The yummiest smashburgers I've ever had!!! Most smashburgers are overpriced and lack flavor, so I don't usually eat them. HOWEVER!! Some friends and I decided to try this place out, and we were extremely impressed! The smashburger was juicy and sauce options paired well with the meat's flavor. On top of that, the owner was so sweet and attentive. PLUS the space was clean and well-decorated. Would come back and recommend again and again!!! read more

Good Buns - Good Buns Smash - Burgers Near Me - Buena Park, California

Great burgers! Possibly one of my top smash burger places. I love that the buns are substantial, however not over powering over the smash wagyu patty. We came on a Saturday around 11:30 and had no problem finding a seat/ordering. I got the single smash (without cheese - cause I'm lactose), but added grilled onions & jalapeños. My friend got the good buns smash with everything on it. The crispy cheese looked so good though! Both burgers came with 1 corn rib- which was amazing! We ordered a side of fries and split it ourselves. The fries were crispy with a great bite. Plus is that they have a water filter with self-service water. I can't wait to come back to try the chili. Service was nice and bathroom was very clean - great plus. Parking: shared lot with smaller spots read more

Hi it's me again eating some GoOod BuNs ;) this time I took it to go. I called in and placed my order and I was able to pick it up within 15 mins. Awesome customer service as always btw. Today I ordered my usual single smash w/ onion and jalapeno, another single smash with grilled onions, fries, an order of corn ribs and chili cheese fries. Brother, my total wasn't even over $40 for all of that. Honestly, for the quality, taste and preparation this place offers, this is such a steal. Anywayyy, I took my dinner on a ~25min ride, took another 20 mins to situate my food to eat and guess what...the fries were still so crispy! Not one soggy fry in sight. Even the fries in the chili fries were crispy! Tbh, at this point , whenever I have a cheat day and if I crave a burger, I'm going here from now on. read more

Good Buns - Single smash with jalapeno & grilled onions - Burgers Near Me - Buena Park, California

I crave a smash burger here and there, because it's not always easy to get, and haven't tried any that was amazing. Wasn't craving it at this time, but we wanted something quick and easy before going to Knott's Berry Farm, and stopped here. I wasn't too hungry, so I ordered a Single Smash and added grilled onions and mushrooms. It was delicious. It came with a little side of corn ribs, which was also good. I had to text my bf about it to make him jealous. Everyone else got the Double Smash, and they all really liked the food, too. read more

This was SUCH a yummy spot to find in Buena Park!!! First of all, service was notably good! The guy that took our order checked in on us multiple times and was so wonderful. The burgers absolutely hit the spot. They are cooked to perfection with that crispy cheese that is to die for!! I also really loved the chili fries. The chili had such a good flavor. And anyone knows that good chili fries are ALL about the chili. Love that you can end the meal with some soft serve as well. Great spot!! read more

This was a new place for us, but I can say us fatties have already been back twice.. This is a true smash burger It was delicious. Patty had a nice crisp and they had the cheese on the grill too which added another crispy element to it. Decent sized burger. First time I just got a single with bacon and grilled onions. It was good but wasn't wow yet. LOVED the corn ribs, it's a little on the saltier side but the flavors made it not matter to me. My boyfriend got the good bun smash and loved it. Second time we came back, I got the good bun smash. Holy cow, def 10/10 recommend this. The environment is clean. Self serve, but the owner comes around and asks you how is everything a few times. I think he just really cares but it's also a (seems) new restaurant. Cute hole in the wall. The food is a little greasy but doesn't taste like it. This fatty ain't complaining because she finished it all.. Def coming back again! read more

Wagyu burger anyone? Weather you're an OC local or visiting Buena Park for one of the theme parks (Knotts Berry Farm just down the street) a pit stop at Good Buns is a worthwhile meal that packs huge flavor but doesn't take a huge bite out of your wallet. Drive into the plaza and parking is pretty easy. Each of my visits, typically between 4 and 7pm, parking has pretty much been available. Enter the glass doors and order at the counter. The cashier wasn't much for conversation, so rather than ask for his recommendations, the family and I rolled the dice. Menu is pretty small so it makes things simple. If you're looking for classic, backyard style lettuce and tomato type of burger, keep it moving, you won't find that at Good Buns. Savory and hearty, these burgers are built for you to enjoy life at the moment and apologize to your arteries later. Find yourself seating. Water is self serve, and you'll need to bus your tray once you're done. Mission accomplished. Now go get a gym membership, workout more, so you can come back often read more

