Burgers and fries very good. I also tried the fish sticks and fries. The fish sticks were more like nuggets but still tasty. Cookies and Creme shake- excellent. They have a small outdoor patio and of course a drive thru. It's a fun retro type diner read more

Came here after visiting the dunes. We got five burgers (Baldy Bob, Big Bun, cheeseburger, huckleberry blue cheese and huckleberry bacon blue cheese) and fries and onion rings. The meat for the burgers was great. They obviously use high quality beef. And all the fixin's were really good too. Already looking forward to our next visit. read more

If I can have a chocolate banana milk shake, I am sold! :) I love going to Big Bun but I admit I usually Door Dash it. Shameful because it's only a straight shot down Overland for me but the traffic drives me nuts! It is on a busy section of Overland but it's easy to get in and out of. I made the journey and realized that I have no reason to DoorDash anymore! I love their burgers and I really LOVE their French fries (so crispy and perfect every time) and Milkshakes! Chocolate banana for life, baby! The staff is always wonderful with huge smiles! read more

Big Bun has been around for a hot minute and I have yet to have a burger from this joint. Well, today's my lucky day! We stopped in for a quick lunch before we headed to Christmas activities. I love that they have huge photos of their food options at their drive thru and at the window. I'm a visual eater so food photos are the best! My husband got the Cafferty sandwich and I got a kids cheeseburger meal. It was nice to sit in the heated patio while our food was being prepared. As soon as it wa done they hollered our name over the intercom to let us know it was ready. My kid's burger was good! I asked for extra pickles and they gave me a good amount. The fries were fried golden. Crispy on the outside and nice and soft inside. The tater tots were nice and crunchy! I enjoyed them both with the fry sauce. I did unfortunately find hair in my food. As a hair stylist, finding hair can be gross but it doesn't gross me out as much compared to the next person. As my first outing there, this wasn't a good impression. Big Bun did buy the old Carl's Jr right down the road from me. It's been fun watching them make progress and change the old building. I am looking forward to having them in my area! Excited to see a local business grow and prosper in the valley. read more

Nothing fancy but decent burger join in Boise. Super busy at lunch time but service is relatively quick. Great values in burger and other fast food items (dogs, chicken, etc) Worth revisit when hungry for cheap burger read more

Went to Big Ben today. And I must say, the experience today was much better than the last time I was there. It was like a flashback to when I was in high school. Hitting big bun, at least once a week. Got the lunch special or the daily special which was a bacon cheeseburger.Got the french fries and of course, scotch and soda.The french fries were better than mcdonald's.By far crunchier, better tasting fresher, tasting and hot.I'm glad big bun, at least in my opinion has come back to who they were.And have been for the last forty years. If you want a great burger, great ice cream, you need to get to Big Bun as soon as possible. read more

We were told we needed to try steak fingers before leaving Boise and so we ended up trying them here, out of convenience. I can honestly say, while they weren't anything I would crave on a daily basis, they were still pretty good. Although, I kept asking myself why people would fry perfectly good steak. The real intriguing thing were all the different types of sauces that people dip these in. It ranged from special sauce to ketchup to jam. It made for an easy way to pick up an Idaho staple. read more

Thanks for Messing up our order after my kids last meet. The stupid left side lane can't grow up to 2020 and my kid has to pay. I even asked him if we had two burgers and a fry . He said yes. Got home. Wrong Burger and they didn't include my kids burger. Had the fries and someone's poppers. I get stuff happens.. but not even close. For how slow the are you'd think they could get orders write. Tried to call them twice to just them know they messed up our order and it may reflect on others. he said he couldn't hear me and to call back.., did and and it was the same thing . Over it read more

Big Bun Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Big Bun is a classic drive-in burger and shake restaurant with a history of serving up a range of homemade items, including original recipe finger steaks, fish and chips, corn dogs, and mozzarella sticks. Their menu also boasts over 55 milkshake flavors and six types of fresh fruit-squeezed daily lemonades. They pride themselves on their great customer service. Despite these offerings, my visit was quite underwhelming. The place itself is very spartan, with a rather mundane menu that left much to be desired. Touted as one of the best burger spots in Boise, I found it to be simply a run-of-the-mill burger joint. The highly praised burgers didn't stand out, and overall, the experience did not live up to the hype. I would still try it. You may think it is a hidden gem. For me it was just OK. read more

Extremely long wait at drive-thru. Said they would give me dipping sauce for tots. G as ve generous tip. Finally got order. No dipping sauce and tots were cold. Complained to manager who acted like she could care less. Never going back!​ read more

A guy named Ray was really nice and answered all of my questions about the menu plus was really energetic

Another FANTASTIC meal. Delicious burgs, crispy, hot fresh fries and the tastiest fry sauce in the Valley. Oh, and the best Cherry Chip shake you'll ever find. read more

Finally went after living here for 5 years and the burgers did not disappoint! We decided to sit in the outdoor tent, so ordered at the window and had food in hand within 5 minutes. I love the simplicity and focus in good ingredients at Big Bun, which is good meat and a great bun. This place reminds me of Whataburger which is a HUGE compliment in my eyes. Fries were ok, nothing to write home about but I'd argue this place has the best burger in town. Gotta love a local place that people have been going to for 50ish years (I think?). Give it a try if you're in the burger mood, have heard their finger steaks and shakes are to die for!! read more

