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

Maria was an excellent waitress. My father's steak sandwich was delicious & my carne Asada plate with a side of eggs was very tasty. Asada was cooked perfectly. Guacamole and salsa were some of the best I've had in a long time! Compliments to the chef. The awesome oldies but goodies pictures & antiques make this spot so epic especially the comfy booths. I Will be back soon with the family. read more

CASH ONLY. GREAT STYLE. CHEAP DELICIOUS FOOD. Bun N Burger is the freaking greatest little diner westside of the 605. Their prices are consistent while everything else is charging more and more. Great service. Great look. Classic Americana ambiance. And the food is delicious. Classic Denver omeletes and other styles and TexMex options too. Good coffee. Delicious breakfast and lunch specials. Been going for years and never disappoints. read more

This is my #ThankfulThursday for a small business that has been present for my childhood till now. Bun N Burger offers a perfect little dining experience that takes you to a homey American past with the vinyl chairs, quirky wall signs and decor, and traditional American-Mexican diner food. You can have classic breakfasts such as omelletes or menudos, to lunches such as burgers and milkshakes. COVID has prevented their classic dine-in experience, but they still offer take-out and outdoor seating, so don't let the stay-at-home orders prevent you from eating here! read more

A blast from the past (1941) complete with a great menu, historical pictures and memorabilia. A great breakfast experience. Service was great always checking in on us to top off our coffees etc. The ambiance was perfect. Go check them out! read more

It was okay. Wife ordered the double cheeseburger & I ordered the pancakes with scrambled eggs & a side of hash browns. Double cheese burner - came out dry We waited 35 min read more

I wanted to like this place. We have so few old school diners left. When I comes to greasy spoons, I am very forgiving. I just couldn't do it here. The waitress was very short. Okay fine. No big deal. I had the steak and chilaquiles with the cottage fries. I was like eating a plate if mush. They should go with hash browns. The potatoes seemed sliced thin and boiled. They weren't brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside like good breakfast potatoes should be. The chilaquiles were tasteless mush. It didn't matter how I ordered the steak. It came well-done. I was also $20 without a drink. The place is so cool inside. I wanted to see all the pictures, but there is no way to look without hovering over people. The place really deserves better food. read more

Old school dinner vibes, good food, friendly service... make sure to bring cash as the is dinner is cash only!

This spot never fails to deliver. What I like about Bun n Burger in particular is that everything here is fresh. Their burgers are very fresh but it's the waffle fries that are unmatched here (you have to request them). The chilaquiles are the hidden gem tho. Good fast service. Cool 50's vibe. read more

Est. 1941- This is a classic old school neighborhood diner. It's about as authentic as it gets, with one of the coolest lunch counters I've seen. The building is beautiful, inside and out. Don't let the name fool you, this place does a lot more than just Burgers. They also serve some great Mexican food, breakfast dishes, salads & sandwiches and more. The Carne Asada Soft Taco with Guacamole is excellent. The homemade salsa is fantastic. We also had the burger special which comes with homemade fresh cut Waffle Fries. For $6.50, you can't go wrong. And there is nothing more refreshing than their Cucumber lemonade - it's delicious. The service here is very friendly and helpful. You can tell that the owners of this family-run business are proud of the Bun-N-Burger, and they should be. Our server is a family member and has been working here for 35 years! During the current condition, they have plenty of socially distance tables setup outside. It's a shame to see their dining room and counter top empty due to the restrictions but I'm confident that Bun-N-Burger will survive and be back at it in full swing when this is all over. There are so many things on the menu I want to try. We will definitely be back! read more

Bun-N Burger - Empty dining room during the covid-19 restrictions. - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

I really like this place. I love their breakfast all of them. Lunch is always good too And the service and servers even the dishwasher are friendly Just a good down home place read more

I like the vibe there, haven't sat in to eat but you have to walk in to pick up your food anyway. It's an old school diner with the usual old license plates and style of decor, they have booths and a counter to sit at and that is just in the front. They have a dining room on the side as well. So what I like is the waitresses they're nice and personable, very attentive. Now for the food, I've had the chilaquiles twice with potatoes and steak. Big portions of potatoes and the steak is a good size comes with two eggs and onions and I'll be honest it could be sour cream or some other white sauce. It's good tho. They are a bit of a hit and miss with the flavor/seasoning, both times it was different but not bad just would like consistency. I'll keep going back tho can't beat the prices. read more

Came for breakfast recently and loved it! The specials selection sounded really good! The decor inside the place is that of an old Americana diner, which I loved. I ordered the strawberry waffle special which came with eggs and I ordered the corned beef hash. Let me just say, the waffle was nice and soft and just the perfect amount of sweet. Not over the top like IHOP does it. If you're a fan of corned beef hash, this is a great place to get it. The crisp it just right! Overall a great place for a variety of breakfast. Only thing to note is they take cash only read more

Bun-N Burger - Burgers Near Me - Alhambra, California

One of the greatest restaurants on the face of the planet 10/10. Eat here! It's the atmosphere, food, service, owners, waitstaff, cooks everything at Bun-N-burger is perfection. It's a quintessential family-owned, small business that does American classics and So-Cal Mexican-American classics. Everything is great the waffle with strawberry compote, the vanilla shakes, and btw they have the best breakfast burritos in San Gabriel Valley. If you want the best example of the classic American Diner experience eat here. Tip well and don't waste time asking frivolous questions be ready to order because it's often packed and they work harder than anyone in town. read more

If you want just straightforward, good food, the Bun 'n' Burger, baby! It definitely has that coffee shop feel. In between bites you can spend hours looking at all the Americana on the walls! One caveat is that they only accept cash. Still, at these reasonable prices, easy peasy! read more

