Hang Loose!
Fer R.

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

Strawberry Watermelon Shaved Ice

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!
Theresa C.

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!

The atmosphere in here is also super fun. A very old school chill vibe that reminds me somewhat of Ruby's Diner.

Anyway, I order the food and it takes much, much longer than anticipated. I'll say that the pricing was pretty average for the food, especially here on island. Anyway, I ordered a 'shroom and guac burger and a bacon cheeseburger. The burgers were both cooked well done (which is not my favorite, but it's fine) but it caused the meat to bite a little tough. Additionally, we order fries with our order that were thick cut, but overly salted. They were also not fresh and were a little soggy upon eating them. The flavor of the two burgers was fine, again, aside from the patty being well done. There is a sauce on it, but thankfully not drenched, which I can appreciate. The pickles on both burgers were also pretty good. Anyway, this place was just... okay. Did I hate it? No, but would I go back? Probably not.

Ah, W&M, how we missed you! I'm so glad you're still around. Given the number of long-time business…read morethat have closed down for one reason or another, it was wonderful to find W&M still going strong. As usual parking is a little challenging since there's only about 5 stalls but the service is quick, so the cars move in and out pretty fast. This is one of the best places for a teri burger. Double Onion Royal is my fave. Their fries are those thick crinkle ones. So good! FPO loves the Green River. We took our feast to Wailupe Beach Park and scarfed. Good times!

This Kaimuki institution has so many fans and just hit 75 years in business this October, so…read morethey're obviously doing something right. I really wanted to love it, but thought it was only just ok. And I guess that's ok. Not every place needs to be Instagram-worthy and exotic. I affectionately appreciated the family legacy, history, and quirks - like the odd hours, bewildering menu, limited parking, and zero seating. Service was great and food came out quick. Many comments say the prices are cheap. I wouldn't, but it's reasonable for Hawaii in 2026. I got the HAL - a burger with teri beef strips. Definitely unique, fun, and flavorful, but nothing to chase. I thought the meat and bun too dry. The sauce too sweet. As everyone says, the fries are good and crispy! I'd definitely come back to show others this historical legend and try the desserts (apparently very good), but I find all the annual awards for best burger hanging in the window really surprising! I don't even consider this the best burger in Kaimuki. I think nostalgia, friendly service, and the appreciation for a generational family business that hasn't sold out is doing a lot of work here. Cheers to them.

The bun is not of the thickest varieties I enjoy, but it fits this kind of burger. Great ratio of onions and surprisingly melty cheese. The fries are also immaculate.

He really stood out. As for the burgers we got two #8s with two sides of small fries and we did a good job getting the small sides because the fries are pretty thick. The burger itself was pretty good but very very messy because of all the sauce which is not a bad thing! Just be sure to pack some wet wipes in your bags but if not you need to ask for the key to the restroom upstairs to wash. The fries are well seasoned with salt and pepper but nothing else. One thing I didn't really like is that they charge 50 cents for ranch and you can hear them squeezing the bottle of ranch into a little container, it tasted very similar to hidden valley so it might be that. Normally i feel like places charge for ranch when it is house made and actually good.

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!
