    Delicious and nicely presented Hawaiian BBQ. I had Ginger Beef and my husband had Kalua Pig. I liked that you could get a small or a bigger portion, and we enjoyed every bite. Tender meats, and the macaroni salad - how do they make it so good? I don't know but I hope we pass through again sometime. An unexpected gem in The Dalles.

    It is my second time that I visited LILO’s the best plates are the bbq sandwiches and Cesar salad the food is made with charcoal and it has a very good flavor. The restroom is very clean and the restaurant looks clean too. The service is very good and the person very friendly.
