    So good!! If you're in the area and craving a burger this is a must stop! We had the Dubs with fries and rings. Will definitely be back.

    Single patty and fries for the kids
    Lava F.

    Amazingly delicious burgers! I love how the meat gets all crispy on the edges! Our kids loved them too and we got fries and onion rings and both were so good. Also lots of T.V.s with different sport playing so you have something to look at while you wait.

    A "dub" burger with all the toppings. Came with salt and pepper fries.

    Smash Daddy's was super clean, fun decor, open layout and inviting. Order at the counter. The menu isn't large, but what they have, they do well! Basically, you order by the number of patties you want on your burger. All burgers come with delicious fries that you can upgrade to onion rings for $2. You can choose from several toppings (or have all of them) at no charge and there are a couple for an additional charge. I had the double patty with all the free toppings and I have to say it was the best burger I'd had in recent memory. The meat was crispy, but not dry and nicely seasoned. The toppings were well executed and everything just tasted good. The fries were thick cut and excellent with salt and pepper already on. No idea when I'll be back to Waikoloa, but you can bet I'll go back to Smash Daddy's when I'm in town again!

    Smash burger was excellent! I added blue cheese and went with the Frings which is a half fries and half onion rings combo. Crunchy and not soggy like most places. Beer on tap and boozy adult milk shakes available too.

    The dubs
    Kylie S.

    Plentiful seating inside and some outside, with a bar in the back. Service was friendly. Food was good, burgers were juicy even though they were smash. Honestly kinda missed having more veggies like tomatoes in my burger and was surprised it wasn't an option to add. Fries were thick cut, didn't finish them all. Would go back!

    Literally the best smash burger I had EVER had! The vibes were impeccable and the service was so good. We went for lunch and didn't have to wait long but the line got LONG by the time we were leaving. The burger tastes so so good and I am said we don't have this in Indy!

    Nice atmosphere, clean, stylish, good AC ;-). The burgers were indeed smashed and had a nice crunch to it. The pepper taste was a bit strong on the meat party for my liking. The onion rings were perfect and don't get me started on the milkshake! Super friendly people and loved the atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

    The Dubs

    Came out an a trip to the big island. I'm not too big of a fan at where we're staying. It's so sparse, and not the prettiest side. I don't enjoy these trips usually, because they're depressing. The places usually best kept and dominating business are all big business corporations and resorts and such. And I'm just not a beach person. I come for my family though. Anyway, I needed to say that to set up for my review. This place is the highlight of my trip. Small location. Cutesy interior. Plain, but they work with what they got. The live music is kinda loud, but at least the talented is actually talented. It's cozy enough, with some benches outside if necessary. The bigger - I got the dubs, a double smash burger. Holy crap. The flavor is impeccable. Normally im not overly fond, but the cooks found that right crisp without over charring the meat. And the cheese is so melty and perfect. Nice cut bacon, not overcooked and not paper thin. The buns a typical brioche I believe, which is always great. A bonus for me - I'm a picky eater, if you couldn't tell by my previous rant. If I'm not mistaken, I think the burgers are ordered plain by default? I ordered, then they asked what toppings I would like, which never happens. All burger places have their menu preplanned, with toppings per item. It was refreshing to not have to say I want my burger plain, and wonder if I was maybe misheard, or anything of that sort. The fries are typical fries - but that's not to knock them. Unlike most places, these come seasoned lightly with black pepper, and I love that. I don't think they use much salt in the kitchen for the fries, but that's fine. You want salt? Add salt. Everything here just seems so considerate and high quality. The staff was fabulous, and everything seems to be in order. I wish the best for this place. 10/10 from me.

    The Dubs

    We went to Smash Daddy's hoping to get something decent to eat, and boy were we in for a surprise! I got The Dubs and was shocked with how flavorful the burger was. It wasn't too oily and the burger itself tasted great! The edges of the burger was nice and crispy, and you could actually tell that the patty was a "brisket blend." We also got french fries and onion rings -- both were crispy and went perfectly with the amazing burger. Vibe: The restaurant is large with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The workers were very friendly and the service was fast. Parking: There's a huge free parking lot in the shopping complex that Smash Daddy's is located in.

