21 Best Burger Restaurants near Kapaa

“Just discovered Kenji burger near the end of my contract with the pride of America and I WILL be back in November! 10/10, absolutely delicious!“

“Best coconut malasadas that we found. They are super fluffy but not warm. Easy to find and park and they have a variety of coffees“

“Bubba Burgers in Kapaa was delicious. Open, breezy atmosphere. The food was delicious!!! The sweet lady at the register was so very patient with us, as it was our first time there and she thoughtfully explained each burger and recommendations. We had the Kaua'i burger (teriyaki with pineapple)...top notch, definitely recommend!“

“Best ribs I’ve eaten ever…thanks Mike! We missed you LPK! 😁“

“The cost of a large coke and large fries was $4.29 EACH . ThIS is RIDICULOUS! Your competition sells their drinks for $1. Had I known that it would’ve cost me a few dollars more to get a meal, I would’ve. NEVER AGAIN!“

“Great barbecue! Everything was good, I especially liked the chicken. A member of our party is lactose intolerant, and there were no problems whatsoever with that, with no special requests or modifications required. The mac salad was great, and was lactose-free.“

“One of the best Garlic Shrimp place on the island so far (we tried 8 others prior). Large shrimps (around 5 pieces) with shell on, head on. Comes hot, spicy, and garlicy. Friendly owner Nd quick service. Not too many shades to sit when it gets crowded.“

“Best McDonald’s on the island! I love their food, and drinks, and all the workers here are very nice! I usually go in the drive thru here rather than go in, and get food. I would go in the drive thru and get food if you want to get your food faster because it takes longer going inside and get it usually. Would I recommend coming here? Yes of course! But it’s better to come when they are not super busy.“

“Shaka Burgers makes me smile! They’re so good! Best burgers on Kauai! And their shaka fries are incredible! All served with a smile out of their red food truck across from the Costco gas station.“

“I recommend the fried chicken with the Garlic sauce!Not too salty and not super deep fried! Was super good! And they stay up later then most shops in Lihue! 🤙🏻 5 star for me 💙🌺“

“I love this place. It’s very close to my house and I get lunch there frequently. I like the grilled chicken sandwich. It’s very low key but a nice remnant of what Kauai used to be like. The food is good but to a mainland person it might seem pricey; however there’s basically no place here that you can eat for under $20 per person.
If you can, call your order in ahead of time to avoid the 15 minute wait while they make your order fresh.
As a local, I’d recommend checking it out.“

“One of the only restaurants(if not THE only restaurant) that is a must eat during return visits to Hawaii. Really wish there were locations in our area.“

“Wife and I stumbled into this spot inside a bar and had no idea what to expect. We make it a point to try burgers everywhere we travel, and we’ve covered just about everything back home, so we know a good one when we see it. Smitty’s delivered.

Burger was cooked right, great flavor, and didn’t fall apart halfway through. The cook, who may have been Smitty himself, was super chill and actually took the time to talk through how he does his burgers without acting bothered.

30 minute drive from our hotel and easily worth it. This one stands out.

Waffle fries were crispy and not greasy!“

“I stopped by here for a quick bite when I was on the road and it did the trick perfectly. The order was accurate, the fries were nice and hot, and the dining area was kept pretty clean during my visit. It is a solid choice when you need something fast and consistent that you know you can rely on.“

“friendly service nice atmosphere“

“Awesome food! Service was great and the 2 neighborhood dogs were so sweet!“

“This place was highly recommended by my patient that was part of a Facebook Group that posted about this place a lot and they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It was good and the service was fantastic, but not so good that we made a second stop on our trip. Their service was quick too, so it's a good stop if you only have a short time to eat! Their menu includes: Truffle Burger, Veggie Burger, Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Kenji Burger (teriyaki, ponzu aioli, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, tomato & arugula), Misoyaki Fish Sandwich, Salads, Sushi Burritos & Bowls (loco moco, chicken katsu, misoyaki fish, and poke). There are 2 locations on the island“

“Best local place that's in the corner of industrial bldg. and the food is really good. I suggest all visitors and locals if you haven't gone there "GO" but bring cash to pay you won't be disappointed if seeking flavorful foods. Oh the sweets get some they are so delicious too :)“

“McDonald’s Lihue ,HI Serve good quality food ,we serve just cook I’m the one crew w/In six years I love this job but most off all cleanliness we follow the rules for the safe of costumers n us as workers“

“Our bartender, Amanda, was top notch! We ate there a couple times and thought the food was great too.“
