    Indoor dining

    What a cute fast food place! Plenty of table to sit inside. This place focuses on burgers and fries. You can choose from beef or chicken burgers and think or regular cut fries. The food was made to order and came out pretty quickly. The burgers are thin and served on a really good bun that was slightly sweet and not too "bready". I suggest getting a double patty if you are hungry. The fries can be ordered plain or with different toppings. The counter help was very friendly and patient while helping us navigate the menu on our first visit. We would return again and we recommend others to stop in if you are in the mood for a burger and fries.

    Sandwiched between two personal favorites of mine - Luigi's Meats and Mills Bakery - the pressure was on if BB were 'deserving' of their location and I'm happy to report... they are. The menu is hyper-focused... a patty (choice of veggie, beef, chicken), fries (a few options), and a handful of (soft) drinks. Those smashed patties? Legit. (Plenty of flavor all around, but it gets messy... keep the napkins close by.) Those (entirely too) salty and crispy and golden-hued potatoes? Seriously addictive. Incredibly friendly chap behind the counter (who was doing triple-duty... helping in the kitchen and cleaning up the tables as well). A small counter as well as a handful of tables to sit down (with some wild upcycled retro chairs and tables) as well as two arcade games (awesome!). This street/intersection can get pretty hectic - but you can usually snag a parking spot close by. With tip it was about $18 a person (for a damn decent amount of food). After three visits my fam are officially fans of Bun Buddies (even if that name is a bit kooky to say out loud, right?).

    Great place! Amazing Burger! Clean restaurant. Service was friendly and quick. Music was perfect! If you're looking for a really great burger, this is it! Fresh, Fresh, Fresh!!

    Special Buddy + Shoestring Buddy Fries

    I found this burger place on a Threads posting. We ordered their Special buddy combo and the classic buddy combo, and I liked the special burger better. I also got Shoestring fries and cole slaw, which I loved--nothing to complain about. Finding a GOOD burger is hard, and I think I found one. The hall was clean, and so was the restroom-- which was a plus. And the owner came out of the kitchen to ask how the burgers were. I could tell he cares about his burgers. We had a good lunch.

    First time here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Menu is limited but does over some variety with beef, chicken and veggie patties. Chose the chicken burger which was delicious and loaded with toppings - no skimping here! Fries were plentiful! Thin, skin on cut. Very good and they held up on the drive home and were still crispy and delicious. The store is simple layout and rustic look. Very similar to the previous business that was here. Overall very happy with my lunch!

    Another yummy burger spot in the area. There is a good amount of cleaning , restaurant is super clean, and the kitchen is sparkling as well (it's an open kitchen). When we got there we were greeted right away and given a walk through of everything on the menu. I love the small menu, quality over quantity. I got the special buddy. Cheddar cheese, tomato, iceberg lettuce, caramelized onions, homemade pickled relish and house secret sauce. Smash burger was seasoned, juicy , and not greasy. I really enjoyed the special sauce , tangy and sweet. The burger was a bit messy but overall I would get it again. I also love that they have shoestring fries (you don't see that often). They were super thin crispy but still soft on the inside !

    Burnt burger with cheddar and condiments

    This is the third time my husband and I have ordered from here. The first time the burgers were great, the second time they were so-so. This time it was horrible. At first I thought they forgot the burger and i got burnt cheddar on a bun with condiments. My husband then pointed out that was the burger patty. This food is not cheap, $28 and change for a burger, double burger with extra cheese and golden fries. We won't be ordering ftom them again.

    Very good smash burgers. The burgers were made fresh and full of flavor. It was nice to play street fighter and nba arcade while waiting for the food. Looking forward to going back!

    2 Double Special Buddy Burgers, Homemade Coleslaw, Golden Buddy Fries

    The owner is so kind and hospitable, and answered all the questions we had. The burger was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and flavors are well balanced. The fries were well salted and the homemade coleslaw was delicious, though I think the black pepper was quite strong. However, the owner did say that was the concept he was going for to compliment the cheese in the burger. The goal was definitely achieved, in my opinion. Ambiance matched what the restaurant is, a casual burger joint. The arcade games gave me a retro vibe, I thought that was cute. Would definitely recommend this place!! I even wanted to take a burger back home. Thank you for the delicious food!!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANY BURGER AFICIONADO .... If you want a really juicy and yummy burger, look no further. This burger joint was delicious as I ordered the Double Special Burger, which were juicy AF! Also, the shoe string fries are even worth coming back for alone, NO CAP..... These burgers HIT THE SPOT. Everything was hot n' fresh! The service here is excellent and attentive. Can not ask for more. The interior decor gives you the old-school burger joint vibe but with a modern touch. 5 STARS, Say Less.

    Special Buddy and Shoestring Buddy Fries
    Ethan H.

