Hubby's favorite thing to get whenever we are here to meet up with some friends. Food came out fast and the staff always super friendly. Plenty of tables if you want to dine.

Beef Hotdog
Glenn N.

Are you a hotdog Fan ? For years my go to hotdog was at Shake Shack in California Mahaloha just took over the Crown. All beef hotdog grilled to perfection on a toasted brioche bun preloaded with diced onion and relish. It appeared nicely with the onion rings I had ordered which were crispy and also tasty on a scale of one to 10 it was 9.5. And it only $8.50 it was a deal!

Mushroom Swiss Burger
Debra N.

The cashier was very friendly and answered my question. I ordered the mushroom cheese burger and wanted well done. It was cooked perfect with lots of crispy fries and gave me a handful of catsup...yum. I had put down my food with a bottle of Coke Zero. It was a very loud noisy day...somewhat overcrowded. Food is good...Ciao!

Grilled cheese and garlic fries
Aaliyah H.

Okay, first off: I do not eat burgers and did NOT eat a burger from here. So go read another review if you're wondering about their burgers LOL Anyways, location is pretty convenient and easy considering it's in a foodcourt in a major mall. I absolutely cannot blame them for any parking or location issues because they lucked out getting a good location and it's right by the door too! The biggest thing to watch out for in this location is your spot in line since the foot traffic can get crazy since it's by the door. A lot people will walk around you while you're in line so just make sure you know who is in front and even in back of you. Now, why am I reviewing this place? Because the grilled cheese was great! Again, I'm not a burger person and honestly, I try not to buy food at Ala Moana because I know I'm paying " tourist prices," but I was hungry and needed something to hold me over to get me home. I noticed the $7 price and saw it was for grilled cheese and fries. Any meal that is under $10 seemed worth it to me so I got it. I gotta admit, for something so simple, it did it's job. I especially like the type of bread they use for this. AND the fries were cooked to perfection. I believe at the time, they also offered garlic fries and again, perfection! Good fries, good grilled cheese, good service, all around I have no complaints. 10/10 would buy again.

Mushroom Swiss Burger with Fries (excellent) - VN
Vince N.

I tried Mahaloha Burger when they had a location in the Royal Hawaiian SC, so I knew they were good. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the Lanai food court at Ala Moana Center, they share communal indoor & outdoor tables with other eateries. MENU: Beef, chicken, fish & veggie burgers and hot dogs. FOOD: Mushroom Swiss with Fries Excellent burger with a nice char, perfectly seasoned, and dressed well with mayo & mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato, sautéed mushrooms and onions. The patty was slightly bigger than the bun too. The fries were a thicker shoestring that stayed crispy on its journey back to our hotel. Highly recommended. SERVICE: The gal at the counter was a great multitasker. Super friendly and handled the register, food order ups and tray returns all with a smile. Food is made to order and was served in under 10 minutes. OVERALL: Good-sized, priced right and delish!

Loco Moco burger with crispy fries
Al L.

After some shopping, it was time for lunch. Since we were near the Lanai food hall, we decided to come here to grab a bite to eat. Checking out the options here, I decided to get a burger here. Having had a burger at another location before, I remembered it was the loco moco burger and decided to order it again. The burger was thick and juicy. The patty was topped with a medium cooked egg, some gravy and pieces of crispy onion. Crispy fries came with the burger. It hit the spot. Not your ordinary burger.

A solid burger spot in Ala Moana's Lanai food court, Mahaloha Burger is located near the entrance when coming from the Macy's side. The place is a counter in the food court with the menu behind the counter. There are tables and chairs in the food court, but they can become filled due to customers from all of the businesses. The food court is pretty bright and can become crowded. However, it is smaller than the Makai Marketplace food court on the lower level. The people working were nice and they were quick with the order. I have previously ordered the veggie burger, which is quite good. This time, I got the loco moco burger, which was also good. It was a burger with some kind of sauce that tasted kind of like teri sauce. There was an egg in it too, which was running as I was eating. This made it pretty messy but it was tasty. The burger came with fries, and I like their fries. They are crispy and just the right amount of salty. Hope to come back for this burger again soon!

Veggie burger deluxe with fries. (8-18-25)
Warren N.

Very friendly cashier who's smile was very contagious. Ambiance went to zero after reading how they had a bed bug infestation in their wooden seats...eeew. That's supposedly fixed by now ( 8-19-25.) Their veg burger and fries really filled me up. It's as deluxe as they come, with tomato, lettuce, and grilled onions. Like most places, they have a good mayo/ketchup/relish special sauce to keep it all juicy. For about $15, it's a good deal.

