As usual, a fantastic burger! Cooked to order (med-rare), nice thick, tender, and juicy patties. You can only have two patties on the bun because it's too big to fit in your mouth. Had to eat the third by itself. Can't say it enough. Best burger, best value in town! read more

Amazing service and one of the best burgers you'll ever have! Was going to order a single, but the cashier convinced me to get a double. Well worth it! Super juicy burgers and amazingly crispy shoe string fries! The best burger you'll get at a quick service place in Kona! Well worth a stop if you want a classic burger. None of this smash burger hype. 5/5 read more

Burgers were great size. You get to choose from a variety of cheese and the fries come with a special sauce. The sauce is an acquired taste for sure, but you can also ask for other sauces. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get your order. Smaller location but easy enough to get in and out. read more

We really enjoyed our burgers and the fries are excellent and worth getting. We got fresh pineapple on our burgers. Everything was fresh and really good. Messy of course. We didn't wait more than 25 minutes for food and the lady at the register was friendly. read more

This is hands down the best burger I've ever had in my life. I love, love, love that they source their ingredients locally. I had the cheeseburger with mushrooms tonight while son had the double decker with bacon and jalapeños. We agreed this place is DA BEST! read more

We stumbled upon Ulimate Burger when doing a Target run, and it was the one of the best places we ate in Kona! I had the Ultimate Cheeseburger with a side of french fries, and I was SO surprised with how delicious it was! The meat tasted amazing, and all the toppings were fresh. I noticed that they advertised their use of grass-fed Big Island beef and organic produce from Big Island farms, which reflected in the quality of their food. I would definitely eat here again! Vibe: The restaurant had tons of indoor seating. Service was quick and the workers were all friendly and helpful. Parking: The shopping center has free parking lot with lots of stalls available. read more

One of the BEST fish burgers ive had in my life. Burger was grilled with toasted buns. Fish was served medium rare with Chipotle mayo. Right amount of onions and tomato as well. Wish I got 2 it was that good. If you get one make sure to get fries or a salad on the side. Might need it if its your first meal of the day or you are having a late lunch. read more

Ultimate Burger - Triple Ultimate Double Decker 3x3 - Burgers Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

There's plentiful seating inside to enjoy your burger there. Service was friendly! Ordered a cheeseburger and fries to-go a few weeks ago and ate at the beach. Took about 10-15 min to get my order. I sooo enjoyed the burger and fries--even though it wasn't as fresh as it would've been eating at the restaurant. Burger was juicy, sauce was just right and the toppings like lettuce, tomatoes and onions were perfect. Would (and WILL definitely) go back. read more

We visited on a Friday for a late dinner and it was packed! Although it took a while to order and receive our food, it was well worth the wait. I appreciate that most of the ingredients are locally sourced, supporting local farmers. This was surprisingly one of the top meals I had on my visit to the island. The price is unbeatable for what you get and the burgers were delicious. Also the fries were a 10/10 and the house-made garlic aioli dipping sauce was bomb! I noticed the staff were all hardworking and young and I knew they'd throw down in the kitchen and they definitely did. Highly recommend you try this place out, and if you're on a crunch for time-you can order ahead online! read more

Can I be honest cousins... the burger was trash... the fries... super thin and cooked in dirty grease.... Like I had high hopes for this place... save your tummy and just go to mcds! 1/5 it was just boring and not great. Edited to add... I asked for medium well and I got medium... its was sooooo red! Just no! And the chili fries.... If you like watery chili go ahead and order it. Sorry.... read more

Best burger on da rock. Get any kine burger ya want, don't matter if it's beef, fish, chicken whatever. Add some avo to that bad boy + fries and their secret sauce, that's mando. read more

We stopped by tonight after arriving into the airport late. The burger was almost inedible, the fries were over fried. Would not recommend.

Very very very good Grass Fed Burger with Fresh cut fries. Price was great, but so was the burger! If you're in Kona step away from the strip and come by this strip mall area and get a great burger! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff and free to park!! Says Hawaii Best Burger for last several years, and it did not disappoint read more

If you're in the mood for a burger and are picky about how you would like it to be then this is your spot. You are greeted with friendly service asking you how you would like it prepared. The portion sizes are worth the price and the burgers are flavorful and juicy, perfect to my liking. It's a busy spot but you won't be disappointed. read more

Burgers had absolutely no flavor at all, as if the burgers were not seasoned and we were eating plain cooked beef. We got kids burgers and a cheese burger. My other half's burger had flavor but it was because he ordered a burger with a bunch of things in the burger which is what made it seem as if the burger was tasty. We got these last night at 7:30ish. We have had diarrhea for going on 15 hours now. Completely ruined our hotel stay and our plans. read more

They were sold out of fish when we went. Really disappointed by the dairy free options. They advertise there are vegan options which is not really the case. They have no vegan buns or sauces besides ketchup so the only option was a veggie patty in a lettuce wrap, very dry and basically inedible. Was really interested in the mushroom sandwich which they cannot do dairy free. read more

