Ah, W&M, how we missed you! I'm so glad you're still around. Given the number of long-time business that have closed down for one reason or another, it was wonderful to find W&M still going strong. As usual parking is a little challenging since there's only about 5 stalls but the service is quick, so the cars move in and out pretty fast. This is one of the best places for a teri burger. Double Onion Royal is my fave. Their fries are those thick crinkle ones. So good! FPO loves the Green River. We took our feast to Wailupe Beach Park and scarfed. Good times! read more

I don't remember W&M burger being THIS good. The reason I decided to revisit was because I saw their guava cheesecake post on Instagram and lowkey just wanted to come for the dessert...but ended up ordering all kinds of other things. I don't know who needs to hear this but In-N-Out is just not that good lol. W&M does it super simple yet so good. I got a cheeseburger with mayo and my bf got the HAL special. Both were 10/10. Fries were also golden brown and super crispy--didn't even need sauce or ketchup. We also picked up a couple guava cheesecakes and pumpkin crunch, which didn't disappoint. We came on a Saturday and there were a few people in front of us, but the food came out super fast. We also witnessed the new mural being painted across their wall, which is a work of art in itself. Sorry, didn't get too many good photos because I ate before my camera did (and didn't even get a picture of my dessert). read more

Haven't been here for quite a while so was excited to eat their burger and fries. I ordered the Royal Hamburger and fries for myself and 2 Plain Hamburgers with Lettuce and fries for my husband. We were disappointed because the burgers didn't have that bbq taste we're used to and it also wasn't hot...it was room temperature so we didn't enjoy it. Another thing we didn't care for was the fries. It was hot but hard and salty. Didn't seem like the same fries they used to have. First time experiencing this from here. Just wondering...was there a change in ownership? Not sure if I'll be craving for their burger and fries for a while. So sad... read more

I have had this place on my radar for a while now, just never made it out to Kaimuki to try it. That ended today and the food did not disappoint =D. The Order: Hal's Special (Bbq Burger and Teri Beef with lettuce , tomatoes , onions , and mayo) and crispy fries on the side The fries were nice and crunchy and soft in the middle. The burger what an umami meat explosion. The burger is nice and soft, the Teri beef so sweet, add the melted cheese, nice crunch of the lettuce and onions , and juicy Ed's of the tomato. Left me with one happy tummy. It was a rainy day so I was lucky to go when no one was there, so the food was ordered and the burger came quick freshly cooked and hot. They are located just after City Mill (east side) and on the Mauka side of the road). So if coming from the west, you could miss it as the storefront is tucked in with a few stalls. I will definitely be back again. read more

Are they closing?!? Someone said W&M is closing! That can't be! Say it ain't so! Stopped in for my regular order of Onion Royal, fries and crab salad. The burger is so flavorful and the veggies are fresh and crisp. Ketchup mayo and relish. Ahhh, heaven. Crab salad is creamy but not overmayoed. (Is that a word?! I suppose only in the 808 it is!) Moving on, fries have change over the months/years, more than likely due to rising costs. All good. I do, however, miss being able to order "soft fries". IYKYK. Some other places will make. I usually order 2; one for the car and one for the meal. So happy! I hope W&M stays open. I've been a patron for 50+ years, since small kid time. read more

When I was a child my grandma would buy me teriyaki burgers from here all the time as they lived in Palolo. I remember really liking it, but have never been here myself. I finally came here recently. It's a small take out spot with six parking stalls in the front. You order at the window and they call your number when your food is ready. They were busy. We waited about 25 minutes for our burgers and fries. I went up to the window to place my order. I asked if they still sell teriyaki burgers as it wasn't on the menu. The cashier gave me a puzzled look and said that they're all teriyaki burgers, lol. That would explain it. We ordered the HAL special $10.70 (royal hamburger with bbq steak, lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese) and Onion royal steak $8.85 (bbq steak, lettuce, onion and cheese. We got two orders of fries $3.45 each and a large green river $3.75. The burgers were good. I love the sauce that they put on it. It balanced out the teriyaki flavor. The fries were fresh out of the fryer crispy and not too oily. My only complaint was that the burgers were on the small side. read more

