    Yes! Go here! Service is simple but kind. Food is delicious with no frills and yet unique flavor. Not a greasy burger joint but a very good local burger place worth stopping at.

    This is the quintessential burger processing mill ......... As you wait in line, it's quite apparent the regulars from the tourists (we're in that group). The staff was somewhat patient with this newbie - I finally got my order placed. It's good that we arrived early, this place can get busy and tables can be scarce. At our table was their chicken notice, see my pic. (BTW, the chickens are regulars and know the drill.) As you can see from my pic, these burgers are really cooked. They're okay. Our fried order was also okay, see my pic. The onion rings were large, as were the french fries - you'll need to salt to taste.

    Freak burgers soft bun. Yummy onion rings. Get the banana shake it's delicious. Service was pretty quick. Friendly service can sit inside or outside. Cute signs outside.

    The best burger on island, local grass-fed beef, fun lively atmosphere with outdoor seating and a view of the ocean! The manager, Ryan, was so nice.

    Bubba Burgers hit the spot! Burgers are tasty, fries were crisply, and onion rings when huge! Service was snappy! Nothing fancy, just a cool, family and friends place to enjoy great food and company!

    I was so excited, I forgot my camera was hungry!! LOL

    Very Tasty, Our favorite spot lunch so far being on Kaua'i for 5 days already! We will DEFINITELY be back before we head home! Very friendly staff and the restaurant was on smaller side but big considering most places are food trucks! We sat in a booth next to a window with an awesome breeze! Every spot outside was taken - so this place is for a HIT with the locals! The burgers come with basic which is just RIGHT for me. I appreciate that they prefer quality and making sure their customers are happy! Soooo YUMMY!

    If you come to Kauai then a trip to Bubbas is required. It is just a good basic burger place. You may have to wait but the view is worth it. Enjoy

    Food was great. Like a much higher quality five guys burger. No need to add cheese. Meat quality is awesome and local. Add order of frings and eat road side. Loved it.

    Great place to sit inside with a view of the ocean and enjoy an amazingly juicy burger. That burger went down way too easy. Loved my teriyaki burger with pineapple. Expect messy goodness and one of the juiciest burgers ever. Fries are alright, nothing special. Enjoyed the banana shake. They use the small straws but with the warm weather is sucked up easy enough. We chose to sit on the deck facing the water. It's bench seating and we even met an adorable golden retriever on the dog friendly patio. Server was friendly and shared the place has been around over 30 years.

    Nice place with open air seating so you can watch the cars go by in Kapaa. The service is great and they cook it fresh. It's like a five guys patty and it is tasty. Good place to try a fast meal on the road to Lihue or Hanalei...

    The view from the front porch.

    Solid burger, especially given the very reasonable pricing. What the place doesn't give you in class it more than makes up for in charm. It's a cool shack by the sea. Food came fast, and it feels like the kind of place where the more you invest in the servers, the more they invest in you. We happened to sit outside, so I didn't get a whole lot of that, but it wasn't a problem as I came with a big group of people. Check it out, if not for the food and locale then for the great merch upfront.

    Cheap eats! Auntie behind the register and quick cooks . Indoor and outdoor dining. Good place to stop and get a burger or a fish sandwich. Mo better than going to McDonald's!

    Special parking for Harley bikers

    Never seen this before but it's awesome. Just enough space for some motorcycles to park right between the no parking zone

    Some classic burgers (Double Bubba 1/3 Lb and Teriyaki Burger) with some Truffle Fries. Really yummy with a great view!

    Great burgers. Attitude is OK, but the food makes up for it. There are places to sit inside and out and it's a great place for good burgers.

    Passion Bakery Cafe is an absolute must if you're on the hunt for fresh malasadas! We came bright…read moreand early, and it was 100% worth it. We ordered the Lilikoi, Haupia, and Ube malasadas -- and WOW. All of them were so good, but the ube was our favorite! Soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and filled with so much flavor. You can really taste the freshness. The employees were also so sweet and kind, which made the experience even better. It's always nice to feel welcomed, especially early in the morning. Another big plus is the private parking lot with plenty of spaces -- super convenient! There's also lots of outdoor seating in a courtyard surrounded by beautiful plumeria trees (and some friendly chickens walking around), which adds to the whole island charm. Such a delicious and peaceful spot to start your day -- we'd definitely come back again!

    Went to Passion Bakery for breakfast to try their "famous malasadas". Got the guava filled malasada…read moreand also too their Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. Unfortunately being from Oahu with having Leonard's Bakery malasadas, these malasadas were rather mid compared to that. The guava filling was the artificially flavored type. But other than that it was a decent/above average sweet treat. The malasadas itself I'd say was 3 stars. However, the star was the Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. The thing I loved most about it was that the java chips were small enough where it never got stuck in the straw and was evenly consistent with every sip. By far the best java chip mocha frappuccino in my book! I'd come back for this one. It made starbucks seem mid tbh. Service was friendly and efficient. And the ambiance, though quite small it was fresh with the smell of a malasadas bakery :) Plus a few tables and plenty parking outside. Overall I'd give it a 4 stars. Definitely coming back for that java chip frappuccino YUM!!!

We stopped here after hiking Hoopii Falls! It was so refreshing after the hike up! Definitely coming back before leaving the island for more tamales! Aloha

    How cool to find out the owner is retired from California! He was very friendly & personable!…read more Their food is awesome. They were unfortunately out of chicken & pork tamales but we were lucky to try the veggie tamales! The masa was very tasty & light plus the filling of some cheese, onions, peppers & tomatoes made for a perfect tamale---very delicious! We placed a huge order: Jeni Special, 2 ground beef burritos, 2 taco salads, Rollin Ruben, fish & chip's & lastly avocado toast. Everything was delicious! The reason for one star taken off was that the avocado toast was missing eggs & the macaroni salad & the fish & chips came without the tartar sauce (wrong sauce given). Really good food from a food truck. We wouldn't hesitate to go back but we'd double check the accuracy of the order.
