Bunz Handcrafted Burgers

One of the best burgers I've had in a while! I ordered the Z combo ($13 for Z Bunz burger, fries, and a drink). Burger was cooked perfectly. Taste was incredible. The fries were solid (don't know if hand-made there or frozen) but they tasted fine and hit the spot. I'd go back tomorrow if I could for the burger, though! Whatever they're doing, keep doing it!

First time customer, we were in town visiting and it was across the street from our hotel. Restaurant was full of customers eating but it was not busy at the register. Service was excellent, very polite and helpful. I ordered two Z combos. Wait was about 10 mins to get my food. Burger was just ok and I would have preferred dill pickles and not the sweet pickles. The fries were awesome! I had the regular but they did offer sweet potato fries too. The inside was clean and maintained. Would recommend this restaurant.

Food was good. Very creative with the options they have. Presentation is nice. Higher price point for sure. I got the Mercedes burger and my friends got other ones. We all enjoyed it. Fries were great. They were like thicker spiral fries. Nice that they have spicy ketchup too. Will definitely be back if I’m ever in the downtown area and craving a good burger

Great Burgers, But Pricey & Messy Buns – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) I recently visited Bunz Handcrafted Burgers in downtown San Antonio, and it was definitely a delicious experience! The Food • I ordered the Bunzilla with spicy peppers added and a side of plain fries. • My friend got a spicy chicken sandwich, which he wasn’t impressed with, but it looked amazing (you’ll see it in the photos). • The burger itself was huge and flavorful, but my only complaint is that the homemade bun couldn’t hold up—it disintegrated from the grease and sauces. • The spicy ketchup was a standout! The new self-serve condiment station (which looked like a cow udder) had mustard, ketchup, and spicy ketchup, but the spicy ketchup dispenser wasn’t working. Luckily, a staff member got me some, and it was amazing for dipping both my fries and my burger. The Atmosphere & Service • The restaurant had a busy and vibrant vibe, showing how popular it is. • The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the cashier who gave me great recommendations. • We chose fountain drinks for refills, which was a nice plus. Pricing & Final Thoughts • Burgers are priced higher than typical fast-food chains, but the quality was excellent. • While the buns need improvement, I still enjoyed my burger overall. • This was my first time visiting, and I would definitely return the next time I’m in San Antonio! • If you're looking for a delicious alternative to chain burger spots, Bunz Handcrafted Burgers is worth a try. Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) – Great flavors, helpful staff, but slightly overpriced and buns need to hold up better.

Great burgers! Fun little spot in San Antonio that is walkable from the River Walk. Unique burger/chicken sandwich combinations. Shakes looked amazing as well. Inexpensive and good quality ingredients. Slam dunk if you are a burger fan.

My girlfriend and I were staying at a hotel downtown and were scrolling through Google Maps looking for a good lunch spot—thankfully, we stumbled across Bunz Handcrafted Burgers. It was only about a five-minute walk from where we were staying and right by the River Walk, which made it super convenient. Now let me just say: in my 25 years of being alive, I’ve had my fair share of burgers—and this place serves one of the best I’ve ever had. Seriously. The flavor, the quality, everything just hit the spot. The atmosphere is pretty chill too, especially being downtown. It does get a bit warm inside because of San Antonio’s humidity, but they do have fans going to help with that. We liked it so much we actually went back the very next day—and that says a lot since we were just visiting. If you’re a burger lover or just want to try something really solid while you’re in town, I 100% recommend checking this place out. You won’t regret it.

My first meal at San Antonio was a resounding success with this local. The hamburgers were larger than anticipated, and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. Even the unique combination of sweet potatoes, hamburger, and pear was a delightful and tasty try.

Great burgers! They serve breakfast too! Sadly we had to leave early this trip and didn’t get to try their breakfast options. If breakfast is anything like their burgers, you won’t be disappointed! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. They fresh bake the buns and the kids enjoyed watching them come out of the oven. This will definitely be a go to next time we are in San Antonio! I had the Z Bunz and fries. The sauce they use on the burgers is really tasty so if you are like me and apprehensive about sauces, go ahead and give it a try as is! It’s burger perfection!

First time trying this burger place, they have homemade buns and the burger are big and tasty, the staff is very friendly even when we go almost at closing time. The place has a casual vibe and family friendly. They have parking across the street.

