For a mouthwatering smash burger with caramelized edges and a juicy center, visit Smash Daddy’s 808, where each bite bursts with flavor. Opened in April 2024, the restaurant has become a popular spot for those craving their unique burgers, which start as a ball of seasoned ground beef that is smashed down on a hot griddle, creating a perfect sear and signature caramelized edges. Burgers are topped with fresh ingredients like caramelized onions, grilled jalapenos, and their special house-made sauce. From The Dubs, featuring two brisket blend patties topped with melted American cheese, to the Hawai‘i Kalo Burger, with a seasoned taro patty, their bold flavors and quality ingredients make their burgers stand out. To complement your burger, enjoy hand-cut, golden French fries and onion rings that add crunch with every bite. To quench your thirst, Smash Daddy’s 808 offers rich, indulgent shakes (including boozy versions for the adults) that provide a sweet chill between bites. For those seeking refreshing, locally produced cider or beer, a variety of rotating brews and ciders are available, crafted with fresh, local fruits. Options range from guava cider and crisp lagers to invigorating IPAs and rich stouts. From unforgettable burgers to a relaxed, island vibe, Smash Daddy’s 808 is the perfect blend of flavor and atmosphere.