Aloha Ahiahi, from Hawai'i Nei. \000/ A "belated Review" from last yr; 9/2024, that I stumbled upon a lil while ago, sitting in my *Google* pge & I assumed I shared it here on yelp, but I don't see it posted to my "Yelp" pge.... Iconic BBQ Cheeseburger Eatery, from back in the 70's, that my Parents used to bring us, my (3 Sisters) & I here to eat at. The prices sure have gone up here a lot, but I'll still Continue to drop on by here, every now & then!! They now sell Desserts here too!! I've tried their *Pumpkin Crunch* the last time I swung on by here to pick up some Lunch, the *Pumpkin Crunch" was Ono, Costs was, a lil Under? $6.00. My total for my Lunch that day, several days ago (9/2024), in the Beginning of Sept, was A whopping......$23.00+.. .I ordered a BBQ Cheeseburger, French Fries, Order of Crab Salad, & the Newly Dessert, (Pumpkin Crunch), Hana hou, it was really Tasty, Fresh & Onolicious. Lol Ooh, I ordered a Diet Drink too. Doh. Haha . If I didn't order that dessert/Pumpkin Crunch, then my total for my Lunch that day would've been, less than, $20.00, right Next time, I'll just order my Usual, && not order, A drink (H2o is always better to drink), maybe, just maybe, not Order their *Crab Salad*, then for sure my total for my Lunch, SB way less, than my $23.00 Crazy total from my recent visit from; 9/2024. Lastly, the BBQ Sandwiches from here are Delicious, they sell BBQ Steak Sandwiches also!! You tell them how you want your Sandwich made, with what or what not u would like in your BBQ Delish Burgers! I like the Fresh Fries from here also, although, the Sz of your FF aren't a big Sz., for the prices you'll pay for your FF here! Try their, *Crab Salad*, I grew up Eating their Crab Salad from here, I'm pretty sure it's Imitation Crab that's inside of their *Crab Salad*. Prkg here is tight, I've lucked out the many, many times I've swung on by here after my Docs Appointment. Their would always be (1) prkg Stall left & I would be SO Hau'oli :). I have eaten all of my FFries from here (while driving back home), one time in the past, because I was hungry & my F-Fries were still Hott, yummy!! Lol. Also, we/I have also parked @City Mill, if I can't find prkg @W&M. I hope my ka'a doesn't ever get towed from City Mill, yikes!!! Aloha from the "808". read more

De-lish! Definitely recommend ordering online to minimize your wait. Super limited parking. So I always like to go with someone & have them drop me off if there is no parking. I love places like this that have been around forever with a loyal following and great food. They have a great vibe. Their team is super nice and although there may be a wait, everyone is super patient. All because of the star which is the food. We got the deluxe burger, the deluxe steak burger, fries and crab salad look forward to returning! read more

W & M Bar-B-Q Burger - Pick up area - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fries were not too oily. Lightly salted. And had a nice crunch with a little bit of chew The Mac salad had the right amount of mayonnaise. I love the bits of peas throughout. The Hal burger, kind of reminded me of soft jerky between two buns. Came with lettuce onion and tomatoes, love the freshness it brings. You get the choice to add condiments: ketchup, mustard, relish. Lived in Palolo my whole life and this is the first time I've eaten here. I always passed by this place. This place gets my approval for surviving this long despite pandemic and other economic hardships. Although I'm a little sore I haven't eaten here before when prices were lower but still for $19 you get those three items mentioned above. Portions were just right. Parking is small and little tight but luckily there were open stalls when I went to pickup my phone order. Also great service. read more

Such a popular local business that's been around for so many years. We were in Kaimuki today, and when my husband asked if I wanted a W & M burger, I couldn't answer fast enough!! Yummy teriyaki meat/teriyaki burger combo and fries is what we always have. It's so ONO!! (delicious) If you're really hungry, you may want to order two. They're not huge burgers, but definitely packed with flavor. *Parking is limited and it's always busy and timing is everything. As I sat in my car waiting, I noticed several people walking over from the City Mill parking nextdoor. Seemed as though they did a phone order, and were in and out in a few minutes. If you order there, you may need to wait 15-20 minutes, depending how busy they are. Check them out, never disappoints!! read more

First in line... A highly suggested thing to do here at W&M as we were blown how everyone quickly started piling in one by one long before they were open at 9am. Now why were we here...? Lucky Nadine has done it again winning not just the burger of our choice but fries and drink as well and who can't say no to that...moi! What a way to start my personal day (what I call my day off) with the breakfast of champions W&M. I got the Tomato HAL...no onion for me, fries and a large green river...classic love! Everything was perfect freshly made and as we dove in to the Dessert Trio (banana cream tart, pumpkin crunch, panna cotta) each mini/half the size and was just so yummy each with a delightful twist. The vibe is pretty much take out though there's a ledge for you to enjoy for a quick bite. Thank you! read more