    I recently moved to the area and have been looking for some good restaurants to check out, especially burger places. Many times restaurants will say a burger is a "smash burger" when really it's just a regular burger. Bun buddies delivers! The patties were so thin that they crisped up and you get a really nice crunch on some bites. I got the single special buddy and the shoestring fries. The special sauce was really tasty! Fries are a bit expensive but they give you enough to justify it, it feels like a whole large potato. My only complaint was that with the single, the lettuce and tomato kind of overpower the burger at times, and it started to fall apart near the end, so I'd definitely recommend getting the double. Because the patties are so thin, you don't have to worry about a double being too large. Also, the food comes out super fresh. It was so hot I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down, which means that if you're delivering or picking up, it will probably still be great when you get home! The man who took my order (and who I assume from other reviews owns the place) always has such a warm smile on his face. You can really tell he enjoys it! Though my receipt had an order number on it, he didn't call it out and instead brought it straight to me. They've got some good seating and even a bar-like area where you can just watch them cook. A large party came in while I was eating and it was cool to watch them carry and flip 20 burgers at once! They've also got a few arcade machines if you need to keep a few kids entertained.

We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.

I already knew was about to be in for a treat! And the iconic hot dogs were out of this world! Each of their toppings are freshly made in-house. You can choose Sabrett or Thumann's and it's your call if you want them prepared in dirty water, grilled, or deep fried. Regardless of which ever dog you choose, you won't be disappointed! Aside from a cool old fashioned all-American glizzy, I also doubled my desire with a double smash burger. The freshly made sirloin patty melted right in my mouth! Between excellent food with really friendly service, I felt right at home. Angelo and Danielle definitely hit one right out of the ball park (again, no pun intended)! #hasbrouckheights #boulevardogsnmore #hotdog #thumanns #sabrett #deepfriedhotdog #baconmacandcheese #pulledporkhotdog #corndog #smashburger #doublesmashburg

I could see how parking might be tough during a busy lunchtime, but we lucked out. I ordered a BLVD Ripper (foot long Windmill Dog) with chili, cheese and kraut and one of the Thumann's deep fried with kraut chili and mustard. Also shared some tots with my lunchmates. The shop itself is nice and set up for both sit-down and take out. Guy behind the counter, who I assumed was the owner, was super friendly and seemed pretty enthusiastic about his place. My take...I thought the dogs were done perfectly and the chili and kraut were delicious. I would have preferred a little more cheese on the ripper as the flavor got buried. The hot dog buns were just ok...they didn't hold up to contain the toppings, which was a little disappointing. Tots were great. My two lunchmates gave a mixed review...one loved his two dogs and the other liked the dogs, but was just so-so in the toppings and the buns. You can't please everyone I guess. Overall I had a great lunch, but it's pretty far out of our way to become a regular lunch spot for us. That said, if in the area, I would definitely stop in again!

    A Ripper: otherwise known as a "Deep-Fried Hotdog". Three plain and simple words, but when…read morecombined, they are nearly pornographic. At least they are for me. Rutt's Hut has been on my punch list for a long time. Actually NJ fried Hot Dogs have been both from Rutt's and from Hiram's over in Ft. Lee. I got to Hiram's and today was my luck day to get a shot at a Ripper. Rutt's is a bit off the beaten path and is down a meandering pothole filled road in a very industrial feeling part of town surrounded by wooded areas. It seems like it would be a better place for a serial killer body dump than a Hot Dog vendor but it's been there since 1928 so it must be doing something right. There is a large, private, and free parking lot which is a huge bonus in my playbook. The building looks like it is in disrepair. There are 2 areas to eat here. A door to the left seems to be a pub/bar with sit down service and then there is the right side that I went to which is a stand up, indoor counter where you can get in and out very quickly. This is a cash only spot so come prepared. Get to an open counter worker, give them your order, and pay when they hand over the goods. I was a little intimidated when I walked in because it was clear that everyone else in the place understood the ordering routine and knew the menu (there are quite a few other items you could order other than Rippers). I stood in a corner like a potted plant for about 10 minutes and watched what others did when they walked in before I figured out the process. It's pretty simple but I did not want to screw up Rutt's world order by doing something stupid. The 3 Rippers I ordered were good (but not best in class for me). The one I liked the most was the chili cheese dressed Ripper because the chili was actually quite tasty. On the counter are large containers of brown mustard and almost-fluorescent yellow relish. People seem to love the stuff. It was a bit like sweetened sauerkraut for me and the color of it makes me think it is either radioactive or seasoned with antifreeze. I would be happy going here again but I can't say that my Rippers were anything special. I might ask for them to be a little overdone next time to add a bit of texture. What I did like about Rutt's was the history, the dilapidated building, the simplicity of the menu, the naming of their dogs as "Rippers", and the fact that it felt like I was eating among real NJ natives that knew exactly what they were there for. Experiencing local culture doesn't get much better than that.
