Hula Hut is owned by Chuy's which I'm sure you have up in Dallas. They started in Austin, are in Houston, San Antone and branching out all over (saw one in Bowling Green!) I've been to the Austin Hula Hut twice and the menu is very similar to the Tex-Mex served at Chuy's. First time was a horrible experience riddled with overcrowding and horrible service. Returned years later and was disappointed again. The location overlooking the water is nice but I wouldn't by any stretch consider the place "tiki." I ordered the Hawaiian fajitas and it was exactly the fajitas you'd get at Chuy's with two small rings of canned pineapple tossed on top. I remember the cocktail menu being all tequila drinks and if they had a rum drink it was Sailor Jerry or Malibu (or both) and I didn't bother ordering it. I can't speak for the Dallas location but if it's anything like Austin go in with low expectations and you just might not be disappointed.
