These burgers are absolutely SMASHING baby, yeah... channeling my inner Austin Powers... as I gobble down the Wenatchee Burger. But first, let's make like Marty McFly and go back in time. My bud says let's go meet up for burgers and brew. I'm like, "Sure, don't gotta ask me twice." And off we went. My mind was blown by all the things in such close proximity of each other... I mean like a parking lot closeness. We got some serious grub burgers, with a brewery next door to enjoy said tasty meat patties. With a distillery in the back/front, and a wine or tea bar on the other side. You don't have to go far to stumble or crawl. Ok... moving forward... back to Burger Buds! I had no idea this was the original truck or location. I live out in the Maple Valley area, and we frequent that burger buds often. However, every time I go, I always want to try a new burger. And the Wenatchee was calling my name. Something about crisp Washington apples and cheese just sounded good with some candied bacon. C'mon son! Not to mention their fries! We ordered our food, found a place to sit down inside the brewery, ordered some cider, and once the food was ready, we just sat and hung out and enjoyed conversation. This is a perfect location! So hats off to the owners of Burger Buds and Headworks Brewery for their joint adventure! Thank you for the experience and as always, enjoy and found a new Happy Place! read more

Buger Buds is a food truck that's typically parked right next to a brewery, offering plenty of seating for all. We visited for a weekday lunch and our order took about 5 minutes total. Proper Patty ($11) - This burger comes with two smash patties, both of which are heavily salted and somewhat crisped up - the pictures from other people make it seem like they cook long enough to get lacy caramelized edges, but it's not quite to that point. Instead, the burgers, while not moist and fatty, aren't dried out either, and give a great beefy flavor. The burger sauce adds some tangy sweetness, and some pickles on top adds even more sweetness, but a very fresh crunch. It's otherwise pretty standard with the lettuce and tomato. A solid smashburger. (4/5) Fries ($5) - These are fried enough to give a crust on the potatoes, but not enough for the fries to be come crisp. Still, they aren't floppy, so while not entirely crisp, these are still good for eating especially since the insides are nice and fluffy. They are salted a lot, which combined with the salty dip (we went with the Bud's Sauce), equals a parched mouth after eating. I think they actually use a lime salt or something as I can detect a bit of citrus flavor. The Bud's Sauce is a nice mayochup mixture with I think a bit of smokiness from paprika and some chopped onion. It's sweet, tangy, and salty. (4/5) Overall Burger Buds serves some nice classic smashburgers! It's great for a visit while in town for a quick and easy meal. read more

Burger buds slaps every time we go. We love coming here after hiking in Rainier. The fries with the garlic aioli are SO GOOD. One burger is enough for me and my boyfriend to split. Just found out there is a location much closer to us in Maple Valley and I am so excited about it! Seriously some of the best burgers I've ever had. read more

Loved it. Loved everything about it. Hubs had the Big Rig and raved. I had the Wenatchee and it was the perfect balance with the tart apple and Gorgonzola. Sit in the Brewery next door and have an ice cold Root Beer (or beer if that is your thing)... this will not disappoint. Cool vibe and excellent burgers! read more

Their burger portions are huge! They do not skimp out on their bugers. They are loaded with condiments and patties, you are never leaving on an empty stomach. Ordered the Chicken Sammy and wished I only ordered the burger and not fries with it. Dont get me wrong fries tasted phenomenal plus its a bonus that theyre fried in beef talow. Chicken wasnt crispy but it was overloaded in sauce. Fries werent crispy and were overly salted, but didnt taste soggy. Overall, I definitely recommend with a good beer right next door either at Pursuit Distilling Co. or at Headworks Brewing! read more

I LOVE SMASHBURGERS!! This was my first time trying out this burger truck. It was recommended to me by a good friend and I did not disappoint! I tried out the Proper patty, some French fry's, and the most scrumptious garlic aioli!! The proper was the most amazing combination of textures and flavors. You have crispy meatiness of the burger patty's, the creaminess of the sauces, crunch and flavor of the onion, pickle, and tomato, a nice creamy cheese, and a nicely toasted bun to pull it all together. Ugh I can still taste how amazing it was! The fry's were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. And what really was the ticket, that stinking garlic aioli! Oh. My. Goodness. I just.....idk it was one of those sauces that you could put on everything and be okay with it. Utterly perfect. The guys working the truck were all super sweet and helpful! Food came out fast and I enjoyed the interior of the brewery right next door. Altogether I'd say it's worth the drive. Will be there again soon! read more

