First time here and I had high hopes for this restaurant. What looked appetizing to me was the #3 Steak Sandwich; however, this was a let down....what I actually got was a big piece of a hamburger patty!!!! This was definitely not a steak sandwich! I later found out that it was a steak sirloin patty (definitely not what I expected).... I also ordered a regular burger and guess what...it tasted the same!!! The menu was misleading!! Be aware that when they ask you for sauces that you clarify what you want. I asked for ketchup and ranch but was only given the ranch and their special sauce that tasted like McDs Big Mac sauce. They also charge .70 cents extra for these sauces. The sandwich was ok however it was TINY!!!!!! Def not worth the $12. On a positive note, their bathrooms were EXTREMELY clean!!!! I would try them again....maybe.... but I would definitely not order the "Steak" aka Sirloin patty again!!! See attached photo.... read more

Bud's Jolly Kone - Painting out back - Fast Food Near Me - Red Bluff, California

My husband and I took our son to try the food at Buds Jolly Kone on a Sunday night and all 3 of us left saying "This is our new favorite burger place!" We will be drooling while we wait for the next opportunity to come back for another BJK burger! The fries are the shoestring style, deliciously salty and perfectly fried. YUM! I also highly recommend trying the fried zucchini! read more

We always stop here on our way out to Lake Almanor. This time we stopped on our way west. Lots of options, chose to order a shake and some chicken strips. Didn't realize they were going to charge extra for the Ranch to dip them in!! Strips were OK, shake was great, I paid extra to add coffee and reese's. Would stop again, probably would get the kid's meal. read more

Loved the blue goo cone! Their monthly s'mores shake also hit the spot during our road trip through town. Great walk up with quick, friendly service. read more

I tried this place for the first time and it's very tasty! The fries and tots are the best I've ever tasted and stayed crunchy and hot till the very last bite. The burgers are simple yet classy with a slight explosion of flavors. They use red onions which elevates their special sauce's flavor. The servers were very nice and respectful and answered all my inquiries nicely and thoroughly. I look forward to adding this spot to my routes on future road trips. :) read more

Foods decent, they don't give you much food for what you pay. The employees are nice and they get the food out quick. Their fry sauce and fries are awesome! Just wish that the prices were a little lower read more

I always love stopping at Bud's Jolly Kone, there's nothing better than eating a real hamburger and fries or fried zucchini in your car. They never disappoint! Always super nice and efficient. If you ever have a chance to order their apple pie milkshake that seasonal DO IT! read more

We found this little joint on a day of traveling with my family. There was quite a line of customers which is always a good sign. My husband and children all got cheeseburgers while I got a chicken sandwich. We also got chilli cheese fries and a milkshake. The burgers were good. The chicken sandwich was fresh and crispy. Overall it was a good lunch. The inside is quite small with a few tables. There was plenty of outside seating in the shade. Definitely recommend. read more

Every time we are in town or passing through we have to stop by for Great food and Plenty of ice cream favorites a must!

2 stars because service was fine. I have avoided going here, since moving here in 2017 because I don't do the waiting on a sidewalk thing just to get some food. My finacee wanted their fries today though, and said they were "bomb", and then got them and looked bewildered. Then he tried them, and said they tasted like McDonald's, but worse..I couldn't eat them because they clearly used the shot animal byproduct beef tallow that McDonald's uses. So, never again, for either of us. They, apparently, used to have amazing steak fries, but my finance said they clearly did what fasy food places do, and gave up on quality. Plus the fries were frozen. I watched them cut open a plastic bag of them, and he said they used to be cut fresh daily here. read more

Dexter- burger was good, not great buns could have been a bit more toasted and the patties were not near hot enough. Like actually, what the hell! the fries were good, being if by good you mean soggy and depressing. The milk I ordered was good but personally I would have liked it a little bit colder. Finally, the service, boy where do Ibegin, the staff was overall friendly but ! did not receive a physical copy of my receipt. Subtle problems but I mean no one's perfect! 6/10 Quandale- great burger, onion rings were perfectly salted (apologies for my friend's interesting review). 10/10 Dingle - 10/10 burger, slaps harder than the lord killing the human race in the great flood. Lord Amen! Jaquavion - Best burger I have ever had, would recommend to my homies! 7/10 read more

Great burger and fries spot. We were in the area on spring break and wanted to grab lunch. Friendly service and really yummy hot fries. Hubby liked his double cheeseburger and I was pleasantly surprised with my chicken sandwich. I'd recommend to all passing by, especially with kiddos. There is something for everyone here. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Came in today with the whole family and it's awesome, per usual. We all got shakes and some deep fried mushrooms. There was a rush so service was slower than usual but they usually whip things up pretty fast. read more

Great little ice cream shop in red Bluff very nice atmosphere. Nice way to cool off in the heat. Service was prompt through the window as expected. read more

This place is almost always busy. A line outside where you order and then pick up your food. Local people seem to enjoy it. I've never eaten there except for their frozen swirling ice cream cones dipped in chocolate. Yummy. read more

We had the double cheeseburger meal with gems yesterday . Phone order went smoothly and the overall service was excellent. Bud's does need to update their menu prices on the app as they are old but the new prices are in line with lesser quality meals. read more

The food was great. Our burgers were very good and dries really hot. They were busy but still got our food pretty quick and the employees were very friendly. We used their covered outside eating area. Nice atmosphere and the area was very clean. read more

