For the longest time, I was carrying around a Teddy's Bigger Burgers gift card with a balance. It…read morehas been a number of years since the last time I've visited this restaurant, which is just a mile from my home. Thought I had lost my gift balance and had completely forgotten what their specialty dishes are, as they have been relatively quiet in the community. Teddy's Bigger Burgers was founded in 1998 in Honolulu by two friends, Ted Tsakiris and Rich Stula. It is known for its 100% ground chuck charbroiled burgers, secret "Super Sauce," and hand-scooped milk shakes. They offer high-quality made-to-order diner-style burgers. Specifically, the burgers include: * 100% premium fresh chilled ground chuck, hand-portioned daily and seasoned with a secret 7-spice blend. * Char-broiled cooking. Patties are cooked to order on an open-flame charcoal grill to lock in juiciness. * Signature "super sauce." It's yellow, but without any mustard and is actually an aioli that is sweet, tangy, and savory. * Customization. All sandwiches come with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions, but there are options to customize with a variety of toppings, including bacon, blue cheese, jalapenos, onion rings, and pastrami; local geographical names are given to the burgers based on the toppings. There are also 3 sizes of patties: big (5 oz), bigger (7 oz), and biggest (double). * Golden potato buns that are soft and delicate in texture, with a slightly sweet note that brings out the savory, smoky, flavor of the burger. * Sides. Chicken tenders, salad, specialty fries, onion rings, thick milk shakes made with local Hawaii-made ice cream. With my gift card's remaining balance, I opted to order a teri burger. I had forgotten how fresh these burgers are! Yes, the burger was indeed fresh chilled ground chuck with crisp lettuce, cucumbers and sliced onions. The burger was rather large and had the perfect potato bun! Definitely not your normal McD! A very nice patty; however, the teri sauce was on the milder side and not the real teri sauce that locals are used to. Geared to tourists, the teri sauce will be more than satisfactory. Great customer service was the basis for the two founders who loved good burgers and set out to create a restaurant that served the best quality burger. Hours of operation are daily 10a to 9p. Located in the Koko Marina Shopping Center, free parking is available that is shared with other businesses in the complex. The restaurant interior is clean spacious with indoor and outdoor dining available; the interior décor has a nice ambiance of a surfing theme of the 1980's with wall photos. Note that that there are 12 locations in Hawaii, with 11 on Oahu, and one on Maui. Teddy's Bigger Burgers is a fine burger establishment that its owners take great pride in offering burgers that they have spent much time in making it their own! Support local!

This sandwich bar has been open for years and owned by the sweetest and hard working Korean couple with another woman who is very good and fast during the busy lunch hour. The three of them make an awesome team and have been working together for a long time so they know how to get your lunch quickly, efficiently and correct! They also do great sandwich platters and lunch bags for your seminars, meetings, etc. Check the chalkboard for specials and soup of the day! Phone in the order and it's always ready - these sandwiches are good too with plenty of meat, fresh veggies and ono spreads. They also have cookies, brownies, muffins, bags of chips, canned juice/soda, salads, and breakfast! Loved their breakfast- scrambled eggs, bacon and toast! Put in your order at the counter then sit at one of the tables to wait and it's ready pretty quickly! This is my absolute favorite sandwich place on the island and been patronizing them for over 20 years for both my personal lunch or for our corporate events. Mahalo Heidi's Deli & Bistro!

Heidi's Club and the Turkey Cranberry Wrap. I've gravitated to the wrap because it's low cal / low fat ... A Spinach tortilla is filled with greens, pieces of turkey and dollops of canned cranberry sauce. Real cranberry sauce would take this wrap from a healthy and tasty choice to a simply scrumptious choice. Oh well, one can dream. The wrap is now $13 ... Alas, prices have increased almost everywhere. There are very few places where we can get a tasty and filling lunch for less than $20. Yes, I know, if we complain about prices, we're old. Anyway, back to Heidi's ... their menu hasn't changed very much over the years ... You can still get sandwiches, salads, and soups from the friendly staff.

My family have been coming here for breakfast every Saturday, for the past couple of months and…read morethis location has been pretty good, and they seem to have addressed the little things that had been "off". I pretty much order the exact same thing each time, Sweet bread French toast, since I like it, and so does my granddaughter, so we share it. Today, my order came with 3 slices, when I could have sworn that it had come with 4 (2 whole slices of bread cut in half). I don't know if this was a mistake, or just that I'm getting old and was imagining things, but it was a little confusing. I didn't say anything to our server, but just made a mental note. (I checked their app later, and it shows 3, so maybe it's me, lol). I'm a Zipster, and use the app to order food for pickup in Kailua, so I love being able to use these breakfasts to earn points, as well. The rest of our orders were as usual, and the service was good, as well. My granddaughter always looks forward to the little token at the end, and she knows exactly where to put it in the toy machine for her prize. It's her reward for being behaved during breakfast. We'll still come here weekly, of course, and I'm just curious to see if this was just my imagination, or something else.

