Bun & Patti

I came to San Diego for a weekend getaway and saw Chef Shawn's post on Instagram. After looking at the menu, I made it a point to stop by. We came by on a Thursday for a late dinner. We arrived around 8:45 pm and they were able to accommodate us at the indoor/outdoor bar. They had a live performer singing to enhance the ambiance. She was pretty good.The host was wonderful and Chef Shawn came to check in on us. I had a mezcal drink that our server recommended.But the food was the star of the show. We started with the brussels sprouts, which had a unique smokey + sweet flavor that was delightful. The hot honey and garlic pram wings were good too.I had the surf and turf burger and it was amazing. Very fresh beef and the crab cake combined was a wonderful experience. It's a lot of burger but every bite is savory and delicious.The truffle fries were an added bonus to the meal; highly recommend over the onion rings. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good burger in Little Italy

We love this place best burger and fries very gourmet Your not getting a cheap burger it's delicious We also love the fries the are soooo good definitely worth going to this place

Nice burger spot in Little Italy, away from the busy main plaza area! A little pricey if you are not sharing, so the reason for 4 out of 5. Food: My bf & I split the Notorious B&P burger with fries and got the chips with guacamole & salsa. The chips were delicious, super flavorful & crispy! My bf really liked the salsa. Nothing special about the guacamole. The burger was HUGE, definitely glad we split it. It was tasty and juicy. If you happen to be hungover & craving a good burger, this is the spot!Service: Waitress was very friendly and attentive! Ambiance: The decor is super trendy and picturesque! There is indoor and outdoor sitting, a lot of TVs. Completely open, so may get pretty hot on a warm day. Overall, will be back as long as I am with someone & splitting a burger.

This place is a total vibe. My best friend and I had a reservation at a place nearby and wanted to grab a cocktail before hand so we walked to Bun and Patti and I am SO happy we did. The ambiance is dark and vibey. The bartender was super nice and made great martinis. They have something called boujee tots that have caviar, truffle, and a lime crème fresh that looks AMAZING and I will be back to try it. I feel like we stumbled across a hidden gem with this one and can't wait to come back to try the food!

We grabbed a seat near the kitchen when we arrived. I asked them to make me a mocktail version of hubby's drink and it was delightful! I still wanted to try one of their shakes, so I chose the Bang Bang. It had a Belgium waffle on top!For starters, I had to get the Baker's bacon. It was thick and had a berry glaze with jalapenos on top- it was so yummy! The Frisky Fried Cauliflower is one way to get me to eat my veggies LOL.Hubby loved the portobello mushroom fries, which had a crispy and cheesy batter. We usually get different entrees to try, but we both really wanted the Smoke Show burger. The presentation was really cool, with the fog effect. I enjoyed my burger and side of truffle fries. I liked that the burger wasn't huge too. Hubby got onions rings instead and they were nice and crispy. Their offerings were really interesting and everything was high-quality.

We really liked our trip to Bun and Patti. The inside was had a lot of slick black colors with low red lights and gave it a very classy feel. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They came by to fill water and help us with big smiles and were happy to let us move seats when another large party cancelled on them. The TVs were big and easily viewable without being overly distracting. The food was really good. Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly and were delicious. I got the Smoke Show burger and it came out under a smoked glass dish and had a fun presentation. It also helped that it was really good. Overall it was very clean, elegant, and felt upscale without being too expensive and the smoke show was excellent

Everything was amazing the wings are fantastic! Favorite burger is the smoke show it has great presentation as well, drinks are super cute and love the happy hour ! Come for brunch ! The service was by far the best

The fries were straight from a freezer bag. I guess I expected more from a gourmet type hamburger place. The hamburger was just ok. Nothing to write home about.

A more modern take on burgers and American food. I came on a Saturday night and the place was nearly empty, with about two patrons sitting at the bar. It's located on the less busy side of Downtown on Kettner Blvd. Inside, the atmosphere was dark, and their red neon sign lit the restaurant.We ordered their Portobello Mushroom fries and the Notorious B&P Burger. The fries were served with a red pepper aioli and were extra crunchy! Loved this app. The burger was a double patty with cheddar, pickles, lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, and their secret sauce on a brioche bun. The ingredients propped well on top of each other that it did not make a mess. Taste wise, it was juicy and well seasoned.I would suggest Bun & Patti for anyone looking for a nice ambience with a slightly more upscale take on gourmet burgers. I really like it here and would come back to grab a bite or something before continuing a night downtown. They also host events such as trivia nights on Tuesdays @6:30 pm and you can win some cash prizes.

First time in San Diego and first food stop of our trip . This place was amazing. The ambience was perfect ..open air space and clean. The service was great and the owner Sean was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We both had burgers that were cooked to perfection and my hibiscus margarita was absolutely perfect . We also had the hummus with pita bread as an appetizer and it was delicious . Hands down the best hummus I've had .Will definitely be coming back. Side note : this is the only place that will ever get me to eat cooked carrots because that's how good they were.
