WTF!!!! I don't even know where to start with this Sloppy Joe. I've had a lot of sandwiches in my life, but this might be the best thing I've ever eaten on a bun. There's a burst of flavor in there that I genuinely can't explain -- whoever's back there cooking needs a statue erected in their honor. Absolutely epic. The beef tallow tater tots are the perfect sidekick -- crispy, rich, exactly what you want alongside that sandwich. Don't sleep on the banana pudding either. It's on a whole 'nother level of delicious. On top of the food, the two guys working the booth were outgoing, friendly, and clearly happy to be there. You can tell this crew puts genuine love and care into every meal they serve -- that's what makes a pop-up special. Only complaint: I wish they had a location in Arcadia so I didn't have to travel for it. Until then, I'll keep coming back. Highly recommend. read more

Don't forget to snag some dank pudding too They have a huge parking lot and some tables set up for some good vibes and that classic feel. Most definitely will return.

My wife and I have driven by Sloppy Buns so many times and have pointed it out to each other more than once, always saying we needed to stop in and try it. Tonight, my wife had a business meeting, and I ended up staying back, so I figured this was the perfect chance to finally give it a shot on my own. I can honestly say it did not disappoint. From the moment I walked up to order, the experience was great. The staff was warm, professional, welcoming, and patient, which immediately stood out to me. Since it was my first time there, they were kind enough to help guide me through the menu and make recommendations, which I always appreciate when trying a new place. You can tell when people genuinely care about customer service, and that was definitely the case here. I ended up ordering the Big Joe with tater tots, and I paired it with the spicy ketchup and the honey mustard BBQ. For dessert, I had the banana bread since I'm lactose intolerant. I actually didn't ask for the honey mustard BBQ at first, but it was highly recommended to me, so I decided to trust them and give it a try. I'm really glad I did, because it was incredible. I'm normally not a honey mustard person at all, so that surprised me in the best way possible. It had a great balance of flavor and ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. The Big Joe was absolutely delicious -- juicy, flavorful, satisfying, and just done right. It was one of those meals where you get so into it that you forget to stop and take pictures. In fact, it was so good that I completely forgot to take a picture of the banana bread dessert afterward. Everything just hit the spot. What I also really appreciated was that the burger didn't leave me feeling overly heavy, greasy, or gross afterward. It was filling without feeling like too much, which says a lot. I ended up sitting at the tables right outside and enjoyed the whole experience there instead of ordering through an app or taking it to go. I'm glad I did, because it made the visit feel even better. Sometimes sitting down and enjoying the food fresh in the moment just makes a difference, and that was definitely the case here. I told Arthur before leaving that I absolutely have to bring my wife next time, because she's probably going to be upset that I tried it without her. That alone should say how much I enjoyed it. Sloppy Buns has officially gone from being a place we always talked about trying to a place I'll happily go back to and recommend to others. Highly recommend checking out Sloppy Buns if you haven't already. Great food, great service, and a genuinely great first experience. read more

Sloppy Buns has a fun, laid-back pop-up feel with a lot of personality from the mustache man and his chef partner. The Western Bacon Big Joe is loaded with two cheesy smash burgers, beef bacon, crispy onion rings, fresh sloppy joe, and honey BBQ sauce. Even with all those ingredients, it worked surprisingly well together, packed with flavor without feeling overly heavy, and the quality of the ingredients stood out. The honey PB banana Goodin Puddin was also incredible and made the whole experience feel like a spot that's seriously on the rise. read more

The guys working there had excellent service, very friendly and sanitary, you can really see they care about what they are serving to their customers. Overall it was an amazing experience I will be back! read more

The taste of the sloppy Joe's is one of the best ever. Solid burger and soft bun. Big fat crispy fries with soft inside. Special sauces are pretty good too. The banana pudding was amazing. I thought it was a bit pricey, but my gf and I split one meal and the banana pudding and we were perfectly full. I highly recommend! read more

Sloppy Buns - Double Wagyu Smashburger Sooo Yummy! - American Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Very welcoming staff. Once you order give them a few moments to get your order out to you. Take your order home or enjoy it at your car. Tallow Tots- 10/10 Nice crunch and good portion. Sloppy Bun-10/10 New take on a sloppy Joe. There is still a bite and the flavor is great. I did decide to get it plain with just the cheese to fully enjoy the flavor. Sauce- 10/10 Great flavor! Honey mustard and BBQ mix that is well balanced. read more

Lately in Los Angeles, Car Washes are becoming night spots. Sloppy Buns has opened their spot at the Sherman Oaks Car Wash just east of Sepulveda and Ventura Blvd's. at 7pm every night. They offer sloppy joes with a twist and deliciously crispy and thin smash burgers. The service is quick and fast. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. It's a great spot to pick up a snack before or after the bar. Or just to grab a quick bite for dinner on school nights. Make sure to check it out! It's an experience. read more

