Located at 6201 South Custer Road, right across from PJ’s Coffee and near TPC Craig Ranch and Liberty High School, the new Mo’ Bettahs introduces McKinnians to its island-style barbecue menu, with items like the classic Hawaiian plate lunch.

The opening festivities began on Thursday, Jan. 25 with a “Friends & ’Ohana” pre-opening event, at which complimentary lunch plates were served along with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mo’ Bettahs founders Kimo and Kalani Mack. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, complimentary dinner plates were served.

Mo’ Bettahs McKinney celebrated its first day of business Friday, Jan. 26, opening the doors at 10:30 a.m. On Monday, Jan. 29, the restaurant will host “BOGO Monday” when guests can enjoy a “Buy One, Get One Regular Plate” all day long.

“It’s an honor to bring our authentic Hawaiian dining experience and aloha spirit to the McKinney community,” said co-founder Kimo Mack in a statement. “We’re excited to expand Mo’ Bettahs throughout Texas, growing our ‘ohana (family) and sharing our fresh-from-the-islands food!”

The McKinney location is the seventh Mo’ Bettahs restaurant in DFW, and drive-thru service is available. Its hours of operation are Monday – Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

At Mo’ Bettahs, guests can immerse themselves in the island culture with authentic Hawaiian-style food, using only the finest ingredients. Guests can enjoy Hawaiian staples like its traditional plate lunch, featuring their choice of Mo’ Bettahs delectable meats – grilled teriyaki chicken or steak, kalua pig, pulehu chicken, katsu chicken or shrimp tempura – paired with the brand’s one-of-a-kind macaroni salad and steamed rice.
