Oahu's burger scene runs deep — from market pop-ups and food truck rallies to beachside cafes and casual fast-casual counters. I pulled together 57 qualifying spots island-wide and ranked this guide by combining my own verified picks with the best-rated burgers the island has to offer.
At the top of the list is JOJA Hawaii, Hawaii's original truffle smashburger, which I personally recommend — you'll find it at the Kakaako Farmers Market every Saturday morning. It earns the NateEatsHawaii badge as one of my hand-picked spots. Further down, Banzai Burger in Waikiki is well regarded for its made-to-order burgers with a Hawaiian twist inside Kuhio Avenue Food Hall, and Barefoot Beach Cafe at Queen's Surf Beach is popular for its laid-back outdoor vibe, Hawaiian plates, and weekend beach BBQ.
