    Delicious! New favorite spot. Can’t wait to try the Dole soft serve.

    It's really a nice place for a quick Hawaiian BBQ meal. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were well kept and the vibes were good! I ordered the Honolulu Chicken, and my wife ordered the Teriyaki Chicken. The macaroni salad and rice were really good, too! I will be back!

    Tybreona was so professional and kind! It was my first time visiting this place, and she was excellent in introducing me to the foods and options available here. Personally, I'd have liked more meat for the price I paid. And marinade was a bit too salty for my taste. But service was great. Thank you!

    They have Dole pineapple soft serve!!! Yummy!!! I had the Huli Huli chicken Mixed Plate with the luau pig. It came with a macaroni salad but I got double rice. The meat has rice underneath it so it was a little bit of a rice overload for my plate. I highly recommend getting a Mixed Plate so you can try multiple meets. The luau pig is my favorite. The pineapple barbecue sauce what's an excellent sauce for the luau pig.

    Neat atmosphere. Walk inside and order at one of the kiosks. Food came out very quickly. I ordered a half Molokai and Honolulu Chicken meal comes with rice and a cold noodle salad. The Molokai is very flavorful. I liked it more than the Honolulu but that one's not bad. The noodle salad is ok. I think I would like the meal more if it came with a vegetable like broccoli or maybe pineapple chunks which in my opinion would be a great addition.

    Absolutely amazing! The food is perfectly seasoned and the meat melts in your mouth tender. The dole soft serve is heaven in a cup! The portions are plentiful and can be customized. This is our new favorite place!

    Let me just say, after being stationed in Hawaii for 4.5 years and then coming to Texas… the only thing missing is the beach!!! Hawaiian Bros absolutely hits the spot for missing that signature island chicken, and the Mac salad is good too! I got a mix plate of Huli Huli and Honolulu. Don’t skip adding the pineapple skewer, the flavor and the freshness complement the chicken very well. Interior is clean and customer service is great, and I barely had time to sit down and think after getting my drink before the food came out. It’s a little slower today, so I’m sure service will be a little slower when they’re busy. The chicken comes on a bed of rice, so if you don’t want a lot of rice, sub the side scoop for something else. I wish it wasn’t so far from Killeen, I’d be back regularly. Don’t miss out!

    The first impression of the restaurant was clean and bright, especially during the night. One of the staff explained the menu and the food was good. You can substitute the sides with fruits and other options like freshly cut pineapple or macaroni salad, but there aren't many options. I did ask for macaroni salad with pineapple, but I didn't get the salad, just the main dish salad. We liked the proteins and liked the service. There is free parking and a big pro is it is one of the few opened past 9pm here that aren't fast food/greasy. I'd say for two people, close to $40, regardless of what you order, you will be served togo plates even if you dine in. I'd say that's a steep price even if it's a tourist town. We have a Hawaiian restaurant that is a dine in our suburb and you get a nice plate with silverware, more protein, with macaroni salad, rice, and lettuce salad less than $30 for two people.

    Chill casual spot for lunch. Place your order at the self serve kiosks. It hit the spot for our Hawaiian fare craving. The Molokai chicken had the right amount of sweet and spicy flavor. We enjoyed it better than L&L. Finished with the Dole soft serve, it was a nice treat for the warm day.

    If you are a Hawaiian Bro this spot is for you and probably very reminiscent of home. If you have ever been to Leanne Chin than you have already experienced this cuisine. The meat basically taste like the bourbon chicken there. The cold macaroni salad was interesting but nothing very stellar about the food. Just not enough flavor for me personally bland and boring. Price was reasonable for a family if 7. We were able to get 3 combo meals and fees everyone. The staff however was very nice and offered my kids free samples of the dole whip which was simply amazing. So if anything get the ice cream.

    Employees are helpful and courteous. All of the food is delicious and the meat is so tender. 😋I love the type of plates the food is packaged in because it’s durable.I got a free sample of the ice cream that is dairy and gluten free. Kinda reminds me of sorbet. Drinks are ok and nothing different than any other drink I’ve had before.

    I absolutely loved it. One of my favorite features of this place is that, drinks are free with food. I love lemonade and their lemonade was just perfect for me. I loved the food and the environment. The cost is super affordable. I will surely come back again.

    I hate leaving bad reviews, but nothing about this food gave me Hawaiian flare or flavor. I ate a few bites and could push through for more. I didn't taste any grill or smoke, and my food was extremely bland. The mac salad was watery. Even the sauce lacked flavor. I'm not sure how the 4.9 review rating has been achieved. Very disappointing!

    Drive-thru experience was awesome! Food was hot and made to the order. The plate I order was the Honolulu chicken plate was so delicious so tasty also added a side of fresh pineapples.

    My second review of this place in a month- because it’s that good! The staff here are really friendly, the food is great, and you can alter it to the food needs and size you want! Miranda was super helpful today and gave her recommendations! Oh, and don’t skimp on the dole whip- it’s amazing.

  • 5/5 Mady 2 years ago on Google
    This place was SO AMAZING!! It was my first time checking it out, and I had a wonderful experience. The food was good, the pineapple dole whip was good, and the service was great! Kiki took our order, and she was so patient and kind with me! She helped us with understanding the menu! This is my new fav food spot for sure!

    Can not recommend this place enough, oh my gosh the food was absolutely delicious! Definitely will be making our way back when we come to town!

  • 5/5 The Nevill S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service! Good food and clean location! We felt like valued customers as we entered the building. Ordered the Large Plate, subbed veggies, added pineapple. Also ordered side of rice, served warm, side of macaroni salad (cold dish), and the spam mushubi, also served warm. Would eat here again & can’t wait to try the Dole Desserts! (As a mama with a baby, there was no changing table in the bathroom. That’s the only thing I would add to this location)

    Really not a bad place if you're looking for food QUICK. The double drive thru also helped promote the fast mentality. The food had a lot of sauce to it which made it extra salty. Also the Mac salad had a lot of Mayo. Too much Mayo. I also expected the macaroni salad to be somewhat sweet but sadly it wasn't. This place has potential but has areas to improve. I will go back but more out of quick convenience rather than a night out. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were really great and helpful which saved this review from getting 3 stars.

    The food was delicious!! The host, Jameson (spelling may be different), was AMAZING!!! He helped us order from the kiosk and was very welcoming and hospitable! We will definitely recommend this place to others.

    First time here and let me tell you not only is the food fanfreakingtastic, but the service is top notch. Owen the service staff was amazing and friendly, he definitely made us feel welcome and enhanced our first experience with the food. My recommendation are the Luau pig and musubi, so freaking good!

  • 5/5 Alice S. 5 months ago on Google
    Best guest experience. Was a little concerned when I saw the kiosk ordering platform, but the staff was there and walked me through everything. Explained the food options and provided an excellent recommendation for a first time diner. Amazing food!!! Will be back for sure :)
