    Deluxe smash burger with fries

    Best smash burgers in Waikiki at a local price. Fries were seasoned to perfection, secret sauce was packed full of flavor and service was great. No line or long wait like other smash burger stands. Buns were soft and fresh

    Burgers, tater tots & sauce!

    The service was astounding! The owner was very welcoming and cooked quickly. Probably one of the the best burgers I ever had. He even checked in to make sure everything was okay (and it was beyond okay). I wish I could eat it first time all over again.

    Tasty burger

    I don't remember W&M burger being THIS good. The reason I decided to revisit was because I saw…read moretheir 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).

    Haven't been here for quite a while so was excited to eat their burger and fries. I ordered the…read moreRoyal 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...

    I ordered the Earl's Cheesesteak and it was absolutely delicious. Hands down one of the better…read morecheesesteaks I've had on island. The flavors were on point, perfectly balanced, and seriously satisfying. Even with a solid crowd when I came in, they moved at a great pace and had my order out pretty quickly, which I definitely appreciated. The shop itself is clean, well kept, and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their establishment. Now here's my one (very passionate) request: as a sandwich spot, I would LOVE to see a true NYC bodega style chopped cheese added to the menu. Ever since my trip to New York City, I've been reminiscing about those chopped cheese sandwiches nonstop. There's just something different about them. It honestly surprises me that on the island we can find cheesesteaks everywhere, but not a single place offering a legit chopped cheese! If you guys ever decide to add a proper chopped cheese to the lineup, I promise I'd be a weekly regular without hesitation. I know I'm not the only one who would appreciate it! Until then, I'll definitely be back for another Earl's Cheesesteak. Solid food, clean atmosphere, and great service. Keep it up, and please consider bringing a chopped cheese to the island!

The chipotle chicken was also really good a bit on the heavier side but a lot of chicken included. I did think the sandwich was going to be bigger for the price of almost $20 a sandwich. Won't be an everyday thing but definitely a nice treat.

    Hot and new on Instagram! Their ig is @goodfellahawaii and only open Monday through Friday from…read more11-4 and in the middle of the night on Friday and Saturday from 11p to 3am. There is a private lot that you can park in, so parking is free and not an issue. However, looking for this place might be. It's literally just a black door with a white window and red light above it that's located next to the stairs and on the first floor. Just roll up to the door/ window where you can find their menu. It's a pretty small menu but what is offered is out of this world! I don't know where else you would get a double patty smash burger for only $9! Just push the button and a guy will open The window to help you. Once you place your order bell close it again and you'll just have to wait for it to be prepared. He'll open it up again when your food is ready and that is when you pay for your goods. It gave me mafia vibes here and it felt so secretive lol. Kind of like a speakeasy but for burgers? Lol I'm sure the effects would be moreso in the middle of the night with a little red light on the door. I picked up the og burger + onion rings. Their fry sauce was sweet chili oil + Mayo and fried to perfection. But - I think for just $2 more I should have got the other burger instead. Lol. The burger was huge and so juicy. I will totally come back again cause it was that good!

    I honestly couldn't fathom rating this place poorly because the people working here are just the…read moresweetest, so I'll just take off 1 star. The place is very hard to locate, due to the lack of good signage, but it's in the shopping center right next to the Lobster King. Parking is very difficult too, so maybe have another person with you who can order and wait for the food. I'm not going to lie, the wait time for the food is extremely long for just burgers and fries--took more than 30 minutes--but please keep in mind this is a small business. I think there were only 2 or 3 people working, an auntie, uncle, and a younger guy who I believe was cooking. The food looked so beautiful but everything was too salty and the patties were way too charred, which I'm hoping was a one off thing. I did DM them on social media shortly after picking up our order and they said it was an off day. They offered for me to come back one day so they can make things right, but I don't know if I'll have the time to swing by anytime soon. I truly hope this business does well, they are the sweetest people I've met in the last few months, and I wish them nothing but the best. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I mean look at how beautiful their burgers are!
