Teddy's Bigger Burgers

Best Burgers on the island period. The food is made to order and did not take long to come out. The portions are generous and well prepared. The meat is cooked medium with some red in the middle unless you request it differently. The fries taste great. They don't taste like they were left in the fryer. They taste as if they were cut fresh in the back. Sadly, the only bad thing I have to say is they serve coke instead of Pepsi. Other than that, they have a fountain dispenser, so you have refills.

This is a burger spot I’ve visited on all four of my trips to Hawaii. It offers great value for money and an authentic American burger experience. I recommend going with the classic menu, and the onion rings are a delicious side option. The restaurant isn’t the cleanest, so picking up your order might be a good idea. You can also order in advance via Uber Eats for convenience. I don’t recommend the chicken burger, as it’s too salty and tough, but if you’re with kids, the teriyaki burger is a tasty choice.

Stopped by Teddy’s Bigger Burgers near the Honolulu Zoo and ordered the Kilauea Fire Burger. While the patty was slightly overcooked, the burger still delivered on flavor. Flavorful burger with a touch of heat. We loved the charbroiled taste of the meat. The staff was super friendly as well.

For take out, 2:35pm, 01/26/2025. Ordered one bacado and small fries. Came home and, No avocados in the burger. Taste is good but, the restaurant was not busy at all. I wonder how employee forgot this +4.99 added avocado. Shame on you. You do not deserve to this nice burger place, burger boy.

I visited the restaurant to buy dinner. My son wanted to eat a nacho burger, but they told me that they had stopped selling it. When I asked again, they said they would consult with the chef and make it for me. The nacho burger was too spicy for me, but my son praised it as delicious. I ordered the original single patty. The patty was juicy and went well with the sauce.

<버거는 잘함. 팁받고도 인종차별도 잘함. 그래도 먹어보고 싶다면 투고 추천> They’re good at burgers, but also good at racism. If you still want to try, I recommend ordering to-go. I ordered a vocado and Hawaiian burger, onion rings, and a shake, but they didn’t give me a waiting number for the table (though other tables got one). The server slid the burger and onion rings onto the table as if tossing them. The burger is worth a try, and I recommend getting the patty cooked medium. When I went to ask about the drink since it hadn’t arrived, they said they forgot and gave it to me late. Even when they were taking my order, they mumbled as if they didn’t care, and their attitude felt dismissive.

Ok, people. I haven’t had a legit burger in 14 YEARS! I am HIGHLY sensitive to gluten, which makes it tricky when I’m on vacation. Who knew I’d find the best gf burger EVER right here in Waikiki Beach? The staff was attentive, willing to explain what was safe, and I felt like they went the extra mile for me. I can almost guarantee unless I’m eating in a gf designated facility, the risk of cross-contamination, especially in a fast food joint, is high for me and not worth the risk. I am so grateful we took a chance on Teddy’s Bigger Burgers! (The gf bun was the best I’ve had.) My husband, who does not eat gf, ordered the Hawaiian burger, and he loved it! I ordered the volcano burger. YUM! We’ll be back! Skip the fries as they don’t have a designated fryer. The shakes looked amazing if you’d like one of those.).

Don't get me wrong because the atmosphere is cool and all. Just basically filthy, nobody was policing the floors or dining areas. The wait was 30 minutes to order, another 30 minutes to the table. Burger was good the fries were soggy and not fresh at all. We had people with us who ordered onion rings that were good and crisp and another couple who ordered the tots and they were crispy as well. All in all a decent experience with less than average cleanliness, and the kitchen was slow.

