Chill music, the staff are chill af, and the food was fantastic. Specifically the shoestring fries with their specially aioli are AMAZING. I got a cheeseburger and it was the perfect amount of juicy. Super fragrant cheese and I could taste how fresh the veggies were. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews, but after talking to several locals, I was told I should share this. First time visiting Hawaii from California and I've loved everything--except this. I ordered their "Hawaiian Grass-Fed Prime" burger medium. It came out in 5-10 minutes, which was great. Unfortunately, it was extremely raw and undercooked. the guy who cooked it, tried convincing me it was normal. It's "Hawaiian grass fed prime beef bro, this is how we eat burgers in Hawaii." Welp, it's definitely not a steak my guy They offered to remake it, but by then I had completely lost my appetite. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, and if I was a health inspector, I'd close this down immediately read more

Big Island Burger - RAW/UNDERCOOKED BURGER - Burgers Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Located at Waikiki Shopping Plaza, Big Island Burger is a spot for tasty burgers and great service. I brought a friend here who was visiting, and he enjoyed his cheeseburger with tilamook cheese. I and my boyfriend had the cheeseburger with swiss cheese and it was great as well. The nice thing about Big Island Burger is that they locally source their ingredients. The tomato stood out to me because it was sweet and complemented the cheeseburger really well. I also appreciate the creamy aioli that came with the fries, it helped cut through the saltiness of the fries. Maybe next time I'll experiment and put the aioli on the burger! :D They offer 15% Kama'aina discount, so make sure to present your ID! read more

Great customer service, the young gentlemen who took our order was super friendly and professional. Food was flavorful and fresh. More on the pricier side but worth it. Would def recommend this place if you're looking for a burger read more

They have a few outdoor tables plus seating inside. Upbeat music. Order at the counter. It was about a 15 minute wait for the food when I was there. The burger was cooked as requested and there are good topping options (though they aren't cheap). The fries were great - seasoning was on point and it comes with a yummy aioli for dipping. FYI: They offer kama'aina discount! read more

I visited Big Island Burger on 9/12/2026 while vacationing in Waikiki. I tried the Cheeseburger with Tillamook Cheddar. The service was friendly and it was a short wait time for my food. (Note: Big Island Burger is actually located on Seaside Ave., between Kalakava Avenue & Kuhio Avenue.) read more

Big Island Burger delivered one of the best burgers I've had in a while. It was easily my favorite meal on my Hawaiian vacation. All of the ingredients are locally sourced, and it shows. The burger patties were thick and juicy, smothered in your choice of cheese. I had the double with Tillamook cheddar and pepperjack, their creamy aioli, and pickled jalepenos. I devoured the entire burger! My only regret it that I didn't go back another day for more! read more

Big Island Burger - Burgers Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Drawn in by the local ingredients and grass fed beef. We went with a double and some fries and shared it to make it more cost effective because the price tags are pretty high here. No restrooms inside, gotta use a code and go to the second floor of the neighboring food hall. We were quickly greeted as we entered the establishment. The lady at the counter also advised us that they cook the burgers to medium rare. The burger was delicious. Nice and juicy and flavorful. The fries were good as well, but definitely need to double the portion for the price. While we do appreciate the quality of food, this would be a place that would we would come as a special treat. I wont knock off any stars because I do understand that quality and location are a factor in pricing. read more

The big island beef tastes fresh and really good quality. I had a bunch of burgers in Waikiki and this was by far the best. The prices weren't bad and you have a lot of options on how you want to customize. The fries were all really good. read more

A little expensive but might genuinely be one of my favorite burgers OAT. I got the single ring of fire with caramelized onions. The meat had a nice crispy sear to perfection, and inside i asked for medium rare, it was so juicy. The chili sauce they put on it was fire too. AND the fries were really really good too. I wish I ordered a double burger and there were more fries. read more

