We were in the area this afternoon so we decided to check Sunset Texas Barbeque out. I've always seen it on Yelp but the hours are kind of short so we always miss going to it. Today we were right down the road from it since we went to the Discover Museum. Sunset Texas Barbeque is across the street from where they had the old Fisher Hawaii. There is some metered parking on the side fronting their shop. When we drove by there weren't any spots, but if you drive further down, there's a lot more metered spots and it's only a short walk there. The place has a nice clean feel. They have five items on their list for plates. The choices are ribs, brisket, pulled pork, pork belly, and sausage. Each plate lunch comes with two scoops of rice or two slices of bread and two sides. The side selections they offer are creamed corn, baked beans, Cole slaw, potato salad, and pickled daikon. We got three plates, the ribs, brisket, and sausage. My husband got the brisket and he gave me a little sample. It was very good and not dry at all. I got the sausages. It's two sausages cut up into slices. It was a lot of sausages and I couldn't eat up the whole thing for lunch. The sausages had a nice smoky taste to it. I really liked it. My daughter got the ribs. She said it was a little hard but she ate it, so I guess the taste was still good. For the sides for mine, I got the creamed corn and the baked beans. I really liked the creamed corn. I don't think I've even had anything like that. Kind of taste like the base for corn chowder. The baked beans were a little spicy for me but my husband liked it. My daughter got the potato salad because they said that the beans were spicy. I didn't care for that much, it had too much mustard and I don't like mustard. Overall we are so glad that we got to try Subset Texas Barbeque. Next time we will definitely try the pork belly and pulled pork. Those must be the popular ones because they were sold out when we got there. read more

Great small family owned business making awesome Texas style BBQ. One of my co-workers is from Texas so he knows his BBQ and when he eats here, he says it takes him back to when he lived in Texas. The food is awesome, consistent taste no matter when you come. I think I've visited at least 3 times and haven't been disappointed. The last time I visited I ordered the brisket, Cole slaw and potato salad with rice. The potato salad has a slight tangy taste which makes it pleasantly unusual. That tang isn't something that is what you normally eat in Hawaii but I think that's a good thing. The brisket is nice, tender and full of flavor. Not over powering smoke flavor and the smoke ring is beautiful with a good bark too. read more

Sunset Texas Barbecue - Brisket plate. - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Although pricey we can all admit that this is the best smoked BBQ on our island. The ribs are my guilty pleasure. So imagine how disappointed I was when, this Saturday my rib order was dry, chewy, and less than warm. Not sure why this visit was so different than the others. Maybe next time? read more

Food was ono. The sides were super good brisket point was delicious, flat kind of dry. BBQ sauce was good, the lighter one spicier. Note the photo says text, NO CALL BRAH read more

Sunset Texas Barbecue - No call. Text they said. - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Real Texas BBQ from a pit master who is actually from Texas. Brisket (fat end always requested) - Spank it and it undulates. Pull a slice and it stretches like an accordion, perfect. Beautiful deeply bronzed, nearly black salt and pepper bark, deep smoke ring, perfectly rendered fat. Clean smoky flavor with no acrid finish. Very juicy. Beef ribs (AKA Dino ribs) - Again, beautiful dark bark, deep smoke ring. Beautiful sweet beefy flavor of short rib with just the right amount of smoke. Tender is an understatement. Bite in and it flows with juices. 1.5lbs each with a giant slab of beef atop each 7" rib. Friday and Saturday only. Be in line before they open to snag one. Guts - Now homemade! Chunky, beefy, juicy, with just the right amount of smoke. Well seasoned with a decent spice heat. The casing unfortunately doesn't snap (perhaps got too cool before eating) and was chewy. Still, plenty tasty. Sauce? Why? They got it but who uses it? Solid beans. Solid coleslaw. Just wish they'd throw in a handful of Wonder bread to mop up all the meaty juices. Available as plates (two sides and one meat plus RICE? Must be a Hawaii thing), or by the pound. Hospitable. On a recent visit, grabbed a fatty brisket plate and was immediately offered some prized burnt ends as a bonus. Plates near $20. Brisket $35/lb. Dino ribs $38/lb. Guts $6/link. Forget all the other "posers" claiming to offer authentic TX Q. Sunset TX BBQ is as close to the greats of Austin and Lockhart as they come. read more

