★★★★★ 5.0 Mike (Big Mike) · Jan 2026

First the pros- a decent, good quality, nice tasting solid burgers. The fries were fantastic and the guy running the ordering/cash register had great customer service. The cons and they have been listed in other reviews. The "area" is small and hidden between buildings. Parking can be an absolute nightmare. I still gave five stars even though, I do believe they are priced a little high for what you may receive. However, look at places like RR, they are doing the same and Burger Buds is better than anything they can offer. Overall a solid place for food!

Burger Buds is a food truck next to imbibe. Several people had mentioned it to me as a place to try. The people were very nice and helpful. My order was ready within 10 minutes. The fries were really good. I was happy to see a gluten free option with a burger bowl/salad available. Will go back when craving burger and fries

One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. These guys care about their customers and it shows. I thought I had received the wrong burger. I went at sat at the tap room next door to eat and saw my burger looked like it was missing one. I took it back and they told me the burger was made right and they explained I missed the other burger as they are smash burgers. I said “oh ok my bad” and went back to the tap room and ate my burger. It was delicious!! Next thing I know I see the employee walking in the tap room with a bag and he said “we wanted to give you this burger on the house”. I saved it till I got home and WOW they outdid themselves with that one. Definitely a place I will come back to. They do a great job and they made my day with the extra burger. Overall, that’s what I call

Im not familiar with that area. Im running outta gas, turning into the gas station, a trailer behind was drawing my attention. Never heard of Burger Buds, but figured I would ‘roll the dice. Quite happy i did! Awesome burgers and super great fries. Also check out the fry sauce they make! Yum yum yum yum how long til a Tacoma location opens? Food so good i came!

Really good. Perfect Thin smashed crispy patties and the bun was amazing. Got "The Ringer" with Buds sauce instead of BBQ sauce, the tang of the pickles with the sauce is amazing. Highly recommend!