CODY visited the Waikiki location CODY ordered the Kaneohe burger and beer onion rings CODY food was tasty CODY counter staff were friendly and speedy CODY dining area was spacious with nice view of the beach CODY did have to wipe down the table CODY will return to order more food

Teddy's "Not-So-Big" Burger: A Pricey, Cold Disappointment Teddy's Bigger Burgers promises a premium burger experience, but for $10.99, the reality was far from impressive. The 5-ounce patty is technically bigger than a quarter-pounder, but not by much--certainly not enough to justify the name or the price. Worse, the burger arrived cold and dry, making the experience even more underwhelming. When you're paying a premium, you expect at least a fresh, hot meal, but this felt like something that had been sitting around before making its way to my table. Then there were the onion rings--$7.95 for seven rings. At $1.14 per piece, they had better be exceptional, and while they had decent flavor, they weren't exactly mind-blowing. For nearly $20 total (no drink included), I expected a satisfying meal, but instead, I was left questioning why I hadn't just gone somewhere else. The wait time was excessive, adding insult to injury when the food finally arrived cold. For comparison, Golden Arches gave me a full meal- double cheeseburger, fries, nuggets, and a drink--for just $6, plus tax, and somehow, it managed to be a better deal in both value and overall enjoyment. Teddy's may have "bigger" in the name, but when it comes to quality, price, and satisfaction, it falls flat. If I'm going to drop $20 on a burger and rings, it had better be something special. This wasn't.

There are plenty of chairs in the back if you don't want bench seating or if you are large or disabled. The burgers were cooked perfectly but the fries were so over salted they were crusted in salt. I could not eat them although they were cooked perfectly. The onion rings are not fresh they are from frozen and are quite pricey for what they are. The 7 oz burger is almost too much for the average person unless you're extremely hungry. Next time I'll get the 5 oz. The best thing about the place is the service and the way they cook the burger. It's a perfect medium rare to rare. Disability access is through the hotel next door.

I'm a big fan of Teddy's! I enjoy going to all the locations. I order the teri burger, and asked for it well done. My burger was very pink in the middle, so I let the staff know, and they were very apologetic, and quick to make a new one. There is a lot of seating at this location, inside and on a patio. The location is clean, and has bathroom access.

Monday, August 26, 2024: My brother, sister, son and I wanted to go shopping and we were looking for an ABC store (yes, they're everywhere!) in the Waikīkī area. I needed to get a certain canvas bag for a friend, which I was able to purchase! We were starving and had walked by a burger place. The smell of burgers grilling caught our olfactory senses. We went in and I took everybody's orders and stood in line as they secured a table. The young girl who took my order was friendly but very shy. The interior was not that big. Just for the 4 of us the food was pretty pricey! Their motto is that they're not fast food, they're fresh food. With that in mind we knew it would take some time. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely! We enjoyed the view outside of the open air window. This eatery is located across from the Honolulu Zoo. My son and I enjoyed our burgers, which were very tasty and my siblings enjoyed their chicken tenders. My brother loved his Greek fries. It's expensive but we liked the food!

I don't know if it's because boyfriend and I just finished a 10 mile hike or not but the burgers hit the spot! My Kailua burger was made to order (medium rare) and when I say it was juicy, it was J U I C Y - in the best ways possible. The place was so convenient since we were staying in the connecting hotel, the ambiance was chill with window seats opening up to the street and sidewalk (perfect for people watching), and the employees were rice and answered our questions. Food was on the pricier side but I would definite come back! Maybe just skip the sides and shakes next time.

The burger is super greasy, not to my liking. My husband really enjoyed it. The fries were super good. The service was really good, the staff checks on you to make sure you're doing ok. Its average not too noisy. We sat outside, nice breeze. It was too hot.

Burgers and fries. Simple you might say? Nay! I made mine mighty! At Teddys you can build a burger sky high and need a chainsaw and axe to chop it down. Or go au natural with just the burger, cheese and their special sauce. I made mine with a "bigger" patty, cheddar, bacon, garlic, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, pickles, and avocado. Was it easy to eat? I don't remember. It did look like a crime scene after, but satisfaction guaranteed! And I switched the fries for tater tots with added garlic butter. Hot-damn, don't tell my doctor! But what's the point of living if you don't live!

