thank you for taking the time to write about your recent visit to cabbage key . the story that
cheeseburger in paradise
was written about cabbage key is a rumor started many years ago . . . something cabbage key , inc . has never endorsed nor advertised . however , in the 1970 ' s , jimmy buffett did spend time at cabbage key before he performed a concert in ft . myers . some of the cabbage key staff , at the time , were invited to the concert and jimmy buffett acknowledged the staff and then played the “new” song ,
cheeseburger in paradise . ” we have been making our “cheeseburgers in paradise” since the early 1970’s ! thanks again for the feedback and we hope to see you again soon !

my 9 year old loves cheeseburgers in paradise in waikiki and west there whenever we visit , so she was super excited to find one on maui ! it’s worth eating there just for the view - waterfront looking out over lanai and the sunset . the service was . . .
i think i like the idea of cheeseburger in paradise a lot more than the actual experience . it sounds like a nice relaxing choice when you think about it , but when you actually get there the burgers are average and the atmosphere is filled with cheap looking decor . it really is nothing special , but it also isn ' t an awful choice either .

came to visit our son at uindy and had the pleasure of meeting general manager dustin while he was helping out during a busy dinner time . very helpful , friendly , and delicious food to top it off ! i would highly recommend this restaurant for those in the area !
my family discovered this restaurant on the 2nd night of our stay in honolulu . what a find ! we had a full day & still adjusting from est , this was exactly what we needed . the food & drinks were delicious . and all staff were fun & . . .
this is how it all began in lahaina , october 1989 . you ' re gonna love our five napkin cheeseburger topped with a slice of colby jack cheese . top off your cheeseburger with any of these add - ons for $ 1 . 50 each : swiss , blue cheese , bacon , avocado , mushrooms , guacamole , banana peppers , jalapeños , grilled pineapple , fried egg , or sautéed onions

our juicy cheeseburger topped with hash browns , fried egg , and crispy bacon . for those who can ' t make up their mind to have breakfast or lunch !
good food . horrible , inattentive service . we used to have a cheeseburger near us on the north side . happened to be on the south side and we were excited to pop in . then , as we starred at our empty drinks for 10 minutes , in the mostly empty restaurant , we had deja vu . it came back to us why the one on the north side didn ' t make it . same problem . waiters and waitresses more interested in shooting the island breeze than taking care of the customer that tips them ( or not ) . it beffudles me when people in the food service industry can ignore the very people that put money in their pockets . who knows , maybe they are training for government jobs .
fifteen years later , the two women from california have grown their business and the cheeseburger brand into a multimillion - dollar operation with four locations and ambitious plans to expand .
the grand rapids - based chain , started by john brann sr . in 1960 , opened the macomb township location in 2005 . there are 11 other locations in michigan , mostly on the west side of the state .
it was the name from the beginning ,
gartner said .
cheeseburger is a brand . it is the quintessential american , sexy , fun food . eighty percent of the people knew what they wanted before they walked in the door .
always our first stop and meal when we are in town . the ambience speaks for itself . located in downtown lahaina with sweeping views of the ocean and likely one of the best spots for a maui sunset . they have perfected burgers . their standard cheeseburger is anything but and the staff is always very courteous and attentive . license plates from all over the country comfortably clutter the ceiling and if the view was not enough you will most certainly not run out of things to look at inside . restaurant is 2 leveled and we have only sat upstairs . beautiful place and staff .

