Carl OG3 Burger Shop

Great burgers, long wait because of small staff. Fries are delicious too. If you want to experience a wagyu/Portuguese sausage burger mix, and you should, this is the spot to come.

We wanted a smash burger for lunch, so we had to decide between trying some place new or going to our usual place, The D****. One of the guys heard good things about Carl OG3 so he placed our order online and went to pick it up. Haha, he went to the location on Amana Street and learned that Carl OG3 moved to Young St. They now occupy space within Japanese B.B.Q. Yoshi on Young Street, behind what I still call the First Interstate Building. He brought back our food but by the time he returned, my burger was at room temperature and the fries were not crispy. Those two are on us, not the restaurant. Three of us ordered “The One”, a Snake River Farms 100% premium American wagyu beef patty, tomato bacon jam, blue cheese, American cheese, onion, jalapeno, & special sauce in a soft bun ($14.49). We each added an order of fries ($2.99). The fourth person ordered The Classic Cheeseburger ($8.99) and fries ($2.99). Our thoughts: Those of us that ordered “The One” thought that the tomato bacon jam and slices of jalapeno overwhelmed the meat. We couldn’t taste the Wagyu beef. We opined that a second patty was needed to offset the intense flavors of the toppings, but that would increase the price to $20.99. The person that ordered The Classic Cheeseburger liked his sandwich; he gave Carl OG3 a rating of 4; I rated it 3. When one compares The Classic Cheeseburger and fries from Carl OG3 versus a similar order from The D***, the cost tips in favor of Carl OG3 significantly, $11.89 versus $16. Are we willing to drive to pick up burgers versus a 5-minute walk? That question remains unanswered …

This place is so random lol (it shares a location with a Japanese steakhouse), but yummy! It was busy when we and there and there was one guy handling everything that wasn’t cooking. **he deserves a raise** This guy was fantastic and was incredibly kind. I took a star off cause my burger was kinda cold, yummy, but sure with the craze it just sat for a while.

We randomly found this spot and it’s a banger! We got their Portuguese sausage burger and it was so delicious. Very flavorful with the special sauce and the mustard and cheese. I couldn’t eat it faster! The fries were so good and if you’re anything like me and my fiancé, you like hella sauce on your fries (they deliver on that). Their sauce is slightly sweet which balances so well with the saltiness of the fries and bacon jam. The service was excellent, very quick and our server was incredibly sweet. This is now my favorite burger spot on the island and I will definitely come back.

Decided to grab a burger and I was waiting to try this place out. Overall experience is great, it is a must come back or highly recommend type vibe. We got The One and Chili burgers, as well as the OG3 Fries. The single server running that spot, I must say has a great personality. His customer service was on point. I was eyeing out the Kim Chee burger which I know is next on my list. Sorry people the French fries decided to eat quickly because they food smelt amazing. Its your basic krinkle cut fries with onion, jam and their special sauce (which is more of a mustard base). The restaurant is tucked away in another restaurant but worth the adventure, only reason why I knocked down the rating. If they decide to open later this place will easily grow clientele.

This place was great! We ordered "The One" and the Wagyu Deluxe both were amazing. The sauce they use on the burgers is excellent and really brings everything together. The buns had a sweet bread-like quality that was unique and super tasty. As we both took our first bites, the amount of juice coming from the burgers was insane in the best way! Fries could've used a bit more crisp, but overall, the food hit the spot. The interior was nice, with solid A/C keeping it cool and comfortable. Even the bathroom was impressive clean, well-maintained, and they even provide mouthwash if you need it. Service was awesome, she was friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a try. I'll be back again for sure!

Now located on Young Street in Honolulu where Yakiniku Yoshi is, Carl OG3 Burgers is a popluar spot with the lunchtime crowd🤙 Burgers are made to order so there may be a bit of a wait but when its served fresh and hot its worth it... 👍👍 Slightly on the pricier side, his burgers are filling and handmade with the Snake River Farms Wagyu and worth what you pay. His "The One" is simply awesome with the sweet onion relish and blue cheese and the spuce of the jalapeno. Add an extra patty to it.... Its a filling burger and tied for tops for best burger on island (Delicious Burger is the other fave)🤙5 stars

The burgers are good, but very salty and fatty tasting. If you’ve ever had a deep fried burger, that’s what it tastes like (probably because they have a lot of fat in their grind…?). The prices are fair - @ $20 for a double cheeseburger. We got a side of fries for $3 and it had maybe 10 fat crinkle fries. The service is very slow; there was only one waiter. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers; it was busy, but there were plenty of seats available. It took about 30min to get our burger, which is slow for lunch. Parking may be an issue, there were no open spots in their little lot when we arrived.

