Customer Reviews

Really enjoyed the visit to whiskey smoke 808 for the first time. The waiter was really wise and walked us through the menu like a pro. Definitely got us the right size portions based on steering us in the right direction. I had the pork and brisket tacos. Both were great. I tried the guava bbq sauce also it was nice and had a good like twang to it. The mac and cheese was so great and you could taste the smoke. Really Enjoyed the meal and service. Not a ton of seating so probably best to get in early. The pit master was nice enough to show us some of the meats being smoked. Great family and people! I'd come back and think it's some of the best bbq on Oahu! Mahalo!

Love love love. Service is good, welcomed by friendly staffs. Restaurant is not big so be prepared maybe longer waiting time during peak hours like weekends. Food was solid, recommend chicken wings with chili guava, brisket and lamb chop. Super tender and flavorful. I've been there several times already, the food quality is very stable and have good consistency.

Good BBQ. The pulled pork is much better than what we had at the Luau we went to. A little pricey, but no more than anywhere else in Hawaii. My husband and I shared the two meat plate and it was plenty for the both of us.

Not going to lie, probably the best BBQ we've had on the island since moving here. My husband and I first tried this place at the Tattoo Expo in town and it hit the spot! We've been back twice now since the expo and it just gets better. You can't go wrong with their burgers, pork ribs, brisket, or Mac & cheese!!! Highly recommend trying their desserts, especially their banana pudding. Staff is friendly and the young lady who makes desserts is always checking in us. Make sure to support her and this business!

I'm a vegetarian and I LOVED this stop. Sure, my husband loved the meat--my husband loved the brisket sandwich, it looked like juicy goodness. And I LOVED their sides. The fries were just the right crispy texture and their coleslaw was fresh and flavorful. Their sweet potato casserole was mouth watering! Loved love love it all. OH and to top it off, Meggled Browned butter tres leches cake was perfection. Thank you!
