The cocktail the bartender made me was amazing! Ask her for her pineapple upside down cocktail ( women with the dreads ) It was soooo good. After a tour at the Caverns this was a good spot to stop and unwind with a huge pretzel and cocktails. They also had blocks for my four year old to build with and a kids menu. Definitely flip in for snacks and drinks even if your little one is in tow. read more

The Basshole Burger is probably the best burger I've ever had. I would eat this burger every week if I could. The hype is real. This burger is delicious, juicy, and massive. I highly recommend it. Everything else we tried was tasty as well. And the ladies working there were friendly and helpful. Come here if you want a yummy, satisfying meal. read more

Fun local atmosphere. Creative menu. Love the sitting nooks. Jackie, our server was amazing. Such a cute personality and very attentive. We both had the Basshole Burger & hook fries. They were delicious! Looks like they have local performers play. There's a pool table. Clean bathrooms and ample parking right off the 5 Fwy. Don't let the exterior dissuade you.. This place is amazing! read more

Decided to stop in on our way back home after it was recommended. Waitress was friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. Old bar vibe with lots of space. I get really tired when I eat carbs, so I was searching for something lighter. The menu was very small, one sided sheet of paper without many fired/heavy options. I opted for a salad and some small tacos to share. My fiancé went for the Basshole burger. Unfortunately we were not impressed by the food at all. It came out quickly, but had weird flavors and textures. I don't know if it was the seasoning on the tri-tip, but I disliked it more and more with each bite. The tacos were okay but lacked desirable flavors and textures. The burger was tasty, but the meat had a very weird, soft texture and the bun was soooo greasy. Fries were bomb and deliciously crunchy! Overall, we won't be back for the food but perhaps a beer or drink sometime as I could see it being a fun atmosphere with friends on a weekend night or happy hour. read more

Taco Tuesday is amazing and Danielle is a fantastic waitress. We had the ground beef tacos and the nachos everything was excellent and very fresh. The chef took great pride in the homemade chips which were excellent! Must try! read more

The inn we were staying at had this place as their first recommendation.. and I'm glad we listened. We actually met the owner Scott who had stopped by and he came over, asked us where we were from.. and found out he bought the nearby resort at the direction of his wife and this place when it fell on hard times.. I'm glad he kept it open. Shay, our waitress was amazing. We were hoping to buy merch but they sell out quickly for obvious reasons. She went in the back and gave my girlfriend and I Lakehead FD t-shirts for free! As a former cop I appreciated it. As a soldier, I really appreciated the "missing soldier" table they have set, a staple for us at every military ball. The burgers are amazing.. locally sourced, the bartender/cook showed me the mushrooms he puts in the burgers. They take pride in their farm to table, locally sourced food and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. We'll absolutely be back and we plan to stay at Tsadi Resort in the Spring read more

My son is allergic to onions but loves burgers and must say our group loves your burgers. I was in hopes you can make a burger that doesn't have the onions mixed in. Also bring back the chicken cluckin......it is one of the best sandwiches I have had...I tried the new one you have on the menu and a fan, so I will not be ordering that. I don't eat red meet so chicken is my go to. We will continue to support this great business read more

The food and the atmosphere are amazing. It's like you're in a different world. We drove from Portland on our way to LA, and we scanned the map for good food and good hours of operation. Luckily, Basshole popped up! Amazing service, friendly staff and the food worth the drive. The tri-tip sandwich and the basshole burger hit the spot after a long day. A nice bar and plenty of space. Enjoy!!! read more

I've stopped at Basshole twice on the way between Redding and Ashland. The food is good; the beer selection is very good. Service is friendly and fast; the music is good and not too loud. And there's a reasonably fast EV charger in the parking lot - perfect for filling the car while you fill your tummy. read more

Was in a low local Airbnb and woke up starving. Needing yummy eats and cocktails and what not. So happy we landed here. Rachelle was our server, and so hospitable, kind and attentive. Our appetizers, cocktails, soda and meals were super! Their soda fountain is nice and carbonated too. Not like some bar guns that taste flat. If I ever find myself in the area again, I would go back. Sorry we missed Prime Rib night! read more

Surprised by how good the food is! Staff is friendly, quick, and the option to sit inside or outside is nice.

I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid and it was purchased by a local family here in lakehead in the recent years. Since then the food, service, and atmosphere has been a top notch staple in the small town of lakehead! Highly recommended read more

Food was good. The Basshole burger and hook fries were awesome! The service was great. BillyJoe was a one woman wonder! I would eat there again. I would skip the onion rings though! Most importantly the water was bomb! read more

Great staff. Great tunes from all decades. Numb numb hazy IPA was amazing from in Redding. And the swipe right blackberry ciderfrom Shasta waswonderful. The bass hole burger is a must and the tater tots accompanying it were the crispiest we've ever had. Might look like a little dive, but open the doors and you will be surprised ---definitely go! read more

Me and the hubby were hungry on the way to redding! Stopped in lakehead California about 30mil before redding coming from Oregon! Population i think 406 people! Ambiance was dive bar, but I felt like there is a lot of love in this place, family pics, a honor vets table and firefighter tees on the wall!!! Tammy gave the best service, and April made the best food! Hubby had the basshole burger, homeade bacon jam, yummyyy!! And I had the tacos so good!! Thank you so much we will be stopping there when we head south!! read more

