    BBQ Bacon Burger
    Sonia G.

    The burgers were decent for food court fair. We each had a BBQ bacon burger and veggie burger. They gave out way too many steak fries but otherwise it was tasty and hit the right note. We ate in the food court area so nothing to speak of in terms of ambiance here. Several birds were walking around which I suggest you do not feed. Service was okay except it took them a while to ask for our order while we were waiting at the counter despite no one else in line. There only appeared to be 3 people working at this location.

    The burgers are delicious! I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger at the Waikiki food court location a few weeks ago and looking at the pic I want another one! Their fries are also very good too. They should make a sit down restaurant the prices are a tad high but the quality is awesome. Cashier was nice and food came out quickly. Would definitely go back

    Pineapple Teriyaki Burger

    If you know me and my wife, you know we're pineapple people. Not just "pineapple on pizza" people -- full-on pineapple on everything people. Burgers included. Back home, our only real options are Habit or Red Robin, so when I saw Mahaloha Burger was just a 5-minute walk away and had pineapple burgers on the menu, it was game over. I ordered three. One for my wife. Two for me. Don't judge -- vacation rules apply. The burgers were hot, fresh, and made to order. Flavor was on point, the pineapple was juicy and sweet, and it hit that salty-sweet combo just right. The only thing missing? Volume. I'm talking about pineapple ratio. I don't want a single polite slice. I want the same enthusiasm they have when they stack red onions. I'm starting a petition: "Equal Rights for Pineapple Toppings." Overall, solid spot, quick service, and definitely my go-to when the pineapple craving strikes in Waikīkī. Until then, I'll keep dreaming of that mythical triple-pineapple stack.

    It's a short walk from Sheraton Hotel and it's located at the Royal Hawaiian Center Food Court. Order up and you will be given that buzzer thing when your order is ready. Ordered were BBQ Bacon and Mushroom Swiss Burger. It was tasty, oily, artery clogging with a side of crips fries....it was good!!!

    Garlic Fries

    Only had the garlic fries. Nicely seasoned & soft. Definitely satisfied me & my wife's garlic fries cravings!

    Located in the Royal Hawaiian Center food court, Mahaloha Burger- Waikiki offers the typical fast foods. The menu offerings ranges from burgers, hotdogs, sides, shakes, and smoothies. There is a side menu specifically for kids. Kids menu is very straightforward, offering only a choice between mini slider or grilled cheese. Either options come with a side of fries. Purchases: Mushroom Swiss Burger Kid's Menu: Mini Slider + Fries Food took a lot longer to come out than it should have- given the fact that the establishment wasn't too busy during our visit. Staff is super relaxed and simply coasts through the entire transaction. The kids meal was very basic and although the mushroom burger was skimpy with the mushrooms, it was ultimately a good burger. 3 stars. Mahaloha Burger wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly good enough to HAVE to come back. There are plenty of eateries in the food court- my advice: take your time to see all of the food options prior to settling.

    One of the best burger and hotdog I had in a while. I ordered the Swiss mushroom grass fed burger and it was delicious. The all beef hotdog was also spectacular in taste. I would definitely order this again when I come back to Hawaii. It is located at the food court inside the Royal Hawaiian Center. Service was slow but it was worth the wait. It can be very crowded with tourists at times.

    This place is inside the mall. Burgers were ok but I tried the veggie burger so probably not the best here.

    Do they serve turkey burgers?

    Where is a good place to park?

    Park in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping center. Since Mahaloha is in the shopping center, they'll validate parking for you. There's quite a bit of stalls available and it's pretty secure.

We were hungry in the morning, so we got here just after they opened. There was lots of parking and while our Poi rolls were cooking we had a chance to chat with the owner Dennis. I have been to Hawaii a dozen times and was never a fan of Poi because I never tasted a dish that was prepared properly. We went to a picnic the previous day that had a donut like pasty made with Poi. It was delicious and totally changed my opinion. Based on that experience I wanted to try the signature Poi dog. We opted for the spicy version. It was so tasty with the matching condiments. If you are a foodie that wants to try something unique, be sure to give it a try. Dennis has another location in Waikiki that also sells Banh-Mi sandwiches. This is one of my weekly options for lunch at home, so we will be visiting the other location for dinner!

