    Hummus Republic is a bit of a mixed experience. **The…read morepositive -- hummus is above average and tastes freshly made; roast eggplant is good; spice/flavor is decent. **Negative -- minimal meat; only a tiny piece of eggplant (despite an upcharge); lemon chicken was cold and not very tasy. My order was UberEats. So, I cannot comment on the restaurant experience or ambiance. But, as far as food goes, I put this in the average category. If you happen to be near there and want this style of food (and nothing better is around), it's passable. But, it doesn't reach the great category and it is not as good as CAVA (which seems very similar). Overall: Worth a try. But, don't rush out to it. I recommend they improve the quality of the meats and have better portions if someone orders the roast eggplant.

    Food was fresh and of good quality…read more Restaurant was clean and updated. Manager (MAYBE a franchisee?) was absolutely wonderful to deal with. Easy to find and easy to find parking. Store was clean and modern. Portions were HUGE!!! The only thing I didn't like was not being able to see my food under all the sauce. This is not their fault, I had no clue this was how they did their entrees or I would have asked for it on the side. Also not their fault I've got food sensory issues. Next time I'll simply ask for sauce on the side so I can see my food more distinctly when I'm eating it. It was a very good experience Looking forward to returning.

    We went through the drive thru to take home and try:…read moreHonolulu Chicken: savory bold flavor that pairs perfectly with the white rice. It also came with the infamous Hawaiian Mac salad, but it was salty to me. Keeping it in the container with the warm food didn't do it any favors. Is Hawaiian Mac salad typically warm? If so, not a fan. Molokai Chicken: chicken was tender, again a deep flavor but the spice it promised was not present - same sides as the other dish. Definitely tasty, we would go back to try other dishes and choose two rice or try the veggies. Plenty of parking if you want to dine in. 3 1/2 stars but rounding up instead of down.

    The Hixson location leans heavily into a "fast-casual plus" aesthetic. It is bright, clean, and…read moreunmistakably tropical without feeling kitschy. The interior features bold teals and warm wood accents, creating an energetic, efficient environment. While it's designed for high-volume throughput, the open layout and upbeat island soundtrack make it a pleasant spot for a quick sit-down meal. It avoids the cluttered feel of many local diners, opting instead for a streamlined, digital-forward atmosphere that prioritizes speed and cleanliness. Service at the Hixson branch is notably consistent. The staff manages the "island pace" well--meaning they are friendly and welcoming--while maintaining the rapid-fire efficiency required for a busy lunch rush. Orders are typically ready within minutes of being placed, either via the kiosks or the front counter. Our order was out in less than 6 minutes after it was placed. The menu is a masterclass in "doing a few things perfectly." The core of the menu is the plate lunch: two scoops of white rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and a protein. Huli Huli Chicken is the signature dish. The chicken is grilled over an open flame and glazed with a sweet, savory teriyaki-style sauce. The Hixson location hits the mark on the char--providing those slightly caramelized edges that balance the sweetness of the pineapple-infused glaze. For those who prefer a bit of heat, my wife chose the Molokai Chicken. It uses the same tender thigh meat as the Huli Huli but introduces a spicy pepper profile. It's a "creeping" heat--not overwhelming at first, but it builds beautifully against the neutral backdrop of the white rice. In Hawaii, the "mac salad" can make or break a plate lunch. Hawaiian Bros serves a version that is creamy, heavy on the mayo, and purposefully soft. It is the essential cooling element that gives the Molokai chicken its spice. No visit to the Hixson location is complete without the Dole Soft Serve. It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and incredibly refreshing. The pineapple flavor is iconic, but if you want to level up, ask for a "twist" (if available) or simply enjoy the bright, acidic finish to a savory, protein-heavy meal. Our Final Verdict Hawaiian Bros Hixson brings a much-needed variety to the local food scene. It doesn't pretend to be fine dining; instead, it excels at serving high-quality, consistently comforting food with a tropical flair. It's an ideal spot for a reliable, flavorful lunch that feels slightly more "adventurous" than your standard burger or taco run. I recommended that you order the Large Molokai Chicken plate with an extra side of Mac Salad and a small Dole Soft Serve.

    I've never had CAVA before until this place opened here, and I wish this was here earlier. Where…read morehas this been all my life? I always opt to make my own bowl. I switch between different proteins because there's so many different options. I've picked the Harissa Chicken, Grilled Chicken, and Falafel. I like doing the half and half and each of those proteins were delicious. They were juicy and not dry. The veggies tasted fresh, the sauces and proteins were flavorful and so tasty. Also I love how we can choose up to three different dips. I pretty much go for most of the toppings except avocado. And also the dressings!! I mix it up every time and the combinations have worked pretty well together, in harmony with everything in my bowl. It's hard to pick a favorite veggie for me because each one is so good, but I'll always get the pickled onions and fire roasted corn. For me, I have no complaints whatsoever. I always describe this place as a Chipotle but Mediterranean. I always get takeout so I can't comment on the ambiance inside. But ordering online is fairly simple and straight forward. This is one of my favorite places in the area to go and get food. Oh and also the juices are great too. I always get the Cucumber Mint Lime because it hits every single time, but I'd like to try their other juices too. I can't wait until the next time I come back here. Love you CAVA!
