Bud's Broiler

1st time here at this restaurant and thought I would give it a try.. the meat 🍖 is very juicy and the service is old fashioned..the burger 🍔 is flamed cooked with charcoal.. I will definitely be back again when I am in New Orleans again

Our trip to Buds Broiler started next door at Morning Call. The kids were starving, and Google said they had hotdogs. Turns out, they don’t anymore, so we migrated to Buds. After waiting 25 minutes for our ballpark food, my daughter was served her hotdog on a hamburger bun and it was sliced into long strips. Who's stealing all the hotdog talent from this shopping center? It’s a tragedy that leaves a gaping hole. I see a golden opportunity here for Nathan’s Famous to swoop in. Also, took my kid to the bathroom, and while there were no paper towels, the staff somehow emerged with dry hands. Magic, I guess.

I have always loved Bud's, and I still do. BUT, go to another location. It would actually take effort to run this place more poorly. They take forever to get the food out, and I watched one guy cough into his gloves and continue to make the food without changing the gloves. Unbelievable.

This buds location is top notch. The food is fresh and consistently better than other locations, service is always top notch, and the staff behind the counter make a difference. The folks behind the counter talk to you and hold a friendly conversation while you wait for your food. The food is hot enough to stay steaming to go. I live about 2 miles away and everything was as good as I would expect for dine in.

It's Bud's Broiler, an iconic New Orleans fast food joint. I was approached in the dining room by a man who asked me to buy him some food... in the dining room. The staff quickly handled it. Should be 4 stars. Love Bud's!

Bud's Broiler. The name implies that they are known for burgers. Years ago they used to be delicious. We decided today to eat one. Today, it had no flavor at all. In fact, you couldn't even taste the charcoal flavor. After I placed our order, I watched the employee cut open the package with the burger in it in front of me. They were pre-packaged burgers that probably came from Sysco, Sam's, etc. They are running the business like a McDonald's taking the shortcuts. I think I would have enjoyed a hotdog much more. Do yourself a favor and cook your own or go to Lee's Burgers. Bud's used to be such an icon in New Orleans i will never go there again.

Good fresh fairly priced burger. Nice size so you won’t feel still completely stuffed at supper time. 2 Things: If they could just heat the buns to take the chill off of them, it would improve them SO much. Sometime they do, sometimes not. Also, when the petties gets too much flame on them it creates soot, which gives me a stomachache. Char grilled should be only a little flareup here and there. Saw them once really flaming the poor meat.

Best Bud's burger I've had in years in any location. Feb 2025. Saturday night before Superbowl. Not crowded. Half hour to close. Burger was perfect, and the crew dropped my daughter and I fresh fries. Everyone super nice and food was perfect.

The Bud's Broiler across from Delgado was a childhood staple, especially after Carrollton Boosters soccer games. This newer one is right off of City Park Rd on canal and has plenty of seating. You can't go wrong with the #6 dressed cheddar burger (I usually hold the pickles and mustard) or if I'm feeling "healthy", I get the #10 regular Chicken a sandwich (they also have an eat fit one). Throw in the Chili Hickory Sauce Cheese French Fries and a Coke Zero and you're set. The guys working the counter have always been friendly. Sometimes the place can get busy and you'll wait a minute for your order.

The setting is vintage. Despite the location being new, it looks like a no-frills burger joint of old with the classic woodgrain booths and that '80s interpretations of the '50s aesthetic . I appreciated the large font of the menu that is easy to read even from some of the tables. I was also delighted with food's presentation (paper stamped with the original logo) and the fact that the menu is printed onto the back of the paper (nice touch). Dining at Bud's feels nostalgic. The service here is wonderful. They were so sweet and put a lot of care into the food they make. The chicken sandwich was cooked to the perfect temperature. I asked for my fries to be crispy and they happily cooked them a little longer until they were perfectly golden brown. The only problem is that the food lacks salt. When I tasted my food, I remembered this being an issue for me years ago when I used ot eat at the Elysian Fields and City Park Ave locations. I ended up taking my food home and seasoning it from my own kitchen. I could see Bud's potentially being a good option for hypertensive folks who'd like to enjoy some fast food. I'm giving it 3.4 stars!

Shoddy location not very clean they only open 10:30-4pm no employees burgers were so over cooked it was pathetic,cheese fries were good not many tables.It is poorly run I would never go back there I usually never g9 into the city had to go to Lakelawn to visit relatives grave so thought I would give them a try!

Well, I am still disappointed that The Delgado Bud's Broiler closed but I am elated to find they have opened on Canal blvd. . I like the new look and they still maintained the same decorum of wooden tables and benches. Very simple decorum indeed. Same great taste and will always be my favorite burger joint. The memories of Bud's Broiler keeps old New Orleans alive in me.... Remember to support local eateries or we will all starve....

While far from being the best burger place in New Orleans, it is a great comfort food place. Their new location is 10 times better than the original. It's very large, spacious, indoor and out. This makes it very COVID friendly. Went for lunch on a Saturday. It was pretty busy, but still took a good while to get our food. I want to say it was 20 plus minutes. Which was fine they getting back into the groove after being closed a few years. I went with a number 3 burger and cheese fries. It was pretty much how I remember taste wise. Little bit better than your typical fast food burger. Cheese fries were great tons of cheese and crispy thin cut fries. Also nabbed me a chocolate shake, which paired well with my salty fries. I'm almost positive this is the first time I've been to Bud's in daylight. I look forward to when they are back to 24 hours so I can stumble in after a fest and order way to much food then waddle home fat and happy.

