Mo Bettahs Hawaiian Style Food - (Near Waxahachie, TX)

4 /5 Jessie Rodriguez: First time visit and it was worth the wait. I got the Teri and Veggie plate and it was so good! The chicken was nicely cooked, seasoned and delish, as were the veggies, the macaroni salad, and the rice. I am trying the beef next time.

2 /5 James OHoro: I really want to like this place, but it’s hard when you get half of what you pay for. I occasionally go in person to a restaurant like this, order at the counter, and see exactly what I get. In person, the employee weighed the portions on a scale, which I appreciated. At least I knew I was getting the serving sizes I paid for which is important because I track my food intake for the gym gainz. But here’s the problem: when you order through the app or online, the portions aren’t even close. (Chipotle is notorious for shorting app orders, but apparently Mo’ Bettahs has the same issue.) Before ordering, I checked their website and was actually impressed. They list detailed macros and serving sizes for each plate and side. Again, as someone who tracks my meals for the gym, it saved me time not having to scour the internet for a nutrition chart. So my girlfriend placed the order online. Here’s what the website says a regular plate with two meats should include: Teriyaki Chicken: 287g Pulehu Chicken: 289g Rice (per scoop): 130g Macaroni Salad: 130g Here’s what I actually received: Teriyaki Chicken: 170g Pulehu Chicken: 154g Rice (2 scoops): 242g (short of the listed 260g) Macaroni Salad: 80g The only thing even close was the rice, and that was still under. In total, I got nearly half the food I paid for, yet was still charged full price. We called the manager, who said he’d “make it right,” but only if we physically brought the food back to the store. That’s not realistic, and frankly, I wasn’t looking for a refund. I just don’t appreciate being cheated. If they’re consistently serving portions this far off for online orders, that’s unacceptable. The food itself is good, and I like that it’s a quick, clean option after the gym. But I’ve learned my lesson: if I ever go back (big IF), I’ll only order in person.

1 /5 King Jason: I have been wanting to try this place for a while but just never stopped. So yesterday I ordered the Classic Ekolu that has teriyaki steak, teriyaki chicken, and kalua pig. I also ordered sides of Shrimp Tempura. Wow was I disappointed. The chicken was as tough as I have ever eaten, and being that it is dark meat that is hard to do. The shrimp was fairly decent no complaints there. The steak was good but there was not much of that. Now lets get to the pig, not only was it completely over salted and dry, it had something in it that was the texture of plastic, glass, rock salt, maybe bone. I thought maybe I just got a random piece but then took another bite and same thing. It was terrible anyways so it went in the trash. At least the macaroni salad was decent and the rice was good. Also I would probably suggest the guy sharpening his knife not to do it over the food, very odd for sure. On a side note the gentleman at the counter that took my order was pleasant and helpful. Will not be back though.

5 /5 Demric Woods: I recently visited Mo’Bettah’s in Waxahachie and couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish, the service was exceptional. The team was not only professional and efficient, but also incredibly warm—there was real camaraderie throughout the process of placing and picking up my order. The leadership at this location stands out as well. They took the time to share the store’s history and talked about their commitment to engaging with the community—something that really sets them apart from typical food chains. Now let’s talk food—protein for days! I ordered the teriyaki chicken and steak, shrimp tempura, kalua pig, pulehu chicken, and katsu chicken… and every bite was a winner. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Compared to other food chains in the area, Mo’Bettah’s is in a league of its own when it comes to quality and taste. This place checks all the boxes: stellar service, strong leadership, community spirit, and unbeatable food. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an elevated, island-inspired meal in Waxahachie! Matter of fact, I’m getting hungry all over again.

5 /5 Teresa Ann Lewis: This was my first time here, so just checking out the menu. I got the Large plated. 5 items plus meat. I got the teriyaki chicken three of those and they had pulled pork. Also got three rice the vegetables and coleslaw. The almost $20.00
