Haven't been to big bun inabout 6 years and decided to give it a try again.
My mistake.
Ordered a big bun combination hamburger and 3 orders of finger steaks with no sides.
Burger was warm but almost tasteless.
The tots were inedible.
Cold, greasy, fishy tasting, like the were cooked in filthy oil.
The finger steaks were absolutely disgusting.
Cold, oil saturated just nasty.
I'm sure they were cooked way before I ordered them then sat under a heat lamp forever.
Cooked in the same filthy, old oil as the tots.
This is not the Big Bun of the 70s and 80s that I remember.
They would have to makes some huge changed before I EVER eat there again.

Owner response

I am sorry about your experience Jack.
I can assure you that we strain our oil every night and dump it completely every two or three days.
We also don’ cook any food ahead of time so there is no area to even keep food under a warmer.
We would be more than happy to refund your order and put you down for a credit to give us another chance to do better.
We are a small family run business and would appreciate a second chance.
Please email us at bigbundrivein@gmail.com with your order details.

This was the first time I've tried this place.
It was recommended for good burgers.
I got the huckleberry blue cheese bacon burger and it was nothing like I've ever had before.
The fries and sausage were good.
And, the pieces were reasonable! We went with friends on a sunny Saturday so we say in the outside lounge.

Owner response

Thank you Brian.

The people are nice, but the Fingers steaks were Awful.
4 of the 6 pieces were very doughy, really salty and beyond greasy.
The couple of small ones that were cooked tasted like fish.
I will go back for ice cream items and drinks only.

Hello Kristin.
We are very sorry To hear your food wasn’t good at all.
That obviously isn’t what we are going for.
If you call the restaurant we would be more than happy to assist you in a refund and put you down for a gift card in hopes you give us another chance to do better.
Again we are very sorry.
