    Short ribs
    Sarah R.

    Bbq Short ribs absolutely delicious. Don't sleep on this place, it's not fancy but the food is amazing. Get extra Aloha Sauce!!! Also the BBQ mix plate is amazing!! Huge portions!

    Beef Fried Rice

    The food was good, but rice was a little dry. One order is enough for 2-3 people. The egg rolls are delish.

    BBQ Mixed Plate
    Harry N.

    This is a Hawaiian-style BBQ and the food is pretty good. I really enjoyed the Mixed Plate more than the Chicken & Noodles, probably cos it was served with steamed rice. Their noodles tend to get "gummy" when sitting in the sauce and then under the (immense!!) weight of all that chicken! Yes! They give you an insane portion of meats in each order! The wait is long and they hardly take phone orders due to very short staffing. Drop by, place your order and then run errands for 45 mins - 1 hour and your food will be ready by then! I had errands to run so I gave them a 5-star, if not it would have been quite frustrating.

    Beef with noodles

    So I waver on this one. The place is VERY small and kind of sketchy. Plan for to go. The service was not very helpful and the food took forever. Yet .. the food. It was really good. There was plenty. It was an excellent price. I had the Hawaiian chicken with macaroni salad and rice. The mini was more then I could eat. The flavors were so good. My son had the noodles with beef. It was a huge plate, and the beef was marinated, thin sliced.

    Man...Wow...Geez...Mercy... Certainly a little unsuspecting place...Counter service...small dining room...all in a strip mall next to a church for one-stop shopping. Order from pictures...not much detail on what things are...go ahead, take the leap. Then the order came up. WOW... Enough food in one box for an army. Enough in the other to serve a small country. And man-oh-man, it was GOOD. This is the level of final meal stuff. You NEED to eat here...even if you were to only travel to Lubbock for a meal. Go. You won't regret it.

    Shrimp Plate!

    I'm excited to eat the food! I love Hawaiian food! They gave me extra sauce. Will come back!

    Beef fried rice

    Prices have gone up like everywhere else but the portions are still very generous. Food is hot and made fresh to order. Does take a little while but that's the price you pay for being fresh. So glad ya'll are back open.

    Food is great! I just came from here, me and a couple of friends decided to eat lunch here and we was very satisfied. The venue Is very small and there is about 2-3 tables to sit at. It gets crowded pretty fast. I ordered the mix plate! It was delicious. I really loved the bbq beef. The chicken was a bit chewy to me but I still liked it. The macaroni salad was good, I just prefer my macaroni salad cold.

    This is the view at closing time while waiting for our food.

    Are they opened or not ? I'm pregnant and have been craving since last week.

    This place has been closed now for at least 7 months. No clue what's going on. Plus they raised their prices by $3 to $4 dollars when they were open.

    I've seen cars at their establishment. Are they open or not, because no one picks up the phone?

    They're open 🎉 Call repeatedly and have your order ready!

    Why is aloha bbq closed?? It says open on the website but is not open? What is going on?

    We've been calling too! The voicemail said that they opened at 12, but no one is actually answering, so we don't really want to waste a trip across town for nothing. :(

    The brisket was incredible and had the best bark! We went on George Strait Saturday at lunchtime…read more The manager said she had been there 13 years along with another staffer, and neither had seen a line like we experienced on Saturday. The wait was a little crazy and the staff was clearly out of their element with the booming crowd, but at the end of the day, the food spoke for itself! I'm a 9th gen Texan and love my BBQ. This was the sh*t! It was some of the best brisket I've ever had, seriously. Now people will say, "what place has the best BBQ?" My immediate thought is "clearly they've never had BBQ! As there's literally no place on earth with the best BBQ." If you've eaten your fair share then you know that's a trick question. The better question is, "who has the best brisket, or ribs, or nanner puddin, or whatever." Some places are great and others suck, but no one is the best at all of it. They may be above average or even exceptional, but they will still be better at one meat than another. We had brisket, turkey, beef rib, pulled pork, mild sausage and jalepeno, along with some brisket deviled eggs. Dude! If it were Cajun food, you'd have to slap yo mama. Fortunately it's BBQ so we loosen our belt strap and when we can't eat another bite, we grab the biggest spoon we can find and eat some nanner puddin. It was solid. For sides we had potato salad, cole slaw, mac n cheese and collard greens. Personally, my favorite was the mac n cheese as it was creamy and tasted great, but my friends from Oregon were in TX for the first time and while she had never had collard greens, she couldn't get enough of them and literally went back for thirds. As mentioned, our friends were in from Oregon and had never been to TX not ever had TX BBQ. Shack you did us proud!

    Plenty of parking. ADA parking available…read more Great for groups. Ok for kids The menu has something for everyone. I ordered the beef ribs with sides and my wife ordered the brisket sandwich. The flavor of the meat was great. Sides were ok. Friendly staff. Nice bar. Definitely a place to try.

The menu was very easy to read, and provided enough variety in order to find exactly what you were looking for without needing to compromise on your appetite. The waitress was very friendly and provided her opinion on local favorites without demeaning other options, always a deal breaker for me when places do that, so she gets special love for her taking care of us that night. Once our meals arrived, it was time to dig in. The food was hot, prepared exactly as expected, and in typical Texas fashion there was more than we could expect to eat in a single sitting. At Chopped and Sliced BBQ, you will never leave hungry. Honorable mention to the fried Okra. I became the star of the night as almost everyone at the table couldn't get enough of it. Also, not sure if it was a regular or one-off, but the night we were dining in there was a man playing traditional Americana folk songs on guitar just inside by the entrance. He provided a nice relaxing atmosphere for the night without being too out or overbearing for my ears. I found myself tipping him on more than one occasion for his contributions to the evening.

Thank you Rudy's for being in Lubbock!!!

    Ordered 2 baked potatoes and honestly I was not that impressed. The potatoes were semi-soft and…read moreparts tasted kind of raw. Please pass on this following information to management and cooking staff; I do believe it is important, especially in this economy. Buyers want to get their moneys worth and I feel this is a ripoff. I get really agitated when an establishment sells a loaded baked potato and all they do to the potato itself is slice it down the middle and load the toppings on top of it. It ruins the process of eating the potato in a simple enjoyable fashion as a knife is actually needed to carve out bite size pieces of potato. An unfortunate result of this method is butter etc seeps out of the potato and into your general eating space. I got this order to go and had to mop my kitchen floor from the mess it created before I could actually eat it. Messy BBQ may be niche yall are trying to pitch but I do not think it is cute. The potato was semi hard and quite bland. After around 5-8 bites all I was left with was half of a plain unflavored potato I suggest cooking staff and management ensure their potatoes are properly cooked to the point that the potato feels like a ripe avocado . Kitchen staff should gently yet firmly push down the properly cooked potato to change the texture and create a reservoir to properly hold the toppings. Food gets zero stars, as I mentioned. I will give 2 stars because order was ready fast and the employee expediting to go orders was really nice. A theme of many of my reviews is "do it right or don't do it all". It is my opinion Rudy's should not sell baked potatoes until they overhaul their process.
