W & M Bar-B-Q Burger

Such a popular local business that's been around for so many years. We were in Kaimuki today, and when my husband asked if I wanted a W & M burger, I couldn't answer fast enough!! Yummy teriyaki meat/teriyaki burger combo and fries is what we always have. It's so ONO!! (delicious)If you're really hungry, you may want to order two. They're not huge burgers, but definitely packed with flavor. *Parking is limited and it's always busy and timing is everything. As I sat in my car waiting, I noticed several people walking over from the City Mill parking nextdoor. Seemed as though they did a phone order, and were in and out in a few minutes. If you order there, you may need to wait 15-20 minutes, depending how busy they are. Check them out, never disappoints!!

A great hole in the wall place with its only con being the parking situation. Their burgers are good - the Tri burger was the right amount of sweetness. The green river drink tastes like a lemon/lime Powerade, pretty good.The service is great, we ordered around 12:10, get our food around 12:25 pm... not bad considering we ordered a total of 4 burgers, a hot dog, 2 orders of fries and 2 drinks.We were so hungry that we didn't take pictures, next time!

Pros: Fast serviceOrganizedCould find parkingCons: Morning star burger tasted too spicy not teriyakiLettuce was brown************There was enough parking but it does get crowded. Many customers are ordering or picking up pre-orders. My morning star was too spicy and not the teriyaki flavor that I was expecting. Maybe they switched to the spicy black bean version. One lettuce was brown. They are organized and fast but hope they try to keep up the quality especially as the burgers get more expensive.

My favorite burger on the island; the double royale with a green river omg be prepared for a kanack attack after because I took such a good nap after this lol it's so juicy and delicious, not too fancy but seriously the best it reminds me of home on lanai eating a burger with my grandparents parking is tight so might sure there a good driver before people judge you lol

Still the best cheeseburger in Hawaii! Be sure to try their Royal cheeseburger deluxe with extra patty and extra cheese (double double). For vegetarians, try their no meat(morning star patty) with their sauces, Royal. Still a big fan of their crab macaroni potato salad!

First in line...A highly suggested thing to do here at W&M as we were blown how everyone quickly started piling in one by one long before they were open at 9am.Now why were we here...? Lucky Nadine has done it again winning not just the burger of our choice but fries and drink as well and who can't say no to that...moi! What a way to start my personal day (what I call my day off) with the breakfast of champions W&M.I got the Tomato HAL...no onion for me, fries and a large green river...classic love! Everything was perfect freshly made and as we dove in to the Dessert Trio (banana cream tart, pumpkin crunch, panna cotta) each mini/half the size and was just so yummy each with a delightful twist.The vibe is pretty much take out though there's a ledge for you to enjoy for a quick bite.Thank you!

Being away from home made me crave the old school food. I was happy to hear that they were in the same location, but the parking... man, it's still terrible, but it's okay! I got there about 10:30 am - all the stalls were available. I came just before the rush did. Thank goodness! I grabbed food for my family and it was quite a list!-1Royal Burger-3 Hal Specials-3 French Fries-2Cheeseburgers (for the keiki)Royal and Hal are popular so I'd recommend those if you don't know what to order. W&M were on Hawai'i's Best for 10 years in a row, then COVID happened, but then they kept up their reputation and continued to earn more awards. Right there... says something about W&M.The workers are easy going, patient, and take their time! I had a big order.. they took their time to make sure everything was in the bags. Thank you so much!

When people tell me that W & M has been around for over 70 years, I still can't believe it. I've only known it to be located on Waialae Ave and not at their OG spot. When you think about it, they've been doing burgers for over 7 decades, so they must know burgers, right??? Yes, they do. There is a reason for the line outside of hungry customers. They have everything from their signature Royal hamburger, cheeseburger all the way to the top, their Hal Special, which is their signature Royal burger topped with onolicious BBQ Steak. You can have it with lettuce tomatoe, onion, and cheese or take any away. It's all up to you. For those who don't want a burger, they also have hotdogs, and for you non eating red meat, they have the morning star veggie burger. Remember back in the day the drunk green river? They have it here. Now that brings back memories. They also sell dessert like pumpkin crunch, white chocolate creme brulee and other things. The only downside besides waiting in line is that they only have 6 parking stalls. Might be good to come with a friend who can drive around the block and get you when you have the goods. If waiting in line isn't your thing, you can also call in your order. What I kind of noticed is that you might have to wait longer if you were to stand in line and order. Either way you are going to get some good grinds!

This burger joint has been around for decades, but there's been a recent surge in social media coverage about it and we made an effort to try it. It's in a neat old building directly behind City Mill in Kaimuki; it's so easy to miss I never saw it in over 10 years of driving by. They have dedicated parking that's easy to navigate; it's locked with a chain when closed.Our first attempt to come was during open hours but they were closed anyway, so we tried again a week later. You should note their hours are restrictive around lunch only, so if you're hoping for this for dinner you have to get it in the afternoon. Their menu and story of the business are on the windows in front. It's a simple menu of BBQ burgers, fries, hot dogs, and drinks. We each ordered a different burger and got some sides to share. Prices are super reasonable here; for four of us it was less than $40 for everything. Burgers are cooked well done but still moist as they should be. Service was fast and efficient, the order was ready quickly and we were on our way.Everything tasted good, we enjoyed our meal but felt portions were small but they seem consistent with what they've always done. They have a 60s drive in look and taste. If you're craving a locally owned simple burger and fries, this one is worth trying.

I had a light lunch so felt hungry for dinner early. I got to W & M just before they closed. They were out of fries which was disappointing but I did get The Hal which is their Royal hamburger with added teriyaki beef which they call BBQ steak. I got it with the works. The service was good and relatively fast since I was the only one there lol. There are no tables so take your food elsewhere to eat. The Hal was filling and the Teri beef added even more flavor. It was on the sweet side but it was sliced thin and stayed in the burger without being pulled out with each bite. The lettuce was crisp and reminded me of a certain well known CA burger chain. The burger patty was on the thin side. Overall the Hal was a filling and flavorful burger! I wish they were open until early evening hours so you can get dinner from there. 4:30 pm is a bit early so plan on going there for lunch only. It did work out for me today though as I was hungry for an early dinner.