The best burger I've ever had was in Nara, Japan. But I have to say, after trying The One here in Honolulu, I might have to change my mind. I don't think we would have ever found this place had it not been for our local friend on the island. He knows all the good spots! It's basically a Japanese burger shop in the daytime and a Japanese BBQ place at night. But this isn't just your ordinary burger - there is just flavor after flavor after flavor! The One is their signature Burger and it will not disappoint. It's 100% premium American wagyu beef, tomato bacon jam, blue cheese, American cheese, onion, and their special sauce on a soft, chewy, fluffy bun. Oh, and their fries! So crispy, so potato-y, it was the best crinkle fries in history. Try The One basket fries and share it with your crew. So good! The sweet Japanese lady in charge of this hamburger goodness is so sweet, attentive and proud of her menu. We ate here twice on our 7 day trip, and can't wait to come back to have it again! Come and get it! To be honest, I kind of wanted to gate keep this place, so it isn't overrun with tourists. Honestly, I might delete this post later. If you found this review - lucky you!

6/21/25 Everything Good that's been said about their burgers, fries n service is true We only waited about 15 minutes for our hot "Goodies" My better half had the "Cheeseburger" n it was just dripping juices n sauce EZ four napkins worthy She ate it up! I had "The One" their signature burger Double Smashed Patties of course w bacon jam bleu cheese tomatoes... Saucy Juicy Delicious! Tip: Fellow diner ate her burger in the most gracious way She kept all that juiciness contained by keeping it wrapped in the paper basket liner... No Spillage So I copied Ha Ha because wifey n another friend were a mess We had Fun n Ate Well Ojisan "Arigatou!"

Went here last weekend to try a wagyu burger since I recently returned from kyoto, after having the best burger in my life (Dragon Burger). Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not crowded. It took a long time to be seated and a long time to get order in. And quite a while to get our burgers too. I could see others getting annoyed at how long everything was taking. But we had no plans, as we had just finished our errands for the day. There was only 1 boy serving, cashiering, and being host. He was NOT diner dashing. BUT after all that waiting, I have to say my wagyu cheeseburger deluxe was very satisfying, so juicy and delicious. Fries were good too, piping hot, crispy on the outside and so potato-y! Try it when you're not too hungry and have a couple hours, preferably with someone who likes to talk story, and not si silently across you on their cellphone. Yum

Carl Og3 Burger Shop is technically on Young Street, but don't look for a traditional storefront. It operates during the day inside a Japanese BBQ joint, which explains the vaguely disjointed atmosphere -- yakiniku grills on the tables, the smell of char lingering in the air, and a menu of burgers taped to a folding stand near the door I went for the Kaheka Smash, added a second patty, and appreciated the price point ($12 for a double). There's some ambition in this burger -- a kick of spice from the Portuguese sausage, a thin char on the patties, and a squish of umami from the sauce. But ambition only gets you so far when the whole thing crumbles like dry cornbread halfway through. Messy is fine. Structurally unsound, less so Tried the OG3-style fries too. Cheesy, with a tomato bacon jam on top that sounded better than it tasted. Mostly just felt like loaded fries that gave up halfway through Worst part? The service. One poor server juggling an entire dining room meant 30 minutes to place an order and a full hour to get the food. The table next to us never got cleaned. Not blaming the staff -- this is a management issue

Wow! The One Burger tastes amazing. You get a little heat from the jalapeños with subtle sweetness. Got take out. Service was great. Didn't wait too long. It's very clean.

I was told by a friend that these are the best burgers on island. I finally found some time on a weekday lunch to be able to try some, and I'm glad I did! My friend and I shared the one and cheeseburger deluxe with a basket of fries. These burgers were mean, and I'm glad we shared to get a taste of both types of burgers. I don't really know how to describe the ones, but it was bursting with flavor and has a spicy touch to it. The cheeseburger deluxe was good to enjoy a classic burger. We came for a later lunch, so there was parking in their lot. I could definitely see it getting crowded during lunch time though. Our server was super nice and helpful. I will definitely be coming back here! I wish they had longer hours for when their burgers are sold though!

