Nice place to eat. Was my first time trying it. Excellent staff! The food was good. It was different for sure. Everything was kinda sweet but it is a Hawaiian restaurant after all.

The food was amazing. Everything was fresh and hot. Cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was very welcoming and everyone was beyond nice. We had the bbq taco appetizer, brisket burger, and steak kabob dinner. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!

Originally was looking for a BBQ joint. We decided to try it out anyway. great meal. Reasonable prices and if you are looking for Polynesian food this is a gem. The staff is very friendly too.

I had the Hawaiian Brisket Burger with crinkle cut fries and it was excellent. The pineapple was grilled and had excellent flavor. Burgers are cooked well done so if you prefer a different temperature you might need to ask. Staff was pleasant and progressional and the owner came out and asked about the meal and cut up for a bit. Will return as they earned my business.

Ordered the “porked up burrito” said to be a 12″ burrito……a man must have measured it! But in all fairness the thing was more than I could eat! Filled heavily with the most perfect pork I have eaten in a while. The salsa was excellent but I could have used more. My wife and I spent $66.00 with the tip but took a substantial amount of food home. Wasn’t impressed with the”Bahama Mama” so will probably just have a beer next time. And yes….there will definitely be a next time.

We ate at Paradise-Que and really enjoyed our meal. The burger and Loco Moco was great. They grind the brisket in house for their burgers. They also smoke their own meats. There were other items on the menu and we will be back for sure to try. Everyone there were friendly and knowledgeable. Go for the Hawaiian vibe in Eastern Tennessee (Powell). It’s a little escape with great food! 1336 E Emory Rd, Knoxville, TN 37938

I have ordered the Poke bowls on several occasions. I have chosen the “Make your Own” bowl. The ingredients are fresh and both times has been excellent. This is a locally owned place in Powell. If you haven’t given them a try, I strongly encourage you too.