I've dined here a couple of times already, and it's been solid every time. The menu offering is small, with four burger options and a few add-ons depending on what you like. Also, a few sides and ice cream. The prices are reasonable and affordable. On my first visit, I ordered the Good Buns Smash (their signature burger), and it was massive. The crispy cheese was overflowing, and I barely finished the double-patty wagyu burger with fries. On my second visit, the wagyu burgers were calling my name. I got the single smash and added grilled onions. The melty and crispy edges of the cheese added a lot of flavor. It satisfied the burger cravings again. They also include a small Cajun corn rib with the burgers. A nice touch since I love corn. I also like the fries here; they come out hot and with a crispy coating. They also provide a small container of ranch, and you can grab some ketchup at the counter. For drinks, they offer a variety of canned and bottled options in the fridge next to the cashier. Since they have ice cream, maybe they can offer shakes in the future. Their main offering is wagyu beef in their smash burgers. Could I tell the difference from other quality ground beef? The patties had good flavor and seemed to have a higher fat ratio than the "regular" burger patties I've had. They are also well-seasoned, too. Overall, the burgers tasted great, and I'm a fan. The dining area is clean and spacious, and the staff have been kind and attentive. Checking in once in a while. There's a private parking lot for the group of businesses here. It can get packed during busy dining times. read more

Delicious smash burgers, not for the faint of heart! Definitely a guilty pleasure to be enjoyed on occasion. The grilled corn was scrumptious and piping hot. The Single was more than enough for me, but the Good Buns was surprisingly tasty - the jalapenos added a nice bite (not overly spicy). Service was super friendly and very fast. The facility was clean and there's plenty of parking. read more

Fantastic smash burger spot in Buena Park! It's a fresh, clean place serving a menu focused on burgers and ice cream - that's how you know it's good. I really hope more Yelpers give this place a try. There weren't many customers when I went, and I think they deserve more business. I got the single smash burger and it was out of this world. The flavor, cheesiness, and tangy mustard sauce pulled everything together. I felt like it didn't need add-ons. For example, I tried the chili and thought it didn't really elevate the experience. Each burger came with a corn rib, and it was delicious too. Lastly, I also had their side of fries (portion is single serving), but the quality was amazing - crispy, thick, and textured. Best part about it all is that the price was affordable. The service was great! The food came out quick and we were asked 1-2x if we needed any additional things. Water and utensils is self-serve. The ambiance inside looked new and clean. The restroom was surprisingly impressive. Overall, this is a solid burger place. I'll definitely come back if I'm ever craving a smash burger. read more

Found this place via Yelp (thanks, Yelpers!). It's a small, clean restaurant with a simple menu. We got two Single Smash burgers and one Good Buns Smash. All were delicious - the buns were great, the burger patty flavorful, and we enjoyed the smashed cheese with crispy edges. The little riblet of seasoned corn was also great! 5/5. We loved the food, the service was good, and the restaurant was clean and played good music (noted by my kid). We'll definitely be back! Suggestions for menu adds: Cheesy fries (cheese sauce), milkshakes, fried zucchini and fountain drinks read more

The ambiance was very welcoming and the restaurant had some cool decor of cars. I was greeted right away and asked if It was my first time, and the gentlemen at time right away assisted me by explaining the menu, which I always appreciate. Honestly forgot the name of what I ordered but it was double smash burger with some jalapeños and really nice grilled cheese crust! I also paired it with the chili fires and Diet Coke haha. Overall it was my first time having a smash burger in general and good buns didn't disappoint. Define left a really great first time impression! So at this point this my standard of good smash burger. 8.5 out 10 experience for me. I'll would come back and recommend this place to my friends and family. Thank you! read more

