Pro Tips
- 1.Visit during off-peak hours (2-4pm) to avoid the lunch and dinner rush, as seating can fill up quickly in this popular spot
- 2.Build-your-own burgers can add up quickly,stick to the kids' menu for younger children to keep costs reasonable
- 3.Come with an appetite: the burgers are truly 'bigger' as advertised, so consider sharing sides or getting one less meal than usual
- 4.Grab extra napkins at the counter,these are deliciously messy burgers that kids will love diving into
- 5.Order the shakes to share; they're thick, generous, and a hit with kids, but one often satisfies two children
Best Time to Visit
Weekday afternoons between 2-4pm are ideal to avoid crowds. Lunch (11am-1pm) and dinner (5-7pm) can get packed with tourists and locals alike. Early dinners around 4:30pm work well for families with young kids.
What to Know
Expect to spend around $12-15 per person with burgers, fries, and drinks. Parking can be challenging in Waikiki, so consider walking from your hotel or using nearby public lots on Kapahulu Avenue. It's a casual counter-service restaurant, so order at the register and grab your own seats.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round with consistent hours. Peak tourist seasons (summer and December-March) mean longer waits, especially during typical meal times. No seasonal menu changes, so your kids can count on their favorites any time of year.
