We stopped here on our way home and had a wonderful late lunch. The server was very nice and attentive! We ordered hot chocolate and he offered to put ice cubes in my daughter's cup so it would cool down faster. He checked up on us within a reasonable amount of time as well. Our food was delicious and fairly priced. The restroom was clean and overall the decor was just very cute! Would definitely stop by here again. read more

From the down home atmosphere, excellent burger & crispy fries, delivered to the table quite quickly with a happy friendly server, Burger Barn is a gem!. I found the Barn from yelp when looking for a place to get a great burger without going to a chain as we traveled through to Kyburz. So glad to have found it. I'll be back anytime I'm rolling through Pollock Pines! Besides...I have to try the stuffed burger, and ALL the other choices. read more

Foods here are ok. I am not a fan for burgers and constantly order something else. I am not sure if I even place the right ranking. I have been here before and never thought there was a credit card surcharge. In addition, the waitress brought a box to us, knowing it was a torn box and she still gave that to us. The moment we figured out that's additional credit card fee, the to-go-box lid popped open with the side torn. She took the bill, watching me having a box issue. She did not even ask whether if I wanted another box. I was not that happy when we walked out. Not sure if I want to some back again. read more

The place is my best secret that I don't share with random people. Love the grandma's flavors mixed with love and care. Get a beer and burger and then forget your worries. read more

Very cute little mountain place! Some of the best beef I've ever had. When you actually stop to taste it, you can tell it wasn't frozen and it was hand made. Service was very good! Great place, highly recommend :) read more

Best Burger I've had probably ever and they had such fast and friendly service! Will definately be returning.

I have never left a review for any business but I have to for this one. The food was amazing. The fries are the best fries I have ever tried and I mean it. The mozzarella sticks are the best I have ever had to. They even have a patty just for my dog. I work for a restaurant and I wish I knew the supplier for the fries and the mozzarella sticks. They are a must try. Will definitely be coming back. read more

This place is a local legend. It's small but perfectly proportioned for serving great tasting and hearty burgers. They also have a good selection of unique burger flavors to keep the menu interesting. Service is fast and friendly. Love grabbing a burger here when I'm in pollock visiting family. read more

Stopped by after a light hike. Great service! We sat in a cozy booth indoors. There's also outdoor seating. The food was hot and fresh. We ordered the Western Bacon burger with chili cheese fries and it did not disappoint. Sorry! Totally dug into the burger and didn't get a picture. The burger was stacked! Perfectly crisp bacon, meat cooked to perfection, the bun was soft and slightly crispy, crispy onions, and the sweet and tangy bbq sauce= heaven. Would definitely come back! read more

Okay. I was in today. Probably my fifth time. Very small philly cheesesteak for $13.50. Wife had a salad. Add in a tea and a PBR. No fries. Total meal came to 33.75 plus tax of $2.45. Added a tip to that. read more

Best burgers in mountains been stopping by there for years. The two ladies are always working hard and are very friendly.

As an outta towner, I was a little hesitant to try this little burger spot out because of the recent reviews. We had a toddler with us and we were exhausted from our morning trip from three Apple Hill farms. But I was adamant about having a western burger, packed everyone up, and headed to this small town. The parking is very limited. Street parking with about 6 spots in the front of the restaurant with additional street parking across the busy street. Around lunch time can be an issue since a lot of people come and go to pick up but we were fortunate to get a spot in the front. With Covid-19, in door seating was not an option but the out door seating was great especially since the weather was perfect (and of course our messy/loud toddler). There was about four large picnic tables and a few smaller tables to push together, if needed. We ordered from a small window in the front and let me tell you, when the waitress opened that window and the smell came out - I knew we were in the right spot! It smelled heavenly. She was nice, polite, and ordering kind of took a while (but hey, it's a small local spot so I'm not expecting fast food franchised ordering). We got our drinks, found a spot, and relaxed. (Note to all: I'm pretty sure the establishment knows that they take some time in preparing food. There's a large sign acknowledging it.) The waitress that brought our food out was a bit rude and dismissive but I could tell that it wasn't within her intentions and we shrugged it off. The Western Burger was awesome! Perfect seasoning and amount of bbq sauce that I devoured every bit of it. I ordered the beer battered fries and preferred it over the regular fries while the chicken nuggets were a slam dunk with my kid. My husbands burger was good but he was a bit salty that we ended up going to this place rather than his option so I'd like to omit his opinion. Overall, we were pleased with the service and the food was great - especially after a crazy day. read more

