So my son recently moved to Vallejo so we decided to give Bud's burgers a try. Was rather disappointed that it would be a little bit better. Not sure how so many people say this place is so good. Very surprising. Bought the bacon cheeseburger combination, I thought the fries fell flat. They were not very good limp not very well cooked or prepared no salt. Hamburger, extremely mediocre on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 3. Not much flavor. When my hamburger first came out, there was no bacon on it. I had to bring it back up there, which I thought was odd . Truthfully, there's a lot better hamburgers out there. My son felt the same way neither of us really ate the fries. We threw them away. I will not be returning. read more

Classic!! This has been my favorite local burger spot. Even after moving out of Vallejo I find myslef always coming back. I get the same cheeseburger with grilled onions and fries. No special sauce just simple classic burger but soooo good and juicy. Now its also my kids favorite burger joint. Service is quick and fast,you can also call in your order. Plenty of parking. Couple of seating area,but we usually take home to go! read more

Really casual ambiance Walk in and order at the counter Service is fine Local spot with really good tasting burgers Ordered a bacon cheeseburger - can't go wrong! Regular fries come in a white paper cup - definitely enough for one person - since these fries are thicker I'd say it's probably the same amount of potato as a McDonald's medium size fry. Something to note* The burger comes with mayo raw onion Lettuce Tomato I've never been disappointed when I've come here! Will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food. It's a real good down home burger spot. Their french fries are really good. I think they stand out. I love it that they have 10 or more baskets staged for frying because they're fries are such a popular item. The burgers are cooked well the condiments are generous and the patties have a really good flavor and texture. The price is good for their combos. They have tons of different options available. read more

Pretty average, could be better. Was disappointed when I heard that this is the best burger place in Vallejo. The food was okay, you can see the kitchen from where you order your food and I am a little concerned about the cleanliness in there.. The restaurant and even the parking lot could use some work. read more

I haven't been here in decades so my son and I were working in Vallejo and met up for lunch. We both ordered the hamburger combo. The burger was good enough, not outstanding in any particular way. I did not like how the fries tasted. They tasted like oil, old oil. Service was great. I would come again and give it another try, minus the fries. read more

I'll start by saying that I would definitely come back here. Priced fairly well, big portions, and overall good classic old fashion food. Can't complain. The burger was juicy, the bun held everything together and the lettuce, tomato and raw onion made it fresh and crunchy. As much I loved it, there wasn't anything special other than the fact they keep it simple but do it right. I did enjoy how I was able to spend $15 dollars for a triple cheeseburger, fries and drink. My same meal at similar places would easily be over $20. As far as toppings go, it's your standard picnic toppings, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onions, bacon. It's hard to say if adding more toppings or a secret sauce would make this place better because what makes it good is how simple it is. Normally, I would eat my burger with whatever secret sauce the restaurant has. But here I felt like I didn't need it. Would it make the burger taste better? Absolutely. But I don't think it needs it. The fries, it's pretty cool seeing the basket of fries hanging on the wall. I think they double fry the fries, which gives it a really good crunch but soft and smooth inside. The fries could've used a little more salt, but that is just me. I would come back for the fries. Personally, I'm a fan. 10/10 would come back again. read more

Bumping my original score down to 3, sad but true. I ordered a double bacon cheese burger and large fries. It was all overwhelming dry, don't know why.... I had all the veggies and sauce on the burger. The cheese wasn't melted. The fries weren't hot and lacked salt. Sorry, but not really. I was thinking of giving them three stars but I was completely let down. There are better burgers in town. read more

Bud's Burgers - Front counter. What can I get you type service. Awesome! - Burgers Near Me - Vallejo, California

The meal was very cheap. The double giant burger with cheese meal comes with a fries and large drink for just $13.60. It's a very big meal for the price. The food was okay for me as it lacked flavor. The fries had no salt and tasted like old oil. The burger was a little plain and could use some more sauce. The service was very fast. I would definitely come back and try the burgers with my own sauces, but I would skip on the fries. read more

