We were looking to order their catfish Friday special for $9.99 but they were out as it was close to closing time. We ordered BBQ instead. We dined inside of the restaurant. The staff was very friendly. We also met the owner of the restaurant who was welcoming.Our orders were served in under 10 minutes after we were seated. The rib sandwich was tender and tasty...okra was good too. The loaded baked potato was very filling. We plan on visiting again to try the catfish special.

At the recommendation of some co-workers, I grabbed dinner at Hard Eight while I was in town on…read morebusiness. The food was good, if not the greatest BBQ I've ever had, but the overall experience was much fun. The restaurant is in the form of a large barn with ample seating and a walk-through line where you can pick out your meat and then any sides and drinks you'd like. I enjoyed having the "conundrum" of trying to figure out which of the meats to try as they stare at you from the smoker, all saying, "Pick me!" My first visit to any BBQ place is nearly always to try the pulled pork, figuring that if they can't get that right, nothing else is likely all that good. That's not always true, but since pulled pork is one of my favorites, it's a good approach anyway. :) I took my platter laden with an abundant amount of pulled pork and then selected corn on the cob, cole slaw, a slice of custard pie, and a sweet tea. After paying, I made my way into the main dining area and selected a high-top wooden table along the wall that was, shall we say, very awkward to sit at based on how the stationary stool was positioned in conjunction with the table, so I moved to a nearby regular table that was just fine. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but based on the temperature that day, I chose to stay inside. Digging in, I found the pulled pork to be good, but it was a little dry and salty. The standard house BBQ sauce was good, though, and the corn on the cob was very nice. The cole slaw was about what you'd expect, and the custard pie was tasty, even if it wasn't the best I'd ever had. The sweet tea was excellent. What I probably loved most, though, was eating all this in that environment, with the Texas-American paraphernalia hanging on the walls and a radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s country music over the speakers--the years when I loved country the most. I wanted a BBQ experience as big as Texas while I was here, and I got that. For that reason, my visit to Hard Eight was a hit, and I will happily visit again on a future trip.

The sausage and turkey were my favorite! The brisket was really good but I'm not a fan of the crust taste on this particular brisket but the inside meat was great! We sampled a lot of sides and they were all fresh and tasty! We did get the pineapple coleslaw. It wasn't bad but it didn't have a flavor like I was thinking it would. It just was just a little flat. The staff was amazing and kept making sure we had what we needed. Great place to come for lunch or bring the family! There is also a nice bar to relax at!

I went with the Fried Fish and Teriyaki Chicken. The fish was crispy and the chicken was tender. Yum! Every plate lunch comes with cabbage, mac salad, and rice. Broke da mout! Huge bonus! They have a drive-thru. You don't even have to get out of the car to get a quality plate lunch. We will definitely be back. Mahalo nui loa!!

We tried to peak through the window and saw someone who was in no hurry to unlock the doors. 2-3 minutes later she unlocked the door and said I'm not quite ready but you can come on in. She walks away and we seat ourselves. The table is very sticky to the touch, so we moved to another table. All the tables were quite sticky. Between feeling like the place was unclean and the lack of hospitality shown to us, we left, and went somewhere else. Too bad! We will never go back, but the breakfast menu looked so great.
