Hot Buns

A coworker of mine wanted really really bad to go to this place. He had heard a rumour that it was like hooters and similar chains, so I was curious. But girls in hotpants and small tops combined with food has always been a little cringeworthy for me.
I ordered a burger with a little extras, as other people here in Unilocal had recommended and I absolutely agree — paying a little extra is definitely worth it. I am a sucker for sweet potato fries, and I naturally went with these and their garlic mayo. The mayo itself was a little bland and the burger had a little too much of the green stuff in it, but it was pretty okay. The bun was a little soft and could probaly have gotten a little longer in the oven/​grill.
But the fries. Holy moly, I loved those fries. Messing up sweet potato fries is incredibly hard, but they managed to put some seasoning on those fries, of which I couldn’t pinpoint, but they were incredibly tasty! And most likely the best I’ve had for quite some time.
And yes, the waiters were exactly as you’d expect. Lots of makeup and bootyshorts/​hotpants.
I have mixed feeling about coming back. I didn’t love the burger, but i LOVED their fries.

I’ve been in Europe for almost two months now and this is the best food I’ve eaten! Call me American, but you can’t I wrong with burgers. (Well, you can, but this place can’t!) The sauces were amazing, the fries were amazing, and the burgers especially were amazing. Perfectly cooked.
The mojito pitcher was just as amazing– we thought it was virgin at first since we couldn’t taste the alcohol, but then after two we realized it was just made very well.
Atmosphere was amazing– I feel a little bad for the girls, though since it’s very cold in Copenhagen now and they have to wear tank tops and shorts as their uniform.
Only thing that cod be improved is the section of burger. But other than that– no complaints!

People must be smoking crack… This place is incredible! Very friendly customer service and I had a hamburger that changed my life. You should order it too. It’s called «the hangover.»

We have gone here twice now and we have not been disappointed. The vegetarian burger is very tasty and the others I have tried were good as well. The waitress recommended the wine to me as I do not drink beer. I normally am a bit skeptic about the wine they have in this type of places but I had to agree with the waitress that it was actually pretty good. The fries are good but maybe just a bit more would be even better? The only thing that bothers me is that it is very warm inside (probably so that the skimpy-​dressed waitresses do not get cold). And the price is quite high so leave out the option number 3 (sauce to your fries) because it is not included in the price of the burger even though it looks that way. Just ask for ketchup :-)

Muy bueno, exelente servicio y hamburguesas muy saborosas. El precio es razonable.
Cerca del centro y buenas vistas a la calle. Musica de ambiente muy buena. La decoracion de local es muy interesante.

Restaurante de hamburguesas muy bueno y sobre todo original. Tiene WiFi gratis, genial si eres de fuera!
Los precios no están nada mal por ser Copenhague y el ambiente con música ambiente es agradable. Tienen interior y algunas mesas en la calle. Nos atendieron muy correctamente y en general mesas y baños estaban limpios.
Nada más que pedir.

My friends and I visited on a Monday night, thinking that the kitchen was open until 10pm. We arrived a little before 9pm, not knowing that their kitchen was closing in a few minutes. Even so, the staff allowed us to order quickly. I ordered the Mexican burger, and my friends ordered the Paleo and the HB. We all also ordered the twister fries. With an addition of tap water, I believe my personal total came out to be 155DKK.
The Mexican burger was interesting with Nacho chips inside that were a lot like Cool Ranch Doritos; I would say the burger was so-​so especially for the price, but the twisted fries tasted cajun and I loved it! The buns were soggy and ended up crumbling apart which is a huge turn off for me.
I think the only reason why I am giving it such a high rating is because of their service even when we came in last minute. The waitresses messed up my friends’ orders more than once as well. I wouldn’t highly recommend this place, but maybe if you are in the area you can give it a try!

Poor atmosphere, impersonal and poor service (waiters didn’t seem particularly busy but it took us a while to get hold of one and order) no clarification of the menu, no asking for side orders or burguer temperature either.
The burguer came fast and it was tasty but the meat was over-​cooked to my taste. When we realized we forgot to order sides, we asked for the twisted chips. They did taste good and they were crispy, but they came straight from a pack and any restaurant can do something better.
Would not return.

