Da Tamalelei Seaside Grill

American Samoa


This humble seaside place dishes up gigantic serves of belt-busting grub for pocket change. Its burgers are legendary (even ravenous carnivores will battle to finish the two-patty, toppings-loaded 'Da Monster'), and it also cooks a variety of Asian and Samoan dishes; all meals come with rice, macaroni and vegetables. It does deliveries as far west as Pago Pago and Faga'alu.