Big Island Burger - The Ring of Fire, Big Island Beef Chili Cheese Fries, Cheeseburger with Swiss, Mushrooms, and Pineapple - Burgers Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Burgers were tasty, but overpriced. Due to being in the Waikiki area, i'm sure that everything is priced higher due to the tourism. However, the size of the burger does not quate to the amount charged. Not to mention that fries are charged separately, and the portion size again was small compared to the size. Glad they use beef tallow to fry them in, and use other locally sourced foods, but it sure is one expensive burger. read more

Fantastic! This is definitely not FAST food, but boy is it tasty! My wife got a Black Bean Burger and I got The Ring of Fire. Both were very tasty. Mine had a good amount of heat, so if you can't do a 4/5 at an Asian Restaurant, this may be a bit hot for you. I loved it! My wife's Black Bean was also very good. Fun and friendly service and indoor seating with lots of open airflow. read more

OVERALL: BEST burgers I've ever had! So fresh and juicy! FOOD: the patties are 100% organic and 100% beef and you can taste it in the flavor. The menu options are well balanced. The fries were a little too thin and crispy and I wasn't a fan of the aioli but it wasn't bad just not for me. VENUE: spacious with lots of seating options and the staff were friendly read more

Big Island Burger - Double cheeseburger with bacon and fries - Burgers Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Wow wow wow!!! This little hole the wall burger place is fantastic! After a long day food tasting local seafood, we were craving a big juicy burger and fries and this spot didn't disappoint in the slightest. The burgers are on the more expensive side but they're worth it. Thick juicy patties with your option of cheese and a variety of toppings. The fries are freshly hand cut and so tasty being made with thyme and parsley. The service is friendly and fast. It's a block up from the Main Street on Waikiki and a nice place to unwind from the day. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Restaurant is nice and clean, service was very friendly. Guy at the register took my order explained all the options and add ons and made small talk all while doing it. Food came out fast and was delicious. I come to Hawaii every other month for work and frequent the island quite a bit and this is the best burger I've had in Honolulu by far! read more

Cool place, love that the patties are grass-fed. Taste-wise nothing special. Couldn't actually tell it was smash style. It was a good meal, service was good, fun vibes. Fries are definitely overpriced for how much you get but tasty. Would give it a solid 3.5/5! read more

This was a miss for me. The bill for one salad with fish, added avocado and no drink plus tip was $38. I only learned after biting into my salad that the fish is served rare. I asked and she said that's what they recommend. At any rate, my bad for not asking. Sharing with others. The cost of the fish is mp - I neglected to ask. I definitely would not have ordered this had I learned to add fish it would be 13.99 as an add one. Any who! Might be for you. read more

I really, really wanted to like my food but something was off. I found myself chewing a lot more than normal. At first I thought it was the fries. But then I ate the burger by itself and it seemed to have bits of meat I couldn't chew. I don't know what you call it. I got the smashed burger so maybe that was the issue. The fries were a mixture of crunchy and too chewy. I'm not sure what happened. I sure hope it was just an off moment for them because I love that they support local farmers. I asked for their special burger sauce on the side and that sauce is actually amazing. read more

Ordered Takeout online. Automatically asks for tip, which we added... but shouldn't have bothered, and thankful we were staying next door, because my husband is picked it up. First trip picked up. Second trip over, had to get the salad dressing and Mac nuts not included. Third trip over, because the drink wasn't included... and given the excuse they don't see the drink orders for online orders... so they know they don't see them and hope you don't bother asking for it!?! Paid $2.99 extra for three thin slices of avocado that were half black. The good... the lemonade. My husband said the chili cheese fries were okay. Won't try again... was way too expensive for the lack of service, let alone mediocre food. read more

Made with locally sourced ingredients so you're supporting both a local business and local farmers. The burger was cooked to perfection, and I loved the homemade aioli sauce with the fries. They have outdoor seating. I will be back to try a grilled pineapple burger and the "catch of the day" fish burger. read more

