50 Best Burger Restaurants near Waimanalo

“The reason we went to Jack in the box is because, on 1st year anniversary, we were to Hawaii and we spent all of our money and the only thing you can afford for the last day, was he Jack in the box. So we decided to go back again for a 30th anniversary. I still love the tacos.“

“Good breakfast special but needs to add black tea to menu“

“What a great burger!! We were so lucky to find them, they’re in almost hidden spot. The order their arugula burger, but I added mushroom to it, it was unreal.
The amount of meat that you get is so good. She was even mindful of my pregnancy, and though I forgot to tell her go for fully cooked she came out and asked me how I would like the Patty to be cooked.“

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“We Had the best experience with Marky she is so uplifting very personable love that she is who she is absolutely amazing ty for a special great time love you all“

“South Shore Grill has been part of my routine for close to 20 years. It’s a family‑run business with a lot of heart, and I’ve watched the owners’ kids grow up working behind the counter. The food is consistently good, the prices are fair, and there’s a great variety to choose from. It’s an easy stop before the beach or park, or the perfect place to refuel after a day in the surf. My go‑to is always the fish burrito. The cajun seasoning and macnut pesto are always on point. Truly one of those local spots that feels like part of the community.“

“Service was great, very friendly. Burgers and fries are very simple but tasty! I crave this place from time to time and try to make it out here at least once a month. Been very lucky with the parking lately so I’ve actually been coming more often. Treat yourself to a one of a kind burger experience right here in China Town!“

“Delicious pineapple burgers and more. Friendly staff and nice seating outside. The occasional birds were a quiet addition (audition… for food). When craving a juicy burger, this is your place. Fries come in several flavor options such as BBQ or salt.“

“Savannah is by far the best server she is very personable and very attentive to our drinks. The food was good and very affordable.“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“I love this place! They serve burgers until 3pm and I wish they’d go all night! Easily the best burger on island. Soft, warm brioche buns and flavorful patties and sauces. Always hot 👍🏼 and yummy. My boyfriend says it’s one of the best burgers he’s ever had in his life and I agree. I enjoy both takeout and dine in :)“

“Great place for old school drive-in style burgers. Surprisingly good deserts. No real dining area, just a small area to stand and eat if you want to. The patties have a secret seasoning that makes them tasty. Always stop by when I am on this side.“

“Delicious! The locations in CA are slowly closing and we never even considered looking on Oahu but it popped up when we searched for a burger place and drove straight here. The food is great. We love the parm fries and chili fries (without onion). We also love that you can completely build your own burger. It's so customizable and perfectly for us. Highly recommend The Counter. Please stay open until we return next year!!“

“Burgers are so good!! Love that it uses fresh ingredients. Good customer service, I highly recommended this place .“

“This is literally the fastest I’ve put up a review and I don’t even review places, but the double burgers my husband and I received were the best burgers I’ve had in a very long time!!! It was so so good and deserves more than 5 stars!!! Will definitely get again and 10/10 would recommend!“

“Superior classic burgers, great fries, friendly staff and wonderfully nostalgic setting. Highly recommend!!! 🙌🏼“

“A burger from the heart . Blue cheese and the Teriyaki burger were awesome… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We ate here twice. The second time with a group of 12. They have limited seating and request that people order first and wait to be seated. People obviously cannot read. The staff did a great job seating us despite the complications and were effective getting our food to us.

Our group tried swordfish, fish and chips, several shrimps, catch of the day and steaks and all the food was very good.“

“Used to be a pool hall bar back in the day called Amy's Place. What an interior transformation! Cool to have a vintage tavern in the throngs of Honolulu! We went for Sunday Brunch...the menu is extensive. We are picky eaters. It is rare we had so many items we liked on the menu. We had the lamb sandwich and the crab cake benedict. Both were delicious. So were the roasted potatoes and French fries! We love to eat and have tried nearly every restaurant in the Chinatown/downtown neighborhood. There are few we return to. We will be back and soon. Last but certainly not least the service was wonderful. Sophia has a lovely demeanor and met all our needs.“

“Bikini burger was a perfect fit after a long day of vacation. Fresh, hot juicy burger that comes with seasoned fries. We also got the salad and loved the toppings (pickle, tomato, dressing). Simple but delicious. The uniquely fried Oreos were a fun dessert. My son loved them.“

“LOVED the burgers!! So delicious. Perfectly cooked, delicious toppings with a ton of choices! The onion rings were battered and cooked perfectly. The fries were delicious. Huge portions, you will definitely leave stuffed! Highly recommend this place. Great service and food was served within a very reasonable amount of time. Definitely served fresh off the grill!“

“Burger was just what I needed!“

“very filling. yum. like the salmon bowl.“

“First time in Hawaii but Buzzes is a great restaurant that has great food and drinks. The staff is outstanding the are really nice and caring for there customers. I will definitely come back to buzzes. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that comes and visits that ms never been to Hawaii.“

“Originally recommended to me by my former boss, Island Sub is a classic, no-nonsense spot. I have to confess: in my opinion, they have the absolute best onion rings in Hawaii. They don't make them from scratch—they are pre-cooked, frozen, and shipped—but whatever they do in the kitchen to fry them makes them unbeatable. Hands down, the best.
​
While I've tried a few different items over the years, my absolute go-to is the Meatball Sub. I usually order the half size, but this time I treated myself to the full. It’s a beautifully simple combination of tomato sauce, melted cheese, and meatballs, and I’ve never had a single complaint about it.
​
It’s a wonderful family-owned business where the husband holds down the kitchen and the wife manages the front of the house. They’ve been running it this way since well before COVID. The restaurant itself hasn't changed at all in the ten years I've been visiting, even though the surrounding strip mall has undergone some modern renovations. The interior does look a little run-down and dated, but that's alright—I usually take my food back to the office rather than dining in anyway.
​
If you can look past the older interior, the food speaks for itself. I will absolutely keep coming back for that awesome meatball sub and those legendary onion rings.“