Waited over an hour to get our food and then we got it, it was very cold. The only thing that was semi hot was the fries

30 minutes for one burger and fries. It wasn't that busy and a lot of people in the kitchen doing nothing but eat fries. Terrible staff that has no idea what they are doing. Looks like they are all high or something Plus over price. Not worth the price. Inside looks so run down, not clean, tables are dirty and sticky. This place really went down hill in food, service, and place.

Wow still delicious 25 years later....service was fast and the restaurant hasn't changed!! You gotta have one if your in town

Awesome place. Affordable prices. This place should have five stars. The art on the wall is really cute. There's ample seating and it's just a lovely place to hang out while enjoying some delicious food. Definitely a local spot! Delicious burgers.

No, no and NO! I came to this place for some lunch out of convenience because it was so close to my hotel. Big mistake... For starters, the young girl working the register was about as rude as they come to every customer that I watched her interact with, including me. Two, when I finally got my burger, it was raw. Literally seared on both sides and the middle was still moo'ing! There was another customer who took her food back because hers was raw as well. If your main item that you offer is burgers (it's even in their company name!) then you should probably at least make those properly. No way will we be coming back to Teddy's.. Cautious eating, my foodies!

Wow! Shockingly delicious gourmet burgers at the quiet end of Waikiki. I had the Aiea burger and the hubby had Kailua burger. Both were ridiculously delicious and juicy, and the smell of the charcoal grill in the burgers were prominent in a very good way. The lettuce, tomatoes and Maui onions were crispy and very fresh, the pickles were perfect, and those were real mushrooms properly pan fried. And one 1/3 lb patty is plenty huge!!! I've never used so many napkins in my life lol. Definitely make sure you are not wearing white when you eat here lol. The fries were decent, and the tater tots were better. The service was friendly and efficient. If I had to quibble, I'd say the only thing they could do better is to toast or grill the buns, as my buns felt a bit cold and stodgy, like they had just been in the fridge, or maybe recently defrosted. But really, it was a minor quibble - definitely a great burger option for the price and location. Certainly much better than the overpriced burger at the Deck next door (we had two meals for about the same price of one burger at the Deck, and Teddy's is by far superior).

We ate dinner at Teddys Burgers and it was amazing! The staff was very friendly and gave us menus to look at. Our food only took about 5 minutes and it was extremely fresh. The tots had an amazing seasoning to them. The burger was extremely juicy and cooked perfect. The garlic chicken tenders were also equally as amazing, close to the beach for a bite to eat!

While in Oahu, we were informed that Teddy's served the finest hamburgers on the island. We opted to give the Waikiki restaurant a try because it was within walking distance of our hotel. First and foremost, the restaurant must receive positive reviews on Japanese social media platforms, as a significant portion of its clientele originates from Japan. In fact,, the menu is available in both Japanese and English. The staff was amicable, and the cuisine appeared to be of high quality at first. Our hamburgers were, however, served "raw." No, I do not mean medium-rare. I found them to be utterly repulsive. While I am fond of sushi and sashimi, I am not fond of uncooked hamburgers. Cheeseburger in Paradise is the place to go in Waikiki for a delectable burger. They also provide gluten-free breads. Stay away from Teddy's unless you do not care about insidious bacteria.

Off the bat bobbylicious was one of the coolest dudes so far in Hawaii. Teddys is pretty good. I did the nom nom burger, garlic tator tots and bacon cheese tots. Chocolate shake is . Right of the beach. Chill vibe. Service is awesome. There FAVORITES burgers are all good or atleast I heard many ppl talking about them. I want to see someone finish their aloha tower burger.. thank you teddys and thank you to our hertz rental guy guy who recommended Teddys

This place was by Waikiki beach so I decided to give it a try. I got the Terri meal which came with the burger, fries, and a fountain drink. Everything was about $17 which to me is a lot for not a lot of food. The burger was good but was drenched in sauce where it was soaking. The sauce was good but I feel like they should have put less. I liked the fries, they were crispy and fresh. Overall it wasn't bad, but not worth the price. My friend got a small shake and it was $9 which seems ridiculous and really steep in my opinion. Overall it wasn't bad, but I'm sure there's better places around that is a better deal.

