Few eateries actually qualify as “burger
shacks” but that is exactly what Bully’s Burgers is. Located on the mauka
(inland) side of the road just a bit past Tedeschi Winery / Maui Winery, Bully’s
Burgers is the last place to buy some grinds before hitting the general store in
Kaupo a long ways towards Hana (assuming you’re headed towards Hana, doing the
Back Road to Hana tour). Is it worth it? It certainly is the best roadside
burger I’ve ever had, I’ll tell you that. It wasn’t a fancy burger either, just
a plain and simple burger that they’ll tell you is 100% natural beef. (Ignore
the pig in the pen next to the condiment table.) After tasting the burger I
believe them, despite having to acknowledge the rest of their food and drinks
are from Costco. But hey, you’ve got to give a little to get a little. It did
take about 15 minutes to get the food but c’mon, this isn’t McDonalds here and
there is a view to admire while you wait. Service was very friendly, too, another
feather in their cap. I will mention that there are only a few tables here, so
you may have to cozy up to a stranger or else eat in your car but I can’t
imagine eating their burger without the view. So, if you like burgers, yes,
stop here and you probably will not be disappointed. (Well, except by the
prices maybe which are $9-$15 a burger. But hey, this place is out in the
middle of nowhere. What do you expect?)
Location: 15900 Pi'ilani Highway; Open 11am-7pm (8pm in the summer)