I ordered one Wagyu deluxe burger, two Wagyu cheeseburgers, and two grass fed beef cheeseburgers. With 4 fries. Everyone enjoyed the burgers and said they were delicious, well priced for what you get. Also The bun texture was sturdy but yet soft so the Juiciness of the burger did not make a soggy bun! However, one of the cheese burgers had 3 hard bone fragments or cartilage definitely hard; luckily they spit it out and didn't crack their teeth. After the third piece they stop eating their cheeseburger I don't blame them. It was the only burger to have that. I wanted to call rather than post but they don't have a contact number only at an ordering website. Definitely will try again. Looking forward to trying the one OG. Hopefully no hard fragments.

We came here for a late lunch and we were pretty amazed with how great the burgers are! My friend and I both ordered the wagyu cheeseburger deluxe and shared a basket of fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful! It was dripping a lot because of how juicy it was haha. It was seasoned nicely and overall just a great smash burger. The fries were crinkle cut and they were nice and crispy. The service was a bit slow but that's because there was only one server. But he did a great job trying to attend to all tables since the restaurant was pretty full! He even checked up on us a lot to ask how we were doing so that was nice. I would definitely come here again!

Carl and Sean/Shaun/Shawn were closed for Super Bowl Sunday (I missed the IG memo)c but they were SO kind to accommodate me and my friends for a to-go order when we swung by in hopes of dining in. We didn't order a couple of burgers either, we ordered 6 burgers and they provided. The Wagyu cheeseburger deluxe is my absolutely favorite and too good to pass up if you have the opportunity to try it! It is easy to miss since there is no sign that says Carl Og3 Burger Shop; instead, they share the space with Japanese BBQ Yoshi (who operates at night), so don't drive pass these amazing chefs and delicious burger joint!

The restaurant is very clean and the ambiance is nice and relaxing with nice calming music being played. It wasn't very crowded. Took almost an hour for our food to be brought out to us. There were 2 other parties that came after us and they were finished before we even got our food. Our server needed to be prompted to give us napkins. The food was ok, nothing spectacular Probably won't be recommending or returning.

Had "the one" and it didn't disappoint. Take a peek inside and see the sweet + spicy + sour flavors that come through. My only regret is that I had gotten the double up.

Wow, such a SOLID burger place! Dropped by during work to pick up lunch and there were quite a bit of people inside so getting my burger took a while. The staff is super friendly and took my order relatively quickly so I sat at the bar to wait a bit. It looks like the inside is a Japanese bbq place and even though it was a smidge packed, it was pretty quiet. I ordered the fried kimchee burger and added an egg (yes, in this economy) and a basket of fries. The fries were still hot and crispy by the time I got home but the burger. The BURGER. I know when I have a proper burger when I have to break out a proper hunch to eat the burger. It's so soft and juicy and the flavors were absolutely on point. The bun was nice and soft, the patty and the cheese were so good, the kimchee brought just the right amount of spice and acidity, and the egg tied it all together. Will definitely be back to get more burgers but will order in advance next time!

First time going here and I was confused by the exterior of the burger shop since it didn't seem like a burger shop. I was crvaing for a burger and saw this place on Google Maps. Thankfully, I saw the burger shop sign on an a-frame in front of the shop which let me know I was at the right spot. Please also keep in the mind that the shop hours listed in front of the shop are inaccurate and that the hours of operation you find online (such as on Yelp) are correct. :) Wagyu cheeseburger ($11.99): Smashburger with diced onions, American cheese, pickles, sauce, and fluffy, buttery buns. The single patty was just enough to make me full. The burger itself was not overly oily or greasy at all. I'm not personally a fan of pickles usually but the pickles went well with the burger and I ended up eating it! Gotta be one of the best smashburgers I've had so far. The OG3 Style Fries were awesome as is with all the toppings it had. My favorite part was the tangy sauce on top of it. I wish I knew what the sauce was made of. However, it does feel like there's a lot of flavors going on at the same time when eating those fries and the burger I ordered. I'll probably just get the burger and regular fries next time. Although... I would definitely order both the og3 style fries *and* the wagyu cheeseburger if I'm feeling hungover haha. Overall, it's interesting to see how a burger shop operates in a yakiniku-looking restaurant. I love that there's ample settings for groups and that it doesn't get too packed inside. The only "negative" is that parking can be tight but I have nothing negative to say about the establishment itself.

