We went to this place while passing through Flagstaff, first thing I noticed is that the interior was absolutely beautiful. the menu looked promising but some of the pictures of food was AI generated lol. The food was very expensive as well, fifteen dollars for the avocado toast. We got our food and the bread just... wasn't good, tasted burnt.band there was a HAIR in our sandwich. The avocado toast sounded good but the avocado was basically guacamole and the toast was sourdough but tasted wrong. Not coming back anytime soon... read more

The updates here make the experience different. There are pros and cons to progress, but these are mainly pros for me. Restaurant is cleaner with a much better ordering system. Food has always been pretty consistently good, but you can tell there are also some changes in the back that are making the overall experience better. I had a sandwich I've never had previously, the fried chicken sandwich. Epic. Pickles are the nice thick and crunchy ones, not the cheap flimsy and flavorless. The chicken was high quality. The fries, which I've had hundreds of times, were better than previous. I prefer a fully cooked fry. This was hit or miss before, I've been served many soggy ones here. Bunhuggers is a Flagstaff staple, so I'm happy to see these changes for the better. We will definitely come more often now. read more

amazing food. fast service.calm nice atmosphere.eli was very nice would come again lots of parking

Me and my boyfriend went mainly for some appetizers which were so good I'm gonna order more 2day to bring home so darn yummy thank you Bun Huggers. Also drank 2 beers for me 2 soda's for him read more

First people in the restaurant. Was listed as opening at 10:30 on Yelp but they didn't actually open till 11 so sat around in parking lot for half an hour. Put in my order and 40 minutes later, asked why my burger wasn't ready and they said they hadn't turned on the grill when they opened and were waiting for it to get hot. Then she had the balls to correct me and said it had only been 36 minutes. Told me it would be probably another 10 minutes. No apology, just a look of who the hell do I think I am questioning why it takes 50 minutes to cook a hamburger. The meat on the burger was bone dry. The bun felt like it just came out of a refrigerator. The zucchini was overdone. Two hamburgers, two sides and two drinks cost me $54. I used to love this place when I went to college here but clearly they hired a bunch of lazy depressed clowns. There are five hamburger places within two blocks of this place. Go to any of them. It will taste better, cost half as much and no attitude. read more

Reminds me of the college burger joints of my youth, wooden booths with initials, hearts and "420" carved into them and the Who playing in the background... good times. Night i was there it was almost empty but it's easy to imagine it packed to the gills. The service was good, the burger and fries just as they should be in a place like this... delicious, handmade patties stringy slightly greasy fries... none of the regulars are likely old enough to worry about their arteries yet... Rather they are creating their own college memories, good food, good friends, some bad ones too... life. Eat here read more

I'm a FAN! Fresh meat grilled when you order! The ability to add your own toppings at a salad bar like setup. Great side options like fries, onion rings, etc. When people ask for the best burger in Flagstaff this is at the top of my list. Fun rustic decorations inside. read more

Anyone who has given this place a four star and below is a complete BULLSHITTER and is NOT a fan of the arts and I promise to prove you why! Bun Huggers is where it's AT! Delicious grilled meat on flavorful buns, YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG HERE. I lived in San Diego where people glorify In-and-Out as if it were their God, well here's my statement. Bun Huggers is WAY better than In-and-out and anyone who wants to argue that, they can kiss my ass! Here are 13 reasons why you should go to Bun Huggers 1. Masterful Meat Grilling 2. Charming Ambience 3. Crew is CUTTHROAT (GET YOUR MEAT AND GO!) 4. Chilled Toppings Bar! 5. The Accompanying Bar Lounge is TO DIE FOR. 6. CLEAN RESTROOMS 7. Welcoming Bartenders 8. STRONG drinks 9. BAR GAMES (POOL, DARTS, SHUFFLEBOARD) 10. Bringing your friends or family here is a life changing experience, it reminds you of what a genuine time feels like, to really slow down and enjoy the moment. It might be just be a bar but Bun Huggers has really taught me a lot about myself and what I really like. 11. Too many bars in Flagstaff try to be too flashy, O here's a sky deck, O here's a swing set, O here's a DJ Booth with a trash DJ. Bun Huggers never try's to be more than it really it is. It is a genuine bar filled with genuine people. 12. It makes you feel like you could eat and drink there forever because it's just a great time. Nobody is gonna ask questions, nobody is gonna judge you. 13. Bun Huggers is the #1 Bar in Flagstaff and if you care to debate me here is my number 858-837-4977 This is the spot for locals and it is a real gem, I do ask that if you visit this place you are respectful to all the patrons as they only want to enjoy their time in this special bar. I also advise you if you do plan on visiting this place MAKE SURE THE ACCOMPANYING BAR LOUNGE IS OPEN. Only when it's open can you get the FULL Bun Hugger experience. read more

