    Wow!! After reading reviews on Instagram about this place I decided to try. Especially being Polynesian myself I wanted to see what a slice of the islands was like in San Antonio. I can't speak on the authenticity of this place as far as ethnic cuisine but I can tell you this was hands down one of the best burgers I've EVER had and I've had plenty!! It was a smash burger style. I love my burgers soft and this just melted in your mouth. Wasn't a fan of the fries but who needs them? I told my husband if I come back (we don't live in the area) then I am getting 2 burgers instead of 1 burger and 1 fry! Ordering was simple and fairly quick. The time to receive food wasn't too bad either and that burger was worth any wait anyways! Hope this place stays around!

    We stopped in just before 10 pm. Didn't realize they close at 10pm on a Saturday. They were out of grilled onions and avocado. The da slippah, loko moko and Texas Cheesesteak were our choices. The burgers were full of juice and flavor. In the da slippah the onions would have finished it. The Texas cheesesteak was yummy full of robust flavor. The onions would have added but was good regardless. The Loko Moko was savory. The fries were limp and wilted. I wanted iced tea but there wasn't any at the time.

    Soda Pop anyone

    Ahhhhhhh with Hawaiian Reggae playing both inside/outside as I walked into this Maui Joint I knew that I was in a slice/piece of "Paradise" in San Antonio Carla took my order and also remembered me from the other location "Maui on Main" Love this place and the Island Vibes flowing through the whole Joint Absolutely Delicious & Yummilicious Big Juicy Burger with tons of flavor plus tasty fries From the 1st bite to the last, simply tastilicious Great value for the whole combo meal & way,way better than fast food for a lower price with fresh ingredients & cooked while ya wait Super Duper Aloha & Ohana location that's on My Favorite lists now Muchos Gracias Y'all & God Bless Jah be with Y'all. ‍‍‍‍

    We were very pleased with Unko Maui's!!! The burgers were very tasty with their special sauce making the burger taste even better! The chili dog was very good, and can easily be shared between two people! Customer service was great and they took time to explain the menu to us, as it was our first time! I highly recommend Unko Maui's if you are looking for a new fresh tasty burger.

    The burgers were good but everything else was disappointing. They ran out of plasticware forks so we got a spoon until the end of the meal, a fork was found. The food took long to make and the napkins weren't suitable for greasy burgers. Maybe if they provide better quality plasticware and napkins, it could be better.

    This was an easy visit to make. Maui's on Main is amazing. I went there once with my younger son and he had the burger. And it looked amazing and he enjoyed it. So with the background they have in general with great food, and that burger experience, I couldn't wait for this place to open. It did not disappoint. Plenty of room inside and a seating area outside. Easy to find and recognize. We were greeted when we entered and ordering was easy. Menu right up front and loud. Plenty of burgers options on it too. I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger and my son got a bacon cheddar burger. Both were delicious. There was an initial snafu with the burger where I asked for no lettuce and it came plain, but they quickly rectified it and overcompensated for the missing toppings. Burger, bread, bacon all delicious. Sodas are still cans out the freezer like at Maui's on main but I hope they bring the sweet tea in. It'll be just the right capper to a delicious burger. The fries are shoestring and they're fried well. You get a generous portion with a combo. All of this deliciousness comes at a reasonable price. I've added them to my regulars for burgers. Most definitely coming back

    Maybe da slappah...not sure as it wasn't on the orderable menu

    We had to be here at the wrong time...we walked in and it was super dark and none of the lights we on. We stood there for a while and eventually someone came out of the kitchen to tell us the cashier wasn't there yet and to order on the machines. He told me to get da slappah which I decided on. But then it wasn't on the machine. So I told him what I wanted and he told me what to order instead and he would swap it (I don't know if he did as I said I wanted a double and I got a single)...so maybe I had da slappah. Then my wife went to get her drink and was told the machine was broken and she could get a bottled drink. Which is weird because she wanted diet coke (they have Pepsi on the machine) but then in the cooler it was all Fanta and sprite and no diet that we saw. They also didn't have ice. Eventually the food was ready and we got tots instead of fries on the app sampler (which they fixed easily). The appetizer sample was easily the worst food I've had in a long time. The fries were okay...not as good as even whataburger. The onion rings were AWFUL. Tasteless and no onion. The fried mushrooms were also tasteless other than tasting like they came out of a can. The mozzarella sticks were okay. The burger I had (whether it was the right one or not) was very good. I'd happily get the burger again if not for everything else being so bad or poorly maintained. My son refused to eat his hotdog because of the spicy sauce (which was NOT on the menu as listed being in the hot dog)...I took it off the bun and removed the sauce and then he ate it and said it was fine. His tater tots were awful...they had no flavoring other than burned oil...I don't know if they even had any salt on them. When we went to leave and take the rest of his hotdog and my wife's burger to go we were told there were no to go boxes... So I figured out how to fold the paper to cover the food to go...but just weird. My wife commented that it was sort of like if you were robbing a bank and had to pretend to work there...everyone just seemed...off... Of all the places we have been in San Antonio this is the first one I wouldn't go back to. And seriously, the burger is good...even very good (the bun is really unique)...but awful ambiance, no service, and everything else was very bad. Wife and son also commented that the bathrooms were not maintained and doors couldn't be locked.

