    Cheeseburger and fries
    Natalie R.

    Nothing really crazy is just burgers and fries and shakes if you're in the mood. Prices are a little out there and while I know they are a single company dealing also with inflation the cost just wasn't worth it to us door subpar food. Burger was cooked well though and fries are well salted though portions are small. Overall I may come to try the other burgers or a shake but I'll likely just keep passing it on my way home.

    Fresh flat top burger & fat onions rings that stayed crispy for hours. I enjoyed the simple beefy bacon burger patty. Super friendly & fast service!

    If you haven't ever visited this place and you have lived in San Diego for a long time , you really should stop by for a bite to eat ! Beef n Bun has been here forever and their food is always good ! But their shakes are the BEST in town !! Clean location , friendly employees ... you can't go wrong here !

    No more fresh meat, this is frozen, even the bun tasted frozen and was cold.

    I worked here when I was 19, so over 30 years ago. I loved taking my kids here, because of the nostalgia, aquarium and who cares how much they charge because it was great food. They used fresh meat every morning, fresh buns and the yummiest crinkle cut fries. Today my family decided to go here for the first time in a while looking for a fresh burger. It took 10+ minutes to take our order, then 30 minutes to get our food brought out. When our food was finally brought out to us we were shocked to see frozen hamburger patties. Buns that look like they were a couple days old and the French fries look golden but were stale and cold. My husband's monster burger had badly wilted lettuce. His bun was actually cold, like they had defrosted it but not completely and we probably threw away all four French fries it was that bad. I tried putting ketchup on the fries and it was watery, no flavor and was it even ketchup? What a bummer to see something so nostalgic turn out worse than Burger King or McDonald's but cost the price of Black Angus.

    The hamburgers were delicious. Very old school. Shake was good but over priced for size. Service was friendly.

    Best burger around! One of the last great burger stands! Gotta get a shake- they are good. Wish they sold T- shirts. I'd love to get one.

Everything came out quickly without sacrificing quality, which we really appreciated. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Abdullah took great care of us from start to finish. He gave spot-on recommendations, made sure everything came out fresh, and kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed. He clearly knows the menu and genuinely cares about the experience. Highly recommend checking this place out--and definitely ask for Abdullah. He's your guy. We'll absolutely be back.

    Wow! One of the best burgers I've ever had. For a little food cart parked outside of a liquor…read morestore, this place is absolutely bomb! My husband and I have driven past many times and always felt curious. So finally we made a stop on our way home. Let me just say, it did not disappoint! The workers were very friendly and patient with us while we decided on what to order. Once we finished ordering, they actually let you play a game of chance to see if your meal is free! Roll the dice and if you get double fives it's on them. I did not win but I thought that was fun! I cannot stress this enough, the food was amazing! It's definitely a MUST try! Just be warned; cause like I said before this is a food cart in the parking lot of a liquor store. Nothing wrong with it but there isn't a lot of sit down options or anything like that. So if you're looking for a place to stay a while and sit to enjoy your meal. This place might have to wait for another day!

    this place is definitely on the pricey side... i remember my total came out to around $70 and i was…read morelowkey shocked, so i did the math again and somehow there was like an extra $20 added i didn't say anything about it, so that's on me, but yeah it caught me off guard the food did take a minute, but there was only one person working so i honestly didn't mind at all. i will say, the mac and cheese fried balls were really good, definitely worth trying at least once. it's also kind of easy to miss since it's just a small food vendor next to a liquor store, basically a little white trailer. overall not a bad experience, just a bit too pricey for me so i probably wouldn't come back.