The flavor is good but what happened to you guys? I was first in line as a walk in, others were telephone orders and yet I waited 30 minutes for two burgers one fry and two drinks. The burgers are dry and skinny. They don't look homemade. So prepackaged. The fries are nothing special. The desserts however were very good but expensive. No where for the seniors to sit while you wait. So disappointed. read more

This is an OG spot and if you know you know haha. I grew up in Pālolo so naturally we'd find ourselves picking up lunch or after school "snack" from here. Their staff is always friendly and the food is always hot and made to order. The only issue, the parking is kind of tough since they're always so busy! This is an old school mom and pop joint so you know you're getting some solid grinds. Oh! I almost forgot to mention, the desserts here are winner! read more

If you want a soft & tender Teri beef sandwich , this is the place to go. I get the Royal cheesesteak & the Royal cheeseburger & side of fries & they have Coke products as well as green river... They are known for their old school good Teri sauce that they use for their sandwiches. Parking is a little tight, but it's worth it. They take phone orders which is what I do, as they make everything to order & they do get busy during lunch time. So when In town, this is a great spot for a quick lunch. read more

Forever a favorite. Years later and they're still pumping out great tasting deliciousness! Appreciate the option to call in or order online but a good old walk up order is serviced just as quick. Only gamble about this establishment is parking but they're quick and everyone is in and out. If you haven't gone here yet, what's stopping you? Hurry up! :) read more

W & M has been around for a minute. Everything here is pretty decent. Burgers, dogs, fries, crab "flavored" mac salad. Burgers tasty but a little thin. Mr. Chow recommends getting the double. Hopefully a fresh drop of fries as well. If your parking skills are limited, good luck. read more

Old school burgers that still taste as amazing as the last time I had them. Whenever in town it's a must to get a Hals special! We decided to add bacon to our order, and I think that's my new favorite way to order it. Parking lot gets packed, so go early. I wasn't really happy with the fries we ordered though, it was either extra crispy or they premade them and they sat so they were very hard. Overall pretty pricey, but definitely a nice treat here and there. read more

When people tell me that W & M has been around for over 70 years, I still can't believe it. I've only known it to be located on Waialae Ave and not at their OG spot. When you think about it, they've been doing burgers for over 7 decades, so they must know burgers, right??? Yes, they do. There is a reason for the line outside of hungry customers. They have everything from their signature Royal hamburger, cheeseburger all the way to the top, their Hal Special, which is their signature Royal burger topped with onolicious BBQ Steak. You can have it with lettuce tomatoe, onion, and cheese or take any away. It's all up to you. For those who don't want a burger, they also have hotdogs, and for you non eating red meat, they have the morning star veggie burger. Remember back in the day the drunk green river? They have it here. Now that brings back memories. They also sell dessert like pumpkin crunch, white chocolate creme brulee and other things. The only downside besides waiting in line is that they only have 6 parking stalls. Might be good to come with a friend who can drive around the block and get you when you have the goods. If waiting in line isn't your thing, you can also call in your order. What I kind of noticed is that you might have to wait longer if you were to stand in line and order. Either way you are going to get some good grinds! read more

So we had a local recommend this joint to us. We wanted to try out the teriyaki-glazed burger, but note, most of the burgers have this glaze! If this isn't your vibe, ask which ones are not. But the burgers were so delicious! It is a drive-up establishment, so we are or burgers and fries in the car. Our kids loved it. We let them order the Green River drink, which tastes like a melted green Otter Pop. We loved our experience here! read more

To me this spot is like yeah I've tried it before but wouldn't go out of my way to go here! They definitely not doing anything wrong here, if anything they doing it a little bit different! The burgers are good and tasty, the fries is just fries but the difference is in the desserts and the crab salad! Service was fast and friendly and the wait for food was pretty quick too! Keep up the great grinds! read more

