If you’ve ever searched for burgers in Pleasant Grove and felt underwhelmed by the results, you’re not alone. Plenty of places promise a great burger, but only a few actually deliver something memorable.
That’s why locals keep talking about the burgers at Onoh’s Malasada Co. Known first for malasadas, Onoh’s has built one of the most interesting burger menus in the area by doing one simple thing differently: serving burgers on malasada buns.
These burgers have become a go-to for people who want something that feels worth the drive and the calories.
What actually makes a burger worth the hype?
A hyped burger needs more than a catchy name. It needs to deliver on a few basics every single time:
- A quality beef patty that holds up on its own
- A bun that adds flavor instead of getting in the way
- Toppings that feel intentional, not stacked just for looks
- A balance of textures and flavors in every bite
Onoh’s burgers check those boxes by starting with Certified Angus beef patties and pairing them with malasada buns that bring a soft, slightly sweet contrast to savory toppings.
Why burgers on malasada buns work so well
At first glance, a malasada bun might sound like a novelty. In practice, it makes a lot of sense.
Malasadas are fluffy, lightly sweet, and sturdy enough to hold a burger without falling apart. That subtle sweetness works especially well with salty, smoky, and tangy flavors, which is why these burgers feel balanced instead of over-the-top.

More than burgers
Onoh’s started with malasadas, and the sweet side of the menu is a big draw. Many people turn a burger stop into a full experience by adding a sugar-coated malasada for dessert.
That mix is part of why the burgers stand out. You can come hungry, eat a full meal, and still feel like you tried something different.
