We read the reviews, and decided to give Poipu Tropical Burgers a try anyway. We were hardly greeted when we got there, but were led to a sticky table with a view of the garbage cans out back. The waitress was less than friendly; didn't say anything to us. Well, she did when she tossed the menus to us and... more

My wife and I visited this resturant for dinner on Father's Day 2009. We were ushered to a table in the back of the place with a view of the backyard (there were many other table opened). After several minutes, our waiter came over and tossed some menus at us and then left without taking our drink order. Then he... more

This was the best restaurant we ate at in Kauai because the food was simple and served with a smile. The other restaurants tried to make their food fancy with lots of sauces and spices which covered up the taste of the food. This place used much less sauce and were able to even leave that off by request. There... more

My husband and I went to Poipu Burgers for a late lunch April 19th. Our server was the surliest, angriest server I have ever had. Any place that allows someone as rude as he was to be not only the person that seats the guests, but continues to offend them through out their meal, should be held responsible for being... more

We decided on simple for dinner that night and went to tropical burger in Poipu Shopping Village. It was quick, food was decent, and they had some live music. Not really memorable, but it was cheap. If they have live music, i would say that it's a good place to have a couple cheap drinks and hang out if you're... more

The four of us ordered various burgers, salads, etc. Two salads arrived some time later. Then one of the burgers. My daughter, yet to be served her chicken burger, insisted we go ahead and start. Good thing, because her lunch showed up when we were about done, when the waitress threw it on the table without a word of regret.... more

We went around 7pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant was not crowded and we were seated promptly. We ordered the fried chicken and their signature hamburger. The waiter asked how I wanted the hamburger cooked and I replied "medium". It came well done, and therefore, quite dry. It didn't help that the bread seemed dry and stale, so overall... more

We thought the guide book may have been wrong about this place, as the place seemed fairly busy on a weeknight. We were seated quickly - the only problem was they have live music and we were placed literally right in front of the speaker. We couldn't hear each other talk, & when the waitress finally came by I had... more

We should have known from the moment we walked in that we should just turn around and leave. The restaurant was not very busy, but we had to wait forever to be seated. Then the waitress took our party of 8 to our tables, and gave us 2 tables for 4 that were not even close together. We asked if... more

Our 2nd lunch here. Once on this trip and once back in May 2008. Our feedback is exactly the same. The food was ok. It was a cheeseburger. However, the service needs some serious work. Unfortunately I think they don't have enough competition to be motivated to improve. The hot dog stand next door should help in this regard. They... more
