Quick dinner On a mini July 4th weekend getaway, Yelped a nearby place for dinner and led us to this burger joint. Took us back to 50's / 60's style with the U.S. flag proudly displayed outside. Nothing more American than having Old Glory waving. Inside is donned with plenty of roadster car photos. The counter has about ten bar stools. There are four other tables that seats up to 4 each. Outside is shaded and has plenty of seating. Actually, it looks like it was formerly a gas station and converted into a burger place. Ordered the Giant Burger. Had everything in it except for onions. It was a huge burger, very tasty and filling. The fryer was temporarily out-of-order so we didn't get a chance to taste their fries. Tip: check-in Yelp and receive a small cup of soda. There were two ladies working behind the counter and both were friendly. This must be a popular place for locals and road trip passersby as the place got full by the time we were done and left... good place to stop on Highway 5. Easy to find from the freeway. Restrooms are outside. Review #0307 read more

Bartels Giant Burger - double hamburger and grilled chicken - Burgers Near Me - Corning, California

Very rude customer service. Shakes were made way before food and were like drinking flavored milk. Onion rings were litterly soggy like they were dipped in oil and warmed up. They were still frozen in the middle. Bartels use to be amazing. I don't know what happened but I won't be back read more

A little disappointed.. I have heard good things about this place so I was looking forward to a nice plump juicy burger. That definitely was not the case. Instead, I got a limp cooked to death burger patty. I was also surprised the thin burger patty. My onion were " left over " pieces.. tiny round ones. I had to "doctor " my burger when I got home. I am not sure I would go back & I won't recommend it to people. One star because it's locally owned but to be honest I have had better burgers at fast food places. read more

It had been an insane drive and I hadn't had a meal in over 24 hours. Burgers sounded good and there was no way I was visiting a big chain. The fries and malt were passable but the burger was pretty darn good. Much better than I expected. And they had more self serve condiments than I expected too. Need some mustard, or some hot sauce or a few jalapenos on that burger? Dig in! Properly fortified and pleasantly stuffed I pulled back onto the road for the 8 hour drive back home. read more

Burger were okay but what I'm paying for I expected better unfortunately that wasn't the case my fries weren't good and my drink was mostly ice pretty pricey as well I hate to write reviews like this but it needs to be reviewed under their management read more

Bartels Giant Burger - I said light ice and look at my drink lol and my fries were pretty burnt - Burgers Near Me - Corning, California

Nothin' fancy folks just really good grub fixed here. Made to order burgers served hot along with fry's or onion rings. Bring your appetite ain't no puny finger food here. Felt welcome as I walked in and satisfied as I walked out. The service was fast and friendly. Even got asked by the cook dude how my lunch was. Said it was "beautiful" cuz' it was. It's a locals place only because it's good and in there town. Right off the interstate it's a no brainer. Last words...soft serve shakes. read more

Stopped here on the way north. Thought the patio would be nice to sit at with my dog while I are. Ended up waiting 45 minutes in 90 degree heat, and eventually had to go in and ask what happened to my burger. They had apparently lost the ticket and forgot about it. This is despite the fact that it was not particularly busy, and I was sitting outside where they could clearly see me waiting. Someone came out and asked if I wanted more soda but never asked if I had even gotten my food. Once I told them, the food came out quite quickly. The burger was about on par with a burger king burger, yet I spent $18 dollars after tax and tip. This was a terrible waste time, money and patience. read more

My husband had been wanting a giant burger and got excited about them advertising a giant burger. It was pretty disappointing. The giant burger was the same size as my regular burger. I didn't expect the business to have frozen patties either. Also, don't expect reasonable prices for the food you're getting. $17 for a mediocre regular burger, fries and a drink is too high. They forgot one of my drinks and didn't prepare the food to go. I had told them it was all to go since we were traveling. We ended up eating there since it'd be a hassle to get it all to go. Definitely won't be stopping here again. read more

Great burger place near the Tesla supercharger! Very friendly owner and staff! Hubby and I shared a Giant burger which is a 1/3 lb burger with big bun. The buns are nicely toasted and the veggie/tomato are very fresh. You can definitely taste the awesome made-to-order freshness to the juicy burger! I also like their fries which is the skinny type. Will definitely stop by next time I am heading up on I-5! read more

It was pretty disappointing. The giant burger was the same size as my regular burger. I didn't expect the business to have frozen patties either. Also, don't expect reasonable prices for the food you're getting. $17 for a mediocre regular burger, fries and a drink is too high. 2 burgers with tip $43.00 ...come on. That is just waaaay too much. I will not go there again obviously. Since when did Bartel's become so gourmet they can charge $17.43 for a regular cheeseburger, fries and Diet Coke? It's good, but not THAT good! I will drive to In N Out instead. No wonder the other locations closed if they are charging high prices... read more