I came here with my family. The wait wasn't too bad (about 5-10 minutes). I got the bacon cheeseburger and fries. It was so good! The cheese was perfectly melted and I like how they keep it simple on the toppings. The fry sauce and ketchup were great. I liked the bun for sure. It has sesame seeds but they weren't falling off like sand. The fries were great and you get a lot for a good size! (Medium) I tried the mozzarella sticks and they were good. A little bit too seasoned but overall 8/10. I will be coming here again. A little bummed how no bathroom was available but its all good. read more

As a Utah local, I always look forward to visiting Idaho--and stopping by Big Bun is a must! I ordered the #10 fish and chips basket, and it was absolutely delicious. Even though there was a small mix-up with my drink (they gave me a regular Coke instead of a Coke Zero), they quickly corrected it and let us keep both--great customer service! It was the busiest I've ever seen it, but the food was still on point. Their finger steaks are also a favorite of mine. Can't wait to come back next year! read more

Best food, friendly service. Great milkshakes, tasty fries going tonight and trying something different. We will let you know about it later. Also Great place to take the kid with the outdoor seating read more

After a great day of checking out a museum I had to have a butterscotch shake. My stepdad took me to this really cool drive-in place. It was cool and they had an 899 special for Thursday. That was a chicken sandwich at the spicy version and I had to get a side of tater tots. I found the service to be exceptionally nice, the shake was delicious and we didn't even have to wait more than five minutes to get our order something you don't find often these days. I found the food super delicious and I definitely coming back. I recommend the fries sauce. It must be an Idaho thing because I've never seen it before I came here and it's delicious. Every restaurant that has it. I find that stuff super addicting but perhaps to the staff and Crew the place was clean the service was quick and the food was the best I've had in a while. read more

Big Bun Drive In - Outdoor area - Burgers Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I purchased a couple of things this afternoon at the Boise Overland Rd location. I tried the Fish & Chip Basket with some Sweet Potato Fries on the side. I believe the cook wasn't paying attention & the drive thru food server wasn't paying attention to what they were doing, as they served up OVER COOKED fish and Sweet Potato Fries. This is a QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE folks. Take a look at the food you are assembling for your customers who drive out of their way to come to YOUR location for edible and correctly cooked food. Your peeps need to honestly ask themselves "Would I eat this or serve this to my mom?" If the answer is NO, then don't serve it to us or take our money for sub-par food!! Make us wait for new batch of fresh food being cooked, but please don't insult us by taking our money for what is described below. The 3 pieces of fish were overcooked and the coating was dark brown in places and hard to bite into. The Sweet Potato Fries were also overcooked. Don't you have timers on your fry vats so that you don't EVER overcook your food? If you don't, then you should!! I took a picture of the fish in the event management or the owner would like to reach out & see for themselves what I am talking about. I am rethinking my next visit to this business. Not sure if I will go there in the future. read more

If I could leave 1,000 stars I would. They went out of their way to let me know they ran out of buffalo sauce. This was a DoorDash order as well. They went above and beyond. Before I even saw the note, my burger was already gone. I will say though this chipotle mayo is so good, I dipped my fry's in it. Who ever is running this place, give a praise to your employees. Especially the ones who wrote me this note. Thank you. read more

Big Bun Drive In - Note - Burgers Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Looking for a quick and good meal Big Bun didn't come up short. The burgers and fries were great, and the service was awesome. There is actually a seating area that is covered and heated. With the name 'Drive In" I suspected it would be the classic drive in where you sat in your car. This was not the case, to my satisfaction. Overall, great experience. And they offer military discounts which is a plus. read more

We absolutely enjoy this place. We always get the onion rings and tattor tater tots. Only thing that is rough on is that it's pretty expensive! We'd love to get it mlre often but it is just a treat every now and then. read more

My 76 year old husband said the Huckleberry Bacon Bueu Cheeseburger was the best burger he's ever eaten!! The food & service were top notch!! Don't miss this awesome place!!!! read more

Worst ever. Not sure how it has been since you changed the oil, but the Tater Tots were not even eatable. The food at the new location is nothing like the original. Even the burger was cold. . Was looking forward to the new locations it was closer. read more

10/10!! If you're looking for that old school drive in, American Graffiti feeling, it is here!!!! This place has off the charts shakes, burgers and fries that transport you back to that old school roller skate drive in! No joke!! Finger steaks were good but a little heavy on the salt so I would recommend to at least try to see if you like them! Bacon burger was on point with a delicious bun!! Everything rocked my tastebuds!!! Employees were helpful and speedy to get everyone through in a timely manner and with a smile on their faces!!!! Way to go!!! Y'all have my vote and return business!!! read more

Used to be great. Tater tots are over cooked and like salty rocks. Big buns buns are dry and fall apart. No longer worth it. Way too expensive. We can go out for sushi and pay less than we do for 2 burger meals with a shake. read more