If y'all ever in the kakaako area and craving texas style bbq look no further.... although I have not been to Texas to try Texas bbq if it taste as good as this I can't wait to make my way to Texas the brisket is soft n juicy the ladies behind the counter was very helpful and kind thank you for the awesome customer service read more

Sunset Smokehouse Texas BBQ located on Cooke Street, downtown. Meats Brisket tender and tasty. Pork ribs a bit dry but tasty meat peels off the bone. If you are a white bone eater, some are soft enough. Pulled pork has a slight smokey flavor. Beef ribs were deliciously fall off the bone tender! Sausage links were tasty like polish dogs, crunchy skin. Sides Coleslaw tasty white cabbage, red cabbage, carrots and kale in its sauce. Potato salad had good texture. On the tangy side, yet the tang makes one salivatate and still go back for more. Voodoo pickles look like a mix of onions and daikon. Crunchy, refreshing. Pinto beans were cooked well with a definite kick to it. Cream corn sweet and creamy. On the sweet side yet it tastes so good. Onion slices plentiful and crunchy, dill pickles crunchy and refreshing and a whole loaf of fluffy white bread that tasted sweet. These are included when ordering meats by the pound only. Not available for plate orders. Sauces Generous amounts of bbq sauce and tangy bbq sauce. I liked the latter as it had more taste and heightened my taste buds. Meats are hearty. Everything was delicious but the star is the fall off the bones beef ribs! The bone itself was huge! Beef so tender, cooked perfectly! Sides were tasty as well. Potato salad and pinto beans were hearty. Everything had its own explosion of flavors. I am seriously blown away with their sides. They were beyond my expectation in flavor. These cooks are spot on in all dishes! Prices are a bit high but when reflecting back on their food, they are worth it! Order ahead so no waiting in a long line. Metered parking on streets can be hard to find. For pick up orders, drive into alley shared with Tesla. About midway, on the left, there is a closed door with a written cardboard sign of their name. Park, go in, pickup from counter! read more

We tried the brisket plate which was amazing. The brisket was very tender and the bbq sauce was just right. Pork belly was also very tender. The sides were okay. The cornbread is more like a bread pudding, not the usual cornbread most of us are used to. Service was great! Nice ambience. I'd say the brisket plate is the best deal there. It's pretty pricey if you buy by the pound and sides ala cart. read more

Never been to Texas but do certainly love a yummy Q! I've always wished for a place that just does some barbecue meats and I was super excited to have that right here in Kaka'ako. With countless signs on their front door it looks like they're still in their soft opening stage and are figuring out their system which I instantly realize as soon as I walked it. Filled with Texas decor you're greeting by lovely lady assuring me to ask her for any questions though it's obvious you either want meat by the pound or a plate lunch. Asked if I put in my order with her she says no I can make your side items which I do see there the cole slaw, potato salad and other items but I wasn't interested in that and kindly just approached the counter that's in the center of the shop. Not really wanting to experiment just decided on some brisket (yum!) and they had a couple of slabs on the board from a previous customer and asked about the smaller chuck of what the weight was, just over a pound cool I'll take it then looked at the other slab...a bit thicker and was told it was the fattier cut...oooooo! drool...sigh...kept the leaner cut. They do cut it for you which was perfect even cuts nothing I could've done and I guess it comes with two kinds of barbecue sauces one was more vinegary and the other has a slight kick to it. It certainly wasn't close to being enough but was a nice touch to have, it also comes with a couple slices of white bread and pickles....hmmm is thing standard in Texas? Nice to have something like this here and it all was very well made and delicious, gonna have to go back and try their other menu items and sides, check out their Instagram @sunsettxbbq Thank you! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while now and decided that Saturday was going to be the day. I showed up early (about 10:45) in anticipation of a line. I was the second person in line. I chatted up the guy in the front, this wasnt his first rodeo. He told to get the brisket. He made a bold statement that this place had the best brisket west of Texas. They were well organized. The first station was for sides, the next station was for the meats and then pay and pick up. I wanted to try a variety of both meats and sides. I decided to get the pork rib plate so i could get some sides and rice. I also got 1/2 lb of brisket and one link of sausage. They were having some computer issues with they cash register but that wasnt going to stop me. Good thing I brought cash. I was in and out of there in 10 min. The food was amazing. The brisket was flavorful and juicy. The pork ribs were tender and easily came off the bone. The sausage reminded me or portugese sausage. I loved it all. It also came with two dipping sauces - one tangy and the other sweet. I like the sweet sauce better. They also gave two pieces of bread to mop up all the sauce and juices. BBQ is expensive and I probably wouldnt come here every week, but I will definitely come here to satisfy my bbq craving every so often. read more