No lie, we are a picky hamburger snobby family, preferring our home griddled smash burgers that we have been perfecting over the years...then we stumbled upon Bunz across the street from our hotel...WOW!!! When I say the great reviews were spot on I mean it!!! No wonder it has been voted the BEST burgers in SanAntonio! Juicy but not sloppy, flavorful but not over concocted, fresh, fresh, fresh! Even the French fries were perfect! Oh, and the Chicken sandwich was perfect as well!!! Not to mention the cookies! Go see for yourself

Great burger and fries! And the had gluten free buns - huge bonus! I wish they had some type of alcohol option. My husband would have enjoyed a beer with his burger. Polite customer service. Fast-casual environment with some spunk. Definitely recommend!

They have validated parking!! Ask when you order and they'll give you a ticket for the garage across the street. The burgers here are made fresh and are big portion size. They're all creative flavors and of course you can just get the classic one too. There's a good amount of seating and it's a very casual vibe.

I really liked this place! The bombardier fries were amazing!!!!!! Like what?!? At first it did look questionable but I thoroughly enjoyed all the flavors the bacon was so crispy and mouthwatering I could not stop eating them! The burger was flavorful the buns were toasty and super tasty. Meat was cooked medium well to perfection. I really wish I lived in Texas so I can come back here over and over again.

Bunzai Burger definitely filled me up, I did not even get fries. The bbq sauce is a nice blend of sweet with a tiny kick. The jalapeños and slaw are a good balance to all the meat. Would definitely go back to try the different menus items.

Omg what a colossal burger! I got the bunzai burger which came with BBQ Asian pork ribs and coleslaw. It was good but I didn't really get the Asian zing I wanted. However, my friend got the vegan burger and I was shocked at how authentic it looked! Leave it to Texans to make a good vegan meat. If you dine here bring your appetite because the portions are huge! Also try the fries because they are delicious! Service was great and it's a nice little shop right by the river walk, so you can escape the crowd and the wait for food! Shout out to the team, they were working extra hard for a Saturday!

I was excited to see a Vegan burger on the menu but honestly it wasn't that great. The beyond meat had no seasoning, the bun was too small for the size of the meat. I was not impressed

Came here because first place I went to was out of pizza... Man- this is a GOOD BURGER! Perfect! -Fresh meat - cooked perfectly! -Patty not too thin but not too thick -Burger was messy as it should be! -everything melded perfectly... cheese and sauce and pickles- MMMMMM! Wow! I came here because the first place I went to was out of pizza... so glad they were!! I just started spending more time downtown and this will be a free t check in for me. Best burger I have had in years!!!

After a very long meandering walk around the area I was in search of some food and I was tired of the hotel offerings. I had walked forever and a day and decided that out of all I had seen this was my best bet. It was welcoming from the outside and I walked in. Inside it gives you that hip vibe you would expect from a burger joint. Bright lights, tall ceilings, varying heights of seating, chalkboard menu, quick paced kitchen. See, everything you would expect to find at a burger joint like this. I'll be honest, this is one place that I did not see the menu beforehand and I needed a minute to read it over, choose, and then order. I was that annoying customer that people probably despise while standing in line. After reading over the menu I decided that I wanted to keep it simple and sent with what is characterized as a cheeseburger and fries. Or at least that was my intention. The Z Bunz Burger delivered on how it was described. A classic patty topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle and a sauce. That's all put between a brioche bun and it was delicious. However, when I went to order the fries I had asked about the Bombardier Fries and after given a description of them, I had decided I would go with regular fries and happy with that. But, when my food was ready for me to pick up I ended up with the Bombardier Fries. These fries, even though they were not the ones I wanted, were amazing. I'm starting to appreciate the semi spiral cut thick fries as they serve a great purpose for dipping and holding the dip. The dip combo here was sour cream, bacon, green onions, and cheese. Was it messy? Yes. Was it worth the mix up? Also yes. They were some darn good fries and I would definitely get them again if I were to ever come back.

Bunz has GREAT burgers, juicy and full of flavor! The fries are really good too especially the loaded fries, we left out the goat cheese but added cheddar cheese. Seating is great if you have a large party or small party. Counter service was very friendly and knowledgeable, prices are on par for this restaurant and its location. Parking can be tricky but we made it work since we wanted to walk around downtown anyway.

