If you’ve been reading The Dish for a while now you know that one of my favorite things to watch on TV is Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. There’s just something about that little slice of Americana where people cook not only from their hearts, but from what they have known culturally as well. I love the personality and the love and the use of great ingredients to make something completely memorable.
That being said, Bubba’s Burgers is what a burger place should be. It’s a no-nonsense, completely Hawaiian, laid-back joint that uses local beef and discourages the use of lettuce or tomatoes. No health food allowed!
See? Told ya 😉
“Bubba refuses to serve any burger costing less than a can of dog food.”
Amen.
Amen again 😉
If you go to Kauai you NEED to eat here. Remember, no health food allowed 😉
OMG!!! Looks like you are having a GREAT time!!!!!
My hubby LOVES triple D!
Ahh, just reading this makes me feel better!
Health food sucks! Haha I love it! Gorgeous photos as usual Heather!
I absolutely love traveling and sampling local foods! It’s one of my favorite things to do!
I think you should kidnap Bubba because he’s got it going on in that place 🙂
I had a day like that on the way to Crested Butte last summer. Nothing healthy, just a fat greasy burger and it was soooo good. I couldn’t eat all of it, but the atmosphere there was awesome.
The sign about the kids is GREAT!!!
Those burgers look so good!!! And I love how they decorated the place — the red/white stripes are hilarious.
You’re on vacation! Live it up and no worries about health food 🙂
Looks like a really fun time!!
Love the pic of the fan!
I can’t wait to see more pics! 🙂 Hope your trip is going well (it appears to be, from the looks of this place!)
We went to Kauai last year and it was seriously the best time of my life. Most beautiful place on earth.

I loved the video! Thanks for sharing your trip. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and so this gives me a glimpse of what it is like. The fruit looks amazing. Enjoy every moment!
I’m not sure what I’m more envious of in this….the fact that you are in the beautiful Kauai or the fact that you are eating amazing burgers in the beautiful Kauai.