First visit and it won't be the last. Sunset Texas Barbecue is located on Cooke St. where the old Everything Bagel (not quite sure of the previous establishment's name) shop was situated. There is a table outside and several tables for dine-in along the left-side corridor of the eatery. Prices are a bit high but then so are beef prices and BBQ is labor intensive. The Brisket Plate is $20.50. I chose baked beans and slaw for my two sides. They were out of rice - luckily- and replaced that with two slices of white bread. Sides (included in the plate) were excellent as was the brisket. Baked beans had a hickory smoked bacon flavor...to savor. Cole slaw was not too runny or sweet. I don't know how authentic the brisket is but you don't need a plastic knife. They offer two types of BBQ sauce: original ( my choice ) and spicy. Lots of metered street parking...just no CC option. read more

Another Saturday, another great meal at Sunset Texas Barbeque. This time I dined in which was cool because didn't rush home to eat. I went with the brisket again because why not. All I can say is, the brisket is so tender, you don't even need to own any teeth to eat it. Amazing. read more

Great service. Answered my questions patiently and gave us the extra brisket ends for free since there was only a little left. Meat was tender and flavorful. The plate came with onions and pickle and two types of bbq sauce - not that it needed any but it was still yummy. Didn't care for the beans personally. Never knew I was a fan of creamed corn. There was a restroom to wash your hands but no soap however they did provide hand sanitizer. One plate will definitely fill you up. I'll be back to try more! read more

Sunset Texas Barbecue - Brisket, shredded pork, beans, creamed corn - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was so excited when I found out that Sunset Texas Barbecue was coming to Honolulu!!! I marked my calendar for September 1, 2021 (Grand Opening) and invited my friend to join me. I told her that this new location on Cooke Street would be better than driving out to Wahiawa and that I would be able to find free parking in Kaka'ako (on Keawe Street). Because I picked her up in the Kahala area, we got to the former location of This Is It Bakery a little after the 11am opening time. There was a long line (maybe about 10 people), but the line moved quickly! The service is efficient and friendly! Each person at their station knew their job. First station: pick your sides. They're each $5. From coleslaw to Banana Pudding dessert or spicy beans, everything is packed to go. Next station: what kind of sauce do you want? Original or spicy? And would you like some pickles and onions with your order? How about some slices of white bread? It seemed strange, but that's how brisket was served to me in Houston... With the sliced bread! Last station: select your meats. There were no "plates" to choose from, so, I just got a half a pound of brisket. It was tender, tasty, smokey, juicy, and luscious!!! Yummy!!! I think the owner was the one who was slicing the meats. I saw that he gave me a little more than half a pound and he tossed in a bonus couple of chunks of fatty ends! Thanks!!! He (the owner) even chatted with customers when the line died down. He wanted to make sure we all were enjoying our meals! That's so kind of him! I overheard him telling the other table that he's from Austin, Texas! So... Yes... There is a dining in option! Just sign the clip board (at the entrance) with your name, address, and phone number for contact tracing. It was cool to look in at the smoker (in the back) through the glass window! I liked the decor a lot! There even was a convenient washroom next to the photo opp area in the front! My friend and I really had a great foodie adventure at Sunset Texas Barbecue in Kaka'ako! I'm looking forward to returning soon! Notes: my friend had a pound of pork ribs. They were individually sliced and ready to eat/take home! Both of our meals included spoons, napkins, and forks, but no knives! read more

Tastes like home! All of the meats have the delicious smoked flavor that Texas Barbecue is known for. Will definitely be back!

Holy moly This place is good. Come get fabulous bbq which is on par with Franklin's in Austin Texas, minus the three hour wait in line. Come here, laugh to yourself that you don't need to stand in line, get all the meats, enjoy yourself. We ordered brisket, ribs, pork belly, Cole slaw. Brisket was delicious and super decadent. Pork belly, terrific, ribs n the burnt ends. Wow. So good. Definitely get the Cole slaw to cleanse your palate. Save all the leftovers for lunch the next day, stick it into a sandwich or boil up a congee. read more

Brisket brisket brisket! Sausage and pulled pork is good too. Cole slaw is good because it's not too sweet. Creamed corn is too sweet for me but it's my husbands fave read more

