    Peanut Butter and Jelly Toast
    Audrey I.

    After a day of heavy drinking, I looked to Bunz for a carb-heavy meal that'd soak up the residual alcohol remaining in my system. While it did the job, Bunz is not the best sandwich restaurant by any stretch of the imagination. But, despite being incredibly decent, they're definitely reliable which comes in handy if you're looking for food in a pinch. My order was ready in just under 7 minutes which was 15 minutes faster than what SnackPass initially predicted. I never would've guessed that I'd be the person to pay money for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a meal I learned how to make as soon as I learned how to walk, but my laziness knows no bounds. Today, I ordered a PB and J melt on Texas toast. The sandwich was just okay. The toast was overtly saturated in butter, even taking on a yellow hue throughout. To my surprise, it wasn't that decadent. In fact, it was rather dry with the thick toast overpowering the sandwich's contents. Though this might just be user error, I also didn't like the fact that the sandwich was quite literally stuffed with jelly as the consistency was more jell-o-esque instead of a fruity spread. Perhaps if they used jam, I'd have a better eating experience. Overall, I did get what I paid for and the cost wasn't horribly expensive -- just 7 dollars. Perhaps I'll try one of their milkshakes or burgers next time, but I'll probably stick with Super Duper down the street.

    Turkey and Cheese Sandwich

    Ordered a Turkey and cheese sandwich here on Snackpass... not good at all. First of all, they took forever to make my food even though there were literally 2 other people there. The sandwich itself would've been fine if it weren't for the fact that it was drenched in cheap tasting American cheese? Like it literally tasted like they squeezed a can of Easy Cheese on it and warmed it up. Ruined the taste of the whole thing and got all over my hands too. At least it was pretty cheap for a fairly large sandwich, I guess.

    My stomach was growling like crazy and I was in the mood for some good ol' fashion American food. I came at around 11:30 pm and it was still busy. The restaurant's space was compact and could not fit any big groups, so the majority of the customers were waiting outside of the restaurant. When I walked in, I was amazed by the decor- a bright yellow background with doodles plastered all over the wall. I ordered the Pastrami Melt and a Banana Cream Dream. It was understandable that I had to wait for 15 minutes because there were so many orders ahead of me, but the real reason why I rated this place a two stars is mainly because of the food and prices. For $8.99, it was basically a thick bread with a thin layer of pastrami. Not only was it very minimal, but they didn't even put any caramelized onions like it stated in the menu. Order this if you only want a mouthful of bread. For the dessert, the Banana Cream Dream was the worst banana cream pie I have ever tasted. The crust is crumbly and was just tasteless. The filling tasted so artificial- like those banana candies you get at the mall. The slice I got was quite small too. Definitely not worth $3.99! Overall, not the best place to spend your money if you want food that's worth emptying your wallet.

    I think this spot is pretty new but I've heard some good reviews about it! I ordered a regular burger and my friends and I split fries and onion rings. The burger was overall pretty solid, just a good classic meal. I thought the fries were great, but the onion rings were definitely the best part. Would definitely come back again!

    Chicken Bacon Ranch
    Saahil S.

    Good quantity, fair priced, meh taste. This is the new place near Jaguar Karaoke on Durant. I ordered fries through UberEats and wasn't too enamored by them mostly because the flavor was all over the place. Stomach wasn't exactly feeling fantastic afterwards either. Definitely appreciated them filling up the box and the solid chicken:fry ratio but something about the quality was off. Probably not going to be my late-night go-to, but decent value meal if you're on a budget and desperate for something different.

    I can't even be mad that they didn't put lettuce and tomatoes my special request on my Philly sandwich because it was still bomb AF!! The Western burger I got was hella good too (see pics).

