#4 2x's Classic Smash
Manny Z.

Came here starving and was glad to see the menu had large options, I ordered the #4 2x's classic smash with frisky fries and was glad I did. Food was amazing. Service was good. The ambiance was amazing. Would highly recommend 5/5

Two Cheese burger and French fries deal ($20)
Amber N.

I love smash burgers but sometimes they can be too greasy or way too messy but this place didn't have any of those issues. Came here for lunch because a friend recommended me this place. They had a deal with two smash burgers and fries for only $20? That's such a good deal for 2 people. We ordered from the cashier and they told us that you can add lettuce and tomatoes in the burger. We ordered a drink and you get the drink yourself from the fountain. We got our food 5 mins later. Everything is pretty much self serve, even getting the burger you had to get it from the counter. The burger itself was very tasty. They added a perfect amount of sauce in the patty. The sauce kind of remind me of a mix of in n out burger sauce. Fries were very well seasoned too. Inside was pretty big and had a lot of seating options. Bathrooms were clean. I definitely want to take my boyfriend here next time.

Took my friend here and we ordered the 2X Classic Smash because the deal for $20 is such a steal. This was the 2nd time I've ate here and this time, I learned that you can ask to add lettuce and tomatoes to your burger which I did this time since I didn't realize that the first time I ate here with my husband. I love smash burgers and adding on the lettuce and tomatoes to the burger made it 10000% better. Definitely recommend to ask the cashier to add lettuce and tomatoes to your burger to enhance the flavor your burger and make it so much better!

I love Hot Bunz overall, but my experiences in 2026 have been very hit or miss. Several years ago, when I was still living in the government housing projects, I read an article about this new restaurant Hot Bunz, who was coming in hot as direct competition to In N Out. They were being advertised as like, a more "hood" version of In N Out. The food would be saucier, the fries would be stacked higher, and, most importantly, bacon and jalapeños would be available options. When I saw a location in Elk Grove, I assumed it was the original. I tried it, loved it, tried it again, and loved it again. This pattern went on for a while. Overall, my experiences have been mostly positive. Overall, I like Hot Bunz better than the competition. They are a little pricier, but it's *usually* worth it. Recently, I noticed this location on Sunrise, found out that it was in fact the *original* location, and decided to give it a try. The burger was good. I would never want to discourage anyone from trying this small business. I mostly want to hype them up. But I also want to be honest that if either of my last two experiences with Hot Bunz had been my first, they would have also been my last. A few weeks ago, I had a less than stellar experience at the Elk Grove location. My food was good, but did not nearly live up to the brand expectations. I thought, surely this was just a fluke incidence. Surely the OG location will be even better. Upon entering the Sunrise location, I was immediately impressed with the artwork on the walls. The murals themselves are like a slap in the face to all the major competitors. I loved that there was no line. I had actually been on my way to my favorite In N Out location, but came here instead due to an obscene line. Someone from the back yelled out, "I'll be right with you!" I could hear him washing dishes for a few minutes before he came out. It felt clear that I had arrived during a break in the storm, and he was trying to catch up. I asked him what came on the OG, and either he was extremely stoned, or he has a speech impediment that is so severe that maybe he shouldn't be working the front counter (but what I'm saying is: he was high AF). Look, it's no secret that virtually all restauranteurs are high virtually all the time. I'm not trying to be a Karen, I'm just saying that literally the only two words I could make out were "patties" and "grilled onions." I said, "let me just try that." "No fries or drink?" "No, just the burger." "Nine seventy. HEY! IT'S JUST AN OG!" He began yelling to the back before turning his body, resulting in him yelling in my face. Of course, I would never expect the burger I receive to look exactly like the burger in the picture-- but this didn't even look like the same burger that was being advertised on the promotional signage. The burger in the promo was stacked high with some kind of slaw, pickles, and sauce. My actual burger had barely any toppings. As someone who worked at McDonald's for a few years as a teenager, I felt that this burger had exactly the same amount of rizz as regular cheeseburger from Ronald. I came here for an "extra" burger, but (as evidenced by the picture I uploaded) received a burger that could have come from any public country club kitchen. And, while these onions may have graced the grill, the onions I received are not what most people would refer to as "grilled onions." I'm not sure if Hot Bunz is going downhill, or if I just had two fluke bad experiences in a row.