Staff are friendly. Ordered bacon cheese burger deluxe and zucchini sticks for just under $10 bucks. The zucchini sticks were good. The bacon cheese burger was bland lacking flavor and the burger patty was very small. They also charge for ranch to dip the sticks in which I thought at least one dipping sauce should be free but it wasn't and they didn't even tell me they charge when they offered the ranch with it. Will come back and try other foods and ice cream this summer. Offers inside seating but must order food outside at the window. read more

smallest large fries I have ever gotten and the girl argued with me "there was a lot more it the bag than that" when I said something about it and my coffee shakes had no coffee in it at all no exaggeration just straight vanilla. so if you like bad customer service, $5 mini fries and bland shakes this is the right place for you. read more

Nice place to pop in for some greasy food. I ordered a steak sandwich, the steak was in black angus patty form. I thought it was okay. You are standing outside or in your car while waiting. Plenty of parking but on a really busy street. The staff seemed nice. When I looked inside it seemed clean and small. The grill did need a good clean, lots of build and food pieces. This was my first experience. read more

Bud's Jolly Kone - Supposed to be a Double cheeseburger. - Fast Food Near Me - Red Bluff, California

Gave this place another shot after they did me wrong last time around and I won't be back! Don't know why this is so popular. Probably because there aren't many other places in the area. The ice cream here is of a lower quality compared to the others I've tried. It just tastes cheap. The vanilla tasted like paste and the chocolate coating (got it dipped) tasted like candle wax. The cone was also melting like crazy after a couple of seconds and it was winter outside! I also had to use the bathroom at the end of my visit (you have to input a code), stood at the window, yet I must've been a ghost. There were four people working inside, too! After 5-6 minutes waiting in front of the window, I gave up and left. Not worth the visit. Waste of money and terrible service. Will not be back! read more

Just went there and ordered a chili cheese dog and a regular hotdog. Got home and had a corn dog and a hot dog with a cold slice of cheese on it with onion. Wtf I knew this was gunna happen when the lady at the register was barely listening. read more

This is my go to place !! The gals are all very kind, knowledgeable on every item.Most of all happy to help ! Love the milkshakes, thick but not to thick, great taste. Burgers 10, Chicken sandwich 10 and a bonus, a dog patte.. Always order a few, happy dogs, and me , thank you for the great service.. read more

The food is reminiscent of old school hamburger stand and they have hella deal on Tuesday and Wednesday, the service is speedy and friendly

Great small business. Food is always great. The double BKJ is my favorite. Need something more healthy they have a great taco salad

LOVE this place. My favorite lunch spot in Red Bluff! The milkshakes, ice cream, and fried foods as always yummy. The waffle fries, corndog, fried mushrooms and captain crunch milkshake are my favorite! The staff is always kind and friendly as well. Always my go to spot anytime I'm in town. read more

Great burgers. Crispy fries. Friendly service. Fast preparation. Try the BJK double with cheese. Lots of different flavors that work well together. read more

The young girl working at the window with the black Ice Cube Tshirt was very rude. Why put her at the window at all if she is going to be the face of your business. There was a mistake in the order and she got all mad at us. It was a simple mistake and it wasn't a big deal to us, until she got rude. Not coming back to spend money with someone who has an attitude like this. read more

I had the worst experience at this place. One of the girls got my order wrong and slams the door on my face. I will never go back there again read more

Bud's Jolly Cone is a fun place to stop for a quick lunch at a classic soft serve frosty ice cream burger joint. You don't see these kinda places in the bigger cities like in Sac where I live. Staffed by perky high school girls and tended to by Mama bear, these girls give great friendly service and have all the high school boys hanging out and about! The innocence here has not been spoiled by urban life and all the junk that goes with it. Small town living! The food is good and prices really not very expensive at all. You can get it to go or there is a nice eating area out back with picnic tables and clean restrooms. To order you just walk up to the window on the sidewalk or go inside. This place seems pretty popular on hot days with plenty of cars driving up to jump out and order food. Stop on in here for some small town friendly interaction and some tasty food as well. The burgers may not be the best gourmet burgers and the meat is a little thin, but the super friendly service makes up for it! There is only one bathroom and it's in a building out back in the picnic area. read more

Great burgers, ice cream!! Friendly workers, always cheerful! Just a small town favorite place!

The Customer Service is great. It's a hamburger- hotdog -fries- ice cream shack. Besides the ice cream sundaes, they make shakes, cones and twists. Also frosties which are like Blizzards. I like the retro vibe. Plenty of parking. Super clean standalone unisex bathroom out back. read more

Oh my goodness!!!! Bud's is super delicious and the service is excellent!!! Claire and Courtney grilled us the double cheeseburger burger combo with crunchy fries and onion rings... so gooood, and the double chocolate brownie shake was perfect on this hot summer day.

Commuting from Bay Area to Redding, got hungry. Decided to try something new. Burger Stand! Walked up to the window to place order. One Veggie burger and fries, crispy. Stepped inside their quaint enclosed patio , it was too cool in there for me, took my order to the car. Veggie burger was decent for a fast food stand. It was served hot, fresh, tasty! Bun was not your typical bun, good. The fries could have been crispy, as ordered, but they were good anyway. Wished I ordered a shake or frost cone, next time! The place looked clean, staff helpful and friendly. I would recommend them! read more
