While walking , the tables near the entrance caught my eyes as the food looked so good. I grabbed a table to enjoy watching the NBA playoffs and grub and the ambiance was so chill and Theresa my server was amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger in paradise medium cooked with fries and a cold Hawaiian IPA. It was so good , I ordered wings and a salad to for dinner later. If you are loving for good food and watch sports or have a large party, this is the spot! read more

There's truly something here for everyone! From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed. Gary (the assistant manager) and Brooklyn (our server) were absolutely incredible--both went above and beyond to make sure our family was taken care of the entire time. When we were trying to snap a photo, Camden kindly stepped in and offered to take it for us, which meant so much and gave us a perfect memory to take home. The service alone would bring us back, but the food made it unforgettable. The coconut shrimp was out of this world--perfectly crispy with a sweet chili dipping sauce, and it actually tasted like real coconut (even the non-seafood lovers in our group couldn't get enough!). We also loved the island-style cheeseburger, BBQ bacon cheeseburger, mahi mahi fish tacos, and loco moco. And the fries? Crispy, seasoned, and absolutely delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. One special touch we loved was the biography included--it tells such a meaningful story about how the restaurant was founded and adds to the overall experience. Everyone we encountered was kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. This place is a shining example of amazing food, outstanding service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Gary, Brooklyn, and Camden, for giving our family such an unforgettable experience & beautiful views--we'll definitely be back! read more

Service was quick. We had a party of five and were immediately guided to a table. Note, that if you have a stroller, there's not a lot of room, so they'll ask you to place it up front near the host stand. It' a little loud in there, but it's in Waikiki. Everything is a little loud. We also went during a game, so the loudness was attributed to that. The food was just alright. Typical burger and fries. Nothing memorable or made us say, we'd get that again because it was the best. The coconut shrimp wasn't our favorite, but I think it was the breading. Don't get me wrong, we'd probably go back just because it's a safe choice if we wanted a burger and fries, but we wouldn't make a special trip type of thing. read more

Super cool vibes! Friendly staff! Our waitress was awesome! The food was great as well! My wife and I split a burger and fries with each of us getting a smoothie - so good and refreshing! My brother got a huge order of nachos and devoured that real quick! We definitely had an appetite after the plane ride so this place hit the spot! read more

We stopped by Cheeseburger in Paradise located at 2500 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki Beach Honolulu. Admittedly the happy hour Bloody Mary's for $7 drew us in but unfortunately they were underwhelming to say the least. The bloody mix was watered down or something and it wasn't very good, but I suppose that you get what you pay for... We didn't order anything else but we might return to try some of the food offerings. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3. read more

2 stars only for the location and luckily, we had a view right on the corner of the ocean. The best thing we ordered was the fish and chips which were also very average. Such a shame they get away with complete mediocrity because the foot traffic more than adequately enough pays for all the bills. There's absolutely nothing special about any part of this meal. The patty was pre-cut so you can tell it was frozen and probably the result of years of cutting corners to get a cheaper product. Nothing was outside of Costco as far as lettuce, tomato pickles . The bun you could taste the refrigerator if you ate just the bun alone. Of course they pride themselves on being open very long, but so is McDonald's and that crap will kill you read more

I've dined at Cheeseburger in Paradise every time I have visited the island. The last time being in 2007, so alot has changed since my last trip here, but the ambiance of open windows and an ocean breeze is still the same. The coconut shrimp was delicious and the dipping sauce was perfect. I ordered the fish Tacos add avocado. And they were so fresh & flavorful. My BF went with the chicken bacon Swiss, plane add mushrooms and it was so fire. Being happy Hour I had a mui mai Thai, very good. This restaurant gets loud when the games are on but the ambiance is everything, even tho it was pouring rain we had a nice breeze coming in and could hear the waves crash in the distance. Exceptional food & Megan was an amazing server, super attentive and kind. read more

Another place we stopped in to get out of the rain and we're very pleasantly surprised. The bartenders were all great and very engaging. Plenty of seating inside and at the bar, which was great. Had a couple of drinks and ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer. read more

Food: *** C. My boo came here while I was working and had the Ali'i Cheeseburger. He said if he would have just had that and nothing else he would have rated the food here a 5 but on his second time here (my first time) we had the small portioned poke nachos and chicken wings with onion rings. The chicken wings came out cold and we prefer our wings to have a little more meat on the bone. Service: **** B, My fiancé says when there's two sides to this. When they're backed up their service goes to hell but when they slow down they're very personable. I think their service is great; Nolan changed the TV for us so we had straight on viewing of the Detroit Lions game so that was exceptional service! Ambiance: **** B. open-air concept with tropical vibe. Lot of people hanging out watching their football teams. Nutrition tip: order the ahi poke nachos for a healthier take on nachos. Don't expect them to have beans and cheese on them, these come with won top chips and soy sauce! read more