Tried 1 piece of the flat and point. $17+. Flat was a little dry. Brisket was a little better but not impressive. Meat seemed a bit old because had a little bit of iridescent rainbow sheen on it. Had lots of brisket much better. Not sure what the buzz is about. Did I come on a bad day? Maybe the meat was a few days old due to slow business because the place was pretty empty. I would have expected the brisket to have been smoked the day of or day before. read more

After trying and missing this location easily 4 times, we finally made it to the much-anticipated Sunset Texas BBQ!! FOOD - 5 stars! I mean, the meat was FALLING OFF OF THE BONES! My husband was concerned about not having a knife and not being able to cut his brisket but that stuff was like BUTTER. The bbq sauce was delicious too. I wasn't a fan of the potato salad or the corn but we came here for the meat and that was fantastic. LOCATION: 5 stars! The restaurant is bigger than I thought it was. I never came in when it was a bagel place so I was shocked to see how much seating there was towards the back, I just wish there was outside seating. The seats towards the back are seated next to large glass windows where you can see the massive smokers, it was like being in Willy Wonka's factory haha SERVICE: 5 stars! It's like southern hospitality meets aloha vibes. Super friendly, kind, and courteous. Will we return? Heck yeah! We'll see you guys soon. Hopefully you guys can introduce some Shiner Bock :P read more

Sunset Texas serves top end barbecue that you need to try when in Oahu! My fault for coming here one hour before closing but I was still able to snag some brisket and sausage. The brisket was juicy and tender enough to cut through with your fork. Sausage had a great flavor and snap. Plus the sides of coleslaw and potato salad were nice, creamy, and packed with a nice contrasting tart flavor against the heavier meat flavors. I really really liked the darker bbq sauce as well. I forget if that was the regular or spicy version but that sauce+meats makes each bite extraordinary. Having got the lunch plate, it comes with a little under half a pound of meat which is a perfect portion size for 1 person, but I did add the sausage on the side. read more

What a hole-in-the-wall gem this is. This is Texas worthy barbecue in Hawaii! The street parking is limited along with the seating, but well worth it. I ordered a Pulled Pork Plate, Brisket Plate and some Pork Ribs. Everything was on point and delicious.The service is a station-to-station ordering line that moves quick. The staff are very friend and efficient. The decor is remnant of a Texas Barbecue Chop Shop. read more

One star - this place can't figure out how to keep their meet from falling off the bones!!! I kid, I kid. This is a craft experience for meat lovers. The love for BBQ is really evident in everything from how you are greeted to the sides, to the glistening, steaming cuts of freshly smoked brisket, ribs and sausage. Again, I am not kidding about the meat falling of the bone. My husband usually chides me for leaving iddy-biddy shreds of meat on the ribs, but not here. Everything is so tender! My husband even ate a chunk of the bone itself, but he's crazy like that. I also got the fatty brisket (if you're lucky, you have a choice of fatty or lean). The sides are tasty - cream corn is sweet, and the beans and Cole slaw are a good complement to the meatiness of the mains. But it's really all about the meat, let's be honest. You can park in the back and go through a small door next to the garage. You can walk past the smokers where the magic happens. Limited hours, so plan carefully. It's pricy, but this is a craft product, so worth every penny. read more

We were invited to a friend's house and they did take out and take out and take out...pork ribs, beef ribs, beef brisket cole slaw and all the fixings...I was really impressed with how tasty and tender everything was! Pricey but worth it!...Would I go there my self? You betcha! read more

Still in soft opening and line was at least 45 minutes long at 12:30. But the lady behind me said they sold out at 2 pm a few days earlier. Everything is approximately $32-34 a pound. You get free pickles and onions (as it should be). Considering there is no other bbq place that comes close to Texas, it was pretty good and worth the price! Staff are awesome but I subtracted a star for the hours. read more

The hiking buddies and I was planning to do an afternoon. Before we head to the hike, we to wanted to stop here for lunch. The hours are usually limited so we are lucky we got to make it. Limited and tight parking next to the restaurant. Non-peak hours you can find street parking. During Covid we couldn't dine in so we did take out and went to a beach for a picnic. My boyfriend and I ordered: Half pound brisket- the meat was very tender but also very salty. I had a hard time finishing it. half pound pork ribs - This was more on the savory side with a bit of sweet taste to it. The meat was so tender that it comes off of the bone very easy. 1 sausage link - Sausage was salty. It was cooked well. Not a fan of sausage but my bf liked it. Sides with the order: Onions, pickles, hawaiian bread, and sides of pinto beans and cole slaw - Coleslaw was more on the watery side. I didn't like it too much. The pinto beans was a little bit sweet. I thought it was OK. I like that they gave us a lot of pickles and onions. Wish we could've gotten more bread with it. Not bad for a smokehouse place. Too bad it's such a far drive for me. I would come back for the ribs! read more

