I’ve had the pleasure of eating here since 1987. We grab our burgers and go straight to our little spot and dine in paradise

Always have to wait for food but it's totally worth it. Best burgers on Kauai, period! So glad they re-opened after being closed a few years

Great burgers 😋 after a day at the beach.
Be careful of the chickens 🐓 they are bold and will jump up on the table and try to get your food while you're eating. It was funny and we had a good laugh 😂. Our first time in Kauai and we definitely will be back to Kauai and to Duane's Ono-Char Burger 🤙🏻

McDonald’s is a better option for over half the price.

It's not bad, just a little pricey. Five of us and it came out to 112 dollars. If it was amazing I wouldn't have minded. It was okay.

Great place for a quick burger or sandwich. Takeout or eat at the outdoor dining area. The patio had picnic tables with umbrellas for shade. No indoor dining.

Took awhile even though they weren't that busy. Food was good. Some outdoor seating that was shaded. I think I would give it a second chance.

There’s a reason this place is a must whenever we visit the island and our experience this time was just as amazing as every other time we have come. Thankful they survived the pandemic. The quality of food, friendliness of staff and overall atmosphere were top tier. Our go-tos are always the teriyaki, local boy and local girl. If and or when you are on Kaua’i, make this happen on your way up to the North Shore. You won’t regret it.

The previously owned Ono-Char burger (was closed for a few years)… same location made absolutely delicious and huge burgers was raised on Kauai and this spot was a must eat at when going to Hanalei. Meat had a very distinct charcoal flavor- burgers were flavorful and juicy and fat!!!! Hefty Kaiser Buns were buttery and toasted. Veggies were generous. I believe that this restaurant is having success off of the amazing reputation it once had.
Fast forward to our recent experience this month….my husband and I were visiting from the mainland. We expected quality-the same from the new owners and were sorely disappointed.
Burger char taste was missing, burger itself was small and lacked seasoning flavor. Bun was very small. For a $15 dollar burger I was left feeling like I was gypped. The only redeeming quality of the meal was the fries were good. Wish they offered garlic salt and chili pepper vinegar water to douse fries in like the original. Hopefully, the new owners step up their game and make some changes. Unfortunately, I won’t be back to find out. So bummed.