This burger joint has been around for decades, but there's been a recent surge in social media coverage about it and we made an effort to try it. It's in a neat old building directly behind City Mill in Kaimuki; it's so easy to miss I never saw it in over 10 years of driving by. They have dedicated parking that's easy to navigate; it's locked with a chain when closed. Our first attempt to come was during open hours but they were closed anyway, so we tried again a week later. You should note their hours are restrictive around lunch only, so if you're hoping for this for dinner you have to get it in the afternoon. Their menu and story of the business are on the windows in front. It's a simple menu of BBQ burgers, fries, hot dogs, and drinks. We each ordered a different burger and got some sides to share. Prices are super reasonable here; for four of us it was less than $40 for everything. Burgers are cooked well done but still moist as they should be. Service was fast and efficient, the order was ready quickly and we were on our way. Everything tasted good, we enjoyed our meal but felt portions were small but they seem consistent with what they've always done. They have a 60s drive in look and taste. If you're craving a locally owned simple burger and fries, this one is worth trying. read more

A great hole in the wall place with its only con being the parking situation. Their burgers are good - the Tri burger was the right amount of sweetness. The green river drink tastes like a lemon/lime Powerade, pretty good. The service is great, we ordered around 12:10, get our food around 12:25 pm... not bad considering we ordered a total of 4 burgers, a hot dog, 2 orders of fries and 2 drinks. We were so hungry that we didn't take pictures, next time! read more

I had a light lunch so felt hungry for dinner early. I got to W & M just before they closed. They were out of fries which was disappointing but I did get The Hal which is their Royal hamburger with added teriyaki beef which they call BBQ steak. I got it with the works. The service was good and relatively fast since I was the only one there lol. There are no tables so take your food elsewhere to eat. The Hal was filling and the Teri beef added even more flavor. It was on the sweet side but it was sliced thin and stayed in the burger without being pulled out with each bite. The lettuce was crisp and reminded me of a certain well known CA burger chain. The burger patty was on the thin side. Overall the Hal was a filling and flavorful burger! I wish they were open until early evening hours so you can get dinner from there. 4:30 pm is a bit early so plan on going there for lunch only. It did work out for me today though as I was hungry for an early dinner. read more

So good, I almost didn't want to post this because I don't want the line getting any longer . If they've got the custard dessert--don't hesitate, they don't make it often. Even if there's a line, don't worry--they move quick. Just be courteous about how you park. The burgers are good. Not try and not too much to where you cannot drive after. You can tell they really take pride in what they do. Aunty even ran outside to fix a customer's soda order and insisted he keep the extra one--now that's service! Definitely one of those real mom-and-pop spots that still care. Back when I went to Sacred Hearts, they used to throw in an extra burger for me when I didn't have enough money. Never forgot that kindness. Still the same warm-hearted folks, same ono food. read more

I was in the area and there were only two cars in the parking lot so I had to turn inside. This is the home of the original Teri burger on Oahu. Still has the same great taste and flavor.

Being away from home made me crave the old school food. I was happy to hear that they were in the same location, but the parking... man, it's still terrible, but it's okay! I got there about 10:30 am - all the stalls were available. I came just before the rush did. Thank goodness! I grabbed food for my family and it was quite a list! -1Royal Burger -3 Hal Specials -3 French Fries -2Cheeseburgers (for the keiki) Royal and Hal are popular so I'd recommend those if you don't know what to order.

Its good. You won't regret it. Staff is very friendly and efficient! You can even order in advance! Deluxe beef was DELICIOUS, although marinade a touch sweeter than desired.

W&M has been fueling my family for 4 generations and has never missed but since I've left 10 years ago I've not gotten my fix nor an update on what's been up with it as everytime I come back and wanna go it ended up being closed... I thankfully can say that on top of still remaining my favorite burger and fries spot on the rock this place has arguably the best desserts too! The Hal special, fries and large green river have always been a staple for me since I first came growing up coming back from the beach or a solid test and to now add dessert to the equation puts this place over the top. I had the strawberry panna cotta with fruit and whipped cream and while the rest of the offerings like ube cheesecake looked hammahs the fruit sang to me and was well worth it. This thing was huge and not runny with a nice rich vanilla flavor and topping it off with strawberry compote syrup and fresh strawberries made this pop like no other. While I've had panna cottas before it was mostly crispy from a flambé so the flavor profile was different. I'd easily come back and make the journey into town for this alone but everything together for 25 bucks and change is a steal in this economy and I'm so happy this place hasn't gone under and is still happily slammed when they're open. It'll easily remain my go to as long as I'm on the rock and I'm sure yours too! read more

The best home made desserts in Kaimuki. Try the panna cotta. It's the bomb! So silky smooth and creamy. Topped off with a strawberry gelee that compliments the delicious creaminess perfectly.