“Our fave restaurant in Waikiki. We ate here on our first night, had our first American Thanksgiving here & made sure we came back on our final night. Food & service was amazing every time!“

“My husband and I ate lunch here on our anniversary after shark diving. It was delicious! We sat at the bar with Steve and really enjoyed the conversation and his recommendations for food! 😋 Probably the best burgers we’ve had in a long time!“

“Overload Burger lives up to its name — a delicious, generously loaded burger that hits the spot. Juicy patty, great toppings, and just the right amount of messy. Perfect for when you're craving something hearty and satisfying. Definitely recommend!“

“One of the better Hard Rock Cafes I've eaten at. Our party ordered a burger and a couple fajitas. Food was served quickly and was very tasty. Prices were reasonable by Waikīkī standards, felt we got good value. Decor was engaging, particularly the wave of guitars sculpture. Would eat here again.“

“Good $$ and the burger was good“

“Great location. Excellent food and wonderful beer / wine. Neil is fantastic. Love this place!“

“The best food and value for your money. Coming from NY we headed straight here for their box lunches. They did not disappoint, be sure to drop by and be prepared to eat well.“

“I stopped by Teddy’s Bigger Burgers recently because I was craving something easy but substantial. The atmosphere definitely has that typical fast food restaurant feel where you just grab a seat and wait for your number, but the food itself is on a completely different level than a standard chain. It is a great spot for when you are in a rush but still want a meal that actually tastes like it was prepared with some effort.

The quality of the burgers is much better than what you would find at a traditional fast food joint. You can tell the meat is fresher and the portions are generous, staying true to the name. I usually just get a regular burger because the basic quality is so good, but they actually have a ton of different options for toppings and combos if you are looking for more variety. It is nice to have the choice to dress it up with specialty ingredients or just keep it simple.

The patty is always cooked well and seasoned properly, and the bun doesn't get soggy, which is usually my biggest complaint with quick-service burgers. It is a very straightforward experience without any unnecessary bells and whistles. You get your food quickly, it tastes great, and it fills you up. The fries are also worth mentioning because they have a good crunch to them and aren't just limp or overly salty. For anyone looking for a high-quality burger in a casual, quick environment, this place hits the mark perfectly. Its a reliable pick for a quick lunch or a low-key dinner when I don't feel like dealing with a full-service restaurant.“

“Grest food and excellent staff“

“Burgers with a twist and it tastes good. Price is worth it. Whenever we will be in Honolulu, Teddy’s will definitely be one of our dining places to go to. 😋“

“I had the cheeseburger and added bacon. It was so good almost as good as Teddy’s.“

“the new impossible burger!! read the patty..lol...it's no lower in fat, and like most meatless food it is high in sodium.. but for plant base it was yummy and worth the occasional bindge.“

“I grew up eating KC Waffle Dogs and was very happy to have a nostalgic meal after so many years of missing it! This place has a charming quaint atmosphere of a family kitchen and the staff are very friendly to match. You should check out this hidden gem.“

“the Teri chicken with cheese st8 🔥“

“Friendly service, great food, wide variety - always hot and fresh.“

“Going to Jane's Fountain felt like I traveled back in time to one of those old school diner places. On that day, I had the Hamburger Steak. It is one of the best on the island. My only complaint was that there was only one hamburger patty. I would definitely pay extra for the 2nd patty.“

“WOW 🔥
I did not know what to expect, but after I tried it my tastebuds were having a party. I couldn’t recommend this to anyone. This is a great spot, whether you want quick bite or a complete meal this is the spot to get it. I am surprised not more people know about this place, if you are in the area this is a must. I am definitely going back, mouth watering thinking about it. THANK YOU! 🤙“

“I have been shopping there for many years and love the selection of vendors that are there. We can almost always find what we are looking for including gifts from local artists and made quite a few friends with some of the vendors. There is something for everyone. Also I recently became a vendor myself.“

“Good for working and Drinking“

“Impressed by Pan's Kitchen yesterday! I ordered the fresh grilled ahi, and let me tell you, it was incredible. With the first bite you could tell just how fresh it was - perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Just a heads up, there might be small hard time understanding sometimes due to the owner's accent. But be patient, communication works out, and the food is absolutely worth it. Parking can be tricky - it's one of those places we only go to when we see a spot open. We got lucky yesterday with an empty space, but two trucks swooped in as soon as we pulled in! Despite the potential parking hassle, Pan's Kitchen is a hidden gem. Highly recommend it for the incredible ahi (and hopefully a parking spot)!“

“Aloha....ALWAYS GREAT SERVICE, GRINDS & ALOHA. Portions are more than adequate & ONOLICIOUS🤙🤙🤙🤙“

“The most amazing food! Poke nachos were to die for and went perfectly with the coconut mojito. Ate here two nights in a row and will probably be back one more time before leaving!“

“best breakfast sandwiches and French toast I ever had! Ono af“

“I and a couple of other retirees discovered Pur Sina when they opened and have been weekly customers ever since. Their small kitchen limits the menu choices, but what they offer is tasty and reasonably priced. The pleasant customer-oriented staff has made it serve as a home away from home for us, and we have always felt welcomed. If/when they leave, they will be sorely missed.“

“If you haven’t been, go! The food is surprisingly broke da mouth ono. Soon to be Lava Bar & Grill and they’re killin’ it. Great staff (Stephen’s the man), corn hole, pool, and live singers! Under the radar local spot that you need to check out. And get the bread pudding bites! (And the poke bowl). (And the chicago dog). (And the philly sandwich). Can’t go wrong.“