I finally got to eat the Chili Hot dog! The chili was so delicious. I love hot dogs and I love chili. Question is how did their bun hold every delicious bite securely until the last ono bite? The other 5 people ate a total of 6 burgers loving every bite. We shared 3 baskets of fries with special sauce. I'll be back there still burgers and hot dogs I haven't tried.

Carl OG3 (pronounced Carl Ojisan) Burger Shop is not the easiest to find because they don't have permanent signage as they utilize the kitchen of Japanese BBQ Yoshi during the day. You can dine in, if you're able to score parking in the small lot (or find street parking of course), but if not, call ahead or just order online. It's always better eating it fresh though. But gotta warn you they do get busy. Ive been a few times and have never seen them empty. We've tried The One, OG3 cheeseburger deluxe, and the fried Kimchee cheeseburger, as well as the OG3 style basket fries (comes with a special saude, The One jam and onion). Although everything was good, we always come back to The One. The buns are always nicely toasted and flavor is perfect. I'm not a big fan of blue cheese but theirs just meshes so well with the burger. Although the fries aren't bad, they're not my favorite as I'm a shoestring fries kinda person. Although as far as crinkle cut fries go, these are still pretty good.

Kids treat for father's day as dad is carnivore Same spot as Yoshi I dont usually eat much red meat but hey it's a holiday... Burgers were juicy flavorful Love that its Grass fed healthier beef! Fries were crisp and tender Kept wanting to try this plc! So glad we did We were welcomed and seated promptly, burgers took a while because it got BUSY!! Also means care is put into your food despite the crowd It was excellent! Service is friendly! So all around it was great!

A little nervous about bleu cheese in "The One" burger, but it was really good, all the flavors worked really well together. The fries were only ok, sizable portion. "The One" was expensive at $16 but the quality was noticeably better than your typical $6-12 burger. We were lucky and found a parking spot but it's a small lot, and finding parking around the area would've been difficult otherwise. They have an online order option, but we opted to eat inside. The restaurant was pretty empty but we went, but we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food to come, I imagine there were a lot of online orders ahead of me. The service was friendly.

Oh my! Best smash burger I've had in town so far. Call ahead for pickup since everything is made to order. I tried the original double cheeseburger (no fancy dressings or add ons) and was blown away. The party was super juicy and beefy. The veggies crisp. The bun perfectly toasted, buttered, and pillowy soft. My husband kept stealing bites off mine so I'll have to go back to get him his own. Service was so friendly. Parking is tough with a tiny lot. Will definitely return!!

Everything was perfection! Food, service, decor, ambiance... even the bathroom was lovely. We ordered The One Burger and the Deluxe Cheeseburger (with an egg) and fries. It was all excellent!!

Finally got to the new location and with trepidation for that same amazing burger! Happy to report that while the location has moved the Taste is unchanged ! Best burger on the island without question!

I think these are the best smashed burgers on the island so far! They tasted fresh and delicious. The fries were crunchy. My order included: "The One", a basket of fries, and a double "Bacon Egg Burger" with extra chili. The subtotal before tax was $40.47 (as of 09/22/24). Tip: I wanted to avoid the potential wait and/or crowded parking, so I put in my order online the prior day and arranged for pick up the following morning. My order was hot and ready when I came to pick it up.

Carl Og3 ("Ojisan") Burger Shop is located on Young Street in the same place as Japanese BBQ Yoshi. Don't be mistaken like us! The Wagyu cheeseburgers were so good here! We ordered the Wagyu cheeseburger (a single deluxe and double) & the patties were super tasty and the bun was delicious. The Og3 burgers were good too but I definitely recommend getting the Wagyu burgers and go all out! Thick, crinkle cut fries served here. Small parking lot (maybe 7-10 stalls).

