Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the steak burger and loaded sides, with diners praising the Buns Steak as juicy and the loaded dirty cheesy fries as gooey and generous. The Japanese cheese burger, a loaded Philly steak and a genuinely spicy burger also draw praise, and the Donner Burger is described as a good size. Close behind, a returning former student calls the milkshake just as good as remembered. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, welcoming and attentive, and several reviewers say the portions and prices feel fair. The pink decor gets a mention too. The recurring complaint is speed. One diner found the till slow and unenthusiastic, with limited seating that suits takeaway better than a group, and others note a wait for food during busy spells. The harshest review describes a delivery that took two hours, arrived cold, and came with stale chips and wings that were cold in places, after a phone call about timing. One reviewer says the shop stayed open past midnight, and a late-night visitor left with a loaded Philly steak and cheesy fries.

“I used to get Buns Burger milkshakes when I lived in Lenton as a student. Graduated 2 years ago and moved away. Drove back into town today specifically to get a milkshake from here and it was just as good as I remembered ☺️ The staff were very friendly and chatty, great service, 10/10 milkshake!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Late Review but Still Fresh in My Mind – Brilliant Late-Night Spot! I visited Buns Burgers a while ago and I’ve been meaning to leave this review ever since. I don’t usually have any reason to be in Nottingham (I live well over 100 miles away and the drive home takes more than 2 hours), but I was in the city for an event one evening and needed a quick, satisfying late-night bite before hitting the road. The bright pink aesthetics and flashy colours immediately caught my eye as I was driving past it just looks fun and inviting! I popped in and I’m so glad I did. This place is a proper gem for good, honest food that won’t break the bank. I ordered the loaded Philly steak and cheesy fries, and both were excellent. The Philly was packed with flavour, juicy, cheesy, and really hit the spot after a long day. The cheesy fries were gooey, generous, and addictive exactly what you want when you’re fuelling up for a long drive home. The staff were genuinely nice and friendly, even at that late hour, which made the whole experience feel welcoming. Prices are very reasonable too, especially for the portion sizes you get. It genuinely left a strong positive impression on me. Nottingham’s food scene might not be the first thing that comes to mind for most people, but if places like Buns Burgers are around, it’s clearly doing something right! Address: 119 Ilkeston Rd, Nottingham NG7 3HE Parking is somewhat okay as it’s on a street you’ll probably need to pay during the day, but since I went late at night it was much easier. A big plus is that they stay open past midnight, which was perfect for my situation. All in all, if you’re in the area and fancy a tasty burger, Philly cheesesteak or loaded sides at a fair price with friendly service, definitely check out Buns Burgers. I’d go back in a heartbeat if I’m ever in Nottingham again. Solid 5 stars – thank you for the great late-night feed! 🍔🌟”

“I had such a great experience here thanks to one of the employees who served me. Omar. His service was genuinely outstanding. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and you can tell he really cares about making customers feel comfortable and looked after. It’s rare to come across someone who goes above and beyond the way he did. His positive attitude and professionalism made the whole experience so much better. Honestly, he’s an absolute asset to the place and deserves huge recognition for the amazing service he provides!!”
