Description:

Sup bloggers. Allow me to introduce the second category of burgers in the burger blog: The fast food / take-out burger. Unlike the first post on Islands, which I considered a "Gourmet Burger", this category is dedicated to the faster, on-the-go type of places. After all, comparing a Kua Aina burger to a Burger King burger wouldn't be fair. Aight, on to the review.

Not exactly what's shown on the menu...

To be honest, I didn't even know this place existed until a little while ago. It's in the far corner of the Ala Moana food court and most of you would probably never walk there. I just remember thinkin, Hey, I like cheeseburgers. Why they gotta stick the burger place all the way over here? It should be in the main area! But then I ordered this thing and everything made sense. For $6.39, I wasn't really expecting much, but this cheeseburger was pretty bad. The burger itself was probably a cheap frozen patty that you could buy from any supermarket, and I am 90% sure the "sauce" is thousand island dressing or something similar. I probably could have made this burger myself, except faster and better tasting. The burger patty was dry and the whole thing was drenched in "sauce." Oh, and another thing. Despite the picture of the meal showing a decent amount of onions inside the burger, there are none. It's just lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sauce. The only good thing about the meal was the fries. Again, probably store bought frozen, but they didn't screw those up.



Verdict: Don't be fooled by the burger shown on the giant light up menu behind the counter. This burger is not that big and juicy and there are no onions. Honestly, I probably would have preferred any fast food burger over this place. For the same price you could get something faster and better tasting. This place is located in the dark corner of the food court for a reason.
