They had the sweetest gals working there! Customer service was really top tier. I had the fresh fish tacos and was 100% satisfied with portions, flavors, and price. My husband got a burger and fries, also super tasty! I have to say some of the best French fries I’ve had and the burger bun was so soft and fluffy. Super yummy all the way around! I can’t wait to go back!

Cute place, nice decor, wonderful amazing staff from the second you walk in to the moment you walk out. We were greeted by a very friendly lady at the register where you ordered. She had recommendations and was a delight to talk to. They offered to fill all our water bottles and were great start to finish. We ordered market fresh fish tacos (ahi), two original burgers, one original double burger, and house pickles.

We got the original island tacos and they were AMAZING! You can swap out corn tortilla for flour, but we didn’t. The fish wasn’t small at all! I was surprised how full the taco was. Staff was really friendly and even remembered some of our family from almost a year ago when they visited the island!

Everyone says they have the best burger… this place really does. Super yummy bacon cheeseburger and the fries were hot and crispy. The onion rings were good but you dont get very many. The ranch dressing is home made. The ‘dining hall’ is cool. Enjoyed it all.

Went out of way to try this place because I saw good Google reviews. I was very interested in trying their vegetarian options however this place was closed and the owners were in waiting for soda delivery. Had a chance to speak to them, wonderful people, they shared the challenges of finding human resources causing reduced operating hours. They said they are open the next day and asked to stop by the next day. We were obviously not planning to be in that area the next day however our plans derailed and we had another chance to visit this place. The very next day, sadly they were closed again. Wishing this restaurant lots of good luck and hopefully they find resources to remain open and serve visitors like me. 🙂

All of the staff were super friendly and accommodating. We came in during a rush and were seated quickly and our food placed in front of us shortly after. We had the fresh fish tacos which were incredible (highly recommend with garlic aoli) with a nice ocean breeze. Staff deserves big tips! They are great and food was amazing

True to their name, these folks specialize in burgers and tacos. Good fries and onion rings. Excellent shakes, and they got that Dole Whip! It ain’t fancy, but it is funky. Seats are farm tables (family style) so know that if you like privacy.

Delicious! I got their original double but a single version of it, seriously one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while. Chocolate frosty was yummy too

Wife and I had there beef tacos with rice and beans. Was amazing. Soooo, flavorful! Sorry no pics of food, I was hungry and the food was so good it didnt last long on my plate. Prices are spot on, (compared to the high prices resort food) and the lady(maybe owner) taking our order is a sweetheart. Even sat with us for a bit. This place really brought me back to my childhood with the comics and old school candy in front of the shop. Will be on my stops when I am back on the big Island.
