While I was gone to an event my husband ordered from this location. He loves his bbq and thought he would give them a try. The bbq was fine although the brisket was cold and server forgot to include the sauce that he requested for the ribs. They do have sides included, which were tasty especially the coleslaw. Staff were friendly. read more

Tucked away in the corner of this busy area we decided to have lunch here. We always went to other Dickeys in Florida and enjoyed the food and portions. A children's complete meal for $10.99 came with 1/4 of a sub bread. It was eaten in 2 bites?! And I'm a small eater. Suggest a 1/2 sub roll as it was placed on a large paper plate which made the sandwich look so small. Maybe a smaller plate? The full size brisket combo is overpriced at $18? The most disappointing part was their Coke dispenser. It featured all these wonderful flavors but majority was unavailable??? Why display it- opt for a soda fountain maybe? Establishment was empty at 11:45 lunch hour read more

My husband ordered dinner here and we were so disappointed! Ribs had no sauce! Like no sauce on it and none on the side plus slightly undercooked, Mac and cheese was the worst I've had. Their brisket was the only good thing! But they are pricey. read more

This is not the Dickey's I remember. I went to two locations in California years ago and enjoyed the food. But times have changed. The prices are higher, and the portions smaller. I'll start with the sides. I got delivery, which took a long time because of traffic, and I believe that affected the quality of the mashed potatoes. They were a gluey lump, but they still tasted okay. The green beans were bacon were terrible - the green beans were overcooked and the bacon was nearly non-existent. But someone dumped a ton of pepper on it, so for me, it was inedible. The baked beans were fine. It came with Texas toast but you get only half a slice these days. Now for the meat. The smoked ham was good but way too salty. One expects ham to be salty, but not this much. The rib was good. The sliced brisket was fine, although nearly to the point of getting dried out. I asked for original BBQ sauce and got nothing. I appreciated that the sauce was on the side but it only works if they actually pack the sauce. I also got a pulled pork sandwich. It was small and smashed down, and meh. They did have great 2-for-1 deals I took advantage of, so I saved a lot of money. But the quality just wasn't there. read more

This is one of my favorite bbq places to come to. The owner is super nice and the food is good. The green beans is my favorite side and I love their brisket and pulled pork. read more

Haven't come here in a long time but we always loved the brisket. Unfortunately my serving of brisket (which is $1.25 extra) was dry and needed sauce for flavor. I enjoyed the fried okra but the bbq beans that is supposed to have bacon in it had absolutely no bacon in it. The service was great though. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Brisket, fried okra, bbq beans - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

As a self proclaimed BBQ judge , I've eaten my way through smokehouses across the country, and Dickey's in Kapolei truly stands out. The brisket here is competition level perfection, clean smoke ring, and tender with just the right bite. Ribs are textbook, pulling cleanly from the bone without falling apart, and the pulled pork is moist with just the right mix of bark pieces. Even the sides are dialed in, especially the green beans and mac & cheese. And don't skip dessert, the owner recommended the pecan pie which is rich, nutty, and the perfect sweet finish to a BBQ feast. He was right!! Service is top-notch: the team is friendly, quick, and clearly proud of what they serve. The Kapolei location adds its own island warmth and aloha spirit, giving it a family vibe that sets it apart from other chain restaurants. Consistently excellent, great portions, and fair prices....this Dickey's proves that chain BBQ can deliver the real deal when done right. If you're in Kapolei and craving authentic Texas-style BBQ with a local touch, this is the place. read more

Decided to go here last weekend since they reopened for business but new owners... for the price of the food it isn't worth it. The sides were good but they didn't have the old sides that used to be on the board to order from before and the meat portion wise wasn't enough. They used to serve it on trays but now it's on a paper plate. The sweet tea tank wasn't filled either when me and my bf paid for the cups/meals we asked the owner if he's able to fill it up nicely and when we were done with our food it still wasn't filled up until later when we were gonna leave. And the sauce is in containers so you'd have to ask the employees for it rather than having sauces right in front of you to use on the table to dine in. Ya no thanks $55 down the drain read more

