I've been eating these burgers since I was a little girl. There is no other place around Like it. It's private owned by a local family and the new generations keep taking over and keeping the same recipes and the same stuff we love about Bartels Giant Burger. McDonald's ain't got nothing on these guys fresh cooked to order French fries that you get piping hot every time. I always get my onions grilled and add an Ortega green chili pepper that they cook right on the grill with the onions. My mouth is watering from just typing this. They make a delicious grilled Cheese for the kiddos. And their old fashioned milk shakes are so delicious. If you haven't eaten here then you must be new in town. And youd better get over there and check it out. read more

Stopped on the way up to Oregon because I seen that they do a giant burger so very disappointing their giant burger, especially on their double cheeseburger was too smashed patties that didn't equate to a quarter pound hamburger patty. The burger had no flavor whatsoever. I was totally disappointed. I could honestly got a better burger at McDonald's. I used to live right down the street when I lived in Anderson and this place was actually pretty good way back when why they're serving mediocre meat just doesn't make any sense and then charge you $16 for a double cheeseburger I would not ever recommend this place. This was my double cheeseburger. You get a bigger patty at McDonald's on their single cheeseburger. The lettuce was welted The lady at the counter said they had no pickles this place is definitely ripping people off saying they have giant burgers and they're giving you a little smash burgers should be ashamed of yourself. read more

Very unfortunate. We're locals that have been coming for years and recently, we've noticed intentional overcharging. Today, I got home and was missing a burger. I called immediately and unfortunately, Autumn was very unhelpful on purpose. Originally, she tried to tell me I didn't order what I was charged for. Then, proceeded to tell me she couldn't break down why 3 burgers (one kids) and 3 fries was 38.63$. Which was unfortunate because I ensure to tip every time as well. She refused to break down the cost and said she was unable to ring anything up on her register unless I came in so she could override my mistake. I have never been spoken to in that way. Never once did she try to fix the issue. We won't be returning. Make sure to get an itemized receipt. I've been overcharged 8-20$ the last three visits. They are very rude when asked as well with the excuse that they've recently raised prices. I kindly reminded them they would have to update the board to reflect that as to not be falsely advertising and stealing patrons money. read more

Food was great and definitely recommend getting their popular giant burger! Real meat not the fake premade. Adding the traditional fry sauce and homemade vanilla shake makes the meal complete. Plenty of parking. I'd give 6 stars if possible for food! Was raining outside, temperature inside was nice. You can preorder and pickup your orders. Cute setup, food made in front of you. read more

We stopped here as they showed up as pet friendly. It was 104 at 5 pm and they brought my Bella fresh water. I was sending my partner out to the car for my pups dinner when they told me they made pup patties. We did not get her one since we're on a road trip and did not want to introduce new foods. All the employees were gracious each and every moment. Food was great, fresh ingredients. Fries were perfectly crispy shoestrings and the chocolate shake was thick! Bella's rating is 5 toebeans up! read more

solid burger, i should have added ketchup when i told them to hold the mayo. The mocha malt shake was just enough flavor to be yummy but not overpowering. The fries were hot, crisp and perfectly salted! read more

In my opinion Bartels is a notch above Inn & Out Burger but doesn't have the long line. My only word of caution is, if you google them and call in an order, make sure you call the right one as sometimes google brings up an out of town location. read more

this place has gone downhill. You can get a better burger at Arby's. The fries are greasy and cold and their prices are way overrated. you should be able to get a decent burger now the burgers are smaller and the quality of beef is not that great. read more

Friendly. Tasty. Fresh. Fast. Definitely get yourself some fry sauce, my dudes. It's good on fries and on burgers. read more

Food is not great especially for the price. Very greasy. People were not friendly. Wouldn't recommend.

Clean, friendly service, cool setting and the BEST HAMBURGERS and Fries!!! Saying goodbye to In and Out!

Food was great tasting burger made to order an nice crispy frys. Nice friendly service

Great food but at a high price unfortunately. I would come back but very early. Kind of hard to pay 30$ for a hamburger and fries.

