Fantastic joint. Build your own Burger , tons of great choices, one of the best burgers I've ever had, and just a great looking place. Seventeen thumbs up!

Alyssa Grace

Splitting a burger is a nice lunch for two. I miss the $9 burger prices though. Now I'm forced to get fries and pay $13. ;( oh counter, how you've changed in the mere five months that I've been gone.

Popular hamburger restaurant in Kahala. Full order can make you perfect choice of the ingredients. You can also order favorite shake from menu like hamburger .

Skip soda , and order the chocolate shake . It's Dreyer's vanilla-bean ice cream blended with Foxes U-Bet original chocolate syrup . You'll have to eat it with a spoon. Featured in our Restaurant Guide!

Happy hour . 4-6:30pm. Brussels sprouts , Buffalo cauliflower , and fried zucchini .

I like the Sonoma Salad with pesto and a burger . It’s always cold here though, and the service can take a while.

MrD Bond

Really quite good: (veggie ) burgers without buns are a deal, and it does have a quite good bar . Only place in Kahala Mall to get worthwhile grinds (unless you really ARE a "Chili 's" person...)

Katherine Yannice

Get the order of half sweet potato fries and half regular fries , the portions are way bigger than if you were to buy them individually.

Koreankitkat

Get a side of turkey chili . Yum!

Kahuna Matata

Try the Fat Elvis Shake - It's a Fat Elvis bc I gots me a side of BACON w my Elvis Shake !! Oooh HEAVEN!!! Hunk of burnin LOVE!!

Alex Guerra

Awesome burgers ! Build your own and make sure you get fries . They are different. Good different!

Lena Sy

Try the Onion Strings - Yummy!! (via @Foodspotting)

Fran Hegar

The place is too expensive for what you are getting. Go if you want, but don't be surprised if they runout of the many toppings that they promise on their menu.

Eric Lindvall

Our favorite burgers on the island .

@WRXtacy

If you're a Loco Moco fan.. ask for the "off the menu " Loco Moco . It's easily one of my "Best Loco Moco " contenders.
