I was in town for the night and searched for bbq and this place came up. When I drove up the line was out the door. I wasn't surprised that is was Hawaiian bbq not Texas but I was very happy how great it was . I had the bbq beef and chicken and both were wonderful read more

One of the best places in Lubbock hands down!! They're usually busy but SO worth the wait! Absolutely love their Katsu chicken, bbq plates, and stir fried noodles. Very reasonably priced and huge portions. One of our favorites for delicious comfort food!!! read more

First time coming here, based on other reviews called my order in. about 30 min later arrived and still waited a good 15 min, I feel like they waited for me to get there to make the manapua pork buns they were fresh and delicious! The fried rice with barbecue chicken was great, and the Kalua pork was amazing the flavors were so good and not overwhelming just right! Plan on calling ahead 30 min to an hour before scheduled meal time definitely worth the wait! read more

Good amount of food for a small amount of dough. The grilled BBQ chicken is so yummy! And if you like macaroni salad uou will love theirs. Give it a try. read more

Slow service but it's worth the wait. If you can't wait, just call ahead. The food is some of the best in Lubbock. Definitely a gem, HUGE portions for a very reasonable price. read more

Place is small, took near an hour to get our food. Customer service is horrible, unfriendly, and unhelpful. The food is what makes me give them two stars. The food was good. However the horrible customer service was horrible and Didnt feel welcomed. It makes you not want to a business like that. read more

This place has authentic Hawaiian Food like "Lunch Plates" in Hawaii reminds me of Jermains Shrimp Truck in North Shore, Oahu - this food is really good - worth the wait read more

Food is soo good with huge portions, just always busy and can't ever get through when calling in an order, but still worth the wait!

Small hole in the wall shop. I like the bbq beef plate. Service is okay. I'd definitely call ahead. Great for takeout.

When I heard Lubbock had a Hawaiian BBQ restaurant, I was skeptical lol. But I gave it a shot... and I am so glad I did! Aloha BBQ is now one of my top favorite places to eat I'm lubbock. I feel the prices are good, the food has been on point every time I have ate there (I eat there pretty often now lol) and they give you a very good amount of food! If you like Hawaiian BBQ, if just want to try something new, check this place out! read more

Aloha BBQ - Chicken fried rice from Aloha BBQ, they hook it up! (: - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Great food but terrible phone etiquette. Not friendly at all over the phone they just hang up lol

Good place to eat with lots of food cld eat off one plate 3or4times!! Have eaten there several times I've enjoyed it and so do my friends read more

Outside of going to HI for this amazing food, Aloha really does it right. Very generous portions and very welcoming staff. It's small so don't go during rush hour and expect to eat in, although to-go's are just fine with me. We've eaten every dish and it's all legitimate Hawaiian food cooked right here in the panhandle. LOVE IT. read more

They WILL be grouchy. Just laugh it off and eat the food! It WILL be amazing you WILL love it. Cheapest yummiest food in town! Always call ahead and give them a little more time than you normally would for a call in, they tend to be insanely busy. Give them some grace-they make amazing food and work their butts off! read more

Not impressed at all..... this was my first time going, the staff was not helpful with the ordering, the menus were hard to distinguish what they were and I was completely lead onto the wrong dish. I wanted the chicken friend rice everyone posts pictures of, instead I got mac and cheese, rice and large pieces of BBQ with lots of fat on it.... I had high hopes and was so excited to go! The only thing I liked was the egg rolls! Probably will not be returning. read more

Good food great prices and huge portions. I had the bbq beef and Spam Musubi both were good and enormous. Lady behind the counter is kinda grumpy though. read more

Just picked it up for the second time, and I have to say this little dive is one of the best hidden secrets in Lubbock Texas. I've enjoyed the chicken fried rice, egg rolls, and the pork stir fry noodles and it's all superb and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Aloha BBQ! read more

I stumbled on this place expecting a quick and easy takeout that did the job for dinner but not a lot else. It is even located in a strip mall, cementing my early impression of what I was going to get.Instead, I found a hole in the wall with amazing food. They even had some real Hawaiian Staples I did not expect to see off the west coast and the islands. Besides just delicious food, the prices are very reasonable and the portions are gigantic. Don't miss this place! read more

We always enjoyed eating at Aloha BBQ, until about three months ago when I was in line waiting to pickup my order when I saw two very large cockroaches crawling across the floor. These things were at least 2" long, and not like anything I've every seen in west Texas. The lady behind the counter saw them, did a double take, and then just went on about her business like it was no big deal. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Amazing portions and excellent food. Would recommend calling ahead of time! The line was going toward the door which lets you know that the food is amazing! You can smell the bbq from the second you step out of your car. Highly recommend read more

Aloha BBQ - Beef fried rice - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Unclean and rude staff person in the front. It was pretty disgusting. The portions are pretty large, but were not tasty.

Visited this place on a Saturday night to get take out and had to wait awhile because it was super crowded. But it was worth it because my husband really liked his food. Personally, I don't care for this kind of barbecue, it's similar to teriyaki, a sauce that I don't care for. But to each his own, I guess. read more

Pork fried rice and chicken fried rice were outstanding! They had great portions at a great price! Highly Recommend!

