Bacon Burger
The heaviest of Kua’Aina’s three basic burgers: the lava-rock grilled patty with smoky, salty bacon on top. The shop itself suggests it for big appetites with the half-pound patty, and that combination is a proper North Shore lunch. Add avocado, which is offered as a topping on any burger, to cut through the salt.

About Kua 'Aina
Kua ’Aina opened in May 1975 in Haleiwa, a small surf town on the North Shore of Oahu, and sold just twelve meals on its first day. It built its reputation slowly on burgers cooked to order and grilled over lava rock, a favourite stop for surfers and anyone driving the North Shore.
The original shop in Haleiwa, Hawaii, plus restaurants across Japan and in Taipei.
