With a nod to old- school American diners, Betty’s Burgers honors timeless burgers and traditions. With two locations, one on University Avenue and a newly opened spot in Waikiki, it’s spreading the word that their old fashioned burgers are here to stay. Co- owners Douglas “Moe” Morrison and Jed Roa have been longtime business partners. Formerly the food and beverage manager for the Seattle Seahawks, Morrison drew inspiration from the wildly popular burgers once served at the then-named Century Link Field. With a nostalgic nod to his high school days, Morrison named the restaurant after his study hall teacher, joking, “because she never made me study.” Embracing the nostalgic spirit of a 1950s diner, Betty’s keeps its menu simple. Each smash burger at Betty’s starts with a quarter -pound patty, then iceberg lettuce, and buns from Liliha Bakery. From there, it’s all about what you’re craving: cheese, bacon, spicy, BBQ, deluxe, or even teriyaki. For lighter appetites, they also offer fresh salads and kid meals. No trip to Betty’s Burgers is complete without a thick, old fashioned shake. With a choice of classic flavors (like strawberry or chocolate) and tropical twists (like passion fruit and mango), plus a rotating flavor of the month, there’s a perfect pairing for every burger. With affordable prices, loyal customers say Betty’s Burgers holds its own in quality and price against nearby staples like Teddy’s Bigger Burgers and Burger King. Even local celebrities like JBoog and High Watah have stopped by for a bite. So next time you're near the UH campus, swing by Betty’s Burger, or check out their new Waikiki spot at the Royal Hawaiian Dining Plaza. Either way, go hungry.