$20 for this?! Pictures on their menus are deceiving folks beware. And they forgot my bbq sauce. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I can always count on Dickey's for a delicious, filling meal that hits the spot every single time! Today I treated myself to the one-meat plate, and let me tell you... it did not disappoint. I went with double potato salad because it's truly that good and honestly one of my favorite sides ever. I topped it off with their sweet BBQ sauce (my go-to!) and that warm, perfectly soft corn muffin that just completes the whole meal. read more

Been living close by to this Dickey's for four years, I crave BBQ every once and a while so I keep giving this place a try only to be disappointed again and again. All their meat is always overcooked, dry, and flavorless. The portions are TINY for what you're paying. I shouldn't be hungry after a 3 meat combo deal... none of their sides are good PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

First time eating here. Customer service was good. But food was not good at all. I received all my food & the only thing that was hot were my fries but they were burnt. You could tell they were made in oil that needed to be changed. Meat was not even a little warm. Pork was dry & I had hair in my ribs. But Thankfully they gave a refund. read more

Ordered take out and it wasn't the best bbq I've had. The amount of meat we got was ridiculously small for the price. 1 star for the extra bbq sauce they gave on the side and the fried okra. Plenty of okra given and it was good. read more

Very tasty, clean and great food,friendly service. We miss brisket tacos. We'll see ya soon!!

Crap. Absolute junk place and overpriced trash. We were really craving bbq and decided to try this hell hole out and instantly regretted it. It's no Lucille's but they sure charge like they're selling Ruth's Chris level food. They don't. Man instant regret with this place. Ribs were dry and bland and tasted like old laundry. The brisket was also as dry as baby powder. Even the sides sucked! It was terrible. Like truly terrible. Haoles must love this crap since its bland af. Never again. Don't ever bother goin to any Dickeys, they serve food exactly like their name. What a waste of space this place is. read more

YES Dickey's is back and better than ever! The staff were friendly and food was Amazing! I ordered the half rack rib plate and the ribs were THICC and juicy. I couldn't decide which of the 8 bbq sauces to get so I bought extra for $0.50 each to try three of them (Original was my favorite). If dining in they have a nice open and clean dinning area. I saw online on sunday kids eat free with an adult plate so will be back then. So grateful to have an amazing Texas BBQ place on the west side again! read more

Originally from Texas so I'm picky on BBQ. Got the brisket and ribs. Both are amazing! Super tender and full of flavor. Had loaded potatoes also for the kids that do not eat meat. Bbq sauce was super good . I like that they have the drink machine with 100s of choices . Customer service was great. They had little strawberry ice cream cups for the kiddos for 85 cents so it's nice to see affordable treat for kids. On Sunday's they have kids eat free with adult entree so a great way to take everyone out ! The place was super clean also! Workers were very nice. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - 1 meat plate with chopped Brisket, Texas Toast, Loaded Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, and Mac & Cheese. - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Let me stop by saying that I take full responsibility for several of the things that could have been improved for this restaurant. I've been a fan of dickies was so excited when it first came to Hawaii. But then all of a sudden last year it disappeared. Three months later, it was back. But it had a new owner, everything was the same actually I give it a little more of an upgrade before we went in order. They were kind all the high school age students that were working there and controlling the place was the owner. They said that everything we asked for was not currently available. I really wanted to try their new smoked ham. I ended up with chicken and kielbasa sausage. We waited just about 10 minutes. They got our services together. I got to order two side dishes, so I chose the fully loaded Mac potatoes, and macaroni and cheese. My daughter had what they call the stack where you can choose what you want is over a plate of macaroni and cheese. She chose the chopped brisket. I have to tell you I was a little disappointed the last time I went in there it was a very first time with this owner. I placed an Internet order and I asked for their Texas toast, and I paid a separate charge for additional Texas toast. When I arrived my order was ready. I've learned over the years that mistakes get made so I took my order back to my car and started looking to make sure that everything I ordered was in the bag. It wasn't had a hard time with making sure that things are included. at that time there is no Texas toast instead I received a dinner roll and then for the extras that I paid almost 7 dollars for I caught a box of dinner rolls. I took it back into the store and asked them about my Texas toast. The girl was a little baffled at the counter and she went to get the owner who told me that they were out of Texas so they just switched me over to General, I said that was an acceptable. Wasn't sure how that was gonna play out this time gave them another chance I said before we came in 15 minutes before closing. So they lose one star just for that. We got our order and we didn't even check if we went straight home it was 9 o'clock at night. And we were tired. When we open our boxes, I think we're in a little bit of shock. I didn't get pictures of my daughters food, but I did get pictures of mine and I'll be happy to share them with you. I don't know how to explain it, but I felt like the portions were about half the size that we normally get especially for a $23, a double meat plate only had four pieces of sausage and five pieces of chicken that didn't equal up to a whole breast of chicken. My macaroni and cheese dish was only half filled and fully loaded mashed potatoes had little to flavor. My daughter ordered the mashed said that her order was really small as well. You would think that if the last people coming in to place an order, they want to get rid of the food that they had there. It would pack it up, but they didn't, three high school students were all that showed up so late. I would love to give them five stars at one point but I think they need to start reading the reviews and find out what they're doing wrong and miss managed orders orders that doubt me expectations orders that are cold and not hot... My rule is that I always give three chances for them to make changes number one was a failure. Number two was a semi failure because of the fact that we went in so late at night. Let's hope that visit number three has been working in Harmony like a well machine the food is warm and plentiful, and I'll be happy to spread the good news to all of my readers. read more

