Cheeseburgers, coke, onion rings... if you are looking for the basics and in the mood for fast food, this is a good place to try. I liked the food, especially the onion rings, but my husband said it was average and there were other places to try.

Average burger, kinda expensive. You can get better burgers at sit down places for around the same price. Shaved ice next door was good tho.

Most in the family had burgers and I had a chili dog. Across the board the consensus was that the food was okay. Few frills.

We have to hit Bubba’s at least once each trip to Kauai. I really enjoyed the double patty teriyaki with pineapple. My wife had the basic single with cheese and we shared the fries which made a perfect little snack. We had signed up before arriving for the Bubba’s card and that provided free drinks for both of us which... More

Pretty disappointed with how average this place was. Food was just ok, prices were average ($4 starting price for a burger +$1 cheese or lettuce/tomato). Very little place to sit, no bathrooms. The cool part is the photos of celebs on the walls.

I heard rave reviews about this place so we had to go. What a disappointment. The burgers we ordered were overdone and dry. On the bright side the staff working there was very pleasant and the service was fast. I probably won't go back!

It was great vacation spot to have a low key lunch. The fun atmosphere added to the experience. We just needed a burger after many fancy expensive meals and the place just hit the spot. Very tasty! Not sure what kind of beef it was but was certainly a higher quality.

After hiking the famed Kalalau trail from nearby Ke'e beach, this it the spot. It was not crowded but it still took a bit as everything was freshly cooked to order. The burgers were tasty and definitely not fast food cheap, but as they say, hamburgers should not be cheaper than dog food and this Kauai grass fed beef was... More

if you just did the 8 mile hike starting from Haena...this is the place to refuel. Grab a milk shake and Teriyaki Burger and you will not be sad.

Wasn't busy at all, waited 5 minutes and sat at bar table and got to watch the cook make our burgers. Relaxed and fun atmosphere. Burgers were legit, no onions on mine, and didn't need to ketchup/lettuce/tomatoe. Better than Cali in-n-out!