I have been obsess about smashed burgers lately and when my lunch date said it was my choice, I consulted Yelp! Good buns intrigued me with their wagyu patties. I'll bite...literally! :) They've been open 1 month and are tucked in the plaza behind the giant Chase bank caddy corner from Knotts. The two parking lots do not connect unfortunately so know it's a sharp right if you're coming from the Buena Park mall side; east. I got the $5.95 single smash with $0.50 extra grilled onions and the $6.50 gravy fries. My friend got the $8.95 chili smash (single smash with chili). The crispy lacy cheese around the patty was insane. The juiciness of the wagyu patty, soft bite into the brioche bun, light handed sauce, and melted cheese was the perfect first bite. While chewing on said bite, I was already thinking of when I'd be back again. Fries were crisp and the gravy was savory and hot. I got them thinking of poutine and albeit there were no curds, it was hitting that craving. Owner was very polite, establishment was spotless, music was upbeat, and the food was amazing. Couldn't have asked for anything more...other than foot traffic(?) I will be absolutely heartbroken if they do not become a permanent fixture in the plaza. Highly recommend if you're in the area looking for a top quality burger spot for a very reasonable cost. 6 stars if I could! read more

I love a good burger, so of course I would be excited to find this place! Good Buns is small but mighty, tucked into a small strip within walking distance of Knott's Berry Farm. They have a very short and simple menu, but what they do is done so well! First of all, service is SUPER friendly. The man who took my order was so nice, so helpful, and he made a recommendation that I really enjoyed. Inside is clean, plenty of seating, and they have some cute cactus decorations. There is a restroom hidden way in the back, almost easy to miss! I ordered the single smash burger, with grilled onions and pickles added. I also ordered a side of fries. Food was cooked fresh to order, and the fries were hot and crispy! Fries are the crispy "battered" style, and were delicious dipped in ranch. My order came with a surprise little corn rib, which was hot, delicious, and we'll seasoned. They have these on the menu as a side as well, so this is like a little preview. Grab an order to share! Or....not. They might be too delicious to share. The burger was the star of the show, of course! The bun was warm and soft. The patty was nice and thin, topped with a thin crispy melted cheese layer. Pickles taste housemade, and the onions were a great addition. This also comes with a special sauce, which is different than others I have had. This one is made with a grainy/seedy mustard. I'll be honest, I'm not very adventurous with mustard. But this sauce worked well on the burger! When I received my order, the man at the counter offered me a side of ranch and recommended to put a little bit on the burger. A great recommendation, as it was delicious! I mostly enjoyed dipping my fries in the ranch. Everything was so delicious and staff were so friendly. Prices are also very reasonable, at almost $6 for the burger. I can't wait to return with my family! read more

Good Buns seems like a new spot. Gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. The Good Buns Smash (double wagyu patties with bacon) was well seasoned and easily one of the better smash burgers I've had. Only minor preference would be having jalapeños and pickles on the side. The gravy fries were super crispy--seemed double fried--and basically poutine vibes. Everything we ordered was tasty. Clean spot with an open kitchen, friendly service, modern POS (cards accepted), and easy parking. Would definitely come back when the smash burger craving hits. read more

New and relatively affordable burger spot with a modern look and tons of seating. Chill music and good vibes. Definitely a solid place to meet up with friends. The staff and owner were super organized and friendly. There's a restroom for customers that requires a code. I got the Good Buns smash burger with all the works. The cheese skirt is what makes it stand out, adding a crispy bite to an otherwise soft burger. The wagyu patties were meaty with a satisfying amount of fat and greasiness. The brioche buns were good quality and toasted, but a bit too squished for my taste; I like my buns to feel like actual buns. Ketchup, ranch, and special sauce available if requested. I loved the small bit of corn on the side. The fries were extremely crispy, probably lightly coated with flour to keep that crunch. I'd come back when I'm feeling a hearty burger. read more

Casual restaurant with a straightforward menu, serving smash Wagyu burgers . You place your order at the counter, I got a double smash with added grilled onions and mushrooms. The single smash (one patty) is the simplest option. I suggested to the manager about adding plain grilled cheese sandwiches to the menu for kids, but I guess that's not the focus of the place. He said the single smash was the closest thing. All add ons are an up charge : cheese, jalapeño, tomato etc... The French fries were definitely fantastic- and we also got chili cheese fries. The corn ribs is something new , I think they are quick fried and seasoned. One rib came with each smash burger order. Casual and quiet, no high chair so that may be something for the owners to also consider. All gender bathroom is at the end of a hallway decorated with a lot of F1 race car poster like art. Ended with soft serve swirl that is available in cups ( no cone). Quick meal still hit close to $50 for two doubles and one single smash. Spare furnishings. You bus your table afterwards, but the manager kindly helped us because we had a toddler. read more

