This is the worst Chili's-EVER!! Deep fried food was soggy/greasy, Hair in the hamburger, the noisiest restaurant and lowlife patrons. McDonald's would have been better.

Great burgers! Also started a new menu with local style plate lunches. Very convenient for businesses nearby.

Good grub, cheap prices. Great spot for take-out ... but you really have no choice, since there's no seating area. The Grubus is easy to spot during the week, when they're open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. They're located in an industrial area, close to Keehi Lagoon. I swing by on a Monday to grab several lunch items to go. They no longer have their specials on themed days. Instead, their specials are available daily ... but they changed their line-up (no more "Meatball Mondays." I was sad, since I specifically came for that). But, there's still lots on the menu to pick from, whether you're in the mood for burgers, sliders, salads, wraps, hot dogs or beef. Everything is made to order to guarantee freshness. Even though I order four items, I don't have to wait a long time. Here's a sampling of what I got: "Chicago Dog": This dog comes topped with the works - mustard, relish, freshly chopped onions, tomatoes, kosher pickle, sport peppers and celery salt piled onto a steamed poppyseed bun and a side of fries. I actually like my hot dog plain, so the boyfriend ate most of this one. He said the bun was super moist, but the dog was lacking in flavor, tasting like an "ordinary hot dog." Hmm, maybe they were having an off day, since this truck is known for their Chicago fare. I'm down to try one of the other dogs on the menu, but of all the things we ordered, this was not our favorite. Hopefully they were just having an off day, though, cause other reviews rave about this dog. "Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap": I was craving something slightly healthier, so I went for the most popular wrap on the menu. It featured grilled chicken breast, buffalo ranch sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese blend wrapped in a flour tortilla. Apparently, I had my choice of flour, spinach or tomato flavors, but no one asked. Next time, I would get spinach. "Hawaiian Bus Burger": I was debating between this burger and the original "Bus" burger, since they're the top two picks under the burgers section. But, I ended up going with Hawaiian because it was really different with that pineapple salsa. This burger includes teriyaki sauce, American cheese, the pineapple salsa and grilled onions and comes with a side of fries. Now, this burger was juicy and yummy (1/3 lb. Angus beef). The pineapple salsa, coupled with the teriyaki sauce, gave it a sweeter aftertaste, which I really enjoyed. "Second City Sliders": This entrée comes with not three, but four mini burgers grilled on a bed of onions and served on steamed buns topped with mustard, ketchup and a kosher pickle chip and a side of fries. What a bang for my buck! The sliders were not the best I'd ever tasted, but the meat patty was good and the buns tasted fresh. I just couldn't get over the great deal. Plus, this came with fries. I love crinkle cut fries, and most of the entrées come with them. Just be sure to eat them while they're piping hot ... it won't taste the same later on. "Shrimp Tacos": These tacos are super popular, but now you can get them every day ... not only on Taco Tuesday. They feature two baja-style shrimp tacos topped with Romaine, cheddar blend, homemade salsa and baja sauce. I would be down to try these one day just cause I love shrimp tacos, but I would probably order it with the salsa on the side (depending on how hot it is). "Burritos": During the time of my visit, Grubus had just introduced burritos and bowls to their menu. It almost sounded like Chipotle, so I can't wait to revisit and order one of these. Burritos/bowls include cilantro lime rice, your choice of black or refried beans (I would skip the beans) and your choice of steak, chicken or kalua pig (I would get chicken or kalua pig). Then, you choose from an assortment of veggies and condiments. I would go for Romaine, cheddar blend, sour great and chopped

Love everything I tried here so far from their all beef burgers to their latest on the menu, the Burritos!!! If you don't know or can't decide what you want, just ask the cook what her suggestion is and you won't go wrong. They offer 10% off for 1st responders and Military.

Omg this was a good burger! I was a part of an office order (which they had no problem filling and didn't give any grief about) and went for the pick up. Easy to see, and a nice clean set up. I had their cheeseburger which had the most amazing pickles on it and a sauce that had a little kick. The bun held up and was sturdy yet still delicious and fresh. I only put the burger down once, to try my cheesy tots. The tots are crispy and had a nacho sauce. This will definitely be a regular lunch spot for me.

I have to say that this is the BEST Chicago Style Dog that I have had on Oahu. I have tried several places that have Chicago Style Dogs and have been disappointed each time. This dog had he right mix of flavors and was great. The Grubus is parked on Koapaka Street behind Aloha Kia and is there for lunch Monday-Friday. The food is made fresh right in front of you and for a new food truck, they seem consistently busy during lunch. If you like Chicago Style Dogs it is worth the trip, if you have never tried one then this is the place to go to see what the hype is all about.... just like it is made in Chicago.