And on one of my last walk in Waikiki, I got on of his hotdogs. John and his staff were incredibly welcoming. He's originally from Philly, and as someone from the East Coast, I immediately felt that warm hospitality. John is so sweet, he even offered me the hot dog on the house... completely unexpected, but a true reflection of John's demeanor. I went with the chicken hot dog "John style" (well that is everything but the sauerkraut). I wasn't hesitate about the mustard because I'm usually not a fan but the staff insisted it was more like Dijon mustard anyways. The hotdog was loaded, flavorful, and way better than I expected for someone who usually keeps it simple with the toppings. The bun broke down a bit from all the toppings, but that was to be expected with all the toppings loaded on there. You can't beat the location, it's right outside the Ilikai by the lagoon though the service alone makes this an easy five stars. I'm really happy this ended up being one of my last food experiences living in Hawaii. I'd be eager to see John and his staff again if I return.

    I had been scrolling through Instagram on my lunch break yesterday when I happened to come across a…read morepost that indicated that Muki Dogs' Waikiki location had temporarily (?) relocated to Kaka'ako for the time being. And not just anywhere in Kaka'ako, but Mother Waldron Park to be exact, which is literally within walking distance from my workplace. Since I never have the chance to go by Waialae Ave. (their first/main location), I figured that now would be as good a time as any to stop by and see what the hype was all about. I walked over around noon with my boss and coworker and initially, I had panicked as I thought I had misread the post, but for those walking on foot, especially from Punchbowl area, Muki Dogs will be located at the farthest end of the park (adjacent to the food trucks). Just keep walking and you'll be able to spot Gene (the owner) as we had. Once we got to the stand, I had promptly ordered 2 Miso Kake and 1 The Works, to which Gene had jokingly asked if they were all for me. I clarified that 2 of the 3 were mine, so he wasn't completely off the mark, but I felt bad as I have RBF and face masks only serve to increase the severity of said expression, so Gene must've took my response as offended when I was just hangry. But if I had to be perfectly honest, I could easily eat four of these in one sitting and not be sorry lol. In any case, once I had ordered and paid for my dog, my boss and coworker also ordered as well, and Gene went straight to work on our orders. For those visiting for the first time, they currently have two options: 1) The Works, which is a very traditional hot dog with relish, sriracha mayo, ketchup, mustard, and Spanish crumble, and 2) Miso Kake, which is an Asian inspired hot dog full of umami flavors, with pickled scallion, sriracha mayo, miso paste and furikake crumble. I ended up getting one of each for myself since I wanted to see what the difference was in terms of flavors. Gene is really quick too as I believe it only took about 5-10 minutes, if even that long, to prep our orders, and my boss had even commented that Gene had some Top Chef moves when it came to our orders. Before we knew it, Gene thanked us for waiting and gave us a bag (no charge) full of our hot dogs and we headed back to the office for a taste test. So for those short on time, this would be a perfect place to stop by and grab a quick bite. I wasn't sure what to expect from a vegan hot dog, but I know one of the things that stood out to me about most of the reviews for Muki Dogs was that it didn't actually taste like a vegan hot dog. So with that in mind, I dug into The Works first and absolutely loved every bite I took. I think what's great about The Works is that because it mimics a traditional hot dog with the ketchup , mustard, and relish, it's almost as if your mind automatically makes the connection, and with the addition of the sriracha mayo and the Spanish crumble, there's an additional creamy, slightly spicy, and crunchy component that only emphasizes how delicious the hot dog is. In fact, I can very well see how someone could easily not even realize they were eating a vegan hot dog (it was that good!). The Miso Kake was also a good option and a perfect alternative for someone looking for a different type of hot dog. The miso paste and the sriracha mayo lend a nice creamy/salty flavor base for the pickled scallions and the furikake crumble, and the texture you get from each bite is absolutely divine. However, I do think that if you're not a fan of umami flavors, that this might not be the hot dog for you as it does somewhat emphasize the vegan hot dog more so than The Works. Overall, if you happen to be in the area or are interested in trying out a vegan hot dog, I would highly recommend visiting Gene at the Muki Dogs stand, especially as they are now stationed in Kaka'ako, which is quite convenient for anyone who has wanted to visit but never found the time to do so. The hot dogs are a little on the pricier side, but nothing like Hank's Haute Dogs nearby, and you will be left feeling full and content without the regret. Plus, Gene seems like a really nice guy who cares about the food that he makes, and it shows not just in the way he makes the hot dogs but also in the way that the flavors come through. And if that doesn't sell you, well...aren't you at least a little bit curious as to what a vegan hot dog tastes like? Best stop by to find out!

