Hang Loose!

What an awesome Hot Dog and Cheeseburger we enjoyed! Seriously! Give Magoo's a try! You won't regret it! With an Aloha welcome and gigantic grin your greeted like your the king & Queen! What a nice guy! Handed us cold napkins to cool our sweaty brows from climbing down Diamond Head! We ordered our food and whilst waiting for our order I noticed how everyone got a killer Aloha greeting! What a happy-go-lucky-kinda guy! My sausage sized hot dog arrived I sunk my teeth into goodness! You could taste the hot dog and the texture was perfect! Not crunchy like other brands of dogs. I don't prefer crunchy dogs. Bun was fresh. Hubby's cheeseburger had a good sized patty with a generous slice of cheddar that lay across the patty. Both of these All American favorite foods gets a 2 thumbs up form us! This food truck looks clean and tidy and well kept. Which I appreciate when selling food from a 4wheeled vehicle. LOL Prices are very reasonable and he sells shave ice and drinks too.

So I noticed this place existed, as we were going to begin our journey to diamond crater, and I told myself I wouldn't eat one. However, I was wrong. After the hike, underneath the scorching hot sun, nothing tasted better than the sweet shaved ice that completely replenished my thirst. Yea it was sweet, but desserts are meant to be sweet right ? Shaved ice costed around 4 bucks. Totally worth.

You really can't ask for more after a morning hike in the rain; yes id like a cheeseburger to go please!! The burger quality reminds me of a high quality cafeteria burger, the bun/lettuce- fresh, people running the bus are friendly. Hits the spot, don't have high expectations,it's just a fun looking bus located at the start of diamond head. Offer drinks, snow cones, and hot dogs.

Cold delicious shaved ice after the hike to the top of Diamond Head was almost as good as the cold cloth he gave us to wipe down our faces. It was brutally hot and it was a perfect end to a great day.

Rainbow ice; blue coconut, strawberry, and pineapple

They have an ideal location at the base of Diamond Head so it's a perfect stop post-hike for some light eats or shaved ice. It's not great shaved ice consistency wise, more like a snow-cone, but the syrups are refreshing and the price is right. Be careful if you grab a spot on the picnic tables - the surface isn't totally flat and a breeze can easily topple your treat (I speak from experience). DFTBA ~ chase

Smoothies!

We were so happy to catch this food truck before they closed at 4pm! After our hike we needed something thirst quenching. We got a pineapple smoothie and it was fresh made with real pineapple and so yummy. Bring cash

The guy at the counter was super nice. He offered us ice towels to wipe off our foreheads. Then filled up our water bottle with ice and water for free. Highly highly recommended!!!

Magoo's at the base of Diamond Head!

Nice place to refresh when coming down Diamond Head mountain. Enjoy the burgers, they're fresh and yummy. Shaved ice, not a big thing after trying Matsumoto's on the North Shore.

Strawberry and coconut; YUM!

Hawaiian shaved ice was so good. Hit the stop after hiking from our hotel to the crater and just before hiking to the outlook. I got the strawberry and coconut flavored did not disappoint. Check them out; prices are fair. Mahalo!

Option to sit at the counter which makes it easier for solo diners. Food came out hot and pretty fast. The place seemed a little dated but nonetheless looked clean enough.

This has long been one of my family's favorite places to enjoy burgers in town. We've been coming…read morehere since the very first location on Amana Street. The burgers are always delicious, and we've made many memories here over the years. I even celebrated my graduation with my family here, and the owner has always been incredibly warm and friendly. I still remember him greeting us from the back after we finished eating and made time to chat with us which I appreciate. That's why writing this review is honestly difficult. I spent the whole day debating whether to post this because I've always loved this place, but I left yesterday feeling deeply disappointed and heartbroken. Yesterday's experience was very different from what we've come to expect. We arrived before 1:30 PM, placed our order around 1:40 PM, and didn't receive our food until after 2:10 PM--over 30 minutes later. I completely understand that Saturdays are busy and delays happen. What hurt more was seeing several customers who arrived after us, and even ordered after us, receive their food first. There was even a group we chatted with who came in after us, ordered after us, got their food before us, and were almost finished eating while we were still waiting. Being left there without any explanation made me feel overlooked, and I honestly couldn't help feeling hurt and wondering whether we were being discriminated because we looked different. We've lived here for over eight years, and our family has always tried to be respectful and supportive of the local community. Maybe that's part of why this experience affected me so deeply. I may be wrong, and I truly hope I am, but I couldn't help leaving with a feeling of being discriminated against. The service from the beginning also felt very unlike our previous experiences. When we arrived and said we wanted to order takeout, the server did not give us a menu. We had to look for one ourselves. She walked away and started doing something else without saying anything to us. In the past, staff were always welcoming, handed us menus, and gave us time to decide. What made it more disappointing was that after we finally received our order, there was no acknowledgment or apology. I noticed the server apologizing to other customers, especially Japanese customers (I understand some Japanese), which honestly made the experience even more upsetting for me. I truly hate writing this because this place means a lot to my family. Maybe this was just one bad day, and I sincerely hope it was, because we've loved Carl Oji for years. I also want to say I'm sorry to the owner. When we were leaving, he shouted "thank you" to us like he always does, and I couldn't bring myself to reply. Maybe it will take me some time before I'm ready to come back after this experience. I truly hope things improve because this place has been special to my family for a long time, and that's exactly why this hurt so much.

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).

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...

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!

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!

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!
