Boardriders

I am  confused! went to this place yesterday and was even thinking about using it for a work party , ordered food and it slow but I ordered a lot (pulled pork, birsket, ribs, scalloped potatoes, mac an cheese, had a vodka for $6 and Crema Pinot noir for 9$ (it had been opened for a while, more than a day or two,  and while hadnt turned yet was already tasting off) the food was ok and I would have been in better mood and might not be dissatisfied except for two things
1. bathrooms are very dirty, I mean still bits of used toilet paper on floor and the urinal water was brown ???
2. a older man in a party of 4 at the high top nearest to the bar kept saying Nigger over and over apropros of nothing in particular, not saying it to me, (Im not black or dark) and just having loud conversation but it was repeated at least 4 times with one sentence being clear "black comedians can get away with saying it"
the bartender and the others in the bar seemed not to notice.

all set to right a terrible review
but then saw a review from a few months ago where a group was scolded by the barmaid for saying nigger!!!

so when they try to do the right thing they get a bad review and when they dont do anything they get bad review ???

if the food was better, and if the bathroom was clean , maybe different
but I have  not been for years and now not planning on it fro a few more

Pulled pork, scalloped potatoes, baked beans, and BBQ sauce were all solid. Honest, fresh, and tasty.

Stand-out was the mango dessert. The chef came out to give me a choice of ice cream or whipped cream. I went with the whipped, and it was made to order. Wonderful!

Wasn't crazy about the quesadilla, but I haven't enjoyed any Mexican dish I've ordered at a restaurant in Hawaii.

Friendly, civilized service.

What's not to like!?!

Wife and I were craving BBQ and happened to be in Kailua.

Tried Boardriders.

I remember this place when it was Jaron's. That means I'm old.

Same setup as Jaron's. A bar that looks like an 80's porn set designed by Prince.

I'm sure many MCBH guys wind up AWOL here.

Unusually high chairs make me feel like I need a bib and strained peas.

Waitress was a bit distracted.

We ordered to Hog Island ribs which are served Memphis style.

I've never been to Graceland, but these ribs make me want to put on my Blue Suede Shoes!

They come sauceless, and you have the option to dip them in BBQ sauce served in ketchup ramekins.

Pretty dam good ribs! They are juicy and smokey made from some kinda smoker contraption outside the restaurant.

I ordered a Newcastle or three and wife ordered a cosmo-like drink. They served the beer in a different shaped glass every time. My German brewer brother in law would burst a blood vessel if he came here. He is strict about serving beer in the glass with it's label. It's a German thing.

Waitress?

As I am walking to the bathroom, she is on the phone having relationship drama.

Check please!
