    Single Plate with brisket
    Taylor F.

    Friendly service but just average bbq. I got the one choice plate with brisket and rice and tater salad for my sides. The brisket was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor without the bbq sauce. The tater salad was really good though and had a lot of dill flavor. My coworker got a two choice plate and got double brisket but only got one more piece of brisket than the single choice plate. Some other coworkers got the mac and cheese for their side and said it was just ok. Overall an ok spot for lunch, service was quick and welcoming, but nothing really special especially for the price.

    This experience was pretty darn great! The greeting at the door was pleasant and welcoming. The employees were very friendly and happy to explain each item they offered. It was a smooth order and we enjoyed the tasty barbecue! Thank you !

    Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... We tried to go to the new Pepper Lunch at Moanalua Shopping Center, but the line was long. I had been to the Las Vegas location with my Twinsie, Joyce W. of Arizona... and i have happy memories of Pepper Lunch... Anyway... TEX 808 BBQ & Brews was along the strip of businesses. There was no line and several tables were available. It was relatively clean, bright and nicely air-conditioned. Service was alright. We heard the cashier offer BBQ sauce to other customers, "spicy, mild, or sweet). We weren't offered any sauce. I was looking around for a condiment area, but only found salt and pepper shakers. My friend asked for sauce and was offered spicy or mild. All three of us got the mild sauce which was a bit tangy. When we heard that there was a sweet sauce, my friend stood up again to ask for the sweet sauce and only got one container. Later, my friend asked for hand wipes. The staff pointed to a can of wipes. I ordered the Double meat plate which comes with two sides. I chose brisket and ribs... and corn and slaw. The sauce made the tender meats flavorful. The slaw could use more seasoning. The corn was great! Overall, it was a filling and pleasant experience. We chatted for a while before the staff started to put chairs on the tables at 7pm. This restaurant is supposed to close at 8pm. We're appreciative of the free shared parking!

    I was really excited to try this place because I've been wanting to go for awhile. Went around 4p -n- was excited that it was Happy Hour. We weren't greeted when we walked in (no one else was there), but the cashier was very nice when she rang us up. We got the burnt ends with a side of Mac -n- cheese, the pork sliders, a pork taco, -n- the brisket taco. We also got the banana pudding. Sad to say, the food was just...meh. The brisket -n- burnt ends were on the dry side, -n- so was the mac -n- cheese. The pork was ok. The banana pudding was also ok. I would go back again though, to try everything else on the menu, because we love barbecue.

    I wanted to like it, since I was really craving BBQ and my go to spot around the corner was closed today. I'd compare it to a Dickeys. The pork and brisket were on the dry side, I would blame it on being under a heater for the day but I went around 11am, so it shouldn't have tasted as dry as it was. Mac n cheese was average. The slaw was a vinegar base but didn't really have much on it, so it tasted like straight cabbage. Overall, average chain type fast food bbq. Wasn't bad, wasn't good.

    Pulled Pork with baked beans and Mac and cheese
    Kainani K.

    Definitely a different experience! Being from Oahu, I thought the pulled pork would be similar to Kalua Pork but it isn't. There wasn't much flavor to it. However, if you eat the pork with the baked beans, it's absolutely delicious! I'm so happy I got the Mac and cheese with it because it's so creamy and delicious. The overall plate was good, and I'll definitely be back to try the brisket; they were sold out by the time we stopped by.

    First time trying here... dinner
    Gail U.

    First time here to order for dinner. We decided to share a Triple plate. Order came out fast and when you open the lid of the carton it looks full and worth the price of $30+. Growing up and as a grown up used to the taste of Tony Romas, Big City Diner, Ruby Tuesday and Chicken In A Barrel, the taste did not entice me but it was pull apart tender for the meat choices. I liked the Cole slaw. The corn looked yummy but I had to abstain due to dietary restrictions at present so more for hubs. Lucky guy. Taste is a personal preference so you might just adore their food a lot.

    RIP OFF!!! $60 for 3 choice, 2 taco, 2 can soda and banana pudding. Double brisket & pork ribs plate Mac n cheese, Cole slaw as our sides Brisket so dry! No flavor. There was a thick slab of fat on the brisket yet it was soooooo dry. I don't eat pork however husband said that was dry and tastes better than brisket. Mind u they charge $3 more per brisket order. It was so bad that I took maybe 6 small bites and submerged it in the bbq sauce. Even that didn't help. WHAT A WASTE! Wanted to order a small rice which was 8oz and to my disbelief $5.50? For 1 scoop. WILD. SO WILD!!!! Tacos looked pretty but didn't taste great. When the meat is dry. Banana pudding. sooo sad. 8oz of banana cream pudding with 3 NILLA wafers and 3 slices of banana. Are u kidding me? $6 for that? Good note: the employees are really friendly. Place is very clean. They have a tv. But ..... I am here for the food!

    Mac n Cheese SO ONO
    Rich S.

    Been meaning to leave review but got busy. Anyhow, stopped by on November 17th around 3pm for some grindz as my wonderful wife (yeah, she is) and I was in the area. Was our first time dining at this place. But, we always dine at their sister establishment "Teddy's Bigger Burgers" -- Read some reviews and thought we'll give it a try?! The Food was quite flavorful and tasty. My wife ordered the Brisket Sandwich and I got the Big Texan. The meats were tender and really juicy!!! My wife LOVED her sandwich and I was "struggling" to finish mine. I knew should've gotten the burrito LOL I normally don't eat a lot of bread. We also got a side of mac and cheese, coleslaw, a banana pudding, my wife got a bottle of unsweetened tea and I got a bottle of water. The mac/cheese was ONO!!! Definitely get that again!! Coleslaw was pretty nice and refreshing too! The banana pudding was pleasantly sweet, banana-y, even though mostly artificial tasting. It did have real bananas at the bottom, and it was the perfect thing to compliment the ending of a meal. Btw, the kind gentleman behind the counter checked on us while we dined inside and he seemed to know the "regulars" as he greeted everyone coming in to grab a meal. I thought that was pretty COOL. -- The prices were pretty decent. I mean you're buying meat after all. Think our bill was around $60. Just keep in mind that when you pay with a credit/debit card. There's a $3 surcharge. Many businesses do this nowadays so don't be surprised. Best just pay cash!! Overall, it was a great dining experience. Mahalo nui loa :))

    Had to try the Street Tacos, 1lb brisket, half pound sausage, corn & Mac n cheese. fricken ono!

    I loved it here. Truly a hole in the wall. Parking is really tough so street parking is usually…read moregonna be the norm unless you get lucky in their tiny shared parking lot. The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

    TL;DR The spicy pork…read moreis good. ----- I had Guava Smoked on my radar for quite a while, so when I found myself nearby and craving a protein-packed plate lunch, I decided to drop in. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant that is shared with the other businesses in the same building. When I walked into the restaurant at about 1pm on a Wednesday, I was surprised to find it almost empty. It's a pretty large space, so the lack of patrons was rather glaring. There was one person sitting at the counter facing the kitchen and one employee working. This was my very first visit to Guava Smoked so I asked the person at the counter what he recommends. He said the two most popular meats are the kalbi and the spicy pork. "Perfect!" I thought, because those were the two options I was eyeing. Unfortunately, they were out of kalbi that day. Bummer... Nothing else on the menu caught my eye, so I ordered a smoked spicy pork plate to go. The spicy pork was good. Did it blow my mind? I wouldn't say it did. But it was satisfying enough. Honestly, I really wish they had kalbi available when I went. Hopefully next time I stop in they will.
