    You hungry... This is the place to knock it off your to do list and thankfully I happen upon them when I was browsing around at Harbor Vintage on South Beretania St and this carnivore spot has creatively utilized their 1/4lb patty in many different ways and as I glanced at the menu they had me at pickled jalapeños. Patty Melt definitely has a lot going from the soy balsamic mushrooms, red onions, muenster cheese and their yummy homemade ranch on both sides of the sourdough bread grilled to perfection really got me excited and it comes with chips but decided to upgrade with a green salad for +$2. I also got the loaded tater tots which is topped with pickled jalapeños, bacon bits, chopped up crispy cheese is like dried cheese and wasn't my favorite but the white lightning drizzle is their homemade ranch I couldn't get enough of was amazing and wished that I got extra sauce. Portions are very generous and can easily feed two is totally worth the wait as everything is obviously made to order so be prepared to have a short wait but loved the vibe and the staff who makes it all work and satisfied my hungry belly. Thank you!

    Got the Man Child burger and the jalapenos/bacon paired very well - heard lots of compliments from the other passerby who got the other flavors as well. Hoping to revisit again - staff was super nice and chill - Miguel Morales Photography

    PARTY MELT n' THE DOUBLE DRAGON

    @fortunefoodfinds: "It's FRY-day, let's PARTY! Finally got the chance to check out HUNGRY JON'S PLACE last Friday at the Koolau Night Market located in the parking lot of Windward Mall near Leonards n' Target. PARTY MELT: 1/4 LB PATTY, WHITE LIGHTNING SAUCE, MUENSTER CHEESE, CRISPY CHEESE SKIRT, SOY BALSAMIC MUSHROOMS, SLIVERED FRESH RED ONION, PICKLED JALAPENOS, BACON, ALL ON GRILLED SOURDOUGH ROUNDS. THE DOUBLE DRAGON: 2 QTR LB PATTIES, 2 SLICES OF AMERICAN CHEESE, DEEP CARAMELIZED ONIONS, MAN-CHILD SAUCE, ON GRILLED BRIOCHE. Just thinking about these makes me hungry. Now I know where to go when in da mood, for comfort food!" Staff: fully staffed Exterior: food truck Wait time: 15-20 mins Parking: mall lot Overall comments: Both were devoured in minutes. The crispy cheese n' pickled jalapeños were just some of the highlights of the Party Melt, but everything just came together n' was literally a party. The Double Dragon brought the cheeseburger vibes you feen for n' even my 4 year old loved it. Fries were crispy n' well seasoned. Wanna try out more menu items on my next visit!

    Saw their food truck during an event and decided to check it out, as their prices were pretty reasonable. I got their ManChild burger which had bacon and toasty cheese, and my friend got the Party Melt. Both of them came with kettle chips. I enjoyed the burger, was a pretty typical take out burger but with kettle chips instead of fries. Although, my friend and I agreed it was a bit too greasy for our taste, but still pretty good. It's worth a try if craving a burger.

    As the ultimate burger lovers, I knew we had to try! Hungry Jon's has been on my radar for some time now since I've seen the truck in my neighborhood. Located at the Pearlridge night market this time. They had a TV screen on their truck that played all the different photos of all their signature foods on the menu. This had me drooling while I passed by weighing out my options, good marketing lol. Very nice and friendly workers! Order estimated around 15 minutes. Cash or card accepted. We decided on the Warhammer ($16) and Manchild ($12) which came with a side of crispy kettle chips. The Warhammer was delicious! Hot, very juicy, bacon makes everything better. I chose the Man child since I couldn't resist once I saw the "cheese skirt" which was interesting. Sadly, my burger wasn't warm and the cheese skirt ended up being more mushy than crispy. Maybe mine sat a little longer while the other burger was being made. They were also out of caramelized onions, but I bet that would have made it taste better. Nevertheless, I still appreciated the burger truck concept and I would come back to try other items! Hungry for more!

    We ran into Hungry Jon's food truck at the Harley Davidson car show last night where we brought our lowrider, and thank God they were there because I didn't even know this truck existed until now. We grabbed two burgers: my boyfriend went full caveman with the War-Hammer ($19) and I got Ethan's Old-School Teri Burger ($13). Both come with chips, but you can upgrade to fries for $3. I figured one fry upgrade would be enough for us to share but honesty, the fries were good and seasoned well, but the portion was really small, too small for the $3 upgrade anyway. Its the kind of portion that makes you feel like you're on a diet you never signed up for. If you think youll be able to sneak a few fries off your partners plate and it not be noticed, think again. Lol Just upgrade your own. His War-Hammer was solid, but a little pricey to not come with fries. My Teri burger though? Absolute religious experience. I've been dealing with health stuff that makes it hard to eat much, but I inhaled half of this thing like I'd just been released from prison for selling bootleg Limewire DVDs. The patty was pounded thin, like the balding tires on my Audi after hitting all these Dillingham pot-holes but it was enough for me. The Teri sauce was straight-up crack in condiment form. I said it reminded me of Subway's sweet onion teriyaki sauce, but my boyfriend said it reminded him of the old Kenny's Burger House in Kalihi (back in the 90s). He was having childhood flashbacks like he had been in the Vietnam War. This burger has me walking around scratching my neck like them batu-fiend night walkers in chinatown. Them Vegans are missing out for sure because this burger alone was enough to turn PETA into a tailgate party Definitely going back!

