Decided to give Bun Huggers a try since it reopened. Food was pretty good and they had a "TouchTunes" jukebox which is a nice touch. Bartender was good and attentive. read more

Food was not good. Ordered a cheese burger and fries. Got a a very well done hamburger (no cheese). It did not taste good. It was dry and salty. The fries were decent. Was given a near empty ketchup bottle-on first squeeze it went sideways-what a mess. I used their super thin and napkins to clean the table. Service slow-had to go looking for my food. Ambiance was cool. Staff were very nice. Not a fan. read more

Yeah, it really sucks to come visit back home. To talk up a favorite memory and childhood place only to be extremely disappointed. I ordered 4 burgers, 3 kids and 1 adult burger. Basically I took my kids here. We were told it'd be about 30 minutes for food because they were backed up. I figured that wasn't such a big deal. Totally fine. But, jesus. I MEAN GOOD. GRIEF. We waited 45 minutes. I could see my burger sitting in the hot hold, while other numbers got called. We were 110, 116 got called, then 115, then 113. So I went to check. When I asked if maybe we got skipped he said, no I'm waiting on the kids burgers. So the burger sitting and waiting was mine. I said, ok. Sat down and watched the window. ‍ Ten minutes passed before our number was called. Thank goodness, I go up grab our stuff. When I noticed there was no ranch on the side like I asked for, pretty sure was charged for, the expediter said yes, I'll get it. Cool. I took the food to the table and grabbed the ranch. Instantly the avacados I asked for on one of the kids burger was put on another kids burger. He was fine with it but had already taken a big bite out of it. I took my daughter's burger up to get fixed, no biggie. I couldn't hide my snarky comment when the guy said, yeah sorry for the wait. I said, "I know 45 minutes on 3 kids burgers is f*ucking ridiculous." Grabbed the burger, sat down got kiddos situated and finally picked my burger up. A large party just walked in the door during all this. I watched them order and tried to eat my burger. Instantly I noticed my burger bun was hard on top. The bottom bun was soggy. Mustard and ketchup was dripping out. I tried. I really did try to eat it but I couldn't. I spent more time grabbing the napkins to clean my burger up but I finally set it to the side. I checked on my kiddos. Their burgers were fresh and good. So I figured I'm not gonna lose my cool. I went up to the register and when I saw a girl come up to it I asked for a refund for just my burger. She said, what was wrong with it. I said, the bun was soggy on the bottom and rock hard on top. The mustard and ketchup killed it sitting in the window while we waited for the kids burgers. Which were good, so I'd just like a refund for mine. Under her breath she said something, I asked her what? She said, "Well, a family came in so it's not our fault." A family came in so it's not our fault. What the heck were we? A family of four. It was me my kids and my nephew. I am at my wits end trying to keep the kiddos entertained all day, driving from Ft. Worth on my own for a week. I just wanted to experience some nostalgia and share it with them but another family seemed more important. What happened to the food service industry? Own it. We messed up. We are sorry. She did offer to remake it, in a weirdly offended way, "You want us to remake it or like what?" I said, "Nooo... it took 45 minutes for 3 kids burgers. I dont want to wait again. I'm good." In all, after tax, apparently... my burger costed 6 dollars... which made no hecken sense. I spent 69 dollars there... on 4 burgers. 3 edible. F that place. Those kids have ruined it. What's bad is, it really didn't seem busy when we walked in. People who came in after us got their food. read more

Bun Huggers - Too much mustard had just killed the bun.... - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Food was alright. Chili fries were a very small portion for the price. We ordered Burgers that were too well done. Service was super slow. You order through a kiosk that takes too long finding your likes and dislikes. No manager to talk to.... Tables and booths were dated and uncomfortable to dine on. Overall would not recommend to people for the price of the food we received. Honestly Carls Jr burgers would have been better and cheaper. read more

BunHuggers has changed!!. After going to both their locations for many many years, my visit yesterday was not pleasant. The meat in the burger was either old or very poor quality. Neither my wife or I were able to eat more than a quarter of the burger. Wings and Tenders were great however we came for the burgers and will not return. read more

The PB&J burger I had was really good while my coworker ordered the Patty Melt which also looked very good. We shared an order of fries and after adding a couple of soft drinks the bill was over $40, kind of pricey for a place where you order from a kiosk. But still the food was good and the atmosphere is nice. It looks like the bar is being renovated. The girls came over to help me put the jalapenos on the side when ordering from the kiosk because you can't do it from the app but they were very nice and got the order right. read more

