Bub's NOLA

Bub’s Nola is a throwback joint! It has a very lively 80’s arcade feeling interior with pinball machines in the back. I was really craving a juicy burger after being out in city park during the day and appreciated that this shop stays open later than 6pm. I ordered an Impossible Rodeo Burger with shoestring fries. Although it was not spicy at all after being described as such, it was a fantastic burger. A real “Americana experience” With indoor and outdoor seating, this is a great joint for families, solo eaters, friends, and date nights. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and musical selection as well. My main point of improvement is: - Burgers are on the more expensive side, for these prices, they should include fries.

Best Burger spot, hands down! I ate here a few days ago after visiting new orleans from California while driving out here fr dropping my daughter off to start College out there and i googled a coop spot to eat and ran across this place. That Pineapple Jack burger was 🔥 and them brussel sprouts was so darn good!

Such a great find! (Thanks Goog) we really loved this spot. First off, lots of parking behind the store so easy to come in. The service was prompt and the prices are on the low end. It was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a year. Water is free which is such a nice touch and the sodas come in glass bottles or cans, which just makes them taste better. Can’t wait to come back and try the Brussels sprouts!

Cool, quaint spot that the locals appear to frequent. I felt it was a little over priced for a burger, but gave it a try. I like that the burgers were not just your standard burger, but was looking for better beef patties. I landed on a hot sausage burger that was delish and a beef burger, too. The service was friendly.

I could eat at this place like every other day if I’d lived here. We had pin ball machines and some retro arcades. There was swag for purchase and we had games on the tv’s. It was a smaller joint with options matched to smash burgers (better and way better priced) and sides which my wife and I had a couple micro burgers and cheese fries for lunch, just right portion size, which was just before our long walk through town. I’m sure if we had planned on a dinner venture, we would have gotten some bigger portions. I totally dig this place. Easy to find and being 1 pm, it wasn’t hard to find parking on the road side.

My sister and I caught the wrong bus and ended up walking someplace close. The food was decent, but the prices on the burgers are a little high for such thin patties. Though, after one burger, my sister ordered another (and that has to count for something!) I do not desire to go back, but I would not be perturbed if it was the only burger joint in walking distance. ( Sorry about the photo of the hot sausage sandwich, I was starved) 2 burgers, 1 hot sausage sandwich, and a side of fires totaled approximately 41 dollars.

Bub’s NOLA: A Smash-Burger Worth Seeking Out On a recent trip to New Orleans in November, we told our son—our designated tour guide for the visit—that we wanted to eat where the locals eat. For lunch, he took us to Bub’s NOLA, a small burger joint on Bank Street, and it did not disappoint. Bub’s is a no-frills spot with limited seating inside, but they have picnic tables outside, which made for a great place to enjoy our meal. Ordering is simple—you place your order inside, they call your number, and you pick up your food fresh and hot. And let me tell you, hot and tasty is exactly what we got. The burgers here are smash-burger style, thin with crispy edges and packed with flavor. My wife went with the Bub Burger, a classic double patty with grilled onions, American cheese, B&B pickles, and Bub’s sauce. Every bite was well-balanced, rich, and satisfying. My son opted for the Bleu, You’re My Boy! burger, stacked with Bleu cheese crumbles, bacon, buffalo sauce aioli, red onion, and lettuce. The combination of the funky cheese, smoky bacon, and spicy aioli was spot on—bold but not overwhelming. I decided to take a gamble and ordered the Peanut Bubber, which got a few skeptical looks from my family. It’s a double patty with American cheese, crispy bacon, and a generous slathering of creamy peanut butter. I know it sounds strange, but the mix of savory beef, salty bacon, and nutty peanut butter actually worked. It was an unexpected but enjoyable twist on a burger. To round out our meal, we shared the fries, which were thin, crispy, and served hot. I also tried the fried Brussels sprouts tossed in a sweet Sriracha sauce—perfectly crispy with a great balance of sweet heat. Bub’s delivers big flavors, fresh ingredients, and solid prices, making it a great local burger joint worth checking out. If you’re craving a well-crafted smash-burger in NOLA, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