After reading the glowing Yelp reviews of "Hot Bunz" (which calls itself the "baddest burger in town") from my good Yelp Elite friends, Janelle M. and Carol P., I just had to try this place out for myself. Located directly on Sunrise Blvd and just north of White Rock Rd in Rancho Cordova, this location has been open dating back to September 2022. Since then, they opened a 2nd location (in mid-2023) in South Sacramento/Elk Grove at the corner of Bruceville Rd/Cosumnes River Blvd. Their concept is simple and that is delivering the best smash-styled burgers in the Sacramento area. I am a huge of this type of burger as you can truly taste that charred open-flame taste. I came here during the evening on Friday 3/6/2026 at around 5:45pm. Parking was not an issue at all nor was finding this place very difficult since the bright red neon lights are highly visible from Sunrise Blvd. Upon entry, this place screams color in all directions as the cartoon-styled graphics add a ton of flare and excitement to the interior of the business. When you go to an "In-N-Out", "Five Guys", or "Smashburger", none of those places have that striking dazzling artwork that is found here. There is ample seating throughout complete with a condiment station area that has jalapeños and pepperoncinis to truly spice up your burger. Their menu is quite simple but that's not a bad thing. The burgers itself come fully loaded in either a single or double patty with their thousand island-type sauce, grilled onions, pickles, and American cheese in between a soft buttery bun. You also can add lettuce and tomatoes at no additional charge. The fries are well seasoned and are included with every combo meal. You also have the option of ordering a Mac Attack (macaroni & cheese) as well as a keto cheeseburger bowl (no bun). Since I was starving, I went with the "Classic Smash Combo #1" (for $19 + tax) which was 2 double meat patties w/fries. Drinks on the combo meals are sold separately. The burgers and fries arrived within 10 minutes and everything looked amazing. One bite of this and was absolutely sold as this was exactly what a smash burger should taste like. The meat was grilled to perfection and the melted cheese was perfectly balanced in between the soft spongy bun. I also enjoyed the tanginess of the sauce while it made for a perfect dip for the fries (which were seasoned with paprika and other spices). The service here was just okay as the employees did not have much of a personality. But nonetheless, these burgers are absolutely the real deal. All in all, "Hot Bunz" is the real deal. And since they are open 7 days a week from 11am-10pm, you can get your burger fix late morning or late at night. With that said and done, I am giving this place a perfect five-star rating.

My burger-loving friend loves this place. I personally dont get it myself, but if this is your vibe you love it. They were playing SpongeBob on the TV and they have both fresh and pickled jalapeno options. Burgers are a fair price. Food is hot and fresh, except the mac attack was kind of cold. Onion ring portion was a bit expensive for $8. If you're into Arby's burgers you'd probably like this place, just not really for me.

Bryan M.

A great local burger spot and definitely a standout in the Rancho Cordova area which has long been lacking a really good burger option outside of In N Out. It fills that gap perfectly and does so with consistency. I usually go with the jalapeño smash and it never disappoints. The burgers are juicy well seasoned and cooked properly with a great sear that adds real flavor. No matter how busy they are the burgers have always been on point and tasty which keeps me coming back. The menu stays focused and simple which works in their favor. They concentrate on executing burgers well rather than overcomplicating things. The fries are a solid pairing and round out the meal nicely. Hot Bunz is not trying to reinvent the burger but they are doing it right. For Rancho Cordova this place is a welcome addition and an easy recommendation if you want a reliably good burger.