We tried Big Island Burger at the recommendation of our son who found it online. We each ordered a burger and they were delicious. We are a huge fans of supporting local business and this place also supports local farmers and ranchers. The service was good. The place was clean and the food was delicious. My favorite might have been the lemonade which was exceptional. For those who do not like a messy burger, we'd recommend ordering just the bun and the patty and adding whatever toppings you like on your own I ordered just avocado and the combination was perfect. You'll see in the photos some of the burgers with the toppings as they come and get very wet and messy but definitely delicious. The fries were very good as well and we would recommend this place if you are in the mood for burgers. read more

Really good burgers here and the local mushrooms are a MUST if you like them. Be prepared to wait a bit because everything is made to order fresh but the service was still outstanding and the staff was kind and helpful. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking to try local ingredients but aren't that adventurous of an eater. These are familiar flavors but done with an island twist and using local ingredients! read more

Yes the burgers are expensive, it Hawaii and they are worth it. I don't remember when I've had a burger this good, well seasoned, the buns are great juicy burger cooked just right. I ordered mine with the grilled pineapple. Delicious and when I asked if I should order fries, the asst manager helped me he said of course. Glad we did because they are those perfect skinny fries with a little crunch and come with an aioli that works perfect and the fries were well seasoned. We are here all week and I bet the boys will want a burger too read more

I think Big Island Burger became my recent favorite burger place on Oahu. It located in the heart of Waikiki across Ross. They provide one hour validation at the parking Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Restaurant is clean and stylish. I love the Hawaiian style burger painting on the wall. Staffs are very friendly and efficient. I ordered one hamburger with fries and house-made lemonade. Lemonade (9/10) - have a balance of sweet and sour flavors. It helps digestion. Lol Hamburger (10/10) - the BEST burger! They used all the local ingredients from Hawaii. Very juicy and tender. Fresh made when you ordered. Fries (9/10) - Crunchy and fresh. The sauce is the bomb. Overall everything is perfect. They offer 15% for Kamaaina. The prices are little bit higher but since they're located in Waikiki and they provide local discount. Therefore, I'd highly recommend checking out this place. read more

I have to say the burger here is awesome had it with the sautéed onions and the fries wow! Cooked on the grill and fries in beef tallow really makes a difference, place is nice and clean all their ingredients come from local farmers. It takes a bit to get the burgers out at times but worth the wait, we went there 4 times on our 10 day trip! read more

Located on Seaside Ave between Kalakaua and Kuhio Ave. right across the street from Ross where there's lots of parking in the hotel next-door.

You can choose your burger to have one, two, or three patties. Great customer service, lots of seating options to choose from and delicious mouthwatering burgers. read more

So tasty I can't even describe it. Service is typical for a burger place, casual, clean, plenty of seating. Totally a hidden gem as the few times we went they weren't busy. Conveniently located as well. read more

My boyfriend and I checked out Big Island Burger for dinner. My boyfriend really liked his burger, but mine was just okay. I would have liked it if the burger itself had more sauce, as without it it was a little on the blander side. Aside from that, when I finished the my burger, there was a puddle of grease (not exaggerating when I say a puddle) was left in my plate from the burger. The amount of grease is one I've never seen before, and kind of grossed me out. The fries on the other hand were delicious and even better with the sauce that came with it! Overall, the burger place is okay and I would recommend trying it out if you're in the mood for a hamburger and in the area. read more

Best burger in town will try each time I come to Hawaii. Beef patty was amazing and also the fries were perfect to my liking

Stumbled across Big Island Burger while walking the strip in Waikiki and I'm so glad I did. I was beyond impressed with the hamburger and fries--they were packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality in everything from the meat to the fresh vegetables, and I love that they support local farmers. Honestly, it was the best hamburger and fries I've ever had. I'm a picky eater, but I ate it exactly the way it comes and didn't pick a single thing off. That says a lot! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Waikiki. The staff was also incredibly friendly and made the experience even better. read more
