I really enjoy eating in eclectic establishments with unique dishes, especially when made well, and Thunder Bacon Burger brought the thunder in each of these areas! I have not been here since the previous business, Donut Bar, was in the space. While I do miss Donut Bar, Thunder Bacon Burger is an excellent replacement. It was nice to be back. The place was clean, and our server, Erin, was very personable. My wife had the Thunder Veggie Burger, I had the Thinderkush (Green chilies, bleu cheese, chopped bacon, and raspberry chipotle sauce), and our 19-year-old son had the WTF (Peanut butter, chopped bacon, jalapeño, and raspberry chipotle sauce on a donut bun). All of us enjoyed our food, and it made for a memorable Wednesday lunch. If my review was not enough to persuade you to give them a try, they also have a painting of Alex Van Halen's iconic guitar and a sign outside that essentially states skinny people do not get kidnapped. :)
Back in Tucson just under 3 years, cannot believe this was my first time here - the 'Thunder Classic Burger' was as good as it gets. The burger was cooked perfectly, the bun was wonderful, toppings all fresh and a small vice large side of tots (sufficient for two average sized people) were crispy and flavorful. Toss in friendly and welcoming service from Lauren and Dragoon (Sonoran Amber) on tap, absolutely great experience and a perfect lunch stop. The restrooms have cool art deco and overall, I am issuing my coveted 6-star rating on cleanliness. Those cieling tiles to include around intakes - spotless! Assuming the kitchen is as clean as the dining area, this place deserves a A++. Will definitely return, highly recommend. Tip: Ride share may take you to the previous location, double check the current address in your app.
Just randomly wanted a burger while I was walking around and came across this place on yelp. There was only one other couple so service was immediate and they had some cool photos on the wall. I got the burger that had donuts for a bun and red chili peppers inside with some kind of barbecue sauce and it was insanely good. Had an IPA that voodoo ranger IPA. It was good went perfectly with the fries in the burger. I will definitely be back for another burger.
First the location. It's downtown and parking is an issue. The are a few spots on the street in front but they were taken. Ended in a parking garage around the corner. The restaurant has an urban vibe and was fairly empty when we got there a little after noon on a Saturday. It ended up being pretty jammed but the time we left. We seated immediately and our waitress did a great job of taking care of us the entire time. We both ordered the Thunder Classic Burger with tater tots on the side. It's a double patty smash burger on an amazing bun. I opted out on the "Thunder Sauce" and went with yellow mustard instead. My wife went with the sauce which I later tasted and it was pretty good. Prepare to get messy with the burger but it's worth it! It's a basic burger, with lettuce, tomato and pickles but its tastes amazing.... On a final note the restrooms are CLEAN!
Nice place to stop in for a pretty decent and unique burger. Good flavor, not to messy and a very rock and roll ambiance. We tried a couple burgers and also the loaded tater tots. The cream cheese took me by surprise and made it a little heavy but the pickled onions helped. Nice place to grab lunch with friends and I'm sure also an even better spot after a few drinks and a walk downtown. Would return again.
Absolutely LOVED it here! I got the Farlows burger and ate every bite of it, it was that good! The pulled pork on it was soooo tender too. My girlfriend got the 520 burger, she loved it and it definitely had some spice to it! The lady working was very sweet and nice (can't remember her name but she's the one that had plugs in her ears) very friendly as well. Fantastic experience and will be coming back again. Side note: There's an older male spirit/ghost that hangs out inside as well I saw. Very calm man and doesn't bug anyone, he's more of an observer . I'm also a psychic medium so most people won't see this man but waitress affirmed what I saw. All good vibes!
A small burger joint located downtown. This place was great! Loved my classic bacon burger. We also got the Thunder Pacaw which was a breaded chicken patty on top of a burger. The hot honey chili sauce on top was so good. Server was super nice and provided suggestions and explained the menu. We loved the art decor too. The bathroom decor is hilarious.
Ambiance: cool hole on the wall Service: Friendly, Approachable Food: Valhalla-worthy We ordered the Big Kahuna, the Inception and to shared Tinder Style Loaded Tots. Thunder Sauce: 1000 Island Note: I totally intended to take a photo of the burgers. They were big and juicy, burgers come with pattys - I think. Ours did. *rolling out of here.
Here's the deal this is pretty decent food. However, I do have a few issues. I ordered via doordash and after comparing price they are charging more on doordash than in restaurant. Example 3 way is 18 in store we paid 21 on doordash. Also, on the photos they show make the portions look huge and they're not. They are fine portion but a realistic photo of what you're getting is what is expected. They make the fries (and we ordered large porion)and tots look like they could feed 2 people, But it's not it's a small portion compared to photos. Which again is fine, but let's not over promise. Finally, the food it's self. The buns are so good, tgey are nice and soft. I had the G.O.A.T burger it was decent. It's not something I would go out if my way to order again. My husband had the 3 way burger. He loved it. However, again it was nearly as much food as they made it look like. The fries that are called Chipotle are really buffalo. They were great. Just not what I expected. The thunder fries were great. The thunder sauce is similar to big mac sauce. I would leave thunder off next time. Finally, I'm going to upload photos of what I received compared to the photos they provide. Included prices on website vs doordash.
Overall I had a pretty good experience here. It wasn't busy at all on a Sunday morning. The waitress was friendly and attentive, and my food came in just under 10 minutes after ordering. Sometimes when ordering a burger, places ask how you'd like your meat cooked, but I guess they don't do that here. The Thunderkush was pretty good, and the fries were crispy and not overly salty, how I like them. They charged an extra dollar for a side of BBQ sauce. I'd definitely come back and try one of their other unique burgers.
I went here last weekend and had a great experience. The woman who served me had a great personality and helped me pick a burger. Can't remember name but black hair and cheek piercing, you're awesome. Best thing about this place is the creative burger options, I will be trying more for sure. The restaurant is well decorated and spotless clean. The view looks over towards the downtown transit station, so there is always something crazy to see out the windows. Two small complaints: 1. Charging for sauce - if I'm spending $20 on a burger and fries, getting charged $1/per for a non-homemade ranch and side of house sauce should be criminal. 2. All the TVs were turned off on a saturday midday (I was the only person in the restaurant), I asked if I could get the free ufc fights put on, waitresses asked the owner/management who said no. Alright then
This place took over the beloved donut bar and I was sad to see, is no longer doing both. The Thunder Backn Burgers however, looked like a dream online so my husband and I were excited to come try them! I loved the selections, both classic and a little out there. I tend to prefer the "out there" side. I chose the 520 burger, a chorizo burger with green chiles and bacon. When it came, it wasn't bad. The meat was flatter and soft (like a Freddie's burger) and the bun was soft . It appeared like the pictures but also in a more realistic edible size which was not a problem. I did feel like it needed something, some kind of kick.. maybe a less mild chorizo. Until I deconstructed it, I thought they had gave me a hamburger patty instead. My husband got the Big Kahuna... it looked amazing when it came out and he said it was good. We ordered the Thunder tots as well but I was not impressed. Something must have been going on with my taste because there was this reminiscent taste in them... my husband finally said ohhh teriyaki! But that wasn't it to me... it was a potato salad taste (I don't like potato salad). Idk what exactly was in the tots but that's the taste I got from it. The server was nice and helped with ordering, but took a bit long to bring water on a hot day, as well as for a refill (we had to ask both times).. but she was good with the water after those 2 times. I did think it was strange though that she asked if we wanted ice. Never had that question and again it was pretty warm out. You pay at the counter (which we only knew because we saw someone else do it) and the server was talkative and friendly , which was a pleasant end to our time at Thunder Burger. I do want to go back and try another burger, and I would recommend this place to others. I would really give it a 3.5 if I could. Just didn't quite hit a 4 star experience for me.
This is a very complicated review for me to write because the experience was all over the board. Food was delicious and def 5 stars. Our waitress was also amazing and 5 stars. Here's where it falls off the rails. No soda fountain so only have canned soda and no diet coke when we were there. Also no ice?!??! So whatever you drink will be tepid. Absolutely terrible ketchup, probably sysco house recipe which is the worst of the worst so we ordered some of their signature sauce to dip our fries in and they charge 1.75 for a small little side. I had the burger with goat cheese and it was great. We also ordered the thunder queso fries and thunder fries and all agree the thunder fries were the winner.