Used to love this place. The fried zucchini was the best. Stopped in to grab some zucchini this evening. Very excited for the zucchini. Let me tell you, it is no longer the amazing, crazy good, tasty rounds. It is now boring, sub-par, zero flavor sticks. The same sticks that you can get at Peter Piper Pizza. Are you kidding me Bun Huggers!?!?!? I have littles and that is the only barely edible thing they have besides pizza. The condiment bar also gone, along with the yummy pickles. Why change something so good? Sadness. Edited to add a picture: I was super disappointed before, and after getting home and turning on the lights, I realized just how far into the crapper Bun Huggers has gone. Pictured is the hotdog we had ordered. No wonder my son would not eat it, and this kid is obsessed with hot dogs. Just wow! I will make sure management/owner is aware of these issues. If they continue like this, they will not be in business very much longer. Bring back the old-timey tasty food. read more

Not the worst not the best, they offer burgers & sandwiches but I didn't realize I should've asked if my sandwich would be warm, instead I had the most disappointing sandwich, it was cold & the bread was hard, I only hate half of it. The cashier was nice but you go pick up your food at the counter which is fine, but for the price they charge I would've thought they'd bring your things to you, and all of the cutlery & cups are plastic only, which again for the price you pay is unexpected. We only visited the restaurant portion so maybe the bar side is nicer, not sure if we'll be back to try it though. read more

Been awhile since I was here. This used to be my favorite place. No more. They completely redid the menu. No more hugs. No more condiment bar. No more watching them make the burgers The Burger wasn't the best. . Even the zucchini is different. The restaurant interior still has the walls covered with signs and such. Don't think I will be back. read more

After eating here yrs ago, was looking forward to stopping in on my way to las vegas. Sadly, the place has changed. Burger was good but nothing special. Wasn't cooked as well as i like (ordered well but got med well) didn't have time to have it cooked more as i was on a time schedule. Service was friendly and quick. Ice machine not working and had to go into bar every time you wanted to refill ice for your drink. read more

I am so sad. We have come to Bun Huggers off and on for over 30 years but this last visit will be our last. It is NOT the same as it used to be and it is VERY pricey for mediocre at best food. The burgers are no longer cooked over an open flame. They're grilled and very bland. Their fries are poor and the oil used was old. I used to love the zucchini but it's completely tasteless now. We regretted our decision to stop here. We paid $50 (!!) for a burger with mandatory fries and a soda. Crazy expensive for a bland taste. We will not be back and feel like we lost a local treasure. read more

Hard to believe I first visited this place 40 years ago. Nostalgic ambiance and existing wooden tables still fill the place giving it an old feeling. No more make your own burger toppings bar which was their big draw and one size only patty. Now menu featuring wedge salad, chicken sandwichs, and French fry variations. Onion rings, regular burger and chili cheese dog this visit between wife and I came to almost $30 w no drinks. As another reviewer stated I'm not sure why you should feel compelled to tip someone 20% for just doing there job of cashier or cook. There were 3 employees and only 3 tables during visit but plastic utensils and condiments cups empty. Never saw any tables bussed. Cashier was too young to sell me a beer so I brought a draft next door. read more

We just pulled into Flagstaff from Tucson AZ. Having been born and raised here in Flagstaff Bunhuggers was a local favorite for hamburgers. Today it did not disappoint. Had a burger and onion rings hubby had a chili cheese dog. You order your food at counter and they call your number when it's ready. . Place is clean still rustic. Great place for a great low key hamburger. read more

Bun Huggers - Hamburger an order of onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

A place I visited many years ago and was so excited to revisit for lunch. Food was mediocre, and pricey for what it was. Probably should have gone to In-N-Out for better food and affordability. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing and worth every penny! The size of the burgers and just how flavorful they are make every bite an experience. The service was phenomenal, the bartender was very personable and checked in with every person showing great care and appreciation for their customers. read more

