Then head over to Grass Skirt Tiki Room for the Flaming CocoNaut Reentry, a this-one-sneaks-up-on-you libation for 2-4 people depending on your thirst, your greed, and/or how many sips it takes to make you all giggly. It’s made from cream of coconut, fresh squeezed lime juice, and Myer’s Dark Rum. Bacardi 151, the lighter fluid behind great tropical drinks, is set ablaze for the pleasure of the drinking audience. The concoction itself is surprisingly light and refreshing, which only encourages the imbiber to slurp happily till it’s all gone.

Chuckle-junkies and outre amusement-seekers — or, hell, anyone who just likes a good time — should immediately bolt in. See, only an enjoyment-gene-deficient person could resist the wacky charms lurking behind the Grass Skirt’s oversize-knife-and-fork-handled door.

Whatever you do, just don’t call them sliders. The Hawaiian Burgers (2 for $5) are small hamburger patties topped with Swiss cheese, green onions, grilled pineapple served on a Hawaiian sweet roll bun. The beef itself isn’t anything noteworthy, though the saltiness complements the sweetness of the pineapple and the sprinkle of cinnamon on top. I found the burger could use some sort of sauce condiment, and while the menu states they are topped with a Teriyaki mayo, I believe it was omitted from my sandwich. What elevates these burgers is the toasted insides of the bun. Slathered in butter and browned on a stove top, the sweet rolls really turn these li’l ones into something a regular bun could not achieve.

Spam sliders very good, the chinese mustard gives them a nice kick. Drinks are crafted with pride, and each was explained with ease by the bartender. They need a door closer for the front door, since people do not realize they have to close the door. That will come in handy in colder weather. Glad they have a few spots for parking by the building.
