We were in Frederick to do some grand daughter sitting, and gave Beef N Buns a try. Great choice. On a Friday evening, busy, but the line for the order window moved quickly, still allowed us decent time to study the menu and make our choices. Placed an order for a cheeseburger for the youngster (her choice) and got a whole cheese steak with caramelized onions to split between the two adults. French fries with nacho sauce rounded out the order. Waited outside in a pleasant evening breeze for about 10 minutes, got the anxiously awaited call to the pickup window. Looked for a seat at the outdoor picnic table and they were full, so we took it back to the house and ate outdoors on the patio. Everything was delicious. The bun for the cheese steak was toasted, giving it a different but enjoyable flavor. Fries were very good and the generous cup of nacho sauce was delicious... just the right amount of heat. Not sure what they could have done better... friendly service, great food fast, not fast food. Maybe a little more outdoor seating (there is no indoor seating), but that's it. read more

BURGERS ARE AMAZING. Probably the spot to go if you're starving and need the most. The only flaw of Beef N Buns N Paradise is there's only outside seating. If you're silly and go when it's cold out, prepare to eat in your car, as I did. Definitely a great move for spring, summer, and early fall. If you're looking for suggestions. Try everything. read more

Beef N Buns N Paradise - American Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I am a regular and really enjoy the food here. I can not do much starch and no sugar so I can not comment about the large and varied menu of shakes, malts, soft serve, pie etc. I wish they had a couple of sugar free items and indoor seating. That said, they are fast, friendly and helpful. The crab cake is good and reasonable for the price, the burgers are made with locally produced beef (!) and you choose your topping a la 5 guys.Try their Cape May burger, so named for the topping of crab meat. I love their slaw, finely chopped and not too sweet. I usually add sweet potato fries or rings. Brisket is good and so is the BBQ sandwich and the ham and bean soup. The rock fish is also very tasty. read more

Wow! IF YOUR A BURGER FAN YOU MUST TRY THIS SPOT. This place is amazing. Locally sourced beef. Extremely friendly service and the food was amazing. Y shop is located a few blocks away and I will be eating here regularly. The burger was perfect it even looked like something out of a food add. The onion rings were crispy and the potato salad tasted home made. My only complaint about this place is the fact it isn't open year round. read more

Beef N Buns N Paradise - American Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Best soft serve ice cream in the area, and terrific grilled sandwiches from hot dogs to crab cakes. An extensive menu of sundaes, shakes, and even banana splits! Even more special is the owner knows me by name! read more

I hate to be the first person to give this place a bad review. I wanted to like it so much. I had been outside all day on a photo safari and was looking for something new and different. I was just outside of Frederick MD and found this place via Yelp. I love trying new things, love burgers, saw it used local beef. Thought, this is going to be great! I got the frumy?? The hamburger with your choice of meat topping. I saw ham, and I was like cool. A Double R Bar burger ( Roy Rogers) I got fries and a chocolate shake too. On my burger I asked for Tomato and onions and cheese. When I got to my car and opened the burger box, I saw a pile of onions as high as the hambuger. They fried them. which is something I did not realize they were going to do, I like raw onion on my sandwiches. The way they fried them, they were really strong and pungent. All I could taste on the burger was the onions. I took some off and ate, still too strong and pungent. Then I finally removed all the onions. But the juice had seeped into the bun and I did not enjoy my hamburger at all. On my way home, I stopped by McDees to pick up something for my daughter, had called my wife and she did not want what my wife was eating, so I got her something there. I immediately threw out the bag and all the evidence of the burger in one of McDees trash cans, because my car smelled of onions in a horrid way. I ate this on Sunday. Monday I got in my car to go to work, STILL SMELLED THE ONIONS. Looked in my car to see if I could find anything that may have dropped, could not. Picked up my daughter that afternoon from school, she got in the car and covered her nose and asked what that horrible smell was. I told her and I apologized to her. I had opened and drove with the windows down to try to get rid of the smell. Well tuesday morning, STILL THE SMELL, Tuesday night, picking up daughter, another complaint about the smell. And now Wed morning, I STILL SMELL THE ONIONS. These were the onions from h*ll. Its like a nightmare. Like a date that went horribly wrong. The french fries were okay, nothing too exciting, but good fries. The shake was really good. I again wish I could have given this place a better review, but I am still living the nightmare of my experience. I am going to have to pull everything out of my car at lunch, use a flashlight to see if I can find if there is hopefully something in my car I can throw out. I plan on going back again, may not be for a while, dont go to Frederick often. Next time I will try a hamburger, but WITHOUT THE ONIONS! I dont want to pick up my daughter tonight and have her smell this any more. read more