I couldn't wait for my husband to try this. I was so excited building up to this experience. I already tried the burger at work for lunch but wanted my husband a guru of burger to try it out. We walked into a .small comfortable atmosphere. I was hopefully expecting better customer service for such a small business.....Just to be clear, I was not treated rudely. The hostess had no expression or excitement, just a blank stare. I can't remember if she asked me what my order was?? My enthusiasm was killed. Needless to say the burger was good, they used a very curious sauce. The onion rings were good, and I wasn't offered any ice for my drinks again. There was no warm customer service, so I didn't ask either. We spent $44 and some change for 2 burgers fries onion ring and 2 chilled drinks. Tell me what you think 🤔

Man, I love this place. Cozy little house with booths surrounded by arcade games. Very nostalgic. Ordered your food at the window and they call your name when it's ready. I love the Bubs Burger, a double smash patty with cheddar and bread and butter pickles and bubs sauce. It's perfectly greasy and fills me up but doesn't make me hate myself full. EXTRA PICKLES! Honestly these are what make the burger. No booze on the menu but you can get your food to go and head next door to Banks Street Bar, which has indoor and outdoor seating. Really great vibes. Be forewarned that these are smash burgers. If that's not your thing, then idk if you'll like this place. Staff is very friendly. We even got a little patty for our dog!

This spot has a cool arcade vibe, complete with arcade games and the Fallout video game playing on the TV. It's a bit small inside, but that just adds to the atmosphere--after all, as the saying goes, the smaller the club, the bigger the party. Upon entering, you'll quickly reach the ordering window. The service was fast, and the staff was patient as I decided on my order. For my first visit, I went with the double patty burger with cheese, bacon, and BBQ sauce, accompanied by a glass bottle of Barq's root beer. The burger was delicious, and the fries were fresh and perfectly seasoned. The food definitely gets my FYE STAMP! Oh yea it was very hot inside, it looks like it's been that way for awhile, I hope they fix it soon

We love the food at Bub's! It is quality and simple. It is everything a burger should be and more. The patty is flattened thin and the cheese is classic American. They have a tangy/creamy Bub's sauce, pickles, and very thin sliced onions that are steamed. Fries and Onion Rings are super tasty. We have tried several of their specialty burgers. Same thing patty with some fun takes, like the Peanut Bubber. It is one of the best burgers in the region in a laid back joint run by great people.

if i'm ever in the Nola area and looking for a good burger, i'm going to bubs! Bubs is a quaint little burger shack with some retro arcade games and some seriously delicious food. Cashier was very nice & helpful while service was pretty quick! I got the special - a jalapeño burger and i immediately wanted another! the patties are juicy while not being too messy and the bun is perfection! i will definitely be back to try out more of the menu!

This place was highly raved about in a local food post, and I'm glad I found it because I never knew they existed. The place reminded me of an old bar, and the revamped place with old video game machines was nostalgic. There's a few tables inside and also a few picnic tables outside, too. Service was extremely fast! From the time my order was placed, to the time it was ready was not even ten minutes. Not sure how many people they had in the kitchen but kudos to you (or y'all)! And yes, everything was hot. Smash cheeseburgers were nice and melty, brussel sprouts were plentiful, and onion rings too. They have a great, affordable happy hour, too. Valid Tuesday-Friday from 3-5PM. $5 Bub burgers and $1 off sides. Can't beat it!

10/10 from Baton Rouge & the burgers and fries are great! Service was also fast. Inside is whats to be expected here in Nola.

we saw advertisements for Bubs Nola so decided to check it out for lunch. When i got there i realized they had taken over the spot where Trillys used to be. the place was very busy with outdoor seating; it did take a while for the food so the plentiful seating helped. we ordered the single patty hamburger, the grilled cheese, cheese fries, and brussels sprouts. the brussels sprouts were AMAZING! some of the best i've ever had (and others around me agreed). the patty abd grilled cheese were decent and the cheese fries ok. overall good food in a nice atmosphere

We've eaten here a few more times and still love it. Food was still fresh and made to order. We ate inside last time. The retro game machines are so cute and add to the flare of the place. Brussels sprouts are still my favorite. Burgers are flavorful and well seasoned.

