    Unfortunately , I have to revise this opinion. After several times ordering the burger there, we went yesterday and they are now using pre-formed, commercial patties instead of the hand made ones. Makes the burgers flat and dry. This really bums me out.

      Hmmmm. I thought I answered to this thread but after checking, I didn't. So, here's my 2cents of where the best cheeseburgers are at!

      Uptown Cafe on School Street

      Janes Fountain on Liliha Steet

      and I also enjoy the Cheeseburgers at Byrons Drive Inn.

        Some of the other burgers at McDonalds and Burger King are okay but I rarely go to them.

        The burgers from the local places are okay if you like to pay higher prices for it.

          I personally like Like Like Drive Inn's Burgers. I loved the type of patty that they make.

            Crap, I love to eat homemade style burgers, but I don't eat them if they have little onions mixed in with the meat. I just can't do it...but that's usually how most burgers are with the exception of national chains. I need to find a place that serves good burgers with no onions in 'em.

                I'd seen Carl's Jr. all over Southern California when I worked in LA, but never went to one. Finally got to the one at the Pearlridge Uptown Food Court a month or so ago, and it's pretty good. The best offering it has might be the deep fried zucchini slices, though; I've never seen a fast food franchise offer those.

                  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.
                  Took a overnight trip to Kauai recently and had lunch at Bubba's in Hanalei. Long lines and slow service, but a really good burger.

                    First of all, I must say thanks for everyone for their posts. Even though I didn't start the thread, it has been very helpful with a project we worked on throughout the summer.

                      I like the Koko Burger at Koko cafe in the Hale Koa. Delicious! Especially delivered by room service after a long, wonderful day in Paradise.

                        Re: Hawaii's Best Hamburger? Where?

                        Here's my picks...
                        • Pepperjack Cheese Burger - Matters of Taste, Gentry Center on Nimitz
                        (Fantastic hand-made char-grilled delight, served with a pickle and carrot stick)
                        • Beachside Burger with Pepperjack Cheese - Duke's Barefoot Bar, Waikiki
                        (Another char-grilled delight. Tasty onion roll bun. And their Beachside waffle-cut fries are da' best... Plus a beachfront view to boot!)
                        • Swiss N' Shroom Burger - Shack Hawaii Kai (I don't consider them a "national chain)
                        (Excellent char-grilled flavor, and sitting on the marina with this and a side of their curly fries is next to heaven on earth)
                        • Magic Mushroom Burger - Big City Diner
                        (Can you tell I like mushroom burgers? Nice ambiance, and skin-on fries are ono!)
                        • Char-Grill Burger - Jameson's Haleiwa
                        (Hand-pattied delight, nicely char-grilled with an onion bun, and excellent waffle cut fries)

                        Most of these picks are in the $6-9 range including the fries. Sorry, pretty tough finding a local spot in a prime location under that price.

                        Does anyone remember BURGERLAND on Monsarrat? It's now Diamond Head Grill and Market. They had the best tasting local style burgers!

                          Very cool. Who would've thought eating hamburgers would be so much work? Some unexpected findings, too.

                          I have to admit, I was someone who propagated the mythology of the Kua 'Aina burger, and I probably still like 'em better than I should. But I totally agree on the Kulia Grill award. Even pre-prepared, wrapped and waiting, they're absolutely delicious - great from the bread to the moistness of the meat to the complimentary choice in cheese (I always get the cheeseburger). And those "experimental" chips blow Kua `Aina's soggy nest of potato strings away.

                          I've been hearing a lot about Nico's lately. Guess that means I'll have to make a special effort to check 'em out, for both the seafood and the burger!

                            Kulia Grill.. hmmm, what a find!

                            Can't beat the price, location and quality of ingredients, according to the HawaiiDiner.com write-up.

                            I'm determined to have lunch there some time this week! Will post about it after.

                            How ironic also, as I just started a thread about the new JABSOM center.

                            More and more I'll have to "eat" my words.

                              i'm not a big cheeseburger fan but i can vouch for the chips: excellent!

                              thanks for the link to the story; talked to carol (the manager) today and she hasn't seen the story yet. she's one super nice lady: she works really long hours, always has a smile on her face, and goes out of her way to be helpful.

                                The news of Hawaii's best burger is getting around! On the KHON morning news today, Manolo Morales chose Kulia Grill as his spot for his food segment, and he specifically highlighted its winning of HawaiiDiner.com's "Burger Wars" project. He even ordered the chips because glossyp specifically recommended it.

                                Congrats on the TV mention, and definitely kudos to the Kulia Grill folks. The praise is well-deserved for such great, thoughtfully prepared food.