We decided to stop here while we were in Frederick to pick up some food before heading to listen to live music. We'd seen it a number of times, but never thought anything of it. I can tell you, that we made the right choice! Their burgers are GOOD. Probably some of the better burgers in the area, especially over the chain stores. Big, heaped with toppings, well cooked, I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. They have things other than burgers, but that is their primary focus and they sure know what they're doing. Now, don't expect a restaurant experience here. This is more like a house where they put a walk-up window into the kitchen on the side. There was outdoor seating, but it was cold when we went and we just huddled in our car. Also, there are wait times so you may end up sitting in your car for 10-15 minutes, walking back to check on your food. Still, it was totally worth it in the end! We may need to check back here in the warmer months and see how the experience is then. read more

Definitely must have the crab cakes, without a doubt their best item on the menu. Cajun bleu and cheeseburgers were ok. Atmosphere outside was good and the music was great read more

Awesome food. Just plain awesome. I always get the chili dog and fries, but EVERYTHING is fantastic. My girl loves their Reuben and their cheese sticks. Good food made-to-order, so expect a wait... just place your order then wait to be called. Worth it! Bring a friend to kill the time ;) read more

Wow. YUM! Quality locally owned business! This kind of place is what I live for! They use local beef and crab, and these rolling green hills are perfect for grazing tasty cows! My business partner and I thoroughly enjoyed flying into Frederick Airport and eating here. read more

Beef N Buns N Paradise - I like it! - American Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Very average walkup food. The ice cream is great.

I like Beef 'n Buns 'n Paradise. The burgers are very good, and the service is friendly. It's takeout only, so be prepared to eat in your car if you don't have somewhere else to go. Food is fresh, which means you will wait a longer than you would at the typical takeout place. A giant positive, in my book, is the fact that Beef 'n Buns 'n Paradise uses locally sourced ingredients. They used locally raised, grass-fed beef, which is wonderful. This means that the prices are somewhat higher than other places, but worth it in my opinion. read more

Funny, purposely tacky atmosphere, awesome burgers, delicious french fries & onion rings REALLY friendly staff, very inexpensive, quite an extensive menu. Even the reuben is quite impressive. Delicious soft-serve ice cream - try the pumpkin flavor served in the Fall! The only con is there's only outdoor seating - great for when it's warm outside though. Apparently, a Frederick institution and for what it's aiming for, I really love it. read more

I have driven by this place a hundred times and never stopped ... and construction on Patrick Street made it far easier to pick up lunch on the right side of the road rather than the left. So the construction crew may have produced a few new customers for BBP today. This place reminds of the ice cream shacks I used to go to as a youth in Ohio ... where you could get burgers, dogs, onion rings, deep fried mushrooms and all sorts of healthy stuff to go with your ice cream or shake. This fine establishment has all those things and more. I had the Maryland crab soup and a barbecue beef sandwich on a kaiser roll. Pretty good actually. Maybe a bit salty. No pretense of offering any nutritional value. But pretty good for an ice cream shack. 3.5 stars, with friendly staff behind the counter ... so I'm rounding up. read more

