Old school diner. Food was great and very affordable. Burgers are a winner. It's like stepping back to the 40's read more

simply never disappoints. Very good food all around and the staff are incredibly nice.

Despite looking short staffed and busy, I was in and out of the restaurant within 5 minutes with my order to go. I got the 1/2 stack of pancakes (3 pieces) with 2 eggs and 2 bacon. Food is what you'd expect from a diner, no frills, everything was solid but it didn't blow my mind. My appetite is smaller than the average American but I was able to finish the while plate no problem, the pancakes aren't as fluffy nor dense as other restaurants. This establishment is cash only so come prepared. The only issue I had is the menu said my order would be 8.95 before tax, but was told my total was 10.95... something doesn't add up. Regardless, it's still good value. read more

Just returned from having breakfast. Very hostile staff Had coffee with my omlette egg white (xrta charge) and on my 3 refill ( very small cup) counter waitress advised that was my last or she'd have to charge me for another cup. What a bummer. Whatever good will this place had on my arrival vanished with the scowl and attitude as well as the policy on refills. If this was a huge cup..maybe I could understand but a very small cup at a breakfast spot ...no way!! That was my 1st and VERY LAST visit Maybe a smile and a cheery good morning might have helped but .... BTW. This venue was not crowded and it's obvious why.... read more

What a wonderful experience! Cute vibey diner that's been here for ages and this is the first time I dined?!! I really need to visit these local restaurants more before they close down like "dinner on main". The ladies here are like your old aunties, traditional diner vibe and homey. I'd say anything you have your heart on here for ahead and order it. It's not going to be the best thing in the world but it'll be good and hearty! Can't wait to go back to try more items! Coffee was great too! read more

I love this neighborhood cafe/diner. It is one of my go to breakfast stops right before work.m to pick up an egg/bacon sandwich. Love that you can call it in and it's ready by the time when I arrive. Pro tip - bring your cash ... it is cash only! read more

Classic diner food, fun themes, and great price. This is a family run restaurant with owners who have dedicated their lives to serving the community. I love their breakfast burritos, but you can't go wrong with the pancakes either. Remember to bring cash. read more

What a charming place! It's so cute inside with all sorts of decor to look at. So many vintage signs on the walls. Service was excellent, the staff is very friendly and sweet. We ordered the club sandwich and BLT. Both items were delicious and exactly what you would expect from a diner. Great diner coffee as well! It was out first time and we look forward to coming back! read more

A friend of ours recommended to us Bun N Burger he and his wife say the food is really good and restaurant have a classic theme from many generations things you don't see anymore. Our friends tell us it's CASH ONLY bring cash or you have to walk two block to the CVS to get cash at the ATM. Many people come to Bun N Burger to have breakfast or lunch they enjoy the food. We step in the restaurant it feel like going back in time then waitress show our table and also hand us the menu. We were looking at the menu and decided what to order my wife order the chorizo plate and waffle and decided to order the Bun N Burger omlette comes with toast. The waitess brought the food it looks so good including my Bun N Burger omlette I took a bite the omlette was very favorable with the steak and onion,green pepper I enjoy it and also I like is the home potato very good especially the guacamole on top the omlette. My wife enjoy her chorizo plate because it wasn't greasy she enjoy it. She also enjoy her waffle with strawberries on top. We need to come back again. read more

I've gone here a few times and so far I haven't been disappointed but I wouldn't say I ever crave it so that's why I took a star away. I wouldn't drive out of my way to come here but I do enjoy coming here once in a while because it is convenient. Chilaquiles are decent but different from what I've had in the past. It is not bad but tastes more like nachos to me lol. I also tried the michaca which was pretty good. Service is great and the decor is definitely vintage. Overall I'd say it's a great place to grab a bite if you are in the area but not somewhere to drive out of your way. It is cash only so make you sure you have cash on you lol. read more

First and Foremost this place is CASH ONLY. I've always seen this place on main and have always wanted to give it a try. I was able to dine in today and of course I had to get the bun n burger special. I got a simple cheeseburger that came with fries and a drink. The burger was good and your typical char broiled burger. The patty was thin but also large enough to fill up the burger. There is thousand island sauce, onions, and tomato also on the burger. The fries were cooked well and reminded me of cafeteria fries you'd get back when you were in school. Service is ok, but I'm sure being understaffed is a problem everywhere these days. I don't have high expectations on service either. If you're the type of person who wants every need catered to, you won't get it here. The space looks small from the street but it is a very large space inside. The inside takes you back to the 40s-50s with memorabilia decorated on the walls. Overall, this was a solid diner spot to get a burger. I'm glad an establishment of historic nature is still here. I hope they continue to be in business and will try to come support when I'm in the mood for a sit down diner style burger. read more