    50/50 burger with smash sauce, fries (a.k.a. your dreams coming true)

    We have been enjoyed Smash Daddy's many times. We have brought big parties, families, and date nights. Dine-in or take out are equally great. The service and food are consistently on point. Live music on the weekends. Ono burgers, fries, and shakes. Smash sauce is your best friend and great on fries too. Indoor and outdoor dining is clean and functional. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual. They have their focused menu figured out! If you're looking for a good burger-Just do it! You won't be disappointed. 50/50 is my go to. They do have a Vegan option available. I don't often give 5 star reviews. They've earned it again and again.

    Inglish R.

    Great vibes and fresh tasting food. I absolutely loved the live music. Quality burgers and affordable too! Staff were all pretty friendly. Food was delicious and shakes were THICK! Highly recommend if you are anywhere near the area.

    Frozen Mai Tai!
    Raheem A.

    Searching for a good burger and a place to watch game two of the NBA Finals, I did a quick Yelp search and came across a burger joint called Smash Daddy's with near-perfect reviews. A 10 minute walk from our Airbnb, my wife and I embarked on the short trip. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the nostalgic sounds of early 2000's hip hop/r&b. An employee at the counter greeted us and we proceeded to order the following: Black and Blue Dubz burger (burger of the week for my wife), The Dubs (for me), and two frozen Mai Tai's. First out was our Mai Tai's, which were delicious and a nice contrast against the fairly humid weather. Our food orders arrived at our table roughly 10 minutes later; however, my wife's order was missing the requested added bacon. When I brought this to one of the employee's attention, she apologized and immediately had bacon added to the burger. While enjoying our tasty burgers, we watched the game on a huge television that is strategically placed in the restaurant in a way that everyone can view it. We enjoyed our experience at Smash Daddy's and loved seeing the employees joyfully engage with local, repeat customers. If you're looking for a delicious burger, fries, and an adult beverage (they had boozy milkshakes that were really popular); I recommend Smash Daddy's if you're craving a burger!

    Solo dolo
    Sydni K.

    I've heard great things about Smash Daddy's and had to give their burgers a try! They're located at Waikoloa Plaza, which had tons of free parking and lots of other shops as well. I wasn't super hungry, so I just got the solo solo, which was a single party. I loved the crispy edges of the smash patty, which went well with their fluffy bread. Even the solo dolo came with an order of fries. I loved the fries because they were thick cut and peppery. There's a decent amount of seating inside, as well as some tables outside. The inside of the restaurant has a lot of character, with some interesting art decor. There were lots of TV screens playing different sports. I would definitely come back here to try one of their specialty burgers with additional toppings!

There's an ABC store here, a pricey market and a deli. We got some burgers that were just ok with overcooked fries and some groceries for our suite because we were cooking breakfast at the hotel.

We were only $20 short of reaching the $300 spending requirement for the free gifts, which should speak to how frequently we visited and how much money we spent at this store. Despite being repeat customers, every visit was met with the same poor customer service. All of the cashiers who helped us were rude, curt, and could not even acknowledge the smallest greetings. The customer service was so unpleasant that it was not worth the experience. The food is not amazing, the prices are not great, and the only thing this place has is convenience--nothing more to offer. In one instance, I got a burger and a black milk tea with boba. I specifically told the cashier that I wanted boba, but she did not ring it up. When I inquired about the missing boba, a young employee addressed the matter with the cashier. They talked, and I said that if it cost more, I could pay for it. She rang up the boba with zero acknowledgment of her mistake. Nothing came out of her mouth. Complete silence. In another instance, I asked a cashier what the gifts were if we reached $300 in purchases. She did not say a word. She simply reached for a card with images of the gifts and placed it on the opposite side of where I was standing. She said nothing. I asked if those were the gifts, and she said yes. She then pulled out her phone while I looked at the card, and I simply said, "Okay, thank you." These are just a few examples of the many disturbing encounters we had with all of the cashiers. While on vacation in a tourist area, this is not the type of conduct or customer service one expects to experience. It was disturbing, and we dreaded going there despite the convenience.