While in Waikiki today, hungry after doing a test run from Kapolei on the Skyline and bus into town. Decided to grab a bite at this restaurant along the road that run a next to beach. Being a tourist spot we knew it would be slightly pricier. Husband ordered burger and order a Mahi Burger. Husband very happy with his burger and fries. My Mahi Burger was tasty, and salad instead of fries. The place was lively given games that were going on at the time. The interior is part bar with sports playing on the screens in this section restaurant. Our server was great. Wish I asked his name to give him a shout out for his friendly efficient service. read more

Instead of two tickets to paradise, all I want is a freshly cooked cheeseburger in paradise and got exactly that at Cheeseburger In Paradise! Located on the busy stretch of Kalākaua Avenue, which serves as the main boulevard of Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii, Cheeseburger In Paradise is the result of a wild idea of friends Laren Gartner and Edna Bayliff, who went from picture frame makers to sellers of cheeseburgers after visiting Maui in the mid-1980s. From this unique background comes two entrepreneurs who simply craved a cheeseburger while traveling in Hawaii and they somehow had the wherewithal to open their own chain of restaurants in both Waikiki and Maui. As times change and things go out of their control, Cheeseburger in Paradise is down to their final restaurant looking out at Waikiki Beach, which opened here back in 1997 almost thirty years ago. With their open-air windows and green exterior that opens out onto the street as if it's a promenade welcoming tourists and locals alike seven days a week Cheeseburger in Paradise has become as iconic as any other legacy business along Kalākaua Avenue with the difference here being they specialize in greasy burgers. No trip to Waikiki is made without a stop at Cheeseburger in Paradise and after a long morning hike along the Diamond Head trail, I couldn't find the most perfect time to enjoy a lunchtime meal. It wasn't too busy as I approached their host stand, as there were plenty of seats at the bar area, but this visit I preferred a table to sit at and there was one that overlooked Kalākaua Avenue with an open bay window that was perfect. My server, who also served as one of the restaurant's bartenders was a pleasant person to be around, as the menu at Cheeseburger in Paradise is separated into categories including their Cheeseburgers, Starters, From the Garden, House Favorites, their signature drinks including Tropical drinks, Spirits, Draft Beers, Cans & Bottles, Wine, Smoothies and Soda & Juices. Although a lot of their cheeseburger options were described so deliciously, I decided to order their BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger which had Colby Jack cheese, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an onion ring drizzled with BBQ sauce. Served on a brioche bun and with a side of fries, the Cheeseburgers here are made with their signature blend of ribeye, chuck, and premium ground beef and cooked medium. To pair with my meal, since it was only lunchtime, I opted for their Chocolate Smoothie, which in essence was a chocolate milkshake. It wouldn't take too long for my cheeseburger to be presented at my table, thankfully I had my chocolate shake to keep in my company which had a chocolate syrup drizzle and put in a chilled glass tiki mug. The burger which was presented as one of their employees favorite burgers on their menu was a juicy patty that was accentuated by the handful of strips of crispy bacon. With way too much food especially for a lunchtime meal, I was only able to eat half of my meal, and I made sure to take home the rest of my burger in a takeout box to dine on later. My total bill was $29.92 which for a shake and burger was a reasonable amount to pay for a memorable meal at a local institution in Waikiki. I'm so glad that Cheeseburger in Paradise is still around, especially since all of their other locations have closed. With their sister restaurant, Waikiki Brewing Company, taking over the spot across Kalākaua Avenue, this original location continues to prove it still has gas left in the tank. And for that, I'm grateful because they're still serving up the same juicy signature burgers that made them a favorite in the first place. read more

For dinner, we had their special double paradise cheeseburger. I opted only for only one burger. It was juicy. You can also taste the Colby Jack taste with mayo, lettuce and onions with a side of onion rings. The onion rings though were over cooked. Service was good, our server was quick and fun. Singing to her customers with her beautiful strong voice. Her name is Erina. It's also a bar. It can be noisy at times. read more