    Party melt

    Omg !!!!! Yum!! I got the party melt. EVERY SINGLE BITE WAS SO FLAVORFUL. The ingredients and combinations of this burger/sandwhich whatever it is was amazing. I just finished my burger and I am already anticipating for the next time I'll eat it again.

    Lily D put this lunch truck on my radar months ago but I wasn't able to come visit till recently. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of going to lunch trucks but the sandwiches here looked legit and she said they were good so I had to give them a try. Hungry Jon's Place is a black lunch truck that is on Kaheka St next to American Savings Bank in the Pan Am Building. I texted in my order so that I could eat the sandwiches as quickly as possible around 10:30am. They replied back with the menu for the day with specials and told me that my pick up time was 11:45am. I was so excited to try them out that I arrived a little early so I paid first and waited for my order to be completed. Both cash and credit cards are accepted. They didn't take long to get my order out. It smelled amazing on the drive home. My order was 1 Party Melt and 1 Chunky Cheese. Both orders came with chips. The menu board stated they were sold out which is great for them. They seem to have a loyal following as most people there have tried several menu items from what I overheard. Seems like preordering is the way to go as a few customers just walked by and was sad they were sold out. Originally I wanted 1 Patty Melt, 1 Korean Braised Beef Sandwich and 1 Pothead. With their menu changing weekly, I was glad because their Chunky Cheese sandwich was amazing! The jalapeños added a nice kick to the sandwich and the bread on both sandwiches were still crispy when I ate them. Between both sandwiches, I enjoyed the Chunky Cheese more. You get amazing sandwiches for a great price. Customer service was friendly and you gotta love supporting a local husband and wife business. Solid spot and they lived up to Lily D's hype.

    This food truck near donki (Kaheka) has been open for several weeks now. They're either parked by the detached parking structure or near the church. I just drove around the block to try to find their gray truck the day i went. I literally heard about this truck because of IG. I actually have 2 IG accounts (one to post food and one for my dog). One day i noticed in stories that another newer dog account mentioned that they owned a food truck, so of course i was willing to try it! You can always count me in when it involves food! They also have really strange hours and only open on Sundays and Mondays from 10-2pm. I found out that they also have other full time jobs, so this explains the strange business hours. Luckily for me - i was off today so i was able to go down and try! I've attempted to come down prior but something i went to that day took way too long and didn't make it back into town in time. They are also the cutest husband and wife duo. That is amazing to want to work with your significant other, because i think i would go crazy! LOL. They had 3 Sandwiches & 1 Soup available this Sunday - I opted for the Kahula Yaki which was typically Kalua pork w/Teri Sauce. The sandwich also came with a side of chips or salad. I opted for the chips. The sandwich was also so big its sharable between two people as well. All sandwiches are $12 and really good. I cant wait to try other ones they have in the making as long as it's nothing healthy and only veggies, LOL. You're also allowed to bring your 2 or 4 legged children since it is a food truck and they're parked along the street. If you have a 4 legged child - they do sell dog treats for ($6). These treats are made by the wife. They were so kind let Simba sample some of their treats. The flavor was chicken and pumpkin and it breaks apart similar to a Ryoken bar for smaller portions if you're familiar with that brand. Cash, Credit, or Venmo is accepted.

    It's beautiful

    I was craving a burger and saw the banner to the Kaiser Farmer's Market and decided to take a chance. I'm so happy I stumbled across Hungry Jon's Place! The prices were extremely reasonable and the burger was fantastic. I ordered the Manchild burger and really enjoyed every bite. I think that they should add a blue cheese burger with the cheese skirt, I think it'd be super epic! The service was also fantastic. Very nice duo!

    Saw their food truck at Koolau's night market earlier. There was a slight wait, but the burger and fries were delicious! The prices were also quite reasonable. :)

    Typical Burger - sourdough bread, beef patty, bacon, red onion, lettuce and tomato with chips
    Craig S.

    My co-workers have been raving about this truck for months. I finally took the plunge since they were located near the office. Today's specials were four burger selections and a salmon sandwich. Their soup of the day was corn chowder. I chose the Typical Burger which consisted of grilled sourdough bread, hamburger patty, bacon, pickle, red onions, lettuce and tomato. It was topped with their "typical" sauce which was similar to thousand island dressing and served with kettle style chips. The sandwich was big, messy and delicious. I had to get extra napkins. You can follow them on social media to see where they will be located. They also encourage you to call ahead to place your order.