The owner, who has been at this location since January, had great customer service, and his young son was just as welcoming! The area has four other food trucks and about seven tables for seating, making it a nice spot to enjoy your meal. We took our food to go, and my mouth was watering the entire drive home because it smelled so good! My boyfriend ordered the double-slider platter and especially enjoyed the sliders and mac and cheese. The slaw was interesting, but not in a bad way. The huge mozzarella sticks were a favorite, and my three-piece chicken tenders were delicious. The spice level had a nice kick without overpowering the flavor. It reminded us of Dave's Hot Chicken on the mainland, which was exciting since we don't have one here in Hawaii! We'll definitely be back!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience. This establishment canceled my uber order without…read moremaking any effort to contact me or let me know beforehand. As a returning customer placing my second order, I expected a much higher level of professionalism and customer service. As the food the first time was amazing. I was prepared to spend $77 on this order, and the least I expected was the professional courtesy of a phone call to explain the situation and offer an apology, even if the staff was busy or unable to fulfill the order. Simply canceling an order without any communication demonstrates a strong lack of respect for customers and their time. Because of how this was handled, I will not be returning, nor can I recommend this establishment to others. Strong customer service is about communication and accountability, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short of those expectations.

I stopped going to this location for a while because of that. But I decided to take a chance and go with my fiancé because I was craving the garlic cream fettuccine! This is always my go to dish whenever I eat at CPK. (Please don't ever get rid of it! I love it so much!) Also because I had a gift card I got for Christmas last year lol I like that they have a text message system for the wait list now instead of the pager thing they used to have. It's very convenient! (It's been a while since I've dined this location lol) As soon as I got the text that the table was almost ready, we got seated right away. Our server was quick to help us get our drinks and order started. He was a nice young Asian boy with glasses. (I can't remember his name!ahh) There was another guy helping us too which was nice! We later found out there's people helping the restaurant from the Special Olympics tonight. There's a fundraiser for them if you want to help donate. Our order came out really fast. It was the fastest I've ever received the food here! The restaurant was super busy too. So I was genuinely surprised and how fast everything was. We managed to get in and out basically within 30 minutes! Thats a record. Especially since we were personally on a time crunch tonight If every service was like tonight, I would definitely come back sometime! All the staff did a wonderful job.

We are weekly regulars at Sprout Sandwich Shop and it's usually good to very good. My issue at…read moretimes is that the fillings can be skimpy and not evenly distributed. I think that you should be able to taste a bit of everything in the sandwich with every bite. There have been times that the pickled red onion was on the skimpy side - like 80% of the time. To me a great sandwich is when everything is evenly spread on the bread (house mayo, hummus, garlic aioli, etc.) and evenly laid out (turkey, chicken, meats, etc.) and not just piled high in the center with the edges bare. Today my Duke sandwich was fantastic! Whoever made it literally had everything evenly spread and laid out on my multigrain bread. The lettuce was over the edges, but who cares. The carved turkey was moist and the bacon had the right amount of crunch. I actually had pickled red onions in every bite and not just a few pieces pulled apart by the layers and spread out on top of the meat. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich that just disappeared too fast. It's so easy to continually support our neighborhood businesses when they serve great food.

And you're going to need that for your day jaunting across Waikiki in your new seal-print bathing suit. So ditch that Moko Loko and grab yourself a beautiful sandwich from Sprout, you'll feel a lot better about your trip to Hawaii. I love that Sprout has vegetable-forward options even in their meat-based sandwiches. The pesto chicken salad was loaded with beautiful green goodies which made this treat as aesthetically pleasing as it was delectable. They're also slapping down some of the best local Hawaiian ingredients into these here sanguines. The pesto itself was mac-nut based, which was intriguing. I'll be honest, I couldn't taste the difference between that and a pine nut pesto, but it was friggin delish pesto either way. The only downside I can think of is that the bread here lands somewhere between "ok" and "good". I've never had a bread quite like it, but it reminds me of a mix between an artisanal white bread, and a painini bread that you would find in Italy. It got the job done, but I feel like it could be upgraded. Sprout is worth a visit before or after your beach trip. The surrounding neighborhood is also a lively area with tons of fun restaurants and shopping.