Who doesn't enjoy a good burger? This is the place to go if you're craving a juicy, hand-pressed, smash burger here in Honolulu. We regularly visit Carl's and have consistently experienced great service and delicious food. The last time we were there was St. Patrick's day and they even had green buns! The buns, by the way, are soft and complement the burger perfectly by helping to soak in some of the juice. The crinkle cut fries are hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. They make for an excellent combination of starch and protein. We Will Be Back!

On Young Street with a small parking lot in the front, Carl Og3 Burger Shop is on the smaller side. There are a decent amount of tables inside but it is not huge. The restaurant felt a bit dark but lighted enough to see. The service has always been friendly but the food can take a decent amount of time to be made. I would recommend ordering ahead if you don't want to wait. I like The One burger and I think it is so good! Maybe one of the best on the island. The fries are also super good -- crunchy and fresh. We enjoy coming to Carl's and hope to be back again soon!

Finally made it as service wraps up at this location. Won't comment on location since they're about to move but the service was quick, efficient and friendly. The staff came by several times to check on us and make sure things were good. The burgers were gloriously messy and delicious. The patties were perfectly seasoned and cooked, the toppings were fresh and everything was on point down to the crispy fries with the perfect (for me) amount of salt.

Burgers are 5 stars, delicious, juicy, cooked just right...yum. Service was 4 stars, the server was nice but service (getting drinks, napkins, etc. was a little on the slow side. Ambiance, it's in the space of a Japanese bbq restaurant so it's ok. Parking was a little tight, but the burgers were worth the wait. The crinkle cut fries were cooked to perfection.

We just picked up an order for lunch and were so excited to get our cheeseburger fix, but unfortunately, the burger patties were quite burned. It was a shame because the burgers looked so good! All of the burger toppings were fine (we asked for no special sauce since I didn't care for it the last time we ate here,) but the true winner of the meal was the basket of fries. We opted for crispy fries and no salt since some places over season, which can ruin a meal, and they were cooked to perfection. If you're going to be sharing fries for take out, get the basket. I'm hoping this was a one off thing where the chef accidentally left the burgers on the griddle for too long, but I guess we'll have to test that theory out some other time. Fingers crossed our next burgers won't be the same.

Landed in Honolulu around lunch time and got a tip from a friend about this burger place. I drove there and I almost miss it because it's inside a Japanese bbq restaurant and it's kind of confusing, maybe they share the place and do burgers at lunch? Anyway, we all got Wagyu cheeseburgers with bacon and they were super juicy and delicious. Service was a bit slow, but whatever we enjoyed the place and the food. Recommended!

I recently tried the burgers here and they were excellent. I walked over from my Condo and first went to their old location on the ground floor of a Condo building on Amana Street. The security guard there informed my partner and I they had relocated to Young Street. We couldn't decide if we should walk further to their new location or go somewhere else. I'm glad we decided to continue walking. Their new place is located where BBQ Yoshi Restaurant on Young Street is. They use it during the day! It was so nice to sit in a comfortable space with air conditioning. We both had the Cheeseburger and Fries. It was all you would want a burger to be and more! I will be back to have one of their Wagyu burgers on my next visit.

What a great burger place find! Located on the ground floor of a Condo. By day it's Carl Og3 Burger Shop and by night it's a Yakiniku restaurant. They have customer parking in the parking garage under the bldg. and when we went, there were several open stalls. It wasn't busy when we went but started to get busy once we were seated. Large dining area with plenty of tables and chairs and a clean restroom. There was only one server at the time and she was friendly and informative. The burgers are smash burgers, soft juicy and tasty. I ordered "The One" burger, you can order a single or a double. Wagyu beef, Tomato Bacon Jam, Blue Cheese, American Cheese, Onion and Jalapeño, it was dripping all over my hand, so juicy and flavorful. My husband ordered a special burger that they had that day. He ordered the "Chili Burger" and he really enjoyed it. We ordered a basket of Crinkle Fries, we like it crispy and they provided that. Ordered Coffee Ice Cream for dessert. I would definitely recommend this place and will go back when we are in the mood for a juicy burger!