i have read every book by jimmy buffett ( and have all his albums , even parrothead license plates in virginia ! ) . buffett did not eat his cheeseburger in paradise here . he had it in the caribbean when his sailboat ' s bow sprit broke and his party limped into harbor after 26 hours at sea . we are talking tortola , people , not cabbage key ! the burgers at cabbage key are okay . shrimp is better . rice and beans the best . drinks slightly overpriced , but i guess you have to expect that . we wanted to eat outside but they said we couldn ' t (
too hot
) , overall , not bad , worth a once - in - a - life trip .
not sure why some bad reviews . glad to see a few recent good ones . i think i’ve got pretty good taste with food . i like five - star dining ( spagos , four seasons , los angeles fine dining ) and also be able to eat good dive authentic food . i wasn’t going to try this place due to bad reviews but glad i did . we checked in ( 30 minute to wait ) , but they text you when table is ready so you can shop . we sat upstairs . i ordered the regular cheeseburger in paradise . omg soo good .
this restaurant is good especially after watching a movie at marcus theater . it wasn ' t crowded when we went for dinner on a tuesday night . i order the aloha burger which had teriyaki sauce , grilled onions and pineapple salsa in it . i got to substitute the yellow cheese for swiss cheese . the burger was just fine , wasn ' t outstanding . the french fries were nice and crispy . i think the banzai burger at red robin tasted better for the same price . i don ' t think i would come again . at least the restaurant was clean and they had outside seating .
i gave them 4 stars because the food was great on a late saturday night when every other restaurant had a crazy wait . this restaurant is located in a awkward spot and the entrance is difficult to locate in the dark . my gps was going crazy . my nephews ordered the 1lb heaven on earth burgers and omg they were huge ! ! ! it was enough to feed a family of four . they got through most of the burger before they surrendered ! ! ! they both were delighted on how juicy and how much flavor a burger of that size had . i ordered the the all american burger and it was a good burger that definitely hit the spot after a football game .

located in the heart of lahaina town on bustling front street , cheeseburger in paradise is a two - story verandah - type café that hangs over the water . it ' s a lively , airy and casual place for breakfast , lunch or dinner , provided you have the time to wait in its infamously long lines . the menu is terse - - - burgers are the crux of what ' s offered here , along with a surprising selection of vegetarian burgers , chicken caesar , chili fries , onion rings and the requisite nutty cocktails . but it’s the waterfront views that make the wait worthwhile , despite the prices . live music from 4 : 30 p . m . until closing nightly .
say it with me . . . ah - lee - ee . our famous cheeseburger topped with a fried egg and crispy bacon ! named after hawaiian royalty , this one ' s fit for a king !
restaurant is along the this busy street so be prepared to wait . we were fortunate to get a table by a window . our table ordered the california burger and everyone like the combo of grilled pineapple . others ordered the shrimp burger . chopped shrimp formed into . . .

this used to be my favorite restaurant . however , it ' s gone continually downhill for years . my wife and i gave it one more chance tonight . never again . poor service , marginal food , issues with the bill . sad to see how far this place has fallen .
the idea of opening of a burger joint originated from gartner ' s desire to find a quality cheeseburger on maui . it wasn ' t until bayliff came home with a buffett tape that the pair found a perfect name .

the absolute worst . avoid at all costs . it is in fact cheeseburger in awfulness . we walk in and get ushered upstairs for seating . nearly slip due to how greasy the upstairs floor is . seat is sticky and table is coated with grease . the menus aren ' t any better . waitress seemed annoyed to be in this
paradise

description : cabbage key is a 100 acre island located five miles off of pine island , fl in the pine island sound . the inn , built in the 1940 ' s by the family of mary roberts rinehart , now houses our famous restaurant & dollar bill bar and 6 guest rooms . the rooms in the inn are all different with old florida charm - they do not have tvs , phones , or refrigerators . we have 8 cottages on the island , ranging from a 1 bedroom / 1 bath cottage to 3 bedroom / 3 bath waterfront units . all cottages have refrigerators , televisions ( no cable ) and coffee makers , some units have full kitchens . our restaurant is open seven days a week and serves breakfast , lunch & dinner . reservations are accepted for dinner only . our hours of operation for our restaurant are listed on our website within our
dining