I Wanted to try this place so bad but once I got there I noticed through the screen door the people making the burgers didn't have any gloves on it instantly made me change my mind I really wanted to try them.

The service was good. The young woman who took my order helped decide which burger I wanted to try with the impossible patty. Her Micro Burger selection was awesome. That was a great tasting patty that I every as an impossible. The vibe is like throwback burger fries joint with like 3 vintage arcade games and pinball machine. I felt like I was back in the 90's. Either way, great spot to stop at if you are in the NOLA.

We were in the city, and we wanted to try some delicious food. I saw Bub's was close to me and decided to pop in for an experience. The customer service was terrific. I ordered my children the spooky meals, and I had a bubs burger. The food came out quickly; it was fresh and ample. The smell was amazing. I truly enjoyed the experience. The inside of this establishment was charming. It had the old-school arcade games and candy machines by the door. Although we didn't dine in, we enjoyed the amenities while we waited. Love at first bite. Our burgers were juicy and seasoned beautifully. The fries were truly delicious; I'm a fry girlie! If I stayed in New Orleans, I would definitely frequent often. I will definitely dine again whenever I return.

I don't know what it is about Bub's, but I just love coming here. I guess I just love the vibe. I feel like I'm walking into my best friend's garage that was converted to a man cave complete with a baseball game on the television, pinball machines, and video games. There is certainly nothing fancy about the dining area. In fact, just like your best friend's garage, there are cases of drinks and other things stacked in various corners and along the back wall. It really does feel like a garage. But the main reason I come here is the food. I love Bub's burgers. I've only had two of the sandwiches, the Bub and the Royale. The burgers are fairly similar. Both are two thin smash burger style patties with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, but with different condiments. The Bub is a little spicier. Either one you order will be delicious. You cannot order alcohol here, but you are welcomed to go to the Banks Street Bar next door, pick up a beer or cocktail, and bring it back to Bub's to have with your burger. I have only two very slight criticisms. First, the pickles , which are good in and of themselves, do not really belong on a burger. Unfortunately, they still identify as cucumbers which does not work with the rest of the condiments and with the burger itself. Secondly, the onion rings should really be taken off of the menu. The French fries are good enough, and the food service onion rings simply don't belong in an establishment with such originality. Come to Bub's. You will love it.

We dined here right before the lunch rush about 2 months ago. I ordered the smash burger without bacon. The hubby ordered it with bacon. We also order cheese fries and Brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were amazing. My burger was pretty good. Not really the top 3 or even 5 for me, but a good tasty burger. The hubby burger was burnt, and we figured out it was the bacon that was burnt, and the patti was cooked perfectly. The fries were nothing special. I liked that there were napkins and ketchup set up at the little station. The problem was that the ketchup was basically out. And there were like 3 napkins left. The guy in the back was too busy for me to even ask since the lunch rush was starting. I blame it one short staffing that no one made the time to refill those items. The bathroom was small and kind of gross, but this place is basically a converted dive bar. The place doesn't have a lot of seating. The parking is off the street. There is some outside dining. You can pay like counter service, which is a plus. Overall, it was average, and I am very glad I got to taste was a smash burger really about.

So delicious. My favorite burger spot. Also the atmosphere is so nostalgic. I feel like I'm in the 80's again.

My favorite burger in the city. Excellent happy hour. Definitely not the healthiest meal your gonna get, but that is obviously not the point.

Great smash burger! Great sauce! Great fries! Great staff! Great prices! Great atmosphere! It's .. (insert Tony the tiger)!