Bud's Burgers - Bacon cheeseburger with regular fries. - Burgers Near Me - Vallejo, California

One of my fav local spots to get a good old fashioned cheeseburger, a styrofoam cup full of crispy, golden, seasoned fries (I think it's because of years and years of oil being infused with seasonings hahaha), and a refillable cup of soda from a soda fountain dispenser. A no frills type of place, get in and get out. *Don't expect the best of customer service or even a smile! You've been forewarned. *The people at the front seem to not like requests for extras such as mayonnaise. You might be charged 10 cents per packet after 5 free ones. I wonder if it's like this for ketchup (?). read more

It's been so long since I've gotten a burger from the infamous Bud's Burgers! I was shocked by the long line that had people waiting outside around 11-12pm. The inside is the same and old-timey. I waited around 10-15 minutes for two giant cheeseburgers and family size fries. I remember being so addicted to the burgers here, but I honestly wasn't a fan of it. The price has also gone up and, not that it's crazy expensive, but comparing the quality and price to in-n-out.. I'd rather get in-n-out. I will say, the fries were fresh and they are generous with the family size. The burgers also tasted fresh, but I noticed their burger buns were off. I'm not sure if they changed it, but it wasn't the best. It was nice coming back here after not coming here for awhile, but I'm gonna have to pass. read more

Bud's was recommended from a friend who ranked it as one of his favorite spots in Vallejo. A Vallejoian who knows his food in these streets. LOL. A nostalgic experience that reminded me of all those mom-and-pop diners I once knew and are no longer standing amongst us. A great personal feeling! Fries in a cup, check. A burger with no frills, check. Done deal! Although it is aged with plenty of history behind it, their cooking area could be kept much cleaner. If you are grabbing flowers next door, Bud's would be the answer for them munchies. read more

Best burger and fries deal anywhere, really. Sure, they should put some salt on the burgers and fries, but the clientele really doesn't need more salt, and there are little salt packets, so self-salting is an option. They will, however, grill the onions if you ask. read more

My mom before she passed loved loved loved Bud's so Dad and I went there on her birthday as a nod to her. I love Bud's as well, you can pick the doneness of your burger, customize it to your liking and make it great! My go to is a double burger with cheese, extra mayo, raw and grilled onions, no mustard and add pickles! This is the type of burger that you can't set down once you start. It is messy and wonderful! Some of the local grocery stores have coupons for the Giant burger special on the back too so that is a bonus! 10/10 will be going back soon! read more

Bud's Burgers - The OG burger joint of Vallejo! - Burgers Near Me - Vallejo, California

It's been a LONG minute since the last time I've patroned Bud's Giant Burgers in Vallejo, CA. Coming back from the Haulers Expo in Santa Rosa, CA, we wanted something different but didn't know what, until Hubby mentioned Bud's Giant Burgers. It was over after that. We made our way to the V and walked in. Talk about a trip down memory lane, I haven't been here in decades, y'all and IT WAS STILL THE SAME .. Pepsi fountain drinks and the smell of good ole' beef cooking away with mountains of french fries. It wasn't busy at all when we order. We opted to sit in and eat at the table and it wasn't long before we were called and got down to the nitty gritty. I had a bacon cheeseburger and shared large fries with Hubs. He had a Giant Cheeseburger. Look - we didn't talk at all, matter of fact we were both making weird noises with our mouths every time we popped in a french fry or took a bite of our burger. Man, still the same decades later. All I'm saying is - If it ain't broke don't fix it. Prime example is Bud's Giant Burgers. Get there #nomnomnom #supportyourlocaldealer - Burger dealer that is. read more

Very yum yum, they give extra ketchup and is nice about it. Turnovers expensive. But burger worth money.

