    Great smash burgers!!!! Flavor is there. Even their fries are good . Prices are reasonable, staff is great. And it's located near the Target shopping center so there's plenty of parking.

    #4 2x Jalapeno Smash with Fries

    Finally gave Hot Bunz a try after seeing them all over social media. Overall, it's a solid spot for the price, you definitely get your money's worth in terms of portion size. The restaurant itself has a great, open atmosphere with plenty of room. While the staff was quick to take my order, there was a significant wait for the food to actually arrive. As for the meal, the fries were the highlight with great texture and flavor. However, the burgers were a bit of a letdown; despite being loaded with cheese, sauce, and jalapeños, the flavor was surprisingly masked and lacked any punch. Every bite felt very plain and repetitive.

    Stopped into Hot Bunz, again today, with the hankering for a good burger and fries. I decided on and ordered the #2 Jalapeno Smash: One Smash with double grass-fed beef patties, melted white American cheese, caramelized grilled jalapenos and grilled onions, pickles, and signature house sauce drizzled on a toasted bun. Served with fries. Delicious, hot, served in an eye appealing yummy way. Plenty of good. Bun withstands the sauce and juiciness and you're not left with a messy burger and no bun. As with the past visits and orders, excellent. Fun restaurant with cool artwork, nice colors, very clean, lots of seating and excellent customer service. Bathrooms are super clean (smell musty) but the cleanest ones I've seen in a while.

    Hit up Hot Bunz in South Sac today with BB and whew... this place has personality. From the jump, the decor is next level -- there's a mural with a bunch of fast food chain mascots in a whole UFC-style match Like I'm trying to eat my burger, but also... I'm invested in the storyline. What we ordered: * Western Bacon Smash Burger + onion rings (me) * Classic Smash Burger + Frisky Fries (BB) Both burgers come with two smashed patties -- super thin, but well-seasoned and cooked right. My only "ehhh" moment was the cheese on mine... I wasn't feeling it. BUT the bacon and patties still did what they needed to do, so I wasn't mad at it. Now let's talk sides: The onion rings were thick, crispy, and seasoned well -- exactly how onion rings are supposed to be. And BB's Frisky Fries were a fun switch-up... but here's my thing: They need to add ranch to the menu. And I know I'm not alone because I wasn't the only one asking for it. Ranch with those fries would take the whole meal over the top. Like... permanently in the rotation. Service was good, the food came out fast, and they've got ample parking and plenty of seating, which I always appreciate. Bottom line: Great burger spot with a cool vibe and strong seasoning. Fix the ranch situation and I'm giving them a full 5 stars.

    Frisky Fry with an extra ingredient

    Pick up order of frisky fries and classic smash. Service was fine and able to get food quickly at the counter. Multiple TVs and music playing as you wait or dine-in Unfortunately, my food included hair as an extra ingredient. Disappointing and gross

    Our Mac Attack that we definitely attacked

    We loved the Hot Bunz in Rancho and saw this location when we were in the area. The location is just like the original. It's covered wall to wall with custom art from Coinslot. Mostly depicting their burger guy fighting other well known brands haha. The menu is the same with their different smash burgers, the frisky fries, mac attack, and shakes. All of them tasted great, just like the original location. Don't forget to ask for extra house sauce. That's what really makes it special. Staff were friendly and helpful. We love that take out boxes and bags were set out and easy to grab. There were also signs telling you the bathroom code was on the receipt. So definitely don't throw it out! We made that mistake but another costumer noticed it and told us the code.

    Been wanting to try out this place and finally was around the area and got a chance to go. The place is pretty clean and big with plenty of seating inside and outside the restaurant. The service was great. We got the combo which comes with two burgers plus fries and the Mac Attack which was plenty of food to share between 2 people and the price was decent. The burger is juicy and full of flavor. The fries were seasoned and crispy. Love the side of jalapeño and peppers that you can get from the counter. What can I say, I have no complaints about this place at all. I think it's worth checking out if you're ever in the area and craving a good smash burger spot.

    #2 Jalapeno Smash #3 Triple Smash Mac Attack Fries

    Should the name be Cold Bunz? So maybe we were suppose to ask for the buns to be toasted, I'm not sure since it was our first time. So the burger was great, but I'm not sure why all of our buns were SO cold. It was right out of the refrigerator, not toasted at all... but the inside meat+cheese was warm with good flavor (just kind of disappointing when you can tell the bread just came out the fridge) Fries are super good, Mac attack was good too. Hopefully we get to try them again with actual hot buns next time!

    . I tried this place one time and haven't stopped coming since I probably go once a week or once every two weeks. They stay open till 11 too which is amazing. Their burgers have so much flavor and the fries are seasoned too and my son is a picky boy but he loved hot buns and their Mac n chees. The service is always good too. I see the same workers usually and they're all super nice and super hard working. And you guys the art in this place is so cool. I love this place. Really a 10/10

    #2 Jalapeno Smash

    Ordered the double smash jalapeño burger, me personally I wasn't a big fan of it.. it kind of lacked flavor. But I'm not gonna give them low rating because that's my personal taste. This is also my first time having a "smash" burger so the patty was really thin. Which was good for my small mouth eaters lol to me the burger and fries tasted exactly like In & Out animal style. Inside the restaurant was clean, bathroom was very clean as well and smelt clean! The workers are also nice.

    Menu as of 7/5/25

    Probably one of the better smash burgers I've had. 100% halal which was awesome. I ordered via the phone to save them some of the app fees and the food was nice and not upon pickup with no wait. I highly recommend trying the Jalapeño smash combo or the keto bowl. Both were delicious. I do think their prices have gone up a bit too much though. I recall the Jalapeño burger combo being around 15-17 and was surprised to pay $20 for that. I think $17 is the upper limit they should consider selling that for. I would definitely go there again and order the same items. Check them out for yourself!

    I tried their new Western Smash (two smash patties with white American cheese, crispy beef bacon, onion ring, pickles, BBQ sauce, and house sauce), while my wife had their Classic Smash. The guy working the counter was great, he let us know you could save money by getting the two double Classic Smash burger combo and then upgrading one of the burgers to the Western Smash, rather than ordering them separately. They also hooked us up with some extra fries. I love spots like this that do those little things to create loyal customers. The burgers and fries were delicious. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area. Last but not least, I've got to give a shoutout to the wall art, it's awesome!

The fries were actually pretty good, an above average standard French fry with salt. The burger however was phenomenal. There was an amazing crust on the outside reminiscent of a backyard bbq. There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.