    Everything was lovely. We had wanted something new and passed by this place, we are glad we did. It was super cute inside with paintings and flamingos. The burgers were limited in choice but they were extremely unique and tasty. Very fresh tasting. The staff was very very nice and treated us as friends. Had a great time and definitely on our list! Would recommend!

    The bacon cheddar, seasoned fries (crispy on the outside), HeyHey sauce.
    Regina R.

    I have had burgers everywhere. I thought I had a favorite until I tasted the burgers at Unko Maui's. Every single ingredient in the burger was fantastic. The bacon was high quality and cooked correctly. The meat patty was tasty without overwhelming seasoning. The cheese was delicious, and I'm normally not a cheese fan. The bun- wow! The fries had that crispiness on the outside that I always hope for. The HeyHey sauce was a tangy delight. The little cream filled pastry was surprisingly airy and light. Carla was exceptional in walking us through the menu ideas based on things we like with great patience. The level of service was that of a high-end restaurant. We can't wait to go back for what truly is THE best burgers in San Antonio.

    Very good vibes and tasty food. Now somehow I forgot I was going to eat at a Hawaiian themed placed and should have remembered that these are the Sam Choy size entrees. Best mozzarella sticks I've had (enough for two and I got the small one), the burger-huge (again for two) and a house salad (do I need to say it again). The people working there are great. So definitely a place to visit many times.

    Absolutely fantastic place! I really enjoyed the first soft opening, now the grand opening made it official! The service here is awesome, if you've been to Mikes other location you know all staff and him are the best. This location is very spacious and lots of seating, it feels almost old school but I enjoy it. Over all for the prices AND quality, id hugely recommend it.

    Moko Loko Burger with side of Brown Gravy.
    David F.

    Walked in and was served immediately! The burgers are delicious. Very flavorful and the buns were so soft! I had the Moko Loko Burger. The gravy made that burger an A++! It has a large patio outside with plenty of tables. And the inside is cool and homey.

    We have been hooked on their burgers from Maui's on Main, so finding out they were opening a burger focused spot was exciting. So here we go.. as any brand new spot, on the day of opening (actually 30 mins in) they had some minor hurdles. They did not deter my experience because I understand they are brand new and not everything can be perfect all the time.. but for the sake of transparency here it goes. We ordered 2 burgers to-go but they came out on regular trays and we were advised they didn't have any to-go containers yet, but gave us brown bags and a plastic bag, for us to politely figure out. We decided to stay and eat.. but then noticed that they learned from that situation and actually wrapped to-go orders in paper bags themselves for other customers as they came. I ordered a plain and dry burger for my kid, but it came with cheese, which was enthusiastically and immediately remediated.. Now, the burgers.. by far one of the best ones I've had. Their secret sauce is delicious and is such a great complement to the burger. Their bread lightly toasted is so fluffy and sweet. My kid's comment as he took his first bite "mmm mmm mmm this is so delicious, mm" coming for a picky eater this is probably the best compliment! This will definitely be added to our burger joints rotation, they are so delicious and the staff was extremely friendly and always catering to the patrons!

    Beacon Hill Market and Deli rests easy, like a good saddle that's seen its share of miles and still…read morefits just right. It's the kind of place folks drift into and, before long, start calling their own. The people there carry themselves with quiet pride--no fuss, no show--just a steady hand at their work and a genuine welcome for whoever steps through the door. The menu ain't thrown together. It's been shaped with care, like a well-tuned string on a guitarra, each choice meant to stand on its own but better still when taken together. The flavors come through bold and honest, with a little flourish here and there--nothing overdone, just enough to remind you somebody back there knows what they're about. It's a small spot, sure, but that only draws folks closer. Feels a bit like gathering under a shaded porch after a long day--easy talk, shared laughter, and the sense you're among friends, whether you've known 'em years or just met 'em. Every greeting carries the warmth of old ties, like you've been welcomed back rather than simply let in. And the food--well, it doesn't hold back. Each bite's got a richness that settles in and makes you slow down, take notice, and then go back for more. It's the kind of meal that stays with you, the way a good story does. Spend a little time there with friends, and you'll come away knowing you've found something true--a place where the spirit of San Antonio, with its charro heart and neighborly ways, lives on in every plate set down and every hand extended in welcome.

    Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

    Avoided due to anticipated problems with parking…read more Pearl is so filled with affected and editorial instagram locals in some sort of daily cosplay of care free affluence when in fact many are broke as hell. There are others mainly business class or tourists but they stay at Hotel Emma and definitely have money, or their employer's corporate card. Then there are the real carb eating customers who are there to actually consume goods. I finally had a free weekday to go to Pullnam now two years after they opened and loved my experience. Parking in the Pullman market was easy. It really is $0 with validation and for up to 2 hours. I was looking for ground flax, they only had whole. Looking for cinnamon infused honey, they did not have. Just weird shit like lavender infused. I enjoyed the elevated feel of the place, very transporting and nicely curated with so many spaces in and out doors to sit and people watch or just hang out with friends. Ate at Fife and Faro for a simple pizza and pomodoro pasta.

Surprised in a bad way by the chicken sandwich. Could not believe that the Pullman Market would serve compressed chicken instead of a real chicken breast. Tasted like manufactured chicken. I should have said something that day and asked for my money back, it was so bad. Do not recommend. We love shopping at the market, and were excited to try one of the establishments inside. Very disappointed.
