    Wenatchee
    Melanie B.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

The vibe is laid-back and welcoming. Every server we interacted with was smiling and genuinely friendly. It really added to the atmosphere. You can tell the staff enjoys working there, and that kind of energy is infectious. Now, the food: the burger was exactly what I crave when I think of a good, old-fashioned burger. Nothing over-complicated, just juicy, well-seasoned beef, melted cheese, and a toasted bun. It was cooked just right, with that perfect balance of savory and juicy. Simple, but executed beautifully. On the side? Two absolutely gigantic onion rings that were golden, crispy, and sweet. The batter had a light crunch without being greasy, and the onions inside were tender and flavorful. Basically onion ring perfection. The mozzarella sticks were another standout. Hot, gooey, and with a satisfying cheese pull that was honestly Instagram-worthy. Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside. Exactly how they should be. I wouldn't recommend the cocktails. They were trying too hard with a fancy mixology vibe that didn't quite land. But the beer? Cold, refreshing, and just right with the food and the atmosphere. Why go? If you're looking for a relaxed spot to hang out, enjoy a game, and eat some really solid comfort food, this place delivers. It's the kind of place you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

While the salmon BLT and grilled turkey sandwiches were fine, the bowl was not. The nuac Cham sauce had no fish sauce or taste and the peanut sauce did not taste like peanut sauce and was super thick. It was a bit weird with pickles at the bottom. Normally, the dish has jalapeño and the cucumbers are cut in strips v. Slices. The noodles seemed overcooked. The Portions are decent. We give the sandwiches 4 stars but the bowl is a 3 for taste. Everything else is good- service, average noise. Street parking but fairly easy to find a spot close by.

The poutine is what we started with, the fries were piping hot, the gravy was rich and delicious, and did I mention there was bacon jam in there? Since we had the poutine as an appetizer, we opted to get salads instead of the side fries for our burgers and sandwiches. I have to admit this is one of the most impressive side salads I've ever had. The greens were so fresh! On special they had their homemade clam chowder which checked all the boxes, it had a great balance of meat to potato to herb. I will be dreaming about this for the rest of my life. If you see it on special you need to get it. My group ordered the mushroom burger, the the bacon jamburger, and the French dip which we split three ways. And when I tell you we fought over keeping our own. I am not lying. The burgers were juicy, the toppings were generous and well balanced. The French dip had roast beef that just melted in your mouth. For the first time. I don't think I needed the au jus. One of my party ordered the truffle gnocchi with wild mushrooms. I don't know how, but it was somehow light, not too rich, and the gnocchi soft pillows had the perfect fluffy texture. We did have to take most of our food home because the portions were generous. And somehow the gnocchi reheated. Well. I'm going to call that a miracle. All in all, if you're anywhere near Enumclaw you need to go here. We made the trip from Puyallup because my dad could not stop raving about the poutine. Next time I'm in town. I will be back!

During our visit it was 'seat yourself' and a waitress came right over with menus and took our drink order. As it was early, we ordered coffee and water. Coffee is good and hot. Cream on table with salt, pepper, hot sauce and ketchup. Our beverages were brought over by another staff member, Paula, who told us our waitress would be right with us. Except she wasn't. After ten minutes I was worried. After 20 minutes I was getting concerned. Our waitress showed up shortly there after and we placed our order. Paula came around a few times refilling coffees, clearing tables and bringing checks. I wandered into their bakery area while waiting for our food, took photos, read the info there and then out to the historic bar area to check it out. You can order cakes and cheese cakes from their bakery as well as take a slice to-go, or enjoy a slice in house. Our waitress saw me there on her way into the kitchen and asked if I needed something. "No, just looking". OK then. We think our waitress was working both the kitchen and the dining room which is why she was often out of sight. So two staff in FOH with one of them helping BOH. That's a lot. She brought our food when ready plus a selectiin of jams for our english muffin. We asked for silverware which she promotly brought. The marionberry jam, a hybrid blackberry from Oregon, is excellent. The food is quite good. Corned beef hash is without a doubt made fresh. Big pieces of shredded beef with potatoes and lots of fresh spices. This hash has a zing to it. We both ordered the small portion of their corned beef so it came with one egg (instead of two) and we chose english muffin (instead of toast) and got half each (vs. a whole each). With a side of their potatoes, which were also good and plentiful, we had enough left overs for breakfast the next day. Which we also enjoyed. All told, we were in and out in one hour. Food was very good. We always had coffee. We thought our waitress was unfriendly, but she's just super busy. So five stars for holding down the dining rooms with two staff members and serving tasty, well prepared food. Paula processed our card payment. Forgot to check out the restrooms. I think they are in the last dining area (where a big business meeting of some company was going on at the time) behind the bar room.

Pita Burrito, Carne Asada ($16.27) - Huge burrito incoming, probably over 2 lb. I would say similar to Mission-sized, but the interior ingredients are not quite up to standard. Still, very impressive for the region. There's a large tortilla, warm and pliable, absolutely filled with tons of stuff. Firstly, a very good portion of beef, not seasoned much other than salt, but giving a great beefy flavor. The beef chunks are crisped up on the flat top perfectly, giving plenty of texture. This does dry out the meat, so there's a tradeoff, but that's what the cheese, guac and sour cream are for. Enough moisture is included so that, while not nearly as messy to eat as a typical Mission burrito, it's enough for each bite. There's a well balanced portion of rice and beans as well. The construction is pretty good so the burrito can be eaten in the hand without issues. (5/5) Is this the best burrito in the world, as some people seem to think? No way, but I think it's very solid for being in Washington and is one of the best I've had since moving to the state. Note: Pita's charges a little extra for credit card usage. I'm not sure how much percentage (it was 27 cents for us), and I don't recall them having a sign up stating they charge for credit cards.

The shop itself was pretty tiny with only a few outside spots that were covered with grass, next to a gas station.

I think they should update their brochures and pamphlets with the recent price changes because it seemed like all the prices went up. When we got the food, the food itself tasted pretty good. I especially liked the Carne Asada fries with the potatoes and the seasoning, with the two sauces, red and green that they give us for extra flavor. Service was attentive, they were all really sweet and nice. People came back-and-forth just to pick up the food, it seems like a local hotspot. If visiting Enumclaw again would probably visit again.