Bun Huggers - A great time. - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Hadn't been here in quite a few years. My husband grew up Coming here after skiing trips. Went back tonight. I got the jam Brie burger and my husband got the fiesta. They were AMAZING. Juicy and flavorful. We both are kind of picky and kept saying how delicious the burgers were. French fries were also fresh and crispy. Mix ketchup with their malt vinegar there and you've got an amazing dipping sauce. We will for sure be back! read more

Walked up to the counter to order. Cashier told us it'd be a 30 min wait because it's family weekend so the restaurant was pretty packed. We said that's okay and ordered. 40ish minutes later we get out food. Keep in mind, while we were waiting, I was watching the teenagers cook our food. There was probably a group of four of them just chilling out doing nothing and only one person flipping patties and making fries. One of our burgers was made wrong, so we had to ask them to remake it. Every burger was as thin as my pinky finger. I couldn't believed I waited 40 mins for a burger as thin as an in-n-out patty. Also, the buns looked like they bought them from Safeway. I wouldn't be surprised. We also ordered fried zucchini, but they didn't tell us they were out of ranch... Also, every table was sticky and dirty with used plates and napkins. Like their busboy didn't do anything for a whole hour. So we had to clean our own table before sitting down to eat. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. Only rating one star because the burger was tasty, but still disappointing... read more

They do have a veggie burger! Don't worry, I won't base this review on their veggie burger, though. We took our visiting niece and her boyfriend here for a good burger post- ice skating adventure. For some reason it really took forever for our food to arrive compared to some of the other orders (this was around lunch time on a Saturday). I blamed it on the two veggie burgers, ha. I wasn't even sure there was a veggie burger when we arrived, or anything besides the grilled cheese and I was about to revert back to, "I'll get a drink and find something for myself later.. maybe chew on some fries..." but then I found it. I didn't see any other veg-options. One teen ordered the zucchini and it was delicious, the fries are also pretty perfect. You can dress up your burger with mayonnaise, ketchup, onions, relish, pickles, you name it at the toppings bars next to where you order. The two who ordered burgers were starving and loved their burgers. As for the veggie burger, it was a big on the dry side - alas the perfect satisfying juicy burger flavor is the hardest part to get for the craving-vegetarian palate. There's some good beer on hand - Fat Tire, Blue Moon, Sierra Nevada, but no local beers, ironically for a town with so many craft beers. A colleague who grew up here recommended this place for their burgers, it had been a fav. for years. Basically, it fulfills everything you need after a Flagstaff adventure, but I wanted to share my few notes. read more

Bun Huggers - The veggie burger. - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Custom char-grilled burgers on awesome buns. Great selection of sides. Really recommend the fried zuccs. Guy taking the orders was friendly and helpful. Order came out quickly. The wood booths are well loved. This is a great classic burger joint! read more

I was not impressed with Bun Huggers. We went there for dinner on a Saturday evening around 6:00 PM. It was not especially busy. However, It still took over 30 minutes to receive our food. My wife really liked her fried chicken sandwich. Not so much for me. I ordered a hamburger with tomato and grilled onions. What I received was a hamburger with bacon and tomato and the burger was way overcooked and very dry. Maybe they just had a bad night. read more

This is a great place to stop in at anytime of the day. I can only comment on the Lounge side and it has a chill atmosphere. The regulars at the bar come and go and it seems like a nice community and positive vibe (at least midday). The burgers and wings are quick and good. The beer is super cold and even came in a mini pitcher. The bartender takes your order and was helpful. read more

