Hungry Bull Burger Co.

The food here is amazing. The flavors and pairings are on point. Raj is super nice and welcoming. You CANNOT go wrong with the hungry bull burger and the disco fries. The service combined with the great food will have me coming back always.

Wow. Fantastic find here in Connecticut. For the longest time we've been in search for "the" burger, and I think we may have found it.

The restaurant has a selection of different dishes, not just burgers... and they deliver meals that are not only extremely tasty, but innovative as well.

My wife had the burger of the week, a pineapple piña colada crating that was incredibly tasty. I opted for one of their menu burgers but was not disappointed. They were able to make to order, and we asked for ours to be cooked medium so they came back to us perfect-- not the usual dry overcooked patty you can get anywhere else.

(Definitely try the burger-of-the-week!)

But the fries-- I've never had fries like this. Large wedges that looked like a cross between a crescent moon and surfboards, they were perfectly balanced to be slightly crispy on the outside, but nevertheless retain the flavor of the potato underneath. Honestly-- if you come, get an order of fries and try a side of a burger.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the staff were so welcoming and amazing. The owner came by to see how we were doing and talk about their food and restaurant-- I really love supporting local eateries like this that acre for their food and customers so much.

Stop by with friends and family for a great treat!

Today was one of the days that Google Review’s 5 Star option wasn’t enough.

Why do I say that? Because today’s combination of great food, reasonable pricing, and OUTSTANDING Customer Service merited ten stars.

We had lunch at the Hungry Bull today, and shortly after we sat down, we had the pleasure of meeting Raj who brought out the menus along with his megawatt star power of a personality. He was plain old fantastic, and a real pleasure to interact with as we chatted throughout our meal on a variety of subjects.

My wife and I both ordered a “Build Your Own’ version of their 6-ounce chuck, brisket and short rib burger. The burgers were $9 each and we customized them with some of Hungry Bull’s free toppings – Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce Tomato, Red Onion, Jalapenos and Bull Sauce, which is kind of like a Thousand Island Dressing.

We told Raj we planned to split an order of Sweet Potato fries, and this is where his customer service went off the charts. He asked us if we had ever been here before, and when we said “no” he strongly suggested we try their regular fries because they were different and very popular. He was so persuasive (almost evangelical) about them that we accepted his recommendation and ordered the regular fries.

He was 1,000% correct, those $4.50 fries were amazing. They looked like curved and very thick potato chips but weren’t exactly potato chips. Yes, they were crunchy on the outside like chips, but soft in the middle like steak fries. They were unlike any French Fry we have ever had. And the order was plenty for us to share.

And then there were the burgers. Big and juicy and flavorful on super fresh rolls with fresh toppings, well they were magnificent.

We enjoyed the entire experience at the Hungry Bull, and I assure you that we did not leave hungry at all.

An absolute hidden gem that is serving up some amazing burgers and other delicious food. The people here are very personable and you can tell they really care about their craft. Definitely will be back!!!

Done to go orders here a couple times and decided on a sit down. Got a variety of burgers and sides this time. Most of the onion rings were nice and thin and crispy. A few didn't get separated, so were a little less crispy, but I also understand that some people like it that way, so no ding.

The signature fries were still amazing. No one does fries like this and these are probably worth the price of admission on their own.

We tried the signature burger, the south of the border and the bullseye this go around. I would recommend all of them. The only thing you heard from our table was groans of pleasure and empty drink cups. (that's the reason for the service ding)

If you haven't been, you should absolutely check this place out. You will not be sorry.

Went here for take out for the first time since I believe they opened which was sometime during covid I think.

I ordered myself a burger topped with bacon avocado slices cheese and two patties and I was not disappointed.

Burger was juicy and flavorful, bacon crispy and added a nice salty taste. Avocado was fresh as well.

My side of fries I asked for them extra crispy so they would travel well. When I was given my order he said I hope they're crispy enough to your liking and let me tell you about these fries.

Imagine potato chips puffed and filled with potato. That's what you get there's plenty in a bag too. You'll think it's not much but these are so tasty, crispy and surprisingly quite filling.

I wlll definitely be going back sooner than later considering these fries and burger game out to around $20 and the only place I can think of burger and fry wise for that price is five guys and this place is about equally close to me.

You will see me again Hungry Bull!

I saw the incredible reviews for this restaurant and needed to give it a try.
When we arrived, we walked up to the counter and soon learned that we could sit where we want and use the QR code on the table to order our food. I love restaurants that use this system as it is nice to be able to look at the menu on my phone, order it, and then the staff will bring over our food. I will mention that we did not get waters or anything upon sitting, so be sure to bring your own drink. (It is BYOB so you can bring your alcohol from the store next if you want.)
Once the staff brought our food to our menu, we found out why we saw so many glowing reviews about the fries. They were the perfect combination of crisp and thick. Honestly, the best french fries I have had at a restaurant. The burgers were delicious as well.
Overall, great place for a bite to eat.

