Aloha Made BBQ — Restaurant in Alabama

Was driving through the area and was soooo lucky to see this spot on Yelp! My husband and I just moved to the South from Honolulu last year and we have been missing Hawaiian food like crazy. Look no further! Aloha Made BBQ is a family owned, Veteran owned and as legit as it gets! Niu and his wife Raquel are so nice, welcoming and full of the aloha spirit. Had to get the two meat plate with chicken and kalbi, 2 scoop rice, 1 scoop Mac salad. Also ordered the loco moco. Everything was delicious! The food is so ono.

Also maybe go a touch higher on the heat to achieve more of a sear. Fried rice and Mac salad were both solid, I wouldn’t change a thing. Overall very good. I prefer traditional southern BBQ over this but it’s nice to mix it up from...