My friend and I were craving burgers after a day at Cunningham Falls State Park. This place was the top result on Yelp for iPhone -- and with good reason. The food is cooked to order, the menu is rich with offerings, the staff helpfully go over those choices. Oh, and the burgers are pretty fantastic. We both got Angus burgers with cheese and picked a handful of free toppings. We shared a small order of fries. With drinks, the order came to $17 and was worth every cent. The beef -- locally sourced -- was high quality, and the experience messy and delicious. One drawback: no restrooms for hand washing. But the staff will give you moist towelettes if you ask nicely. I'd definitely recommend stopping here over any fast-food joint if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Their burgers, fries and shakes are DELICIOUS. I haven't had their onion rings, but the people I eat with always say they're great. The menu is stacked, with a ton of different flavors and options. I get a different shake every time and I'm still not close to trying them all. The staff is knowledgeable, funny and friendly. The first time I ate there, they greeted my father by name and talked to him like an old friend, which immediately gave me a hugely positive impression. The decor is kitschy but cute, though I always take my food to go. It's a bit out of the way (for me at least), but if you're in the area, stop by! read more

Great desserts! Below average hot food. I've gotten a steak sub from here before. Bun wasn't great, and the rest of it was below average IMO. Fries were fair. However the ice cream and snow cones are delicious! If you looking for a place to get your sweet tooth on ... this is the place. read more

Yummy. One of the best burgers here. Burgers and fries were delicious. My in laws had ice cream and they loved it. Just a note...they have a LARGE selection of ice cream flavors and combinations. Give yourself time to look at the menu. read more

Some of the food is good. It depends on what you order. DONT get the chicken wings. I order the jumbo chicken wings one time, but got something that looked like dry pigeon and were very small, not jumbo. The older guy said thats how their 12 piece "party" wing looks. That the chicken bone shrinks ones they cookem. WTH?! I never heard of chicken shrinking. And they had no mambo sauce. A tropical looking spot but no mambo sauce. Ive gottem real jumbo wings at a chinese carryout with mambo sauce. They are lucky i didnt look at the bag before i drove off. I wouldve snaped. I got home and gave them to my dog, damn shame even he didnt want them. They lost my business and recommendations. read more

Wow! I was a little shocked at how expensive my meal was but was super excited to try it. I bought a patty melt, med malt cookie n cream milkshake and onion rings and came out of pocket $20. I checked out yelp reviews and assumed I would love it. I was wrong! Maybe I picked the wrong meal, I bit into the sandwich and it tasted bland. I could taste the rye bread but no other flavor overtook my taste buds. The milkshake was really good, so will definitely return to try other flavors. I didn't like the onion rings. I'm all about second and third chances, will go back one day and try the pulled pork sandwich and another delicious malt milkshake. read more

Great meal and under 10 bucks, too. I had a cheeseburger with bacon. I ordered the plate, so I got fries, coleslaw and tea. Everything was delicious. No inside seating. read more

Stopped here while on a road trip. We had the pit beef sandwich, a pulled pork sandwich, and fries. All were tasty. We'll definitely be back. One negative: No bathrooms! read more

Soooooo good. Nice little spot. Unique in every way. Outdoor seating so be prepared for the weather. Great chili dogs! What ever you get try "the sauce". Great spot if you have a sweet tooth! Their desserts are out of this world. read more

I have been here several times over the last few years and every time the food is always amazing. It tastes fresh and it's flavorful. The ice cream and shaved ice are so good on a hot day. The sandwiches taste yummy and the portions are really good. The owners are nice and they love to talk to the customers who sit and eat there food on the tables outside. I'm so sad when this place closes for the holidays but as the owner said they need a break every year. It just makes it that much sweeter when they open up again after the holidays. read more

Food is great, ice creme is even better. Best to call in your order and pick it up as parking is limited and the get very busy.

