Glad I dropped by this spot a few minutes away from the beach. I ordered the Twin fin burger and Tsunami fries. Both packed with flavor and have island/surf themed menu items in this tiny restaurant that can seat 8 people at most. I'll definitely come back again if I get the chance! Have to add that it was a bit pricey and spent around $27 for the double patty burger and Tsunami fries. Lastly the lady wasn't really helpful when I was trying to figure out the self order kiosk. For some reason the meal options didn't match the menu on the wall.

Absolutely awesome dining experience. We were greeted by Conner who was happy, polite, helpful and very welcoming. Ordered the black bean tacos and was pleased with their appearance and blown away by their taste. Teriffic taste and very filling. Staff and welcoming and kind serving the food and drinks and then clearing the table. You can go wrong stopping at this place!

Excellent, quick service only surpassed by the food! Great Burger. A little out of the way but well worth the drive Thanks!

The retro decor of this upstairs casual restaurant is visually intriguing. We chuckled at the Alaska ad in this Hawaiian establishment. The prices were reasonable even with the mandatory 15% service charge. The Coco Freeze was on special costing a mere $3.59. Several families dined on the four picnic tables while we were there and everyone appeared to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

Wow! Seriously one of the best meals we have had on the big island. The fries are incredible and home made so you can take them away and warm them up with olive oil and still a great taste. And don’t even get me started on the ice cream… so stinken good oh my gosh. The staff was also incredible and friendly and made our little girls feel right at home. I would recommend stopping here 100%!

$55 for two tacos, small cheeseburger and coleslaw for takeout. 15% service fee added to all meals. Tacos weren’t enough to fill me up. What a rip off.

I'm only writing this review because I care about the well-being of your wallet. I have no personal vendetta against this establishment, nor the food they serve.As I bask in a glorious sunset at Spencer Beach Park, I've just finished a double cheeseburger, a small order of fries, a side of pickles, and a small soda. The food was fine, but the cost was outrageous. The grand total: $34.22.You read that right. I paid $34 for a double burger, fries, and a drink ($24.59), pickles ($4.88), and cheese ($3.21), with tax making up the difference. A few reflections:- At first, I thought I must be another victim of Joe Biden's economy, but alas, the CPI for the specific basket of items that comprised my meal was only 4.2% year-over-year.- When you pay almost $5 for pickles, your expectations are understandably high. You start dreaming of pickle spears. You'll be equally crushed when you discover you actually paid for about seven pickle slices in a small condiment cup. Yes, you're paying about 75 cents per pickle slice. Enjoy!- It's really a personal failure that when our cashier took our order, I didn't leave immediately and ensure my family's fiscal future.- The cashier will ask you if you want to tip on a takeout $34 burger combo. For a moment, I thought I was on a prank TV show. Don't be pressured.There are tons of good places to eat just 10-15 minutes south, or in Wimea, that are more in line with typical Hawaii prices for food.TL;DR:Burger: 6/10Fries: 8/100The look on your wife's face when you told her you paid $34 for this feast: priceless

Best $22 burger I have ever had - great people. Yes expensive but worth it for being so far up north on the island - I wouldn’t be a regular for the price but worth it because owners take pride in the product