This was my first time trying Bunz. The burger was perfect, from appearance to flavor. I ordered the house Z burger and the flavor of the actual patty was amazing, the bun was the perfect combination of soft and flavorful. It was memorable and the best burger I've had in years. The fries were also really good and perfectly salted, staff was quick and friendly, and the place was clean. I'll definitely be back! I also felt the price for a burger with fries and a bottled drink was just right! Highly recommended!

The burgers and fries here were absolutely delicious, and quick! Very casual atmosphere and you can tell the folks that work here are dedicated to their craft. I had the Bunzai and could not believe how good it was. Definitely making my way back here next time I'm in town!

Lived up to the reviews. Excellent burger. Super casual, the seating area could be cleaner and wiped down more often.

So we were simply in the area after a prior engagement of my daughter's and she asked for burgers. I'm not a huge burger fan HOWEVER this spot has definitely question that decision lol. OMG everything was delicious! The ambience inside and outside is great! I will definitely be back!! Very soon!

An amazing dinner! The buns at buns are just hard to describe - but they are amazing. We had the Chicking Chicking which is a sandwich with secret house breaded chicken, spicy honey mustard, coleslaw, pickles, jalapeño and Monterrey Jack cheese. It was one of the most flavorful sandwiches I've had in a very long time. It was truly wonderful! We also tried the Loaded Bombardier Fries which are thin sliced twisted fries with goat cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, cilantro, bacon and chives. Also wonderful - flavorful and just really good. Finally we tried a pretzel and Nutella shake. Oh My Goodness - talk about an epic shake. They have super wide straws so you can drink it or you can use a spoon - either way, awesome. I'd stop in just for one of these. The staff was friendly and personable - just a great all around experience. We will definitely go back!

They have a variety of burger options. I had the Bunzilla, which was very tasty. My burger did not fall apart as I ate it.

DT San Antonio on a Tuesday is empty. first impression, friendly staff. Food came out and chick sand was pretty darn good. Pickles were crunchy and the slaw was just sweet enough. Wife and son enjoyed their beef bunz. Come give it a try. I came all the way from CA for chicken sand that beats chick-fil-a...imo.

It was alright. The burger left something to be desired. Fries were nice and crisp, but needed salt. The service was meh. Recently, as I've gotten older, I was good, kind service. Service can make or break a place for sure.

Excellent food and very fast service! The guy working the register helped me figure out what to get for my first time there. Definitely will return!

I am from North Carolina traveling for work and hands down the best meal I have had! The burger was delicious and juicy and the customer service was wonderful!

All I can say, is WOW. They did not disappoint. We used to come downtown and go to Fuddruckers when it was still open. That was when our kids were little. Some folks liked it and some don't. We haven't found a great burger place in a while, but we are so glad Bunz is here!! Hopefully to stay. Careful what you order, tho. It's a lot. Oh so tasty tho!

First time trying this place and I can say it was pretty good. The flavor of the meat was good. My only gripe about the burger was the sauce they put on it. I asked for the sauce on the side but they put it on the burger. Also the bun didn't hold up. As I was eating the bun fell apart. Service was good and friendly. Another issue I had was the restaurant needed to be cleaned. The floors looked dirty and the area where they have the ketchup and mustard was very dirty. It needed to be wiped down thoroughly. Give it a try and see if anything has improved

I ordered the lunch special which is a burger, fries and drink for around $13. I was charged $30, assumed maybe the veggie burger was not included in that special so I didn't question it. The bun is buttered, burgers are quite heavy and greasy. I went with a group and we all had trouble finishing our food. If that's what you're looking for at lunch, this is your place, but personally I prefer lunch that doesn't make you feel like you need a nap afterwards.

Burgers are ok, the regular fries were great. We also got the Bombardier fries and threw most of them away. GOAT cheese does not go with the rest of these ingredients on this item. We ordered several meals and they only had tiny plastic cups so it was a constant run back and forth to get our refills. It was our first meal on vacation in the area and wouldn't go back anytime soon.

The food was delicious I had the award winning crab burger beach bunz. The service was amazing he played with my daughter in fuzball and the food came out very fast, and all the employees were very polite. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a burger place in San Antonio Texas.

So I hate to do this cause good places don't deserve a bad rating but I hate wasting my time and my money. Me and my work team thought we were going to enjoy a delicious burger asked for well done burgers and receive rare all 5 team members received rare burgers. Called to let the manager know we were told we will receive a refund well that never happened so we all are out of a meal and money. Check your burger before leaving the store and don't count on a refund cause it's not happening.

