    Spicy chicken sandwich #7
    Taylor C.

    We got the spicy chicken sandwich and the OG smash burger. The chicken on the sandwich was cooked perfectly and the whole sandwich had great flavors. The smash burger was fantastic; one of the best my husband has ever had. He said it had great flavor. The fries were excellent on both plates.

    Great burger, positive service from ordering to pickup. Ask for water gun theynwill let you shoot the roosters if they startnto bug you. Great shaded area for a cool bite.

    Food was so good that I went two days in a row for lunch. Some of the best crispy fries I've ever had and the smash burger was fantastic. Call in your order to avoid wait times!

    Original Smash Burger

    Long overdue, but this place deserves all the rave!! We visited Smash Café on a drizzly day as the first customers of the morning, and it turned out to be one of our favorite meals of the trip. The Original Smash Burger was simply amazing -- a fluffy toasted bun, thin and crispy smashed patty, melted cheese, and just the right condiments to pull it all together. The fries were a highlight -- perfectly crispy! Service was genuinely warm, and watching everything being made fresh right in the truck made it even better. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next day -- this time trying the Teri Smash burger with fresh pineapple and the Hot Dog. Same story: high quality, thoughtfully prepared, and delicious. Something tells me everything on the menu is worth ordering! Smash Cafe is a must for our future visits.

    The original smash burger

    Best smash burgers I've ever had! AMAZING! Found this place online and decided to try it while in the area. Can't rave enough about how amazing these burgers are. We tried the original smash burger and the Teri smash burger. We loved both. I personally liked the original smash burger better, but no complaints for either one. These burgers are from a food truck in a little food truck pod. It's very easy to walk to after shopping. They have tables in the shade.

    The Teri-Pineapple Smash

    Located in the Food Truck park at Kōloa. Their Teri-Pineapple Smashburger was delectable. So appealing that our son who only eats a burger with ketchup and the bun asked for bites and now wants to come back everyday for the rest of our stay for the fully loaded version.

    An absolute must-stop: Pure Aloha & Unforgettable meal!! Smash Cafe Kauai was literally our first stop after landing on the island, and it set an impossibly high bar for the rest of our trip! We were blown away by the food. Every bite was fresh, inventive, and absolutely delicious. A truly unforgettable first meal in paradise. We loved it so much we went back a second time. If they have it, try their amazing banana bread...err Mango bread, to die for!!! However, we were even more moved by the amazing Aloha spirt shown by the owners. Their warmth, genuine kindness, and positive energy made us feel instantly welcomed! This isn't just a cafe, it's a highlight of the island experience and a must try. And who knows, you might run into them at the beach and be gifted with shells and sea glass!!

    This was the worst burger I ever had. It led to stomach upset. I think the meat was from Costco. The fries certainly were.

    There's a reason this truck has 5 stars on Google and yelp. I'm not much of a red meat eater but this is a burger worth breaking vegan for.

    Somehow managed to be a complete idiot and ordered from the wrong location. The woman at the…read morecounter was much nicer than she needed to be at my mistake and called the other location to let them know. She charged me only for the Hapa Poke Bowl since it was cold but not for the Anykine Bento which was extremely generous. The poke bowl was fantastic! Fish was fresh and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Anykine bento and just wished there was a larger portion. Will definitely return on our next visit to the island.

The employee who took my order was rude and even yelled at me because she couldn't hear me over the loud music playing in the food truck. I ordered the poke bowl special, which was supposed to come with their famous tots, but the tots were missing from my order. I considered going back to ask for them, but honestly, I didn't because I was worried the employee would be even ruder than she was when I placed my order. I also tipped 20% because I truly believe in taking care of people who work in the service industry. We also tried the katsu musubi and the fried musubi, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. We've visited both locations, and while the food was excellent at each, the Poʻipū location lacked the warm, welcoming spirit you'd hope to experience while visiting Kauaʻi. That said, much aloha to Kauaʻi. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back.