Popped over to this spot after a haircut.. and am glad I found it. The two gents running it tonight were helpful in their recommendations and friendly. Got the Big Joe, tots, and pb banana pudding. All were absolutely solid. The big Joe had great flavor and was a unique twist on a traditional sloppy Joe. The tots were out of this world. Best tots I've had. Cajun seasoning and the Wagyu tallow made them taste delicious with a perfect crunch. Highly recommend with some bbq sauce to dip. The dessert was perfect as well. The pb wasn't too strong and perfectly balanced out the banana. 5/5, will return. read more

Friendly owner, Amazing service, answered all my questions about their menu and the food got out in a timely manner. Unique experience on a classic nostalgic childhood staple for me. Great flavor throughout my big Joe burger. Their tangy bbq sauce is great too. I will say I wish the sloppy Joe mix was hot instead of warm but this did not take away from a great experience. Their fries are amazing crispy and flavorful. Banana pudding was delicious and worth it. read more

Outstanding (only everything, LOL). You'll need to seriously adjust your expectations if you're a boomer raised on grade school cafeteria steam table versions with Hunts canned junk. I loved the combo with both smashburger patty and sloppy joe filling. Where else can you get tater tots cooked in tallow and not canola oil? Don't be fooled by the branding on the excellent banana pudding, they make that themselves from scratch too! read more

Okay I need to talk about this smashburger because I haven't stopped thinking about it since I left. Smashburger uses 100% Wagyu beef and the difference is immediately obvious. That hard sear on Wagyu fat creates this insane crust that's crispy, buttery, and so deeply savory it almost doesn't feel real. Like... this is what a smashburger is supposed to be. The flavor stayed with me through the whole meal and honestly still is. Top five things I've eaten this year, no exaggeration. The beef tallow fries? Also not messing around. Fried in actual tallow, so they have this old-school, beefy richness that vegetable oil fries will never have. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and I ate every last one without shame. This is the kind of meal that reminds you why quality ingredients matter. Nothing fancy, nothing overdone -- just really good beef cooked really well. read more

The service is great and the food is amazing! Haven't had such a great smash burger combo with fries before anywhere around the valley or LA. It was my second time coming here and it's nice they have these tables nearby to sit and eat at since I wanted to eat here this time. read more

The food was amazing. The quality of the beef is really good and doesnt have that funky smell some places do. Its a.great price for the quality for sure. The banana pudding is top notch, you have to get this thing everytime you come for sure. I definitely want to have a cheat day and go for one of their crazier burgers and see how it all tastes, but for now its delicious. Worth stopping by and seeing it for yourself. Their food stand was extremely well kept and clean. read more

Sloppy tots were huge portion and so yummy, add chopped chilis 10/10. Also got the honey banana pb pudding and it was also good

My wife and I were craving burgers and this was the highest rated in the area. I got the big joe which is a sloppy joe and burger combined, it's was honestly a unique dish that others do not offer. My wife got the sloppy dog and that was perfectly balanced with tots! The icing on the cake is that they are fired in beef tallow which i haven't had before and it was amazing. The customer service was great, I'll definitely be back again. The only downside is that they open at 7pm but they're open late! read more

Insanely good. Super smashed, perfectly crispy with the right amount of chew. One of the best smash burgers I've had in LA. They're new to Sherman Oaks, and deserve a line around the block. Hope they get it! Also the beef fried fries were insanely good. Exactly how I like them - decently seasoned with lots of crisp in all the right places. They also give you a free burger with every 8, so I'm definitely in for more! read more

The food looks amazing and taste even better! Was worth the trip beautiful area and location, definitely hit the spot after a hike. Alex and his team were amazing the service almost as good as the food so dam near perfect! read more

Sloppy Buns is my new go-to for comfort food done right. I didn't think a sloppy joe could be elevated, but somehow Sloppy Buns managed to do it. The meat was incredibly flavorful, rich, and perfectly sauced. The bun was soft but didn't fall apart, which is honestly a skill when you're dealing with this level of sauciness. It was messy in the best, most satisfying way. I also got a side of sloppy tots and it was the perfect combo. The staff was super friendly, and the food came out fast and hot. highly recommend!! read more

My family and I drove all the way from Lancaster to the Valley just to try Sloppy Buns after seeing all the 5-star reviews--and let me tell you, it absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything was amazing. The fries are cooked in tallow instead of harmful seed oils, which already sets them apart, and the burgers were made with top-quality meat. Every topping tasted fresh and high quality. You can really tell they care about what they're serving. The service was fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Alex especially went above and beyond to make our first visit a great experience. We ordered a sloppy joe, four different smash burgers, and two desserts--and every single item was incredible. From the sauces to the desserts, this place is hands down the best within a 200-mile radius. If you're even thinking about getting a smash burger, this is THE spot. Easily worth a two-hour drive. Highly recommend! read more

Not my type of food from the looks of it. I came here and the food was very greasy. Wouldn't call what they have a delicacy but to each to their own. Service was not horrible but for the price its mediocre food would rather have in n out read more

Highly recommend Sloppy Buns. I was in the area, mind you I live in OC and had to come check this place out. The two gentleman were very kind and walked me through the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, from the Big Joe, to the chili cheese fries, and their dessert. I am not a big fan of dessert, but whatever they made and recommended me may have changed my views. If you're driving on Ventura BLVD, make sure to stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more
