Hawaiian Bros. Will Open its First Houston Location on Westheimer | Eater Houston

"This fast-casual chain, founded in Kansas City in 2018, is known for plate lunches that showcase Hawaiian flavors and is opening its first Houston outpost at 6522 Westheimer Road in a space formerly occupied by a Taco Cabana. The concept emphasizes simple, classic Hawaiian plate components — huli huli chicken, kalua pork, and spicy Kilauea chicken — paired with large scoops of creamy macaroni salad and steamed white rice, plus snacks like spam musubi and Dole pineapple soft-serve. After expanding into Texas, Missouri, and Illinois (with initial Texas locations in Austin and the Dallas–Fort Worth area), the chain is pursuing aggressive growth in Texas — reportedly planning up to 21 locations statewide and adding multiple DFW openings this fall — though no official Houston opening date has been announced." - Amy McCarthy
