Bubba Burgers
With three locations on Kauai, Bubba Burgers says its burgers are always juicy but never greasy. Bubba burgers are made from Kauai beef, served on a toasted bun with the usual suspects including mustard, ketchup, relish and diced onions. Go large with the half-pound Big Bubba, get messy biting into the chili-smothered Slopper or stay local with the teriyaki burger. The menu offers sides like fries, onion rings and chili, plus chicken sandwiches, corn dogs and Caesar salads.

Tropical Taco
Tropical Taco used to be a movable feast. Like many taco joints in the Hawaiian Islands, this restaurant started as a truck serving fish tacos on the side of the road. Now located in an actual building but styled to remind you of its mobile origins, Tropical Taco serves island-style Mexican fare like tostadas, burritos, quesadillas and, of course, tacos.
