My boss and I were just driving around, running errands, when we decided to pull into McCully Shopping Center to find something to eat.
I wasn’t thinking about burgers — until I saw a new burger shop had opened this summer in the spot vacated by the Banana Leaf Pasta Cafe.
Pipi’s Burgers, which opened in July, has that cool vibe, with a beach-inspired decor, island music blaring over speakers and surf videos playing on a flat screen mounted in the dining room.
Burgers here are made with seasoned premium Angus beef, made-to-order and topped with interesting marinades and ingredients like panko, shredded daikon and wasabi mayonnaise.
At least that’s what we were told.
So we decided to see for ourselves.
Here’s what our lunch looked like:
Milkshakes
I will say, though, the shakes ($3.75) were awesome. Made-to-order — just like the sandwiches — these shakes boasted real ice cream. Flavors are chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter and the popular green tea. You can't beat the price, too. The verdict: I'll be back, if not for anything but the milkshakes.
Pipi’s Burgers, McCully Shopping Center, 1960 Kapiolani Blvd. Hours: 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Phone: (808) 946-4747

Guud evening Cat!
Those burgers looks really guud!
I didn’t know you have a boss, I thought you were the boss. 🙂
Happy Fuud Friday Pics!
Boss? New news? Anyways, love a good burger. Locally here we have the Chargrill. Simple burger, awesome milkshakes, and decent fries. Cooked on a grill in the shop and you sit outside and smell this wonderful aroma while you wait. I’d love to franchise one in Ewa or Kailua some day. But hey, they only have 4 stores. Reminds me of when I asked Bojangles if I could get an Ewa beach franchise. Answer: You are the only one to ever ask…
Nevah thought a burger would cause nostalgic meanderings.
CAT: Aaaiiiyyyaaahhh! Fuud Pix! Tenks! Luuks tempting. Went to football game on Saturday and who do we see on the Jumbotron? none other than you in two shots, viewed by over 25K people, on a gigantic TV screen. Have you seen it yet?
looks interesting. isn’t the “katsu burger” just a menchi sandwich?
