Great little spot to drop into before hitting the hills. Mom and pop style diner and pretty much the only thing you can munch once you get this deep in the area. So if you're passing and hungry stop! Burgers aren't too greasy, good flavor and a handful for sure. Tots are easy to share and also enjoyed because they weren't excessively greasy either. Not sure what base they use on ice cream or shakes but definitely sugar packed so if you're not that into sweets like me just order the smallest one and take what you can. Considering how slammed busy they were they are efficient at taking orders and getting the line moving, so support local business and you won't be disappointed.

Picnic Tables to the right; restroom in back

To survive in a very small back-highway community or town, a restaurant must serve good food because most of it customers are local. Few tourists to snare here. Chatty Kathy's is not an exception and the ortega hamburger I had was very good. A big bun held a large beef patty, ortega chili, cheese, tomato and lettuce. Two pickle slices were on the side. The staff were efficient and helpful. I ate in one of the few booths inside, foregoing an outside picnic table. Kathy must like birds: there were a few bird photos as part of the spartan decor and a bird feeder hanging outside.

AMAZING!!! We took a day trip to Burney Falls. I had never been in the area. On the way home we were going to stop at a quick subway but decided why not try something local. We found chatty Kathy's and I am so glad we did. We got a couple burgers and the macaroni salad. Both the burgers were great! Super tasty and a great size. The macaroni salad was one of the best I've ever had. It tastes a bit.... pickled I think? But it was absolutely delicious. We also got a shake, peanut butter and Caramel. It was soooo good. The perfect thickness and the taste was great. I wish we could go again, if we're ever in the area we will! Although the prices are good, my only complaint is when we looked up chatty Kathy's on google the prices were about half of what they actually are. So those need to get updated.

Hot dog

My sister said it was the best hot dog she's had in her life. My Swiss mushroom burger was delicious and the side of tots was well fried. We loved it so much we bought a T-shirt. Thanks for lunch, Kathy! - your friends, Amy & Shelbie

Don't listen to David's negative review. My family stopped here on our way home from camping and this place was exactly what we were looking for! The service was fast and friendly, the place was very clean and inviting. I chatted with Kathy's sister about where some of the local art was taken on the walls, and they gave me even more tips for our trip next year! I got the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and it was absolutely the best burger I've had for a while, real burger shack style. All of the ingredients were incredibly fresh and it was the most quality burger I've probably gotten in Northern California! We all got a mix of sides and they were all amazing! We look forward to trying the ice cream next year! Thanks so much for the great dining experience Kathy and family

Best Ortega burger in the world! Fast, friendly service & darling chalet drive-in. No wonder it's busy every time I drive by.

Jolene or Jolynn (sorry not sure how to spell) was our server and made sure our experience at the…read morebar area was smooth and enjoyable. She even helped me charge my power box while I was away from camp!! In addition to the hospitality, the food was great and everyone was happy with their meal. My Alfredo was spot on but my chicken Parmesan was a little salty but overall it was very good. I had to pack it up and take it back to the campsite to finish up that night. The bar area was intimate and comfortable to dine in. We stayed there so we could watch TV and be close to the outlet for my power box to charge. I highly recommend this location to people in town. If you're from out of town and visiting the area, this is a necessary stop to dine.

We were on the Lassen National Park area last evening and landed at the Outpost for dinner. My…read morewife Carolyn and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner. It exceeded our expectations! The server Monique took great care of us . The food was delicious, the plates were hot, the salad greens were crisp and delicious. Monique got me a taste of a local craft brew that was on tap and it was excellent, so of course I ordered it. She also gave us a couple of tips on things to see in the area. We'll go to Burney Falls tomorrow after seeing the Lassen volcanic National Park today We highly recommend the Outpost if you are on the area.
