Bonus Burger was 3.25 stars for me. I am a harsh burger critic, so take this with a grain of salt.
While I did not order myself a shake, I might next time because when I tried one of my daughter's Oreo shakes I was impressed. Additionally they have really good cherry lime soda that had the best fizz. I appreciate extra fizzy sodas the older I get.
RATING BREAKDOWN
Food: 3.5 | Service: 3.5 | Ambiance: 3.5 | Price: 3
This newly opened (in April 2026) burger restaurant is located in a strip mall across from Del Norte Park in Hobbs, NM.
There was ample, free parking plus a drive-thru window on May 30, 2026. They currently accept phone orders.
My girls and I went inside because even though they should know what they want they always have annoying questions and take forever looking at menus. Lol.
The service was friendly and welcoming, however, they didn't know how to explain "Bonus Sauce", one guy did not sweep the floors properly, and we waited about 20 minutes for our takeout.
On to the food...
First off, my medium thickness patty could have been juicier. It was a bit dry, but the rest of the ingredients were noticeably fresh. Second, not a huge fan of their cheese. It doesn't melt properly. AI says it is "a combination of American cheese and cheddar." Yuck, yuck, yuck. No wonder I did not like it - I have a disdain for American cheese. Alas, the crinkle fries were actually really good. Supposedly made fresh too. If you like the sauce at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, you'll like the Bonus Sauce. The cup that the young lady at the register gave us to sample was used to dip our fries in - very yummy.
Pre-tax Prices:
- #3 AVOCADO BURGER COMBO W/Fries & Medium Cherry Lime = $13.99
- #3 AVOCADO BURGER COMBO W/Fries = $13.99
- Medium Oreo Milkshake= $5.49
- #1 BURGER COMBO W/Fries (add mustard, mayo, and ketchup, while keeping the bonus sauce... that's my kid LOL) = $11.99
- Small Oreo Milkshake = $4.49
As you can see, there is no price break whatsoever for substituting a shake with the soda in the combos. That's steep for takeout from a fast food restaurant for 3 people.
Lastly, the music did not match the vibes inside, but it was nice and cool on a hot day. I don't know what these kids were playing but it was one reason why I didn't want to eat inside. read more
