★★★★★ 5.0 Desiree Sanders · Feb 2026

Menu says "smash" burgers but these are far from it. Patty's are not smashed and very thick. Almost, too much meat on the burgers. Should have been cooked a little longer too. Since the burger patty was so thick, the middle was kind of mushy still. Pacific clunkers was really good and give too. Wings were small and cold. Seems like the wings are oar boiled first and flash fried once ordered. Not recommended. Especially when the establishment isn't even busy. We went on a Friday night and there is karaoke from 7-9p on Fridays. Super duper loud and hard to hear conversations at your table. There are 2 pool tables in the front area.

Blair was our waitress, she was very polite and friendly. This place is fun and tucked off in such a great Location. The food was amazing fresh and prepared to order. Highly recommend this little place for a stop for a lunch or fun dinner.

★★★★★ 5.0 Stacey Hall · Sep 2025

Bun Lab is such a fun and easygoing spot right on the water! The atmosphere is relaxed with plenty of seating choices inside and out, making it a great place to hang out whether you’re there for a meal, drinks, or just to enjoy the view. I loved how accommodating and friendly the servers and bartenders were — they made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. It feels like the kind of place you can settle into and stay awhile. On top of that, Bun Lab has darts, pool tables, and sports playing, which adds a playful, social vibe to the experience. Between the waterfront setting, good food, and laid-back feel, it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend for both locals and visitors.
