Made a pit stop on the way home from camping and it was worth the small detour! This is not a sit down joint and fyi does not have a bathroom for the public to use. They do have a small parking lot and some benches around back but not ideal for colder weather. The menu is pretty extensive with many options of hot dogs, burgers and dessert. We got the Chicago dog, chili dog, patty melt and onion rings. The onion rings were the best! The breading did not fall off and stayed with each bite of the onion! Not to mention the crunch! The hot dog was also delicious! The way they dressed it was neat and you got a solid bite each time! The patty melt was juicy and the rye pairs so nicely!! The service was quick. It seemed like our small group of 6 may have overwhelmed them slightly with the amount of food we ordered but nonetheless did not take too long ! read more

TLDR: Old-school burger & dog stand with outdoor seating only. Food is delicious, prices are great, and it's a perfect stop on a sunny day. Expect a wait at peak hours, but worth it. Beef 'N Buns 'N Paradise is one of those hidden gems that feels like summer. This fast casual burger and hot dog stand is walk-up only, with outdoor seating and a handful of parking spots (which fill up quickly during peak times). You order at the window from a huge menu and wait for your name to be called over the loudspeaker. We tried a few of their hot dogs, the Chicago Dog and the Chili Nacho Cheese Dog and both were awesome. The dogs were snappy, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. We also grabbed the double patty melt, which was superlative. The patties were juicy, the rye bread was perfectly griddled, and the whole thing just hit. The onion rings deserve their own shoutout too, crispy, hand-breaded, and the perfect side item. And of course, we had to finish with dessert. We got vanilla soft serve cones with black cherry flavor burst on one and coffee on the other. Super tasty and the perfect ending. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size. It's exactly the kind of place you want to hit up on a sunny weekend or for a casual dinner after work. read more

It's fun to see my last review was in 2018 and this is the most consistent 5 star review I have to give. It is always 5 stars. It is a Frederick institution. I remember Frenise as the founder (I could be wrong) but I remember him fondly. I have been coming here since I was 15. I am 45 now and that means I have 30 years of good food, service and memories from this place. Today was amazing as well. I introduced my Wife to the place and our dog enjoyed a hot dog. I don't usually like sweet thinks, but I got a strawberry milkshake with my burger and it was amazing as always. They also have outside, dog friendly seating, which was great on this beautiful day. I can't say enough nice things about this place. I have loved it for so long. read more

I recently just moved to Frederick and wanted to try a place that wasn't a fast food chain. I found this place on yelp surprisingly. I ordered a cheeseburger and tuna sandwich from here and both were really good and nothing crazy. The menu is large so I will probably try other items. The lady who took my order was very nice and patient with it being my first time there. The building itself has no inside seating. There are benches outside but the day I went was cold so I got my food to go and there is a drive thru so you don't have to leave your car to pickup the food. I recommend eating here if you want try something outside of your normal fast food. read more

This place just feels like a family owned local hot spot in Frederick. Unpopular opinion but I actually enjoy the fries more than the burger itself. Not to say the burger is bad it's actually pretty good, but the fries are out of this world in my opinion. They have amazing shakes too. If you eat here make sure the weather is nice as all of the seating is outside. If you want a local town burger you can't go wrong here. Wish it was easier to order online since they're old school and you call to place a to go order. Otherwise great spot. read more

Beef N Buns N Paradise - Hamburger platter - American Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Stop by for a quick lunch. I got a cheeseburger, fries and a diet Coke. Not much service but that is expected from a drive-through and no frill approach restaurant. You order at the counter and there are benches outside. The food was prepared very quickly though. The cheeseburger was really good, juicy and perfectly cooked. The fries are rather standard, and I would deduct half a star for the price. But overall I enjoyed my lunch. The restaurant has a local burger joint feel to it and there does seem to be quite a few locals coming in and going when I was there. I would come back to try other things! read more

Burgers are good; made with fresh, local beef served on fresh, soft buns. I ordered the Hawaiian and it came with American cheese, good quality ham on top, and a couple of pineapple rings. It would have been better with provolone or Swiss, but I didn't specify. The pineapple milkshake was delicious and flavorful. I ordered a chocolate malt milkshake and could barely taste any malt, which was disappointing. The shake was very creamy and chocolatey, just not malty. String lights surround comfortable outdoor picnic tables for seating. A suggestion: please change the menu postings on the wall. It's on shiny paper, high up on the wall in a small font. I had a very difficult time seeing and reading it. read more

