Joe’s Backyard Bbq Lunchwagon - Aiea

Thank God I used the Google Maps app to search for food after visiting Pearl Harbor and found this place. First, Joe is a delete to speak with. Kind, friendly, good story teller. Double-checked to ensure we liked spicy food because the spicy sausage was indeed “en fuego”. I ordered the ribs and a sausage to try. So thankful I did. Flavor explosion and then a very nice kick.The ribs fell off the bone when I picked it up. Perfect amount of smoke, although Joe said he left them a bit too long for his own taste. Also just the right amount of BBQ sauce. Just enough that it didn’t take away from the meat flavor. Good sweetness to it. The big surprise was the coleslaw. Some of the best I’ve had.This place was well worth the price and a damned gem on O’ahu!

Omg! Just finished devouring my mixed plate from Joe's. Honestly, one of the best meals I've had in months. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the ribs were fall off the bone and luscious, the coleslaw had a kick of jalapeños and the beans were the best I've ever had. If you live in the Aiea, Pearl city area, this place is a must. In fact go now!!!

Heard about this place but never got to go when they were in Kapolei. Made it a point to get me some bbq. What an Amazing place. The owner was very personable and had a good sense of humor. For sure I will be giving this business more of my money. Give this place a try. I'll give a money back guarantee. Let's support this amazing place.

Decided to try out a food truck lot in Aiea on Kam Hwy across from Boston's Pizza. Of the trucks, I went with the mixed plat from Joe's. Service was quick and friendly. Im glad they took credit cards since I didn't have cash on hand. The cole slaw was different from the usual. A lot lighter than Im used to and a spicy after burn. I kinda like it. The beans were good; sweet with visible pieces of bacon. The chicken drumsticks were cooked thoroughly but not dried out. The ribs were smoky and the meat came off cleanly from the bone. Both yhe chicken and ribs had BBQ sauce that was sweet with a spicy kick. Very tasty. I got a new place for BBQ.

I no longer live in the area but I love the food here. The chicken is sooo good. My husband and I used to go there pretty often. I miss it so much! I wasn't a Yelper back then but I was trying to tell my friends there to go give it a try! Come to find out, they have! One day I'll come back to visit. Thought I stop by to show some love. I'll update with photos if I can find it.