I had a doctor appointment in the area, so what better way to eat a burger after a health check-up? I went right at opening time of 10:30, and already there were 4-5 take out orders being processed. I opted to dine in and eat everything as fresh as possible. They have a pretty extensive menu with only a few sides. They really have a large focus on the different burgers, and for good reason. Chuck/Brisket Blend Double up: 10/10. Wow, this is quite a burger. Double patty, cheese, caramelized onions, and mayo. The Bun is also slightly toasted. It is very juicy and requires at least 3 napkins to get through. There is a preparation time of at least 10 minutes - which ups the anticipation and seemingly made the burger tastier. Badket of Fries: 7/10. They came out piping hot, lightly salted, and had a nice light flavor. They went well with the burger, but I think on their own they would not have been as good. I'm not saying they are bad , but the burgers are on a high pedestal that there is a significant gap between the 2 items. Yuzu Sorbet: 9/10. I like Yuzu Sorbet. I can't think of anything negative about it. It was a great end to the burger and fries (I asked for it to come after I finished everything). It was a decent sized scoop, and it barely melted as I slowly enjoyed it. Total time from seating to paying and leaving was around 27 minutes. This is a great burger joint. Don't let the strange name deter you from coming. I will definitely be back soon!

burgers and hot dogs are delicious! we tried the OG3 cheeseburger deluxe, the classic cheeseburger and kimchi burger. And hot dog with ketchup, mustard, onion and relish.

They're inside the Japanese Bbq place! And they might very well have the best burgers on the island. And this is coming from a burger expert! Lol. And most definitely they have the best buns out there. If you appreciate a high-quality bun, you'll be pleased.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this was frustrating enough to say something. I came here recently and ended up waiting for an hour for two burgers and a hot dog. No updates, no apology--just a long, slow crawl of orders barely moving as more customers come in through the door waiting to be seated. The food itself was actually decent once it arrived, but it's hard to enjoy a burger when you've spent 50+ minutes getting increasingly hangry. If this place wants to keep customers coming back, they really need to fix their staffing or kitchen workflow. Either they're severely understaffed or totally disorganized. Either way, an hour for a burger just isn't acceptable.

The smashed burgers here are super good and huge. If you're craving a seriously good burger, Carl OG3 Burger is the spot! I had the Egg Bacon Burger, and it was HUGE--juicy, flavorful, and just straight-up ono. Definitely worth it, but heads up--the wait was about 30 minutes, so it's best to call ahead or order online. Totally hitting this place up again!

This was on the must-try list for awhile, and it's truly a must have!! Luckily found street parking close by, tho had to pay since it was a Saturday. The restaurant shares the space with a Japanese yakiniku restaurant, so by day is hamburgers and night is yakiniku. It's a large dining area with lots of (yakiniku) tables. I can imagine how busy og3 gets, as we were there around 11 on a Saturday, and it quickly filled up by the time we were finished. Although service for us was fine, it can be a wait when busy, as other reviewers have mentioned. There's only 1 person dedicated to the front of the house. She does a good job, but people get overlooked when she has to seat, take orders, attend to customers, and bring out food. As it got busy during the latter part of our meal, she forgot the extra napkins I asked for and water wasn't refilled because she got sidetracked taking orders while there were also customers waiting to be seated. Tho I prefer engaging with a server, an online menu and dine-in customer ordering system would benefit this establishment to free up the limited staff. Food was 5 stars. Hubby had The One. He loved the jalapenos in it, and I loved the hint of bleu cheese from the bite I had. I had the special chuck/brisket blend with caramelized onions, cheese, and umami mayo. It was juicy, drippy, and oh so good! We also added a basket of fries. Loved that they were crinkle cut fries - crunchy, perfect salt in compliment with the burger, lots for 2 people to share, but would have liked more ketchup. Phenomenal lunch... we'll be back soon!

I love this place. Fast service and good food! My bf took me and it was in town, Honolulu. Wish had one near me.

Amazing burgers in a comfortable joint. My daughter just told me that it was the best burger she has ever had!

This is the best burger I've ever had! Seriously, The One should be the only One you need to buy! If you're a purist, try the OG3 Cheeseburger or Wagyu Cheeseburger. But, if you want a unique flavor sensation, get The One. For $14.49, it starts with wagyu beef, then topped with tomato bacon jam, blend cheese, american cheese, onion, jalapeño, and special sauce. It's savory, a little sweet, with some heat. Decadent! Carl OG3 is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30am to 3pm. There's free underground parking, which is a big plus for me! You can dine in or take out. Online ordering is available, too. It's so good that I went two days in a row.

