Finally, unbelievably great barbecue at a value! First time here and was greeted by the very sweet owner lady who gave me some recommendations. I took all of them and, frankly, am blown away by the meal I just had. Ribs are not only fall off the bone, they easily shredded with your plastic fork they are so tender. This along with macaroni salad, an awesome side salad and a hefty desert for under $20. I'm a pretty big eater and couldn't finish it all. Will be here at LEAST 2-3 days a week to try every last thing on their menu. Bravo guys 🤙

Eat here!!! Omg it's sssooo good n the service is just as good!! We got the combination plate for $15 w bbq ribs n teriyaki chicken. It came w two sides a scoop of rice n island Mac salad. Try it spicy!!! We also got hooked up w a cream cycle cupcake that topped off our day!!! We will eat here every time we come downtown Denver. Thanks we loved it!! ❤️

Seriously some of the nicest people ever. They're straight up from Hawaii and the food is so good. I had Hawaiian food like 3 days ago but still couldn't pass this place up since I was down near there for work. Musubi - so unique, never had it this way before. The sauce is a nice touch. Lychee lemonade - so refreshing and light. Tastes very clean and not syrupy. Bbq ribs - absolutely phenomenal. The ribs are tender and not dry! The glaze is sweet. And the mac salad is like the ultimate potato/mac/crab salad. So so so good.

An honest boost to my entire day. You can feel the wonderful energy from both Kealoha, and whom I believe is his wife! Such kind wonderful people. They play beautiful music outside that adds to the experience. Small “Mom and Pop” shop, I am amazed at my Terriyaku Chicken as well as all the Ribs, Misubi etc I say come out of that very resourceful “kitchen-cart”. Much love for what they are doing, please do yourself a favor and go support!

Pardon my lipstick lol but I just want to say that Kealoha's BBQ is legit some of the best food I have had in not only Denver, but also in general. They are extremely kind, warm, welcoming, and seem to always been in great spirits even despite having sooo many orders because they're busy! The wait for the food is 100% worth it. I tell my coworkers about it, friends, and family. There other location is in Hawaii but I would love to see more of Kealoha's BBQ in more places!! 🪷❤️✨

My husband and I are from Houston and went on a little mini vacay to Denver since we had never been. We stumbled upon this cute place and I had never had any Hawaiian food so we decided to try it because I love trying new food. This place is amazing! The food was fantastic and we ended up eating it at a park not far from the place. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can get their food shipped to Texas! 😂

Amazing food. Tough to decide what to get but I chose the teriyaki chicken, rice, and greens. The chicken had a real nice grill char and the salad had a delectable dressing. Quality food and very nice people. Huge serving as well.

Awesome Hawaiian food in the heart of Denver! We had the teri burger and a mixed lunch plate with teriyaki chicken and kalua pork. The burger was fantastic and had an awesome grilled flavor, the bun was fresh and tasty, and the greens with lilikoi dressing were a tasty unique addition! LOVED the kalua pork- better than some I’ve even had in Hawaii! The service was super friendly too, would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again on my next trip to Denver!

Do yourself a favor and eat here. Wow it’s good. We ordered the loco moco, the bbq ribs and an order of spam musubi. The ribs were a huge standout. The meat is fall off the bone tender while still keeping the texture of meat. We got the spicy bbq sauce which was so full of flavor. It was sweet and slightly tangy with the barest hint of heat. There is a delightful hint of char on the meat and bones which makes me wonder how they produced such a perfect rib. The loco moco was every bit of delicious that I was expecting. It’s a very generous portion in addition to being filling. Even my 15 year old son wasn’t able to clean the plate as he usually does. The flavor of the brown gravy is soothing and calls to a nostalgia despite this being my first time having the dish. The musubi was equally a delight. The rice is fresh, cooked to perfection, with the right amount of bite. Not too dry nor too soft. The nori wrapping was flavorful and the spam was moist and tender. It was clear it was freshly made. The sauce that accompanies the musubi was excellent. I wouldn’t want to have spam musubi any other way. Not to forget the sides, the Mac salad is a perfect accompaniment to the loco moco. The salty and the creamy work together harmoniously. The surprise was the salad. I was enormously impressed with how a dish that is usually a forgotten and unloved add in at other restaurants was fresh and crisp. Not a single wilted green much less slime. And the dressing is just a delight. I believe it’s a creamy sweet wasabi that’s just heavenly. I could easily make a lunch out of the salad - perfectly dressed and topped with a crunch if some crouton product but much lighter and more delicious. It’s what croutons dream they could be. I’m already planning on getting the burger combo deal. $10 for one of their amazing burgers with a a drink is a huge value. I am torn between the bbq burger and the teriyaki burger. Edit - correction! The dressing is made from lilliquoi, a Hawaiian passion fruit sourced directly from the islands, and ginger. No wasabi at all. All the food including the sauces are made from scratch. The lovely couple that run the shop return to Hawaii every couple of months for supplies. Everything is fresh, scratch made and authentic Hawaiian. Kealoha and Christie are the real deal. So kind and friendly! Eating their food is experiencing Hawaii here in Denver.

I highly recommend this owner-operated Hawaiian food truck on the 16th Street Mall. Lilikoi is one of my favorite flavors, and it is featured in just about every dish. If you pick up, plan a little wait time after you order, but I promise it is well worth it! And this place has one of the best values for quantity of food. My only (very minor) complaint is that I wish you got a little more mac salad with the entrees. The owners are some of the nicest people making food in Denver! Please support them!

Thank you, Kealoha BBQ for 2 delicious authentic Hawaiian meals. The Kalua Pork, with rice and island mac salad was just like I remembered it in Hawaii. It was so good I came back another day for Lilikoi Chicken Salad and Spam Musubi. Just like the pork it didn't disappoint! Delicious!!

If you are looking to have good food with amazing taste, while also supporting a local business, come eat here! I am from Minneapolis, MN, in Denver for the weekend! Kealoah’s BBQ smelt so good in the neighborhood that we had to find where the aroma was coming from! The service was authentic, genuine and memorable. I ordered the Kailua Pork burger and my boyfriend had the Lilikoi ribs! The best Food we’ve had in Denver!

Love me a small, quick, takeaway kiosk. The lychee lemonade was phenomenal and I wish I could bottle it and bring it home to Kansas City. I was just looking for something light and easy and the spam musubi fit the bill.

This is hands-down the best Hawaiian food in Denver. No contest. Its the little details that really show the quality and care that goes into everything. The chicken is always melt-in-your-mouth juicy. The tangy dressing on the tossed greens is delicious. The mac salad is unique and has great texture, not soupy, not bland, just perfect. The way they do their spam musubi with a little spicy sauce and furikake takes it up that extra level. Everything is /so/ good. The owners are also extremely kind and friendly, and they've always got music playing outside. Just a fantastic spot.

Have been meaning to come here for lunch at work and I’m so glad I did. The owners are so sweet and the food is DELICIOUS!! I will definitely be back. You can order ahead from your office and pick up if you have a short break. So yummy!!

Cute stand in Denver. Ordered the ribs with rice. It took over 30mins to get the food which I thought was crazy. Anyway, ribs were good, started eating the rice and found a hair 😩🤢 So needless to say that was the end of that meal. I understand it’s a food truck, but come on. Wear protective items and check the food.

Once you find it, you'll have a great time! Excellent prices and delicious Hawaiian food served with a friendly smile! Be patient if there's a line, and you won't be disappointed once you receive your order 😋 I sure wasn't! I got their excellently prepared spam musubi and the Hawaiian lemonade both sincerely hit the spot! Can't wait to try even more from them!