For the price: Punches above its weight! Fun atmosphere in the outside eating area, great for kids! Sandwiches were both excellent. Really good! Will be back to check out the burgers! read more

This is the place I go for a REAL dairy milkshake. It's near the fairgrounds. They have a bunch of fun flavors, like butterscotch, creamsicle, key lime, peach and Oreo cookie (and more), and maybe one day I'll try something new but I'm a mocha fan and if I don't get mocha, I get malted mocha which makes it a super thick shake, which is good as long as you're okay with malt flavor. I think everybody should try malted at least once. It's crazy how many ice cream choices are on the menu for such a little place. It's nice to stop by on a warm summer day and sit down outside at the picnic tables. Thanks Beef N Buns for being in the community! read more

The food is amazing. Desserts as well. The service was on point. The ambiance is a small spot with outside seating for spring and summer eats. read more

We love coming here. It's a nostalgic little spot with consistently good food. Seasonal milkshakes are the best.

A favorite of mine! Their serving sizes are massive! The ice cream and shakes are great! Friendly customer service, and on a nice day it feels good to sit outside :). It's an unassuming spot and it does give me a nostalgic feeling of some island themed fun parks I used to go to as a kid :). I highly recommend the black raspberry lemonade! They also take call ahead orders! If you get a chance, check out this awesome spot. read more

You could easily miss this place and think that it's an ice cream store, but it's NOT just an ice cream store. They served me one of the best burgers that I've ever had. My husband and I were driving by Frederick, MD and their location and reviews were a big draw. I ordered the Cajun blue and my husband got the rowdy burger platter. Both were delicious. The flavor combinations were very well done. When your order's ready they announce it over their intercom system and bring it to the back of the building where you pick it up. One reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there's not a lot of seating outside and no indoor seating from what I could see. read more

The burgers here are AMAZING. It's like 5 guys but like 1million times better. The only thing negative is that it is only outdoor seating and that the onion rings were a little oily. But overall this place SMACKS! read more

So I decided to bring my toddler her for a burger, for a burger joint I was disappointed that they dont offer kids burgers. So I ended up buying her an adult burger which was just cheese and a burger on a bun. We also got french fries. I got Cajun blue burger and an ice cream cone and all of that came to $32. In my mind, it was a little expensive for a meal between me and my toddler. Fries were pretty great but The onion must've been old because out of all of the condiments on the Cajun blue. I only tasted the onion not only while I was eating it but also for long after. Glad we tried it, probably won't be back. read more

Used to come here a lot and would suggest it to others but recently the owner and workers are so grumpy and completely rude. It's so sad to see a place you loved so much come to have such poor service. read more

Got some takeout from here the other night and it did not disappoint. Pretty good greasy diner like spot. From ordering at the restaurant to pickup, it took about 15 minutes. We got the pulled pork bbq, cape maye burger, shrimp salad sandwich, chili dog, sweet potato fries, onion rings, chocolate malt, and a coffee and cream soft serve. Lets start with the sides. The onion rings were nice and crispy with a little grease, but it wasn't overwhelming. Definitely some of the better ones that I have had. I would suggest them over the sweet potato fries, which I would have preferred to be a little more crisp. They were a little too greasy for my liking. The chocolate malt was pretty good, but just a little to sweet for my liking. The coffee and cream soft serve had a flavor like I've never tasted before. It was very heavy on the cream with hints of coffee. The pulled pork bbq was very good and I would definitely order it again. I added onions to it and it was a great sandwich, not overly sweet and a good balance of flavor. The kaiser roll held up nicely to the amount of pork on the sandwich, which was almost a half inch. What was also great was that the meat didn't fall out of the sandwich when eating it. For being a bbq sandwich, it wasn't messy at all! The cape maye burger was enough for two people to eat with the burger patty, crab cake, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce. They aren't lying on the menu when they say for hungry people only. Everything just works together in the burger even though it seems like a lot going on. Once again, the kaiser roll holds up to all of the contents! read more

Coming from out of town, I never eat anything that I can get in Ohio. I wanted hot dogs, so I headed to Beef N Buns Paradise. I ordered a Slaw Dog and asked them to put fries on top of the dog (in Ohio we call it a Polish Boy). It was so doggone good, thick hot dog. Both my friend and I said we will be back before we leave. Loved it. I highly recommend it read more

One of the few places you Can get soft serve in Frederick so it's a must for me in the summer also it has a very cool outdoor seating area to enjoy your food so I love bringing family from out out of town for a quick stop. I'd thought I'd give the food a try for a chance and was not disappointed everything came out quick and fresh. I ordered the Cape Maye and my girlfriend had the Shrimp Po Boy! Both fantastic and fairly priced. We got the combos... we were a tad disappointed with no free refills especially with how small our drinks were. If we would've known prior we would've ordered a bigger size. read more