    Was here on Friday for the first time, as I was in that part of Berkeley for the first time since February and I had never heard of this establishment. I got there just before they opened and I was the only one in there. The menu is huge and I ended up getting the Pastrami fries and a Hot Link Steak (house sauce, cheddar cheese, BBQ beef hot link, steak, grilled onions lettuce and tomatoes). The food was outstanding and I will definitely be back there to try other items very soon.

    Hot Link Steak Philly Sandwich
    Eric J.

    If Top Dog and IB's had a baby, it would be the Bunz hot link philly cheesesteak. If you can't decide whether you want a hot dog or a Philly cheesesteak, Bunz offers boffum. It was pretty tasty at first, but by the second half I was getting pretty tired of the flavor. The hot links are juicy and spicy. Everything was pretty salty which makes you get tired of the flavor quickly. Also, they should change their name to Bunzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, because I almost fell asleep during the 30 min wait after I ordered. Idk why it took so long. There was only one order in front of us and they didn't even start cooking the beef until 15 min later. People in the kitchen were just standing around and sweeping the floors. I honestly thought they forgot our order, but how could they when we were the only ones waiting for our food at this point. The cheesesteak was okay, but it definitely wasn't worth the 30 minute wait. A lot of the food on their menu looks really good so I will be back to try more and hopefully give it a higher rating.

    We were in the neighborhood, hungry, and knew the area lacked abundant food offerings. We had seen…read morethe cute little Dojo Dog food truck (well, food trailer) before -- and this time gave it a try. Glad we did! Rebecca was running the truck with her husband, and they were warm, friendly, and hard-working. That same care reflected in the food. Comforting flavors, big portions, and just what we needed. ---- Food ---- The hot dogs here are big, delicious, and fantastic value for the price. Wushu Dog: Loved this one. Inventive and delicious. Great texture, topped with pork sung and crispy cabbage, plus katsu sauce and Japanese mayo. Savory, crunchy, and satisfying. Sumo Dog: Japanese curry beef chili with cheese and fresh scallions. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for that chilly evening. Fried Foods: We didn't try, any but they serve fries and potstickers too. The fries seemed to be a crowd favorite at Great Notion Brewery next door (which is partnered with Dojo Dog). Definitely getting them next time. Rebecca told me she enjoys experimenting with new dishes, and the creativity shows. Looking forward to trying more! ---- Drinks ---- We didn't but drinks as we were enjoying beer at Great Notion, but Dojo Dog also offer drinks like milk tea. ---- Bonus ---- As I mentioned, they partner with Great Notion, one of our FAVORITE bars in the Bay with the best smoothie beers and stouts. You can bring your Dojo Dog inside and pair it with their awesome beers. Inventive hot dogs + beer = awesome evening ---- Vibe ---- Cute little food truck, family-run charm, friendly service, and an endearing hole-in-the-wall feel. The whole setup feels local and community-driven. In fact, it was originally created by Berkeley students. Very cool. ---- Overall ---- Amazing hot dogs, great beer next door, friendly owners, inventive sides, and a fun, low-key vibe. It will hit the spot every time. Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu!

Tallboy's martini menu is well-executed. While I didn't personally try one of the slushies, a friend ordered the espresso martini version and gave it a solid thumbs-up. Unfortunately, the experience falls apart when it comes to food and service. Waiting 30+ minutes for two hot dogs (after paying) is hard to justify. When I checked in with a server, she was curt and dismissive. She was quick to explain there was only one person in the kitchen, with no effort to offer a solution, timeline, or even basic courtesy. I understand staffing issues happen. However, customer service is a close second to concept. How an issue is communicated and addressed is what separates good service from bad. What's more frustrating is that these aren't customer problems to absorb. If the kitchen is understaffed, if tables aren't being cleared in a timely manner at a seat-yourself spot, those are management problems. Guests should not have to choose to leave without the food we paid for. There's a lot of competition out there, and concepts alone aren't enough to bring people back. I genuinely wanted that hot dog. That's probably the most disappointing part of the whole experience. Great drinks, solid ambiance, but the service needs serious attention.