    Everything about this little shop is awesome. I believe the owner was there to take our order and…read morethe menu is pretty straight forward. At the time, he stated that him and his partner were in a competition to see how many triples they could sell, but figured I'd keep that in the back of my mind for our next visit. We came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend's coworker and I'm glad we came! The burgers and fries were made fresh. There are only a hand full of tables inside and a small bar area, but there is also outdoor seating outside, too! A neat fact is that there were pictures posted from when the shop first opened up and to see They Daley as a fixture in Chinatown is amazing since they've stuck around and adapted to the development around. The burger was delicious, too. They have an aioli sauce that was good with diced up pickles. Usually I request no pickles but the small bursts really added to the texture and feel of the burger overall. 10/10 would come again!

    This was my first visit to The Daley in years ... I love their burgers, and most time their fries,…read morebut my last order was left wanting. I'm pleased to report that this latest order contained a perfectly prepared burger and a bag of crispy fries (as ordered). The remaining nitpicks were: 1) having to wait an additional 10 minutes past the time the order was supposed to be ready, 2) paying $6 for a bag of fries. Increase the price of the burger by $1 and reduce the price of the fries. Yes, the total would be the same but the value would be where it belongs. In any case, $10 is money well spent for a great burger.

    I came in ready to experience a life-changing Wagyu burger... the kind that makes you question…read moreevery burger you've ever eaten. Instead, I had a really good burger. I ordered the Wagyu Deluxe Burger, and don't get me wrong--it was juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a soft, slightly sweet bun that tied everything together nicely. It was delicious! But if you blindfolded me, I don't know if I could confidently tell you it was Wagyu. It tasted very similar to a really good smash burger, so unless you're trying to impress your taste buds (or your wallet), I'd probably just order the original smash burger next time. One thing to keep in mind: there was only one guy running the whole operation when I visited. He was taking orders, cooking, and doing everything short of cloning himself. So if the place gets busy, expect a little wait. Honestly, respect to him for keeping it all together. Parking is a bit of a treasure hunt since there are only a few stalls. I got lucky and snagged the last spot, but street parking may be your backup plan. The inside was clean, spacious, and a comfortable place to enjoy your meal. Overall, I'd definitely come back--next time I'll save a few bucks, grab the original smash burger, and let the lone burger superhero work his magic.

    The OG3 Cheeseburger Deluxe was just perfect. Perfect ingredients, perfect cooking, perfect taste…read more The Plain Hot Dog wasn't super great. Charred hot dog bun, hot dog itself was just okay. Service was good and friendly but it did take some time for food to come out. Place was mostly clean. I had to brush off a ton of powder or something grainy from my seat before I sat down but otherwise the place was nice and seat was comfortable. It's borrowing the space of a completely different restaurant and it's obvious because there's a cooktop in the middle of each table. No points deducted for that though. Just info. Seems like a lot of folks order takeout, but there were also a number of tables filled when I went. I'd come back for sure. That burger was just so good! And good price.

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!

However, they were closed on Mondays....sad face! So we just started walking. We found ourselves at Ala Moana East...LOL! Walking through it all, we reminisced about the old International Market Center. We started toward the Food Hall, and Debs said that Banzai Burger was good, so we went. The woman working was so nice! 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!

There is a private lot that you can park in, so parking is free and not an issue. However, looking for this place might be. It's literally just a black door with a white window and red light above it that's located next to the stairs and on the first floor. Just roll up to the door/ window where you can find their menu. It's a pretty small menu but what is offered is out of this world! I don't know where else you would get a double patty smash burger for only $9! Just push the button and a guy will open The window to help you. Once you place your order bell close it again and you'll just have to wait for it to be prepared. He'll open it up again when your food is ready and that is when you pay for your goods. It gave me mafia vibes here and it felt so secretive lol. Kind of like a speakeasy but for burgers? Lol I'm sure the effects would be moreso in the middle of the night with a little red light on the door. I picked up the og burger + onion rings. Their fry sauce was sweet chili oil + Mayo and fried to perfection. But - I think for just $2 more I should have got the other burger instead. Lol. The burger was huge and so juicy. I will totally come back again cause it was that good!

The place is very hard to locate, due to the lack of good signage, but it's in the shopping center right next to the Lobster King. Parking is very difficult too, so maybe have another person with you who can order and wait for the food. I'm not going to lie, the wait time for the food is extremely long for just burgers and fries--took more than 30 minutes--but please keep in mind this is a small business. I think there were only 2 or 3 people working, an auntie, uncle, and a younger guy who I believe was cooking. The food looked so beautiful but everything was too salty and the patties were way too charred, which I'm hoping was a one off thing. I did DM them on social media shortly after picking up our order and they said it was an off day. They offered for me to come back one day so they can make things right, but I don't know if I'll have the time to swing by anytime soon. I truly hope this business does well, they are the sweetest people I've met in the last few months, and I wish them nothing but the best. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I mean look at how beautiful their burgers are!
