    Breakfast Burger $11 + Bacon $2 IG: @fiveftfoodie
    Corina Q.

    YUM! I won an Instagram contest for a free sandwich, so my parents and I made the trip to the Kailua Town Farmers Market to redeem it. The workers were so outgoing and genuinely seemed like they loved doing what they do, and treated all the customers like friends. I got the Breakfast Burger ($11) which is their Lava Rock Brioche Bun, a local grassfed beef patty from Forage Hawaii (also has a stall at the farmer's market!), havarti cheese, pickles, red chili aioli, maple bacon jam, and a local egg sunnyside up. I also added bacon to mine ($2). We also got the Mango Ginger Beer $6, which was super duper refreshing, and had a sharp (but not harsh!) ginger taste. The brioche bun was SO delicious. 40% of my judgement of a good burger comes from the bun, and this passed my test. It was a soft, buttery brioche with herbs brushed on (or baked on?) which gave it a great flavor. The beef patty was delish and not dry like other burgers, the maple onion jam was insanely delicious (a little on the sweet side, from the maple and the sugars from the onion), and everything paired so well with each other. I will say that the burger is a little on the smaller side, but I totally get it, since they source so many of their ingredients locally and it's one heck of a good burger. Definitely gonna be back next time to try their M&J sandwich! they also have secret menu items that only people that follow their IG (@journey.hfc) know about!

    Breakfast burger review Ordered this one that farmers market at kaakaako. Very flavorful and lots going on but it works well together. Was kind of suspect of what that egg would do but it definitely added a good creamy flavor. The bad The bun both top and bottom was super soggy. The bottom bun pretty much disappeared because it was so wet. Wish the bun held up a little better. Overall a good burger to try. But if you are craving a burger in the area, go to chubbies right down the street.

    I've been to this Mahaloha Burger location on Hekili Street, only once, and it was a few years ago…read more Mahaloha Burger, if I recall correctly, first opened a location in Waikiki...andI've been there and in the Ala Moana Center Lanai Food Court. Burgers are similar in quality - these are grass-fed, local ( Big Island ) beef burgers - to some of the upscale, fast casual burger places that have opened in recent years on Oahu. Dining area is small but there is a mezzanine for additional seating. I got takeout...the #8 Loco Moco Burge

    Yumalicious... Who…read moredoesn't love a burger I can get quite bougie when it comes to my dream build where I do love cheese and to get saucy though no pickles or onions for me but please add some lettuce and tomatoes and make it messy! After a brief time spending the day in Kailua it was time for lunch and it was Mahaloha Burger for us and with some parts of Kailua biggest challenge is parking but these merchants on Hekili Street which is right across from Kailua Town Center does have it's own parking in the back is very convenient when you're unable to find street parking. Though quite small the vibe of this restaurant is just adorable lots of statement of Aloha some are fun and cheesy, I ordered the most popular item #9 Mushroom Swiss with fries though I was tempted with the many of their specialty fries is always yummy along with any of their dipping sauce. We're given a buzzer though it took no time to receive our order and gosh what a lovely burger cooked perfectly but you know what would make it better...dine in during their "Happy Hour" weekdays only from 3pm-5pm it's $2 off any burger or hot dog and $1 off specialty fries and yes they also have beer...cheers to this play filled with Aloha. Thank you!

    This location has a very different layout compared to the kapolei location and both being good…read more I Have always drove past the Kailua one this one is a lot smaller and has a more casual island vibe. The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes. As always a great experience with a great casual setting..fair pricing (nothing is considered "cheap" nowdays) ..good food and friendly staff.

    I've been here several times now, and it's consistently been a solid 4 out of 5 stars…read more If you're expecting full table service or "princess treatment," this probably isn't the place for you. Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

If you expect something that doesn't resemble a frat party, please look elsewhere. Arrived about 515pm, got seats. And waited. And waited. First clue. If my husband didn't want their wings we would have left then. Chased someone down to order wings and a well done burger. He ordered a beer, which he did get promptly. Could not hear one another speak. While waiting, I watched all the people seated around the bar get ignored when trying to get the waitresses attention. When hubby's beer was done and we were almost completely deaf from the young girls screaming with laughter a foot away, we attempted to find out what happened to our food. This was 30 min after we ordered it. No luck finding anyone who would speak with us. We left the pub area and walked over to the outside walk up area. We were ignored there as well by no less than 4 waitstaff, until a nice girl asked if she could help us. We pointed at the food sitting in open containers in the open air, and asked if we could please have our food. She closed the lids and handed it to us. We got back home and hubby enjoyed his wings. I was unable to eat my raw hamburger, which had been ordered well done. One extra star for his beer.

The brisket is flavorful and tender, and the baked beans are the perfect side. I recently stopped by for brunch and tried their version of shrimp and grits, which was a really tasty take on the classic. Everything was delicious, and the restaurant itself is nice, clean, and welcoming. Plus, it's right in the heart of Kailua town, making it an easy spot to stop by while you're out and about. If you're craving barbecue, go here! You won't be disappointed.

    It's simple food done incredibly well. Everything was fantastic. The food came out lightening fast,…read moreand the service was friendly. We ordered the brisket and Huli Huli chicken. The brisket melted in your mouth, and the chicken was so juicy with a thin crispy skin. The mac and cheese and corn cheese were both soooo good. The pickled jalapeños on the corn was one of those small detail things that added such a refreshing touch to the meal. I also appreciated how the tater tots stayed crunchy until we finished them off. The baked beans had a smoky flavor that made them distinctly better than others I've tried. Don't forget about their two sauces that come with the meal. They added a brightness and kick that made everything taste even better. The only thing I wasn't super stoked on was surprisingly the grilled cornbread. I had high hopes and it was still good, but it could have had more flavor and been more moist. But even with the okay cornbread I can't wait to go back! I'll probably try the regular instead of the grilled cornbread.