I had the opportunity to eat here with my boyfriend while on vacation this past week. My bf and I are huge foodies, and always down to try a new spot, and as this was our first vacation together, it was a little more special. It wasn't busy when we went in, I'm assuming because of the time frame and the day we chose, but after being served and talking to our server, who I wish got her name she was amazing, I absolutely could imagine that place being packed wall to wall! The food was fantastic, and after talking with our server, it was no brainer! My bf got the basshole burger, which even just a whiff of it and it smelled amazing. I got the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and as an avid pizza lover who's tried over 150 pizzas in her lifetime, this is easily one of the best pizzas I've had! The jalapeño ranch drizzle was the cherry on top, and now I'm going to be craving it every time I get pizza. She told us everything was made in house, from the sauces to the onion rings, and the pizza dough! She said her favorite was the fish and chips that they have on Fridays delivered fresh, and sell out of pretty fast. This little spot is a place I've already recommended to family and friends who go up into the area, and my bf and I have already decided to make a necessary stop on our now annual trip up to the area! Already planning our next visit, and we're going to make sure to be up on a Friday to try those fish and chips!! read more

Stopped in for an early dinner after a day of adventuring in the Shasta Lake area. Definitely a dive bar, but in a good way. Clean and varied seating areas, from barstools, couches and tables make it a good choice for groups of all sizes. Service is friendly and helpful. Good selection of craft beers and cocktails for those that enjoy a hard drink. We ordered the Basshole Burger and Tri-tip sandwich. Both were delicious as advertised. The bourbon bacon onion jam on the Basshole is fantastic and the special fries it's served with were piping hot. The tri-tip sandwich was one of the best we had ever had, smokey, juicy and tender meat. The fact it wasn't served with a barbecue sauce speaks to how well the pit master knows how to barbecue a tri tip. No sauce needed when it's done right and this one was done right. A place worth stopping when in Lakehead. read more

Visited friends who lived nearby. They drove us around and this place seemed to be the only place open today, July 3rd. Very convenient for the 4 RV parks and other visitors to the lake. They even have an electric vehicle charging station, for those who need one. They have tons of parking for everyone else. It's a cozy spot. You walk right into the bar. You seat yourself. They had several high sitting tables and several regular height tables. It's a bit dark in there and can be a bit warm in certain spots. They have ceiling fans and the AC blows moreso in the back of the dining area. I saw a wood burning stove and some chairs near it. I bet that's a nice spot during the cooler months. We were greeted by our waitress who brought menus and took our drink orders. Simple menu, which is awesome, and everything sounded really good. I ended up choosing the Pork Islander and it was just as good as it sounded. The pork was soft with some crunchy parts, which you want. The salsa was refreshing and gave it a sweetness. The sauce just topped it all off. I'll have to order a side of the sauce next time to dip my tots in. It came with a bunch of yummie tater tots. And I honestly didn't realize I was missing the slaw. But it was honestly fine. There were tons of tater tots. They also had music playing. I was told that they also have live music. Worth checking out next time. read more

Omg! They just keep getting worse. The waitress was not very attentive and seemed ticked off that we only ordered an appetizer.

Another excellent meal!! We love this place so much and brought the entire family this time! They were happy to accommodate a party of 12 on a Friday night, which was so great! Thank you so much for your hospitality and amazing foods. Per my in laws "this was the best burger I've had in decades!" Thanks for a great night! And our waitress, Shawna, was excellent!! read more

Food was better than average pub grub. Good sauces and finishing touches. Our server was running ass off. Excellent attention to details and offering additional starters that actually matched the mains. We tried to tip Jacqueline but she said it was community effort and they split tips. Too bad, she single handedly made our groups experience top notch. Thank you lil Dragonfly. read more

I ordered a Super Shroomy Burger.The burger was surprisingly big and it came with a lot of fries. My family ordered 2 fish and chips, steak salad and a basshole burger. I like my Super Shroomy Burger because it was very tasty and had a big taste of mushrooms. I finished half of it because it was too big. I tried the fish and chips and the fish was well cooked and when I dipped it in the sauce, it tasted great! The service was very nice because when my mom asked to get a new drink because she didn't like the old one, it came very quickly. The interior of the restaurant was well decorated. Inside, there was a pool table for 18 and above and multiple tv's to watch sport games. I recommend this place if you're in town. read more

It was a busy evening so service was a little slow at first but super friendly. The food was really tasty. We got the best whole burger (sweet like a sloppy Joe and really good), a smash burger (tasty classic burger) with super crispy fries, Cobb salad, hot wings, and tri-tip Mac and cheese. All were great. 200% would go again... probably later this week! read more

Been here for 1hour and 20 mins. Haven't received our food . We are a table of 18 but we did make res. for 18 at 7pm. If you can't handle that many which we asked and was told no problem. Food is coming out one meal at a time. Res. Where made on Tuesday it is now Saturday so they knew ahead of time. And it's not busy..,it's 8;16 two of our 18 have their meal...come in at 6:50 meals coming out two at a time last meals came out at 8:43pm. Also saw other people came in after us that got there meals before us. We always try to support local but almost 2hours to complete our meals not go.

I've been reading all the positive reviews from customers in the Redding area and decided to make the 50 mile drive. My wife and I had an amazing lunch both ordering the double smash burger and a couple drinks. Great atmosphere and food. Friendly staff, what else could we ask for? We recommend you visit asap. read more

Their burgers! Wow. You could strip off everything and just eat the burger and be excited. But when you add the sauce, fresh lettuce, and homemade pickled items, you get an out of this world flavor explosion. Best dang burger I've had in a very very very long time. We had the super shroomy burger but I hear their Basshole burger is even better. If I was in the area long enough for another meal you can bet I'd be back to try it. Can't go wrong here if you're Hungary for a burger. read more

It's a little divey and the patio leaves a bit to be desired but the corn and jalapeño bites were good.

Great little place to stop if you're near Shasta Lake. We were starting at the Tsasdi Resort and it was nice to get some food after a long day on the road. Just be aware it is not a menu full of extremely healthy option! read more
