Sign wave caught our attention on way into Kona town from our Kohala Coast hotel. We decided to try it and while the burgers were good (but greasy) it did not disappoint,

From the service to the burger, no complaints whatsoever . Except that I had to use a fork to eat the rest of the mushrooms that fell off my burger. The burgers are better at ultimate!!!! This is the place where the juices flow escapes the burger and run down your fingers.... Finger licking good......a definite return is on the... More

Stopped by for a quick dinner and wanted to try the local beef versus the normal fast food fare. The place was dirty and sticky, we almost walked out. We were tired and succumbed to the need for food. Pleasantly the burger was good. Nice and juicy. Order "pink" - it comes cooked all the way through but is nice... More

I tried this place a while ago and was not impressed. I figured maybe they were having an "off" day so I recently decided to give them a second chance. Everything on their over priced menu is a la carte. I ordered a burger with cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions. I can't remember what my boyfriend ordered but we also... More

A little pricey, but the flavor was great. Would definitely recommend to someone not on a budget. Fresh and locally grown, maybe that's why a little high of the dollar

Small burger joint with fresh burgers...not frozen! You can get up to four 1/3 lb. patties on it with several toppings. We had the Ultimate Cheseburgers with fries. It was nice that the meat was fresh but really I didn't think it lived up to the hype. It was just an okay burger.

Dined on April 12th, 11:30 am. Very clean and brightly lit establishment...Genuinely friendly & helpful service...You place your order, have a seat inside or outside and they bring the food to your table...And they serve Kona Brewing Company Beer on tap... My wife had the Kids Slider ($3.99) and I had the Ultimate Cheeseburger ($7.99). The menu is simple and... More

A really great hamburger in a strip mall! But the burgers were great, cooked well, grass-fed local beef.

This place has great burgers and fantastic fries! It was recommended to us by several different people who live in the area. The restaurant says that everything is fresh daily, made from scratch from local ingredients - even including the meat used which comes from local farmers and ranchers whose cattle are only grass fed and are antibiotic and hormone...

I loved this place for so many reasons it is hard to just name a few. First of all their meat is 100% Grass Fed, free range, fresh ground; beef raised on the Big Island of Hawaii antibiotic and hormone free. The flavor of the meat is to die for, and so tender it almost melts in your mouth. The... More
