Everything about this little shop is awesome. I believe the owner was there to take our order and the menu is pretty straight forward. At the time, he stated that him and his partner were in a competition to see how many triples they could sell, but figured I'd keep that in the back of my mind for our next visit. We came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend's coworker and I'm glad we came! The burgers and fries were made fresh. There are only a hand full of tables inside and a small bar area, but there is also outdoor seating outside, too! A neat fact is that there were pictures posted from when the shop first opened up and to see They Daley as a fixture in Chinatown is amazing since they've stuck around and adapted to the development around. The burger was delicious, too. They have an aioli sauce that was good with diced up pickles. Usually I request no pickles but the small bursts really added to the texture and feel of the burger overall. 10/10 would come again! read more

This was my first visit to The Daley in years ... I love their burgers, and most time their fries, but my last order was left wanting. I'm pleased to report that this latest order contained a perfectly prepared burger and a bag of crispy fries (as ordered). The remaining nitpicks were: 1) having to wait an additional 10 minutes past the time the order was supposed to be ready, 2) paying $6 for a bag of fries. Increase the price of the burger by $1 and reduce the price of the fries. Yes, the total would be the same but the value would be where it belongs. In any case, $10 is money well spent for a great burger. read more

Burger: 4 stars Timing was horrible: cooked the burger before they dropped the fries. The burger is sitting waiting for fries getting cold ... we finished our burger and then they finally served the fries NOT PREPARED Service: less the zero -- 2 people behind the counter.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I love the Daley for burgers and their fries. Located in Chinatown so parking can be tricky but there are always paid lots and structures that you can park in. Scored street parking on a Saturday mid-afternoon and ordered takeout via Toast. Toast gives an excellent estimated wait time that's accurate. Inside there is limited seating at the table and the bar and I think there is outdoor seating but no alcoholic beverages are allowed outside. They serve alcohol inside but unsure what kind. Their smash burger is so good and hits every time. It tastes fresh and I like the sauce they add to it. Fries are great too and not too soggy or crispy. I would recommend trying this place out! read more

Fire Just two dudes in their rhythm making burgers and fries. They take a bunch of orders, then cook a bunch at once. High top tables and some seating by the fryer, or paper bags for takeout. Smash burgers with grilled onions and melted American cheese on a potato bun with "boss sauce" Boss Sauce think mayo, mustard, relish? IDK - it's a secret! It's Chinatown, so parking and unicorns are one and the same. Save yourself the stress, and just park at the "Kekaulike Courtyards Municipal Parking" on Maunakea, it's like a 3 minute walk. read more

The Daley - Daley Burger and Crinkle Cut Fries - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you're looking for a good, simple smash burger The Daley is my No. 1 go-to spot. Located in Chinatown, you can find street parking if you're lucky or park in one of the many parking structures around the area. They can get busy so I recommend ordering ahead online or going during non-peak hours. There is seating inside which is thankfully air conditioned because it can get hot with the afternoon sun and seating outside. Their menu is very simple, consisting of either a single or double beef patty, a Beyond "Veggie" patty option, fries and drinks. They also have a water station available. Their crinkle cut fries are hot, crispy and lightly salted. The burger itself is simple, no additional add ons just the crispy caramelized patty, cheese and house made boss sauce. Although simple in construction, the burger packs a lot of flavor and fills your burger cravings. read more

How can a burger look so good but lack so much flavor?! Well this is it. Not sure if I just got a bad batch but it definitely was pretty bland, even the fries. First and last time coming here.

They have one main item on the menu and they do it well. These are the best smash burgers. They are flavorful, saucy and filling. The fries are good too. If you do happen to eat in grab a beer. They also have amazing chocolate chip cookies that I believe is from a pizza place nearby. Definitely try them if smash burgers are your thing. We have been consistently going for over 2 years now. read more

We tried to visit The Daley this evening and walked in at 6:04 pm, only to be told they were already closed--even though Yelp and Google listed their hours as open until 8:00 pm. It was frustrating to make the effort to come by based on the posted hours and then be turned away just minutes after 6. If the restaurant closes earlier on Sundays, that information should be clearly and accurately reflected online to avoid wasting customers' time. We were genuinely interested in trying this spot, but the lack of accurate hours left a disappointing first impression. read more

2.5 Cozy ambiance(limited seating) with good music. Little street parking unless you pay and walk from a lot. The menu is very small, nothing to customize. No shakes and missing a lot of condiments making the burgers lack flavor. Their "boss" sauce is just tartar sauce and relish. They do give you a lot of fries when you dine in tho. The 3 workers were nice and hard working. read more

The Daley - Double Daley burger and fries. - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Simple. Modern. Delicious. Small menu, but they do everything on it very exceptionally well (which is burger and fries). Very affordable for food in Hawaii!! Meat was not dry, wonderfully smashed and mixed with a perfect bun and sauce with grilled onions. Parking is street. There's no restroom but plenty of water, there were two beer options, and a cookie dessert option. I'd go back. Understated chic burger done exceptionally well. And I don't even like burgers, but my boys are already asking to go back again. read more

