Ah, the burger – one of the staples of American cuisine. Due to the simple nature of the burger, chefs are allowed a great deal of creativity when it comes to the way they prepare and serve their burgers. From the modest classics to the new and innovative, here are seven of the best burgers in Hawaii.

  1. Village Burger, Big Island

  1. Pint + Jigger, Oahu

Pint + Jigger With locally-raised beef flavored with either oatmeal stout or Guiness beer, their famous Black + Tan burger is perfectly paired with a good brew.

  1. Cheeseburger in Paradise, Maui

  1. Teddy’s Bigger Burgers

  1. Honolulu Burger Co, Oahu

  1. Bubba Burger, Kauai
