    Friendly service. Grandson wanted to eat at a burger place when I said I'd treat them out for his birthday since we would be off island on his actual day. Pretty cashier set up 3 tables for us. Perfect spot with 4 upright fans facing us. The menu is on their right wall. No ice today for the drinks. The kiddies and their mom had shakes, I had a bottled water and couple sodas for the dads. Four had smash burgers and Sweetie ordered from the kids menu: chicken fingers and fries. I had a teriyaki chicken burger and shared onion rings with hubs. There also was a fries to share on the table. Decorated like a 50s diner with Elvis and Betty Boop. On one mural there was a beach van and Sweetie said it reminded her of Outer Banks. Small glitches like wrong orders brought out for one of the sandwiches and a drink size. I wish they had plastic knives to cut your sandwich in half. Busy business on Saturday at lunch time.

    One of our favorite burger spots. We haven't been here in a while and burgers are just what we remember. My Jam: Double Bacon Deluxe Burger with a side of teriyaki sauce. It's a massive half pound burger with bacon, cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles with the Betty's sauce. Then top it with the teriyaki sauce and umami bomb. The fries are very good too, but took the review a notch down on this occasion. We ordered extra crispy, but it wasn't that crispy. We remembered the large being overloaded in the bag, but now it's not as much. They have parking in the back with I believe up to 1 hour free. Then entrance is right after Betty's. The staff is always friendly and food ready when we call in our orders. Just an fyi, if you are dining in, it's open air and fans only, no ac.

    Smash burgers are served here. From the pictures in the reviews we weren't expecting these. IMHO I wish the Smash burgers would go away and we'd get back to the good old fashioned fat burgers. Anyway, this place is a bit off the beaten path in a little back small food court alley. You walk up, place your order, get called to pick it up at the window and bus it yourself. I heard another man ask about a restroom and was told there is none for men, only womwn, and he'd have to walk to Starbucks (wherever that is!). Burger was ok, fries were pretty much steak fries size and were good and the onion rings were just OK. It's in a covered area with ceiling fans sporadically placed so it can get warm while you're eating

    I came here again, no notes look at my past reviews. I love it here and it hits EVERYTIME. I would not recommend ordering for pick up/ to go as much tho, due to my previous negative experience.

    I didn't get a chance to snap a picture of my food. But I got the teriyaki burger, and would highly suggest it! Everyone working there was happy to see anyone walk in, and very pleasant overall. I loved the small town, ma and pop fell to the place, keeping this on my list to come back

    First time eating at Betty's Burger joint. Came with a good friend of mine who says this is his favorite burger joint. I ordered the blue cheese and bacon burger and the patty was cooked too perfection. Loads of blue cheese and top with two strips of crispy bacon. Had it with some onion rings and it was a perfect pairing. Service was a great and the food came out nice and hot just off the grill. This is a small restaurant and probably only seats about 20 people and they do get busy. We came off hours and I would suggest you do the same. If you're in the mood for a old time burger Betty's burger joint is your place.

    In case anyone wonders, I did show her this photo and she cheerfully agreed I could use it on Yelp.

    I've been wanting to try Betty's Burger Joint for a while, but waited for the right opportunity. Yesterday, my wife said she was craving a burger and asked if I could pick some up at the nearby burger place the next day for lunch. I knew which one she meant, but suggested Betty's instead, since we hadn't tried it before. She agreed. I began describing the options to her, and when I mentioned "spicy," she decided on that one. This morning, I suggested ordering three different kinds and splitting them, which sounded good to her. I've seen the outside numerous times, but had never gone in before. I walked in, looked around, and was greeted by a pleasant, welcoming face behind the counter. I had made a list before arriving, so after confirming that the numbering was the same, I ordered #3, #10, and #11 to go: 3. Betty's Deluxe with Cheese 10. Shroom and Guac 11. Betty's Spicy Burger As I waited for my order, I consciously focused on what I had read in a couple of reviews about the place being hot. I say "consciously" because I usually don't pay much attention to temperature unless it's extreme. I noted that it was a bit warm, though there was also a cool breeze moving through the room. After a few minutes, the gentleman handing out the orders called my name and came directly to me with the bag. I hurried home knowing my wife was waiting for lunch. We cut each sandwich in half, and I pointed out the spicy one to my wife. She tasted it and remarked that it was just a little spicy, but that it tasted good anyway. After finishing that one, she tried the Shroom and Guac but didn't like the taste. By then, she was too full to try the Deluxe with Cheese, so I ended up tasting everything and finishing the rest. For me, the Shroom and Guac was a little too mushy, making it hard to pick out the taste and texture of the mushrooms. The Spicy Burger was okay, but it seemed that the only thing making it spicy was a few slices of jalapenos. I liked the Deluxe with Cheese the best and would order it again when I'm in the mood for a burger from Betty's. Overall a positive experience.

    Coming from SoCal, the smashburger capital, I thought Betty's was aight. I thought the retro diner design was unique and fun, and they have a big menu. I just got their simple hamburger and the patty was on the saltier side but tasted good with the soft bun. I also thought it was so adorable how they draw their own designs on the paper bag they give! Makes for a personalized keepsake.

