Unko Maui's

Absolutely delicious burgers and incredible service. I stopped by after a colleague recommended this place, and it did not disappoint. The onion rings had the most perfect crisp. We ordered The Big Kahuna and Da Slippah, both were phenomenal. I also chatted with the manager for a bit; she was super nice and told me about some past and upcoming events that I definitely plan to check out. Make your way over here, you won’t regret it. 🍔

Tried Unko Maui’s—on Fredericksburg Road for dinner tonight. We got the Loko Moko and Da Slippah Burgers with fries, tater tots, and mozzarella sticks. Legit and fresh made Hawaiian comfort food with awesome Hawaiian buns. We were able to bring our dog and sit on the outdoor patio which was an added bonus for us. The restaurant had an ice cream and shake station under construction—look forward to checking that situation out after complete.

My husband and I ate at Unko Maui’s and I must say we truly enjoyed our time there! Looking at the name we expected a hint of Hawaii and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere casual, staff was very friendly. Hubby had the Loco Moco burger and I had the It Slaps burger and I must say the burgers were great! Juicy, seasoned well and on a toasted Hawaiian roll bun. It was delicious and filling. Yes, we will definitely be regulars! If you’re looking for a down to earth atmosphere and a great burger then I encourage you to try them! You won’t be disappointed.

First time here great tasting burgers n onion rings! Clean in and outside. Love the colors and decorations. The outside patio looks really nice! Covered patio nice view outside. Fast fresh food! Friendly customer service.

Second time here and food is still as tasty as the first time 😍🤤 brought a couple of friends here and they loved it!! I've had the queso burger and it was soo good, and this time i went with the mushroom swiss burger. not a fan of mushrooms at all but boy was that burger AMAZING. they're all so juicy and the buns are super soft, plus the tator tots/fries are super crispy. Definitely recommend as the workers there are super nice and welcoming 🫶🏼

I went to Unko Maui’s in the Deco District with my sister, niece, and nephew after she recommended it — and I’m so glad we did. This spot absolutely delivered. The burger was amazing — juicy, flavorful, and stacked with grilled onions and melty cheese on a soft bun. Easily one of the best burgers I’ve had in San Antonio. We also tried the fries, onion rings (super crispy!), and the fried mushrooms — which came out so hot they literally burned our tongues. But that didn’t stop my sister — she just kept going at it with the mushrooms like a champ. 😂 I ordered Da Slippah, and it was 🔥 — so much flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend it! Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. It had that perfect burger-joint feel. Great service, great portions, and just a fun, satisfying meal all around. If you haven’t tried Unko Maui’s yet, you’re seriously missing out. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent find. Burgers were tasty and juicy. I preferred the tots to the fries, but both were good. Both had wonderful seasoning. Mozzarella sticks had the perfect crisp with cheese that would string when pulled. Also great seasoning and flavor. They offer canned soda or bottled water with their combos or upgrade to fountain soda. I'm a bit of a water snob so I was so glad they had Ozarka rather than purified water. Staff was super friendly and owner/management each came to the table for a friendly chat. I'm told this location will soon have an ice cream bar, so something else to look forward to!

Unko Maui’s provides a nice twist on the traditional burger joint. They’re pumping out flavorful, massive burgers in a great atmosphere, and it seems like things are only getting better at the restaurant. I ordered the Double ‘Da Slippah’, their signature burger. It comes loaded with 2 huge smash patties, cheese, grilled onions, and their secret sauce. You get alotta food for the price you pay and the flavor is bangin from the first bite. I lost my mind and ordered the fries covered in Queso and the Secret Sauce. This was a ton of food. The fries are fantastic whether covered or naked. The onion rings are awesome too. The staff was very nice and helpful and we saw the staff making improvements while we were there, adding in new, custom drink stations! I can’t wait to go back and try the Loko Moko Burger, a shake, and the tater tots. Go support this local eatery, it rocks!

We walked in just to "check it out" and ended up leaving after eating a REALLY GOOD BURGER. The service was great, the restaurant was clean, and the owner took the time to explain the menu and make suggestions. We ordered Da Slippah, and it was an EXCELLENT choice. He even showed us around and introduced us to his family and staff, which made us feel right at home. The food came out quickly, and the burger was fantastic--but the true STAR OF THE SHOW was the bread. Think Hawaiian rolls, but softer, fluffier, and sized for a burger. These burgers were no joke: meat, cheese, grilled onions, and a secret sauce--and honestly, they didn't need anything else. The grilled onions and sauce were the perfect compliment, and you could taste every flavor in each bite. The drinks came in cans. I didn't notice a fountain setup, so that might be why. It would've been nice to have a cup with ice, but I didn't ask, so maybe that's an option. Overall, this place is definitely worth a try--and we will be back!

