Toasted buns, perfectly charred and juicy patties, mixed with savory tertiary ingredients made this the best smash burger on the island for me. Great, friendly service, short wait, worthwhile price and cute, comfortable area to eat. Also easy parking area and bathrooms.

I love fun guy burger. I got it for take out and it was delicious, crisp and hot when it got home 15 minutes later. I did not expect the grilled bread to be so buttery ono! And the meat is so juicy! I will come back again.

Amazing smash burgers. Tried a few other places on the island but they don’t come close to this one. If you want a good, and satisfying burger then this is the place and well worth the drive outside of Waikiki if that is where you are staying.

Shay's Smash Burgers came up as I searched nearby restaurants. Their burgers looked so good so my husband and I decided to try them out, we ordered the Fun Guy deluxe (an additional 2 to make it deluxe) and its literally adding tomatoes lettuce and onions making it 12 for just the burger. Kinda pricey. We also ordered the Bacon Me Krazy fries, fries with cheese and bacon. The cheese is different, not sure if the mix it with mustard but that's what it tastes like. Overall, it's was good. Nice little food truck.
