Molokai Burger

Perfect cheeseburgers – fresh, handmade beef patties, crisp veggies, delicious bun… loved them. We ate here every day we were on Molokai and believe that Molokai burger serves the best food on the island!

I’ve eaten here every time I come work on Molokai and have noticed a trend of the food getting worse every visit.
Today I ordered the Loco Moco and was quite disappointed. Rice was obviously old and soggy, hamburger meat probably cooked an hour or two prior or they have a new supplier and gravy super watery. Total absence of any kind of seasoning.
The staff are friendly though, as always.

Not bad, but fish and chips greasy. Thought there was fresh Mahi-​Mahi but they didn’t have it. A little confusing, but pretty sure mine was frozen…

We ate there at least once if not twice a day! Amazing food! Moko Loco plate was out of this world… They don’t mess around with portions either… Great food, great food!

Right in town, patty’s are thin so order a double. Definitely worth stopping by on your visit to Molokai. They also have a drive through and open late.

This is a great place to eat in Molokai Hawaii. The double cheeseburger is wonderful. The staff was great. I would totally eat there again.

We stopped for lunch. I got the bacon chicken ranch sandwich which was very good. My husband said the pulled pork sandwich was okay. Both of us liked their french fries. Place was clean, staff friendly and reasonably priced. Would go back.

Solid Burger
FOOD:
I just had a classic burger with fries, but it was a solid choice. The portions were decent, the veggies were fresh and it filled the spot.
SERVICE:
It’s a fast food joint, but with friendly and speedy service for sure.
PRICE:
More expensive than you’d might expect on another island… but it’s not another island.

Fast food. That’s what it is so don’t expect something fancy. That being said, their burgers and fries are good. Small soda is exactly that. Service was good and the food was made fresh.
I had a Paniolo burger which has bbq sauce and a couple of onion rings. I didn’t notice until I sat down but they also have the same burger but with soda straw fried onions. That might work better since my onion came out in the first bite.
My wife had the Molokai cheeseburger which was really good. (I had one bite.) she said it reminded her of the Snow White Drive Inn she lived near when she was a kid. She asked me to add that «they had excellent burgers!!»

The Molokai cheeseburger was awesome but the paniolo burger my fiancé got was unreal! Definitely a must if your visiting Moloka’i

Average fast food $ 7 ish for a burger without a drink or fries. Relatively quick service.

When I think of Moloka‘i, I think of deer meat and fish because the people are awesome hunters, fishers, and farmers. The island of Moloka‘i doesn’t have a lot of restaurant options because the people use the forest and ocean as their refrigerator, which is awesome. I don’t usually think of restaurants, but Molokai Burger is one that I keep on going back to.
Molokai Burger is conveniently located in Kaunakakai town as an affordable option for your eating out cravings. They have fast food choices such as a variety of burgers and fried chicken, as well salads and full meals. I ordered a Molokai cheeseburger, which was a basic cheeseburger with a special sauce (mostly ketchup and mayo, I think). It didn’t look very big, but along with a side order of fries, I was satisfied with my meal. The burger was $ 5.10, and the fries were $ 2.50.
I was visiting with a friend who is gluten-​free and soy-​free, so you wouldn’t usually think that a burger place would have options for her, but she was able to order a salmon salad, which looked really good. I wanted to try some, but I didn’t want to steal any of her gluten-​free happiness.
The clientele is a mix of both locals and tourists, and there is free wifi and air conditioning, which was pretty nice considering that the summer is HOT and there’s not always cell phone service around the island.

Awesome little burger stop. Only place open «late night» in Kaunakakai. Food was delicious and cheap. Staff super nice. Gotta stop here for sure.