One of the best gf burgers I've had! The owner/manager that was working was super nice too.

My family and I wanted to try Pinkertons bbq down the street from this place and they had a line around the block. We quickly pivoted and chose Bunz. There was no wait and it was a very wholesome chill vibe. The burgers were perfect and didn't have too much fuss. I had the cheek bunz burger and a churro shake and it made all the anxiety of downtown San Antonio seem like a distant memory. My 18 month old niece was smiling ear to ear and loved it as well as the rest of my family. 1000% WORTH IT!!!! Great job you guys!

A juicy burger cooked medium well served with some unique dipping potatoes that are crispy and fresh. The buns are the star. They are fluffy, buttery and stacked to create an awesome burger. Great service and atmosphere here too.

Such a variety of burgers. Delicious fresh baked buns and the hamburger was so juicy. I loved the flavored special sauce too. Great value for the $

I had the Bunzilla and it was great. Staff was friendly and helpful with understanding the menu. Food came out quickly and hot. The fries were like round steak fries. Crunchy and tasty. If you're looking for a good burger, this is it,

Wife and I tried their Z Bunz burger and it was great! The bun itself was so good and the meat was seasoned well. The service and ambiance were laid back and chill.

Great!!! Food and staff were super chill ......would go back with kids . The decorations made the bunz experience even more special

Great burger and Gluten Free toasted bun! Always nice to find allergy friendly options for a decent price!

This is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat near the Majestic & Empire Theatres. I had the cheek bunz burger, which comes with Boursin cheese, arugula, tomato, caramelized onions, and two strips of bacon. It was delicious and filling. For dessert I shared the pretzel Nutella shake with my boyfriend. It has small, crunchy pretzel chunks. My boyfriend absolutely loved this shake. It's not overly sweet like a purely Nutella shake would be. If you like the sweet and salty pretzel Nutella combination, you'll enjoy this shake.

Stopped in on a whim to satisfy a burger hankering. Pleasantly surprised by the great burger (got the "Cheek Bunz") and chocolate shake. The beef patties were cooked to order & perfection (they offer medium rare for those brave souls). The Manager gave us recommendations since it was our first time. Did not disappoint. Will add this burger joint to our rotation the next time we are in town. Give this place (or their other location downtown) a try!

The menu they have is not very diverse but that makes them excel at what they do offer. As a student I remember going across the highway from UTSA to their satellite location and getting awesome food from friendly people and the food they provided embodied the definition of comfort food especially after a hard test. I recently went to their downtown location and was thankful to see that the quality was exceptional in both locations and that it was also very family friendly.

Yummy burger and fries! I had the Cheek Bunz Burger (lettuce wrapped +$1 more) and the Bombardier Fries. Burger was well cooked and delicious! The Bombardier fries were an interesting and delicious take on loaded cheese fries; the fries itself had some kind of very slight sweetness to it that I enjoyed. Service was quick and effective, being ready when I came to pick up at the promised time. If definitely come back again sometime if I happen to be on the area again I didn't dine in--but the ambiance seems chill when I went to pick up my order.

Cool little spot across the street from the AC Marriott Hotel, and came highly recommended. I grabbed a breakfast sandwich on my way out for work. The location has an eclectic vibe and the food is made fresh. I assumed it would take longer, so I went to get my car from the garage. Upon telling the Chef, he was kind enough to offer to bring it to me when I drove up. And even included free tater tots! It's those small gestures that will ensure I stop by on my next work trip to San Antonio. I would love to come back and try the burgers.

This is a great burger spot! The burgers are seasoned perfectly, pair that with a toasted bun and you get perfection. I ordered the Z Burger which is the house burger that comes medium on a toasted bun, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and house sauce. I opted to add caramelized onions to my burger and it was a great choice. The combo comes with fries and a drink. The fries weren't overly salty or too bland, they were seasoned just right. They have a condiments bar that includes regular ketchup, spicy ketchup, and yellow mustard. There are fountain drinks and bottled drinks available. Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant and when I'm downtown, this will be my casual go to eatery.

Great burger with a twist! Quick service and family vibe. I got the fries with toppings and oh my.

We went here for lunch, and it was amazing. The burgers are fresh, and the buns are homemade. They have a strawberry cheesecake milkshake that is incredible. The burger was one of the best ones I've ever had, and the fries were delicious. The staff was friendly, and the food was reasonably priced. The restaurant was clean with plenty of places to sit. Loved it so much that we'll be going back the next time we're there.