Great service! :) I am not a fan of crinkle cut fries but you can request for it to be extra crispy and it made me enjoy it. The burgers are also great it is still somewhat juicy but has that nice crisp of a smash burger. Very customizable, you can remove any part of the burger you don't like. I did not eat the buns but I could've requested Lettuce wraps.

This was my first time ordering. I did get a take out order and I was thinking a 30 minute wait for take out? Oh well I will try it. I think I was their first order of the day too. My first bite was amazing. I ordered their regular burger with lettuce and tomato's. It was delicious. The burger was juicy and fresh. It kinda tasted like a really, Really, REALLY good big Mac without all that additive and preservative crap. I think it cost about $12 which is very reasonable for a freshly made burger. Definitely a must try!!!

This place is such a hole in the wall! Absolutely love my burger! I ordered myself 'The One' and this burger had so much complexity in flavors yet incredibly well balanced. If you're looking into trying something unique, I highly recommend their The One burger. Good slight kick and the bleu cheese has a nice balancing flavor with your wagyu meat. Absolutely amazing! Our waitress was incredibly sweet and friendly! I also got myself a coke and they provided a cup full of ice and that's exactly how I love drinking my coke...extremely cold!! My fiancé got the Wagyu Cheeseburger and if you're into the traditional taste of a cheeseburger, then this is the one for you! Absolutely delicious! Soft sweet buns and meaty flavor! Highly recommend going to this place!! I'd love to see their business thrive even further!!

The service was atrocious! It was mid day and not busy at all. Took nearly an hour to get a burger and they messed up the order. Spending $24 on a burger is insane if I have to wait an hour.

One of our favorite places for smash burgers. Menu is nice and simple & you have 4 burgers to choose from. We always go with "The One." The One comes with a Wagyu beef patty, their special tomato bacon jam, blue cheese, American cheese, onions, jalapeño & their special sauce. The burger hits all the senses and it's delicious. I would just say you have to try and experience it for yourself to know. If you don't like certain parts of the burger they're also willing to omit let's say the blue cheese for example. You can choose to pair your burger with some fries which comes available as 1 serving or the basket which serves 4. Parking: is available in the underground parking garage but it's very limited. We can never find an open slot but metered street parking is also available. Lots of seating is available inside as the location works as a yakiniku restaurant by night. They are kid friendly and have high chairs available too. We always crave their burgers & can't wait to go back.

Finally got to check out Carl OG3 shop located on Amana St. thanks to all my fellow Yelpers posting and giving such reviews about this burger place . Yes their burger are good smash burger type and grass feed beef. The menu is very simple they have 3 choices of burger and crinkle fries to choose from . I had their "The One" it has everything on the burger from bacon jam, onion, Jalapeño, tomato, blue cheese, American cheese, onion and special sauce. It was very good a little messy so you'll need extra napkins. My wife had the Kaheka Smash which has a spicy Portuguese sausage mix into the burger onion, cheese , yellow mustard . She also said it was good especially their basket of crinkle fries nice and hot with a hint of salt . In the evening this same burger joint turns into a yakiniku restaurant although I talked with our server and she said they will be close until December the Yakiniku restaurant side . So right now it's only Carl OG3 shop . Support local

Ordered online about 10 min before and pulled up to park right in front of the stairs to the restaurant. We ordered 2 baskets of fries, 4 classic cheeseburgers and 2 of "The One"s. There was still about a 15 min wait but the burgers were worth it. Crinkle cut fries crispy but unfortunately it was just packed in a paper, a tray would be nice to keep things together. Food quality and taste a 5 out of 5. I decided to add on 2 cans of soda to wash things down and to my suprise it was $5.76. Probably $2.50 for a can of soda. All in all meal was great. The bun was the perfext texture to hold together a tasty burger. The one had that delicious bacon jelly and jalapenos making it salty and sweet. I would come again but pack my own or wait till I got home to have my drink.

This is probably my favorite burger on the island but they need a faster cook. It sounds like he cooks one burger at a time. I knew I was in trouble when I walked in and I saw almost all the tables sat but nobody had food. Other than that everything is perfect.

Burgers are delicious! Order ahead for faster service....but if u have to wait, staff are wonderfully nice!