Terrible overpriced burgers alert. Terrible service too.
This is definitely the copenhagen hooters. but I’m not into a restaurant that has this as a gimmick. The servers are terrible and we waited so long to order. There werent any one in the store. And the girl didn’t remember who ordered which burger, and gave us the wrong one.
Also, terrible burgers, worst than big mac in Mcdonald. The buns were burnt and black. The taste of the patty isnt significant. It feels like eating a mixture of burger.
Other than that, the fries and its sauce its pretty good. but they are easy to make. I got chili mayo, great sauce but pricy.
I do not recommend anyone to come here, you’ll thank me for saving your money for another meal

Hooters waitresses aside, the burgers were a disappointment. Meat used was too lean and slightly overdone and the other ingredients, while good on their own, blended into a spicy-​salty mush. Sweet potato fries were alright, but the habanero mayo didn’t pack much punch.
It wasn’t awful, but if you’re talking about «gastro-​burgers», you should really give the dishes a bit more love and character.
²⁄₅ wouldn’t go again.

Don’t get the paleo burger. What a mess. I’m sure the other burgers with a real bread bun are fine. The calamari was good but not fried as the menu describes

The staff was friendly and the food got to our table quickly, but the burger was very bland, somewhat soggy and with a rather red beef to my taste. All in all pretty disappointing in a city where you can get Halifax burgers for the same price.

«Oh, wait… are we in some kind of Danish Hooters?»
It took about five minutes after sitting down for me to put together the name Hot Buns with the hot-​pants-​clad waitresses and American-​diner style burger and wings menu.
In typical CPH style, this place was gorgeously furnished, perfectly lighted, chicly styled and, from the sidewalk, simply seemed to be riding the posh burger wave we are currently enjoying in London.
The menu had a good variety with wings, themed burgers (including the slightly cringe worthy «illegal mexican»), a plethora of fries styles (sweet potato, curly and hand cut) and all the diner sides you expect like onion rings and fried calamari. Even a homemade sauce section.
But … it wasn’t that tasty. It wasn’t awful, and it was delivered hot, but just sort of bland and greasy. My hot wings were more like season-​less deep fried chicken wings with a sort of thin, spicy-​sweet ketchup for dipping. The curly fries were great but the burger a tad meh. More bun than anything else.
And for a place that seems to be eager to be a «lad’s» haunt, they had just two beer options: Carlsberg and Heineken. This felt downright insulting after discovering the «pitchers» section of the menu was cocktails by the jug (mojitos, sangria). Sigh
Service was friendly and super quick, price was ok, but just overall missing the mark; never fully manifesting as either as a tongue-​in-​cheek dude-​centric diner OR a posh-​burgers-​and-​craft-​beer joint with pretty servers.

Went here on what it seamed to be a busy saturday night and Waitresses took quite some time to take our order. Even though we were told by the hostess that waiting time to get our food will be around 45 min, it really took them way less than that (which was awesome!) to deliver our massively delicious blue cheese and bacon burgers (we were quite hungry so portions were just PERFECT). Ambiance is really cool, cozy and relax. Music is just so good there ;) will definitely come back when visiting Copenhagen again ;).

So we had to try the newest place with all the controversy, and there were of course good and bad points:
Good
Décor was very cozy and thought out
Cool light fixture when you first come in
Menu has alcoholic milkshake options
Burger was a good size and fries were yummy
Waitresses were friendly
Not so Good
Burger Bun are oversized, dry and no flavor (Ironic, huh??)
Menu a bit limited
Truffle mayo didn’t really taste of truffle
Service was not ready yet. The girls were nice, but we had one girl take our drink order, than another came up and greet us again, not knowing that her colleague had already greeted us.
As with the whole concept, it doesn’t seem to match the décor, because it is nicely decorated with good taste, and then you have the waitress’ outfits… it just doesn’t seem to match each other, so the concept doesn’t seem as clear as say… Hooters?
Anyway, I would still seek out other burger places for quality and value for money…
