Uncle D's started off as a food truck at the Kaua'i Community College Farmer's Market, but recently added this brick and mortar location in Harbor Mall. The food truck is good, but--and I don't know if it's because I'm biased towards brick and mortar--this restaurant is great!
On the day I tried it, I just happened to wear a white linen shirt and dared to eat. I had the sliced brisket sandwich. I normally don't like my bread toasted, but it goes well with the sliced brisket and perfect amount of barbecue sauce--my white shirt was spared! This is also the most tender brisket I've ever had, beating out the legendary brisket at the now-defunct Sweet Home Waimanalo in Puhi. I opted for the spicy barbecue sauce, but it didn't have as much heat as I expected (mild and medium are the other options). They have a good selection of sides (coleslaw, macaroni salad, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans. I chose the coleslaw and macaroni salad (yum, chopped onions!) My friend ordered the macaroni and cheese boat with sliced brisket, and it's quite a generous serving of everything.
The owner is a hardcore Frisbee golf player, and they sell gear in the restaurant, adding a pretty cool kitschy feel without overdoing it. Call before coming to see what the menu is, as it changes daily.