    Follow that big yellow sign!!!…read more Burgers & Burritos Hawaii I found at the Honolulu Farmers Market every Wednesday night market at the Blaisdell Center and at apparently at a few more that I'm not able to get to but their huge yellow sign says "Mexican Food Gourmet Burgers" in huge font so it can get confusing but so easy to find. Once you're there it's exactly that Mexican Food and Gourmet Burgers...and hot dogs! Well that's what I was actully craving...Island-Style Sonoran Dog. Bacon wrapped hot dog topped with grilled onions, pico de Gallo, guacamole, garlic aioli, sour cream and mustard all for $9. What a loaded dog it certainly was and it was made to order and is certainly worth just a couple minutes wait. So saucy and flavorful this bite was incredible the pico de Gallo just added the freshness that I loved, the bacon who doesn't love that was a nice salty touch and sour cream and garlic aioli just made it that much more bougie, Yup and with their name it's all about the burgers and Mexican foods which they have an impressive list to choose from...I got my eye on the Portabella Sandwich and Big Burrito (which they can make vegetarian) cause I dare you to pass this place when you can smell the grill going omg!! All made to order so you can have the topping of our choice with our without items you want. Thank you!

    Burgers + Burritos = Happiness!!!…read more During several foraging visits at the Honolulu Farmers Market, we have passed by Burgers & Burritos Hawaii (BBHI) as aromas of their fresh grilling hamburgers or toasting flour tortillas would fill the air. We've passed by enough times to have "studied" their menu so that we could decisively order once we patiently waited in line for our turn. We'd watch the female worker who worked as an order taker, cashier, and plate prep while the male worker focused his grilling skills on the plancha (similar to a flat top griddle). This food stall definitely gets busy as we've seen and been in lines of 10-deep. There was something in the back of my mind that told me that I had either read or heard about BBHI before and sure enough, Yelp Bud Fran C wrote an effusive review about BBHI in April 2020. Their burger menu offers 4 different styles: Classic, Hawaiian, Specialty, or Portabello. BBHI also offers an Island-style Sonoran Dog which is an all-beef hot dog wrapped in bacon and grilled and topped with onions, bell peppers, and roasted garlic aïoli. I didn't ask what qualifies this dish as "Island-style" but I'm assuming that it's because it's NOT your typical Sonoran dog that is served with beans, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño sauce, and mayonnaise. As good as these burgers and Sonoran dog looked, we came to BBHI for their LA-inspired taqueria Mexican food. Oh, how I looked forward to having my taste buds tickled with Cal-Mex specialties. So, we ordered the following items. -Chile Verde Plate: The menu described this dish as braised tender pork chunks in their homemade green chile sauce (Chile Verde). The Chile Verde is served as a choice of either burrito-style or on a plate with rice and black beans. Condiments on this plate were dollops of guacamole and sour cream or was it crema (Mexican sour cream)? Indeed, this chile Verde made from tomatillos, poblanos, and jalapeños had some spice kick but was easily mellowed by the crema. I rolled some of the flavorful pork chile Verde into the steaming hot street taco corn tortillas and found myself wanting another 2 more tortillas to sop up the sauce. This takeout plate was generously portioned and I still got full even though I shared it with my husband. $11. -Quesadilla with Meat: My husband chose chicken meat from among beef, pork, and chicken to fill this quesadilla. The flour tortilla quesadilla was loaded with pico de gallo and lots of cheese. There were dollops of guacamole and crema to complement the quesadilla. My husband asked for a couple of containers of red salsa to accompany his quesadilla. He warned me that the red salsa was spicier than the chile Verde which I had already found out about after dipping a piece of chicken from a quesadilla and feeling the chile burn in my throat. $10 The menu items at BBHI are limited but are flavorful and really remind me of LA's Guisado's or Roast-To-Go. Prices are reasonable for the fresh made-to-order food and the service is friendly. We'd gladly return to try more of their Cal-Mex offerings or if we're in the mood for a burger, their Classic cheeseburger looks quite appetizing. We'll be back again since both burgers and burritos DO make us Happy!

I ordered a combo plate with Vietnamese spicy fried chicken and the Country fried chicken with brown gravy...and for good measure also got a Teri-spam musubi. For the plate, I ordered it with Kalua fried rice and potato-mac salad and both chicken dishes were really good and extremely filling. The musubi was darn tasty as well.
