I got all of this for just under $15. That’s crazy for 2025, this place is a hidden gem! I got a 1/2 lb burger with fresh avocado and bacon, lettuce tomato. That’s double the meat you get at McDonalds largest burger, less expensive, and it’s fresh on a sweet bread bun. You can also get a full lb meat burger. The owner makes the fries fresh to order too, and I got a large drink. Burger is really juicy, I recommend getting it with the avocado and bacon. Store keeps the lights dim but they’re open. A lot of people come in to take their food to go. Really affordable and fresh
!!!!MUST TRY!!!!! Mom and Pop sandwich shop serves terrific food at almost unheard of low prices for Hawaii. **Best Ruben's**. Killer onion rings!! Awesome Philly cheese steak sub! Clean, courteous and consistently great.
First time visitor. Great prices for the amount of food. Only take out right now (covid 19). The gentleman who took my order was very soft spoken and somewhat hard to understand. The restaurant was clean. I had the burger with rice and eggs. I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
Had a bacon cheeseburger which exactly I wanted. Shop looks like dark, but the burger was excellent! You can stop by trekking Manoa valley.
I finally got around to trying this spot, and glad I did! The burger was delicious, just what I was craving. The service was quick, I didn’t have to wait long at all. Best part? It filled me up without putting a dent in my wallet