Sunset Texas Barbeque is one of the true gem bbq spots in Honolulu, Hawaii. You can smell the smoke and the umami in the air as soon as you walk in. The shop only opens from wednesday to saturday. The beef rib is only available on saturday available for first come and first serve bases. The owner is very well knowledgeable when it comes to the essence of the bbq and you can taste and feel the layers of bbq ness or bbq zone in each bite. My favorite was the moist brisket and it was perfect balance of fat to bbq protein ratio. If you crave a great bbq in the Island, this is the place to satisfy your bbq cravings. read more

Sunset Texas Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was my husband's 'want to eat' places for Father's Day, so seeing that they weren't open on Sunday, made the trip to pick up some bbq on a Saturday. The restaurant has some seating but it's definitely more like a take out place. Easy ordering- if you're getting plate, you choose two sides. Beans, creamed corn, cole slaw, potato salad, and comes with two scoops rice. Your plate moves on and they load you up with the meat. I oredered the brisket, pulled pork and pork belly. They give you a pretty nice portion of meat! Comes with sauce (hot or mild) and pickles. Let me tell you, I'm not much of a bbq kind of girl, but this was so tasty! I don't like fatty meats but the pork belly was amazingly tender and not as oily as one might think! It was our favorite. Love the texture of the brisket! The pulled pork was a bit salty for my liking, but none the less amazing. And the homemade bbq sauce!!!! I could drink it. Sides were vinegar-y and paired perfectly with the meat. We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm originally from Texas so y'all know I have been dying for some real texas bbq. We heard the owner is from Texas so we knew we were in for a treat. I wanted that smoked for hours, pull of the bone, fatty goodness. And lemme tell you, they did not disappoint. In the background, you can hear some country music blaring. Made me wish I was in town for the Rodeo. We tried the beef brisket, pork ribs, and house made sausages. Unfortunately, they ran out of beef ribs so I guess I gotta come back for that. My favorite was the sausages because of the way it was seasoned. Like I mentioned before, the pork meat fell off the rib so easily. Beef brisket is moist, fatty, and was pretty standard for a good texas bbq place. As for sides, we had the potato salad, and beans. I Appreciated that the potato salad was not too soggy. I also liked how the beans were spiced. The only thing I wished I did differently was had some good ol' sweet tea in a mason jar to wash it all down. Was this the best texas bbq I've ever had? Probably not, but hey, it definitely satisfied my craving and I will be coming back for sure. I would say this is an authentic Texas BBQ place and the taste is spot on. read more

The food is not short of excellent. Succulent tender pieces of BEEF! brisket fatty brisket and the ribs all so good. Ribs about as good as mine (so yeah they good) The sausages a bit dry but still had the flavor! 4 slices each 4 ribs 1 sausage, small bbq beans (spicy!) and Cole slaw (2 each) about $90. Ambiance is what you expect from a Texas BBQ place. I like it but for me personally a bit pricey for cooked meat. Still I would recommend if you want some good cooked BEEF! Expect $20 and up for beef plate, $19 for sausage plate. Parking on the street expect to pay $1.50 with the meter. read more

Ambiance was evocative of Texas with assorted memorabilia. Spare ribs w re flavorful but slightly dried in some pieces; likewise with the brisket, though some of the point were fairy moist. Pork belly was good though the skin was slightly chewy and clingy to the teeth. Cornbread was sweet but a tad mushier than desired. read more