Overall, it was a medium level of goodness.
I had a fresh Ono sandwich which was mildly fishy, under-​seasoned and definitely under-​grilled (by a lad who looked like he might be underage), but then I slapped my onion rings unto the sandwich with some Fry Sauce from their condiment area and lo and behod, it was delicious! Gotta be creative when the food really isn’t hacking it.
My pal had a breaded chicken sandwich and complained of flavorlessness the whole time. He refused the «drown it in Fry Sauce» suggestion. His loss.
(The onion rings were TOO crispy, btw.)
Notable: There was a charming woman with gray hair who we found to be of lovely disposition, and an older caucasian male who attempted friendliness but was only half successful… but a point for effort, though it seemed minuscule. The rest of the staff were Hawaiian natives and couldn’t have cared any less that we even walked through the door.

You’re not going to find a lot of restaurants on Molokai. Molokai Burger is one of the five or so you’ll find on the island, and in this incarnation I use the term «restaurant» loosely here, folks.
This is a local cheeseburger/​hot dog/​french fry/​grindz meets casual American kinda joint. Think a whitewash, diner-​ish ambiance, raw burger patties formed by hand and thrown on the grill. You order, get a number, wait a bit, they call said number, you enjoy casual eats.
Molokai Burger rocks a basic but delicious cheeseburger! It feels sort of like a local Culver’s, if that means anything to you…
Cute & right in the heart of «downtown,» too!

I had the paniolo burger. It was very flavorful and delicious, but the onion ring it had on it was firm and required some serious gnawing from the teeth. Their fries were crunchy and warm on the outside with soft insides. Mmmm. My mom had a chicken sandwich and had to smother it in ketchup just to get any flavor. Besides that upset, everything else was good! One of the more affordable meals we had while on the island. Their sodas are extra small and are 75 cents to refill. They do take credit cards, so nice change of pace there. They also have free wifi! Better wifi than Hotel Molokai had.
Somebody in front of us had spring rolls put on their tray. I didn’t see spring rolls on the menu, but after seeing them, I sure wanted some of my own.

The fried chicken so good you can get six pieces for $ 10 the hamburgers are excellent big cheeseburger sweet potato fries they got plate lunch for $ 850 restaurant is clean air condition free Wi-​Fi plenty of parking must stop when visiting or getting chicken for beach

Nothing bad to say of this place. The food is made upon your order so it’s nice and fresh and warm when you eat. I had the chicken with onion sandwich and loved it! Their French fries and tarter tot portions were small but I was full after eating everything. My husband had the double cheese burger and liked it as well. Good service as well.

These are definitely the best burgers on Moloka’i. Using locally raised grass-​fed beef for all their burgers, they do burgers right.
My favorite items on the menu are the BBQ Bacon Burger, the mushroom burger, the Teri Chicken Salad (or plate) and the sweet potato fries with their special fry sauce. Their fried chicken is also excellent and probably one of the best fried chickens on the island.
I appreciate that they have really friendly staff, clean bathrooms and free wifi.
The only thing I wish they had was an unsweetened Ice Tea option (they only have a sweetened one) and they seem to never have onion rings, which is a major bummer.
But for sure the one thing that is keeping this from being a five star review is that they stopped serving their cole slaw. I heard it was because the cost was too high (really? Cabbage is like the cheapest vegetable around) but I’d be okay if they raised the price a bit and offered it again.
The reason I like it isn’t because I want to eat it by itself. It’s because their pulled pork sandwich went up to a whole new level of deliciousness when they used the cole slaw in it. It was AMAZINGLY good. But now, without the cole slaw? It’s just okay.
Please bring the cole slaw back! Your pulled pork sandwich isn’t the same without it!

During my visit to Molokai, I actually ate here twice. I had burgers both times. The first time was the Molokai Cheeseburger and second visit was Molokai mushroom burger. I liked both of them. I even chowed down on the husband’s fries and liked them, which is weird for me as I’m not a big fry fan. They give you a dipping sauce which I suspect is ketchup and mayo mixed together, but what do I know? The large drinks are HUGE… 44 ounces! I also really like that they carry both Pepsi products and Coke products. KUDOS for that!
The staff was pretty friendly — not overly so, but appropriately so. The location is quite clean, including the bathrooms. We got a kick out of the fact that the décor was so In-​N-​Out-​esque! They have free wi-​fi and a drive through. Definitely a good addition to the limited dining options on Molokai.
I recommend!
