Needing to lose weight around the belly, I studied quite a bit online to see what foods I could use in my quest and these buns were recommended by quite a few people so I went with them.
I've had them twice so far and the taste isn't bad at all. They're just not quite as soft as a normal hamburger bun. Also they resemble rolls more than hamburger buns when first opening the bag as they're not cut into halves. I went back and forth between 4 and 5 stars on this one only because the overall taste, consistency of the bun and the delivery time. The taste is good and works as a replacement for normal white bread, but its not stellar. The delivery took a little longer than I hoped, but I know in was my timing near Christmas that probably made the delivery delay slightly. I'd love to see some variations of this bun, like the onion loaf buns or subway sandwich type.
In conclusion, if you're looking to have a low-carb alternative for a burger bun of some sort then look no further and try these out. I just don't believe you're going to find a better alternative, but if you do, let me know!
I was worried about the taste, but shouldn't have been. It is a little more gummy than regular bread, but still very familiar and tasted great. It went well with meats/cheeses/etc. as expected. However, 5 hours after one hamburger roll, I have gone from 4+ ketones to 1+ ketones on the test strip. I believe it has the dietary fiber that it says it does, but it also seems to still have the potential to kick you out of ketosis(or close enough). I suppose it will make a good cheat day food since I still had 1+ ketones and it is still better than regular bread.
Not sure what some are complaining about with these. Toasted they make a really nice hamburger bun, more like a Kaiser roll and would work very well for a sandwich as well. Taste was decent and they hold up very well, better than a regular bun does. For the calories and carbs, you can't beat them. Price is a bit high but haven't been able to replicate and they are better than everyone else.
OF COURSE, PEOPLE . . . they don't taste like 'McDonald's', because they have little carbs'. BUT, I've lost 17 lbs. in one month without even being hungry and these buns help satisfy my 'no bread' Atkin's diet with a huge hamburger. Slightly warmed in the toaster, or a short steam in a microwave, makes them taste just fine. Crispy toasted for breakfast with butter works, too! Drench them with butter, Splenda sugar and cinnamon. YUM! I've even made bread pudding with them (low carb) using heavy cream (no carbs) eggs, Splenda and cinnamon. Just whip it up and bake!
I put these in the freezer as soon as I got them several months ago, until I wanted to use them. Pulled one out this morning, let it defrost, and then toasted the bun for a few minutes. Not to where it got browned but just toasty. It was fabulous! Used as a hamburger bun, with the meat, mayonnaise, very small amount of onion, pickle, and tomato, some spinach leaves, and a slice of cheese. Held together very well, and the taste was negligible. Highly recommend these for a low carb or keto diet when buns are needed. Going to try it for grilled cheese next. So glad to have found these!

Warning: toast VERY lightly. Anything more than the lowest setting, and you have a large, hard, crouton! There isn't much flavor, but just add a touch of seasoning and condiments on your burger, and this bun serves as a great, low carb substitute! I wish the hamburger buns came in the everything flavor, and they'd be perfect.
My husband misses eating hamburgers on our Keto diet. But with these, he feels like he's not missing anything! These are definitely not your soft, yummy, carb-filled burger buns, but they are good and they fill you up!
These hamburger buns are really thick and I can actually slice them three times for toast. Their great toasted are great with butter and honey on them toasted. I think there are just awesome. I would definitely recommend them and buy them again. They definitely satisfy my missing carb in bread.
While I won't say they are delicious, I will say they definitely make a good substitution for buns. Flavor-wise it just doesn't really taste like it has that much of a flavor to me. But not in a bad way. I slathered mine in avocado and bacon and made myself a little sandwich and was very happy with my lunch. Would definitely buy these again
I love these hamburger buns...i normally order direct from thinslim food but saw them on amazon. They arrived today...moldy. Not returnable. Thinslim packs them in a cooler...amazon put them in an envelope. Very disappointed and i see no way to rectify since they are not returnable. Im rating the actual buns when they are not moldy...i love them. Will order direct from thinslim from now on since they need to be refrigerated in transut.
