Teddy's Bigger Burgers is a fast-casual hamburger restaurant chain and franchise based in Hawaii that was established in 1998. The restaurants' decor is theme-based on the restaurant style of the 1950s in the United States.

Locations
The chain has eleven restaurants on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, one on Maui, six on the mainland of the United States (one in California, one in Iowa, one in Texas, and three in Washington), one in the Philippines, and two in Japan. The company plans on expanding to Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
History
Teddy's Bigger Burgers was founded by Ted Tsakiris and Rich Stula in 1998. The company's business plan was formulated during backyard barbecues, and Tsakiris' and Stula's wives contributed to the company plans. In 2004, the company experimented in creating an express style of restaurant in Downtown Honolulu that was open only during lunchtime. However, the express restaurant closed after a relatively short time due to problems in expense justification and in finding employees to work short hours.
Menu
Fare includes flame-broiled hamburgers, including some that are Hawaiian-themed; turkey, salmon, and veggie burgers; chicken sandwiches, fish and chips, chicken tenders, french fries, tater tots, milkshakes, and beverages. The company's hamburgers are prepared with ground chuck beef from steer using a proprietary grinding process. Burgers are served on a bun prepared from potato flour.
BYO Bowls
The company has launched a new restaurant this year called BYO Bowls. BYO stands for "build your own", whereby patrons create their own custom bowls of food, which is then cooked in the style of Mongolian barbecue.
