Usually I take pretty good pictures, but in this case, everything tasted better than my photos looked.

What a hole-in-the-wall gem this is. This is Texas worthy barbecue in Hawaii! The street parking is limited along with the seating, but well worth it. I ordered a Pulled Pork Plate, Brisket Plate and some Pork Ribs. Everything was on point and delicious.

I am from Texas, born & raised. This is some of the best brisket I’ve had in my life. It was tender, smoke ring intact, and seasoned perfectly. Grew up visiting North Carolina & that Carolina style pulled pork plate is top two I’ve ever had. Customer service was also fantastic. It’s a solid 10/10. You won’t regret.

4.5 stars – meat was good, sides were hit and miss. Whenever we trave,l we always try barbque in other places, we’ve found great Texas style BBQ in Utah and Arizona and today in Oahu. We’ve had smoked Hawiian BBQ here before which is different but good and we were curious to try this place. Hawaii has a wood that is very similar to Mesquite which is what ww use at home in Texas to cook with. There are a couple of establishments touting Texas Style BBQ in Oahu, we decided to try Sunset Texas BBQ because it had the best reviews and many from Texans. It was good, IMHO the brisket needed to be trimmed more it was a bit fatty, my husband said the pork ribs were good (fall of the bone which indicates they were cooked a bit too long, they should have a bit of pull) but tasty. Their link sausage had an amazing flavor (it was the one meat I could really taste the smoke flavor). Their creamed corn was very close to Rudy’s (a Texas chain BBQ place) and their coleslaw was very tasty. The sauce was kind of flavorless, but if meat is cooked right it shouldn’t need sauce anyway (and theirs did not). The beans were okay, but not Texas style. Myhusband liked the potato salad for me it has a very strong mustard/vinegar flavor which I don’t care for. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.

The servers were very helpful and patient as this was our first visit. It won’t be our last. We ordered the brisket and smoked sausage. Brisket was very tendered tasty. Sausage was delicious with a nice smoked taste. We got the Cole slaw and baked beans as sides. Perfect compliment to the meal. It also came with rice as a regular item. They also gave us two sauces we used for dipping. We couldn’t decide which we liked more, so we enjoyed each equally. Great bbq as we’ve had since visiting Texas earlier this year.

We visited Sunset Texas Barbecue a few weeks ago wanting lunch only to find sadly they were closed (they sold out of meat which apparently told us this must be good!) We returned and found them to be open. Oh my gosh!! This is the BEST BBQ on the island that we’ve tried so far!! Hubby had the brisket plate and I had the pulled pork plate. Bursting with that down home BBQ flavors. Both meats were super tender melt in your mouth goodness. This will definitely be our go to bbq place and we will be telling our friends to give them a try. Oh and the staff were super nice making this an all around great experience. Mahalo Sunset BBQ we WILL be back!