Bun-N Burger - Bun n burger special- cheeseburger, fries, and a drink - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

Amazing food at great prices. Sunday vibes are very chill and calm. The service staff always are sure to check in on you before, during, and after your meal. "I love this place!" - My 7-year-old. "Dad, this place deserves 5 reviews. I'm always so full when we leave " - My 9-year-old. Needless to say, definitely a family restaurant that has been a staple of the Alhambra community for a good reason. My rec is definitely the menudo on Saturdays and Sundays, it always hits the spot (and can cure the night before's ailments ). Bring the fam and cash (cash only) and be sure to tip well! read more

Bun n burger has been around since 1941! When you walk in you feel like you stepped back in time. A lot of old school memorabilia. A classic diner with very good food. Be advised, it's cash only. My favorite dish here is the chorizo and eggs but everything I have tried has been very tasty. The food and service were excellent. read more

Lady took our phone order sounded grumpy and was very rude. I ordered a few items and wanted to try a few more things but she was so rushy that I just wanted to get it over with. Even when we came inside to pay and pick up, she just seemed so unhappy. I won't come here again. read more

We sat outside this morning for breakfast. It appears this place is a hit with the locals and older adults. We were for an hour and noticed quite a few walking over or with friends to dine in. Service was great!!! Ordered the steak omelet and bf had a burger. My omelet was a good portion and came with potatoes. The cucumber lemonade was tasty ! Pricing is really reasonable here. Breakfast for 2 was $30. They offer many options on the menu. Would be interested in trying more breakfast options or lunch / dinner. Cash only !!! read more

Phenomenal breakfast!! Found this place while traveling and it is a true find! The egg enchiladas are the best breakfast i have ever had, and I go out to eat often. Cash only but extremely affordable. Service is friendly and quick. Can't wait to come here for lunch. Also, the memorabilia and old school diner look can't be beat. You need to go here!! read more

Retro and old school that's Bun-N-Burger. This location has been here for many years. The food quality here is good, not great. They are known for their hamburgers, but I feel the meat has changed over the years. In 2021, the meat doesn't seem fresh. It seems frozen. They have added other items like Mexican food, along with menudo which is okay. The building itself is cool, and retro. The service is still friendly, but the restaurant itself has lost its shine. Alhambra has changed over the years along with a new population that likes different types of food. read more

This place is just the best! Everything was well under control from the moment you come in, there was a sign to let us know which door to use, they let us know to use the bucket to put our umbrella in. The Hostess immediately sat us in our booth and she was so pleasant! Everyone was! I loved how they knew when we needed service and weren't overly attentive, though I over analyze my surroundings sometimes when I am just so absolutely enchanted and I occasionally confused them when I would look at them and they would think I need them. My bad. This place was just so heavenly! There was something to look at and things to learn. There is so much history in one little building. I haven't even gotten to the food! The food was incredibly delicious! I ordered the Hawaiian burger, which was hard to decide because of their wide range of varieties of food. It wasn't crazy, either. Just enough to give you options to want to come back for more! This burger was out of this world! I did add bacon and grilled onions, though, and those onions were cooked to perfection! Oh, my... I was not ashamed to eat with gusto, I'm telling you, that burger was made with quality ingredients, including the best ingredient of all, love! I'm not sure if it was a bad or good omen, but as soon as I said we should become regulars at this place, the power went out. Now, as I have mentioned before, it had been raining and it had been raining hard. Now, this building as a plaque suggests, was built in 1938, so we thought that's why the power went out... but it was actually a power outage that affected the neighborhood. The reason why I think it could be a good omen was because it really set the mood. It went from super loud and busy, at least that's how it was in my head, to very calm and soothing. Once the people who were talking politics left, it was the best experience I've had in a long time. I kind of want to suggest having it dim there. Maybe add dim lights? It just really calmed everyone. It was pleasant. Anyway, this was a fantastic place! We really enjoyed our food, we enjoyed the service, we enjoyed the ambiance, everything was top notch! The best part of all? Our meal and drinks were under $30! How insane is that?! Oh! The fries I have to mention the fries! They were the most delicious fries I've had! Cooked to perfection! Crispy on the outside soft and warm on the inside! Salted just the way I like it. Some of them were so crispy, they were crispy even when I had them soaking in the burger juices. Ooh... those burger juices. Okay, I need to end this at some point. I could go on. Just one more thing. My boyfriend devoured his steak sandwich even though it had tomatoes. He despises tomatoes and forgot to ask for it without them. He said it was so good, he even enjoyed it with the tomatoes, that says a lot! This place is just so great! I highly recommend it! I love the tight ship they run here, everyone means business here, as far as getting the job done, but they're still hospitable and can crack a joke. I loved them! They're good people! I wish I could give higher than 5 stars! read more

