    Chalk board for games in seating area
    Justin S.

    South shore grill is a legendary local spot just on the other side of kapahulu near kapiolani park. Everything here is so fresh and tasty. You can't go wrong, but the Cajun fish burrito is my personal favorite. The fish is always seasoned and cooked perfectly. And whatever they put in the white sauce is simply divine. The condiment stand has salsa and franks red hot - and I recommend slathering both on top for extra flavor. The Kalbi is also really good and I pretty regularly get the peanut butter temptation bites. You should too. Staff is super friendly. And while there is usually a wait, the food comes out pretty fast. It's good for dine in and take out for the nearby park and beaches. I appreciate the little touches here like the art and the chalkboard for playing games while you wait. Just overall super chill. And I love that they sell surf wax because this has somehow become the place where I buy it the most! Definitely swing by if you have the chance. You won't regret it!

    I was craving fish tacos at night and luckily South Shore was just a quick drive away. You can tell this is one of those casual local spots. They have a great variety of options on their menu, and I ordered the ono tacos, a kalbi taco, and onion rings. It seemed like there was only one chef and two girls were working the register and maybe prepping the takeout orders? Food took maybe 15 minutes and the portions were generous. The fish tacos were soooo tasty, especially with the cabbage slaw they put on top. It was marinated with some delicious sauce and made the taco. The kalbi was also a solid choice, and the meat was savory and flavorful. Also, the onion rings were fried to order and make sure to get a side of their addicting garlic aioli. Well done South Shore Grill!

    Chicken Breast Plate with Garlic Butter, Fries and Cole Slaw.

    I enjoyed a very reasonably priced dinner at this restaurant. I ordered the Chicken Breast Plate with Garlic Butter Sauce, Fries and Cole Slaw. A strawberry soda to drink. The food was fresh and tasty and hit the spot. You order at the front and pick up your food and seat yourself. The gentleman that took my order was friendly and very efficient. The vibe is relaxed and the restaurant is clean and laid out well. It was my first visit, but I would definitely return.

    Kalbi plate perfectly cooked and flavored with fries n slaw - sister loved it

    I found this restaurant on Yelp because of its high ratings. I did notice a few negative reviews but decided to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The restaurant felt rundown, and the dining space was extremely small. The seating area in the back felt cramped, closed off, and almost claustrophobic, so I chose to sit in the front instead. As for the food, it was disappointing. The fish was dry and rubbery, the beef was very salty, and I did not care for the rice. The vegetables were heavily covered in mayonnaise, which was not to my taste. I only took a few bites of my meal and did not finish it. My husband finished his meal and described it as "okay," but neither of us felt it was anything special. The one positive was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, based on the atmosphere, food quality, value, and the drive to get there, I would not return. While others may have a different experience, this restaurant simply was not worth the price for me.

    The girl at the front was friendly and there are probably around 20-25 seats available for dine in. There is a bathroom available for patrons, but you have to be lucky with parking sometimes. Food was good and the portions were adequate for the price. They have stars next to their popular dishes so that helps when you're undecided on what to eat. I would definitely come back to try other items.

    Kalibi Burrito, side Slaw, Mac, and Rice

    Great service! Ana was super helpful. Gets busy for a small place, so sometimes the food takes a while. Worth the wait for the Kalbi Burrito.

    We stopped by for dinner on a Friday night with my friends from out of town. The street parking was super easy after 7pm surprisingly even on a Friday. I ordered the ono with pesto mac nut sauce on top. The food was great! I would come back! Even though there were a lot of people coming in for takeout, we were the only ones eating there, so it felt nice and laid-back. Just know that dining in here is pretty much self-serve. You grab your own utensils, water, and pick up your food at the counter so it's very casual. Take out is also an option if you want to hang out with your dog!

    SSG mix, kalbi, bbq chix, tuna mac, and fish taco
    John N.

    Went for fish tacos, but got the SSG mixed instead. Service 10/10. Fish Tacos always 10/10. Kalbi 8/10 good flavor little bit tough. BBQ chix 8/10. Tuna mac 7/10, something new to me, maybe I'm not used to it. Hapa rice, I prefer white rice but it's ok. Overall, I love this place. If there is an open stall out front I'll stop. Support local.

    Does the grilled chicken sandwich have garlic or onion? Can't eat either.?

    Both. To go without either it get pretty plain. Would have to go all dry, and no slaw, no topping. Honestly would be just chicken, salt pepper, lettuce tomato. Sorry

The fries have changed since small kid times, but the burgers taste exactly the same. I've now introduced W&M to my own children and we enjoy stopping by to pick up some burgers and fries together as a family. The parking lot is small but we've been lucky to find a stall the times we've been going. They have a beautiful mural in their parking lot that shows where they have been before their location in Kaimuki. There is also a history of W&M burger from the humble beginnings of starting a burger place. You can call ahead and even order online so your food is ready to be picked up. If you go to the counter then be prepared to wait a little bit, as they are flame-grilled made-to-order burgers and fries. If you want a side of nostalgia with your delicious burger, then check out W&M! Happy Eating!

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!

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.

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!

The patrons were awesome, prices were comparable, service very friendly, beers were tasty but wished they had more variety, and the food options were very limited. This was also a family and pet-friendly (events on certain nights) place. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $145.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
