L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

Step into the island lifestyle at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in Boulder, CO, our fast casual restaurant that transports guests to Hawai'i with our traditional Hawaiian plate lunches. Open daily, we offer a unique dining experience with outdoor seating and a variety of vegetarian dishes. Our menu features the diverse flavors of the Islands, reflecting the Aloha Spirit in both our food and service. "Plate Lunch", often called “the state food of Hawaii,” dates back to the 19th-century when workers brought rice and other leftovers to work in compartmentalized tins, sharing meals that blended home recipes from Japan, China, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal and elsewhere. This rich culinary heritage is at the heart of our contemporary Hawaiian Barbecue plate lunch. Explore the ingredients on our interactive website and watch your appetite grow as you discover the delicious possibilities of our uniquely crafted dishes. For over 50 years, we’ve been serving up these flavors, starting from a small shop in Kalihi, HI, and expanding to 200 locations nationwide since 1952. Join us to savor the harmonious mix of traditional and contemporary Hawaiian cuisine and experience why our plate lunches are a beloved favorite. Indulge in the flavors and Aloha Spirit that have made us a staple for decades.
