A trip to Hawaii is usually a special treat, but a good alternative when you can’t get to the islands is some Hawaiian food, and soon Colorado will have a new option…

Hawaiian Bros, a Hawaiian-themed restaurant, plans to open 25 to 30 locations throughout the state of Colorado, with most of the locations being placed in the Denver Metro Area.

Hawaiian Bros is known for its island-inspired Plate Lunch, which features chicken or pork glazed with sweet, savory or spicy sauces; macaroni salad; and steamed white rice or vegetables. The restaurant also offers Dole Soft Serve as a sweet treat.

Hawaiian Bros is based out of Kansas City and currently has over 65 locations in 11 states.