Wow!! After reading reviews on Instagram about this place I decided to try. Especially being Polynesian myself I wanted to see what a slice of the islands was like in San Antonio. I can't speak on the authenticity of this place as far as ethnic cuisine but I can tell you this was hands down one of the best burgers I've EVER had and I've had plenty!! It was a smash burger style. I love my burgers soft and this just melted in your mouth. Wasn't a fan of the fries but who needs them? I told my husband if I come back (we don't live in the area) then I am getting 2 burgers instead of 1 burger and 1 fry! Ordering was simple and fairly quick. The time to receive food wasn't too bad either and that burger was worth any wait anyways! Hope this place stays around!

We had to be here at the wrong time...we walked in and it was super dark and none of the lights we on. We stood there for a while and eventually someone came out of the kitchen to tell us the cashier wasn't there yet and to order on the machines. He told me to get da slappah which I decided on. But then it wasn't on the machine. So I told him what I wanted and he told me what to order instead and he would swap it (I don't know if he did as I said I wanted a double and I got a single)...so maybe I had da slappah. Then my wife went to get her drink and was told the machine was broken and she could get a bottled drink. Which is weird because she wanted diet coke (they have Pepsi on the machine) but then in the cooler it was all Fanta and sprite and no diet that we saw. They also didn't have ice. Eventually the food was ready and we got tots instead of fries on the app sampler (which they fixed easily). The appetizer sample was easily the worst food I've had in a long time. The fries were okay...not as good as even whataburger. The onion rings were AWFUL. Tasteless and no onion. The fried mushrooms were also tasteless other than tasting like they came out of a can. The mozzarella sticks were okay. The burger I had (whether it was the right one or not) was very good. I'd happily get the burger again if not for everything else being so bad or poorly maintained. My son refused to eat his hotdog because of the spicy sauce (which was NOT on the menu as listed being in the hot dog)...I took it off the bun and removed the sauce and then he ate it and said it was fine. His tater tots were awful...they had no flavoring other than burned oil...I don't know if they even had any salt on them. When we went to leave and take the rest of his hotdog and my wife's burger to go we were told there were no to go boxes... So I figured out how to fold the paper to cover the food to go...but just weird. My wife commented that it was sort of like if you were robbing a bank and had to pretend to work there...everyone just seemed...off... Of all the places we have been in San Antonio this is the first one I wouldn't go back to. And seriously, the burger is good...even very good (the bun is really unique)...but awful ambiance, no service, and everything else was very bad. Wife and son also commented that the bathrooms were not maintained and doors couldn't be locked.

We stopped in just before 10 pm. Didn't realize they close at 10pm on a Saturday. They were out of grilled onions and avocado. The da slippah, loko moko and Texas Cheesesteak were our choices. The burgers were full of juice and flavor. In the da slippah the onions would have finished it. The Texas cheesesteak was yummy full of robust flavor. The onions would have added but was good regardless. The Loko Moko was savory. The fries were limp and wilted. I wanted iced tea but there wasn't any at the time.

We were very pleased with Unko Maui's!!! The burgers were very tasty with their special sauce making the burger taste even better! The chili dog was very good, and can easily be shared between two people! Customer service was great and they took time to explain the menu to us, as it was our first time! I highly recommend Unko Maui's if you are looking for a new fresh tasty burger.

Ahhhhhhh with Hawaiian Reggae playing both inside/outside as I walked into this Maui Joint I knew that I was in a slice/piece of "Paradise" in San Antonio Carla took my order and also remembered me from the other location "Maui on Main" Love this place and the Island Vibes flowing through the whole Joint Absolutely Delicious & Yummilicious Big Juicy Burger with tons of flavor plus tasty fries From the 1st bite to the last, simply tastilicious Great value for the whole combo meal & way,way better than fast food for a lower price with fresh ingredients & cooked while ya wait Super Duper Aloha & Ohana location that's on My Favorite lists now Muchos Gracias Y'all & God Bless Jah be with Y'all. ‍‍‍‍

The burgers were good but everything else was disappointing. They ran out of plasticware forks so we got a spoon until the end of the meal, a fork was found. The food took long to make and the napkins weren't suitable for greasy burgers. Maybe if they provide better quality plasticware and napkins, it could be better.

