Scotty Phelps – General Manager/Owner

General Manager Scotty Phelps was born and raised in San Jose, California. At 15 years of age he got his first job at a steak house where he worked his way up from busboy to cook to manager over a period of 12 years. Scotty also did short stints with chain restaurants Denny’s Inc. and Old Houlihans. Scotty left the restaurant business in 1984 to pursue other careers, including UPS and 10 years working as a 911-operator/police dispatcher, all while maintaining his hobby of barbecuing & grilling. His dream though was always opening his own restaurant. To make sure he still loved working in restaurants, he went back to work for a BBQ joint where he was mentored by an old smoke BBQ competitor who taught Scotty more tricks of real BBQ. In February 2000, Scotty came to Kauai to share his BBQ smoked meats with the island. Most often you will find Scotty in the kitchen overseeing his excellent staff preparing succulent Ribs, mouth-watering Pork, Brisket and chicken for his customers. Don’t hesitate to poke your head inside and say Aloha. Scotty hopes to retire in about 15 years to travel the country and enter Competition BBQ contests.