Amazing food, great service, unbeatable prices. If you want a good, giant burger with fries you need to come here! The staff is friendly and works really fast to get orders out. The place gives a clean, original burger joint vibe. If you want a good casual burger meal, this is the place. We got the mega burger combo. It's basically 2 patties on a french roll, we split this & it was more than enough. It comes with fries and a drink. The meat and veggies are good quality. Will definitely be coming back! read more

If you're ready to commit to a big back BURGER, this is a space to peep! Lol. I get why this place is a hometown landmark. Literally hearing the locals say "this is the best burger in town" as we waited for our food, was confirmed at first bite. Their patties were cooked at medium well so it's basically enjoying a freshly diner-y made, soft, juicy delicious, burger. Service was friendly & ambiance was exactly what a local mom & pop spot should be. Their fries are also so deep friedly fresh & have soft, crunch, greasy (again a commitment) texture. Add some salt & pepper & sauce... man. I'd come back to try their steak sandwich and apple turnover! read more

Bud's burgers and fries always hit the spot! We usually call our order in and within minutes it's ready for pick up. They flash fry the fries when we arrive so they're hot and crunchy instead of soggy. Of note, always shake your fries with salt & pepper in the bag before consuming...the only way to eat them! read more

Bud's Burgers, a Vallejo staple! This spot is truly a no frills burger joint with affordable prices. Super simple but tasty. I stopped by on Friday afternoon for a late lunch. There is about 5 or 6 tables to dine in but definitely more of a grab and go situation. Service was also straight to the point and quick. I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. I ordered a giant cheese burger, smalls fries and a drank for a total of $12.06. Super filling meal, I couldn't even finish the fries. You really can't beat these prices! Fries come with no salt, which I'm not the biggest fan of. I feel like the salt doesn't stick when I put it on after the fact. The fries themselves were fresh and a great crisp. The burger was juicy, a lil oily but great quality. Reminds me of a backyard bbq, homemade burger. A classic spot and a bang for your buck! Worth stopping by. read more

Buds is and always has been a mom and pop classic in Vallejo. The staff friendly, quick and simple burgers are delicious. Greasy spoon dive , but its awesome! Not many of these survived in a corporate expensive northern cal bay area world. Think of how corporate franchising ruined / made Nations burgers bland for example. Remember to order your fries a little extra crisp they do come out a little underdone here for my liking. Solid joint! Visited 4/22/24 thank you buds! read more

The best cheapest burgers in the bay I go every time I go to church. It's also pretty quick and busy every time I'm there so you know it's good. Reg burger joint ambiance. Also the best fries they're not super crispy which is the way that I like them. read more

Bud's is not the place to go if you want a fancy, fine dining experience, it's the place to go if you want that down home, greasy spoon diner experience. Bud's is great about consistency - you always know what to expect when you go there. What you will get - a good, greasy burger, french fries (don't expect fast food style fries - these are fries like your grandma made at home, in a cast iron skillet on the stove), and a full belly. read more

This is hands down the best burger in Vallejo! Love the vintage vibes. The burgers are always juicy and full of flavor, and the fries are fresh, crispy, and addicting. Service is excellent every time -- no surprise there's always a line. Totally worth the wait! read more

Did management change again?! We used to love eating Bud's Burgers, and looked forward to the visits there. Most of the time we'd order our food to go, and just heat up our meals in the toaster oven, with no big deal! Today is the last straw for eating there! The burgers looked like they were slapped together, with no taste whatsoever!! Are times so hard, that you're cutting back on mayo and mustard, or whatever was used to make the burgers so flavorful?! I used to look forward to driving home and sneaking a French fry here, fry there! You probably changed the cooking oil, because the freshly fried fries taste days old! Totally disgusting!! I paid $25 for both burger meals, but we can't even stomach eating them because they're so bad!! Fire the management who decided to change what shouldn't have changed!! I may be one voice, but you lost my and my husband's business forever!! F--king disappointed!! read more
