Counter staff super friendly and personable. Cooks are quiet- bc they are BUSY! This place is completely charming with one of the best burgers I've ever had! GREAT onion rings!

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.

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!

Ordered a corn dog and onion rings from Bubba's Burgers in Kapa'a and it was very delicious! The view from across the street is beautiful as well! Fast service! Highly recommend!

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!

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.

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.

Popular menu items include ahi katsu 10/10, chili pepper chicken 9/10, and Hawaii's own- loco moco (not a huge fan in general). They offer a variety of other options, including poke, ramen, and sandwiches, with convenient takeout and delivery available. It's definitely a local favorite due to its generous portions, authentic Hawaiian cuisine and friendly service. We ordered the fried chicken and poke combo with wonton chips and the ahi katsu (my absolute fav). The ahi was fried to perfection- crispy on the outside while rare and tender on the inside. The sauce on the katsu was absolutely fire!!! So good! Macaroni salad was creamy and delicious. And the rice was perfect. Obviously, you cannot visit Hawaii without having some of their poke- always fresh and delightfully tasty. The marinade was savory and packed with flavor.

Honestly, the wait is usually a good sign there. Your order lineup hits a nice mix: * Mandu great choice for something shareable and comforting * Korean chicken if it tasted like an ajumma made it, that's basically the highest compliment * Beef sliders can't go wrong, especially when they're "ono" That mix of Korean flavors with a casual, almost random décor (yeah, "Mexican-ish" is oddly accurate for some island spots) is part of what makes places like that memorable--kind of a cultural mashup you only really find in Hawai'i. If you ever go back, people usually rave about their: * Garlic fries * Poke-style dishes * Local beer selection Kaua'i's north shore is full of low-key gems like that, but Taps and Hops is definitely one that sticks with you

This morning, I was parked in a dark brown van and was actually planning to come inside to purchase some donuts for my daughter and a couple of daycare kids. My aunty had walked over to the other side of the parking lot and called to let me know that I needed to move the vehicle. As I was getting ready to do so, a gentleman in a red shirt approached me rather abruptly and told me to move, even threatening to have the vehicle towed. Despite explaining that I was already planning to move, the interaction felt unnecessarily rude and confrontational. He also proceeded to take a picture of the license plate, which left me even more confused. I'm not sure if this gentleman was the owner or an employee, or if there was simply some sort of miscommunication, but the entire interaction left a bad impression. I was genuinely there to support the business and purchase something, but afterward, I no longer felt comfortable going inside. I understand that businesses have parking rules ect and that rules should be respected. My issue wasn't with being asked to move, but rather the way the situation was handled? I think it's important to remember that kindness and respectful communication go a long way. You never know who you're speaking to, what someone may be going through, or what their intentions are. There are ways to approach people without making them feel unwelcome or uncomfortable. As someone who has supported and recommended this business in the past, I genuinely found this experience disappointing. When you're running a business, the way you treat people matters just as much as the products you sell. Sometimes one negative interaction can completely change someone's perspective on a place they once enjoyed supporting. I hope this feedback is taken constructively and serves as a reminder that a little patience, kindness, and understanding can go along way.

I had found this on a Yelp search for Breakfast spots and my husband said let's go!…read more When we got there, it was early and had 1 other customer doing takeout. I read the sign about ordering first so we waited for someone to come out. That gave us time to go over the menu I did not see the "all day" part of the menu so only looked at Breakfast. I wasn't hungry enough for lunch but my husband though must have been starving. He ordered the Hamburger Steak with 2 eggs, I ordered the mushroom omlette with hash browns and I just wanted the saimin broth. The cashier misunderstood and put in an order for a small saimin. When the saimin came out, I was surprised but my husband said to leave it. He ate most of it, I had a little. I drank mostly the soup which was definitely not S&S. Very rich and umami, no shoyu needed. I did not try my husbands dish but he said it was very good and the hamburger patties were homemade. I did try the gravy, it was good. When my omlette came out there was rice instead of the hash browns but the waitress said it was coming. The omlette was great because there was no cheese. Most omlettes ALL have cheese. I also asked for bacon thinking it would be on the side, the chef put it in the omlette. Best omlette ever! I ended up getting a t-shirt, in fact the one I was staring at our entire meal (brown) as well as got one for my daughter who was dog-sitting for us Overall, excellent spot for breakfast, staff was very engaging and the location felt very local. I did want to go back but we just didn't have the time. Just a note - if you looked at the menu, you'll notice 2 different prices. One line is if you pay cash, the other if pay by CC. I noticed this way of pricing is all over the island. Highly recommend

Prices are fair. The greeting and services were really nice. Food was great with generous portions. I had the corned beef hash. It's patties of hash deep fried to a nice crispy texture and topped with brown gravy. It was served with tasty fried rice and eggs. The ham and cheese omelette was filled with a good amount of ham and melted cheese. Served with lots of golden brown hash-browns. The coffee was good. This is a casual spot where you order at the counter and the food is served to your table. I would recommend it highly.
