👍👍 I’ve been going to the yellow bus since I was three years old and it is just as I remember it. I lived on Park street when I first moved to America. I used to play on the swings for hours then my grandfather would buy me a small ice cream. It became a daily treat. What I didn’t understand was that... People often mention fries, Beansie', Michigan, good,

    I’ve been going to the yellow bus since I was three years old and it is just as I remember it. I lived on Park street when I first moved to America. I used to play on the swings for hours then my grandfather would buy me a small ice cream. It became a daily treat. What I didn’t understand was that my grandfather saved His change throughout the week to save up for my ice creams. The staff nicknamed me “The Penny Kid,” by the end of the summer. Revisiting Beansie’s as an adult is nostalgic. The staff feels like a family with new faces. The burgers are classic American slider style while the French fries have a classically salty taste. The fries aren’t crispy but that brown soft fry that pairs perfectly with a few sprays of vinegar. Popsicles, canned soda, and hot dogs are all perfect additions to your day at Battery Park. Beansie’s has allowed us to enjoy days, evenings, and sunsets here for years.

    Had to get my Beansie's Bus fix. Went with the Michigan hot dog and a pint of frys. The French frys were awesome as ever. The Michigan was very good

    This is what you want to order when you go to BEANSIE'S! You order the Double Cheeseburger with Michigan sauce, mustard and onions. It was a little over $20 for 2 double CB's and Fry’s - well worth it. Mother would send me to Beansie's as a child and she would say; “get me a minute steak with ketchup and onions” was her favorite. Beansie's Bus is an experience and a local favorite. The best view in Burlington over-looking Lake Champlain from Battery Park. Quality food costs money and with inflation- yes we all have to pay a little more. Thank you Beansie's for serving us throughout the decades!

    Prices are unlike anywhere else in Burlington Vermont, and FOR A YUMMY BURGER?! I accept. Only issue is they seem to be cash only, so if you’re like me and have Bank of America, sorry to say that you may have to find an atm out of state before coming to this delicious truck. However it is well worth it, as it accommodates towards the community of individuals (such as myself when I was unemployed) who suffer from limited income. That plus the food is very good!

    They changed owners a few years ago but I still enjoy getting my hotdogs and fries here before battling the seagulls for my food and looking out over the lake. Highly recommend coming here for that mid day lunch with the family, friends, or just yourself!

    This place is so so soooo over priced. 7.00 for a hamburger SMALLER THAN the size of a McDonald’s kids burger. PLUS 50 cents extra for a squirt of BBQ sauce on IT, ridiculous!! Fries are good but mega expensive too. CASH only business. Totally not worth the novelty of eating something made in an old school bus !

    It's March so only a few weeks till Beansie's Bus opens. Really looking forward to the burger, fries and all the other great food and friendly faces 😊👍

    Very good local meal and friendly staff. Be wary if you buy fries and go to the nearby park to eat then the homeless people will beg you to give them for fries.

    Food was not bad, but we found the prices too high for the amount of food you get. $4 for fries that can really fit in your palm. Don’t come here hungry!

    Everyone who works here and the owner are the SWEETEST DOWN TO EARTH people Iv ever meet! I'm from NY and I didn't have the cash and they said "just give it to us next time" my HEART! I cried because it was the sweetest thing ever the fact that they trust a complete stranger I'm paying what I owe tomorrow and interest of a tip for not having it and I appreciate the act of kindness we need MORE KIND HEARTED PPL LIKE BEANSIES BUS!!🥲❤🤗 to be compassion and trust in this world. Thank you Beanies! I will tell everyone of your kindness!

    I just graduated from UVM and went for the first time yesterday, on the last day before they closed for the season. The lady serving me gave me free fries and a drink. She was incredibly kind and it really made my day, plus the food was excellent. I'm excited to go back in April!!

    I ordered a cheeseburger and a creemee. The creemee wasn't creamy at all and I could taste ice crystals. The cheeseburger was just sad -- the patty was thin and dry, and the flavor wasn't impressive. I guess it's a good place to grab a bite when you're in Battery Park and need a quick snack, but otherwise, for the price, it isn't worth making the trip. They also only accept cash btw.

  • 5/5 Nicole K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food. Ordered the Michigan dog, a hamburger with Michigan sauce and fries. The fries were awesome and they give you a lot- 2 people could split a small. The Michigan sauce was very tasty and a little spicy which I really liked. They’re cash only so come prepared!

    A Burlington tradition! We went to Beansies for a Mothers Day 2022 cheeseburger! Don't forget the creamies!! PS. There is an ATM there now!!!
