The truffle fries are to die for, so fresh, flavorful and soft. The lobster smash burger came with soft bun, tasty lobster and that beef patty is so tender, I swear it's wagyu. Then there the lobster roll with soft roll and plenty of fresh lobster meat. 5 stars all the way.

Was craving lobster rolls before our flight to Maui. Wife found this place. A bit pricy, but absolutely worth it. Wife got the regular lobster roll and I had the jumbo. Tons of lobster meat. Buttery roll. The French fries a Must! Super crispy and seasoned so well. This place is tucked away in a small shopping mall that seems very slow. Super friendly staff, worker/ owner. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for lobster rolls. 10/10

My 2 favorites done well and at reasonable prices. The Smash Burger is seasoned so good and the Lobster Roll is overflowing. Its only a lunch place (closes pretty early), but the dedicated outdoor seating is the best place to enjoy your meal.

I was craving a buttery lobster roll and my cravings were answered here. My husband grabbed the smash burger, and he really enjoyed that as well. We both said we would love to come back and try other items on the menu. The fries were perfectly crispy and I ordered the garlic aioli to compliment the fries. The staff were very friendly. Looking forward to another visit.

I stopped by today to have a dinner burger and chose the chicken burger with french fries and was I surprised. It was so good. I could not believe how good the chicken burger was and the fries were good also. The workers were nice and the service was great. I definitely recommend this place.

I got the spicy chicken sandwich, a smash burger, and fries. The spicy chicken sandwich was massive and the chicken was super tender. The smash burger comes with two patties and was amazing. The fries were delicious, maybe my favorite on the island, big but crispy and soft in the middle. Only downside was the fries weren’t hot, they were just warm. Couldn’t recommend this place more, especially because the prices are super fair, it’s a great deal. And they get extra points for making the addons for the burger fair priced, too often I see addons rediculously priced but theirs are under a dollar for the most part. And they give you a good amount of fries for the price.

Brought family to one of our favorite spots in Ward Village. Kind and attentive staff even after the ordering process with multiple points of contact. Generous amount of lobster on the Jumbo Lobster Roll. Juicy and buttery. Grab a couple napkins. Fish and fries were delicious with their tartar sauce. My only dislike of this place is the tables were quite wobbly, but may be due to the pavement which I don't count against the restaurant.

The lobster roll is buttery and juicy. The bread is fresh and the french fries are probably even more delicious than the lobster roll. Will definitely be coming back to taste more of their menu items