Nearly 11 years after our first visit, we returned to Honolulu for a little getaway. The very first place we decided to eat at was Teddy's. I was blown away by how good it was all those years ago and was eager to experience it again! If this review was based strictly on the Burgers, it would be a slam dunk 5 stars! Large, juicy and cooked a prefect medium for me. Every bite was a little slice of cheeseburger heaven! The rest of my experience was rather underwhelming. - We came here on a Sunday early afternoon while waiting for our room to be ready for check-in, so it was not very busy at all. There were only 2 other sets of diners and us there. All of the tables were dirty. Literally ALL of them. This would have taken mere moments to swipe those table tops clean. - Service was VERY slow. If the cashier had been moving any slower, he would have been moving backwards. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there. - You have to go into the connecting hotel to use the bathroom or wash your hands. This does require a password you have to get from the cashier. A bit of a hassle just to wash your hands. - The burgers are incredibly tasty, but NOT cheap. A pair of Double Cheeseburger combos with drinks ran me a little north of $45 out the door. Damn. If I'm ever fortunate enough to go back to the Island one day, I will certainly go back to Teddy's, if just for the burgers! Damn, those burgers are so freaking good! 3 stars.

Best gourmet burger, I've had in a while. It was so fresh and bursting with flavor. They have every topping you could want. The fries crispy and these seem hand cut. There was plenty of on-street parking about three blocks away. Having a walk after indulging in the fries was pretty good. This is a very relaxed and comfortable place. It's not wait staff, but server was ready to help. Since its was not too busy, the server brought me ketchup, though. I have a view of the ocean and the music and sound system just right - plenty of Aloha in Waikīkī.

Place is mind of inconsistent. When it's good, it's good. When it's bad, the burgers are undercooked

Love this place.. hot, slow, oblivious customers and staff but the food makes up for it all. Probably one of the best burger and fries I've had.. dripping with grease and juices and made to order. None of this medium done crap.. they're not afraid of ecoli here. More locations if you can't make it to the diamond head location

We got a beyond burger, double burger, fries, and a peanut butter chocolate shake. The shake was definitely the highlight. The burgers are fine, nothing special. Expensive though for the quality & for being a standard burger--total for all that was around $45. Convenient location. Service is average. Plenty of people there at 6pm on a Saturday. Ambience is on par with a standard burger joint with booth seating

Best. Burger. EVER! We were visiting and were craving a burger after swimming. Our dear friend who is local said she had a spot for us. We both ordered a double, mine was a specialty and my wife's was the western (no picture). We took one bite and almost fell out, that was the most delicious bite ever! (I'm salivating as I reminisce). Do yourself a favor and get one. Sit on the beach and enjoy every yummy bite! Also, I love supporting companies that not only have a great service but also do community work. They host fundraisers for local nonprofits and I support that! Great job Teddy's!

I ordered a Cajun grilled chicken burger and a side of fries. The fries were fresh and hot, as was the burger. They were both okay. My only complaint is it literally took 30 minutes for my food to come out. It was just me!! One would think going to a burger spot would be faster.

Customer service was horrible. Worker at register wasn't familiar with menu and kept charging me extra for the family burger pack despite menu saying 49.99. Her total was turning into 64.99. She called manager over and he seen the inconsistencies with the prices on register versus menu. He himself was very unprofessional. He proceeded to change menu prices to higher but nothing higher existed. He was noticeably upset and irritated having to answer our questions on why we were being charged higher than what was advertised, he stated he wasn't going to sell it to us and walked away. The girl working there just stated "he's the shift boss" and proceeded to help others. Plz don't waste your time here with false advertisement and unprofessionalism!

