Walked in just expecting another side of the road bbq place but immediately as I walked in the hospitality and service was outstanding, so kind and welcoming. I also love testing the side of Mac n cheese whenever I get a chance. I find most places are bland and unoriginal... But here? Blew me away. So creamy and so tasty! The garlic butter chicken wings?? PERFECT crispy outside dripping in sauce with a fresh hot middle. Sad I was only here for a layover. You'll live in my heart forever.

I visited this place. The service was great. I mean the manager couldn’t do so much but the food was not edible. I got brisket and that’s not what I got. That’s what I ordered but it’s not what I got. I got shredded beef not brisket. I have had brisket in Hawaii before that taste like Texas food, but it wasn’t from this place and the manager was super nice but all he could tell me was it’s a certain cut of the meat. The certain cut of the meat means I didn’t get brisket. I got a different cut of meat. Period now if you want real brisket, the place that I last ate was a winner. Sunset Texas barbecue was a real winner. That’s where I’ll be going back to and no, I don’t work there. I’m just speaking truth. They have real brisket. Melt in your mouth delicious succulent brisket but this place Texas 808 barbecue not it sorry just not it. It’s a misrepresentation of brisket but if you want real brisket, please check out Texas sunset barbecue because my husband and I ate there and it was delicious. I mean real cream, corn real brisket that melts in your mouth. You actually want to go back there I crave the brisket that they serve And that’s just me being real. Seriously, Texas 808. Y’all need to take a lesson from Sunset Texas barbecue because they know how to make brisket. You should take the 808 out of your name. Because it’s a disgrace to Hawaii. The bbq beans were really good though, I have to say that, seeing as that was the only thing I could eat besides the Hawaiian Sweet Roll on the plate. Sorry guys please just fix the brisket

I've come to this place a couple times and it's a hit or miss. Sometimes the meat is moist and tender. Other times it's dry and needs lots of sauce. Mac and cheese is also a big portion, but hardens quickly. I'd stick with the brisket sandwich.

Some of the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had! Great value. Large portions. Amazing friendly staff.

We always come in and get the texas burrito with Mac and cheese instead of rice and turkey wraps. Some of the best BBQ I've had!

Mediocre but edible. Except for the cole slaw. This place has the absolute worst cole slaw I've ever had anywhere in the United States. No seasoning or dressing. Just raw, dry shredded cabbage and carrots.

This place is amazing! Found this spot during our vacation and so thankful we did. We spent a week in Kauai then came to Oahu for a week. My taste buds were going through a withdraw from southern flavors. Found this place and they were instantly happy once we opened the door. The smells, the taste, the experience…..all of it is amazing! They treat you like home and make sure you are taken care of. Would come back!

This place had some great food. It was super expensive. We paid $60 for 2 people. No leftovers. Not even close to Texas bbq. There is a BBQ joint at the NEX. Outside vendors so you don't have to be military to eat there.

Reminds me of the South...
Especiallt when you're craving warm food thats good for the soul.
.
All their meats (brisket, turkey, pulled pork) are smoked to perfection. Their BBQ sauce pairs well with them all. Baked beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese - I recommend them all.
Everything was delicious and fresh.
Fairly priced and a quick turnaround time for your order.
.
Next time I'll try their iced tea, heard it's yummy!

A big let down!!! Ended up here because Dickey’s BBQ shut down here in Hawaii. I was so bummed. But I will not return to Tex 808 🙅🏽‍♀️. Staff was very friendly, food was blah.
