Aloha BBQ Grill - Hawaiian restaurant in Lubbock - 9810 Indiana Ave # 800, USA

First time visiting, came with a coworker because he loved it. I was very surprised. The food taste just like Hawaii. The Mac Salad was my favorite. The BbQ meat is awesome and plentiful. I’m a big eater and I didn’t finish it. The place is small and a bit run down but it is definitely worth a trip to try it. Potstickers seemed out of place with a Hawaiian menu but they were very very good.

First time having Hawaiian food. It was excellent! We arrived not long after they opened so the wait was a little bit long because they were still preparing all the food, but once they finished everything they were able to get food out very quick. I ordered the mixed plate and everything was super flavorful. The Mac salad was excellent. All the meat on the plate was very good! Easily could become one of my favorite spots in Lubbock. We will definitely be back.

Visited this place again - ordered on food 7/28 - ordered one dish, took 40 minutes to be ready. We noticed the chicken fried rice comes out quickly, must be something they make ahead of time. The ordering process leaves something to be desired. People were getting food before us and they ordered way after us ? Food was delish-IOUs - but the wait is insane. You can eat in, and have a few seats there. ------- Good food, expect a wait, one cashier and one cook...The cashier does the cooking as well. We ordered a mini BBQ beef with white rice and macaroni salad. Plus an order of fried noodles with chicken. Both were huge portions. Only gave 4 stars because mine was not hot after waiting a bit to get food I was kinda expecting hot food. Still very delicious and worth the wait. Don't call and try to order the phone ...just rings and rings ....they are too busy cooking to take the phone orders. They do have his and her bathroom as well. Seating is available inside and out.

The only bad thing about our visit was, NOTHING!!! We got out of the car and could smell how good it was gonna be. Took about 30 minutes for our order, and it was well worth the wait. If the rest of the menu tastes as good as these 4 dishes did, it won’t take long for us to have had everything at least twice. The chicken made me think of my short time on the big island back in the 90’s. This is definitely a must have on your list of places to eat on the regular. I look forward to the next time we come. My wife isn’t a big fan of spam, but if it tastes as good as what she had tonight, she can’t wait to try it next time.

I've heard lots of good things about this place , but once I got here it was so small inside and super hot. The place inside looks run down . The side of town it's located on I would have expected it to look better inside . As for the food the bbq short rib plate looked amazing and the short ribs were really good . The Rice and the macaroni salad were very bland . Even with adding salt the flavor slightly improved . $17 for the bbq short ribs plate is alot , I wouldn't recommend getting this plate.

2023: the food and it's volume is still wonderful. But the spotty reliability about when they're open and how LONG of a wait is deterrent. I've read it's is so low staffed and they often go back home for long stretches it makes sense but the last order I had inate 2022 was more than an hour and I just don't want to sit at their shop for that to find in or go home. 😞 2018: Every visit here is on point, everything is always delicious and filling and hot. It's probably the best bang for your buck in Lubbock, outside of your very stereotypical McDonalds. They give you a ton of food for your money. And it's all authentic, according to my family who has lived in Hawaii. The macaroni salad is hands-down my favorite thing to eat there especially with a bite of rice. Everything on the menu is fantastic from the katsu chicken to the musubi to the saimin to the Kahlua pork. It is never a bad choice to eat here. More often than not I call in an order and pick it up for lunch, if you get the opportunity especially on a nice day, dining outside with a box full of their food is a perfect afternoon. Also their fried rice and down beside out anywhere else in town simply because when you order the protein, be it chicken or bacon or another kind, they overload you with that protein. You're not hunting for chicken or bacon, it's slapping you in the face with its flavor and presence. They don't short you in any respect.

Food is amazing!!! Wait is a little long, but honestly it's worth it. A plate can feed two people. Definitely more bang for your buck.

Aloha is back open everyone! I came all the way from ohio to try this and I can confirm this is the best noodles I've ever had. I recommend trying the stir fry beef noodles with 3 eggs and just a heads up it is a busy place.
