My friend and fellow foodie joined me for another run through Wild Pineapple Grill. Note that the full Hawaiian Grill is currently only available on Thursdays and Fridays - they have deli-type sandwiches the rest of the week. Since this was a Thursday, we took advantage and both ordered their Hawaiian pulled pork sandwiches along with a can of Hawaiian Sun "Pass-O-Guava Nectar," one of four flavors on hand. Wild Pineapple has exactly one wooden picnic table sitting a few feet from the small "coffee stand" building they inhabit, and we were in luck: it was unoccupied. So we enjoyed some pretty darn tasty BBQ sandwiches. At $6 its a good buy and it hit the spot. The bread was soft, but held together just fine. The meat was tender and the sauce was nice and tangy. This was also my first time drinking Hawaiian Sun, a blend of juices from concentrate plus cane sugar (rather than corn syrup). On a previous Thursday/Friday visit I had a poke bowl, which really hit the spot. Ill be back.

Awesome lunch deal. I thought nothing of this place until I finally gave in to friends requests and went there, and was very happy with the food. The plates with BBQ pork, rice, and macaroni salad are BOMB. The food tastes well smoked/cooked, quality, and homemade. If you can down the whole plate you will definitely be full. Highly recommended -- if you try it once, youll be hooked. They serve this only a limited number of days and hours, which is the only downside, hence 4 stars.

While we will go there on any weekday, my answer for Friday lunch is always poke from Wild Pineapple! Brown rice, extra sauce, and some heat always brightens my day. Whenever someone asks for a local favorite - this is where I start my list. Pulled pork is amazing and had them cook up a large amount for a dance we had for our daughters FFA program. Simply great food. Thank you!

Wonderful authentic Hawaiian Kailua pork, with rice and macaroni salad. You will think you have been transported to Hawaii! Much better than the big name "hawaiian" restaurant in Salem. This tastes like the real deal at a terrific price. Thursday and Friday only.

Excellent food, ordered yakisoba noodles for my wife once and with her being a vegetarian had them not include the teriyaki chicken, and lo and behold they charged me less for it. This was not expected but definitely appreciated. Thank guys!

Great bento! Drive through is quick and easy, food is delicious. Several picnic tables makes this a great place to stop in and grab a quick, yummy bite.

Its not the most authentic Hawaiian food, it taste more like regular BBQ nothing special. Price is kind of HIGH.
