Pahoa Restaurant

  Had the trips here because I was needing more protein for the day. A dubs would have been totally fine. A truly awesome smash burger. ... read more Juicy, flavorful. The buns were small which is fine. I wrapped mine in a paper towel that made handling this delicious burger more manageable. This is one of the burgers that you pick up once. Fries were crispy and tender. Will come here again.

  The food is great . The burgers were tasty and well prepared. The sides were also good. The service was adequate but they had a hard time getting my order correct.

  Delicious burger! The single patty burger is pretty small, but with the fries it filled me up and was very tasty. $10 for a burger and fries is a great... read more deal for Waikoloa as well.

  Tons of seating inside and a decent amount of outside tables too.

The service was great and food came out quickly.

We got two burgers and fries. The... read more burger was super crispy and the sauce was great!

It was a bit too greasy for my liking and kinda fell apart when eating so for the price would expect a few improvements but still overall a good meal and worth a visit.

  Went to Smash Daddys after seeing some of the photos and reviews. I've had a lot of burgers in my lifetime, but I'd have to say the 50/50 dub smoker... read more is the best burger I've ever had! Whoever came up with this knew what they were doing. We'll definitely be back.

  The burgers are sooo good. Staff is good. Probably my favorite burger place right now.

  4.2/5

Was on vacation and saw a new shopping center in Waikoloa. Stopped in to take a look and saw smash daddy and gave it a shot.

Ambiance... read more - great vibe in here, music, open kitchen so you can see cooks. A few beers on tap. Lights along the ceiling, with of all things, skateboard decks.

Service - woman who took our order was nice and welcoming, also very patient as it took us awhile to order.

Food - in all honestly I did not order anything. I had a bite of 2 of their burgers from my family. I had a bite of the smashed kalo burger which was surprisingly beefy. I thought it would be grainy but we enjoyed it. I also had a bite of their double smash burger which was so good. They really smash it thin to get those crispy edges that I love. I think my only issue was 1) these burgers are NOT cheap. We're talking $20 each, it does come with fries though. 2) the burger did leave a literal puddle of grease on the paper. Still enjoyed it regardless but, can be a little off putting for some.

  The food was great. Everything came out fast and service was great. Pretty reasonably priced especially for Kona.

  Burgers were delicious! The bacon addition was perfect. Wish they had more options for toppings and better ranch. Fries were cooked to perfection and onion rings were also very tasty... read more but they were slightly too fried. Service was also great. All the staff were really friendly. There's lots of tables and the decor inside is nice and overall a nice place to stop by for a quick bite.