Great burgers! Worth checking out. Nice staff too. Cheese fries bring me back to my home state of Jersey, delicious. The kind with the gooey cheese, nothing fancy, perfect! read more

Paid $11 for a dry hamburger about 3/8 inch thick. Pepper jack cheese had no flavor. Homemade fries were also awful. I left it on table and walked out. Local people warned me not to go here. I believe the owners know the locals hate this place and are just trying to get the tourists. read more

Stopped by at 12:30 for a burger, hoping for the nostalgic Hawaiian that I have eaten here 20 times. Not open, despite having signage and online schedule that indicates that they ARE open. Zero explanation. It's not OK to not be open when you advertise that you will be. We went out of our way to come here. read more

Ate at the bar side today to watch a college game. Had the California burger, zucchini fries and sweet potato tots. Food was great!!! Service amazing! An added plus...live Football NFL bucket deal going on, 5 beers, 1lb wings and an appetizer for $30. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Friday night. 8 pm. Website says they're open until 1:00 am. False. Directly across from our hotel. They weren't open at 8:00 on a Friday night. Epic fail Bun Huggers. Lammmmmmee sauce. They claim to be a Lounge yet they close before the sun has set. Super disappointment. read more

Bun Huggers - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

The lounge has got to be one of the funniest bars I've been to in FOREVERRRRRR! We stopped in for a couple drinks the other night and got the best service! The beer was cold, the fireball was flowing, and the honey Dijon wings were AWESOME!!! This place is great!!! Check it out! read more

See all

This place was pretty cool! If I lived in Flagstaff, it would be my go to. The burger (I had the Fiesta) was outstanding and I couldn't stop munching in the fries! Friendly service and clean restroom made for a completely enjoyable visit. read more

Loved this local pub/burger joint. Firstly, you walk in and the wonderful smell of charbroiled burgers on the grill brought me back to a smorgasbord house that I went to as a kid. The bartender Ynez, welcomed us each time, made us feel at home, and took care of our party like we were locals. We'll be back!! read more

Tasteless Patty that was ok when piled with Kevin mustard n toppings. 4 this sliced bacon which is said it's a 9 dollar burger . To sun it up, the young guns grill the juice out of the burger and fry the same fries all damn day. No thanks, smells good outside, but the product sucks. Omw to chick filet.. Much better burgers elsewhere read more

Bun Huggers - Old refried fried then fried again fries - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

I always pass the place so I thought I'd try it. Dirty, dark and stuffy, need some fresh air in the place along with some elbow grease. Restroom was gross. Tables were all carved up with graffiti. Mushroom burger and fries were underwhelming. Really don't like going into a burger bar and the only condiments they have are in foil packets. read more

WOW!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE??? One of my favorite burger joints ever and it has completely gone south. It took three cooks to make my burger. They sat around talking while my burger burnt. WTF? The Habit is down the road. Go there. Wayyy too pricey. $11 for a burnt burger. Makes me sad. read more

Coming from the valley reminds me of chuckbox, loved the smell of the mesquite. The place was clean and seemed legit. The fixings bar was a good touch, but 15 bucks for 1/3lbs burger that made me think I got the smaller one by mistake. Walked out paying 25 bucks for a burger, fries and a hot dog that were mediocre. read more

If you advertise that you are open till 1am, then be open till 1am. I don't care if business is slow and you only had four customers, you advertise that you are open till 1 am! I arrived at 10:30 and was told that they were allowed to close at 10:00pm! Ummm no your hours are clearly advertised as 10:30am till 1:00am! Again lack of customers is not my problem, I've seen this happening way to often as of late with places closing early! It is not convenient for folks from out of town who have walked to your business because your hours say you're open! Sorry but that is just unacceptable to me! So sorry Bun Huggers but you get a low score for false advertising! read more

If you're traveling through town and find yourself at bun huggers, here is something you can look forward to. If you enjoy paying for an expensive meal where the food quality is poor. Then this is the place for you!! Whether you're in the mood for a hamburger or hotdog, don't get to excited. Not only were the hamburgers drier than the Sahara desert, the hotdogs were smaller than Mr Chows 3rd leg. If you know you know. By all means this place has a great Ambiance and great customer service! I think we can all agree we shouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg for the portions they give. DO BETTER BUN HUGGERS! read more

