L&L Hawaiian Barbecue — Restaurant in Vacaville

It’s been a while since I have been to L&L Hawaiian BBQ because there are other places in town that have better service. They never have great service here, no bad service, just take your order and call your number when it’s done. They have a fairly big menu and each L&L that I have been to offers extras that are not traditional Hawaiian dishes such as Chinese and/or Filipino dishes. They also offer catering packs for your parties. The food here is generally good. My go to is the BBQ Mix Plate ($16.25 as of 8/22/2025): Hawaiian BBQ Beef, Chicken, Short Ribs, Mac Salad, 2 scoops of Rice which is a good amount of food, so most people will have some leftovers. Their flavor of their meat was not as flavorful this visit as I have had in the past (not sure if it is just this one instance) and the overall portion does seem slightly less than I remember.

I would describe this place as a semi-Hawaiian Fast Food Restaurant. Expect no frills and no thrills here, just a good heaping of food for the price. They are a solid 3.5/5...

Beware. This l&l's food is good, but the service this year is terrible. The bad service will get you eventually. My wife called our order in an hour in advance. I went inside to pick it up, I paid, and 30 minutes later I begin seeing others who walked in before me get their food. I called in way before any of us walked in, so how can this be? 1 of 2 things hapened. They gave our food to somebody else or forgot to push our order through. Mistakes happen, but they didn't even prioritize our order considering their mistake and they queued us to back of the line. That was my final straw. I wasn't waiting another 30 mins. I walked out and charged back the purchase. Just so you know, this wasn't our first bad experience. It's just the one that pushed me over the edge. Eat at your...

This was my first time visiting L&L and I would say it was ok, but not great. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Beef and my girlfriend ordered the chicken fried rice. The beef had decent flavor, but it was so fatty and full of gristle that a bunch of it wasn't even edible. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be, but I've been to other Hawaiian BBQ places that had fairly lean beef. The fried rice was good, but also really greasy. I get it...it's fried so it's bound to be a bit greasy, but this was much more so than expected. The place was pretty clean and the service was fine. Overall, I believe it's the only Hawaiian place in Vacaville so it'll do in a pinch, but my opinion is there are definitely better...