The food was good! The burgers are mostly made with 2 beef Patties. We ordered the Bacon bbq burger and the Bub's burger with onion rings/side of Bub's sauce. I loved their sauce! Decent prices, and very unique ambiance. The employee that took our order was nice, friendly and the food was done pretty fast!

Everything here was delicious. The de-gen fries are fun and delicious. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great traditional burger or burger with a twist!

This place is so good!! I had an Impossible Royale, the Brussels sprouts, and a peanut butter cookie. This place is really close to where I'm staying, so I was so happy that I could walk my dog and pick up takeout. Now I'm worried that it's so close to where I am staying. Haha - it's delicious!

If you're into really juicy smashed burgers cooked perfectly on soft brioche buns, Bud's Nola is most certainly the place for you. But if you're like me and you crave something a little more clean tasting and with a lot more veg action, this one may not be quite up your alley. I definitely see the appeal and I cannot deny the chef's skills but the burgers were far too greasy for me to enjoy. That being said, I would climb a mountain and swim across a valley to get my hands on what I consider their most prized possession: those crispy brussel sprouts and fried onion rings. They were honestly some of the best sides I've had thus far and I would go back just for them.

I was craving a burger which isn't very often. With that said I had to be sure it was a good one so as usual I looked to Yelp for help and ended up at this jewel. There's street parking but it wasn't horribly bad finding a spot. Walking into this dimly lit little place there were video games and plenty seating. From pictures I already knew I'd be trying the barbecue bacon burger and cheese fries. I put in my phone number to receive some loyalty points and waited less than 10 minutes to get my order. Y'all...this burger was so good to me. It was juicy with Smokey perfectly crisp bacon, and the cheese was all nice and melty! The sauces ran down my hand as I bit into it so don't think you'll be eating pretty. Lol The cheese fries were really good as well. I will definitely go back the next time I'm craving a burger!

Waaaayyyy over hyped ... if I spend close to $15, I should leave with a full stomach... $15 small little burger with no french fries is not my cup of tea.. plus the burger was extremely greasy with not much flavor... I'm just being honest

Quite possibly the best cheeseburger I've ever had in my life, and I've eaten a ton of cheeseburgers. The laciest, crispiest edges I've ever seen on a smashburger! Everything about this burger was done to perfection. We also got cheese fries and onion rings and everything was delicious! It is small but we didn't have a problem getting a table. The only downside: no soda fountain. You bought individual cokes if you wanted one.

Fast service, burgers were seasoned well, fries were crispy and fresh. In and outside seating available.

Just go! You won't regret it. The burgers are so good and they have great flavor. Get the de-gen fries to top it all off. They've got indoor and outdoor seating as well. And there's a bar next door if you want a grab a drink.

Walked in , and gotta say this place is super Cool and chill . The guy recommended me a simple but delicious burger meal and that it was , fresh and hot cant get any better. They have great seating wether you're alone or with a group. I chose to sit outside under the umbrellas and relax and enjoy my meal . If I could give this place 10 stars I would ! Give it a try !

Great hole-in-the-wall burger joint. Phenomenal burger! Great music overhead. Fast service. Reasonable prices. Definitely will be back

Last night, I was in the area to wrap up our Christmas vacation and was searching for a GOOD burger. After several Google searches, my son and I decided to swing by Bub's Nola before the Pelicans vs Grizzlies game. Bub's did not disappoint! We ordered a side of cheese fries, regular fries, and the BBQ Bacon Cheddar Bub. It's something about the charred taste of beef from a flat-top grill. The bacon was thick and crispy to my liking, and the cheese was melted perfectly. I'm a little upset that I waited until the last night to swing by. Bub's will be my first stop next visit, and I plan to try the Peanut Butter burger. The service was fast, and our order was delivered within five minutes. The location is small, and outdoor seating is an option. Also, their happy hour is pretty legit, too. $5 Bub Burger, $7 Impossible, and $1 off ALL sides. Until next time....