Savory hot bunz!! Wanted a tasty, McFatty meal right after kayaking a for a few hours at Nimbus dam. Yelp search brought us to try Hot Bunz and it didn't disappoint! Do yourself a favor and get the meals with 2 burgers, not 1. You'll end up craving and have space for more after that first incredibly packed burger. Classic smash or Jalapeno smash - you can't go wrong and you'll be glad you did. Kids enjoyed it, family loved it, and it's a shame it's so far from home but curiosity was fulfilled at least. I really liked that they had a station to simply dig into more peppers and sides for our burgers. Ample parking right out front and to the side, spacious dining room with a decent amount of tables, friendly and fast service, decent prices for specialty burgers (yes, a bit pricey), and chill ambience for families and friends. I think I recall seeing TVs also - a plus to watch some sports while splurging on the loaded, spiced up, delicious burgers!

Pretty cool burger joint. It's in an interesting location, but nevertheless, wanted to try out a new burger joint. Hot Bunz makes smashburgers and pretty dang good ones! We ordered their combo which came with two double meat smashburgers and fries. We also got a drink to share and onion rings. The price was decent. The burgers were delicious. They were flavorful, juicy, and definitely smashed. The sauce was good. A little tangy and the grilled onions went great together with it all. The fries stayed crispy the whole time while eating them. The onion rings were also good and cooked perfectly. While you're eating, you can enjoy the murals of their mascot beating up your favorite other fastfood mascots haha Good place to try some smashburgers. I would come back if I was craving a good smashburger.

Maz H.

New favorite burger place! Excellent smash burgers. Everything was made fresh and it tasted amazing, Prices were great and service was great, Everything was great. I couldn't ask for more. Good little place, very ambient and cozy. Armenian brothers never disappointed

Kids meal
Cynthia C.

My kids will eat the burgers and fries here. The waiter isn't bad and its not too busy. We go here monthly. The smash burger meal with the 2 burgers is enough to share. The burger tastes charbroiled and thin layers on top and with the sauce is delicious. The milkshakes are good too. Definitely should try them out.

Western Smash
Skyeler F.

Went here with a group of friends. It was a good time. We ordered a jalapeño burger, western burger and Mac attack. Every thing was good. The murals in the restaurant are lively and fun. Great opportunity to take photos. Jalapeño burger has 3 smash patties and fresh grilled jalapeños very good super tasty patties are well seasoned great Smashburger. The french fries very seasoned good but would be better if more crispy. Western burger 15 bucks three smash patties, with cheese and bacon and onion ring. Pretty standard bacon burger, but still good. Mac Attack mac was good however, once you get done with the french fries just feels like a lot going on in one dish. I'd be back. It's heavy though. Great comfort food.

I ordered two double doubles with no cheese! No cheese, went through door dash, of course it came loaded with cheese! Clearly shows on receipt no cheese! Called them to try and make it right, of course they said I would have to drive there to get it replaced , blamed it on me and on door dash, well hell I ordered it for delivery for my convenience I don't want to drive there, that's the point!! Of course they blamed me and said it's basically my fault, so so sad! Took my 25.01 and robbed me! Never ever go to this place! They are not honest people

I was a little confused at first trying to find the location, only to realize it's actually attached to the mall -- but once inside, the ambiance made up for it. The food was delicious: I had the fried chicken, my aunt had the Cajun pasta, and both my mom and other aunt ordered the meatloaf. They really enjoyed it! They mentioned the banana pudding could use a bit of improvement, but overall everything was tasty and satisfying. While sitting at the bar, we ended up talking to a mother-and-son duo who were regulars. They had nothing but positive things to say about the restaurant, which was nice to hear and matched our own experience. Great vibes, good food, and a memorable evening for my mom's milestone birthday. Keep up the good work!

