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.

Nice place with open air seating so you can watch the cars go by in Kapaa. The service is great and they cook it fresh. It's like a five guys patty and it is tasty. Good place to try a fast meal on the road to Lihue or Hanalei...

Solid burger, especially given the very reasonable pricing. What the place doesn't give you in class it more than makes up for in charm. It's a cool shack by the sea. Food came fast, and it feels like the kind of place where the more you invest in the servers, the more they invest in you. We happened to sit outside, so I didn't get a whole lot of that, but it wasn't a problem as I came with a big group of people. Check it out, if not for the food and locale then for the great merch upfront.

Cheap eats! Auntie behind the register and quick cooks . Indoor and outdoor dining. Good place to stop and get a burger or a fish sandwich. Mo better than going to McDonald's!

Wailua Drive In is a popular Hawaiian restaurant in Kapa'a, Hawaii, known for its fresh, local…read morecomfort food like plate lunches, burgers, and katsu. 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.

First time to Kaua'i and I'm looking for some local eats. From the reviews I've read, this seems to…read morebe a popular place. GETTING THERE: It was extremely easy to find. 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.

Open air seating but covered they have beer on tap self serve for those who like that. They have TVs for your viewing pleasure of sports of course. Very clean for the most part. We did have to wipe up a little wet something on our table, though. The other reason we stopped in here is because they do have gluten-free options. Gentlemen who greeted and took our order us was pleasant. You order your food give, your name and have a seat anywhere. He gave us cups so we could go get our own drinks. I ordered TWO TACOS at $17.00 with shredded chicken wrapped in corn tortillas with coleslaw, cheese, cilantro sauce and pico de gallo. With fountain sweet peak green tea which in itself was new to me. But it was pretty refreshing. The tacos were fulfilling, even though there was only two of them, moist and tasty. My hubby ordered the chicken in A barrel plate at $20 with 1/4 piece (leg quarter) of the signature smoked chicken all plates are served with brown rice and homemade chill & are gluten/dairy free. The chicken was super moist and flavorful. Brown rice was seasoned well. The chili however, was bland. If they don't know how to do nothing else they definitely know how to smoke some chicken. That was the star of the shell although my tacos were pretty tasty as I said. He had a fountain Sprite. Free refills. I didn't get pictures of the large selection of self serve beer on tap because that's not my jam but no, that is there.

They were unfortunately out of chicken & pork tamales but we were lucky to try the veggie tamales! The masa was very tasty & light plus the filling of some cheese, onions, peppers & tomatoes made for a perfect tamale---very delicious! We placed a huge order: Jeni Special, 2 ground beef burritos, 2 taco salads, Rollin Ruben, fish & chip's & lastly avocado toast. Everything was delicious! The reason for one star taken off was that the avocado toast was missing eggs & the macaroni salad & the fish & chips came without the tartar sauce (wrong sauce given). Really good food from a food truck. We wouldn't hesitate to go back but we'd double check the accuracy of the order.
