    Hawaii Kai Burger + Cajun fries
    John V.

    $30 for a large burger and fries combo is insane (the 7 ounce patty). To be clear, they make a great burger and have lots of good specialty burger options - but you can get a good burger at plenty of places in Hawaii. It's just not worth coming here.

    Supposed to be well done
    Kainani K.

    I placed a takeout order for a bigger combo well done with cheese, fries and a mini Kona coffee shake, and a double burger well done with side fries. My husband went to pick up our order and was told it's being worked on. However, he noticed a bag sitting on the counter and asked if that was his order; it was. The food was just sitting there waiting. When my husband came home I opened my container to find a burger with no cheese, little sauce and it was basically rare.. some parts were medium rare but it was not well done as requested. The fries were super hard, and tasted like they were fried in old grease or fried twice; it was not good. The star of my meal was the Kona Coffee Shake.. it was absolutely delicious! My husband's burger had little to no sauce and one patty was medium and the other was rare. He knows I don't eat my burgers rare so he gave me his patty that was cooked medium. His fries were also hard and didn't taste good, which was unfortunate since they cost $7 for a large. If you eat at this location I highly advise you dine in so you can bring your concerns up immediately. We did a takeout because my husband had to leave to work shortly after dropping my food off.

    This is genuinely one of the grimiest places I have seen in Oahu yet. Drink machine absolutely disgusting and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ages. Food all over the kitchen floor in sight with workers just literally standing there instead of picking it up. Had already paid for my food before I noticed otherwise I would have never tried the food. This place is literally a health hazard and wouldn't be surprised if I got food poisoning. My burger was also foul.

    Ube special drink for the month.  We'll have to get another soon.

    Food was perfect after a long day and we did not want to cook. Mahalo. Service was super fast at 5:15pm on a Saturday.

    Been watching people do takeout and the burgers looked frighteningly large. Finally had the hunger and courage to stop. Ordered the Kailua to go and I thought it was pricey but pretty good. Nice part is they have parking and it's close to where I live. The girl behind the counter was friendly and helpful. Given it was my first time I needed patience and assistance, lol.

    #1 Big 5oz Burger , Teri burger
    Emily L.

    Went at 8 pm on a Sunday night, and it was surprisingly pretty busy! This location has a parking lot which was very convenient. Decided to dine in, so we got the #1 and also a Teri burger with a side of a large fry. The employees were really nice and helpful at the front. After a little bit of a wait, we got our food. The burgers were delicious. I always get the Teri burger because of the flavor and the sauce. The large fry came with a lot, and could barely finish it. Overall this location was great and I would come here again!

    #2 Bigger 7oz Burger
    Silvina C.

    How I'm going to start my review, I was craving a nice juice burger, teddy's burgers never disappointed me until now, I got the original 2 combo, medium well, no pickles no sauce. I was excited about that I'm getting a nice treat for myself, I got home and oh boy I got the wrong burger, sauce and extra pickles, cold fries and some burn pieces of and old fries, tiny portion by the way this is a 18 dollars burger, no tomatoes, no onions, I felt robed. Husband eat the burger, he told me I'm sorry, but the burger was awful. I don't know if I ever going back to this location. Service was ok, the place is ok with some tables there.

    The Kaneohe burger was delicious. It goes great with chocolate peanut butter shake and tater tots. Service was great. Plenty of table to dine in.

    #2 Bigger 7oz Burger with onion rings
    Nolan A.

    Service was good, the person taking my order was friendly and able to answer my question. I haven't been to teddy's in over 5 years. I got my usual bigger 7oz burger with onion rings and it brought back memories. Same classic taste I remember. Burger was decent well seasoned and a little wet. Definitely had to wash my hands after I was done eating. Craving satisfied!

    Umami Fries and Nom Nom Burger.
    Eric L.

    Got take out. So pretty what to expect dine in anyway. Grab food from the counter. Bring it to your table. Eat. And throw it away. Parking is a big lot that is shared with Dominos and other shops next to it. So plenty. Service is quick and simple. You can either order online like I did. Or at the counter. Food I would say an average burger, but still tasty. Made to the perfect doneness. The fries are decent. If you are looking for for a quick filling burger without all the razzle dazzle. I would recommend trying here.

    Haven't been to Teddy's in years! I didn't see my go-to on the menu, a blue cheese burger. It's been too long I'm sure lol. The cashiers were nice and patient when we were deciding out burgers. We got a Kaneohe Burger, an Aiea Burger, and a Teri burger and a side of fries and onion rings. Tip: you can ask for ketchup packets. All the burgers are cooked medium, which I like. I'm sure if you ask for well done, they might cook it for you. The Teri burger was good and not super sweet. My mom loved it. The Kaneohe Burger was pretty good. Regular burger with avocado. I just missed the blue cheese burger lol.

I know what you're thinking, grilled cheese ? Seriously ? Out of the food in Hawaii this is one thing you choose to try for dinner ? And I would say yes every time. This grilled cheese has a special place in my food palette. I have not found another grilled cheese anywhere else in all the places I have been at that replicates this delicious flavor and taste. It was so good that I end up coming back for 4 days straight my stay in Hawaii ! I had the following below: *PATTY - 5/5 - It is the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life ! It has a nice tasty beef patty, 4 cheeses (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, American) Caramelized onions, Bacon and Aioli sauce ! It was boasting with flavor ! Bread was soft, cheeses were boasting with flavor, aioli sauce was amazing. I really wish i paired this with their tomato dip ! I can only imagine how much this would've complimented the grilled cheese. The service was exceptional ! The establishment is a small so be sure to eat this on the go or they have small tables set up if you'd like to eat there !

We ordered the Aloha…read moresandwich and a classic grilled cheese with jalapeños and onions, and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches came out quickly, were perfectly toasted, and had so much gooey, melted cheese. All of the toppings worked really well together and made every bite flavorful. Another big plus is that this was one of the few places open late at night, which made it a great option after a long day. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to find an open table since there's limited seating. Other than that, I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it!

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!

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.