My husband saw the reviews of this place and we've been meaning to try it out. The first time we visited, we tried their soft serve ice cream and the Cajun Bleu burger. We all left happy. On our second visit;we ordered the Steak burger,Hawaiian burger and the Pizza burger with a side of fries. Mine was the Hawaiian burger and I usually hate things called "Hawaiian" because 1.I am Hawaiian and 2. how is a pineapple and ham considered Hawaiian but I digress....This burger knocked my Hawaiian slippers off my feet! It was sooooooo good! If you like sweet, then the mixture of the teri burger, pineapple, and ham will delight you. My husband and I HAD to have another one, so we did. Ive never asked for an extra sandwich before. I wouldnt call this healthy eating but it sure was delicious. To reiterate what others said: 1. Yup bummer, no bathroom 2. Yup double bummer, no indoor seating. 3. Yup triple bummer, their hours fluctuate seasonally. But their staff was pretty nice, their witty one liner signs that cover the walls are pretty funny and since we are a family that could care less about counting calories, we will be back here real soon. read more

You gotta give these guys a four just because they are the nicest people I have ever met. EVER.. EVAARRRR ... muwahaha. Pretty darn good food for what you pay for. Fresh eats. read more

Great burgers and ice cream. Tip: order in advance then go to the drive up window. Otherwise service takes a while and there's not comfortable seating to wait. read more

Excellent everything!! Love their milkshakes and they have malt as option which is always money. The burgers are awesome and the steak and cheese is darn good as well. It's nice to order and then sit outside. Very nice people working there also. Great little spot. read more

We stood in line for 30 mins because we heard so many good things about the food. Unfortunately the high school children they have working here clearly do not understand that you need to have a little sense of speed and take multiple orders, then call people up as the orders are complete. I'm sure the food is good, but we wouldn't know because we left since it took so long to take an order. It wasn't just myself complaining, many people in line were getting frustrated. By the way , for all the yelpers who get pissed by reviews like this one, you go there yourself on a busy night and watch how long you stay in line. read more

I grew up in Montgomery County with Kountry Kone and flavorburst ice cream. After they closed, I couldn't find anyone ice cream spot with flavorburst. After moving to Frederick, I was SO excited when my brother recommended them to me! I think the entire environment and atmosphere is excellent. Fun, family owned, sarcastically decorated little shack. My kids and I ordered four ice creams plus a milkshake to bring home for my husband. It was painfully slow. They forgot the milkshake, and after the four of us finished, I asked about it and got it shortly after. I think they could strongly benefit from removing the toppings the cover the window and open up that space to pass food to customers. Have one person take the orders while another makes it and passes it out. I'll return to give them a second chance because I love finding locally owned businesses! read more

With the island vibes inside and out, this place brings a beach paradise feel to Frederick MD. And this is coming from a guy who was born and raised in Guam! Aside from the wonderful atmosphere, the food definitely hit the spot. Burgers was cooked to perfection and the crab cake sandwich was the bomb dot com! PS loved the reggae music playing on the outside speakers! read more

So good. I am glad I listened to the reviews and went with my sister we each got a burger and then fries to share and it was delicious. Definitely returning to try more of the menu. The ice cream looked good too and they have quite a few different flavors. Worth checking out for sure! read more

Best Icecream in town! The Cape May burger is amazing. The onion rings are great aswell.

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for years. I absolutely LOVE their burgers! Especially the rowdy burger and the Hawaiian burger! I definitely recommend calling your order in ahead of time so you're not waiting for it. They get busy on Saturday and rightfully so! Great food, great service, and their desserts are amazing. Definitely the best burgers in frederick! read more

Ate here for lunch recently. My wife had a classic cheeseburger and I opted for the Cape May burger which is topped with ham and crabmeat. Both were great with amazing flavor, even in just the patties. I did feel like my meat monstrosity was a bit too ambitious. The fries were just ok. This is a landmark burger joint in Frederick for a reason, so we'll definitely be back. read more

Fantastic little trip to Key West right here in Frederick. The Mamouth burger was juicy and very tasty. Great food and service. read more

I love this place!! The Hawaiian burger is delicious and they have great fresh made macaroni salad. Wanna go again soon.

There is a short list of places where we can say we have never had a bad meal. This is on that short list. Burgers are always delicious, and the same goes for the subs. Get a milkshake or a malt to go with it - you won't be disappointed. read more
