Hot Bunz

The food was amazing and the service was great. Thank you for an amazing meal @HOT BUNZ

Food was really good! Really flavorful! Was skeptical at first because we ordered the double smash for 20$ thought it was double patty. Ended up being 2 full burgers. Great deal! We got the Mac n cheese which was so good!

Service was good. I wish they would do away with the gratuity option at the register before you get your food. A lot can happen from the time you pay to the time you get your food.

My son and I shared a single patty burger, add jalapeños. I was not aware there was a condiment section with free jalapeños! But let me say, the $0.50 they charged me for, afforded me fried nicely charred jalepenos. So I guess it's worth it. Otherwise, I'd not be happy.

My son also ordered a Mac and cheese. The portion is huge. It's like family size.

Note: the "meal" is only the burger plus fries. It does NOT include the soda!

Inside interior has nicely painted murals. For the most part, it's clean.

First off I just have to say I got food poisoning from this place :( But I'll leave an honest review anyway.

So first off, I ordered the classic smash meal and a drink. Drink was separate which kind of defeats the purpose of a meal in my opinion.

Fries: The fries were good! They came out hot and crispy just the way I like. They were well seasoned but not overly so. Sadly this was the only redeeming part of the meal.

Burger: The burger itself honestly didn't meet my expectations. The patties were way over salted to the point that it overpowered the other flavors of the burger.

The burger patties are flattened so it has that nice crispy savory edge. Very well seasoned. I don't like condiments so I ordered mine plain with jalapeño and onions and it still had a ton of flavor. The Oreo milk shake had big chunks of Oreos blended in and the ice cream was delicious!! Loved the set up. Service was great!!

Look at the mural inside. The other burger joints represented as villains in back and one fighter represented "in and out" burger. I thought that was really cool and the food definitely allows them to boast like that.

Holy smokes. This place is an absolute GEM in Elk Grove. Each order here comes with 2 sliders, but honestly, they're so big, that I'd think one order can feed two people for sure.

Food came out quickly when my friend and I were here. The smash burgers were so juicy, tender, and filled with so much umami. The jalapeno sliders were perfect as the spice from the jalapeno cut right through that fatty meat. Highly recommend getting the Jalapeno one.

The fries were great! Crispy and had a lot of crunch. Eat it with their house sauce and you are going to fall in love.

They do come with a pricy tag of around $20 per order, but if you're planning to share with a friend, its pretty worth it! Worth the try!

At first I was on the fence about getting a burger here because they aren't made with lettuce (I like lettuce on my burgers). But once I saw that can be added, I was convinced!
It was my first time here and I'm SOO GLAD it was Gaby who helped us order! She took her time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us to customize our order. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and customer focused. I would come back just because of the level of customer service from Gaby. She really went above and beyond. Since the weather was nice out, we sat outside and enjoyed their outside patio.

I'm sorry but, yes, they are better than (you know who).

It'll be hard to write this review without mentioning the competition by name, but I think we all know who Hot Bunz is out to copy.

Ever since I heard about Hot Bunz, I had been wanting to try them out.

Recently, I was able to try a jalapeño smash burger with frisky fries. I also grabbed some jalapeños and banana peppers on the side.

The fries were excellent. Super extra. Unlike the competition, they start with heavily seasoned fries, and then add cheese, grilled onions, and secret sauce on top of that.

The smash burger was fantastic. The meat was perfectly caramelized around the edges, and the potato bun was delicious.

My meal cost about $20, which is about twice as much as I would pay for a meal with the competition.

I definitely liked Hot Bunz better, but do I like them enough to pay twice as much? I'm not sure.

But this was a really good meal, and I can definitely see myself dining here again.

Conveniently located off the exit on HWY 99 Cosumnes Blvd exit in the Target plaza shopping center, you'll find this hype of a burger joint.

Simplicity of the menu of just burgers and fries with a few sides, shows how much attention to detail they'll have with so few options. The staff was sure to make every component of my order was made to perfection. The place itself was full of artwork designed with burgers and fries all around. Kudos to the artist!

The burger itself with deliciously sloppy, crispy smashed patties that was well seasoned topped with gooey melted cheese and their house made sauce. The fries were seasoned perfectly without a single plain fry in sight that your taste buds will appreciate you for. The sauce is addictive and you can tell, they even have a tub on the side for you to self serve!

I was not impressed with this place. Let me say, I'm not sure if it was just a bad day for the establishment but nothing tasted good and took a long time to order our food and over 25 minutes to get our food. The place looked like they had 2 employees only working who seemed to be very overwhelmed. The food was horrible, I ordered the jalenpeno mash, frisky fries and the Mac attack. All I could taste was burnt meat on my burger, the Mac attack had no flavor and the frisky fries were decent, but not for the price of everything. The only decent thing were the regular fries. The atmosphere was pretty cool with murals on every wall representing all other burger or fast food places. I tried it and would never come back. If smash burger are burnt tasting burgers then I'll
Pass.