A "To Go" hidden gem in south Lubbock. Food is phenomenal and the portions are extremely generous. The only thing holding this place back is the service is consistently terrible. read more

They have great food. The macaroni salad is awesome. Not the friendliest staff tho :/

Doesn't deserve the 4 stars in my opinion. The restaurant is dirty, service is bad and the wait is way too long. There's only 3 tables inside so I had to wait for my food outside and take it Togo but still took about 20 minutes. The food itself wasn't bad... but wasn't great either. I had the fried rice with BBQ chicken. It was super salty and nothing very special about it. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to eat in Lubbock. Yes the wait is long after you order, however this is one minor setback into what is an outstanding meal. I highly recommend the katsu chicken! read more

First of all, The food is THE BEST. But the customer service is terrible and the waits are so long. I have called ahead, waited an hour to go pick up and when I got there they hadn't started it. Most times, they don't answer the phone. Honestly if they had better customer service and ordering systems they would be the best! I still go because the food is that good. ‍ read more

Little divey. Food is delicious, and huge portions. Will be back for more soon. Sometimes wait is long, but you can call order in.

One of my favorite little random places in Lubbock!! Super friendly family owned place with a unique flavor!! Everything I've tried is delicious and huge portions for cheap. Try the manapua, it's very different and yummy! They would make a killing by campus, it's a shame more people don't know about this place! read more

It is impossible to ignore the amazing McDonald's color scheme the interior of Aloha BBQ has, its bright yellow walls lined with large framed pictures of hula dancers. So sexy. The space is quite cramped though, and tables are very close together. Perhaps you should get your food to go if you have a large party with you. Or maybe you do want to be that close to complete strangers, just like I do. Portions are large and flavorful, served in styrofoam to-go boxes or disposable soup containers for easy takeaway. The spam musubi is a popular item, which is a block of spam atop steamed rice with a bit teriyaki sauce wrapped together in a nori cast. I'm not too fond of the rice here, which is why I only rated Aloha four stars. Some Asian restaurants serve jasmine rice and some serve unscented--both are fine. But here, the rice implies something unclean to me...it is unscented with a familiarly dirty, oily kind of flavor that makes me feel kind of sick. Maybe it's something linked to a painful, buried childhood memory of mine and is only relevant to me, but I thought it was worth mentioning. The bathroom is not amazingly clean either, which usually says something about the kitchen. All of that aside, this is a pretty unique eatery, especially for Lubbock! Worth a try for sure. It seems authentic to me, but I don't know, I'm not Hawaiian. Maybe you're asking the wrong person. What restaurant am I reviewing again? Hope this helped you. Love, Daisy read more

At the beginning of this year I would have given this place a 5/5. I had started eating here since my freshman year and this place was the bomb. The owner was awesome and very friendly, he got to know me and our group of friends and would even look out for us to make sure we weren't getting in trouble. The quality of food was never a let down and the food portions were gigantic. Unfortunately around June he told us that he was selling the place to some buyers to move back to Cali. At first I was open to the idea, we were told they would keep everything the same. The food tastes have gone down in quality a little bit but the portions were still big. After a couple months I noticed that the wait time on food kept getting longer and longer. What usually took 10 minutes before now took 25 then 30 minutes, the bathrooms were unkept with no paper towels or hand soap, and the tables were grimy. The lady that usually runs the cash register now is pretty rude and just had a bad attitude in general. They even lied to us saying they were cousins of the old owners which I knew wasn't true. Overall this was a 5/5 before but now it has gone downhill after months with the new owners. read more

Food isn't as good as it used to be since the change of ownership. The portions are still huge but you can definitely taste the difference! The wait is way longer too!! Not sure how the prior owners were able to get the food out so quickly (15 mins max) with only 1-2 people cooking. Waiting here now for my to-go order that I put in 45 minutes ago...food still isnt ready and there's 4 people cooking??!! They seriously need to call the prior owners for some tips! Would come back but not when I'm needing quick take out. read more

My favorite is the BBQ beef. And the owner is so nice. My only wish is that they had a bigger storefront and dining area so I could bring tons of friends with me. read more

This is a good place to eat but I wouldn't recommend going after 5 on a weekend night. The customer service was poor and my date and I waited over an hour for our food. Food was not worth an hour wait. read more

Love this place. Lots of delicious food for a great price. My husband likes the beef fried rice, and I think I've enjoyed just about everything I've ordered (BBQ combo plate, Asian noodles, fried shrimp, fish katsu, etc). It's nice to be able to get a taste of Hawaii while in Lubbock. They can be slow for take out orders, but that's the only negative. read more

Very good quick service meal! I love the macaroni! And the way the bbq is cooked...my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I love this place the food is always so good and the portions are so Amazing for the price

This place great. It's kind of a dive. It's not somewhere you'd go without seeing the reviews, but it's tasty and you get a lot of food for the price. The only downfall is how far out it is, but I like it enough to come back again. And sometimes ambience isn't what you're after, since well, we're in Lubbock, I'll take tasty tasty food over ambience and boring, tasteless food any day! read more

This place is busy for good reason. Fantastic food. Huge portions (very shareable). Great prices. Go here!