Brandon T.

Great service with a great burger experience, The staff was very accommodating. We love the set up of being right in the middle of the mall, perfect spot and seating

Mushroom Swiss Burger with Teri Sauce (addt $1) and Fries
Keola K.

Wow I should have stopped by this place sooner. Ordered a Mushroom Swiss Burger with Teri Sauce (addt $1) and Fries. It's a big burger, flavorful, juicy and oh so messy when you eat it all. The fries were cooked to nice crisp that I love. Food came out quick, what more could I ask for. Happy Tummy here, and will be back in the future.

Rae Z.

Pretty good burger, i got the pineapple Teri burger. The teri sauce wasn't very strong, I liked the bun and the meat was cooked medium (I asked for med rare). I really liked the fries which are coated and have a nice crunchy exterior.

Claire M.

I would come back here JUST for the amazing garlic fries!! I got a fantastic, perfectly cooked BBQ Burger, subbed Swiss for the cheddar or American. Added pickled jalapeños. I love the bun they use and it was a big burger, very well seasoned & tasty, fresh ingredients. But those FRIES. Wow! I haven't tried garlic fries that good since my last SF Giants home game @ Pac Bell Park where they famously serve Gilroy garlic fries. great service too, cashier was nice, v helpful & fast. Tall Popolo looking young woman. Go to Mahaloha! You can't go wrong!!

Add drink for $3. Not always! False advertising.
Raymond T.

Sign says $3 drink with purchase of a burger. As you can see on the receipt, I got charged $3.95. They said it's only because I upsold to truffle fries that it doesn't give the $3 drink. I DID buy a burger. Where's the $3 deal? Fix the POS or your sign, or train your employees on customer service. I just wanted a refund for the difference, but their system"doesn't work that way" so they offered to refund the drink. After they gave me the money back, they grabbed my drink and dumped it. Okay. I can get my drink for cheaper elsewhere, and I can take my business elsewhere too!

Where is this in the mall?

it's in Lanai "food hall" near Macy's-Starbucks, mall level.

Are the bottom buns suppose to be stiff and harder? I ordered from here recently and everything about the burger was great, but the bottom bun was stiff? Thought that was something new. It didn't look old.

My husband ordered the burger, and the bottom is fine. It may have just been an off day.

And I guess that's ok. Not every place needs to be Instagram-worthy and exotic. I 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 crispy! I'd definitely come back to show others and try the desserts (apparently very good), but I find all the annual awards for best burger hanging in the window really shocking! Not even the best burger in Kaimuki.

The food came out fast. We got the Waimea burger and garlic fries. The fries were nice and crispy and delivered well in the garlic cravings. The burger was hot and juicy, bacon was thicker cuttings and the onions were nicely cooked. For drinks we got their sweet tea and dragonfruit. The dragonfruit was a perfect level of sweetness and not sour, I loved this drink and would recommend if you want something a bit sweet to go along with your meal. The sweat tea is similar to what you'll find in southern US so it is definitely Texas approved lol. We sat in the outside portion since it was a nice windy day as well but there are some inside seating as well. The music was very happy and upbeat, some classics that a lot of people would recognize.

The burger was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly, while the fries were extra crispy with a delicious garlic flavor that really stood out. Since it's an open-air restaurant, it was a little warm dining at around 1:00 p.m., but that was the only minor downside. Overall, everything was lovely, and Christine's outstanding hospitality made the experience memorable. I would definitely come back!

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.

I would add a touch more salt to the meat but overall very good. I've had some variations of chicken parm here and they have tasted amazing but between the crispy chicken and crusty bread it's like taking sandpaper to your gums. The heat and moisture from the cheesesteak really softens the bread and allowed it to shine. So if you're having a hard time with the bread like me, give the cheesesteak a try. The waffle fries are really good too!

I grew up on the east coast and that sure did not taste like an east coast chicken cheesesteak. The sandwich wasn't put together properly, so everything kept falling out while I was trying to eat it. The grilled peppers were barely even cut up, some were basically huge slices or half a pepper instead of being chopped into pieces that actually fit in a sandwich. On top of that, there was so much grease or butter that it soaked completely through the bread and turned it into a mushy mess. Between the soggy bread, oversized peppers, and filling constantly falling everywhere, it was almost impossible to eat. I got so frustrated that I eventually wrapped the sandwich back up, threw it in the trash and walked out. I ended up walking over to Moku happy hour instead, where I had an appetizer a full meal, and dessert for only about $2 more than this one sandwich cost me. That really put the price and quality into perspective. Definitely not worth it and I won't be ordering this again. Should have asked for my money back!

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.

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!