Our first meal in Honolulu! We landed and was super hungry. Our hotel was next to this place so we gave it a try! Burger was great, pretty juicy and fries were delicious. It wasn't as busy for us so we got our food pretty quickly. THere's a lot of area for seating. I highly recommend to try when you're in Honolulu!

My vacation included side-quests such as visiting every spot kpop group Bangtan Sonyeondan visited when they were here in Hawaii. Teddy's couldn't do any more than keep serving the community. It looked the same as when the Tannie's visited lol. Honestly though, these places benefit the most from not changing much as I want the place to be the way it was when they visited. This location, Waikiki, is a short walk from the ocean.

Okay soooo, this has to be the BEST burger I've ever had by far! At least, the burger I ordered! And as for the one burger/ food item I've had at this joint, I give it all stars because it was just that great! The "Volcano burger" I believed it was, perfectly cooked, juicy, medium rare & they didn't even had to ask but that's how it was cooked, to perfection. The veggies like lettuce, onion, tomato, etc weren't overbearing and put enough fresh touch to the meat. This one is a spicy one! But with FLAVOR! Not overbearing heat/spice! You just have to get it to believe me. Service was good, quick and easy for our food pick up.. the place looked fairly roomy, but we did order for pick up as we were catching a flight home. (Sad face) I'll definitely be back again! Whether to get the same burger or to try something new!

Burgers were great, but fk the chubby dude with glasses who works cashier. We came in an hour before closing, and the dude was already cleaning. Dude threw a bitch fit when I asked for salad dressing and napkins. How the fk do I eat your mid salad without any dressing..Jerk off..

Give the Cashiers a RAISE!!! The food is what you would expect from a top notch juicy burger restaurant. Therefore there are many tourist, please do not review there reviews as legit facts therefore being bogus since they are not condemened to how teddys has been running there establishment since the beginning in 1998 before even electric cars and robots really existed, you cant be asking for a 5 star gourmet meal. For my response to these un-welcomed reviews, it's a burger. 90% of customers are tourists. (stop expecting for fine dining) as the workers are working their best. Its a sore thumb to be seeing Cashiers stressed out not even being able to at least enjoy the old days of how teddys ran. Now its just thousands of tourists spamming hate comments. Recommendations: (tots) for a welcoming experience if your not seeking a juicy burger. (cheesy) (not as soggy and more crisped) ~ just enough to fill a single person up! Non Recommendation: (Garlic Fries) way too greasy and very unhealthy, add a few shrimps in there and maybe ill think about it. Though the fries are really Americanized. (soggy) (caramelized) ~ too much When to go? : You should most definitely go after a beach day maybe at walls/Waikiki or even after a long hike or preferably swimming in a pool. You cant be asking for a juicy burger when you live a block away just being (interested) - You definitely dont want to have a picky attitude and rather seek the hunger you presume that is most fit! (therefore your meal choice) Tip: The more expensive it is does not guarantee your hospitality and taste choice of surprise. (REMEMBER IT IS A BURGER JOINT) :) -Made from a local surfer (walls fan)

We ordered at 12:35. 40 mins later, we FINALLY got 3 shakes ... That's it We didn't even order food. There seemed to have been miscommunication and no organization in the front. Even had to suggest to two hotel employees to go eat somewhere else

Very friendly and excellent service! It's thanksgiving day and we were gonna give the turkeys a break and go for a burger. Got the double burger, medium with fries and onion rings. Ready in less than 10 min and hit the spot after snorkeling at Queens Beach. My new favorite burger place when I visit Waikīkī!

Lined up for 20 mins. Guy was barely on counter serving anyone. Employees don't give a shit here. Twice had to go somewhere else.

It is the Best burger & onion rings I have had! Deliciousness cooked to order and fresh food! No frozen stuff

Exceptional food! Must have while in Waikiki! We were just walking by and stopped. Glad we did!