First of all, I am not a huge meat fan, so take my review with a grain of salt. I walked in for the sole purpose of getting a couple sides of fried okra cuz they're Taylor's fave and left with over $50 worth of food. I LOVE sides. Potatoes are my favorite food. I also love mac and cheese. I saw they had a veggie plate where you get 3 sides and texas toast so I knew that's what I wanted. I then went to their website and there was a coupon for signing up for the mailing list. Then when you make a rewards account you get a free sandwich! The coupon was for min $45 purchase so I got 5 veggie plates with an assortment of sides. Unfortunately they were out of Texas toast so I got rolls instead. They also forgot to put my fries in the bag but were very apologetic when I called and luckily I was still in the area so I could go back. Highlights were the mac n cheese (reminds me of a bagged one we had at Disney that was so processed but so good) and potato casserole (like mashed potatoes with bacon). Green beans quite peppery were ok. Fries ended up being a bit overcooked but I like the fresh cut texture. Beans had good flavor, mash also peppery but good. Everyone loved the fried okra. Can't wait to go back and try more items! The menu is very extensive and the rewards program is great! Plenty of parking right in front (cuz Kapolei dats why) read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Sides - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I wanted to try it out again since they reopened under a new owner I believe. I ordered the 3 piece plate with side bbq beans & mac n cheese. Brisket was overly salty. Smoked chicken was a couple slices of chicken breast & it was so dry. Ribs were tough. Mac n cheese was dry. Bbq beans tasted just like canned Bush's baked beans. The portions were definitely not worth the price! Definitely disappointed & won't be back again. read more

Returning customer after new owners. Always like supporting local. Brisket Sandwich good, but hot fries in a plastic bag isn't a good idea! With the steam, fries were soggy! Paper bags would work better to keep fries crispy. read more

Well the Sandwich was ok a little small amount of Brisket and Potato with bacon was ok the soda a big cup, I wanted a Steak, it's crossed off says SOLD OUT, you just open up new, just blocking it off the menu. If your a New BBQ in Hawaii, I would make a statement of my company, LOAD that Brisket like a Triple Burger to get people in the place and make it Memorable that you gotta come back for this Sandwich and add some BBQ sauce or offer. Goodluck in business and if you ever step up on loading your sandwich I would be back. I will stick with Mike's BBQ for now Windward side. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Brisket Sandwich, Potato with Bacon and Big cup drink. - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Really sad but was eager to come finding out Dickeys reopened in Kapolei, woohoooo. Made an online order 2 meat pick up plate with Mac and cheese & potato casserole with a side of barbecue beans and when I went inside I asked to order a small side of green beans (paid for in store). Went out to the car to check my items and went back in realized the green beans weren't there so I went back in to tell them, which they gave to me. When I went home (my fault for not checking) but I was also missing the barbecue beans. Stuff isn't cheap nowadays and it's disappointing to have missing items on orders you paid for, almost twice. It was $3, and I was kinda full so didn't wanna make the drive back for a small amount. read more