Always looking for an open-late eatery, drive past here and saw they're open till one a.m. some nights. They said they've only been open for a few weeks, so I hope they eventually redecorate. There's a lot of empty space right now. I went at midnight and no other customers were there. I hope they grow in popularity because the burger I got was delicious! I got the mushroom and Swiss with onion rings while my friend got the tostada burger with tots. We both liked my onion rings and neither were impressed with the tots. The size of the burgers was impressive and the price was better than I expected. The buns were so good...I'm guessing kaiser rolls. Drinks are only in bottles and cans, unfortunately. I wish them the best and I plan to go back.

This was an easy visit to make. Maui's on Main is amazing. I went there once with my younger son and he had the burger. And it looked amazing and he enjoyed it. So with the background they have in general with great food, and that burger experience, I couldn't wait for this place to open. It did not disappoint. Plenty of room inside and a seating area outside. Easy to find and recognize. We were greeted when we entered and ordering was easy. Menu right up front and loud. Plenty of burgers options on it too. I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger and my son got a bacon cheddar burger. Both were delicious. There was an initial snafu with the burger where I asked for no lettuce and it came plain, but they quickly rectified it and overcompensated for the missing toppings. Burger, bread, bacon all delicious. Sodas are still cans out the freezer like at Maui's on main but I hope they bring the sweet tea in. It'll be just the right capper to a delicious burger. The fries are shoestring and they're fried well. You get a generous portion with a combo. All of this deliciousness comes at a reasonable price. I've added them to my regulars for burgers. Most definitely coming back

We came right around 1 p.m. and it was completely dead. The menu looked promising, but you could only get a canned drink because the fountain drink machine was out of order. We got the Gessel burger and some bacon burger. The Gessel burger tasted like it had bitter chunks of leftover charred bits from the grill and the queso was not fresh and very gritty. The bacon burger was OK but again lack there of flavor. This was a couple of months back, so hopefully things got better. I would love to give him another chance, but I just don't think I'd spend the money on it again..

Everything was lovely. We had wanted something new and passed by this place, we are glad we did. It was super cute inside with paintings and flamingos. The burgers were limited in choice but they were extremely unique and tasty. Very fresh tasting. The staff was very very nice and treated us as friends. Had a great time and definitely on our list! Would recommend!

Very good vibes and tasty food. Now somehow I forgot I was going to eat at a Hawaiian themed placed and should have remembered that these are the Sam Choy size entrees. Best mozzarella sticks I've had (enough for two and I got the small one), the burger-huge (again for two) and a house salad (do I need to say it again). The people working there are great. So definitely a place to visit many times.

Absolutely fantastic place! I really enjoyed the first soft opening, now the grand opening made it official! The service here is awesome, if you've been to Mikes other location you know all staff and him are the best. This location is very spacious and lots of seating, it feels almost old school but I enjoy it. Over all for the prices AND quality, id hugely recommend it.

Walked in and was served immediately! The burgers are delicious. Very flavorful and the buns were so soft! I had the Moko Loko Burger. The gravy made that burger an A++! It has a large patio outside with plenty of tables. And the inside is cool and homey.

We have been hooked on their burgers from Maui's on Main, so finding out they were opening a burger focused spot was exciting. So here we go.. as any brand new spot, on the day of opening (actually 30 mins in) they had some minor hurdles. They did not deter my experience because I understand they are brand new and not everything can be perfect all the time.. but for the sake of transparency here it goes. We ordered 2 burgers to-go but they came out on regular trays and we were advised they didn't have any to-go containers yet, but gave us brown bags and a plastic bag, for us to politely figure out. We decided to stay and eat.. but then noticed that they learned from that situation and actually wrapped to-go orders in paper bags themselves for other customers as they came. I ordered a plain and dry burger for my kid, but it came with cheese, which was enthusiastically and immediately remediated.. Now, the burgers.. by far one of the best ones I've had. Their secret sauce is delicious and is such a great complement to the burger. Their bread lightly toasted is so fluffy and sweet. My kid's comment as he took his first bite "mmm mmm mmm this is so delicious, mm" coming for a picky eater this is probably the best compliment! This will definitely be added to our burger joints rotation, they are so delicious and the staff was extremely friendly and always catering to the patrons!

It's a cute enough place. However, burger bun was hard, service is horrible, and they were out of every fountain drink. There were about 10 total customers, most were already sitting. Employees looked stressed out and were not welcoming at all. There's a female that was overly explaining herself to every table. It's really cringy. You just see customers rolling their eyes right after she walks away from the tables. They also do not close until 10, but cringy lady herself turned off the open sign at 915. By 930 they were already slamming everything. If y'all hate your life or your job, leave. People pay to be there but you'll lose people quick with that lack of ethics.