Decided to stop here after a long day at the lake. Food was ok, but - 1- an outdoor awning fell on my shoulder. I go inside to tell the manager, and he lets me know that "the side was blocked off". I told him there was no sign stating to not sit there. He storms off with paper and tape to make a sign, all while giving no apology for that happening, let alone asking if I'm ok. 2- manager yelled at employee to wear a mask all while he did NOT have a mask on. Major COVID procedures were enforced during my trip (I.e. all employees were NOT wearing masks, gloves were not enforced, AND if customers did not want to wear a mask, the employees offered to take their order outside. THIS IS NOT OK). All in all, 0/10 would come back here again. read more

This is a must have. Great friendly staff. Amazing food! The best onion rings I've ever had. It's a cute, classic fill burger joint. Thanks you guys have a good day. read more

I was excited to try this place but when I walked in the door my whole vibe got ruined. The lady at the front was being nice to everyone else but as soon as she saw me, a colored man, she changed her whole mood. She was rude and went above and beyond for everyone else but me. When I finally got my order and was about to leave I realized she didn't give me my drink that I paid about 5 bucks for. I didn't even bother going back inside because I was too uncomfortable. However, the burger was good so props to the chef. read more

Burgers may look common but they are beyond. Delicious to the last bite. Almost skipped out on a side of fries but glad I didn't. They are delicious! On the "pricey" side but yet again this is family owned and not a chain. Regular burger was $5.85 and I shared large fries for $3.95. This is my second stop on my way up north and can't wait to visit again. Note during the COVID pandemic I was able to order online (http://bartelsgiantburger.com) but still had to go in to pick up. 5 stars for good service and delicious burgers. read more

Excellent burgers, friendly staff, ample parking for handicap, good location rt near downtown & near main fwy

Giant burger's? Compared to a McDonald's kids meal burger maybe! The burgers are tiny and and the combo came with the smallest French fry I have ever seen in my life. The bun and fries were stail and the dinky beef patty was overcooked. The only reason why this gets 1 star is because the coke was flawless. This place is trash and way overpriced for the poor quality and small helpings. Don't bother going here, there's a McDonald's down the road! read more

Amazing service And food was fresh! My favorite part was the thick cut cheese ! ‍ p.s they have seasoned fries or tater totts Burger was cooked to perfection (medium rare as asked) 5/5 would come again! (Would have posted a picture if i didn't scarf it down in 10 seconds ) lol read more

Bought a "GIANT BURGER" and they are tiny compared to what they use to be. Paid 35$ for 2 meals with a water. They're price is insane for the quantity of they charge. read more

These folks are a gem. Friendly fast and good. Made a pair of salads for me (not a menu item). Obviously well liked local business - great! read more

Burgers were really good and so were the fries. The vanilla shake was solid but my tater tots were overfried and too hard. An earlier batch was perfect so pretty sure it was just a minor mistake at the time, no worries read more

Wish I would have taken a picture but I was too hungry. Friendly staff who care about the food. Burgers the way you want, cooked to order, milkshake was delicious. Highly recommend read more

The next time you are traveling I-5 and are tempted to blow past Corning, don't! Bartel's should be featured on that triple DDD show on the Food Network. It doesn't have much curb appeal, but the burgers and Polish dog are awesome. You can't beat the CRISPY fries... and what the heck?? They have tater tots! Don't forget to order a pup patty for your doggos. Yum! read more

The burger was acceptable. I went with my wife. She got a small and I ordered the large burger . We both got fries and a drink. The fries were also good. The reason for the 3 stars is the price . 2 burgers with tip $43.00 ...come on. That is just waaaay too much. I will not go there again obviously. Also I found there were way too many rules and regulations signs all over the place . Don't do that and don't do that put that there and not there. Just a bit too much. For having that many OCD signs everywhere the place was not OCD clean. read more

Go and get you a good burger and support small business!! Awesome bacon cheeseburger! Thank you Bartels

Really good food. $14/person. Worth the stop. GET A SHAKE! The coconut shake was awesome. Fries were super crisp read more

Food is greasy spoon at an old gas station off the 5 freeway. Not giant! 1/4# regular & giant 1/3#. Just frozen fries & onion rings. Fry sauce, "1000: island". Nice people. Real brewed ice tea. Not worth $13 for burger onion rings and a drink. read more

The food is ok but there is a rude woman that works there. I won't be back. She needs to adjust her attitude.

The Service was great. The food was great. The French fries were cooked to perfection. A must try!!!

Quant place to sit outside for a burger. The burgers were decent sized and taste of onion rings were ok not as good as they were reviewed. They ran out of ice cream to make the shakes and the refunded the wrong amount. I really didn't like the flavor of their shakes. probably wouldn't go back. read more

Not as good as I remember. The wait is okay and the hamburger wasn't bad. The ambiance feels dirty/old.

Yum yum yum! I got the polish dog and a double burger, both with the works. Dog was good but the burger was great...and it was cooked right to the amount of pink I asked for. Plus, they chopped the veggies fresh in front of me too. YUM! read more

Made to order delicious burgers! Worth every calorie if you are counting. I tried the regular with everything plus pepperjack. Tatertots, regular fries, and onion rings are on the menu. Located in an old gas station on west side of I5. read more
