Updated as of 1/2026: we brought our visiting family members here for a quick lobster meal. The jumbo lobster roll was a hit as were the shrimp burgers. Surprisingly, the smash burger I had was pretty good. The prices were reasonable and there’s a resident’s discount on Wednesdays.

Original Review: Hidden inside one of the older buildings of Ward Village that will soon be demolished for more luxury condominiums. There were a few tables outside and as well as indoor next to this eatery. The lobster rolls were quite good and sufficiently big, the grilled shrimp sandwich was excellent. The fries were tasty and crispy, but a bit on the oily side.

My favorite burger in Oahu. Sometimes there is a lantomous difference in taste, but delicious fries are essential..

Ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries. The hype is real - at least for what I ordered. Amazing crisp on the chicken and the meat is still juicy. The fries were seasoned so well. Go ahead and get yourself a ranch dip sauce there because it is thick, it’s amazing, and well worth the extra fee.

Located conveniently next to the beach and dive shops, this spot was a great recommendation from a friend. The lobster roll was delicious—fresh and flavorful—but for the price, it would’ve been nice if a butter cup for dipping was included. That little addition would’ve made it even better and taste better. My only complaint is that they seem to nickel and dime you for sauces, which feels a bit stingy for an otherwise great experience.

The restaurant itself isn’t anything fancy, but it’s clean, well-kept, and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a comfortable place to relax and grab a bite after a day at the beach or diving.

Good tasting lobster rolls. Pricing is very high. Two lobster rolls and a Coke was $54. Some seating outside.

If you're cruising through paradise and craving something unforgettable, Fat Cheeks Hawaii is the move. Their lobster roll was Absolute next level. Overflowing with sweet, buttery lobster and served on a perfectly toasted roll. It was rich, fresh, and tastes like it was made with aloha and a little culinary magic.

Ordered the lobster roll sandwich and was definately not disappointed all the flavours melted together perfectly, with a name like Fat Cheeks you know it has to be good. The service persona t the counter was very friendly . In short next time I am in Hawaii this will be a place I will go out of my way for. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