The Galleria is currently doing a major renovation in that section. The restaurant decor is cozy, classy and beautiful, and the hostess was very welcoming. They won't seat guests in the private dining room if less than seven people are in attendance. When we arrived, we were only six so we had to wait in the lobby until the rest of our party arrived. Once all arrived, we were seated in the private room. Our server was Myles. He was very kind, made some recommendations and asked if we had any questions. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. The waiting time to order was slow, but we were patient. Family ordered various entrees, with some taking much longer to arrive at the table. If you order the seafood platter, be forewarned as it is humongous! We ordered two of these for each side of the room and thank goodness we were able to finish it all! Everyone was satisfied with their meals and desserts. I ordered a Caesar salad, but found bits of old brown lettuce in it which I had to pick off. My entree was fried chicken with mashed potatoes. The chicken was very tender, but the outer crust fell apart when you bit into it and was a bit salty for my liking. All in all, we had a nice time and thanks to Myles for the wonderful service!

The food was bomb, especially the brunch burger -- genuinely a standout. The fries were really good too, no notes there. Staff were awesome and service was excellent the whole visit, keeping the energy going along with everything else. Pricing was a pleasant surprise -- $12 for a whiskey on the rocks is a solid deal, and the food was reasonably priced across the board too. Between the virtual golf, great food, good drinks at a fair price, and staff that keep the vibe going, this is an easy recommend. Come check this place out -- you won't regret it.

We were seated and had a server come up to the table immediately. He showed us where to find the Happy Hour menu. We were kind of bummed because there were only 3 drinks on the menu and then it turned out that the food menu was limited. We ended up paying full price for a Salted Caramel espresso martini. My friend ordered 2 blackberry margaritas. For food, she ordered the asada tacos and I ordered the fish tacos. We shared a house salad. Service was great, but we found out afterwards that they were out of the peppercorn vinaigrette. The chipotle lime vinaigrette was tasty, so it worked out, but how are you out of a dressing at the beginning of the evening? We were so pleased that they split the house salad into 2 bowls for us. It was a great salad. Both taco plates were tasty. We enjoyed them. The amount of curtido on the side was not the same and I could have totally gone for more! Our servers were very attentive. We got our check quickly and were able to split the check easily. The bathroom mirrors are SUPER cute!

My partner and I were on a trip to Coalfax, so we decided to look this place up. While I had read reviews that criticized the waitresses and staff for their poor attitudes, I wanted to give the place a chance and not let negative opinions deter me. After all, everyone has different preferences and experiences. We chose to sit outside, which was a lovely idea, but unfortunately, the area was overrun with flies, making it quite uncomfortable and we had a hard time enjoying the experience. I understand that bugs are common in outdoor settings, especially in the woods, but I have a suggestion that might help alleviate the problem. I recommend adding a few more ceiling fans to circulate the air and deter the flies. I noticed that you already have some fans, but they're not enough. Please consider addressing this issue to enhance the overall experience of sitting outside in your beautiful outdoor seating area. Moving on to the service, the waitress was decent, but there were some uhm issues that made us laugh. When we placed our orders, we asked if there was a dinner menu, as my partner wanted steak. However, the menu we received was more suited for brunch. The waitress informed us that dinner wasn't actually available for another hour, but she was able to substitute some items for us and make us a dinner plate. Then our orders came and this is when we started laughing. Every time a healthier dish was brought out the waitress would hand it to my partner, who is smaller than me and every time something unhealthy was brought It was automatically assumed I had ordered the unhealthy food. It was actually the opposite but what actually bothered me is the waitress never asked us who's food was who's but she took the order lmfao so that made no sense. I understand that I'm the larger person, but it was a bit off-putting. We couldn't help but laugh as I've learned to laugh at awkward situations, but my partner wanted to comment, but I asked them not to. It wasn't worth ruining our dinner. Anyway the waitress seemed tired, uninterested, and moody but ultimately was kind enough I guess. I understand that we're all tired and have personal issues going on but you're at work. I would appreciate a smile and friendly treatment. Not a moody, uninterested, annoyed seeming waitress. I'm extremely kind, polite, and friendly, so when someone isn't that way to me, it's disappointing. Anyway all in all i actually liked this place. The food and the prices were great for the place it was. But please fix the fly issue and please remind your staff to be friendly to customers and watch the way they carry themselves PLEASE!
