The idea about calling Sam's "Kona Burger" is f*##ing ridiculous! I'd rather they just burn it to the ground than further destroy this institution. Yeah, I'm bitter, I spent my youth going to Sam's for family dinners. The whole place is a part of my childhood family memories.
It may sound just too simple, but what they need to do is serve good, mid priced food that will bring the crowds. Making burgers a focus is fine, but also make available Hawaiian style fare and of course seafood. Quantity and quality with consistent friendly service. If they establish this reputation, the people will come.
Am I optimistic that the new owners will actually pull their head out? No. I hope they prove me wrong though(and there's that word "hope").
End of tirade.

Easy, Tiki Kaimuki:

Sam's is probably destined for the wrecking ball to make room for more condos - like those which encircle it now.

Anyone who wants to buy the place, take a financial risk, pay the staff and keep the doors open can't be all bad.
