  BURGERS AND BARBECUE

O'ahu is home to dozens of food establishments that specialize in doing one thing very, very well. Here's a sampling of restaurants that know burgers and barbecue.




Deb's Ribs

Debra Hopkins' down-home comfort food causes enough of a fuss that diners make the drive to Kailua from all over the island for a taste of her wet, slow-cooked-then-grilled baby back pork ribs. Coated with a sweet, tangy sauce that's got a mild, peppery kick, the meat has a bit of lacquer-like caramelizing on the outside that makes it hard to stop at a single order. This modest eatery also serves up a satisfying sweet-potato pie, if you can manage to save room for dessert.

130 Kailua Road, Kailua. 262-3327. Lunch: 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday-Friday. Dinner: 4:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday-Monday. Closed Tuesday. No reservations. VS, MC, AX, DC, DS, JCB. No checks. $.
