Aloha KBAT FANS,
We have been busy and we are excited to bring you Surf Burger. Yes it is still “Coming Soon” but now sooner than ever, we are expecting to be open by Thanksgiving, We hope you will enjoy the simple menu with lower prices, and all packaged for carry-out in compostable materials. Look to try our new fun and fresh fruit Frosties which will be the new craze in shakes but are a bit lower in fat and lactose free.
We plan on opening Surf Burger at 9am so you can grab a few of our tasty, made to order Dawn Patrol items like our famous Egg Sandwich or the new Russet Rooster it’s like a loco…but on fries! Yum!
In the meantime we have been working on the KBAT Dining Room too, we have expanded seating and are making headway on our company wide “no plastic” conversion. We at KBAT have made a decision to go further in addressing the planet’s plastic crisis. Some of you know that in 2012 we were awarded with the Recycle Hawaii’s Keeping it Green Award , but with the disturbing news that Hawaii will be eliminating the bulk plastic recycle program we knew we needed to do more and to act quickly. Although it is impossible to eliminate all together and all at once, we make strides everyday. We no longer carry bottled water in plastic, we have changed all carry out cups to an “eco green” compostable brand. This obviously has increased some costs but we are doing our best to only pass it on to those who want it. For example if you really need your sauce on the side, you will get a larger portion of our home made sauce but you will be charged .50 for the eco cup. Hey, we still have cold filtered “Kawaihae Tap” for free, bring your own vessel…but if you need a cup it’s still .50. If you really need a bottled water we now offer Acqua Panna, delicious but pricey! We also look carefully at what people eat and send back unused, so now we will be offering sauces for purchase for those who need them, on some keiki and regular menu items. On a few of these items the menu prices have decreased with the option of purchasing a sauce.
The great news is that we have also worked hard with our vendors and our procedures to lower some of our food product costs and thus (although labor costs continue to rise) we are still able to offer our BEST VALUE - Fully Loaded Standard Burger with Fries and a Coca Cola Fountain Drink for only $12.99 and our Famous Original Burger with 100% Hawaii Grass Fed Beef, Fresh Baked Brioche Bun, Fresh Cut Veggies and Homemade Sauce for only $7.99.
We look forward to serving you. Please follow us on Instagram @KohalaBurger and @SurfBurgerHawaii