I stopped in to see the original Lindy on 4th Ave & I was not disappointed. The Thunderkush was a perfectly seasoned patty with green chile, bacon, bleu cheese & raspberry preserves. #EatLocal #Tucson read more

The burger itself was excellent - moist and flavorful with great bread. They are thin meat patties like Freddy's, and their sauce was like a garlic aioli. The fries are a thick steak cut but also more breaded, like Barrio's in terms of the breading, very good. However, they only had 2 beers on tap, and I think another 2-3 in cans - but much variety. The place is very small, not much seating so don't plan to bring a big group. We sat at the bar - which had no knee room - there's only one 2-top and one 4-top table. The donut was okay - I had a triple chocolate that did not taste very chocolatey, weirdly. The service was fast and friendly. I wish we'd visited this place before they moved, because I bet it was way better - we were expecting tots and other menu items based on the reviews and photos, but it's much more limited in its new tiny venue in the donut shop. read more

My son and I were visiting U of A from So Cal and found this place. First off, the food is amazing. I got the Thunderkush burger with Thunder fries and my son got a classic burger with dirty thunder tots. They were having some sort of an event or something so the server who took our order at the counter let us know that food would take a little longer than normal to come out. It was well worth the wait! My son and I both said that the burgers were the best we have ever had. The restaurant itself looks tiny from the outside and we would have never picked it out had it not been from finding it on Yelp. Once you are inside there is more space than there appears to be. It is about half a mile from the regular strip of restaurants that connects to the campus. I believe it is a family owned place with most of the staff being part of said family. Definitely give it a try- you won't be disappointed! read more

Place was very good. It it is a locally owned spot. I got the 520 burger with a side of french fries. The 520 burger was amazing and comes with a chorizo patty, diced green chilies and diced pieces of bacon with pepper jack cheese on a brioche bun. The patty itself is similar to a smash burger size. The fries were marginal, crinkle fries, but the tots (my fiancé got with her burger) were amazing. I wish they had fountain drinks as they only offer bottled or canned beverages. Overall a great locally owned and operated spot for some comfort food! read more
