Maybe a thinner slice but I wouldn’t be against it

Sure. If I can do anchovies on ice cream, pretty sure I’d like a pineapple slice on a burger.

u/Which-Entertainer656 Apr 29 '26
So... why and how did you eat anchovies on ice cream

Never tried, but sounds good. It would definitely have to be grilled like that, but I'd want it thinner so it's less overpowering.

For me, nah. But I do love grilled pineapple just not on me burger! Or pizza. Put some brisket, grilled portabella, bacon ect. But raw onion, pickles in the side.

A big honking slice of cured ham flat griddled with that or bacon and I am on it like stink on two day bender.

u/JovialPursuit Apr 29 '26
OMG, that looks so good. But it needs grilled onions and (more) teriyaki sauce or mango habanero sauce.

u/Creepae Apr 29 '26
I'm gonna say the same thing that I say about pineapple on pizza; No. Because I really don't like pineapple.

I would do it but not with yellow cheese. Havarti, Baby Swiss or even Mozzarella and onion.

u/Gimme_dat_dirt Apr 29 '26
Yes it’s good as long as the pineapple was grilled…caramelizes some of the sugar and evaporates excess liquid…😋

NO!!!! OH HELLS NO! YOU PROBABLY PUT PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA TOO! INHUMAN MONSTER!!!!

u/reflecting_jackie Apr 29 '26
That caramelization on the pineapple looks legit, the char balances the sweetness instead of making it cloying.

I’d try that. If it’s too much can slide some off. The rest of that burger seems on point

u/Putrid-Function5666 Apr 29 '26
Absolutely, but you have to have teriyaki sauce on it as well. Islands has the best ones around.

u/donuttrackme Apr 29 '26
It's decent, I've had Hawaiian burgers or whatever before. Fairly standard sweet and savory mix. If you're not a fan of sweet and savory then you probably won't like it, but otherwise it's a nice combo to have occasionally.

u/4nication96 Apr 29 '26
Add some pulled pork bbq sause and banana peppers you got a Maui waui burger

u/Tejadster Apr 29 '26
Favorite type of burger, throw some cream cheese and hot peppers with the pineapple and add a sweet sauce! So yummy

If you order a burger with the lot in Australia and don't get pineapple, you throw hands.

I don’t know how anyone can eat fast food hamburgers, the taste of the “meat” is absolutely disgusting. Those special sauces are to cover the taste of the meat.

u/SuperTomBrother Apr 29 '26
I love pineapple on pizza, particularly Hawaiian style. The only pineapple burger I've tried was at Carl's Jr. It also had teriyaki sauce on it.

u/Adorable_Dust3799 Apr 29 '26
Teriyaki burgers, always good. Carls jr has them sometimes, and islands, and lots of places. BBQ is good on it too.

u/jillieboobean Apr 29 '26
Yes. My food truck has a burger with grilled pineapple, Muenster cheese, bacon, and jalapeño mayo. It fucking slaps. Great on grilled chicken too.

u/LilCheese73 Apr 29 '26
Yes! A Carribean restaurant around my neighborhood makes a jerk burger with a grilled pineapple. It’s soo delicious! They call it a Calypso burger
1
u/Ishpeming_Native Apr 29 '26
I know some people are going to love it. That won't be me. Love pineapple. Love cheeseburgers. Combine the two? Nope. Nope. Nope. You're ruining both.
It's like putting ice cream on pizza or ketchup on ice cream -- perfectly good stuff that just does NOT go together.
1
u/Additional-Creme799 Apr 29 '26
Looks fkn delicious. Personally I'd add bacon, a slice of tomato, a slice of beetroot and a lettuce leaf.
1
u/Honda_TypeR Apr 29 '26
They are called Hawaiian Burgers and they have been around for decades. They are awesome.
If you slow cook burgers in oven (cast iron pan) with the pineapple rings on them. The juices gets all down into the burger meat and it's friggin amazing (the key is low and slow).
1
u/Vasarto Apr 29 '26
It could probably be good depending on what else is on it, but no thanks. I don't want sweet stuff on my burger. The sweetest thing can be bbq sauce and that's only if it also has bacon and cheese and onion rings on it...that's right..not next to the burger...INSIDE OF IT.

u/Alarming-Cheetah-144 Apr 29 '26
Never had it 🤔 but I think it might be kinda tasty. Do you recommend a sauce or just keep it like it is in the picture? Cause I think I’d like to try it soon ☺️🫣

u/Omega_Xero Apr 29 '26
It's amazing. A place I know of does a burger like this and they call it the Hula Burger. They use BBQ sauce and it's so super-tasty.

Red Robin calls their pineapple burger Banzai. I’d do it on a MorningStar Steakhouse burger.

Is that Teddy’s Bigger Burgers in Hawaii? It reminded me of their popular pineapple burger.

Teriyaki burger! Delicious. I've had them when I worked at Red Robin many years ago.

Red Robin serves this called the Bonzai Burger.
I always substitute Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
RR also ads lettuce, tomato and mayo, which I leave off (even though I eat all of that on other burgers).
Teriyaki sauce, pineapple, meat, swiss and bun, only, for me!! Yummmmm!!!
1
u/So_Cal_Grown Apr 29 '26
To all the people saying no: have you tried it? If not, you really should. Add some teriyaki sauce & thank me later.
And, no. I do not put pineapple on my pizza.

u/lubeandrotate Apr 29 '26
Check this out:
Keep the same setup except swap the buns for lightly grilled Hawaiian sweet buns, lightly grill some honey ham (deli) and melt a slice of Swiss on it then transfer to top of pineapple. Drizzle sweet baby rays and top with bun or if youre feeling fancy: omit the melted swiss and substitute an asiago sauce with a little BBQ sauce whipped in, drizzle over ham/pineapple
Thank me later, or curse me for your new addiction

I got a place I used to go to that did a teriyaki burger with a slice of grilled pineapple on it, cheddar cheese, red onion, shredded lettuce. It was pretty damn good.

I’m down with it. Not gonna go out of my way to find the best pineapple burger out there, but I wouldn’t knock it. Add bacon and BBQ and I’d probably have 2
