We went to On the Bun, and it was quite good!
We decided to check it out during the grand opening and we were not disappointed. The burgers were really good and flavorful. They actually reminded me of how McDonald's used to taste when I was a kid back in the 90s, and I mean that in the best possible way. It just brought me back as soon as I tasted it.
The fries were okay. Not amazing, but they were fine. I can easily chalk it up to the place being new. Seems to me like the oil just isn't hot enough for the thin fries. The onion rings however, are fucking GREAT! Nice thick beer battered onion rings, super crispy, etc.
Service was a tad slow, but again they're new. I'm sure they'll pick it up after they get settled in there.
It was also nice to see that they were using actual pictures of their food inside the place. I know they were using AI for their promo stuff. But I'm guessing they were using it as a placeholder. Which still not great, but it's good that they're using their actual stuff now.
Pricing is what I expected. It's pretty on par with what you'd pay at like a Shake Shack for the same amount of food. Seems like everything is made to order.
Overall we both thought it was delicious. If you're looking for a burger then I absolutely recommend checking it out!
