Big Kahunas BBQ | Our Story
Hawaiian BBQ with island roots
Big Kahuna's BBQ & Catering brings recipes rooted in the Aloha tradition from Maui to Portland — served with the kind of generosity that keeps people coming back.
Roots on Maui
Three families with deep roots on Maui built these recipes over generations — Hawaiian BBQ on its own terms, not the mainland's.
What's on the plate
Kalua pig, Huli Huli chicken, brisket, tri-tip, spare ribs, and smoked sausage — plus Hawaiian mac salad, island slaw, and four BBQ sauces.
Built for gatherings
From 10 guests to 1,000, we cater weddings, corporate events, office parties, and family celebrations across Portland and Vancouver, WA.
Gary's commitment to you
Gary Herrera's name is on every event — generous portions, food made fresh and never reheated, and a crew that treats your event like their own.