Order at the counter, find a seat, and wait for your order to be called. Burgers are made to order. I got a single and my husband got a double. The sauce on the burger was like a thousand island, but with big pieces of pickles. I wish the ingredients of the sauce were listed, because I would have opted out of it. It was overpowering for me. The bread was soft, but with a single patty, was more bread than meat. The double meat is a better option. read more

Lowkey smashburger restaurant in Chinatown. You're greeted with relaxed lighting, house music, and the type of customer service you get in New York aka no bullshit, no small talk. The menu is straight forward with there being only one burger. They do offer customization to remove any of the ingredients including boss sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. I recommend removing the boss sauce if you're not into the taste of pickles as it's very pickle heavy. The burger was fresh and well seasoned. It hit the spot for a quality smashburger. Pro tip: Make this your last stop of the night because you will leave smelling like you've been cooking burgers all day. read more

The Daley - Cheeseburgers with a side of Crinkle Cut Fries - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The Daley is a great place for a burger. Unfortunately the prices have gone up significantly and I don't think the burgers are better or ingredients have changed prompting a price increase. A single is now $10 and a double is $15 ... up $1.50 to $2. For the price I think you can find a better value and place to support. Too bad. The service is nice and the folks friendly. read more

Excellent little smash burger and fries! Not a huge selection, but what they do, they do right! Great beers on tap too! The pilsner was fantastic! read more

Their smashburgers are so good. It's so good that it's practically the only item on the menu. Imagine opening a business and relying on that one item to drive your business. They sell the Daley Burger, the Veggie Burger, fries and drinks. The dining area is small. They have about five or six tables. They do a ton of takeout. We sat at one of the tables and dined in for about an hour. Everyone ordered the Daley Burger. I did not see one Veggie Burger being made. We got the Daley Burger $10, the Daley Burger with two patties $15 and fries $6. The potato bun is grilled. The smash patty is topped with grilled onions, American cheese and with house made Boss Sauce. The sauce is white and tasted kind of like tartar sauce. The crinkle fries were also very good. It was super crispy and not greasy at all. You order and pay at the counter. They'll call your name when your order is ready. I'll be back for another burger and fries. read more

I work downtown and have heard about the delay non-stop when I would talk about burgers, so when I got the chance to try it out, I jumped at the opportunity. The Daley is a fairly small establishment, but they also have seating out in the back. Their menu is fairly simple, and they're known for their smash burgers, so I got the Daley burger with an extra patty (double down+5). We also added fries on top as well. It is completely self-service. You go up to the counter, order, and sit around to wait and grab your food at the counter. There's a little water station for you to serve your own water as well. The wait is a big longer but fairly reasonable, like 10-15min for our order, especially as they were super busy when we came by. My coworker and I grabbed our food and ate elsewhere. The burger was good, solid, I personally felt like there wasn't anything SPECIAL about the burger, but it also was better than a typical burger. I like my burgers on the saltier side as I feel like it brings out the beefiness & umami flavor so I had to add salt myself. I heavily recommend ordering the double patty, as one would NOT be enough for me whatsoever. If you do the math, $10 for a basic, thin patty plain cheeseburger is crazy and $15 for the same but another thin patty isn't any better. If I was craving a burger and I was near I would come back, but it personally isn't a "crave-able" spot for me. read more

We came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was quite packed. We each ordered a Daley burger and shared fries. The food came out within 10-15 minutes or so which was pretty fast and it's cool how you can see them grill the burgers right in the front. The burgers were delicious! The patty was a good/decent size and I really liked the grilled onions and sauce on it as well. The fries were your average crinkle cut fries but they were still good. The restaurant itself is kinda small and you may have to wait a bit for a table to open up. Parking can be tough too since it's in Chinatown and you have to pay. Overall, a nice place to check out if you're craving smash burgers! read more

The Daley - Daley burgers and fries - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

truly, one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. They had a delicious homemade sauce. It must've been a combination of pickles, mayo, and mustard, which was absolutely delicious. The french fries were super yummy and just the right amount of crispiness. The cook was excellent and he was very accommodating. It is small little joint with about three tables. I would suggest to try. read more

Daley is one of our office go-tos for takeout. They get really busy during lunch, so we always place an online order. The order is usually ready by the time we get there and sitting on the counter. When a place only sells one item, you know they're going to do it well. I got a double down because I was extra hungry that day. I also got fries and ordered a side of boss sauce. Their boss sauce is delicious, and I would definitely recommend. Their burgers always hit the spot. It's a perfect amount of crispiness with a soft and sweet bun. I would definitely recommend the Daley if you like smash burgers. read more

@fortunefoodfinds: "This is your DALEY reminder to "JUST DO IT!" A DALEY BURGER, A DOUBLE DOWN, n' CLASSIC CRINKLE CUT FRIES from THE DALEY located in Chinatown. Their burgers continue to hit da spot. When it comes to making choices, why not!" Staff: fully staffed Interior: small, high table seating Exterior: in Chinatown HNL Wait time: 15 mins Parking: metered street Overall comments: their smash burgers have been my fave from the first time I had it. Simple, but full of flavor n' always satisfying. Pair it with their crinkle cut fries + ketchup n' it's a done deal for a complete meal. Parking can be difficult so we order to-go. Best to order online so that pick up is easy when you have another person driving around while you get your food. My 4 y/o son is really into burgers right now n' he loves the Daley burger too! read more