Went to this joint to check out the giant burgers, to my surprise it wasn't so giant but that's ok. The wait was longer than I expected just to order but I can see that they only had 3 people working that day. Burgers itself were mediocre, nothing special about them. Kind of weird how the kids burger in the menu says "ketchup only" and you have to add condiments to them separately? I ordered a hamburger for myself and cheeseburgers for the kids. The soda and shakes never came so I had to ask the server about it after my food was delivered. Don't except fast service if you're really hungry! read more

Great burger and great service. I liked the outdoor dining area. Great location and great parking

This place in Anderson has gone down hill. Burgers aren't as good. Milkshakes are horrible. Bought two large shakes and it was 18.00. They were definitely not made from real ice cream I give it a 1* rating read more

Amazing burgers. The ambiance leaves something to be desired but it's a burger joint not a 5star restaurant! Lol it's a great little place for a great price. And they cook it right in front of you. read more

What a great find! We have been looking for something other than fast food when we are driving through on I-5 and are thrilled to have discovered Bartel's. First off, the burgers and fries are excellent. No, they aren't giant, however they are plenty big. I have no complaints about the size, especially given the reasonable price and the great flavor. And contrary to what others may have said, you CAN order the burger cooked anyway you want, you simply have to ask. Second, the staff at this location was great. We called in our order and even though they were very busy, they never acted rushed or like we were bothering them. And we even had to call in a second time to add a shake. We arrive just a few minutes later and they were always most of the way done with our order, so even when they are busy, they are still efficient in getting food out. (My recommendation is the burger, with cheese, bacon, chile and pickles, and then add the fry sauce to it. Delicious!!!, and under $10.) Overall, we are thrilled at finding Bartel's and look forward to many more visits. read more

The service is amazing I love the staff and they make a dam good burger better than any fast food place they are usually busy but worth the wait ! read more

There ain't nothing like a bartels giant burger and shake anywhere ( I think it's in their formula ) family and locally owned Anderson-just wouldn't be the same with out a Bartels Giant Burger ! read more

Flavorful hamburgers! And the fries were cooked to perfection. This establishment is a hidden gem. It's sooo goooooddd! You must try.

Local burgers are the only way to go. I had some crispy fries made to order & they even have a secret sauce!

Best burgers in nor cal. Hands down. Rate or die! Dont sleep on the fry sauce! Trust!!!

Burgers are ok nothing special, fry's are really good, prices are fair, sometimes wait times can get a little crazy. Side note there was an older man who took my order and brought my food out to my car just the other day I dono if he was the owner or what but he was the nicest more professional person I've seen in a long time just a super positive person if he's not the owner you guys need to give him a raise. read more

I love supporting small businesses, especially this one since I know some of the family but this location in anderson seems to be going down hill. They leave you on hold for 15 minutes without saying anything. Their should be a better system for call in orders like any other place especially if you don't want to wait to get your food. Food can be a hit and miss but for the most part it's good. Only reason for one star is because of the terrible service almost everytime and trying to call in Togo. I'd recommend just showing up and ordering or just go to the other locations. I definitely won't be back until they fix there system or get better workers. read more

Definitely a staple in Shasta County! When you want a good old fashion burger, there's no better place to go! My family has been coming here for years. The people are always friendly. The atmosphere is old town feeling. Love this place there's no better burger out there. read more

Bartels advertises good old fashioned hamburgers and that it delivers in spades. I've only experienced the Anderson location but I absolutely love love love the food. The burgers are amazing and reasonably priced as are the French fries (very crispy and delicious). I really like the old fashioned ambience this location offers, and the staff is always very friendly. If you're passing by one of the locations I recommend heading on in and trying their delicious giant burger. read more

Bartels Giant Burger - To go! - Burgers Near Me - Anderson, California

Big and tasty burgers, Side of ole time fries washed down with a soda pop. Very filling, I will be back to try their signature shakes.

While visiting my sis here in Anderson, I had the pleasure of eating their giant burger. It was cooked to my liking on a flattop grill. The lady that works the grill, knows how to cook!! I asked for American cheese and it was melted goodness. With iceberg lettuce and sliced tomatoes and red onions if you like. The fries were golden brown on the outside and soft in the middle.. salted to perfection, ask for the fry sauce. Tasty with a Thousand Island color sans the pickles, mighty tasty. The restaurant is small with indoor and outdoor seating. Our order was ready when we arrived hot and yummy. It was one of the best tasting burger I have eaten in a while. I will eat here again. read more

Always has amazing service the burger are great it reminds me of and old drive ing burger place they never disapoint

Excellent, friendly service paired with food far better than you could get at the other chains along I-5. Fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and well salted. Burger ate slightly dry, though the crisp fresh red onions make a big difference. The milkshake was fantastically dense and creamy in all the ways you could want. And they serve fry sauce!!! All in all, an excellent stop off the highway. read more
