Now open Tuesdays. Same fantastic bbq and service. Beats flying to Texas. We always pick the fatty side of brisket.

Yummy! What brought me in were all the social media posts praising this place. Between the brisket and sausage for my favorite picks. I could personally just go ala carte cause it doesn't need any sides. But can't go wrong with white rice for locals and baked beans. I didn't try the ribs but I hear those are good, twice I've gone in and it was either sold out or one left and someone before me grabbed the last. This spot is located in a semi-busy area with lots of street metered parking. The appearance of the outside wouldn't tell you how huge it is inside. There are way more seats available than expected and I love that they offer seating where you can see where the magic is made and watch them work. But I've come too late where they're done cooking. All the workers are really nice and super helpful cause it can be overwhelming if it's your first time.The only thing I was disappointed with was the cornbread. Not what I was expecting, it was more like a bread pudding so it was kind of weird to me. Not my favorite but maybe for someone else.

Had a chance to lunch with a friend and we both wanted to try here. Paid street parking only, but there's quite a lot of stalls around the area.Walking in, it smelled heavenly...smoky, meaty, delicious. Plates to choose from, as well as ordering ala carte. You order at their counter, which is kinda like cafeteria style, and have a seat. Tables are throughout the establishment, with different views. The main dining area is filled with bbq/Texas memorabilia, but down the hallway, you have a view of their bbq smokers and possibly an inside peek of their process.I ordered cole slaw, cornbread, and brisket. The person carving the brisket gave me a little extra, which I appreciated because my lunch came out to just shy of $50!!! Though pricey and definitely not a come-here-often kind of place, the brisket was delicious...smoky, juicy, and tender. Cole slaw was fresh, with crunch and not too sweet. I was disappointed with the cornbread...way too moist and sweet for my liking because it seemed to have creamed corn mixed in. I prefer my cornbread on the drier side with a grainier cornmeal texture.Overall, this place is a must try since there aren't many BBQ places around town, but it'll be a splurge meal.

Sunset Texas Barbecue has been on my list of places to eat so we checked it out on a Saturday.Love the way they get you at you enter the door and all the signage and pictures on display. Ordering is simple when you order a plate. It comes with 2 scoups of rice and you chose 2 sides and your choice of meat. You can also order by the pound and take it home. I decided on the slaw, beans and smoked brisket, the plate also came pickle and onions and 2 sauces to try. Being out was a Saturday the Beef Rib was available that you can purchase separately, it was huge. The brisket had a nice smoke ring and was so tender, delicious! We shared the Beef Rib, great flavor and equally tender and tasty.It's a carnivore dream to eat a plate or one of the many smoked items. Definitely come back and try the other offerings.

I have been to Texas and had some of their incredible BBQ. With that in mind, I visited Sunset Texas BBQ again - while watching a BBQ showdown show on Netflix!This is still the best BBQ we can get here in Honolulu IMO. But truth be told, there are some differences that I have noticed in the last couple times I have gone there. One of my favorite sides is their beans (I love the them). But lately the beans have been less soft than they used to be. They have also seemed to really dial down the spiciness. I used to love that "kick" but now it's really muted and it's not spicy at all.The brisket is not as tender as it used to be. When they were in Wahiawa it used to be very, very soft. In Texas the brisket was so soft, I couldn't believe it. So when I picked up my brisket today, it just was too "tight". Not the same soft brisket as before.I went right when they opened so I have no idea if this affects the softness of the brisket or the beans being firm.Overall, still the best place around - but it lost a little bit of the "magic" that it used to have for sure. The flavor is still there.

Wow! Don't know what took me so long to finally try this location out? I used to go to the Sunset Texas BBQ when it was in Wahiawa, and it was by far the best barbecue here locally. This location in Kakaako idid not disappoint and was just as good as I remember. Had the brisket plate with rice, cole slaw, and baked beans. Brisket was practically melt on your mouth soft, cole slaw was excellent, beans were okay but could have been spicier and more flavorful, at least in my opinion.All in all a great place to visit! Convenient location with lots of metered parking in front, big space with lots of seating, friendly staff, large portions, fair pricing, and the best barbecue on the island. Will definitely be back soon to try their other plates.
