    I will think of an excuse to drive to Mapunapuna on a weekday, just so I can pick up a burger from The Munchie Machine. The burgers are tasty, thanks to their homemade teri sauce and DAB sauce. I usually get the single patty (scrappy burger) and make it a deluxe (lettuce, tomato) - it's the perfect amount of burger not to put me into a food coma for the rest of the afternoon. After trying the fries once, I pass on the fries, because they're always too crispy for my liking. But one day when I don't have to return to work after lunch, I'll try the shaggy jr. which consists of a grilled cheese single patty sandiwch with fries inside - maybe the sauces will soften up the fries in the sandwich. Sounds amazing doesn't it?! Note: order window is on the right (where the driver/passenger sits). The pick up window is on the left! Check their Instagram page (the.munchie.machine) for updates - sometimes they modify their normal operating hours.

    Finally had a chance to check out Munchie Machine! It resembles the original Mystery Machine from the Scooby-Doo days that adults over 40 will remember! Located in Mapunapuna they are parked in front of Fisher Hawaii you can't miss this baby blue food truck. We found street parking ordered and waited about 10 minutes for our burgers and fries. Check them in IG for updated times and locations. But they are usually here during the week and closed weekends. We came here on advice that it rivaled one of our favorite smash burgers from Shays so naturally we had to stop by. The Verdict..they are really good tasty burgers but I think that they appeal to the younger crowd that prefers the sweeter tasting burgers over savory. The DAB sauce a sweeter honey mustard sauce almost like the chick FIL a sauce. They use it generously on their burgers which definitely appeals to a lot of people. The shaggy jr and shaggy burger kicks it up by having the bread dipped in the sauce and then grilled. Your taste buds will be happy, your waistline not so much! The Dab fries (shoestring) ones we ordered were in the oil a bit too long and came out very crispy so we just had the crunch and none of the potato. I would try the waffle fries next time. Overall they grill up a great burger and for those that like things on the sweeter side I would head out there and check them out. They are cooked fresh so expect to wait a few minutes for your order. Friendly workers and convenient location.

    Right in front of CPB Mapunapuna from 10:30 to 3ish

    "Deceptively simple... deceptively delicious" Ok, I'll be the first to admit- you really cannot live on burgers and fries, it's not gonna do your body good. BUT- when you do want to feed that burger hunger, The Munchie Machine is a worthy consideration. From what I have read, they are located in Mapunapuna by CPB for the lunch crowd and they later go to Ahuimanu side for the late afternoon/after school/work crowd. They sell basically two things: burgers (and variations of burgers) and fries. The prices are reasonable, the food ono. No complaints here. (See my pics for descriptions) I have heard on Fridays they offer other stuff too like Saimin. You can ask them about that when you call in your order. When I have to make a run to Hardware Hawaii or Fisher Hawaii I will sometimes try to time so I can get my burger fix from Munchies. Give them a try when in the area- you won't be disappointed.

    Delicious burger.

    Late post but still remembering the taste.... Enjoyed the shaggy burger and Dooby fries which was recommended by one of the owners. Super friendly and worth the wait. We will be back.

    Great hamburger food truck in Mapunapuna fronting CPB

    We've been going there for couple of years. My mom does her banking at the CPB Mapunapuna branch/ Moanalua. She doesn't eat meat as much especially hamburgers but she loves the way they prepare their unique burgers. It's grilled cheese with waffle fries between their sandwiches. They have potato sides such as waffle, string fries & Teriyaki sauce French fries. The menu is written by the cartoon character Scobie-do..I highly recommend all to try their burgers they grill there. They have their Instagram all can follow her delightful delicious eats that are burgers only they prepare very yummy good. I think I ordered their Shaggy burger photo shown below. They're usually at the same locale check Instagram for time and days they are not there.

    Yay I finally tried this spot. Their dab sauce is pretty yummy! I ordered their scrappy cheeseburger burger which comes with one patty and all of their burgers comes with homemade Teri sauce and their dab sauce. Must get their dab sauce with their fries! Their truck is fun and reminds me of Scooby Doo! It's located right in Mapunapuna in front of Central Pacific bank.