Over priced burger and this patty is way overcooked. McD's burger is probably better. Don't waste your time. Also I'm sure the Vienna sausage is bigger than the hotdog here $60 just for 3 peeps read more

..uf you an old bun hugger diner then you will understand. You cannot order tour burger the same old way.gota go to a counter now, menu has changed a little, no longer a condiment bar. My order was wring, shrooms were rubbery, burger was not as bug as they used to be read more

Delicious green chile burger and fries, with a great chargrill flavor. I grew up in NM, so I'm always on the lookout for a good green chile-anything, and this place hit the spot. Lowkey and chill inside, great place to hit up after a day on the slopes. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid on the Rez. Good food. Good service. I left with an aftertaste of nostalgia. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Will be back. read more

I feel guilty not giving Bun Huggers a stellar review. It's such a fixture, I fear expulsion from NAU and a ban from Flagstaff for not raving about it. I love the rustic feel and the sense of history you get when you sit down. This building is old, with endless initials carved into the wooden interior, as though everyone in this small town were so connected they could leave their mark in one place. Oh well, too bad it's far from unremarkable! What's good about this is that the burgers are grilled over charcoal, they didn't go cheap on the buns, and you've got plenty of toppings to build your own. I prefer blue cheese and onions, but maybe next time I'll go in-n-out style and put an entire salad with thousand island on it. Anyways, I'm just saying there are tons of do-it-yourself customization possibilities, so go nuts. BUT...while I do like my burgers to be done, these were almost burnt to a crisp. Also, they might say they're making their burgers by hand and whatnot, but I could tell these were store bought. They were too dry. Too perfectly round. A modest, 1/4 burger, fries (were were decent) and a fountain drink will set you back around $13. I'm thinking about all the burger combos I can get out there for that price range, and honestly this would fall at the bottom of that list. It's edible and it's cozy, but entirely mediocre. I think that if someone in the back were actually putting effort into the beef, I'd actually return. read more

Bun Huggers - Pretty basic - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Yum char grilled burgers, excellent fries, friendly staff...will definitely return to eat here again next time we're passing through Flagstaff! read more

Great place for large parties. We were in town with extended family camping. Took some time downtown and headed here for lunch. Lots of options for kids. Build your own burger is great to make sure everyone is happy. Fries are great. Hot dogs were great as well. Bun was the best. Staff was helpful with ordering. Defiantly recommend for anyone with a family or a large group. read more

If you're looking for greasy, bar food, this is it. My out of town family loves coming here- I think more for nostalgia than the quality of food (they grew up in Flagstaff and it used to be a hang out spot for them). They do have some mighty fine deep fried mushrooms though, and honestly, the burger, while not 5 stars, is pretty decent. They've got some bar games too which is a good time waster and cold beer, so not totally crossing this off any lists at this point. read more

Well this is a flagstaff landmark if you visit or live here you should be frequently eating here. The burger nothing special is what makes it special. cooked to perfection the quality of meat you can tell is top tier I wouldn't be surprised if they grounded themselves. So simply put it's one hellva hamburger. The French fries you would think there was someone in the back hand cutting them so good so fresh. Devine with chili is pretty good also. I would say please go and go often. read more

Bun Huggers - Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Ok first of all you need to know that I am biased. I went here when I was in school in the early '80s, so it is a nostalgia thing for me. I was driving through town looking at how much it changed, and saw "Bun Huggers". I always caused an accident swinging into the parking lot. This place has not changed since I was in school, in a good way. The food was as amazing as I remembered it and the interior was mostly like I remembered it, but not in a run-down sort of way. Back in the day, I couldn't go too often being a poor college student, but this time I got the mushroom burger and a side of fried mushrooms and zucchini (way too much food). The burger had that flame cooked flavor and the condiments were fresh. I loved this experience. read more

Back in 1979 this place sponsered our softball team. It was the best burger in town then. Here we are 40 years later and they still are the best burgers, fries, onion rings, mushrooms and zucchini you will probably find any were. Always a pleasure to hobble in these days - last Sunday was no different. I'm looking forward to our next trip to Flagstaff already. read more