How can any serious burger enthusiast give more than three stars? And a Readers Choice Award in 2022 for best burger? No way. Makes you ponder that "age old question": are businesses paying people to leave these awesome reviews? Look, I'm a "burger guy" - love 'em. They are my all time favorite food, so I'm tough on burger joints. My experience in three words: small, bland, and over-priced. The whole thing started when I got in line behind a gentleman who was flirting with the young lady behind the counter. Neither one of them seemed to care I was standing there. I eventually ordered the Z Bunz and added bacon (are people really charging $1.50 to add bacon these days? Holy smokes). As I found my seat, my mouth watered with what I assumed would be a goliath like burger for which I'd just paid $22.00 (now, to be fair, that price included fries and a drink). BUT STILL - you read that right. TWENTY. TWO. DOLLARS. The burger I carried back to my seat disappointed from the start. The size disappointed, the amount of sauce disappointed. In fact, I'm not sure what they're trying to do with that "Z sauce". What little sauce that WAS on the burger was so watery you couldn't tell whether it was sauce or just natural grease from the burger. I can tell you the "sauce" is pink...ish. I think. Or, come to think of it, that may have been remnants from the tomato I requested NOT be on the burger, but that was obviously hastily taken off after they realized their mistake. I tasted nothing; I think the only thing I tasted on that burger was the lettuce. No way that patty had any seasoning on it. Best part of the meal were the fries, which were good and crispy.

We popped into this restaurant after seeing how good the reviews were. This place definitely does not disappoint. The staff is very friendly and helpful navigating the menu. The burgers are full of flavor and you do not even need sauce. I was half way through when I realized that I do not have any sauce on my burger!! They do offer a spicy ketchup which I really enjoyed as it was not too spicy. Overall, the burgers are juicy and worth the price!

I needed some beef. I needed a medium rare, juicy, delicious, salty burger patty, and Bunz DELIVERED. I got the Cheek Bunz and hubby got the Mercedes Bunz. Boursin cheese, several strips of bacon, arugula, tomato and caramelized onions. What could go wrong? Nothing. Nothing went wrong. Every bite was juicy, delicious, just salty enough and well balanced. I was able to get it on a gluten free bun, and it was just burger perfection. Didn't even care they ran out of tots. That burger was so good. Not greasy, not too heavy, just exactly what I needed. The Mercedes Bunz looked incredible. At first I thought it was way too many items on a burger, but hubby said it was still so well-balanced and delicious. Not greasy. Salty, the great pepper taste from the poblano, chipotle mayo, pepper jack cheese, and then that fried egg was the kicker. Absolute kicker and really brought it all together. Bombardier Fries were fire. I love the style of fries, and then you put bacon and sour cream, goat and Parmesan cheese on them + green onions? Yes please. All day. Good service, chill place to eat, very clean, and when you put all this together I already can't wait to come back and eat here again.

Back again and can't get enough. Second time in a week to enjoy the decadence of these burgers. So good, had the Bunzai and the Cow. So much cheesy goodness. Will be back again and again until made it through the menu. Love it.

My coworkers and I checked out this nice little burger spot near the convention we attended in Texas. It was so packed here! We had to wait a while in line to order, then we waited again for the food, but I believe they were working as fast as they could! The wait was pretty long since there were a lot of people, so come if you have time to kill (or check google so you're not arriving at a busy time). I tried the Ocean Bunz ($13.45) and Bombardier fries ($6.95). The Ocean Bunz had blackened shrimp, chipotle mayo, tomatoes, avocado relish, and lettuce, everything I love. All of those ingredients mixed harmoniously together and tasted amazing in one bite. It was a little messy though, but so worth it!! The fries were also very delicious! We all got a mix of different fries and shared them. You really can't go wrong with fries. I wanted to try their milkshakes too, but knew I would be too full so I passed. Maybe next time! :')

Tried another new spot for us on an early Friday night. They were super busy at 6pm but once we left traffic started to pick up. I can't recall the burger names but I think the first one in the picture had chili and we ordered it on the side. The second burger has blue cheese on it and it was paired perfectly! Our little one got the grilled cheese and definitely not a fan. They used the buns for bread and if I would have known I would opt out. They just hit differently. Lol! The service was spot on and the burgers are fresh so don't rush perfection. The overall ambiance is great! I'd definitely return especially for a milkshake!
