Kalapaki Burgers - Lihue

This little burger place has great burgers that do not break the bank. I mean, the food never sleeps in Hawaii, but the prices here are not bad. The food is also quite good and they have some unique options if you want to be a little more adventurous.

Walked here from the Marriott and were not disappointed. We had the Hawaiian shave ice and the aloha burger...I know touristy as F, but whatever, they looked good. The shave ice was not as good as JoJo’s but better than anything we’ve had outside Kauai. And the aloha burger, while it sounded like a mosh-mash of random stuff, actually went together very well and was the best burger we had on the island. Teriyaki sauce, pineapple, medium rare burger, and the normal fixings...it all went together with the flavors complementing each other. Pretty good for $10. They were out of the Taro Fries when we came so no review of those guys.

Absolutely love this place. Fantastic food reasonably priced. Went there every day while in Kauai. The Tropical Smoothie and Aloha Classic are a must have! Breakfast was also great. Service was polite and pretty quick. There's seating both upstairs and downstairs. Stairs can get real slippery when it rains, so Kalapaki Beach Hut, please stick some adhesive mineral grip tape on the stairs! My wife slipped and fell on the left exit stairs and scuffed both her rings. Really put a damper on the honeymoon, but she was fine. With a few dollars, that hazard can be taken care of, so please get that fixed. Steps going upstairs had grip tape, but not the exit. Keep up the good cooking!

My cheddar burger was amazingly delicious, lettuce and tomato, crisp, on all soft and squishy, the fries were perfect and crispy and of course my favorite kind: shoestring! I got to meet a lovely young lady named Seana and had a wonderful lunch, thank you very much!

Fantastic food! We visited for lunch and it wasn't overly crowded. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The Taro hors d'oeuvres are surprisingly delicious, even for those who aren't fans of Taro. It's a great little beachside spot for a tasty meal if you're not in the mood for a full sit-down service. The fish of the day is also excellent, and the late breakfast options are scrumptious.