Wow.. very good burgers at a reasonable price. No need to describe how juicy it is... Good pairing with potato bun which they toast also. The cookie is the best thing. Not too sweet and moist. A hint of brown butter just enough of chocolate chips without being overwhelming. Only complaint which is not their fault... Parking a little tough in Chinatown. Expect the place to be packed in prime time. But they move fast The staff super friendly and helpful. Very welcoming and ask your questions! read more

Wow this place is delicious! So glad I found this gem. The Daley burger was a smash burger had a patty, cheese, and a white tangy sauce with grilled onions. I wish they sold the sauce on the side, it's incredible! The burger was the perfect size for me, and the crinkle fries were also nice and crispy as well. It's a cozy little space and the workers were quick and super efficient - no long wait! Super happy with this spot and I can't wait to come back! read more

More like a 3.5. We order ahead online and ate in the restaurant when we saw tables were available. Super clean restaurant with complimentary water keg. Fries were good - crinkled is always the best. The burger itself was ok. I wish it was a bit more smashed and crispier, but that's just my personal preference. The sauce was good. If I were to compare it, it almost tasted like a Big Mac sauce which I like. There was a lot of sauce which was kinda overpowering to the burger itself. I did get a single so maybe getting a double would balance that out. Overall though, burger was ok but would get again. I can honestly say this is my only 2nd time eating at a smash burger spot. Looking for a spot that can compare to my friends homemade one so I'm probably being bias. read more

Came on a Wednesday evening at around 7 pm. It wasn't too busy but still somewhat busy inside. We decided to dine in. I got the Daley burger with crinkle cut fries. I enjoyed the smash burger, but I think the bread to burger ratio is a little off. If coming here, I recommend getting a double patty burger since there's a lot of bread. Sauce was delicious but pretty mayo forward- reminds me of Big Mac sauce. I would return again when craving a burger and in the area. read more

Such a great smash burger! I love the flavors and how everything just melts into your mouth, it's a great combo of pickles and a mustard based sauce. So tasty! Fries are well cooked and salty, we always order online and take it to go though because there's not a ton of seating or easy parking. If you're looking for a great burger look no further, no crazy bells and whistles from the employees, they just get the job done and do it well. TIPS & TRICKS: - Seriously order online and just have your driver drop you off in the front with their hazards on. You'll literally be in and out in 10 seconds as long as your food is already cooked! read more

A good day for a smash burger! Needed a break from McD's and needed to taste real food (sorry Ronald) . The burger was tasteful and I actually like that the menu is simple. Maybe I'm biased because I also like my burgers plain I also think that tasting the meat and cheese is really all you need. All that extra stuff takes away the flavor of the burger, but go ahead and fight me on that hot take Luckily it wasn't too busy when I got there, so service and waiting time was good. The restaurant itself is clean and well kept. The only thing I would note is that they had their back patio closed today so it did get packed eventually. Not a huge problem but just know this spot is a bit intimate with limited seating! Overall, a good place to eat at. read more

"I want Smashburgers" said the hubs, I whipped out my handy dandy yelp app and found The Daley. I had also heard from other carnivores that they were a good burger joint and we headed out to downtown. Stepped in and was greeted by the cashier, and some really cool music. There are only 3 things on the menu food-wise, single, double, and plant based. We had to wait for seats to open up, and then our order was ready. The beef is from Kauai, but for me it's all about the sauce, which was quite tasty. Watching the cooks was mesmerizing, they had it down to an art buns, meats, paper, smash, cook, assemble and repeat. Decent prices, good vibes, and alcohol available. Cool. read more

Smashing it... Nothing like a good burger and here in Chinatown...Nuuanu Ave to be exact is where you can find basically the only thing that they do burgers in a spot that works with just a few seating...mine I do like to sit behind the plexiglass watching the magic happen. It's basically single, double or beyond veggie with a side of fries and/or a drink the build is simple with American cheese, onions and boss sauce which reminds me of a thousand island dressing isn't my favorite in fact it's a great burger but I need more toppings like some veggies as I don't like pickles so I ended up scraping it off but their crinkle cut fries was yummy nothing fancy as the star was the burger was nice as it was freshly made to order. Dining in your burger is presented in a basket which is nice and easy to consume and for take outs is wrapped up and placed in a it's own pouch is a genius system of simplistic and eco friendly without crushing it and an easy pic to capture without disturbing it's beauty. Ordering is easy and the staff does double duty at times but at this busy place the vibe is always so lively and fun. Thank you! read more

Super excited to try their smash burger and overall it was good. Ideally I would've gotten a double but it was already pricey for the single patty. I think it would've improved my experience getting the extra patty because without it the bun and sauce ratio was all off. Still tasty but it definitely needs to be a double.