EDIT - 2024:

3 YEARS later & still consistent & delicious! From soups & salads to appetizers & mains there is nothing I wouldn't recommend!!

PREVIOUS REVIEW:

Great addition to the Plainville Burger Scene!

Spectacular food made with quality ingredients; absolutely recommend.

We started with wings which were cooked and sauced nicely. Great flavor and no gloppy mess to contend with. Mains consisted of two types of burgers and a chicken sandwich. Both varieties were well executed resulting in flavorful, juicy meat. Side fries? Dare I say perfect?!? Luscious, golden, perfectly fried & salted! Definitely a favorite! We also indulged in a thick, rich, creamy milkshake. Well worth it and a potential problem in summer months!!

I recently went back for some side orders of chili and soups. All were delicious and well seasoned - I'll make those a habit for work lunches!!

Quick Summation: Put Their Food in Your Face - You Will Love It!

This place was amazing! Searching for a good burger spot and this one popped up. We tried it and it was a hit. Food was delicious. Customer service was top notch. The owners there greeted us and sat us right down. You can bring in your own beer and the best part is they have a liquor store right next to the restaurant which made the experience overall the best.

Enjoyed a delicious late lunch here with my husband. We ordered loaded fries, an all American burger and a build your own burger. Everything was so yummy! Their fries are unique and so tasty....not greasy at all!
We ate in and the restaurant was clean, had interesting decor and our server was very friendly and efficient!
We will be back!

We love this place, my son says is the best burger he ever had. Everything here is good there sweet potato fries were so crispy never got soggy. There Asian boneless wings were out is this world. The owner Ramen is very welcoming and takes the time to get to know her customers.

Delicious…if you think you’ve had great burgers and fries think again. This place is fantastic! Quick service with fresh food. Great prices for amazing burgers. Our table had chili fries, didn’t last long enough to take a picture! Definitely coming back again and again

Been here quite a few times and it's always a great meal! Their burger with brisket on it is fantastic, might be my favorite burger in Plainville. Their fries are some of the best I've ever had. All the staff is super nice as well. I don't drink but it's BYOB if you're into that and there's a liquor store next door. Recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic! I had a seminar around the corner and had been running around all day. At 2pm, was finally able to stop to get something to eat. Very quiet. I opted to dine in. Self seating. I was greeted immediately and had a menu very quickly. Placed order which arrived in well enough time. Picture perfect meal, which I finished quickly. Would recommend to anyone that is in the area and even those that may have to drive a bit if that's the sort of atmosphere you are looking for.

This was a great experience. I ordered the Route 10 burger, disco fries, and chili. The fries were different in a good way. Thinly sliced potato skins, covered with gravy and small cubes of cheese. They were very good. The chili was excellent, great flavor with a little bite. The burger was beautifully cooked, juicy, tender, and complemented nicely by the toppings. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 9.4.

First time here and we LOVED IT! it’s bob and conveniently a liquor store is right next store. We had to try a few different things and everything we had was amazing! Mac and cheese and the loaded fries were our favorite! Definitely will be back!

Visited Hungry Bull Burger last night to celebrate National Burger Month and National Burger Day! I’m not usually big into burgers, but The Hungry Bull burger was fantastic! I really think the blend of chuck, brisket, and short rib made a huge difference. They cooked the burger perfectly too - it had just the right amount of pink in the middle. The thin, crispy onion rings on top with the bbq brisket was just so yummy. Rosol’s hot dogs are great, so we were happy to see they served them on the menu. The hot chicken sandwich was pretty good! I really enjoyed the crispy chicken patty, but wish it had a little more of a spicy coating on it. The spicy Mayo was good though, and the pickles were super fresh! I was addicted to the French fries the whole time. They were perfectly salted, and I really liked the wedge-like shape. I also liked the choice of cavatappi pasta for the Mac and cheese. Overall, a great fast-casual spot that I will definitely visit again when I’m craving a good burger!

Very good burger. Pricey, but not outrageous. They need to work a little on service, but not horrible. The cooks are working hard and the fries were great. I would go again.

The food was excellent and so was the staff. I'm not a huge burger person, but I found them to be delicious and would definitely go back. The owners went above and beyond to make sure our experience was a good one.

What a great little place in Plainville, CT!  You might miss it driving by but it is 100% worth the visit.  Clean inside with very friendly service.  All food items were fantastic.  Chocolate milkshake with whipped cream was super thick and tasted great.  Rt 10 Hamburger was by far the best tasting burger anywhere remotely close to here.  It was cooked perfectly and the tri-blend of meats totally makes a difference in taste.  French fries are in a class by itself with a unique shape and cut.  Fries have a great crunch with a soft inside and just the right amount of salt.  Maybe the fries alone are worth the visit??  Ranchero chicken sandwich was a good size with tender chicken and full of flavor.  Onion rings also cooked perfectly, super crunchy but not soggy inside.  You can tell all ingredients were freshly prepared.  Very impressed with the food and service at Hungry Bull... everything tasted so good!!!
