“Generous portions and tasty food. The family wanted cheeseburgers and I wanted Hawaiian cuisine. L&L has something for everyone. While L & L isn’t fine dining by any measure, the food is delicious. Had a fish and barbecue plate. It was accompanied by macaroni salad and white rice.“
Our Story
In 1976, Eddie Flores, Jr. bought L&L Drive-Inn at 1711 Liliha St., Oahu, Hawaii for his mother, Margaret Flores. He kept the name L&L, even while there was no relation to the current business, and remodeled the building as a small walk-up restaurant for his mother to operate. Johnson Kam joined Margaret as a partner. In 1977, Margaret sold all her shares to Johnson.
After this single restaurant became a success, it expanded into multiple locations across the island, Eddie Flores returned as a partner with Kam and helped him with the franchising of L&L in Hawaii in 1988. By 1997, there were 30 locations throughout the state.
At L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, you will enjoy the diverse flavors of the Islands and the warmth of our service. Our specialty is a unique style of Hawaiian plate lunch, featuring two scoops of rice, a hemisphere of creamy macaroni salad, and a generous helping of an aloha-infused hot entrée.