Parked right outside of either choice of a wine shop, distillery or a brewery where you can have a really good smash burger. We sometimes come to Enumclaw for a road trip and find it the perfect combination to have a burger and red amber at the brewery. The sauce is a bit messy and I prefer to have my hamburgers dry without the sauce, but sometime squeeze some catsup it as I'm eating it. They have simple and really complex burgers, but I tend for the simple one with just 2 patties. I might get 3 patties next time. If you're looking for road trip + beer + burgers then come this way and you'll not be disappointed on all points. Then, take a walk around the downtown area for some shopping too. read more

I call many of my good friends my "Burger Buds", so I thought that it would only be appropriate for me to stop by this smashing food truck after a day of ripping up Crystal Mountain. The burgers look mountainous on the menu to display the inner workings of these meat creations, with layers upon layers of toppings. They are truly cooking up carnivore art in the truck, so I appreciate that. The textural contrast of the crispy edges and the soft bun takes these burgers over the top. And then once they throw on things like onion rings and bacon... they will stack up against any burgers out there. The fries here are top notch as well. Excellent crispiness, and fluffy on the inside. They also let you pick from a variety of sauces that they're mixing up. And since I'm a sauce boi, I gladly obliged. It was the garlic aioli for me today, and man that did not let me down. A phenomenal 2024 blend, I wanted to ask for the recipe. The truck is set up right outside of a brewery, creating a symbiotic relationship between the smash patties and brews. You could spend all day here watching football and eating burgers. Sounds like the perfect day to me. read more

I got the "Simple Smash". It was really good. The FRIES are very good! The brewery next to Buds has local brew.

Great food! Fast service. Consistent quality! Friendly staff. A go to that never disappoints!

Burger Buds is hands down the best burgers in town. Juicy, flavorful, cooked perfectly, and loaded with quality ingredients you can taste the care in every bite. This food truck is a must-get if you're anywhere nearby. Once you try it, you'll be craving it again the next day. Don't miss out! They also gave us a free burger on top of our order to try. It was amazing. The workers are so chill. read more

The Proper Patty was simply the perfect burger. Nice crispy edges on the patty and juicy inside. Perfect flavor. The fries were absolutely perfect too. Crispy and flavorful; I didn't even need sauce. Food came out quick and enjoyed inside the brewery adjacent. read more

I've been going to Burger Buds for over a year, usually 1-2 times a week, and they are CONSISTENT every single time. Customer service? Always on point. And the food... unreal. The Wenatchee burger -- apple chunks + candied bacon + blue cheese -- is straight-up next level. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. Their BBQ sauce and fries are amazing too -- and if you're feeling bold, the spicy fries hit even harder. Not trying to knock anyone, but Buckley, Auburn, Maple Valley, Sumner, Puyallup don't even come close. HANDS-DOWN the best burger around. Go try it -- you won't regret it. read more

Wow!!! Burger Buds is home to my new favorite burger!! Hands down the best burger I've ever had (and I've had many!) We were in the area and saw that this spot was nearby so we decided to stop here to grab a quick dinner last night. We ordered the simple smash and added bacon and grilled onions and the big rig. Everything about this smash burger was perfect, seriously a 1000/10. The flavor was incredible. The fries were also amazing! They're tossed in beef tallow and are nice and crispy. Love that you can choose a sauce for your fries too - we got ranch and garlic aioli which were both great. The staff were friendly! It was our first time here and the guy at the front was helpful and answered our questions. You order at the counter, they give you a buzzer, and you'll pick up your food once your buzzer goes off. We waited ~10ish minutes for our food. The food truck is parked right in front of the brewery so it's a great location! You can grab a beer next door and grab a table either inside or outside. I can't stress enough how amazing this burger was. I'm dreaming about it as we speak - we're already thinking about driving 45 minutes just to grab another burger from here! I wish there was a Burger Buds truck in the Seattle area - I'd definitely be a regular! Highly recommend this spot and can't wait to come back!! read more