Stopped in on a weekday about 10:30 am. I passed up some other places because of long lines. There was a short line here and I decided to go for it. Service was ok and my order was served after a few minutes. The place was busy but not at capacity. I had the cheeseburger scramble with jalapeños (extra 2.50) it came with white toast and hash browns. It was average quality. I had a guava juice (obviously with sweetener - probably high fructose corn syrup).,My thought was I should have gone with the veggie three egg omelet. It is a spacious dining area with a large bar area. Average noise for the area.. My server was cool. Eye spying other patrons food - pancakes looked good, omelet looked good and just eggs with your choice of breakfast meat looked good as well. So, I gave it a 3 stars based on quality of my food and the priciness of additional items that should be complimentary. What did I expect from a place across the street from the beach? It's not a no-go in my book for breakfast but more of a hungry and no other option place for me. read more

Cheeseburger In Paradise - Mimosas flight...for one! - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great food, mimosas and game watching! You can't miss Cheeseburger in Paradise on Waikiki. It's reasonably priced, has great cocktails and specials and is the place to be to watch your early college games back on the mainland. I had the eggs with the Portuguese sausage (highly recommend) and mimosas with Guava juice. It's best described as a Hawaii sunrise in a drink. Better combo than any I have had. Weird getting to a bar that opens at 7 am to watch college football over mimosas but it worked and we weren't the only ones. Several Texas fans left quietly after their favored team got beat! Noah was friendly, smiling and seemed like he truly enjoyed his job. I also like that this is a woman owned business with their other company being the Waikiki Brewing Company! Check them out! read more

I visited this spot during the Christmas holiday. We came across it on a walk along the beach. Location / Ambiance It is perfectly located in the Waikiki Beach area. It's an open concept, so no windows and a beautiful breeze. The space is split where on one side it's traditional seating and on the other side is a big bar area. We opted to sit there. Food The major staples on the menu were burgers, but they also included wings, nachos, loco moco, fish tacos, and other bar food staples. As a vegan, I opted for the Beyond Burger and added guacamole and a grilled pineapple. It was the best burger I had on the trip! It had a bit of smokiness from the burger and the pineapple. The pickled onion and guacamole added some freshness and a little tang. It was a perfectly balanced burger. To drink I had guava juice. It was so fresh and naturally sweet. 5/5 stars Service It was a relaxed vibe and everyone was cool. The food didn't take long to come out either. Overall, if you're ever in Waikiki Beach, definitely put this spot on the list! read more

Our last day in Hawaii so we planned to have a full breakfast on this day and to try out this spot. I got the cheeseburger scramble and my husband got the breakfast burrito and macadamia banana pancakes. All were very good. Service was good too - our waitress was hilarious. Even the $7 discounted Bloody Mary was good! Only downside - we were a bit sticker shocked when the meal cost just shy of $10 less than our dinner at Morimoto on our first night. Definitely wasn't anticipating that, but all to be said great location, good food, good time! read more

HERE IN HAWAII!!! Aloha- so before coming to Hawaii I had looked this place up and seen they looked and seemed to have the best burgers in Waikiki!!! Well let me tell you, THEY DO!!! It was 2 min walk from my hotel and everyone was super nice. SUTTON AND COLE helped me and let me just tell you... Sutton was so patient with me but on top of things and worked efficiently and effortlessly- I had ordered the wrong drink and wanted a different one. She did not get upset or anything she was like it's ok, it happens and made me the drink I wanted. Now, that's CUSTOMER SERVICE... Cole seemed to be a manager not sure, but he checked on EVERYONE. Soon as he seen you had food or a drink you just ordered he followed up to you.. wi the a , how's everything going for you, you alright, need anything... and if you plate or drink was empty he was attentive to figuring out, if you needed something else. * & we had the same name so that's folks now... lol I ordered the Blue Hawaii drink... it was pretty strong lol... and I ordered the Ali's Cheeseburger WELL DONE for me.... Onion rings on the side, to sum this up. * a kiss to the chef because my burger was FIRE!!!! Even tho it was well done it was so juicy, all my veggies were fresh with a crunch... it was amazing delicious!!! * going back today for something more on their menu. The vibe was very chill, mostly all tourist but a chill vibe, they even had all the sports games on!!! Check them out if your in Hawaii Waikiki =) * UPDATE Came back and had a terrible experience- was greeted rudely by this rude waitress at the bar... she even unprofessionally spoke bad about me to another waiter ( Steven )....her name I believe is ( Stacie ) I am trying to get a good look at her ID. But I can definitely tell she doesn't want me to take a look. PLEASE MANAGER OR OWNER. PLEASE FIRE HER NOW. I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS BAD RACIAL PROFILING IN LIFE. COLE - the nice young man I met the other day. Please, please have a coaching moment with this lady. Or FIRE her. read more