    Scrappy Burger and Teri Fries

    Wow. Are you kidding me? I found this place next to my new job and tried it. Wow. I didnt get to eat immediately as some work popped up but but when I finally got to eat it it was still yummy! The teri fries was solid, still crispy and kind of alot. I think the scrappy (1 smash burger) had teri sauce on it but the dab sauce was insane, like the other reviewers mentioned. The owner/person I talked to said they do Prime Rib or Smoked Meat Fried Saimin on Fridays so I am going to have to go back to try that too.

    So i dont know how i have never heard of this place before. So im sitting in mapunapuna and i am just craving a burger and fries - and not mcdonalds so of course i go on Yelp. Scrolling..scrolling.. and then i see "the Munchie Machine" I take a look and i am hesitant. I think to myself they cant be that good, plus some of the pictures wernt that appealing. Also who wants to just eat a plain cheeseburger with no veggies? On my way home i just couldnt stop thinking about it so i took a detour to just check them out. and i am sooo glad i did! In the afternoon they are parked on ala ilima. I think they target the kids afterschool and the people in the surrounding buildings. Parking is really challanging and you just have to hope you get lucky. The owner is great - she is really nice and answered all my quesitons. she also let me know that i could get a deluxe with lettuce, onion and tomator which i did not see on the menu. (later she told me that you can also request to have the onions grilled which is great because the raw onions was a little over powering) I also like how clean they are - in between orders she is teaching her staff the imporance of keeping the grill and counter area clean. I asked the difference between the fires and she said if you like crunchy go with the shaggy. If you like softer fries go with the crisscut fries. She didnt make me feel rushed and made me feel like a valued customer. The burgers and the sauces are all homemade. THe dab sauce is like a honey mustard suace. Her burgers are smash burgers and just burst with flavor, which is only inhanced by the teri sauce and dab sauce. Her buns are fresh and nicely grilled. All i can say is that i will be back! i even called people on my way home to tell them they have to try this place out - it is truly a hidden gem.

    Omg the food is soooo good! The secret sauce for the burgers and fries is like a Hawaiian mustard I loved it! Our burgers were so juicy and the flavor was spot on. We were full without over spending, the service was great, burgers came quick...definitely a hidden gem. We rented a car to visit this food truck while staying in Waikiki and 10/10 do recommend

    Shaggy Burger

    Get ready to get messy! It's a homey style of burger freshly made to order! The cute Scooby Food Truck stands out in Mapunapuna and love their friendly service. My husband ordered the Shaggy and I ordered the Scrappy Deluxe with shoe string and waffle fries. Crispy and fresh! I highly recommend this burger truck!

    Fairly new food truck to Mapunapuna and saltlake area, and if you haven't tried then you better ask somebody...lol, love the pork chops and mushrooms they make, smoke meat is mayjah and today I had the scobby burger and fries with the sauce... not to self GET THE SAUCE!!! So good... go try um, go try um, go!!! Support

    After a hard day of ATV'ing Joe, Mike, Kim and I were starving, on the way back from the North Shore we found The Munchie Machine , the most Shagg-ilicious creation ever The Shaggy Jr......... A grilled cheese with 1 burger patty, lettuce, tomato and fresh onion, with crispy fries, and Teri Sauce and DAB sauce...... TRULY AMAZING CREATION, I call it SHAGG-ILICIOUS.....

I've now introduced W&M to my own children and we enjoy stopping by to pick up some burgers and fries together as a family. The parking lot is small but we've been lucky to find a stall the times we've been going. They have a beautiful mural in their parking lot that shows where they have been before their location in Kaimuki. There is also a history of W&M burger from the humble beginnings of starting a burger place. You can call ahead and even order online so your food is ready to be picked up. If you go to the counter then be prepared to wait a little bit, as they are flame-grilled made-to-order burgers and fries. If you want a side of nostalgia with your delicious burger, then check out W&M! Happy Eating!

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.

It's interesting how some of the tourists will not venture outside of Waikiki and would only do so on a tour.

The fried chicken sandwich was good, but we mainly got it to try the Old Bay seasoning. Wasn't too hot, 8/10 Earl Fries were good, the pickles were a nice touch although it did make certain spots on the fries a little soft due to liquid (we brought the food home). 8.0 Spicy Pickles were the weakest link for me, and I misread--I thought it was fried pickles. 6.5/10, although I can see them adding to certain sandwiches as a topping.

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!

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!
