Reviews
Once seated, we ordered their signature burger which was a blend of Ribeye, Chuck, and ground beef served on a Brioche bun. Let me just say, the wait was absolutely worth it. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection delivering on every promise the name implies. With the open-air vibe and being right across the street from the beach, the location only added to the experience. Eating here wasn’t just another meal, it was a slice of Waikiki energy.
So, if you’re in Waikiki and see a long line or people waiting outside to be called in, don’t let it deter you. It’s a sign you’re about to enjoy an amazing burger.
Cheeseburger in Paradise is the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy some great food and drinks! The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and there’s a large selection of beers and cocktails to choose from. The bar area is a fun hangout, especially for the sports enthusiast with all the games on. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. A great place to relax, eat, and enjoy the vibe—highly recommend!
However, the burger was disappointing. While it looked fine, the patty was cold and dry, and the bun was hard, as if it had been reheated multiple times. The burger was not warm overall.
At around $20, the price may be reasonable for Hawaii, and the location is good, but the food did not live up to the reviews. Based on my experience, I felt this place did not meet expectations.
We hit it during what seemed like peak dinner rush, but the hostess was welcoming and got us seated almost immediately. Our waiter was super personable, jumped right in with drink orders, and everything came out fast—drinks quick, and our burgers arrived lightning fast when we skipped apps and went straight to entrees. Ideal for a burger joint when you’re hungry.
The burgers were good—solid, hit the mark for what you’d expect from a quick, beachy burger spot, nothing over-the-top but definitely satisfying. Atmosphere is open, airy, and lively (read: loud, in the best way for that island energy).
One miss: the fries tasted and felt like frozen store-bought ones (Walmart Great Value style)—a bit disappointing since the rest was so speedy and fresh-tasting.
Overall, great for a decent, fast burger with killer views and location. If you’re in Waikiki and want something straightforward with ocean vibes, this place delivers. The sunset alone made it worth it.
Cons: A little loud on football Sundays.