In my humble opinion beef and buns has some of the best hamburgers and hotdogs in Frederick. It's a cute local spot. You cannot go wrong with one of their burgers and their chili dogs are 100/10. I have also had an ice cream float from there and I think their soft serve is much better than Rita's. The service is quick and their staff are really nice. A great summer spot to grab dinner and dessert. My only complaint is their hours are so limited! But hey I love that for their staff. read more

Tasty onion rings, friendly girls behind the counter, only outdoor seating but the tables outside are nice.

Little hole in the wall kinda place that is really just a walkup window. Pretty good food, tbh! Service with a smile...very family-owned business, I'd say. I had a regular cheeseburger and fries with nacho cheese on the side. All of this was great after a long camping weekend. The burger was tender and juicy, even well done. The veggie toppings were fresh and crunchy! From ordering to being called to the window to pickup was about 10 minutes. Not bad. There area bunch of seats outside on the property. It's cozy. My friend got a milkshake and a monstrous 1/2lb burger. He said both were good as well. Definitely a cool stop off point if you are traveling on I-70. read more

Beef N Buns N Paradise - 1/4 burger well done. Delicious. - American Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I've been here a few times. We usually get our food and eat at the tables outside. I'm not even sure they have inside dining. I never even thought about it. The food is really good. I've never been disappointed. The service is great. I guess you would say it's a island type of decor. It used to be called cheeseburgers in paradise and Jimmy Buffet took them to court and made them change the name. I think it's a great place to get some good food. read more

Yum! I generally have to be dragged out to eat. If I were local, I'd be huge! We decided on burgers and the usual chains were not appealing so we looked at yelp. This burger stand is the traditional type with take out and outdoor picnic tables. We both ordered burger platters. He always asks for well done fries and is usually very disappointed at what he receives. Not here. Not a single complaint! I opted for onion rings and was shocked at how good they were. They came with a cheese sauce that was spicy and very good. The burgers were cooked to order and the 4oz was more than I could handle even without the bun. I checked out the ice cream and thought I might reward myself after lunch. Unfortunately, there was no room in my belly. The slaw on the platter was also really good. lightly dressed and well seasoned. If you are a lightweight like me, I suggest splitting a platter with a friend. outstanding! read more

I've been coming to Beef Buns N Paradise for many many years. The quality and service has always been fantastic. When we have family coming out of town, this is always a go to. I haven't had anything I haven't enjoyed off their menu. The milkshakes are phenomenal! read more

Great local burger stand. Hamburgers are delicious washed down with a thick chocolate milkshake. Hmmm good.

One of my favorite ice cream in Frederick since 2016! We always stop by so often when we lived nearby. We always enjoyed seeing Vicki & she always remember our order. We stopped by a few times recently & enjoyed their ice cream & food. Their beach vibes decorations is very cool! Local owned ice cream. We like their friendly workers! read more

We have been going to Beef N Buns N Paradise for years and it has never disappointed! From their mouth watering burgers to their lusciously creamy shakes, this is the place to enjoy comfort food that's fits the bill. Our summer begins with a heaping pile of fries and burgers! It's not your typical eat-in place however offers plenty of picnic benches. The calypso-themed setting reminds one of hanging out at the beach. There is a play set for the kiddies too. Try some of their delicious sundaes and they have highlighted ice cream flavors to check out. Enjoy! read more

We drove to Frederick from Rockville to try BnBnP, after tons of recommendations from my work. Locals were raving about the food and ice cream. How the staff is friendly and how it has been a Frederick staple. We ordered the steak sandwich, ribeye steak and cheese, and the cape May burger. All of which exceeded expectations! The steak and cheese is hands down the best steak and cheese I have had in a long time. It takes me back to the first steak and cheese I ever had growing up as a child. For the steak and cheese- the flavors and proportion of everything is absolutely perfect. The cape May burger is amazing on its own. Coupled with the ham and crab cake give it an extra kick to make it a thought decision as a go to for me between that and the steak and cheese. Finally, the steak sandwich was also phenomenal. The flavor along with the onion ring was just prefect. Cooked to order, this sandwich would hit the spot for anyone in the mood for a good steak sandwich. Now to the ice cream... the southern sundae was on point as well. I'm more of a savory and not sweet person. I usually take a bite and give the rest of my dessert to my kids or buddies. However, I annihilated this sundae! An easy 5 stars and highly recommended to make the drive to Frederick from where ever you are! If you live in Frederick, you have a gem in your backyard. read more

