    This is the quintessential burger processing mill ......... As you wait in line, it's quite apparent the regulars from the tourists (we're in that group). The staff was somewhat patient with this newbie - I finally got my order placed. It's good that we arrived early, this place can get busy and tables can be scarce. At our table was their chicken notice, see my pic. (BTW, the chickens are regulars and know the drill.) As you can see from my pic, these burgers are really cooked. They're okay. Our fried order was also okay, see my pic. The onion rings were large, as were the french fries - you'll need to salt to taste.

    Freak burgers soft bun. Yummy onion rings. Get the banana shake it's delicious. Service was pretty quick. Friendly service can sit inside or outside. Cute signs outside.

    Yes! Go here! Service is simple but kind. Food is delicious with no frills and yet unique flavor. Not a greasy burger joint but a very good local burger place worth stopping at.

    Bubba Burgers hit the spot! Burgers are tasty, fries were crisply, and onion rings when huge! Service was snappy! Nothing fancy, just a cool, family and friends place to enjoy great food and company!

    I was so excited, I forgot my camera was hungry!! LOL

    Very Tasty, Our favorite spot lunch so far being on Kaua'i for 5 days already! We will DEFINITELY be back before we head home! Very friendly staff and the restaurant was on smaller side but big considering most places are food trucks! We sat in a booth next to a window with an awesome breeze! Every spot outside was taken - so this place is for a HIT with the locals! The burgers come with basic which is just RIGHT for me. I appreciate that they prefer quality and making sure their customers are happy! Soooo YUMMY!

    The best burger on island, local grass-fed beef, fun lively atmosphere with outdoor seating and a view of the ocean! The manager, Ryan, was so nice.

    If you come to Kauai then a trip to Bubbas is required. It is just a good basic burger place. You may have to wait but the view is worth it. Enjoy

    Food was great. Like a much higher quality five guys burger. No need to add cheese. Meat quality is awesome and local. Add order of frings and eat road side. Loved it.

    Great place to sit inside with a view of the ocean and enjoy an amazingly juicy burger. That burger went down way too easy. Loved my teriyaki burger with pineapple. Expect messy goodness and one of the juiciest burgers ever. Fries are alright, nothing special. Enjoyed the banana shake. They use the small straws but with the warm weather is sucked up easy enough. We chose to sit on the deck facing the water. It's bench seating and we even met an adorable golden retriever on the dog friendly patio. Server was friendly and shared the place has been around over 30 years.

    Great burgers. Attitude is OK, but the food makes up for it. There are places to sit inside and out and it's a great place for good burgers.

    After hearing all the buzz and seeing Kenji Burger featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and…read moreDives, we had high expectations--and it absolutely delivered. We started with the Furikake Fries, which were packed with flavor and the perfect way to kick off the meal. For burgers, we ordered the Hapa Burger and the Kenji Burger, and both were outstanding. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were unique, and every bite lived up to the restaurant's reputation. The food was so good that we ended up ordering a Lobster Burrito as a second round just so we could try more of the menu. It was a great decision and did not disappoint. If you're looking for a spot that combines creative island-inspired flavors with high-quality ingredients, Kenji Burger is a must-visit. It definitely lived up to the hype.

    I ordered the chicken katsu burger, which reminded me a bit of a Nashville-style fried chicken…read moresandwich. The bun was soft and delicious, and the chicken itself was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The coleslaw on it really tied everything together and added a nice crunch and freshness. We also tried the truffle burger, and that one was the standout. It felt a bit more "fancy" than your typical burger, really rich and flavorful with melted cheese, arugula, etc. That one was easily the best item we had. The fries were crispy, golden, and well-seasoned, rounding out the meal nicely.

Popular menu items include ahi katsu 10/10, chili pepper chicken 9/10, and Hawaii's own- loco moco (not a huge fan in general). They offer a variety of other options, including poke, ramen, and sandwiches, with convenient takeout and delivery available. It's definitely a local favorite due to its generous portions, authentic Hawaiian cuisine and friendly service. We ordered the fried chicken and poke combo with wonton chips and the ahi katsu (my absolute fav). The ahi was fried to perfection- crispy on the outside while rare and tender on the inside. The sauce on the katsu was absolutely fire!!! So good! Macaroni salad was creamy and delicious. And the rice was perfect. Obviously, you cannot visit Hawaii without having some of their poke- always fresh and delightfully tasty. The marinade was savory and packed with flavor.

Its right off a main road and you cannot miss it. Parking lot was a bit small, but there was plenty of parking. AMBIANCE: When I went there was plenty of seating. A bit dead, but I also did go pretty early. There were a bunch of decor of older American pop culture like Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, etc. But also Hawaiian themed decor (obviously). SERVICE: You gotta walk up to the front to order. I was approached almost immediately as soon as I walked up to the menu on the screen. The girl working was super friendly and welcoming. I made my order and she gave me a pager for when my food was ready. FOOD: I ordered the chili pepper chicken, which was recommended from the girl at the counter. My friend ordered the ahi katsu. The chili pepper chicken was good! It was crispy and extremely flavorful. It was slightly too salty for my taste, but luckily the rice does help balance it out. Some of the crispness was sacrificed for the sauce, but it was overall still pretty crispy. I loved that they used boneless chicken thigh. I was expecting bones or lots of breading but it actually had a perfect ratio. I wasn't much a fan of the mac salad. It was like a mix of mac and potato salad, but more like a potato salad. I'm not big on potato salad, so that makes sense. My friend's ahi katsu was alright in my opinion. The sauce that's on it was good and enjoyed all the flavors. The tuna was just a bit overcooked to my liking, but idk how else one would make a katsu without overlooking it too much. Maybe bread the fish and freeze it before frying? Idk man, I'm not a chef lol but the tuna would definitely be better if it was less cooked. OVERALL: Honestly, I would still come here again. I still enjoyed the meal and the service was pretty quick. Both items were both worth trying. All the flavors were there and the little things I didn't like were just personal preferences. Its a great place to pick up a lunch plate and enjoy it at the beach.

Not the bartenders specifically but the management is clearly not helping the bartenders have enough time to take care of the peeps at the bar. They are carrying the whole place it seems like... I mean to say they are busy busy busy and the glasses are empty because they can't keep up! More bar tenders would help a TON or relieve the pressure from the restaurant drinks.

(On a Wednesday afternoon, there were about 6 people in a place that holds 60.) I finished my beer and paid for it. I chatted with some people at the bar, one of whom was the owner Dave, he was super nice. Also some regulars, and the bartender Keala. I went outside to help my wife carry bags from the farmers market to the car, and went back to my table. The bartender came over and asked if i want another beer, i said no. Then she said, i have to order another beer or leave. And she starts insulting me, saying this isnt college, i have to "move on out". So i left. This is the only time I have ever been insulted in a bar. I have friends in the service industry, i know they sometimes have to deal with rowdy drunks, so i chat and smile and leave a nice tip. To be treated this way, in a nearly empty bar when i wasnt taking anyone's chair, the bartender had to leave the bar and cross the entire place just to insult me. I go to bars to have a drink and a nice time and relax, not to get harassed and insulted by the bartender. I will never go back to this place, sorry Dave.