brann said the company spent $ 3 million on the macomb location and had hoped to expand further in this side of the state , but was unable to turn a profit in recent years . the macomb location lost $ 79 , 000 in 2014 and $ 90 , 000 so far this year , brann said .
the atmosphere in this place is pretty erratic and loud as far as the colors . in a good way . it does remind you of a tropical vacation paradise . the bar is extremely large compared to most family restaurants . the bar stools are really comfy . the take out orders come from the bar . the tropical drinks have sunglass pins stuck in the fruits . they do beer buckets and have sangria ' s and margaritas and normally about 14 beers on tap . the mozzarella cheese sticks were really really good . the all american , black and blue , and good egg burgers were all delish . the staff was friendly and even the hostess that set us initially came back during our dinner to check to see if everything was okay with us . lots of photo apps especially when you first walk in they have the bright colored lounge wooden chairs in the lobby . parrots are everywhere and it gives you the feel of a tiki bar . the doors on the south side of the building are all garage door style and they open those during decent weather which creates a very nice breeze inside the restaurant . it just adds to the tropical atmosphere . the bathrooms were clean . the floor was kept clean . while we were there in the hour that we sat down for dinner we saw about 5 people come in for to - go orders , so if you ' re in one of the hotels that are close by this is a great option !
a great dinner option on the waterfront in the heart of lahaina . our group of three heard the live jimmy buffett - esque music echoing down the street and were drawn in . the restaurant has an upstairs and downstairs portion - i would aim for upstairs if there ' s room , better view of the ocean and the live music is there as well . the ceilings are completely decorated with license plates from various us states . i don ' t think there was a square inch of empty space to be had there , which i thought was pretty cool ( i ' ve always saved my used license plates as well ) . the drinks were pretty standard , i got a pina colada and my parents got a mai tai . as usual i find the pina coladas in hawaii to be too light on the rum , and this was no exception . disappointing , but not unexpected . of course , i had to have the eponymously named ' cheeseburger in paradise ' for my main course . it was far better for the drinks - large , juicy , and accompanied by great french fries . an american classic , made even better with the ambiance of the ocean . dinner can get busy , so i ' d try getting there before the dinner rush if possible or you may end up waiting a while . overall , a great little spot in lahaina , we will be back for sure !
in december 2012 , luby ' s purchased the chain , ending buffett ' s association with the restaurants .

branns steakhouse & grille on hall road in macomb township has closed for good , but its other locations in western michigan are doing well , according to a company co - owner . ray skowronek - the macomb daily
i was very disappointed with this place . i was out west at my mom ' s house and had a hankering for a nice , greasy cheeseburger and thought that with a name like ' cheeseburger in paradise , this place would surely have what i craved . i ordered the moonshiner burger with fries and it reminded me of something i would eat out of a cafeteria . it was so flavorless and fake tasting that i only ate half of it there and barely touched my fries . i feel bad for even supporting this place , i should have just gone to lazlo ' s , where it ' s local ( ish ) and the food is always fresh and flavorful . my sister who accompanied me on this disappointing experience felt the same way about her burger and we both felt really sick upon leaving . don ' t go here , go support your local restaurants and be better to yourself and eat some real food .

now , to tell you this place ain ' t sitting smack dab in the middle of a tourist trap would be a complete lie . between the vacationer and cruise crowd , it can get pretty busy down here on front street . but , because they have one of my favorite burgers on the menu , i have to visit whenever i ' m on the island . the location of the restaurant is pretty awesome with the open air seating and the beautiful view . it can get a little humid so it ' s best to keep cool with a cold bud or one of them lady drinks with the cute little umbrella in it . as i stated , i come here for a burger that i ' d never order on the mainland but always do when i come here : the cheeseburger island style made with a burger , kalua pork , pineapple , and hawaiian teriyaki sauce . you know the deal , when in rome . . . . . . . i love the taste with the combination of ingredients . don ' t know if it ' s the best burger around but it ' s alright by me . the restaurant has a good vibe with the music playing and the cool waitresses . haven ' t had a bad experience so it ' s worth the trip dealing with the throngs of tourists .
i wish we could give half stars . i thought the actual restaurant was pretty cool , but super tiny and in need of a good update . the views were really pretty and i loved how it was all semi open . i did not like being jammed packed in with tons of other people . our service was great . i liked my drink a lot . others in my party enjoyed the burgers . my kids loved the mac and cheese . i thought my fish tacos could use some work . they were tough and overcooked a little on the outside . i did find the portion size to be good and i would have liked another side option then just chips , but i didn ' t think to ask so i could have very well gotten something else . it ' s definitely an inexpensive place to come in maui , but i rather spend a little more for better food or just eat in my condo .
but that unglamorous experience taught them about hard work , how to turn a profit and how to survive in business .