Cool atmosphere and amazing burgers. Owner was passionate, engaging, and made excellent recommendations. Tots had a good crunch and tasted great. Everything was fresh and hot. Fair price for exceptional quality. We'll be back!

Burgers were AMAZING, service was great! Prices were reasonable We will definitely be back.

One of the best burgers I've had by far! Environment had chill vibes. Food: I had Da Slippah, and it was delicious! The bun was like Hawaiian bread but huge! Come support, enjoy good vibes, and eat well Thank you Unko Maui's!

On the way in, you'll get the feel of a family business making a real effort to revive an awesome location that needs some love. Ordering at the front with the colorful menu reinforces the bootstraps being pulled. You might be inclined to give them a little more grace - but no need. These folks deliver on food. Top 5 burger I've had. I figured maybe it only suited my tastes, but my wife demolished her burger and onion rings and kept raving about it. My recommendation: Queso burger (plain), add bacon and jalapeños. The fries remind me of McDonalds - but in the best kind of way. Like when they're fresh and salted *just right*. They use a Hawaiian-like bun, but not too sweet, buttered and toasted. They pull off the best smash burger patties I've ever had. I could not recommend more, and hope this little venture thrives!

The prices were good. Everyone enjoyed their burgers. I enjoyed my salad and it was a good size for the price. The place was big and had lots of seating. I just wish their soda/ice machine was working, they only had can sodas (coke,sprite, root beer, Fanta orange, and some Gatorade.) The place felt kind of warm but it wasn't unbearable. The fried items were okay but I agree that they did have that "old oil" taste. But overall had a good experience.

This place was recommended to me by a friend and he did not fail me this place was really good and in the heart of the west side! The burger was amazing I got a double patty Swiss burger and I'll come back for sure.

First time here. Awesome Moco Loco Burger. So damn big I couldn't finish it and I was hungry. They even had live entertainment while I was there. Decently priced food and great flavors.

I went today (8/24/2025) around 12:45. I should have left when they went through the list of items they couldn't prepare especially since one of them is what I wanted to try it. Plus they were completely out of their "FAMOUS" rolls. I had the loco moco burger with tots. The burger meat was dry despite being covered in gravy, the carmelized onions were charred and burnt as were the tater tots I ordered. The fried egg was rubbery. I could only taste burnt onions and packaged brown gravy. I got two minuscule ketchup packets and had I been allowed to go pick up the food when my order number was called I probably could have asked for more as well as some pepper for the unseasoned tots. Speaking of seasoning, I also received two packets of salt but nothing I ordered needed more salt. The brown gravy tasted of nothing but salt. There was also no ice in the soda fountain. I literally live down the street and wanted to try it, but I'm just probably not gonna go back. I'm glad that other people that have tried it had a great experience but I did not enjoy it.

I had a wonderful time here at Unko Maui's. The food was super tasty and fresh. The service was hardworking and polite. The ambiance was super relaxed and laid back. 5 stars.

Friendly staff. A bit unorganized, but the quality of their beef is great. Fries tasted of dirty fry oil, but edible. I'll definitely go back.

Awesome friendly service. food was AMAZING. I got the bacon cheddar and my boy got the queso burger. I dig the vibe and ambiance too.

When they first opened we had gone to try the Spam burger which was good but after 2 months we found out this burger was no longer on the menu. Atmosphere is not what I had expected - it appeared as if it was still under construction but it's actually their decor. They do not have tea, only bottled or canned drinks. Overall we didn't enjoy the atmosphere and menu changes.

Art Deco Pizzerria is no longer in business.... Is is now called UNKO MAUI BURGERS..... it is possibly the best burger ever.!!! Hawaiin burger with pineapple bacon cheese and the juiciest most delicious burger! WHAT A TREAT....at the corner of Fredericksburg road (1815 Fred Rd) and Norris....thank you UNKO Mike, Dennis, and Angi

The burgers were truly amazing and Carla served us with such warmth and kindness! We plan to be back soon!

Had a made to order burger. Im calling it the "Spicy Hawaiian." Burger was double-patty, pineapple ring, jack-cheese, beacon, jalapeños, caramelized onions and a bit of bbq-sauce. And sweet buns too. Excellent burger & Rings! Pleasure meeting Uncle Mike, Angie and Chef Dennis

Love the food and the server she was so nice asked for ranch and told her we were saucy girls and she almost brought out the ranch gallon Love her so much She I understood the assignment (:

It has a new owner and now selling hamburgers no pizza. The place has been updated no adult beverages. I opted for a salad and my group had burgers. I noticed it looks like they make their own bread which looked pretty good. I also noticed they have only one person taking orders and working the cash register. She's petty fast and is friendly and ask if you need anything. The name doesn't go

burgers were fire! I suggest this place if you're in the area. Fries and onion rings too

My wife and I along with another couple went to San Antonio to just eat and drink. We found this spot and looked good for lunch. Food was phenomenal but the service was not so great. They were out of several food items like fries and some of the ingredients for specialty burgers. Food took forever and did not come out at the same time which is always awkward when you are with a group. While one is eating so food doesn't get cold the others are waiting.

