Red Barn - Waimea

Always a happy experience here. Any grilled cheese is a good choice. The tomato soup on the side is a must!!!

The food is amazing and the price point is fantastic. However, since we have some family members with lots of food allergy issues (gluten free, dairy free), they were able to find the right thing for all of us. That was truly an incredible, thoughtful feat and we will absolutely be back next time we are in Hawaii. Service was great and they set great expectations since there were a lot of people ahead of us. Also the farmers market ambience was very relaxed and enjoyable.

Made a detour heading to Kona and stopped at the Waimea Farmers Market. Lots of choices, but ended up sharing a couple dishes from the trucks. Found Red Barn and had a hard time deciding between the Frenchman and the Beast Nachos. Since we were sharing, we went with the Nachos. They did not disappoint. Chips (purple sweet potato) were loaded with kalua pig, melted cheese-which I am pretty sure they melted on the griddle, then scooped and placed on the cheese, sour cream, avo and tomato. It was a lot of food for $15. Chips stayed crunchy from the first bite to the last. Can't wait to try a special grilled cheese next time I am in Waimea.

This truck seriously has me second guessing my life's decisions! 1. SELL all belongings 2. MOVE to the big island 3. FIND this truck wherever it may be 4. EAT more grilled cheese sandwiches! The Purple Pig was a delight! The subtle sweetness of the Taro bread belies its whimsical color. Its buttery toastiness adds just a touch of crunch to the Palau pork and Gruyère which absolutely melt in your mouth. The lemonade is lightly sweetened and mighty refreshing. The staff were gracious and oh, so beautiful! I can't wait to return.

Good lawd! I was sad and happy all at once eating The Purple Pig. Happy I was eating such a delicious and creative sandwich. Sad that I had to share it with my wife. And sad when I took my last bite because it was all gone. The Purple Taro bread was fun, creative and delicious. The Kalua pig was tender, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this food truck!
