The Best And Worst Hamburger Buns To Buy At The Grocery Store

msn.com |2025

No. 1: Martin's Potato Rolls

Our favorite burger buns tend to be potato rolls thanks to the flavor and texture and Martin's is the gold standard. These buns are light and fluffy but still hefty enough to hold up to a big burger plus all the fixings. The inside is particularly soft and complements meaty burgers well. Thanks to tender potato flour in the recipe, Martin's potato rolls have a springy, softness, as well as a distinct buttery taste that carries through from the soft interior to the golden top.

These cost around 50 cents per bun, which is on the high side compared to some options on our list, but the taste and texture will justify the higher cost. They have 6 grams of protein, which is as much as some of the high-protein options on our list, and only 5 grams of added sugar. If you love the rolls, you can find the same ones in slider size.

The Burger Bun Anthony Bourdain Always Preferred

chowhound.com |2025

As simple as it may be, the humble burger always seems to find ways to surprise us. Even once you've identified the best type of beef for the juiciest burgers and perfected your patty packing technique for maximum tenderness, there is still the little matter of choosing the ideal vehicle. With all the brioche, sesame seed, and even English muffin applications in circulation, choosing can seem less like a labor of love and more like a plain old chore. So, when selecting a bun is something you'd rather leave off the menu, the work of legends like the late celebrity chef, author, and television personality Anthony Bourdain can point to a path. And Bourdain powerfully favored the potato bun. Arguably the icon of the genre, top-selling Martin's potato rolls are probably an outlying case where store-bought is just truly going to be better than homemade. The popular buns also happen to be just the right size to achieve Anthony Bourdain's one-hand rule for better burgers.

miaminewtimes.com |2025

Smash burgers, according to Miami’s very own burger expert Sef Gonzalez of Burger Beast, who has written about his burger escapades in Miami since 2008, aren’t just a regular burger that’s been smashed down with your hands. There’s an actual science behind them. “Look up the Maillard reaction. That’s what causes the crust,'” he texts me before we hop on a call to discuss the beauty that is a smash burger. As for his all-time favorites? Gonzalez says Ted’s and United States Burger Service (USBS) are his top contenders in the Miami smash burger scene. That’s in addition to his own, the Cruz Diablo smash burger, which he sells wherever he pops up around Miami.

Babe's Meat & Counter - Today, the most popular menu item is the “Babe’s” burger, a smash burger cooked to order on the grill, then topped with American cheese, housemade pickles, and sriracha mayo, and placed on a Martin’s potato roll. Real burger lovers love Babe’s.

Masa Craft Kitchen at MIA Beer Company - Masa’s smash burgers start with a locally sourced house blend of brisket, chuck, and hanger, freshly ground and griddled to perfection. Paired with a beer at MIA Beer Company, you’re in for a treat. The restaurant’s fried onion smash burger is what dreams are made of. It is made of a double beef patty, thinly sliced sweet Vidalia onions smashed into the patties, American cheese, house “Woo!” sauce, house pickles, and a Martin’s potato roll.

Ted’s Burgers Pop-Up at J. Wakefield Brewing - These days, you’ll find Armas’ weekend-only pop-up at J. Wakefield Brewing in Wynwood, where fans line up for up to an hour to get a taste of his “OKC Fried Onion Burger” made with special “T” sauce and fried onions, and the “American Classic,” prepared to order with your choice of a single, double, or triple patty. Finished on a Martin’s potato roll, these are the Platonic ideal of the smash burger.
