    The Hixson location leans heavily into a "fast-casual plus" aesthetic. It is bright, clean, and unmistakably tropical without feeling kitschy. The interior features bold teals and warm wood accents, creating an energetic, efficient environment. While it's designed for high-volume throughput, the open layout and upbeat island soundtrack make it a pleasant spot for a quick sit-down meal. It avoids the cluttered feel of many local diners, opting instead for a streamlined, digital-forward atmosphere that prioritizes speed and cleanliness. Service at the Hixson branch is notably consistent. The staff manages the "island pace" well--meaning they are friendly and welcoming--while maintaining the rapid-fire efficiency required for a busy lunch rush. Orders are typically ready within minutes of being placed, either via the kiosks or the front counter. Our order was out in less than 6 minutes after it was placed. The menu is a masterclass in "doing a few things perfectly." The core of the menu is the plate lunch: two scoops of white rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and a protein. Huli Huli Chicken is the signature dish. The chicken is grilled over an open flame and glazed with a sweet, savory teriyaki-style sauce. The Hixson location hits the mark on the char--providing those slightly caramelized edges that balance the sweetness of the pineapple-infused glaze. For those who prefer a bit of heat, my wife chose the Molokai Chicken. It uses the same tender thigh meat as the Huli Huli but introduces a spicy pepper profile. It's a "creeping" heat--not overwhelming at first, but it builds beautifully against the neutral backdrop of the white rice. In Hawaii, the "mac salad" can make or break a plate lunch. Hawaiian Bros serves a version that is creamy, heavy on the mayo, and purposefully soft. It is the essential cooling element that gives the Molokai chicken its spice. No visit to the Hixson location is complete without the Dole Soft Serve. It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and incredibly refreshing. The pineapple flavor is iconic, but if you want to level up, ask for a "twist" (if available) or simply enjoy the bright, acidic finish to a savory, protein-heavy meal. Our Final Verdict Hawaiian Bros Hixson brings a much-needed variety to the local food scene. It doesn't pretend to be fine dining; instead, it excels at serving high-quality, consistently comforting food with a tropical flair. It's an ideal spot for a reliable, flavorful lunch that feels slightly more "adventurous" than your standard burger or taco run. I recommended that you order the Large Molokai Chicken plate with an extra side of Mac Salad and a small Dole Soft Serve.

    Tried this place for the first time yesterday, and probably won't go back unless they add more side options to the menu. The chicken was flavorful, however, the macaroni salad tasted like medicine. I had several ppl reach out on social media saying the same thing, stating they normally just do double rice since there aren't any better options. I was hoping it would be another go to healthy-ish fast food place like Kava, but unfortunately It's not.

    Food was a little different but was delicious! Restaurant was clean. Employees were very friendly & helpful! We will definitely go back!

    We went there once a couple of days after they opened. The Honolulu and Molakai chicken were alright. The huli huli chicken, rice, and Mac salad were not good at all. The veggies were cooked fine but very plain. We decided tonight to give them another chance. The first time we went into the restaurant. Tonight we used Uber eats. My son got a combo plate with pork that was very salty and molokai chicken, that turned was huli huli chicken. I had huli huli and Honolulu. My plate looked a mess and only had one serving of chicken, only tasted like huli huli. The rice was better today. We won't be back.

    4.5/5. Service is quick, staff were friendly and the restaurant is clean. Everyone has raved about how great this place is, so we walked in with big expectations. The food was just okay and maybe the overly positive lead up was part of the reason I was disappointed. Portions sizes are what you'd expect and the food was hot, but the flavor was lacking a bit for me. We'll go back for sure, but I don't see it being something we venture to often.

    I now know why the parking lot is always empty.  A starving dog couldn't chew this Honolulu "chicken."  NEVER GOING BACK.  Gag!