so i walk in there ' s and there ' s three people at the bar . i set down and the bartenders on the other side of the bar i sat there for a few minutes and two guys came in and she came over and served them beers got them menus . the bartender then proceeds to check on a table and get their checks and bring them up and ring them up right in front of me at the cash register . i thought maybe she say something then . nope takes the change back over to the table comes back stops at the two guys on the other side of me asking if they want another beer ( one stool between me and them ) . turned around and walked across in front of me and proceeded to go back and check her phone . i should have known when there ' s only a dozen or so cars in the parking lot at 6 o ' clock in indy that this place was definitely hit and miss . needless to say i ' m heading out to the next restaurant and won ' t be back .
it ' s living on the edge . it ' s hard work . you hit every possible parameter of entrepreneurship when you do something like that ,
gartner said .
i don ' t think we really realized how that particular school of hard knocks was going to serve us well when we got into the restaurant business . we were geared for war .
heads up : from now on , other yelpers will be able to see how you voted . want to chime in ?

style , we rely on fans . . . so we know it can be rather hot on an august afternoon ! we are happy that you enjoyed your meal and we hope to see you again soon !
always a guaranteed stop on our trips to omaha . restaurant atmosphere is fun and casual . burgers are great , fries are great , chocolate nachos . . . omg ! my husband has celiac disease and the staff is very knowledgeable about food allergies and cross contamination . they have a dedicated gluten free prep area and he has never gotten sick after eating here . we will definitely be back : )
fun , tropical , and beachy atmosphere ! the food is pretty good , but nothing outstanding . it reminds me of a hawaiian version is applebee ' s & red robin mixed . we had good service , everyone was in a good mood ( probably because we were in hawaii ! ) . all in all , the food was alright , atmosphere good , and very kid friendly !

hubs and i have gone to maui several times and somehow always end up at least once at cheeseburger in paradise . the burgers are decent but you go for the views and live music , not so much for the food . our server , i believe his name was eric ( sorry if i got the name wrong - but hey , i ' m getting old and i was drinking mai tai ' s ) was super nice and efficient . i ' m posting his pic , so if the name is wrong , i ' m sorry . but he was super nice . we enjoyed talking to him very much . my one pet peeve , tables upstairs near the windows are so close it ' s like you are at a communal table and in this environment it doesn ' t work . super awkward . noooo privacy . i get they are trying to cram as many tourists in as possible but this is ridiculous . anyway , not a bad choice if you are on front street , looking for decent food , live music and views .
the fishers location , 9770 crosspoint blvd . , as well as locations in evansville and terre haute will soon be home to fuddruckers .
love coming to cip for mini burgers and queso . any time i ' m in the area we make sure to stop by .
best cheeseburgers and fries in town . great selection of burgers , fries , onion rings , and drinks . sometimes have live music , and the setting couldn’t be more perfect to enjoy as the sun goes down . memorable place to dine and enjoy while in maui .
milkshakes ( $ 5 . 25 ) are available in vanilla , strawberry , or chocolate and are creamy , thick , and sweet . although there are several tables in the dining area , the bar dominates , with a full selection of adult beverages on offer . whether that is a trump card in the burger game is anyone’s guess , but we’ve never met a vanilla milkshake that didn’t benefit from a shot of kahlua .

pecan wood smoked pork rib tips tossed in our bbq sauce . these are served with two scoops of rice and green onion to give them that island flair
i ' ve been coming here for 10 + years ! they recently changed their menu , but it ' s still wonderful ! the mai tais are great and only $ 8 . i had the cheeseburger with pork , pineapple , lettuce , tomato , onion , and teriyaki sauce and with a side of seasoned fries and it was still as wonderful as i remember .
we think they are the best cheeseburgers in hawaii , and here ' s why ! our 100 % fresh certified black angus beef half pound burger from harris ranch meats is abundantly flavorful , incredibly tender , and naturally juicy . served hot off the grill with thousand island dressing , lettuce , tomato , and onions , on our hawaii - baked salt & pepper buns . all cheeseburgers are cooked to medium .