I came here looking for a good smash burger, and my word, did this place deliver. It's a small hole-in-the-wall, by Knott's Berry Farm; completely unassuming, with reasonable prices, I was afraid this place would not meet expectations. Thankfully, it not only met expectations, but wildly exceeded it. We ordered the double smash with bacon and onions, good buns smash, and an order of gravy fries. Gravy fries were delicious, and remained crispy, even though it was smothered in gravy. The burgers themselves were cooked to perfection. They were juicy, the cheese was super crunchy, everything was seasoned well. When you held the burger up to take a bite, nothing really falls out, signs of a perfect smash burger! You order your food at the counter, and then they bring it out to you. This is what I expect from a casual burger spot. But the employee dropped off the food, and asked if we needed any condiments, which was included. Nowadays, I feel like it's exceptionally rare to find a burger spot that doesn't charge for ranch or spread. And then, he came back midway through our meal just to check on us. It may be a casual restuarant, but the service was absolutely exceptional. Happy to say that I've found my new go-to spot for a good burger. read more

It takes a lot to earn a 5, but this is a very strong 4. First off, the customer service was excellent. The cashier thanked me for my honesty regarding a situation, and later, and he "accidentally" had an extra order of fries for my party. Maybe he genuinely did, but a nice guy. The menu is basic....not fast food, definitely QSR, but...really good tasting beef patties. They compare this place to a restaurant that can have you "in and out" fast, but I'd rather go here. Thicker, beefier tasting patties...what you want an honest All American burger to taste like....with wagyu ;) The complimentary corn rib "thing," was different, but in a good way. If I ever make it back, it'd be a good item to share with a group. Whether in the area or needing food after a visit with Snoopy, definitely a place to visit for a delicious, high quality butger read more

Overall a great new burger place! They have friendly service and they keep the restaurant clean. The menu isn't the largest but I think if you're just going for burgers you can find something that works for you. There's no soda fountain so everything is bottled. Those are the basics so let's get on to the food. I got a double cheeseburger and it was good. The brioche bun was very nice and fresh. The meat itself was really good. Kind of melted in my mouth. Not quite like a Japanese wagyu patty but this was pretty damn good. The cheese was very gooey which I enjoyed and the sauce was kind of a thousand Island sauce. The only two things I can knock the burger for were that it needed a bit more sauce and it needed something else. Maybe pickles or something else but something was definitely missing to complete the burger. Yes, you can add many things to the burger for an additional fee but I think as is on the menu the burger is missing something. Honestly, the fries were nothing special for standard fries. They were good and crispy but they definitely need to do something to make them stand out a bit more. Maybe some kind of seasoning on them? I can't truly knock this place for anything big. When you consider the price, it's an even better spot to hit up for burgers in this area than anywhere else. I would say this is a very reasonable spot to get a high quality Burger. read more

I am a self-proclaimed foodie and I love burgers and fries so when I saw that a new burger joint opened up I had to try it. I have to admit though that this my first time trying a smash burger. I tried the single smash wagyu burger and added grilled onions. From the first bite I could tell this was a quality burger. The cheese was melted and hanging out of the burger which was nice. Definitely filling, but in my humble opinion the burger was a tidbit salty. A tidbit. In my opinion to balance out the salty taste I would consider they add a sweet jam to create a balance of sweet and salty. It would be nice to add other fresh ingredients like lettuce and raw onions too because it is a pretty heavy and filling burger. Please also add a condiment of some kind of hot sauce. Also got their regular fries. Fries were really good. They reminded me of BBQ chicken fries. Cooked fresh and flavorful. I do wonder why they only have chili fries and not chili cheese fries. They gave a free piece of grilled corn. It was good! Total: about $11.30? I forgot I threw away my receipt Overall I would eat here again. read more

I rarely do reviews but this is such a hidden gem. I ordered a single smash burger with grilled onions and chili fries. Smashburger: Fantastic. I will even say it's the best smashburger I've tried. This is from someone who enjoys a good burger. They give you generous amount of grilled onions. Didn't feel like there was any sauce inside so it should be enjoyed with their free house sauce which tasts like thousand and honey mustard. Chili Fries: I would order the chili on the side next time as I did not know their fries are so good as it is. Very light crisp textures on the outside and soft inside. Taste very different compared to In N Out. This is hot off the grill with very soft bread that is also hot. Cheesy and a bit greasy smash burger which is perfect. I'd try with mushroom and grilled onion next time. To owner: Would be nice to have a picture of the burger that is visible from the outside. Was odd to see no picture of the food anywhere. read more