We decided to stop at this place after driving a ways out of Lake Tahoe since we were in the mood for a burger. Nicole, I thought she said her name was, greeted us quickly, and got our waters and order. I'm not normally a milkshake lover, but we decided to try their black cherry milkshake, as it sounded nice for such a hot day. When we got the shake we were thrown off that it had no color as expected something with real cherries or at least a red color. It did not taste good to either of us and tasted artificial and bland. For food I ordered the Bacon Blue Burger and my guy chose the Philly Cheese Steak, corn dog and fried mushrooms to share. When we sat down were only a few other tables so we were surprised it took as long as it did for the food to come out. My burger was missing the pickles and tomatos, which our server apologized and brought right away. We both thought the Philly had a freezer burnt taste to it, and after a bite of the corn dog my guy ended up sending it back as the menu indicates the hotdogs are beef, and said his tasted like a turkey/bologna. I did like my burger and that along with the fried mushrooms were pretty good in both our opinions. Our server was very attentive and provided great service even though she was running around as they did start to get busy and apologized for the wait, etc. This place wasn't quite as good as we hoped, but if we did ever return would probably stick with burgers and fried mushrooms. read more

We love this place wish is was open alittle later but we understand amazing food good service and cooks you getting what you pay for and more always go that extra mile we love . read more

Solid burger joint! We drove up to Pollock Pubes to hang out at Jenkinson Lake for a bit with the kiddos. Once we were done with the beach fun and sun we were hungry. Of course I pulled up handy dandy Yelp and burger barn had good reviews and it's so close to the freeway so we decided to give it a try. My hubby ordered a double jalapeño burger, my son ordered a jr. bacon cheeseburger, large garlic fries to share and I ordered the 4pcs fish and chips with a house salad to share with my baby girl. Any who, my hubby said the burger was juicy and delicious, he would give it an 8 out of 10. My son said he enjoyed his burger as well with a two thumbs up! The Fried fish was tasty as well, crunchy and flavorful, no complaints here. My daughter and I ate it all along with the house salad which consist of lettuce, tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, shredded cheeses and dressing, nothing out of the ordinary. If we're ever in that neck of the woods again we will definitely stop by and enjoy their yummy burgers and fried fish! read more

A funky little place off the side of the road. While they have a good selection on the menu, the food is pretty average, and the service is slow and inattentive. I got a burger which was just OK. We had shakes that seemed more like lightly-flavored soft serve ice cream. read more

Tasty burger, I had the cheeseburger and it was excellent. The service was friendly and good too. I'd give it five stars if not for the sad small minded attitude of the owners towards their staff - blaming "government handouts" for people not wanting to work for them. They could choose to charge a little more per burger and pay their workers a living wage. read more

After visiting the apple farms, even though we missed apple picking season by about a month, we found this little place to grab a bite to eat before heading back. It was a bit chilly outside, but not too bad. I ordered a burger with pastrami and it was okay, nothing special. Service was a bit chilly though. There were not many choices around, so this place filled our tummies. read more

Although Burger Barn is known for their burgers, I must give a shoutout to their coffee and chili bean soup. These two items, after a cold and snowy day in the mountains, was the ultimate comforter. One thing I wish was better is their kitchen's ventilation - during our stay, the oil from the potato fryers clouded the entire room. The oily odor saturated our clothes and we left smelling like a grease pan. read more

We got stuffed burgers with chili cheese fry's... hands down best burger I've ever had!!! Great service, great food, and a clean cute place! I will for sure be back here next time I'm passing through! read more