Over priced and overcooked. Bunhuggers has been a longtime favorite (we've been coming here for over 40 years) but after our visit on 1/20/25 for lunch I'm prety sure I won't be going back. The first thing we encounterd is that the "fixins' bar" (tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, peppers and a wide variety of condiments) has been removed and was replaced with the order/cashiers station. This had always been one of the big draws of this place. The menu is unrecognizable from what was offered for decades and the pictures of the various burgers and sandwiches are not at all representative of what you actually get. We ordered a couple of burgers (about $15 each), an order of fries, an order of onion rings and a couple of sodas. Total price $50 including tip. I ordered a California Burger with bacon and avocado. The burger was small (and I mean REALLY small) and so over cooked as to be hard to chew. There were a couple of slices of bacon but I had to remove the large mound of shredded iceburg lettuce to find the miniscule shmear of avocado. My wifes burger, the "Pepper Hug" was marginally better but was also overcooked and as small in diameter as a basic McDonald's cheeseburger. The fries were just ok but the onion rings were overcooked to the point of being inedible. What a disappointment. read more

This costed us $95..... in what world is everything separated at checkout? shouldn't the burger come with fries if it's already $14-$16? Burgers were good but not worth the price. read more

Great place for good food and fun atmosphere Food made fresh to order and able to be eaten nice and warm

Been coming here since a kid in the early 2000's. Stopped by on my recent trip to flagstaff and it was terrible. Service was awful I wanted to shake the girl at the register to see if I could get her to wake up. Buns were ice cold and hard. No more veggie burger which was my girlfriend's favorite. Menu took a huge downgrade. Sad to say this but that's my last time at one of old favorite burger places. read more

Excellent service and the food was delicious. The new management is doing an excellent job and the kitchen manager made sure each and every customer was satisfied. Definitely will be a routine stop for us every time we're in Flagstaff. read more

I had high hopes for Bun Huggers because it's been in Flagstaff for a really long time and everyone says it's amazing. They were wrong. The food took a really long time to come out and when it did, it was very underwhelming. The meat was dry and had no seasoning. I got the hula burger and it was not worth $14. Please note this cost doesn't include a side. My friend got the cheesy fries and they were dry, chewy, and cold. I don't know how it was all three, but it was. By the time we got the cheesy fries the nacho cheese on top was already congealed. It was bad. The best thing about this place is the topping bar where you have unlimited access to lettuce. The ambiance is definitely of old dive bar quality. Tables are wooden and have graffiti all over. I would not return. read more

Place is good, good burger, but honestly just not worth the price IMO, it is good and I do like supporting local places, but lower prices just a tad guys read more

Haven't been in awhile - not sure why. Went for lunch last week (Wednesday) and noticed the "new" ordering process - then the manager told us we could order full menu in the bar as well... let's go! Bartender took our drink & food order - burger in a bowl (aka lettuce wrapped) and burger with just cheese and tomato. Food came out as burger on bun and burger with various sauces on it. We told her that the burgers weren't what we ordered and her comment was "what do you want me to do?" We asked that the one burger be put in a bowl (lettuce wrapped) and we would wipe the sauces off of the other burger - she then added "I don't work back there it's not my fault". She then told us we were rude and we had an attitude! There were even several of her apparent "regulars" across the bar that she then went and smacked talked with about us. Talked to the manager who asked if he could comp the lunch - and we said it's not about the money, it's about letting him know what's going on in his establishment. Food actually was decent, love that it is local, but won't be back because of the attitude of the bartender! Too bad cuz we are daily lunch out people. Her service was really bad!!!! read more

The best burger in Flag. Well ran by good people. The beef is top notch! The interior was just remodeled and looks great!

Great hamburgers with all the fixins. Generous portions. I had the hamburger and french fries which were nice and crisp. The gentleman who waited on us was polite. Food was served quickly. read more

haven't been to Bun Huggers in over 20 years, and after "dining" there last night I remember why, the food is overpriced and overcooked and dry, they were out of fries and onion rings and the buns were ice cold and it took forever and it cost $55, needless to say Im not going back, read more

I really hate to say this, but this is just such a bust and I'm sure lives off of tourism at this point. I worked here for a year when I went to NAU and it was a fun place but to see the prices go up to $13.99 for a bacon & cheddar that hasn't changed since, would explain why the locals don't eat here. Still has a nice char and the taste is consistent, but no one wants a 1/3 lb patty cooked well done for that price. Anyways keeping 2 stars for you because that consistency is nice and the food has a good taste and I took 3 away because you are simply taking advantage of people with your location with subpar food, so much so that when asked and employee agreed it's for our-of-towners. $78 for a bacon cheddar, double patty lil hug, 2 fiesta hugs, a fried zucchini, and side fries at fast food quality. read more

