0 of 2 people found the following review helpfulAugust 09, 2020Reviewer: Stephen in New Jersey* I have used both the Low Carb Company Hamburger roll and the Smart Baking Company Smart Bun. For now, I think the Low Carb Hamburger Roll is a little better, where the Smart Bun - looks more like a traditional hamburger roll. I am now doing a side by side taste test and will definitively make a clear choice on which one is better.

April 20, 2020Reviewer: Mary in South Carolina* A little tough, but good. Nice to eat a hamburger with a bun again

March 02, 2020Reviewer: A guest* I found the hamburger buns to be a bland. Otherwise the texture was good.
-
August 31, 2019Reviewer: Sharon in Iowa* A bit tough. However, they are a great low carb alternative.
-
August 26, 2019Reviewer: Angie in California* Really good. I gave it a four only because I would like them a little bigger and stronger. Toasting or grilling first gives more strength and with a touch of butter makes them even more tasty. I love hamburgers and missed the bun until we bought these. I like the sesame the best, but they are good without the seeds as well.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 31, 2019Reviewer: Wayne in Maryland* Like the bagels, hamburger buns have the purpose of making it easy to eat something KETO friendly, like nice fatty burgers with bacon, cheese, and more bacon and cheese. They do the job as well as any burger bun. Do not worry about taste or size. They are a bit smaller than the buns I would normally use, but I can get a LOT of burger in there, and the taste of the meats and cheeses I wrap up in the bun completely overwhelm the "taste" experience. These things make normal life almost possible while maintaining a strict limit on Carbs. Great product. They do seem to keep pretty well the fridge too. Just keep them well wrapped and as air tight as possible.

February 11, 2019Reviewer: Lashana in Pennsylvania* The bread tastes good. Actually, it tastes like the no carb bread from the thin slim food company.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 26, 2019Reviewer: A customer in Maryland* I wanted to find a good really low carb hamburger bun, and I think this comes pretty close. I gave it a rating of 4 because it is rather dry. However, to be fair, most very low carb bread products are a bit dry. I found that heating it a bit in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel helped. It also helps to toast it as well. I will be purchasing this product again.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 06, 2019Reviewer: Susan in Virginia* Ok so I gave this a four because no low carb sub is going to taste just like bread. I ordered about 100 dollars worth of this companies breads for my family. Initially i was a little turned off by the spongy texture which toasting in a toaster made no better. (I'm assuming because of the fiber) However I really felt moistness (don't cringe) was missing-so I melted butter and brushed it on generously-sprinkled the buttered side with onion powder then toasted the buns on my griddle and oh my, my burger tasted exquisite compared to my previous attempts with this bread. I now employ this technique for making toast, bagels, etcetera and now deeply appreciate this bread. So if you have trouble with that dry cello sponge like texture, before giving up on it, try it grilled after brushing on melted butter- i also just tried spreading the butter- but the melted butter just seeps in a bit better. Either way the marked improvement flavor and texture wise at a 2g carb casualty is totally worth it!

October 14, 2018Reviewer: Cynthia in Pennsylvania* These are a little on the dense side (more like a bagel than a bun), but if you split them and toast them first, they are better in texture and taste.
-
October 10, 2018Reviewer: A customer in South Carolina* These are a good bun substitute but they are quite expensive.
-
July 12, 2018Reviewer: Fredrick in Michigan* I was pleasantly surprised by these buns. They have more of a bagel like texture, which was perfectly okay with me. Last month, I tried the Smart Buns, but those are too thick and heavy.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulMay 17, 2018Reviewer: A guest* I love these are available. They are a little dense and chewy, but it sure was fun to eat a 'regular' hamburger and not just the patty. They are a little too thick. I literally could not get my mouth around them to bite once I'd added burger and extras and the bread chewing kind of became center over the burger, but I've solved this easily by cutting each bun (they come uncut) into 3 slices instead of 2 and that means I actually get 3 extra buns out of each package, which brings the price down further. win/win!

January 07, 2018Reviewer: Claudia in Arizona* They are ok for low carb bread products. I just wish these companies would get the cost down. There are more and more diabetics in the world now and we need these kinds of products but the cost doesn't help us keep to a good diet to control our blood sugar. We can only order these once in a while.

December 27, 2017Reviewer: Stephen in Washington* I think they are too stiff for hamburger buns but wonderful as a bagel replacement. Slightly toasted with cream cheese and pepperoni slices. Fabulous.
-
August 19, 2017Reviewer: A customer in Missouri* These buns are a major component of my low carb diabetic diet and have never put my blood sugar level over the desired limit. I use them not only for hamburgers but also for other sandwiches with cold meats and vegetable garnish. Now that I am used to them, I scarcely notice that they are low carb, though the texture is slightly different from standard hamburger buns, and the price is certainly very much higher. In my situation I find this is worthwhile. I prefer cold-table European lunches and I have not had to give them up. Neither have I had to give up excellent home made hamburgers. I rate them four out of five because they could still be better, but so far they are the best I have found. I really miss them when I am abroad.

July 06, 2017Reviewer: Deborah in Virginia* Very nice to have a low-carb hamburger bun that is not sweet, unlike the other low-carb bun I've tried. It is a bit like a bagel in texture & toasted up nicely on a skillet. I will continue to buy through Netrition!
-
February 21, 2017Reviewer: Richard in New York* What a good substitute when you want a hamburger but don't want the carbs that come with a traditional bun. These are a little smaller than a typical bun and they are not as fluffy as I would like, but they do hold the burger well and has a neutral taste. I usually buy 3 packs at a time and use them for anything one might use a traditional bun for.

November 09, 2015Reviewer: A customer in Maryland* Taste was ok; held together well. It isn't regular bread; the texture is very chewy.
-
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 11, 2015Reviewer: Corie in Michigan* They have a chewy texture like a pretzel bun with a grainy flavor. Not bad but definitely not fluffy white buns if that's what you're looking for. They do hold up well under a big burger.

10 of 10 people found the following review helpfulMay 04, 2014Reviewer: Thomas in California* The first pack of these was 5 stars all the way, the second pack wasn't even close. There seems to be some issues with quality control with some of their products. The first pack of buns were almost 2 inches thick and were light and tasty. They toasted up perfectly and had a nice texture. The second pack I got was completely underproofed. They were about 1 inch thick and were really dense and tough. It was actually difficult to bite through them. If I had gotten these first I would have never ordered them again. It's a shame that it's such a crapshoot and they aren't more consistent.
-
May 04, 2014Reviewer: A customer in New York* Buns are good, they are small but thick.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulDecember 04, 2013Reviewer: Deborah in Oregon* The hamburger buns have the same dense texture as the bagels and the same great taste. So far, I've only toasted and buttered one, then sprinkled it with a bit of garlic and a bit of Parmesan cheese. They will work PERFECTLY with spaghetti, lasagna, or just about any other hot dish you'd normally have French or sourdough bread with. I'm guessing the dinner rolls will be very much like the hamburger buns but probably smaller. I just wish they weren't so expensive!! If the price ever drops, I'll give these a full 5 stars.