We stopped by to give a try after a friend said how good the burgers are. We got the big rig, proper patty and 2 French fries. Tip...the garlic aioli for the fries. 5 !!! The big rig was good, but honestly almost too much burger (is that even a thing. ) The proper patty was delish! I'd order this one again. Very fresh, crispy wedges but just good!! The fries were cooked perfectly and did I mention the amazing garlic aioli? It was the perfect complement to the fries. We also got ranch which was also good but not as good as the garlic. If you're in the area and want a fantastic burger stop here. As a bonus they're right next to beadwork's for a beer! read more

Great experience here! The food is super good, love the fries especially! One of the workers, Tatum, was super friendly and took my order perfectly while also being fun and kind. Fast services and kind people! read more

Had a few beers at Headworks and arrived hungry knowing a food truck will be outside. Little did I know that after visiting over a hundred countries and tasting thousands of burgers I will find the best one in Enumclaw. Like Ray Croc in The Founder I just sat there stunned. As others said, the crispy edges give way to the soft middle. They also have my favorite burger which is two burgers. Can't go wrong here. read more

Very quick service! We had a beautiful view of mount rainier. The smash burger was delicious. Brewery right next door from where it was currently parked. read more

Burger Buds - The big rig burger - Burgers Near Me - Enumclaw, Washington

Delicious smash burger from a food cart next to a brewery making's of a genius location. Also explains why no beverages are on the menu. The service is kind and swift for a made to order burger being around 10-ish minutes wait during my experience. This is perfect for timing because gives you a chance to grab a brew/soda and get a table. Buzzer flashes then vibrates it's time for your smash burger with house sauce, bread n butter pickles giving it the best flavors with griddle sear and melted American cheese. read more

The place to go for good burgers in Enumclaw. We live in Maple Valley and drive down for a burger a couple times a month. The Pit Boss is my favorite but all the burgers are excellent. The fries are fried in beef tallow and are excellent. read more

Always good, always fresh. Nothing but the best. They even accommodated me when I asked for the Wenatchee In a salad form.

Absolutely the best burger I have ever had. The burger sauce and fry sauce needs to be bottled. We are from out of town and I will be getting another burger before I leave. read more

Ok, holy smokes. These guys make a very good smash burger, crispy edges, excellent. But the star of the show was the fries. Honest to God, they were the best fries I've ever had in my life. No hyperbole. I don't know how I'm supposed to go through life comparing all other fries to these and being constantly disappointed. I guess I'll just have to create reasons to drive to Enumclaw. read more

Gotta give Burger Buds a try, best burger I've had in awhile and you must try the garlic aioli and bud sauce!

What a great spot, in Enumclaw. The burgers are on point - assuming you like the smash burger style. Grab a few extra napkins as these burgers will make a mess! The chicken sandwich is also a great option, if you like the heat make it a "spicy". One drawback is no drinks or shakes. But bonus this food truck is in the parking lot of Headworks Brewing. So grab your food and get your beverage from the brewery ( it's both kid and dog friendly). Bottom line if you are looking for a good smash burger and willing to risk sauce on your shirt, give this place a try. read more

I've only tried the spicy chicken Sammy and the huge order of fries. The Sammy is very good, and the fries come with an array of dipping sauce choices. It did not take long before the food was ready. Having a pager to notify you when your order is ready was a nice touch, allowing us to wait at our table out of the sun. I imagine the dinner crowd is heavy but the lunch crowd was quite light. Dog friendly! read more

Best burgers around. The service and food is great. I usually grab lunch from Buds Burgers once a week.

They have the most excellent kind workers! Every time I come in, I am amazed how clean high energy and amazing everything is at this truck. I have been to the maple valley one a couple times and time after time I have been left speechless how the Enumclaw location is just hands down the best burger buds ever. I hope to come back for years to come and see this stand standing strong and serving 1000s of people! Keep going hard Buds! read more