I can't believe I didn't write a review yet for this place... maybe because I didn't want to share this place with the rest of the world! This is my favorite BBQ place in Hawaii! We have tried Tex808 and Dickey's, both were not even close to this place! We may not have a lot of BBQ restaurants to chose from but this place is delicious! I used to walk here on Fridays from downtown for a little treat for myself (an expensive little treat at that). I like the brisket and sausages here (that's my favorite). I did not try the ribs but that's never been my thing nor my son/husband's thing either. My old coworker loves their beef ribs... but they're only available on Saturdays. If I come on Saturday (I wish they would also open on Sunday), my family usually orders a bunch of brisket and sausages along with medium/large sides of coleslaw (so good and crunchy), potato salad (my husband likes it because it's more mustard-y than mayonnaise-y), and baked beans (a little bit of a kick because of the burnt ends). I know we usually order enough for 2 meals, but it's easily $120. It all adds up! Yes, the people are nice but man, when you're paying $120 for two meals for take out, it does hurt a little paying that. I knocked off a star because it's $$$ but also because I tried to order their turkey for Thanksgiving. I thought it was confirmed and then they tell me it wasn't and they only have it by the pound and it can't be preordered. That was upsetting and I had to change my Thanksgiving plans for turkey. It said to text and they took forever to confirm and then later they tell me it's sold out. Not cool guys. So yeah, order there but DO NOT ORDER THANKSGIVING meals there (they might not even have it). read more

Only got take out but this time I did remember a picture. I had the pork belly...the flavor was excellent and the char on the meat was perfect. The salad was good it had some mustard added to it and I only mention it cause I don't particularly like mustard. The baked beans were also pretty food. I heard the brisket is even better bust based on the taste of the pork belly it's something I am looking forward to trying. Oh...this place does get busy and I think sometimes they sell out...with that in mind get there early! read more

Sunset Texas Barbecue - Pork Belly plate....yummy - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very over priced. Two ribs for 22 dollars. Mediocre beans and slaw. Even the sauce was too sweet. Not a great place for BBQ.

Best brisket in Hawaii! Super friendly staff. Really cool to see all the smokers in the back room through the window.

Oh...my...god! Finally! I found something similar to what I'm used to in Texas! It's not exact but it's pretty close! I've been trying to come here since moving from Katy but they're always closed! Today was the day! Left the office for lunch before they opened and arrived to a line. Ordered lunch for my coworkers which consisted of brisket and pulled pork then asked if they had beef ribs! They did! Ordered two of those as well! Food arrived after a sample of a burnt end that was amazing and my hopes were high! The beef ribs were fantastic! Fall off the bone and crazy tender! A close second to my favorite place Brett's BBQ in Katy. But since I'm 3000 miles away this is my new fav! If you're a bbq fan and looking for pretty damn authentic Texas bbq and in my opinion the best bbq in Hawaii (I've tried almost all the places) this is your place! Fantastic! read more

Texas BBQ? I'm there! It just took me awhile to make the journey to Wahiawa. A couple months ago, I was planning to try hit up their lunch truck when they came into town but COVID-19 happened and my plan was shot. Luckily I had a bunch of client meetings in West Oahu on a Friday, and decided to hit up Wahiawa to finally give them a try. Their restaurant is really easy to find as it's right next to Jack in the Box. Unfortunately the parking there is tight and the drive way is narrow. Drive carefully! I messaged on IG the night before to make sure nothing would sell out by the time I would arrive (around 1pm-130pm). They said I should be ok so I went. When I arrived, there were 2-3 parties ahead of me then I ordered. Don't worry, we all practiced social distancing. I knew my order so I ordered 1 lb of fatty Brisket, 1/2 lb Pork Ribs, 1/2 lb of Pulled Pork and 1 Sausage Link. Since I was there, I also ordered 1 lb of fatty Brisket and 1 lb of Pork Ribs for my friend. Fatty Brisket for us Fatty guys ;) When I was waiting for my order, another 4-5 parties came in. This place is busy! They labeled the bags so I knew which order was which. The orders came with rolls, pickles, onions and BBQ sauce. It looked like TX BBQ so I was excited. I'm a Cowboys fan and always look forward to TX BBQ when I'm there. The Brisket was my favorite followed by the Pork Ribs, Pulled Pork then the Sausage Link. Meats were moist and flavorful which everyone said it was. I tried some of the BBQ sauce and it wasn't bad. Didn't use much of it though. This place is the closest to TX BBQ that we're going to get here in HI so let's enjoy it. Overall 3.5 stars but one of the best BBQ joints in Oahu. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time now. They are always selling out fast so knew when it was open we had to try. The place is super clean and simple, it seems the removed tables doe COVID protocols so it's take out only . I had the brisket, it was delicious , melt in your mouth tender and moist. The pickles were also great. I had a side of the tangy slaw also very good. Only reason i did not give them a 5 is because they lacked in typical BBQ sides . For sure will be back to try the pulled pork. Staff very friendly and nice. read more
