Teddy's Bigger Burgers - Haleiwa
About
A North Shore Staple for Serious Burger Lovers
When you find yourself cruising through the historic streets of Haleiwa on Oahu's North Shore, the smell of searing beef and caramelized onions is a dead giveaway that you're near Teddy's Bigger Burgers. This spot captures the laid-back, sun-drenched spirit of the surfing capital, serving as the go-to refuel point after a long morning chasing swells at Sunset Beach or Waimea Bay.
Crafting the 50s-Style Island Classic
The magic here lies in the preparation. Unlike your typical fast-food chains, Teddy’s takes a culinary approach to the standard burger. Every patty is made from 100% chilled ground chuck, never frozen, and cooked to order over an open flame. Their signature "Super Sauce" provides that tangy, creamy punch that ties the lettuce, tomato, and onion together perfectly. If you are feeling bold, their Volcano Burger, loaded with spicy ghost pepper sauce, offers a heat level that matches the intensity of the winter surf season.
The Haleiwa Dining Experience
The space carries that unmistakable retro diner aesthetic, updated with a local Hawaiian flair. Expect to hear classic rock humming over the sound of customers recounting their latest surf stories. It is loud, vibrant, and unapologetically casual—sand-dusted boardshorts are practically the uniform here. Just keep in mind that space can get tight during the midday lunch rush when locals and tourists converge, so you might find yourself sharing a picnic-style table.
Whether you're grabbing a thick, hand-spun milkshake to combat the tropical humidity or diving into a towering stack of cheddar-topped beef, this outpost serves as a cornerstone of the local community. It is simple, consistent, and provides that classic American comfort food experience that tastes like home, even if you are thousands of miles away in the middle of the Pacific.

Burgers were amazing, friendly staff! Gal at the bar was very friendly and running the bar like a champ! Order accuracy at the kitchen level was terrible, person taking our order got it right as she confirmed and shown on screen and receipt but our food was wrong. 2x burger with avocado bacoda or some like that, no cheese no onion on both but they both had onion and cheese. We ordered tots but got fries. Still everywhere was delicious and thank you for responding to make it right! If we are visiting Honolulu anytime soon, I'll reach out! 🙏

I went to Teddy’s Bigger Burgers for the first time on this trip and had a really great experience. The food was delicious, and they had more options than I expected, including some vegetarian choices. It’s not just burgers. They also had a solid selection of beers and ciders, plus some really good food specials. The staff was super cool and attentive, which made it an easy place to hang out. We ended up stopping in while it was pouring rain and stayed for a while, grabbed food a couple times, played cards, and just enjoyed the laid back vibe. Great location right on the main strip in Haleiwa, and overall just a really chill, welcoming spot. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed Teddy’s Big Burgers. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion sizes. A perfect stop in Haleʻiwa. We’d definitely eat here again.

Ok, this has got to be the best burger on O‘ahu. They have an incredible selection and you can add anything you want. Parking is a premium here as it's in the back and shares with several other restaurants. Happy hour beer made this place the top in my book. For a burger that has great beef and fresh topping, stop here and grab a bite.

I am a tourist here, but my sister who lives here recommended this place as a local favorite of theirs for a big family dinner on movie on the deck night. It did not disappoint. My burger was excelent. They asked how I wanted it cooked, and cooked it exactly how I wanted it. Patty was a nice big juicy one too. The onion rings were some of the best I have had in a very long time. My dad shared a few of his fries which were also great. Everything came hot and fresh out of the kitchen. No sad heat lamp food. I did not try one as I was driving, but my dad liked his happy hour Mai Tai so much he went back for another. The staff was very friendly and happy to help us. Seemed to genuinely care that everyone got what they wanted to eat. They also came out and cleared away empty plates for us and made sure everyone was happy, even though I believe it is a bus your own table place. We happily stayed for the whole movie, enjoying the weather and family time in a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes American burger shop type food.

My go to for milkshakes/malts!! Also, I’ve never had an issue with service here but ya know when someone has superior service where you notice the quality? Tonight during rush hour an employee (who I hope is a manager) noticeably met higher standards of service through extra efficiency, communication, and friendliness! Not to mention they were always busy running a dish, speaking with a customer, or cleaning. Just want to shout out Hunter because staff like this can be rare to find!

I've enjoyed eating here every time I've come! Last time I had the veggie burger, this trip I had the crispy chicken sandwich. Not we're delicious! Mom had a burger and sister had a salad with grilled chicken. All were delicious! I only wish I could have gone on karaoke night!

First time coming here, was recommended by several friends when I asked where to get a good cheeseburger. I went to the location in Haleiwa, I was not disappointed, food was delicious. I ordered a combo, bacon cheeseburger with cheddar cheese, very juicy, fries were hot and crispy, burger was excellent, with a iced tea. Television sets all over, it was Monday night so there was football and also the world series was on. I enjoyed the visit and look forward to bringing my wife back soon. I would recommend this place. A little pricey but what do you expect in Hawaii. Enjoy!

Looking for a great burger? This is the place!!! When you walk in there are two ways to place your order. 1) order from the front counter they will give you your cup and you grab your own beverage from their beverage station. Then wait for your number to be called. 2) OR if you are looking for a nice cold beer to go with your amazing burger, and can grab a seat at the bar, DO IT! The bartender we had was so personable! AND they will take your order there! You won’t have to take a number and wait for it to be called. Luckily we were early enough to be able to grab seats at the bar. Their burgers are delicious! Nice grilled flavor, meaty, and all around AMAZING! Make sure you have lots of napkins! These burgers are no joke! Accompany your burger with a basket of fries, tots, or onion rings. If you’re looking for a serious burger on your way to the north shore stop at Teddy’s!