I am new to town so try not to have too many repeat spots just yet, but Big Bun is amazing. Can't help but come back. Burgers, fries, ice creams, shakes. Still want to try other menu items. read more

I just visited the second Big Bun location, the one on Glenwood, for the first time. I ordered only the Guac Burger...my fave. It was hot, tasty, fresh, and huge! Even though 3 cars were ahead of me, my wait time was short. The young man at the window was pleasant, polite, clean cut, and efficient. I do not eat fast food...except Big Bun! Yjis is THE best drive thru in all of Treasure Valley! Congratulations on your second location! Can your next one be out here (SW)? read more

Like many people that live in Boise I really have to watch my spending. On the sat. before mothers day I decided to deliver flowers to my moms grave and had to drive by Big Bun. I then decided that a scotch and soda would make this a little easier, getting in line I remembered I hadn't eaten yet so....When ordering I ordered 1 cherry scotch and soda and a fish meal. Way to expensive for me right now but it was too late to change things. Its finally my turn so I give the girl my card - it is almost $17.00 (I had also ordered a extra tarter sauce). She then hands me back a clipboard that is asking me for a tip! I put $0. I waited 20 - 25 minutes in the drive thru, 17.00 for 1 meal. What EXACTLY am I tipping for? So I got home and split the meal with my sister (whom I rent a room from) - 3 sm-med size fish and fries, I even split my soda with her, its her favorite too. The drink was terrible, no vanilla in it, the fish was so DRY I fed most of it to the dogs. My sister didn't like any of that meal. I'll go back to Big Bun but not until I can really afford the prices and not be bummed when the FOOD SUCKS. read more

Their food is always fresh. It tastes amazing. I've tried almost everything on the menu. My whole family enjoys their food. Their onion rings are probably the best I've found in southern Idaho. read more

Really good tasting burgers! The beef is fresh & the buns are big! They don't call it big bun for nothing! lol Everything that I have tried is yummy! If you're going to do fast food I would do it here! read more

Such awesome burgers, shakes and fries. Try to go every time that I am in Boise!! I wish they had inside dining but they do keep the heaters blasting in the covered outside area! read more

Food is always great, even when they are slammed. I grew up with the one on Overland, and have several faves, including the Big Bun, Finger Steaks, and the Tom burger when I want to put myself onto a food coma. The new location is doing great, no change in quality or service! I especially love local/independent Burger chains, and Boise is lucky to have as many as we do. read more

First time here visiting from Texas. I had the avacado burger, fries, and root beer. My fiance had the pastrami burger (#4) and fries with a sprite. We shared mozzarella sticks. The service was outstanding, environment was clean and welcoming, and food was ready quickly. Mozzarella sticks were delish, but left in the fryer too long and definitely somewhat burnt. We also had the chocolate shake and a butterscotch shake which were perfect. I would highly recommend and will return soon! read more

I have driven by this place a million times but only before a doctors appointment or after I've eaten already. I found them on my Doordash app and pounced on them like a puma. 1st choice was their bacon cheeseburger with pickles, onions and extra cheese. The bacon is made fresh so its always good and their buns are soft and toasted as well. The meat if you're into beef is real beef and always seasoned perfectly. 2nd choice was their phenomenal fries in a medium size order. Fried crispy and soft on the inside which always makes me happy. I tend do use ranch with my fries as well which pairs with the saltiness of the fries just right. Lastly, medium strawberry lemonade. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it! Fresh squeezed lemonade with a layer of sliced strawberries. I'm drinking that right now, to be fair! If you haven't been their in a while, come back! Of you've never had them, take a chance! Support local businesses! read more

We stopped here on the back from the airport: it was popular with a longer line but pretty good service (other than not putting in extra cocktail sauce after asking for it 3 times). The finger steaks were a unique taste with a mustardy/turmeric batter and cocktail sauce: a little chewy but good. The fries were heavily salted and somehow I ate them all. A nice unhealthy meal is a pleasant diversion at holiday times! read more

I had a great experience at Big Bun Drive-Thru. The staff were very polite, and my order came out fresh. The burgers are tasty... the ingredients taste fresh. Great buns. Big Bun is a convenient spot to grab a fresh, filling burger on the go without breaking the bank. A solid drive-thru burger place. read more

Just went thru the new store drive thru on Glenwood and after leaving with my food discovered that a 7.02 tip had been added to the charge without my authorization. Our two meals with drinks came to 36.00! Have eaten at the big bun for years and never had this happen. read more

Visited yesterday for dinner. I had the Cheeseburger but added pickles and onions. The standard comes with just lettuce and sauce. I ordered the small fries and small onion rings so I could try both. The small sizes are enough for one person, so don't over order unless you are sharing. Everything tasted good. What I think happens though is they are preparing the different parts of your meal at different times, like they drop the fries or onion rings, then they might sit there a while until they can catch up with burgers. Nothing I got was very hot, but still okay. Prices have gone up as it has everywhere, but still reasonable. The newly remodeled seating area is really nice and clean and could seat large families at most times. If in the area, definitely check it out. read more