Some of my earliest memories from the late 1950-60s are being seated in a booth with my brother and parents. The folks would always get a good laugh when the waitress asked me: "Soup or Salad young man?" and I'd enthusiastically say: "Yeah, Super-Salad!", because I thought that was what she was asking... I was born in old Alhambra hospital and no longer live over the border in San Gabriel. But I will stop-in when next I visit the area, I remember this institution before the nearby Jack in the Box opened. I decided to check on a whim, and I'm so happy to see you guys are still around and not displaced by some chain outlet. read more

Love this spot! Came on a Sunday morning and there was no wait, which was a plus! Our waitress seated us right away and took care of us super quickly. She brought our drink order super quickly as well! I ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and burger was cooked perfectly! The bread was toasty and the meat was cooked great. The fries were waffle fries, which were good! There was plenty of street parking. The restaurant has a cute old school diner vibe! Would definitely come back! read more

I've been coming here for a while and it was exceptional. However, today I as the day I decided to take my business elsewhere. Ordered my food waiting over 25 minutes, the place isn't that packed. I received my food and the order was wrong . I decided not to eat since I don't want to wait any longer for my food. The server was really upset and said I have to pay for the food. She stated since it's already been made I still have to pay for it. I told her forget it, my family didn't touch the food and I walked out. Customer service was terrible, this is a small mom and pop establishment and customers should be treated nicely. Oh well, burgers and more here I come. A simple apology would have cured my "Hangry" attitude. read more

Well, this past week or so has been particularly unpleasant. My energy level was plummeting most of the week, and my overall comfort level also has been falling. My appetite has somewhat decreased and I need to sleep during the DAY... has increased. What the heck?!?! So this weekend, I woke up to a hankering for pancakes but no desire to make my own and I opted to try a local in Alhambra by the name of BUN N BURGER OMG, my pancakes were FANTABULOUS...umm they offered eggs with them, so I decided to go with SCRAMBLED, and they were amazing! Yum! I went to the fridge and retrieved my knotts Berry Farm blueberry syrup and WOW, amazing. Thanks, everyone! I'll be back for sure! read more

I love going here for breakfast. But, I have to say that I was a little disappointed this morning. Coffee was super watered down, I asked for creamer and it made it worse. I asked for another cup and put creamer, then as I was about to drink my coffee I noticed there was a bug. I asked for water and the cup was dirty inside and out. I let the waitress know she picked up the coffee cup and water and walked away without an apology or acknowledgment. read more

Bun-N Burger - My Dad happy with his delicious Steak sandwich! - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

Note that it is CASH ONLY (which had no influence on my review but you should definitely know). ATMOSPHERE, 5 stars. To be honest, I went in because I love the neon sign out front. But I'm always game for a retro dining experience with counter service and olde-tIme memorabilia and knick-knacks to look at. FOOD, 4 stars. Because of my eating schedule, I had neither bun nor burger -- but breakfast. I ordered the bacon, cheddar, and guacamole omelette, which came with the meat and cheese inside and the guac on top. I was impressed that they use real eggs and not carton eggs for the omelettes (you could definitely see where white and yolk had not been perfectly whisked together), but the bacon was soft and chewy inside instead of crispy and there was a pretty big chunk of avocado in the guac was too hard to eat. The potatoes had a nice layer of browning from the grill but the rest was too soggy for my taste. I got the English muffin grilled instead of toasted, and the grill-side was crunchy and buttery while the other side remained soft. Even if they don't ask which you'd prefer, request it grilled instead of toasted. You wont be sorry! SERVICE, 3 stars. I may revise this upon a future visit, but this is based only on today, which was my first visit. There was a crazy long wait -- a good 45 minutes for my food. To her credit, my server warned me that there were a couple of big groups seated in the room next door that had just ordered, and that the cooks go in order of the tickets. I wasn't in a hurry so I said OK and didn't really mind, but I saw another customer get pretty agitated and threaten to leave. Even when the servers would say "They're working on it now," it was a little hard to believe because the food still took long after that. I did appreciate how apologetic they were and how they warned me up front (and gave me mustard without having to ask!). If I'd been in any hurry, though, I would've had to go somewhere else. read more