Great service food was amazing and Jimmy the owner was amazing love love . I highly recommend this place true southern hospitality. read more

Was told it reopened today under new staff, management, and owner/ceo. My coworker and I had a great experience today! Even got to meet the owner and talked story with him! Nice guy! Customer service - 5 of 5 It wasn't busy when we got there...staff was able to chat and check in with me and my coworker having a late lunch. Friendly crew and made us feel welcomed! Cost - 4 of 5 Like everything else in Hawai'i prices are not cheap but was told the prices are cheaper than what it officially was with the previous owner/management. Food - 5 of 5 My co-worker and I got the Texas Brisket Burger combo. Sandwich and sides were good. Sides were mac and cheese, mash potatoes, and green beans. The brisket burger chopped meat was good and tasty! Came with drink of choice with refills. Was told by the workers that the restaurant will be serving alcohol in near future. Location - 4.5 of 5 located next to Walmart kapolei, front side area by main entrance. Ample parking but looks like that area can get busy. It's right across Panda Express. If it gets busy park across at Walmart and walk it. Restaurant - 5 of 5 Clean, roomy with also an outside sitting area. Couple TVs indoors. Don't know if there were any outside in the patio area. I believe the restaurant maybe gearing up to televise sports. Didn't get to check out the bathrooms. With our dining experience it was nice! Signs and menu were big enough to see. read more

I ordered a crispy chicken plate. Description said it was a buttermilk battered chicken breast. Is the chicken breast in the room??? This is a chicken patty. Also said it came with Texas toast, but clearly gave me a Hawaiian roll. Highly disappointed. read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - Crispy chicken plate - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I heard this Dickeys was opening up under new management, so I was excited to try it again. But...I was very very disappointed. The sides look nothing like the photos and the meats were so so dry. I got brisket and pulled pork, the brisket wasn't cut well and it was dry like cardboard. The pulled pork had some pieces that were dark meat and those were sort of moist but the white bits were dry. Ordered the green beans with bacon, but there was no bacon to be seen. Also, the photos on the menu show flat green beans but these were round beans. There was no sauce. It tasted like the green beans from a can. The Mac and cheese in the photos on the menu look like the thick noodles with lots of creamy cheese but what we got was thin noodles and barely any cheese. Very bland. The coleslaw was good but again, it looked nothing like the photos on the menu. It honestly looks and tastes exactly like KFC coleslaw. Its all chopped up just like KCF coleslaw. The chili with brisket was okay. On the salty side but the chili was good. The brisket in the chili was also tough and hard to chew. The bread that comes with the meals were stale and dry. I tried dipping it in the bbq sauce but it didn't help. I'm so sad, because I was so excited to try this place again, but I don't think I can buy food from here again until something changes. Im rooting for this Dickeys to do well because I know what its supposed to taste like. I hope the management can change things up quickly. read more

I believe Dickie's is now under new owners. We went today and they were so friendly and upbeat. The brisket, sausage, ribs, fried okra, and Mac and cheese were all amazing. They even served the plate with onions and pickles like they do in Texas. I highly recommend this place now that's under new ownership. read more

Never ceases to amaze me how hard working the crew is. So happy and energetic. And the food is awesome too. Love this place and the people!

Service was okay but the food was very mid. i ordered the full rack of ribs and a quarter pound of brisket. I came in because I was craving a good bbq and haven't tried this place before. The ribs AND the brisket wasn't tender at all and fairly dry, barely having any flavor. I wouldn't recommend this bbq place. read more