Hands down the best burger joint in the area. I highly recommend stopping by anytime you are in the area. I usually get the double cheese burger with nothing else. The meat is juicy and crispy at the same time - greasy, cheesy just right. The most recent time I visited I got the philly cheese steak - I asked the waiter for her honest opinion and she said its one of the most popular item on the menu. The sandwich could use more meat and but overall the cheese, bun and veggies works together super yummy. I also had a side of the onion rings and it was freshly fried crunchy and sweet. For drinks I shared an Oreo milk shake with my husband and all I need to say is GET IT! read more

Wow! Really delicious burger and the veggie option is sooooo good I added avocado, pickles, and mushrooms!! My partner got the western cheeseburger and rlly liked it. read more

Great fries (beer battered french fries, they also have sweet potato, both were crispy and delicious), good shakes, and OK burgers. 3 burgers and 2 large fry and 2 shakes put us back $47. The price reflects an "upscale" burger, but honestly all our burgers were just ok (got a pastrami burger, mushroom burger, and regular cheeseburger). There was a lot more bun to meat and the meat wasn't as flavored as I would hope, I tasted bun and toppings more than meat. Location: this restaurant is in the small town of Pollock Pines, relatively close off the highway, and therefore could make an easy pit stop if you're in the area. There are not many other food options in the direct vicinity, however in a pinch there is a Safeway next door and you could get something from the deli worst case. COVID Times Considerations: -the waitress who I paid at the cash register had her mask "half on", and I noticed a cook in the back was NOT wearing a mask -they accept phone orders -they do have outdoor seating, but no heaters and it can be very cold (like there is some snow on the ground currently) Parking: -just a few spaced directly in front, otherwise on the street, there is no lot read more

Excellent! My husband had the western bacon cheeseburger and onion rings...I'm a light eater, so went for the kids jr. cheese burger and fries( adult size to me) !

Stopped in for a quick lunch, quick and attentive service had the bacon and blue burger, which was good and their prices are even better

Tasty local hamburger joint. Fantastic burgers and yes you might have to wait more than 5 minutes for a homemade burger!

On our way home from South Lake and the kids were hungry. This popped up as an option within a mile of us and had great reviews so we tried it. I usually get pictures but dove right in (sorry). But their turkey melt was so good - and why "so" good? Let's just say they grill cheese on the outside of the bread. It was piled with turkey and had bacon and avocado too. Husband had the Rueben and said he'd come back for it. Even the jr burgers were cooked perfectly and good sized. We'll be back when in the area! read more

A friend dragged me to this place as this was his go-to whenever he goes home from the Rubicon. It now will be my must-stop eatery from now on. Outdoor seating means my dog is welcome. The burger is not huge but the flavor is exactly what I want in a good burger. The fries are super crispy " like they're supposed to be!" And the O-rings are krisp and light. Good job Burger Barn! 'Til we meet again. read more

This was my first time here so my review is based on this single experience: Firstly I would recommend you place in your orders via phone ahead of time to avoid waiting in line. I wasn't in a rush so decided to wait in line and to be honest wasn't so bad. We tried about 2 different burgers, each with a unique flavor. These burgers aren't and don't taste like fast food, they are delicious, juicy, and gone before you realize you've eaten the entire thing. I really like the fact you can choose the number of patties you want 1...2...3...heck make it 4!!!! The waffle fries were crunchy and plenty enough to complement the juicy burger. Unfortunately a shake didn't sound appetizing but we will return and update my review! Ps. Enjoy their Norwegian Rock Garden. read more

Delicious food and a hard working staff. A Pollock staple for good food. I eat here at least once a week for a reason.

Holy Cow! Literally THE BEST Pastrami Double I've ever had, and the prices are unbeatable. It was so filling that I didn't even order or a shake for dessert... my buddy got the Western Bacon Cheeseburger with onions rings and he was also blown away. I wish they had a Burger Barn in Sacramento, but until they do, I will make up any excuse to go to Pollock Pines just so I can eat there again! read more
