BURGERS ON THE EDGE

BURGERS ON THE EDGE

HONOLULU, HAWAII

The last thing I wanted today was a burger.  I need to drop a few pounds and was looking for something lighter.  Keli and me were cruising around and ended up at Good to Grill on Kapahulu.  We walked into Good to Grill and found employees that were like zombies.  No service, just stares.  The sign by the cash register read "Lunch served at 12:00".  It was 11:40 so we left.  Keli saw Burgers on the Edge and said she wanted a burger.  "You sure I asked".  Yes, Daddy, lets get a burger.  I was forced.  Keli ordered the Waygu Beef Burger ($8.49) with cheese, turkey bacon, pickles and sprouts.  I ordered the burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle ($8.49).  I took two bites and was done.  Could only dream of a $2.00 In n' Out Burger.  How can a burger cost $8.49 and not be as good as a $2.00 In n' Out Burger I thought.  This was disappointing experience.

UPDATE:  THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED.

I have avoided eating at Burgers on the Edge due to my on and off again dieting. For over a year, I have drove by the place thinking about those big juicy burgers. When my daughter said she wanted a burger for lunch, I gave in and finally tried this place. When you enter you are given a menu and a pencil. The menu allows you to mark off what you want on your burger. You can choose from a 1/3 or 1/2 pound Wagyu Kobe Style or 100% Premium Ground Chuck burger. The you choose the cheese; cheddar, provolone, Danish Havarti, Parmesan, Pepper Jack, Swiss, Mozzarella or Bleu Cheese. Then you pick a sauce from a list of about 12. The sauces include Jalapeno Ketchup, BBQ, Marinara, Teriyaki, Roasted Garlic, Cajun, Ranch and Basil Pesto. Then you choose the toppings (4 included with burger). There are the regular lettuce, tomato, onion and more like a fried egg, grilled ham, roasted peppers, bacon, mushrooms, caramelized apples and grilled pineapple to name a few. Choose a bun from white or whole wheat and you have your customized Burger on the Edge. We went with a 1/3 pound Wagyu Beef Burger ($7.99) with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and red onion with jalapeno ketchup. My daughter took one bite and said "delicious". I took a bite and agreed. This was a very good burger. We tried the Sweet Potato Fries ($4.89). These are fried Sweet Potato gut thin and crunchy. They are good but expensive. My daughter ate the entire burger. Not a thread of evidence left on her plate. I finished too and was very full. The burgers here are good but a bit expensive. Lunch for two with drinks was $25. UPDATE 2012 - OUT OF BUSINESS.
