        Well, now we have a "Cheeseburger Factory" at UH-Manoa. I haven't tried it yet, still baffled about whether to try it or:

        Yummy Korean B-B-Q
        Lahaina Chicken Company
        Mama's Spaghetti House
        Bear's Drive-Inn

        All of which, along with Papa John's pizza, have opened recently at UHM.

            Helen asked:

            "So where on UH are these new places?"

            In the "Yummy Food Court" at Campus Center. (I had no idea Yummy Korean B-B-Q owned all those franchises, hardly would associate Korean B-B-Q with Mama's Spaghetti).

            As for the burger from their Cheeseburger Factory, I'd say on a par with a Jumbo Jack, but more than twice as expensive.

              Speaking of burgers.....

              I remember that there was once a place
              that makes really cool burgers...
              but they are vegy burgers with the works...
              you couldn't even tell. They tasted like real burgers.
              They use to be in the Aloha Tower at the food court,
              long time ago. Does any one remember that place?
              (I forgot the name of the place.)
              What happened to them?
              Did they close their business altogether or
              did they actually move?
              Aches & Pains
              (through out our lives) knows no time!!.

The price variation between low-end and high-end is definitely easier to take than in, say, sushi, or wine.
                I think the Kobe burger which is available on the mainland runs for about $50.

                  Kobe beef itself is expensive! I once saw Kobe beef in Japan...ridiculous prices!
                  Meat in Japan is very marbled...guess the Japanese enjoy their meat with fat!

                    MO'S Burger is still around in Waikiki, however the Burger King that used to be near it closed down. Alot of BK's have closed down in recent years.

                      Had a couple of cheeseburgers from L&L Drive In today. $5 for the burgers and a small cup of soda.

                        Okay, I'm digging up this old thread looking for fresh input. The usual suspects of Kua Aina and Teddy's have been named but what are other places (no national chains please since that thread is already going) that serve excellent, inexpensive ($6 or less) burgers? Maybe it's not their speciality but they do a good job. My current vote is for the double cheeseburger at Nico's $5.75 including fries - and it's an excellent burger.

                          Where abouts is Nico's?

                          The cheesburger at the Pineapple Room aka Alan Wongs at Ala Moana is expensive but tastes pretty good.

                          Wish we had a Fuddruckers here. I understand a Cheesburger Factory opened up at Ala Moana recently.

                            Nico's is at Pier 38. From Nimitz turn makai at the New Eagle Cafe/old Xerox building intersection. It's in the Pacific Ocean warehouse just before the fish auction house.

                            edited to add: You're right about the Cheeseburger Factory at Ala Moana, it's in the food court. Has anyone tried it yet?

                              I tried the Cheeseburger Factory at the Ala Moana Food Court last week, stay away from the onion rings. The burger wasn't that bad.