Lotsa parking, friendly service, fresh food and reasonable prices. On our last day in Kona we stumbled upon this restaurant. Interior is neat and more ordering than seating on your own. The ladies at the register were helpful describing the burgers and options. Everything is made to order and they cook your burger upon request and according to your preference on the doneness. Two burgers and a side of fries came out to $28 which is very reasonable for locally sourced ingredients. My ultimate cheeseburger with bacon had a nice healthy patty with fresh vegetables. The first bite tasted so juicy and fresh. The ultimate hamburger was consistently the same and impressed us with the flavors of the grill. Everything was so delicious. The fries were cooked crunchy, salty and not overly dry. Definitely a yummy treat for the tummy with so many flavors. read more

Best. Burger. Ever. Seriously. You must go. The fries. The lemonade. The iced green tea. But the BURGER! You can watch the cook hand pat and season the patty. The bun was toasted just right. Missing it now read more

About eight minutes after placing my order at the front desk, I was served an amazingly delicious. Staff works quickly to assist you ordering your meal to include giving options on the temperature of your burger.

Ultimate Burger - Burgers Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

This place is becoming our lunch stop before heading for the airport. It's a small place in the Kona Commons Shopping Center off Makala Blvd serving grass fed beef burgers. I ordered an Ultimate Cheeseburger with pepperjack cheese, without pickles or sauce, cooked medium ($10.99) with an order of Ultimate Fries ($4.75) and a large fountain drink ($3.09). The burger was cooked perfectly, and IMO is one of the best cheeseburgers available at a fast-food location anywhere in Hawaii. It doesn't need any sauce ... You can taste the beef. I can't say the same for the fries; they're not crispy enough for me. I'm going to give UB 3.5 stars because $23.27 is a bit pricy for a burger, (soggy) fries and drink. Had the fries been crispy, I would have rated UB 4. read more

We LOVE this place! Hadn't been in 8 years or so and still awesome! Service is quick, plenty of seats inside or outside. Inside feels like a true burger place! Their Burgers - no matter which creation you choose - are packed with such flavor. Cooked to your preference - which is great! They are SO juicy and seasoned to perfection! A really tasty burger! We do hope they will offer a smash burger one day. They lost a burger sale in our group because she can't eat thick burgers. The french fries were similar to shoestrings fries, could have eaten the whole basket myself lol!! Just the right amount of salt and cooked perfectly! This place is a MUST try! Lots of different choices! So happy they were still there! read more

Not the fastest service for a burger joint, but the wait is worth it. The burger is delicious! The fries and special sauce they serve with them are delectable! I would recommend avoiding peak hours as the wait may be long. read more

This was the best burger we've had in a long time! A nice surprise while making a Target run on vacation. Well-seasoned, cooked to order to perfection, fresh toppings, fresh delicious bun. Simple but perfect. The meat just tastes amazing! The fries were also good, shoestring type served with yummy fry sauce (aioli). Service was friendly and upbeat, the indoor space has lots of tables, surf channel on tv and good music. Tables available outside too. If this is where I lived, this is where I would come every time for a super delicious burger! read more

I love how their menu is set up. Pretty simple to do...You pick a burger and toppings. Man our burgers were delicious!!! We had fries on the side and used the aioli sauce for both the burgers and fries. YUMMY! Customer service was very pleasant and the girl taking our order was very happy to help us first time Ultimate Burger buyers. read more

Pretty decent sized burgers but fries aren't included and they were cold. Nothing else read more

I like that they use grass-fed beef and local ingredients. They cook the burgers to order as well. The French fries are super good with the burger sauce. Ask for a side of the burger sauce instead of aioli that comes with the fries. I wish this place would offer gluten free buns as an option. It's such an easy way to gain more customers. The buns can be kept frozen and used ordered with burgers. I asked for my burger to be lettuce wrapped as the menu offered, but it was just a meat patty on top of a piece of lettuce. I had to use a fork and knife to eat it. A gluten free bun would be much preferred. read more

Good service, chill vibes, but it was pretty pricey for okay food. I ordered the naked burger & added cheddar and avocado, along with fries and a drink. My total was $20+. The meat quality is definitely good but it lacked flavor to me unfortunately. I can only taste the over toasted buns instead. I think my fries were overdone and I barely had any. read more

Nailed it... I think it's all about timing. We caught it pre-lunch and everything was cherry. Previously, it's been hit or miss, but very much hit this time. double lava burgers, single fry, action. gal behind the counter could have been a little more chipper, but the burgers delivered and that was the point. lava burger was ACTION! read more

Food here is so amazing especially the lava burger. One of my favorites , so much I've had it two nights in a row.

Great local burger spot! The vibe was awesome, with reggae music playing and the surf channel on the TVs. We ordered our food to-go, and while it took a bit of time to be ready, it was well worth the wait. (Next time, I'll call ahead.) The local grass-fed beef Ultimate Cheeseburger with bacon and sautéed mushrooms was fantastic--a thick, perfectly cooked medium-rare patty. The fries were homemade, skinny and crisp, and seasoned just right. The aioli dipping sauce that came with the fries was a delicious touch. My husband had the double cheeseburger, which was massive! He ended up saving one patty for lunch the next day. The lemonade was super refreshing--not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. All in all, a great experience--definitely a place to return to! read more

Locally sourced food prepared daily. The freshness of it all comes with every bite. Reasonably priced but it is a la carte so be mindful. You'll wish you another stomach once you're full. Go and try them, you'll be glad you did. My next visit to Kona, I'm going back! read more
