Really good burgers and fries! I had the jalapeño burger. Service was really good too. I'll be back!

Lil bro was craving burgers so here we went. This spot is very local to us and the menu is a bit unique as you can only order a burger and fry combo. The wall murals inside the restaurant are top tier and gave me a good chuckle. Service was also exceptional - our server was patient while we took our time to order and was very friendly. My brother ordered the jalapeno smash while I got the kid smash as I was not very hungry. The patty is the star here. Perfectly smashed with crispy laced edges that are very well seasoned. The buns are very soft and buttery. I had a bite of the jalapeno smash and wow I would get this next time - the sauce and grilled onions with jalapeno are perfect compliments to the burger. The fries are also super crispy and well seasoned. Very close to my ideal fry (just a bit more seasoning and it'd be perfect!) It was my brother's 2nd time here and the menu has changed since then. He also mentioned the food had a serious upgrade as it was not as good the last time he visited. If it's been a while since you visited Hot Bunz, give it another try!

Good smash burger. Bun was toasted and warm! Fries were well seasoned and crispy. The menu is pretty simple or ordering was easy. Good customer service. I like how they have a condiment station with fresh peppers and jalapenos. The vibe was chill and the decor was cool. The restaurant was very clean too.

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.

Came in and ordered to go, ordered extra patties on my burgers and some other things. Restaurant looks cool and has some fun murals on the walls, ample seating and some patio chairs outside. Opened it up on the road and order was wrong, I was too far to turn back so I called the restaurant. First person I spoke with was very polite, but the "manager" wasn't very compromising or apologetic, asked my order number and said he'd refund me the difference. Burgers aren't great if they aren't piping hot either, mine wasn't cold but it wasn't good. Enough for me to not go back

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.

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.

burger, fries, & strawberry shake
Destiny L.

extremely flavorful! the menu is simple, so it's easy to choose what you want. the burger was juicy, the fries were well seasoned, & the sauce was really good. you get so much for the price! it wasn't busy when i went, so service was quick. this is what i would call quality fast food.

Western smash add jalapeños.

Tried Hot Bunz for the first time while visiting family in Elk Grove. It was just what a smash burger should taste like.

#4 2x Jalapeno Smash with Fries
Jay S.

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.

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.

Western Smash

Our expectations of food experiences should always include quality and good service. Hot Bunz has always been a go to for us but today's service, from Jennica, was top notched . She sold their latest burgers, Western Smash, out of the park. And it delivered when I bit into it. Go now and get some bacon and onion rings up in that smash burger!

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.

Really good vegan burger spot! My friend in the area recommended we try this place for dinner…read more Minimalist interior with elements of metal chairs, wooden tables and green foliage accents. The staff who took our order was nice and helped us decide on what to get. We started with their crafted bubbles: Passion Fruit with chia seeds and Salted Lemon Plum with mint ($7 each). They're served in large glasses and had to take some to-go. I didn't try the salted lemon plum, but I really liked the passion fruit with chia seeds. It wasn't too sweet and the passion fruit was fresh. The Banh Mi Burger ($17.5) was bomb! The vegan beef patty was hearty and could pass for a beef patty. The fresh cilantro, jalapeños, pickled carrots and cucumber added a nice crunch and kick. I hadn't had tempura green beans in a while and these were a nice change from the usual fries. I forget how much they cost, but they gave a generous amount, enough for a few people to share. They were seasoned perfectly, lightly fried and not too greasy. My friend got a curry noodle bowl and she didn't seem super jazzed about it. I think their burgers are the way to go here!

I liked this place a lot. I am definitely an omnivore, so this is high praise coming from me…read more I came in with my family - one had a gluten allergy and the other is vegetarian also with some food allergies, so this seemed like a great spot to try out. The smoked BBQ tofu salad is definitely a showstopper. That thing was crazy to look at when they pull it out. My nieces liked their salad bowls. I enjoyed my carne asada burger, but it wasn't very spicy. The bun was pretty nice though. The fries were really good! I really liked the living wall they have at the restaurant, but I think it's looking a little sad on account that it's winter time.

The sandwich was very flavorful and definitely my favorite part of the meal. The chicken was juicy and the veggies tasted fresh. The buffalo fries were also good. However, the buffalo sauce was a little too overpowering and next time I will ask for it on the side. I ended up requesting an extra side of ranch to help with the taste.

We ordered the Cowboy burger, Swiss mushroom burger and the loaded tri tip nachos. Food was ready in about 15 minutes and considering they were a tad busy, that wasn't too bad of a wait time. I was amazed with the size of the regular loaded nachos, it was huge! Both burgers were of decent size as well. The patties were seasoned well and super juicy. But the star of the food was by far those tri tip nachos. Big chunks of tender tri tip, sweet and tangy bbq sauce and loaded with jalapeños.
