HONOLULU (HI Now) - Hawaii Kai is serving up big flavors with two standout restaurants bringing fresh and exciting menu items to the table. Teddy’s Bigger Burgers is featuring two limited-time specials that are turning heads: the Gorgonzilla Burger and the Ube Haupia Shake. The Gorgonzilla starts with a fresh charbroiled patty layered with crispy bacon, grilled onions, creamy balsamic aioli and rich gorgonzola cheese for a smoky, savory and tangy steakhouse-style bite. Paired alongside it, the Ube Haupia Shake blends sweet purple yam and coconut into a thick, creamy local-inspired treat that is as colorful as it is delicious.
Just steps away, TEX 808 has rolled out a bold new menu direction that keeps the Texas BBQ roots intact while expanding into smash burgers, melts, bowls and elevated bar food. The new smash burgers deliver crispy seared edges with juicy beef, melty cheese and house sauces, while the melts feature buttery toasted bread packed with smoked meats and rich BBQ flavor. The standout Mac Daddy Bowl tops creamy mac and cheese with brisket, pulled pork and all the BBQ goodness, making it the ultimate comfort food dish.
With a waterfront lanai on the marina, tons of TVs for sports, live music and a full cocktail menu, TEX 808 in Hawaii Kai has become a go-to gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Both Teddy’s Bigger Burgers and TEX 808 are located in Hawaii Kai and open now.