Bub's exceeded all my expectations when it came to food. Between my husband and I, we split 2 burgers and the Brussels sprouts and was more than impressed with all three. Absolutely delicious!! We sat outside at the picnic tables and it was a great atmosphere with umbrellas provided for shade.

Bub's NOLA (AKA Bub's Burgers) slings some nice smash burgers in various options along with having some above average sides. They build a well balanced burger here with a good balance of bun size to meat size which also leads to really good burger structural integrity that unlike many other joints burgers allows these to stay together very nicely. The sides here were really a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed the onion rings which were around average while the brussels sprouts were quite excellent with lots of flavors making it a complex and sophisticated dish. They have a nice selection of t-shirts here along with some great old school arcade games available to play. Overall this is an interesting burger joint with a lot of interesting food options. My video review of Bub's NOLA/Bub's Burgers is here: https://youtu.be/p_CSbklht80

Great food and (mostly) friendly staff. Angry drunk white dude working in kitchen who yelled at me and my 1.5yr old for standing outside the door. Totally unacceptable behavior. I'd recommend looking out if you go here with your young kids.

Heard about bubs on Instagram when it was a pop up spot. The location is on Banks do parking was the only issue. Once inside you order and pick up at the window and sit anywhere open they have outdoor seating too. Went with a friend and we had the Bub and lil Bub burger w fries. This is a good smash burger that was dressed perfectly on a soft bun. The fries were hot and crispy. I would definitely visit this spot again to try other selections

I'm actually sitting outside of the building in my car now. Came at 9:40 pm and was told by an employee that was sitting outside that they were closed. Was trying to give it a try for the first time but I guess that'll never happen.

One of our fave spots for burgers! First time I tried Bub's was at a popup at Miel Brewery. It was so delicious and juicy. I also tried a bite of the peanut butter burger which was so original and amazing. Their Brussel sprouts are to die for. It's really cool they have their own place now. It shows that people really like them and support them! Tip: have $5 microdose burgers now too!

I found a yard sign in front of my job that said "bring this in for a free burger" and indeed, I brought it to bubs and got a free burger. I'm 4 days shy of my paycheck, and this burger was like an oasis. Juicy patty, crispy but buttery pickles, the patty was so flavorful, the little onions danced on my tongue, the bun was so soft!!! The fries were perfect. I'm so grateful. Really perked up this empty cupboard marathon I'm in. Thank you bub!!!!!!!! Oh, they have burger happy hour, come on down!

A++ service. Unbeatable prices. Cool a/c, unique burger options, very relaxed environment.

Friendly, good ambience. Small place.More for takeout. You can park on the street easily. The food is definitely different and pretty good. I'd get it with Grubhub or takeout. It's worth trying some of their unique burgers and other things.

This place is where it's at when it comes to burgers! I'm so glad to see they have an actual location. The outdoor seating is so convenient and a nice touch for seating options. Indoors is also spacious with a retro 80's feel to it. The staff are phenomenal very welcoming and has no problems explaining the menu and other options. Now let's get to the food ! The reason we came. We ordered the speciality burger on the menu, the BBQ Bacon Hamburger single patty and the Impossible Royal burger with regular fries. The food came out fresh and hot ! The BBQ Bacon burger was amazing the Pattie's were cooked the way requested it and it melted in our mouths. One of the delicious burgers I've tasted. The impossible burger was cooked so well you'd swear it was a beef patty. The French fries were regular fries next time I plan on trying the cheese or gumbo fries.

Best burgers in New Orleans!!!!!! We tried a few varieties, and each one was better than the next. Don't miss out on the honey, chili brussel sprouts Service was quick and courteous. Nice vibe, small place, but very cool with the arcade and pinball games. Check this place out

I'm glad I finally got to try Bub's! My burger and fries were great! It was really quick when I went for lunch. There is seating inside and outside and even some video games to play. I will definitively go again!

It was my birthday today I went to every spot that could offer rewards I got all the free food I could. But then dinner came around and I left the rewards off the table and decided bubs because bubs is worth paying for and I was right this burger was worth every penny thank you for existing bubs Nola.