Came in hungry as hell, left completely satisfied! If you're looking for a burger joint that prioritizes quality ingredients and perfect execution, look no further! Their burgers are a masterpiece of juicy, thin patties, caramelized onion and slightly toasted bun that stands up to every bite. The signature burger with special sauce (it slaps!) is really a must-try, and their crispy tots are the perfect accompaniment. The service super friendly and attentive, making the entire experience wonderful. A true gem for burger lovers in San Antonio.

I ordered the appetizer tray, has some of the best onions rings and fried mushrooms. Tried their signature burger and my partner had the mushroom Swiss. The burgers were so good and filling and I loved the Hawaiian sweet rolls they're served on. Excited to go back and try the Loko Moko burger. Food came out fast and I hope to see them get more popular!

So disappointed with our experience at Unko Maui's (Fredericksburg). We saw the TX Eats interview and were very excited to try their food. We visited last Sunday around 2pm. The service was less than poor. The hostess seemed to be turning people way? We were able to order two burgers on the menu. We waited for over 45 minutes for our food. We were given the wrong order. The food was mediocre at Best! Fries were not fresh and cold when we got our plates. We'll give them one more try in a month or two to give them time to get their act together (maybe). Definitely not the Best burgers in town.

I was looking for a burger joint and came across this place on Instagram and saw the raving reviews. This place did not disappoint! The entire staff were so sweet and helped with recommendations. I ordered the "Big Slipah" which is a smash burger topped with a secret sauce on a massive Hawaiian bun. It was delicious! The environment is so relaxed and homey. It appears to be family owned and they make you feel part of it. They had a two person band (Janessa and Josh) playing who were also phenomenal. Janessa had a beautiful voice. We will definitely be coming back!

The service and food were incredible. The food was very affordable and just so good. I have never had brown gravy on a burger before this place, and honestly it went extremely well.

Absolutely amazing experience all around, our food came out so fast and was incredible. Customer service from everyone was so genuine and kind, I can't wait to see all big things in store for this spot! Really wish I could give more stars, Unko Maui's deserves it

Good burgers! Loved the Hawaiian sweet roll buns. Just wish they had fountain drinks and not just canned...

Me and my family really enjoyed this meal. I got the mushroom Swiss, my husband go the slippa. The bread was so buttery and sweet. The secret sauce was really good as well. They got a little backed up but they brought out como onion rings. Staff were very friendly. Everything was just all around really great.

I'm not one to leave reviews but this place needs to be top 5 for burgers in San Antonio. The food was better than amazing. Everyone working here has a smile on their faces and are quick to answer all the questions we had. I went with The O.G. All the toppings tasted fresh and crips. I went with the tater tots and onion rings as my side. Best of both worlds!!! We will definitely be making this place a weekly spot!!

Been to Maui's on Main and heard about their new location on Fredericksburg Rd so decided to try it out. Had the Loko Moko burger and gotta tell ya it was good. It came out pretty quick. Nice and hot and the fries were delicious. Like my Hawaiian friends use to say "broke da mouth" and it was ono. Not too many people on a Sunday evening but I think not too many people know but I'm sure news will travel fast and expect to see more people coming soon. Give this place a try and I'm sure you will be surprised how good they are. Live entertainment on some evenings.

First time I went here I just ordered the fries and mozzarella sticks with ranch...and let me tell y'all it was the best mozerella sticks I've had they're big and the flavor is great. I'm a ranch girly and they have realllyyyy good ranch I'm talking wingstop level ranch. Today I had the tostada burger and as soon as I took the first bite I was blown out of the water it was the best burger I have ever tried ! And the pricing is pretty good as well. I wish they had a soda dispenser tho they had a fridge for cans and bottles but that's not a deal breaker. The girl that took my order was there both times and she was nice and very fast service too as soon as I walked in she greeted me and got my order. If she had to walk away she communicated that to me as well super professional ! The art on the wall is a really good touch as well the blue walls gives it a relaxing vibe and the different seating areas is also so nice if u don't like a crowd u can sit away from a ton of people ! Overall I'm gonna recommend this to everyone ! Best burger I've ever had !!! I will keep coming back for sure