It is never really quite spring or summer until you stop in at Beef N Buns N Paradise. It's like a little bit of Key West in Maryland, minus the six toed cats that run around the Hemingway House and way less Jimmy Buffet music.In fact this place used to be called "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" by the former owners until Jimmy Buffet caught wind of this and took a break from making awful music to sue the establishment. I guess he's not as laid back as everyone thinks he is. Gonna be honest here, the food here is simple. It's a walk up joint with hot dogs, sammies and hamburgers on the menu and lots of picnic tables by the parking lot. The place is decorated like a beach shack and our dog can chill with you on the patio. I am a big fan of the Cape May burger, basically a burger with topped 2 oz Crab Cakes, Ham, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and Tarter. It is a lot of food just in case you're hoping to save room for dessert. A simple hamburger has been pretty good here too. The burger tastes freshly grilled and it is not greasy. I appreciate that. A favorite hot dog of mine is the Hawg Dog - with Pulled Pork BBQ, Sweet Picked Onions, and cole slaw. The fries come out in big bucket size containers just like at the beach, but let me tell you the beer battered onion rings are the way to go. After you order, they call out your name and you collect your food at the side (walk up window). They even put the food neatly in a box to go. If you're dining outside, they'll come by to check on you. The staff is the friendliest ever.Patrons will be feeding your dog their burgers because they are friendly too. Now you'll probably want to get soft serve here to round out your whole meal in paradise experience. They do have soft serve of alternating flavors (love the banana), and a whole menu of over 25 milkshakes and different sundae ideas. While the food may not be the fanciest and you can't really see or smell salt air and waves from here, I love stopping by for a unique and sweet summertime date. read more

A five star rating from me is rare! I must have driven by this restaurant numerous times thinking it was just an older dive in Frederick MD. Boy, was I ever wrong! Looking at the actual building might scare you off but believe me if you can get yourself past a relatively rough exterior you won't be disappointed. For dinner my gentleman got the crab cake sandwich and the onion rings, he said that the sandwich was tasty and that their onion rings were probably some of the best he had ever had. Even I tried the onion rings and, they got a thumbs up from me. I got their Swiss and Mushroom burger and was EXCELLENT! We shared a chocolate malted which was superb! This ones definitely an "I shall return type place" and a place and I would recommend to anyone to try! read more

Beef N Buns N Paradise - Beef n Buns - American Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

We stopped here on our way home from a road trip. We were blown away by the burger or shakes. It seemed a pretty standard, not special, fast food place. The prices were very high considering the size of the burger (with no sides). I also didn't love that you had to pick up at their back door right by the smelly dumpster. This was a miss for us. read more

I have the beef, you have the buns, let's go to paradise. What to get: Chili Dog. What not to get: Anything else. Why: Um, it sucks. Well is it fast food: No, it's extraordinarily slow food. So I was in a big hurry, but all the Yelp hype led me to swing by this colourful imaginative place. The decor is 5-star, it's absolutely adorable with a ton of funny signs and hilarious comical elements to it. It looks like something on a Caribbean island, not in a smaller city in rural Maryland. It's easily the highest-rated place on Yelp in MD so I thought, there must be something to it. There isn't. The burger is absolutely awful. The ice cream is so horrendous I threw it out after 2 licks (like a certain ex). The shake was pretty bad. I got Black Raspberry. The coffee cone was pretty bad. Their system of ordering and then picking up at the side window after your name is called is bizarre, and doesn't really work. The woman who served me absolutely hated me. I have no idea why. It was partly because I wasn't familiar with their system. Maybe they don't like tourists? I wonder if it's because I don't look like them? Everyone here was white with big trucks in the parking lot with Trump stickers on them. No idea. The place plays Jamaican music all the time but isn't really anything but a fast food burger and dog shack with iffy products and funny signs. The worst part is the wait time. I waited... I am not kidding... for thirty minutes. I was in a huge hurry, and my food took 25 mins. I was told it was fast food. They told me it would be 10 minutes. I thought that was excessive. It was 25 minutes. There weren't that many people around. I don't get it. I really can't with them. Oh, did I mention their Chili Dog is actually really good, and by itself I'd give it a 4 star at least, and I appreciate the spicy kick. Frederick and I are now having a series of bad experiences in a row, and this was my first one. Beef N Buns N Perhapsnot. read more