    Serving palatable food would be a tremendous improvement! I feel sorry for starving dogs, but would not feed them this crap. Next time you need or want to throw up, this is the place for you! No wonder the parking lot is always empty. The quality of food has drastically gone down hill since my previous review. Never going back--deleted the app. Pictured below is over half the food I could not eat or chew today.

    Mahalo = thank you...come again!

    Like so many places in Chattanooga, this wonderful restaurant is tucked away next to Coolidge Park…read moreon the north side of the Tennessee river. The restaurant can be found on the lower level just below an ice cream shop. Muscadine vines climb a staircase to the right. On warm days there are a few outdoor seating options which I'm sure are hard to get. In doors were cozy filled with greenery. Seats and table had an American folk feel. I was interested in the beet burger. The day I went, I ordered the special any patty with mushrooms and Gouda. Great flavor! I expected the beet patty to be closer to beet texture. It wasn't very beet like in texture or flavor. It was pink like beets. If you don't like the earthy flavor of beets, you'll be able to handle this patty. I didn't try something new for my sides. I ordered tots-always will choose tots! They were good. My only complaint was that the bathroom lights were to dim! I look forward to coming back here, the next time I need an escape from N AL!

We walked in and had the option of eating outside which we did but the table was dirty so we went back inside and secured a table. We had different waitstaff so we really didn't know who was going to take our order. I ordered the buffalo bowl. My friends seemed to enjoy their food too. The food was okay, the vibe was weird. We were waiting for the server to process our checks but they never came. I had to ask where we paid. I personally would not come back but we really only went because my friend is gluten free.

    I've never had CAVA before until this place opened here, and I wish this was here earlier. Where…read morehas this been all my life? I always opt to make my own bowl. I switch between different proteins because there's so many different options. I've picked the Harissa Chicken, Grilled Chicken, and Falafel. I like doing the half and half and each of those proteins were delicious. They were juicy and not dry. The veggies tasted fresh, the sauces and proteins were flavorful and so tasty. Also I love how we can choose up to three different dips. I pretty much go for most of the toppings except avocado. And also the dressings!! I mix it up every time and the combinations have worked pretty well together, in harmony with everything in my bowl. It's hard to pick a favorite veggie for me because each one is so good, but I'll always get the pickled onions and fire roasted corn. For me, I have no complaints whatsoever. I always describe this place as a Chipotle but Mediterranean. I always get takeout so I can't comment on the ambiance inside. But ordering online is fairly simple and straight forward. This is one of my favorite places in the area to go and get food. Oh and also the juices are great too. I always get the Cucumber Mint Lime because it hits every single time, but I'd like to try their other juices too. I can't wait until the next time I come back here. Love you CAVA!

    This was my first time visiting the brand-new CAVA here on Gunbarrel Rd, and my family and I…read moredecided to check it out for lunch. We were excited to try something fresh and healthy, and CAVA's Mediterranean flavors did not disappoint! I ordered the Harissa Avocado Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. The vibrant mix of flavors and colors made the bowl feel like a full experience - spicy harissa honey chicken paired with the bold hot harissa vinaigrette gave it just the right amount of kick. The Crazy Feta and hummus added a creamy balance, while the avocado, fire-roasted corn, pickled onions, Persian cucumber, and feta brought freshness and texture. All of it came together beautifully over basmati rice and SuperGreens. Every bite felt fresh, flavorful, and filling. For my drink, I went with a large cup of fresh lemonade, which was the perfect refreshing balance to the spice in my bowl. The service was quick and friendly, with the staff taking the time to walk us through the menu since it was our first visit. The ambiance is modern, bright, and welcoming - perfect for a casual family lunch but also a great spot if you're on the go. Fun fact: CAVA actually started in 2006 in Washington, D.C., and has grown into a nationwide favorite for healthy Mediterranean cuisine. They focus on fresh, customizable meals and even make many of their dressings and dips in-house! Overall, I'm so glad we gave this place a try. This new Gunbarrel location is a fantastic addition to the area, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying other bowls and pitas on the menu. Highly recommend!
