    Outside area and iconic Damburger sign
    Sim B.

    I have been coming to Damburger since I was a child -- probably about 20 years -- and I have to say, I can never get enough of it! Damburger is an institution in Redding, CA. It dates back to 1938 and has been serving up the best burgers since Shasta Dam began its construction, hence the name. The inside probably hasn't changed in just about as long, and has a comforting old school burger joint/diner kind of vibe. My favorite place to sit is right at the counter where you can see all the action and chat with the owners who are often around. In my opinion its simple yet addictive thin patty burgers rival even In N Out. I always get a single dam with "The Works" and it never disappoints. Flavorful, crispy, quality, iconic. Damburger is one of the most consistent restaurants around, and personally I love that the menu never really changes. I pair the single dam with some fries, sriracha sauce, and if I'm really feeling crazy -- a malted vanilla milkshake, which is my dad's favorite. Even though I don't live in Redding, I make it a point to come to Dambuger at least once, but usually twice, in every trip. If you're visiting, this is a MUST go, can't skip restaurant. And if you're a local and you haven't been yet... well what are you waiting for???

    Double Damburger

    I visited here on 6/3/25, the burgers are great and the prices weren't bad either. The fries are great and the service is friendly. I'd definitely recommend. They were busy too so you know it's good!

    This is what delicious looks like. Hamburgers come out of the kitchen so hot you can warm your hands on them.

    Sometimes, a double dam with bacon is just what you need. The made-to-order burgers come out of the kitchen so fast they warm your hands even before the first bite!

    Hotdog !! Fantastic

    You gotta love this place- The service is excellent, never had a bad meal, and it fits the bill for a great hamburger place or hotdog. Counter top dining or you can go out to the patio. Fries and shakes are exceptional. The staff keeps this place spic and span

    What a find in downtown Redding! We were looking for Summer Nights at the Park which wasn't open so this place struck us as a fitting replacement. It reminds me of the hamburger spots from my youth and the location is outstanding right near some hot spots. Entering I noticed it was full, the customers were all smiling and the atmosphere was welcoming. We were greeted promptly and our questions answered. We both chose the double Hot Dams and I highly recommend it. The burgers were perfectly cooked, cheese fresh and condiments well matched. We got out for twenty bucks for two doubles with fries, matching up to where we are from we could have purchased a single with bacon for the same. I highly recommended this place to everyone who is hungry... it's the perfect spot.

    The soda fountain and old fashioned menu.

    We love this place. It was our first time here, we were just traveling through. It is such a cute place, it reminds me of old burger places back in the day (80's). The burger wasn't greasy, it had a great flavour, even the original (1/6 lb) was plenty for me. My husband ordered the double and that was enough meat for him. The four of us loved the French fries so much, we got another order to share. The service was fast. We only sat at a table for about 2 minutes and someone came by to take our order. Then about a minute later, another person asked us if we would like to order. They are friendly here and the place is very clean. We enjoy a burger night a few times a month during warm weather. This is a place we will return to any time we are in the area! Give it a try, it's like being transported back in time minus the old arcade games.

    My mom and I decided to finally try Fast Weenies. She got the Kraut dog and I got the Chicago dog…read moreand potato salad. She really liked the Kraut dog and I enjoyed the Chicago dog. I've never had a hot dog with tomatoes and peppers on it before, but it was so good. The spice complimented the hot dog well. Neither of us were a fan of the potato salad but if you like a spicy potato salad, you might like it. We will definitely get a hot dog from there again though! There was a bit of a line but it went by so fast. I guess that's why they're called Fast Weenies lol. The two women working were super nice as well!

    Stopped by on my day off to try this adorable little hotdog stand! I had seen it a few times, but…read moreit was closed then. The staff were very friendly and I received my order super fast. I got a Casper Dog with everything on it and a potato salad. When you state homemade for 42 years, there's no way I'm not trying it! This is where my review is going to differ from the majority that I see here and maybe I just have different tastes !!?? but I wasn't happy with the food at all. The hotdog itself had a weird consistency and the casing was strange, making a squeaky sound against my teeth when I bit down. The toppings were fine, but it was really messy and kind of offputting to have a ton of cold toppings with a lukewarm hotdog. Costco hotdogs are better in my opinion. The potato salad was OK. I can see see how people would love it and it's got a good spice to it; however, it wasn't my thing and actually left my tummy feeling a little yucky after eating everything. Great concept, but I don't think I'll be back .

    I don't fear the street food. Some people do. As Thucydides said: The bravest are those who see…read morewhat is before them -- glory and danger alike -- and go out to meet it. I'd like to think that's me, but Aristotle was probably closer to describing my kind of bravery: Moral excellence is a habit......we become brave by doing brave acts. Ari, true dat, because I've practiced eating the street food, and it's made me brave. In a prior Yelp, I praised the street-food vendors in Portland for producing the best fast food I've ever tasted, hands down. Plop me down in Vientiane, Laos (please), and first thing I'm doing is checking out some street food, Bourdain-style. Busy day, I was at the Post Office and hadn't yet had lunch at 2:00. I was on my way from the P.O. to Mike's Barber Shop. I was starving. I saw the hot dog stand sitting in front of the Post Office..... Soggy bun. Ancient steamed Polish dog that the proprietor nuked back to just above ambient temperature. Available condiments: yellow mustard and catsup dispensers, and little packets of mayo -- that's it. The mustard dispenser was empty after one pump. Odd taste to the Polish dog. I felt sick for the next six hours. Not food poisoning, but just that queazy feeling where your stomach is saying, "WTF? :::urp::: WTFF?" Two comps come to mind, one familiar to many readers, and one perhaps less familiar: (1) Costco serves up a better Polish Dog with a better selection of condiments. Hot Diggity Dog comes nowhere near meeting this modest standard. (2) Fast Weenies is little more than an immobile hot dog cart where you can get spicy mustard, onions, sauerkraut, jalapeños, and home-made sun tea. Fast Weenies leaves Hot Diggity Dog choking in it's dust, and it's not even on wheels. I don't feel like being nice, because the owner of this fart-cart isn't even trying. Run away.