I'm not sure this rating is fair. I will give them another try after the hype of them reopening dies down. I really felt that the burger I had was not the Buds I remembered, both the burger and fries were cold. There were a lot of people in there, so I will go at another time and adjust my rating accordingly. I love the location and that is next to Morning Call. You have the option of eating inside or outside and watch the street cars as they go by. I say give them a try, just go when they aren't so busy.

This was my first visit to this Buds and it was one of the best! The burgers were really good! Not dried or or tough. The buns tasted fresh. The chicken nuggets were crispy and hot. I would come back!

Open for business, baby! I've been waiting for my beloved BB to open up ever since the City Park Ave location shut down. They opened last week and things are off to a great start! Right now, it looks like they're only open Thursday - Sunday but I'm hoping that'll change soon. Of course, the lines are long given the 'newness' but the staff is working hard to keep things movin. Our typical order is a #5, #6, onion rings, fries, and a coke! Surprisingly, I have yet to try their hickory sauce but it's sold by the bottle at this location in case that interests you. Still waitin on that liquor license so get your libations elsewhere. This was the perfect addition to our little Lakeview neighborhood -- walk a couple feet down to get some beignets for dessert afterwards! Oh, and are we etching our names into their picnic tables or nah?! IYKYK!

Was in the mood for a burger and decided to try out the new Buds Broiler on canal. Very clean and good location nice view of the streetcar turnaround. Parking is a little tight with only a few spots. Staff was great and the food was fantastic. Reasonably priced. I had a number six, the huge mound of fresh cheddar on top of the grilled onions. I will definatly be comming here again. One sugestion is they might add a double patty option. We here in New Orleans love to eat. All in all a great experience and i recommend you give it a shot and post what the other foods taste like. I do have great news, I spoke with the manager and he agreed that if you mention you saw it here on yelp, you can have any two items off the menu at regular price. Cant beat that can ya. See you all down the road.

I felt like a home made burger. When we got there the place was packed, that's a good sign though, right? It took about 20 minutes for us to receive our order, not bad considering the crowd. We all enjoyed our food and will definitely return.

Far cleaner than their previous space across from Delgado, but with far less charm. Employee friendliness is about the same. Parking on the side and in the rear of the building. Close to bus stops and Streetcar stops. Food is just as good, sweet tea just as good. Very simple decor inside. The burgers are still good, their special sauce just as special. Bud's has a long history in the city. Support your local business!

I crave my #7 and split hot dog w/bbq sauce every now and then. Idk but this place the buns are different from the other locations and I don't like 'em... they're unsure how to describe, but they're too airy and dry tasting... needs to be more of a potato bun or idk... I wish they'd do it like the Bud's on Veteran's but looks like they're closed permanently... change the bun and I'll come eat at this location weekly.

Avg wait time on a hamburger is 15-20 mins with nobody in line. When busy it's 30-45 min wait. Amazing burgers just can't believe it takes this long to cook a burger...

Waiting almost 20 minutes and burgers were cold and chicken was rubbery not sure why we had to wait when food was obviously not fresh will not return.

Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! There's nothing better than a hickory sauce, cheese, and onion - #4! The new place is clean, lots of seating, and parking. Everything is made fresh, so you'll have to wait a good 15-20 minutes for your food. Get over it! It's worth the wait... highly recommend! Throw in some hickory sauce, chili cheese fries and a chocolate shake while you're at it. Oh. A plus... you can buy their hickory sauce by the bottle!

Sloooow. Waited more than 15 minutes in line and when I finally got to order the guy picked up the phone to take an order. Twenty minutes waiting for food- not a good situation for someone with limited time ! Of course the food was good as always.

Nothing beats a good Ol New Orleans Buds Broiler burger. My favorite is #6 with onions, sauce and extra cheese. Since a friend has the virus ( but can taste) that is all they were craving. So I stopped by the one on causeway yesterday. My order 2 #6 (see above) to fry. Please put one burger and 1 fry in a bag and the other in the other. I even explained THE WHY behind my request. And it was in person as well. It wasn't crowded but started to be as I patiently waited chewing on ice. BUDs has that good ice. After 20minutes got the bags- they had the 2 COLD fries in one and the 2 burgers in another. Once I dropped it off, about 5 mini minutes from the location. My friend text me that there was barely any sauce & cheese, and of course noted the cold fries. I agreed when I got home and tried to enjoy mine. $20 for 2 cold burgers and fries is crazy. It will be awhile before I return to that location. I did enjoy the ice- I just wish my fries didn't match it.

First, the parking, not sure who paid someone off but20spaces for Budsand Morning Call? New Orleans never forgotten pay to play at work. Thursday afternoon 2:07pm, Outside about 5 tables may 12 inside and 10 guests waiting for food. White Hairedand bearded man that I will guess is the owner took the mans order in front of me and when I stepped to the counter turned grabbed his Laptop and walked away. Two of his employees working behind the line said" Be right with you". The young lady took my order. Sign on the cash register 3.9% surcharge for using a card? Really? Fix your prices .40 on $10 would not be noticed.

I wish I didn't have to choose 2 stars, but they left me no choice. We didn't mind waiting in line on a Friday evening, so that has nothing to do with it. We do have a problem with COLD French fries and hamburgers, which weren't taken to go but to a picnic table 20 feet away from where they were made. The best assumption is that they were put on the tray and waited while they fried the onion rings. Big disappointment.

The experience was just okay! Had to have burger and onions rings made over twice both time cold.

Outstanding. I feel like I went in a time machine back 45 years to where the food was phenomenal. Buds has risen from the dead. Outstanding food all the way around and service. Real meat is back. Hot dogs are fabulous.

The location is perfect but unfortunately the workers are some of the rudest ever! Hamburger's are not cooked to order, it was barely warm & undercooked. It's back to Metairie Bud's for us.
