Before the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots kick off what is expected to be an exciting Super Bowl today, make plans to enjoy the game and ono food and beverage options at one of Big City Diner’s six convenient locations.

The Miller Lite Party for the “Super Big Game” will feature a Las Vegas trip giveaway presented by Vacations Hawaii at each location (enter at any Big City Diner, must be 21 years and older to win). A Miller Lite Grill ($300 value) will be awarded to a lucky patron at all six locations as well. Additionally, two $200 Oahu Party Bus gift certificates will be given away at each restaurant. The party starts at 1 p.m. and Miller Lite on draft will be specially priced at just $4, and special pupu platters will be available — make reservations now as this popular event will sell out.

Steak & Rib Combo ($26.99)

Big City Diner’s Famous Guava BBQ Baby Back Ribs ($25.99 “Big Slab,” $20.99 “Not So Big” Slab) is a super meal to bite into during the game. President and owner Lane Muraoka also suggests that diners order the luscious ribs for their parties and other special events as a Full Rack, which is priced at $84.99. The full rack equates to four “Big Slab” orders and provides extraordinary savings and value (a discount of nearly $20). Customers are encouraged to visit bigcitydinerhawaii.com or call the catering department at 487-8588 for details and to place an order.

When it comes to cooking, it’s all about the sauce. To help kick up one’s home cooking and backyard barbecue experience, take home some of Big City Diner’s Famous Guava BBQ Sauce, available at all restaurant locations. Individual bottles are sold for $7 apiece, while buying in bulk ($12 for two or $20 for four) pays off.