    I didn't have high expectations coming here. It was a spur of the moment type of thing only because my husband didn't want The Daley and I wasn't in the mood to wait a long time at Chubbies. So we took a chance with Betty's and I'm so glad we did! I was a little overwhelmed with their menu, but as soon as I saw "Spicy," I knew exactly what I wanted to order. When we received our food, I was taken back at how crunchy both the onion rings and fries were! And that burger was so simple and so delicious, that I bragged to my husband that I'd rather come here from now on! It's so good! We got: 2 Betty's Spicy Burgers 2 Cheeseburgers 1 Single bacon cheeseburger 1 Double bacon cheeseburger delux 4 large fries 2 onion rings 3 drinks and 4 milk shakes

    Surprised I did not already review Betty's Burgers. We got take out during Covid and I loved their food. Fast forward to a couple days ago when I had a hamburger at another place and it was so bad (they mixed the meat with something to stretch it) I craved a real hamburger. So yesterday we stopped by. I got a bacon cheeseburger deluxe, small order of fries, and order of onion rings. Just for me. And ate most of the French fries on our drive home they were so good. I didn't order the double cheeseburger since I'm trying to limit my meat and the sandwich was still huge and satisfying. I did not make any changes to the order even though it had sauce and pickles but they all added to the taste. They also grilled the bun which was nice. I usually will only eat half a burger and save the rest for later but I ate the burger, finished the fries and the onion rings. It's not cheap, surprised that it set me back over $20 but it was totally worth it and I can't wait to go back to get more of those French fries. I ordered it to take out and went over and did a little shopping at Nijiya and it was ready when I came back. There is parking behind, just look for a small driveway. They give you one hour free parking.

    Saw this place online and decided to walk from our hotel to try it, very close by Waikiki! We got the spicy burger and the chicken teriyaki burger along with a small order of fries. For the reasonable prices it's a good spot. The spicy burger was okay it lacked of flavor and was loaded with pickled jalapeños hence the "spicy" but I'd rather just get a regular double cheeseburger next time. The chicken teriyaki burger was great probably one of the favorites. Fries were a huge portion and large which was great and delicious! We asked for sauce and we got the Betty's sauce and we loved i

    A small burger place in the heart of uh student country in pucks alley (small odd and old stripmall but known as business center) It sits on the outside streetside of the complex. It definetely fits the part of a college kid hangout with outside patio seating on the sidewalk and a hip surfer chilll vibe inside... Be warned ! There is no Ac inside!! heat from the kitchen can definetely be felt...they have a few fans to blow around said hot air but not a cool place to dine in unless outside ambient temp is on the cool side with breeze....Outside patio seating is alot cooler in temp and vibe. Menu is mainly burgers fries and shakes. Portions is decent and price is manageable...I got the bacon cheese burger...I honestly could barely taste the bacon and the burger seemed to be lacking seasoning.... maybe was an off day..in any case worth a visit and maybe a return. Visit as well..

    We were in the mood for a smash burger. Haven't been here before but this place got good reviews. Super glad we came! Free parking through the alley behind the building, dog friendly, and courteous staff. It's got a 1960's burger/ surf shack vibe and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend.

    This little gem is in the heart of Waikiki. Honestly I just randomly stumbled upon it, and thought…read moreto myself why not? I love trying new things so let's go ahead and give it a try. I know what you're thinking, grilled cheese ? Seriously ? Out of the food in Hawaii this is one thing you choose to try for dinner ? And I would say yes every time. This grilled cheese has a special place in my food palette. I have not found another grilled cheese anywhere else in all the places I have been at that replicates this delicious flavor and taste. It was so good that I end up coming back for 4 days straight my stay in Hawaii ! I had the following below: *PATTY - 5/5 - It is the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life ! It has a nice tasty beef patty, 4 cheeses (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, American) Caramelized onions, Bacon and Aioli sauce ! It was boasting with flavor ! Bread was soft, cheeses were boasting with flavor, aioli sauce was amazing. I really wish i paired this with their tomato dip ! I can only imagine how much this would've complimented the grilled cheese. The service was exceptional ! The establishment is a small so be sure to eat this on the go or they have small tables set up if you'd like to eat there !

    This place was amazing! I've never had a better grilled cheese sandwich. We ordered the Aloha…read moresandwich and a classic grilled cheese with jalapeños and onions, and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches came out quickly, were perfectly toasted, and had so much gooey, melted cheese. All of the toppings worked really well together and made every bite flavorful. Another big plus is that this was one of the few places open late at night, which made it a great option after a long day. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to find an open table since there's limited seating. Other than that, I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it!

She made us feel genuinely welcomed, took great care of us throughout our meal, and was quick, attentive, and friendly the entire time. Her excellent service made an already enjoyable visit even better. The food was fantastic. The burger was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly, while the fries were extra crispy with a delicious garlic flavor that really stood out. Since it's an open-air restaurant, it was a little warm dining at around 1:00 p.m., but that was the only minor downside. Overall, everything was lovely, and Christine's outstanding hospitality made the experience memorable. I would definitely come back!

I ordered a Waimea burger which has two patties, cheese, sauteed onions, and bacon. It was good and came with some nice crispy fries. Deb ordered a child's meal with two little sliders and fries. We sat facing Kuhio and watched all the different people walking by. It was all very fun because some of them were funny to watch! It's interesting how some of the tourists will not venture outside of Waikiki and would only do so on a tour. Banzai does have some really cold Coronas, so I suggest coming here, sitting back, and watch the world go by! Mahalo Banzai!

I didn't expect much from this small corner diner, but everything turned out real solid! The exterior is especially entrancing, with its bright, rainbow neon sign that glows out the darkness of the night! The hooded interior was clean and followed well with the rainbow theme, especially with its rainbow pastel, title wallpaper. I would also like to compliment the workers, who were very nice and approachable! We ordered the loco moco plate, mixed plate, and saimin. Both plates were very filling and came in huge portions! The plates are for sure a top choice if you want a nice, hearty dinner! I especially enjoyed my loco moco! The saimin was less filling and came in an instant noodle cup. Still yet, it wasn't half bad--and it actually seems like a fairly good piece if you are on a diet or budget; it wasn't as expensive as the other dishes and only came out as 220 calories! I also want to note that they have a variety of tasty dessert pastries and icee treats if you are looking for a treat after your dinner.

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.