Great smash burger on a homemade brioche bun. The fries and onion rings were brought in from food distributor. I would eat their again. Great burger!

The food was ok. I wasn't aware that everything was el la cart. I also feel like they could have seasoned the burger more

And what seems to be a quest now to find the "Best Burger" in New Orleans, I find myself in Mid City at "Bubs." As soon as I walked in, there's a dancing pumpkin on the screen! How can I go wrong... I orderd the "Rodeo Adobo" and Cheese Fries. 2 (thin) patties. Those patties easily equal 1 patty. Pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, Chipotle Adobo sauce and an onion ring. Sounds hella bomb right? Expecting a nice adobo flavor, right? So was I. Was it worth $25+Tip and a barely chilled Bargs? Absolutely not! It was aite, I won't be back...

On this trip to find best tasting burger in NOLA, Bub's is #1...so far #2 but VERY good High Hat, Not to try again for burgers: Port of Call or Beachcorner (meat alone was flavorless short of spices) Bub's: Two 81/19 % meat:fat Angus beef had excellent flavor before trying the delicious topping & flavorful roll. Fries very good. Staff in this small spot friendly and willing to answer food questions.

Definitely a new favorite for me. This was my first experience and besides the burgers and fries being DELICIOUS, the process from order to pick up in the restaurant was 6 minutes!! We tried the Bub, Royale, De-gen fries and a regular fry. All were hot, well seasoned and delicious. I was shocked even the loaded style fries held up on the drive home. Will definitely be back for the peanut bubber and a hot sausage! The space a super cool as well.

So happy I checked this place out. Once a food truck, now a brick and mortar location (they still do food trucks/pop ups), Bub's Burgers was formed just last year and it's no surprise they've already garnered a following because their burgers are amazing. I'm always on the lookout for the best burger in New Orleans and Bub's NOLA did not disappoint. The exterior looks beautiful. The inside isn't too big but also looks nice. The staff was great and very friendly. There's a water machine if you prefer not to pay for a bottled water or bottled drink. The prices are pretty moderate, what you'd expect from a burger joint. 2.50 for bacon is a bit extreme but, the food was fresh, the fries were great, and the burger overall was really, really good. Their Bub's sauce I can best describe as a sweet mustard. I look forward to watching this establishment grow in popularity and will cheer for it's success with my consistent business. I can't wait to be back! I also vlogged my experience which I advise for you to check out at https://youtu.be/JhPx0Cdeabg

I've been chomping these burgers for a good while now. I looked forward to any pop up they would have anywhere near me. Well as luck would have it they popped up permanently in my neighborhood. My go to is the bub royale. It's juicy, got the crunch of red onion, and soft brioche bun. And bonus it makes me laugh every time making me think about Pulp Fiction "What do they call it?" "Royale with cheese." Along with my royale I tried the degen fries. Don't recall this ever being an option at the pop up so had to give it a try. This was also very good. With it smothered in cheese and ranch made me think I was eating an American version of poutine. And on top of all that I even ordered the grilled cheese just to try as much as possible while I was there. It was small cheesy and comforting even though I was stuffed. Congrats Bub's on a brick and mortar location I will be moving in as well.

Yummy burger and fries! The Microdose was big enough for me, although it doesn't come with much add ons. It's legit just the single patty, bun, grilled onions, and a few condiments. It might not be big but it's grilled nicely and tastes delicious. Weirdly enough, the bread for me was my favorite part. Now the de-gen fries... lemme just say, sooooooo goood! I'm getting these again when I come back. Super simple, cheese bacon jalapeños on fries. My favorite food groups . Overall, the food was tasty and I would recommend trying it out. Side note: For me, parking was pretty hard to find in the area and I went on a Saturday afternoon. Be prepared to walk if you're not lucky finding a spot close by.

This is an exceptionally good smash burger! Onion rings are awesome, too. I do wish they had more choices of soft drinks but you can't have everything. Go during cool weather. The AC is not so good..
