough.
