Ate here twice during our stay, amazing burgers. We got the smash burger but the others looked equally great. My wife loves the shaka fries whereas I prefer the regular. Can't go wrong here, and the prices are great for Hawaii. Not far from the airport either, so get them as you land or before departing the island and you won't be disappointed!

We ordered the smash burger and wow, it was sooo good. Our meal came with fries and those were very good as well. The burger had a lot of flavor and the toppings complimented the burger. Fries had a very good fry and just enough salt. Highly recommend.

We tried their Hawaii 5-0 and Shaka Fries. Service was very friendly and our food was served quickly. The burger was very good, and we really enjoyed the brioche bun it was served with. The Shaka Fries were incredible though and were the best part of our meal. Be sure to check out where they are currently located on their Instagram!

If you enjoy grass fed burgers, you'll love these. I'll admit I'm still on the fence about grass fed beef since it does change the taste, but my husband said it was the best burger on the islands we've visited. The owners are friendly, portions are great and price is fair for the quality and the island. We did have to track the truck down when it wasn't in the location on Google, but once you call the number, they let you know where it is (i.e. Botanical Gardens).

I do not often leave food reviews, but feel the need to share. I can honestly rank the bacon cheeseburger (don’t remember the official name) as one of the top 3 burgers I’ve eaten in my life. And I’m old and have eaten a lot of burgers. I was very pleasantly surprised by the food quality and fast service for a cooked to order burger. Seating was a covered area off of a parking lot, but the nice breeze made it very comfortable. All in all a great experience.

Shaka fries and Hawaii 5-0 burger where both incredible, my taste buds where fist bumping each other. Not bad price for the amazing quality and flavor.

The burger was exceptional and my husband had one of the pork dishes (kora in style) and said it was incredible. It’s a food truck but there’s a cute covered area with lots of picnic tables to sit. Great for a casual lunch.