Very poor experience here, I doubt I'll be coming back. Had to wait 30 minutes for my hamburger, and the burger itself was mediocre at best. There are much better options for less. ( I have had decent burgers at other teddy's, but there always seems to be issues with this location) TLDR; unless you have 30 minutes to wait for a mediocre hamburger, go somewhere else

Decent place for a meal at the zoo end of Waikiki. It isn't cheap. The salad was about $9, add avocado for $3 and chicken for $5. But I was hungry and wanted something healthy. It was ok. Chicken was decent but not spectacular. I did not order the side of avocado and didn't realize the cashier added it until the food came. The salads at chick filet are better and bigger at $5 cheaper. This salad was equivalent to the size of Jack in the box salads which are under $9. Still, this is Waikiki. What are you gonna do? I'd go back if I was in this area again. Just know it's decent but overpriced food.

Awesome burger! Great place to sit and enjoy view and food while in Waikiki beach... it was recommended by a friend and I would definitely recommend a visit as well!

This restaurant deserves a higher rating, but I'm so disappointed with their service to the bar above that they're servicing. It's a total black eye for Teddy's. They don't seem to care about timelines or quality of what they deliver. Food is persistently cold and delivered far beyond restaurant norms. I'm encouraging others to rate this establishment as unsatisfactory until they adopt a plan to satisfy their business partner above. You CAN do better.

Great location next to Waikiki but man, it's not a good burger. Service was slow as well. I was excited to try this place but the quality of food and service is definitely not worth the price.

Awesome burgers served in a casual way. The burgers are made fresh to order and was delicious and juicy. Would recommend anyone who comes to Hawaii to grab them some Tessy's Bigger Burgers. Don't forget to order some onion rings in the side. Was crunchy and tasty.

Hard working employees do their best to support the customer experience. Hamburger was good. I heeded to other customer reviews to be specific on how the burger was cooked (medium well). It arrived as ordered. Condiments on the burger were adequate. The bun was elasticy but held up without tearing apart.

Located in the Grand Hotel across the street from the zoo in Waikiki, this is a favorite place for burgers. First of all, they are huge! Not only that, but the burger was grilled to perfection. My son loves the chicken tenders here, he says they are the best in town. The garlic fries are extremely well seasoned and were so crispy and delicious. The only problem I have with this place is that the burger combos are extremely pricey, but then again, this is in Waikiki, so I guess it's to be expected.

Small burger shop gets you good quality fresh tasty burgers fries if you're craving American food in an Asian cuisine jungle. Quick service and we used take out to eat at hotel. Area has busy safe ambiance.

I tried this fast food restaurant for the first time when visiting the Waikiki area and enjoyed my meal. I was happy to see they accommodated vegetarians and had both a veggie burger and Beyond burger on the menu. They had several specialty burgers and you could swap the patty for a vegetarian option in any of them, though they did charge an additional fee. I tried the Volcano burger with a Beyond patty and added mushrooms. I loved that they had so many toppings to add on, including avocado. The burger was quite large. I particularly liked the jalapenos and the sweet BBQ sauce on it. I got a combo meal with cajun fries. The fries were nice and crispy. They were tasty, but I felt the cajun flavoring could've been a bit bolder and the portion size was small. We dined in and the tables were very clean. They bring your food to your table which is a nice touch for a fast food restaurant. I know food tends to be expensive in this area, but I felt this place was a bit too pricey overall.

Came here for some burgers and fries. Service was great, friendly staffs. Good food.

We ordered two combo meals with milkshakes, but when we got home, my fries were missing, and my burger was undercooked. Now I'm left with neither fries nor a proper meal. I've tried calling the restaurant multiple times, but no one is answering. Considering we're a drive away from Waikiki, this is incredibly disappointing.

We got the Waikiki burger, double patty, garlic fries, and a fountain drink the service was fast!. Did not disappoint.