So sad when a cute, local place forgets the number one rule of a service based business- SERVICE!! We ordered 2 cokes when we were seated and then when it was time to order. I asked about the burger combo that comes with a coke. The server says, the combo comes with a medium coke and not the coke you have??? I didn't order a specific size coke, I just ordered a coke. I said, ok, switch my coke to medium coke ( never heard of this at a sit down restaurant, there is ever only one size). She said, I saw you take a sip, so it's too late now. I wanted to leave. They were empty at lunch time, hmm, wonder why!!. Despite staying to eat because our friend wanted to stay, my mom asked for a refill of her coke and the rude lady said. No. You don't get refills... We got refills last week. We asked her two times when her ridiculous policy changed, she really didn't want to answer. Finally said, always... jeez. Making up rules as you go it seems... So bad service, bad policies =no tip!!! I never stiff anyone but that was a ridiculous meal and completely ruined by this woman, who I am pretty sure is the owner. read more

A 50's styled diner with lots of delicious food. I had the famous Omelet special with large pieces of steak in it. Yummy time. So good. A great experience. Love this spot. Cash only ,and you get your monies worth. Menudo on Saturday and Sundays. Ill be back! read more

I made it today for an early Lunch at 10:30 a.m., they had 4-tables set-up w/umbrellas, for Shade on Valencia St-side and two tables under a canopy in the Parking-lot. Food & Service, Still Great! I had the Steak Picado. Note: Monday - Friday, Open 6:30 - 3:00p.m. Dinner 5:00p.m. - 8:00p.m. read more

Love eating at the counter. Hot coffee. Good food. Good Mexican dishes. Specials always.

This is the quintessential mom-n-pop diner and I can't believe my family has lived in this area for 40 years before trying it! The menu has all your diner favorites and lots of Mexican dishes as well. The food is delicious and plentiful and their house salsa goes perfectly with it. I love the tons of eclectic decor. It makes for a fun and fascinating experience. The only drawbacks are that it's cash-only and the service is fairly slow (I think they're short-staffed.) But I love supporting this family business and hope they stick around for a long time. read more

Great food, this restaurant was already here when I moved in 1986. And their prices are very reasonable.

Purchased Beef Tamales at BNB recently, they were delicious!! Gonna try the Chicken ones next! read more

The have been here for years! Great food. Great staff. Just remember it's CASH ONLY!

My friend has no taste buds. Probably no teeth either. He's a 50's 60's type person and said he knows a place that's good. Off we go in his 60's Cadillac to this place. I felt like we were transported back in time. He was adamant about me ordering the burger and fries and kept saying, "they're great Ronnie. " Oh geeze why am I so gullible for people's opinions especially my friend who hasn't had a decent meal in over a decade. The chili cheese burger was plain with lettuce, onions on it and came with cross cut fries. The meat on my burger was a little hard with no texture lacking the necessary enticing flavors. Don't get the chili for your burger. I've had better. Nice abundance of cross cut potatoes were good, but still lacked flavor. Perhaps if they came up with a nice seasoning for these fries. read more

The prices are cheap and the decor is cool. The burger is dry with a thin patty and fist full of lettuce. My sister got French dip, the meat looks like lunch meat from the super market. The service is really slow. Maybe the breakfast is better? read more

The only good thing they have here are the prices, that's the only reason I come here. Sometimes the food isn't hot, if I complain I know the old lady is gonna get mad, like when we ask her for more coffee, if she doesn't like her job, she should stay home or look for another job.... read more

I've been passing by here for so long I can't believe I haven't tried this place yet. I love the decor of this place the staff is super friendly. CASH ONLY! Plenty of parking at the back. California Burger: 4/5 Delicious. Guacamole guacamole. It's a well made burger. They toasted the buns. What I really like is that it came with basket fries. Steak Tacos: 5/5 WOWWW. Rice, beans, an enchilada, freshly cooked steak pieces and warm tortillas. Slathered with GUAC!! I'm in love with this dish. I'll be back to try more dishes. read more

I'm sorry, but anyone complaining about here shouldn't be commenting. For the price, and the taste, they deliver here . My wife got asada plate, daughter got the French toast plate , my son got the chorizo plate and I got the broccoli, cheese, mushroom omelet, not one single person complained. Easy 10/10 here. Make sure you order what you want and I promise they'll deliver. Don't think you're going to a high end restaurant and expecting a wagyu steak, please be more considerate. Other than that enjoy! read more

This place serves a chile verde plate that you have to try at least once. Everything I've tried here is good!

I'm gonna be honest. I really wanted to like this place, but it's just not good. I ordered the Chile Relleno. The cheese is very old. I also ordered a side of guac. It wasn't fresh, didn't have enough salt and didn't have acid in it. The color of the guac wasn't appetizing at all. read more

I have been coming to this place since I was a little kid. I love everything about it! I love the owners and the food! I think I've pretty much tried most to all items! I've never been disappointed. My mom and I continue to come here almost every weekend to eat and enjoy our time together and visiting Alicia and Vanessa! We love it here and hope you do too. read more

I wanted to try this neighborhood restaurant. It has a nostalgic look. They offer American & Mexican dishes. I ordered the Hamburger Special with fries & a drink for $5.99. I sat at the counter and asked if I could have the Burger Medium-Rare. She said yes. The Burger came cooked well done! I informed the server and showed her the beef patty. The fries were fresh and crispy. Overall, the Burger was just o.k. - Nothing special. Server did not offer a re-fill of my Diet Coke. Not worth a special trip here. ***cash only*** Rating: 2 Stars read more
