W&M BBQ Burger

I just remembered that I saved a draft for a review of W&M BBQ Burger. So here's a special in depth review!

W&M BBQ Burger

Along Waialae Avenue sits a classic East O'ahu burger institution. W&M BBQ Burger. Located across from Fresh Catch, W&M BBQ Burger can be easily missed (the only indication visible from the road being a small wooden sign). I suggest you get your burgers early because parking is very limited (only about ten parking spaces) and the lot fills up fast.

So how does a burger joint with such a small parking lot that doesn't even open on Monday's and Tuesday's make rent? Simple. Make the best teri-burger on the island. Although it looks like something you'd get from a fast food restaurant these burgers aren't your average burger. The Royal Burger is W&M's version of a deluxe. They start with a premade hamburger patty dipped in their special teriyaki sauce (more on that later) then thrown on the fire. The patty is dipped a couple more times in the sauce before having the cheese added and then being placed on a bun and topped with lettuce, onion and tomato's with your choice of condiments. The Royal Burger is quite expensive at $3.60 each but is worth every penny. Well, I lied. I opt for a different approach. I start with their standard cheese burger and ask for no lettuce and add mayo. I find that the taste of the burger really shines without the extras.

Now earlier I mentioned W&M BBQ Burger's special teriyaki sauce. This sauce is what makes these burgers so delicious. Without the sauce, W&M would just be like any other burger joint. The sauce is key. They dunk everything in it -- burgers, cheese, teri-steak burgers even hotdogs! The sauce is what makes this institution so phenomenal.

So the next time you're up and around Waialae Ave keep an eye out for W&M BBQ Burger (just make sure it isn't a Monday or Tuesday!)
