Bud's Giant Burgers — Restaurant in Vallejo

The burgers are hefty, classic Americana, I personally felt they were priced well given size and taste. Got the bacon cheeseburger option with all the toppings, and it didn't disappoint. Didn't use the cheap, paper thin bacon that burger chains use; they had just enough thickness to retain crunch and flavor without being difficult to bite through.

Those fries were something else though. Looks like they're fried to order when it's busy, and the texture definitely shows that. Chip-like exterior with notable crunch, yet a small vein of pillowy goodness inside. The flavor alone is exceptional and I'm not exactly sure how to describe it or what it even is. Maybe it's fried in beef shortening? Whatever it is, I don't understand how they can be sold so cheap and still turn a profit.

Apple turnover is worth a try, mine had delightfully buttery puff pastry. Overall wasn't sickeningly sweet, just enough to bring the whole package together.

Didn't have to wait too long for my order despite the place being busy. Almost seems strange how this small, antiquated relic of a bygone era exists in this day and age, but I'm sure the food has something to do with that. Definitely gonna be coming back in the future for those fries, I'm still in disbelief on how...

Now it's time for the 2nd of the 2 best fast food restaurants in Vallejo...Bud's Giant Burgers. This has been a staple of high school lunches since I went to high school in 1983-1985, and BEFORE. These are burgers that other establishments try to become and surpass, but CAN'T. Each burger is large, and cooked well, unless specified, and well seasoned, then piled high with basic condiments of lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese (bacon & avocado are extra) mustard and mayo. These can can come single, double, and triple in size...I have never tried a 3-patty burger, just too big!! Fries come in 3 sizes, served in cups versus bags, and are crispy YET soft enough to pack your cup. The lines can get long around lunch/dinner, so try the off hours 1st... you won't be disappointed. As you frequent more often, and you will, be brazen and try bigger combos until you find what you're comfortable with. I will travel 2 1/2 hrs, twice a month, for lunch here and Sac's Tasty Dogs. Avoid McDonald's, Burger King, In & Out, etc... eat at Bud's for a...

Not great, go elsewhere - it is okay at best - nothing to write home about, and plenty of problems. I would've gone 3 stars if they got my order right - I said no lettuce, but it had lettuce. Not worth sending it back over, but it seemed like they were having trouble getting people's orders correct. The inside is also poor, with plywood covering half the customer area, and a non-working bathroom, which by reading other reviews, has been broken for a year or more. The fries were cooked correctly, but many had green edges, meaning that they used a potato that was at least partly bad and should've been discarded. The burger was nothing great - a little overcooked, pretty bland, skimpy on the bacon. If these are supposedly "The Best Burgers in Solano" then we need to do better as a county. Maybe there is nostalgia, or people in the area don't know actually know how a great burger meal should be - I probably...
