Honolulu Burger Company, Honolulu: Burgers in Red-Checked Baskets on South Beretania Street
Honolulu Burger Company is a burger restaurant at 1295 S Beretania St in the Makiki area of Honolulu. Honolulu Burger Company's website says its dishes are made with 100% local grass-fed, free-range beef and that each burger comes on a locally baked bun. My photos from May 2022 show burgers, fries and fried rings on red-and-white checkered paper.
Two burgers, opened up
The cover photo shows a burger with two stacked patties, yellow cheese melted between and over them, and a heap of soft, browned onions on top. The top bun sits beside it with lettuce, a tomato slice and a pink-orange sauce spread across the bun.

The second burger is covered in glossy brown sauce. Under it I can see what looks like a fried egg, a pink slice that looks like ham and more browned onions on the patty, with the yolk glowing orange through the sauce. I can't tell from the photo which menu item it is. Loco moco is a Hawaii plate of rice topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg and brown gravy, and Honolulu Burger Company's home page features a Loco Moco Burger (checked Nov 14, 2026), but the photo can't show whether this is it.
Fries and fried rings

In the fries photo, the fries sit under a chunky, reddish-brown meat sauce that looks like chili, with shredded yellow cheese piled on top.

Another serving, also on red-and-white checkered paper, is a pile of golden battered rings that look like onion rings.
What a 2026 guide says about Honolulu Burger Company