Bun Huggers - Don't expect anything to be above average - Burgers Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

My wife and I were looking for a place for a late lunch. As our car was packed with our belongings, we didn't want to stray too far from it. As bun huggers was next-door to our hotel, we picked this. I am happy to say that we picked wisely! Although there was a cast of characters at the bar, they were all friendly, cheerful, and pleasant! My wife ordered the little hugger while I chose the patty melt. My wife and I split an order of onion rings. The dishes came out quickly & piping hot. The bartender knew her way around the bar, making my wife an excellent mudslide while I enjoyed a couple Samuel Adams. Overall, this place ranked fairly high for being just a local joint. You're certainly worst places we visited in the past. If you were happening through Flagstaff, looking for a solid burger, this would be the spot! read more

Chicken sandwich came with bits of beef. Cross contamination isn't cool. I dont eat beef. But had to that day lmao Food took over an hour to get. Hot chocolate is just water. Food was lack luster. Tasted really burned. Won't be back for sure. Too much $ for such disgusting food. read more

I have been going to Bun Huggers since I was in college in the mid 80's. This was truly the best burger in Flagstaff. I walked in two weeks ago and immediately noticed the new menu. When I asked the cashier about the Big Hug burger, she said they don't have them anymore and the burgers are all 6oz and not ala carte any longer. She also said there was no wood fired grill anymore that it had been replaced by a cooktop. The condiment bar was gone, I'm sure COVID was to blame. We ordered our food and drinks and we reported that the soft drinks were flat. The C02 was empty and no one really knew how to change it, because we never did get a carbonated beverage. The food arrived and it was just ok. Nothing special. The inside was the same as the 80's, but with the mediocre food it seemed very tired and in need of a total refresh. I think that the wood crate seating works great with the wood grill and the smell of burgers cooking, but it is not a great match for the new steel cooktop. The original sign still hangs outside that says charcoal broiled hamburgers. I don't anticipate ever going back there as I will be searching for the new best burger in Flagstaff as a replacement. So long Bun Huggers, you will be missed. read more

Food was good, a bit overpriced I thought. This place seems like it could be a hot spot like others have said , maybe at night?I was there for lunch. No table service is understandable due to cost that is why I thought food was a bit high, maybe some really good "specials" would help them fill place up? read more

From start to finish, much like a Disney Star Wars spin off, this eating experience was a pure disaster. It will live in my mind in infamy. Maybe I need to take some of the blame for how it all turned out. I proved to be a foolish consumer. It all started when we arrived hungry, thinking in 30 or so minutes we would have our food. Foolish thinking. Why would we expect a burger joint to cook and have our food out in a reasonable amount of time? My bad. Next, we all ordered different things, assuming they would have the ability to correctly make our burgers. Foolish. Foolish. More than half of our orders were wrong. You wanted bacon, you got an egg. You want pepperjack, nope, Swiss for you. You want a bun, hm mmm, you get sourdough. You want buffalo and BBQ wings, nope, you just get buffalo, but the cook did offer to put BBQ sauce on top. Advice from this foolish consumer, everyone order the same thing. This will save you so much hassle. Luckily my husband went up to help them put sandwiches together. Let's talk about the fries. Foolish of me to think fries would be served hot. Again, high expectations, my bad. And somehow, they were able to create hallow fries. Crispy outside, nothing but air on the inside. Yes gross, but impressive. We watched as two groups requested refunds and left. Part of me envied them, but I had been in the fight too long to just give up. All I can say is the company was good, but the service, food, atmosphere, attitude of employees, cleanliness, and overall experience was lacking. But it probably was my fault. read more

After a 2 hour drive to flagstaff a burger was the best idea to satisfy our hunger. I had the Texas burger with blue cheese... sooooo good! It came on Texas toast and the blue cheese added the perfect flavor. They have different burger options as well as hot dogs. Family and kid friendly. Service was great. You order up front and then wait for your number to be called. read more

Walked in and it was not busy at all(this worried me) but I was already there so let's give it a go. Ordered a bacon burger and fries. Went and sat down, after looking around, I thought the atmosphere was pretty cool. Has an old school feel with a mixture of booths and wooden benches. The burger was charbroiled and really tasty, fries were impressive as well. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that a burger and fries(no drink) was $22. To me that's a bit steep for a burger but it was really good. read more