not bad and not great . it ' s a neat place and the interior is fantastic . love the tropical beach look to it . the check - in desk is a hammock hung between two palm trees . the cip that was in bloomington is now a huhot and has been one for quite sometime . while here , we had a party of 14 people . i had the cheeseburger in paradise which is a burger on a housemade roll with pulled pork and onion straws with i think pepper jack cheese . i don ' t eat cheese , so i requested that to be left off . there was no mention of mushrooms on the menu , but i found a couple on the burger . i have a mushroom allergy , so this very much concerned me , but i think i caught them before i ate it . the fries were good . nice hot and salty . i also ordered a side of the gumbo . oh my gosh . that was incredible ! i loved it ! our cups went dry a couple times , but i think our group was larger than the server anticipated . she did fine considering . overall , it was good . i ' d go back . sadly , we boxed our leftovers and forgot them ! ! that was a lot of food we left behind . we will remember them next time !
decided to try this place out for dinner . the place was pretty dirty , fries and garbage on the floor . my chair had food items on it and i physically lifted the chair to show the hostess how dirty my chair was , she didn ' t say anything so i dusted it off with my hands . the food was average , ordered the cheeseburger but it wasn ' t anything special . i did enjoy my salad and that probably was the highlight of the experience . the waitress was responsive for checking twice and asking about drinks and the dessert , eventually the check . unruly kids were busy running around the place , one even ran into a chair next to me . i recommend if you want a quality cheeseburger , you find a local red robin or five guys .

took boat tour from south seas to cabbage key . the boat ride itself is worthwhile enough - you do get to see dolphins , which is interesting for kids and adults alike . the boat had a good guide as well , with some interesting stories about the local islands . for the drinking types , the boat has a pretty full bar , with reasonably priced drinks , considering you ' re on a tour boat . the inside of the boat has decent a / c as well - which is game changer in august . best kept secret - stay in the inside , with the a / c , and go out the back deck to see the dolphins when the guide spots them ( he ' ll announce it on the intercom ) . as for cabbage key - it was august , and a bit over the top hot and humid , so getting the kids to take a walk on the nature trail was out . other than that , the only thing to do is have lunch at the one restauarant on the island . the food was actually better than i would have expected , given zero competition , and near zero repeat customers ( pure tourist spot ) . the burgers were hefty enough , with decent cole slaw or potato salad side dish . and not over - the - top priced either - around $ 9 for the burger / side dish combo . for $ 12 , you can get a salad with mahi - mahi ( didn ' t try it , don ' t know if its any good ) . the only gripe - no a / c in the restaurant , only ceiling fans . but its understandable , given there ' s likely limited electricity on the island , and the restaurant is setup in an open / screened porch sort of way .

aerospace materials are materials , frequently metal alloys , that have either been developed for , or have come to prominence through , their use for aerospace purposes .

these uses often require exceptional performance , strength or heat resistance , even at the cost of considerable expense in their production or machining .

others are chosen for their long-term reliability in this safety-conscious field , particularly for their resistance to fatigue .

the field of materials engineering is an important one within aerospace engineering .

its practice is defined by the international standards bodies who maintain standards for the materials and processes involved .

engineers in this field may often have studied for degrees or post-graduate qualifications in it as a speciality .

aerospace coatings manufacturers continue to support the needs of their customers by developing ways to improve service , efficiency and reduce costs .
aerospace manufacturing is unique among other volume manufacturing sectors , and this is especially true of aerospace engine manufacturing . the engine is the most complex element of an aircraft , houses the most individual components , and ultimately determines fuel efficiency . the advent of lean - burn engines , with temperature potentials as high as 3 , 800°f ( 2 , 100°c ) , has helped drive demand for these new materials . considering that the melting point of current super alloys is around 3 , 360°f ( 1 , 850°c ) , the challenge becomes finding materials that will withstand hotter temperatures .
the mix of materials in aerospace will continue to change in coming years with composites , freshly machineable metals , and new metals increasingly occupying the space of traditional materials . the industry continues to march toward components of lighter weights , increased strengths , and greater heat and corrosion resistance . component counts will decrease in favor of stronger , near - net shapes , and design will continue its close collaboration with material characteristics . machine tools builders and cutting tool manufacturers will continue to develop tools to make currently unviable materials machineable , and even practical . and it’s all done in the name of reducing the cost of aerospace manufacture , improving fuel economy through efficiency and lightweighting , and making air travel a more cost - effective means of transportation .
