This newer burger joint opened up earlier this year. Located in Gung-dong, Daejeon’s university district, Buns-n-Stuff offers a cheaper, but equally delicious, alternative to House Grill.
Burgers are simple but customizable. Add raw onions or grilled onions, lettuce or tomato — pickles come with the burger, or on the side. All burgers come topped with a Thousand-Island-esque sauce.
Fries, both plain and sprinkled with cajun spices, as well as onion rings are available for a decent price. My favorite menu items are the milkshakes — frothy, creamy and topped with whipped cream. Of particular note is the Oreo milkshake. Be sure to ask for the whipped cream on top to ensure you get the Oreo cookie.
Buns-n-stuff is highly recommended if you are in the university area and are craving a decent burger and a reasonable price.
Atmosphere (Out of 5)
4- Small but cozy. For some reason, there is only a women’s bathroom in the restaurant. Men must use the bathroom in the adjacent building.
Service (Out of 5)
4- Order at the counter and pay; a server brings the food later. Our cashier was kind and patient.