Regrettably & reluctantly visited again today and it was another degrading, inappropriate, unprofessional, excessive shit show! I had last visited Oct 28th as noted below and hadn't been here for over 1 1/2 years before that for obvious reasons. Back then they weren't this bad and have only gotten worse since this David. I was threatened twice by "manager" David..."....before I do something to you...." and again "... before I put hands on this guy!" These threats were without escalation from my side and were not warranted whatsoever. This is one of the most negative and shittiest establishments on this island and I would imagine that they are not doing well and won't be open long. Keep in mind that this mistreatment...all from them & one sided...was after they delayed my orders for well over an hour! Until a few weeks ago I had not been here in over 1 1/2 years and I didn't miss it, but I wholly did regret it!! I also watched them discriminate against a targeted gay male by feigning out of stock pulled pork inventory and then threatening to make them wait another hour or only offer substitution of sausage to humiliate him in context of the name of the establishment and a nearby much older weird acting black female. The ownership and management of this location are TRULY CRUEL & ENTIRELY *DISGUSTING*!! I had plans to never visit this miserable place ever again after today and they made sure that I was stressed and made as miserable as possible before I left, almost as if it was premeditated. What a miserable hellhole of a place! I clearly don't need you....enjoy your miserable hell of a location until you close! I did not deserve this and, over time, YOU WILL LEARN that you wasted your time! [ P.S. : At least one customer recorded the manager threaten me unprovoked and multiple customers approached me later outside indicating that they thought this moron of a manager was out of control! All he did was try to escalate the situation, demean me, talk over me incessantly, and antagonize me repeatedly. Dealing with your manager was *EXTREMELY* UPSETTING and he clearly has not received all of the proper and adequate training, especially as it pertains to dealing with customers! His gang boy threats and body language certainly didn't impress me! What a disgusting shitshow!] _________________________________ From visit in October 28th, 2025 I don't visit this chain very often and it has been well over a year since I last visited this location and it was bad again right off the bat. I suffered 30+ minutes of constant cruel malfunctions and issues with both the app & the website in 2 different browsers trying to put my order through, which had a reward and gift card payments. Upon asking for the WiFi password multiple times to try to change from my mobile network I was immaturely & matter of factly told "I don't know the WiFi password." I asked in a manner for other employees to chime in and help, but no one offered assistance. I suffered another 10+ minutes before I was finally able to put the order through. Upon doing so I calmly approached the front counter to complain and was aggressively met by manager David as if he were waiting for me to say something! He was confrontational and uncompassionate about the situation and then lied and said that I was given the password when I specifically remembered that I was NOT GIVEN THE WIFI PASSWORD. I had to greatly restrain myself to prevent the situation from escalating further so that I could eat my food since I hadn't eaten anything yet. I didn't deserve this experience...I just wanted to order food like everybody else as a hungry human being! THIS WAS BULLSHIT! read more

I never write bad reviews but I find myself highly motivated to speak up. I ordered a baked potato loaded with sour cream, butter and green onions, and a side of cole slaw. What I got was a baked potato with about a teaspoon of butter and a teaspoon of sour cream, and about a tbs of Cole slaw ON the potato. Once I scraped the cold slaw off, I was left with a dry, cold potato. Don't waste your time here. read more

The brisket and fried orkra is the bomb. Rolls and mash potatoe. Great and friendly service.

I ordered through Uber eats on Friday, Sept 6 at around 7p. My order was priority but I didn't receive til about an hour later. The driver told me that the workers were playing around, they told driver it'll be a 10 minute wait but turned into 35 mins. What initially got me annoyed was that I received a gallon of lemonade with no lid on & just a plastic wrap over it! This is unsanitary to me and I don't know what could've gotten inside while being handled, but then I talked with the manager & he said that their empty gallons didn't have any lids. I was also missing my side of Mac & cheese. I won't be ordering any food from this place ever again! So disappointing! Also, after consuming the food, my family & I had an upset stomach. Maybe the workers aren't washing their hands properly. Whatever it is, I HIGHLY WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS BBQ PLACE! I wish I could give this place zero stars! Waste of my money! read more

Dickey's Barbecue Pit - American Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Stopped here for dinner while visiting Hawaii as the website looked promising! The second we walked in the door the look on the staff's face should've been our warning to leave, they did not look happy we were there and we got there 3 hours before closing. We tried to ordering three of the Giant Loaded Baker (loaded baked potato) and were told they only had one left. How do you only have one baked potato left for the night when you close in three more hours? We continued to order food and when my wife's Giant Loaded Baker arrived, it was cold! We were crushed, we had high hopes as the food looked great on the website however it was just all down hill once we got there. Maybe this is a "one time" occurrence or maybe this is normal however we will not be dining there again anytime soon or recommended it. read more
