Roseville is home to a variety of delicious restaurants, each bringing to the table their own culture and cuisine. 

Hawaiian BBQ is a genre of food loved by many in the area. Until recently, there were only a measly 2 restaurants located in Roseville to represent the tasty culture, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue and I Fish Poke & Hawaiian BBQ. 

Just recently, on July 8, 2025, Sam’L BBQ, a small family owned restaurant, had its grand opening. This restaurant offers a variety of foods that each hold a vibrant combination of flavors, all of which stem from a mixture of Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese, and Chinese influences to create an unforgettable Hawaiian dining experience. 

Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted with a menu full of appetizing options. Sam’L Hawaiian BBQ, as the name infers, specializes in their BBQ meats, most notably their BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, and short ribs.

However, it cannot be ignored that they are also excellent in serving other foods, prime examples being their mouthwatering chicken katsu, kalua pork, island burgers, fish and shrimp, and even ice cream. Not to mention, these delectable plates are accompanied by a side of white rice, cabbage and vegetables, and their outstanding macaroni salad. 

In addition to the tempting food, the restaurant’s interior is inviting, with walls showered in lively colors and filled with designs and artwork depicting the restaurant’s cultural background. 

With the incredible food and a clean, vibrant atmosphere, Sam’L Hawaiian BBQ serves its justice in providing a wonderful and filling dining experience. For those craving Hawaiian BBQ, Sam’L Hawaiian BBQ is a wonderful choice to have on your radar and give it a try, as it’s sure to satiate your desires.
