Precisely the best burger in Redding,CA Shasta County NorCal!! Located in Downtown Redding near Cascade Theatre. Burgers, fries, and milkshakes were so DAMN GOOD and juicy tender!! Portions were pretty generous and reasonable prices. Rapid service and friendly staff. Fresh food and ingredients. Clean ambiance and indoor dining was vintage and neat: outdoor dining was available too and it was also very comfy; you can enjoy outside fresh air near street parking. Parking was also very easy to find and you could walk a few blocks. They probably called it DamBurger restaurant because their burgers must be so DAMN GOOD. It's probably historical and the institution was established in 1938. This must be related to the construction history of Shasta Dam and Keswick Dam. Much better than Burger King and In N Out Burger!! This is a must-try burger restaurant while visiting Redding, CA and it's totally worth it! I will totally eat here again when I stay and visit Redding,CA. read more

Amazing service from a nice young lady. Great Dam Hot burger. Atmosphere was perfect. Value lunch menus were a deal. read more

One of the very best places to get a delicious burger and fries. Not to mention that they have awesome milk shakes and fry sauce.

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??? read more

Drove a long way down I-5 on a Friday night looking forward to dinner here, and we never even got inside. There was no parking anywhere near the place -- we circled and circled and finally gave up. We were tired and hungry and had to eat somewhere else down the road. If folks can't park, they can't come in. read more

The burgers and fries were amazing. We were passing thru and so glad we stopped. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

We travel to Redding twice a year and we always go to bartell's for the best burger. Someone mentioned that this place was better..soggy lettuce...ugh. over cooked meat... Milk shake was like dairy Queen soft ice cream..sketchy area . Darn . Wanted to like but not good! And I'm really sad we missed our Bartell's read more

Old school all the way! Get a double patty fries and a real Pepsi! Sit on an old school swivel and befriended by the staff. Been there about 90 years I'm told so when you are cruisen to Reno Give it a stop for lunch! read more

I'm new to Redding and decided to give this place a try because it was downtown and very convenient on my way home from leaving the hospital to visit my dad. I was very happy with my decision! I got a hamburger, fries and a chocolate shake. The hamburger was so good I found myself wanting another. lol. The meat is high quality, the buns are fresh and the toppings are fresh as well. Fries were nice and golden, well seasoned and soft on the inside. The chocolate shake was great as well! On top of all those positive things, this place is very affordable! You get a good sized burger for 5.95$. My mom and myself both ate dinner for 25$! I highly recommend Damburger if you are looking for a good old fashioned fresh burger! The staff is also attentive, nice and helpful! read more

Exactly as advertised. Double dam with fries and a milkshake Burger was great. Shoestring fries on point. Shake yummy. Fry sause worth all .25 cents. A Redding institution. read more

Only used my CC in one place while on vacation. Here. Bought a ice cream malt for 6 bucks... Stole my credit card information and attempted to purchase 2 glocks and accessories. Won't be going back here. read more

Stopped in with the family and had a great meal. Service was fast, staff were friendly, prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. Menu is simple in a good way. Damburger knows what they do, and they do it well. Menu includes a vegan Beyond burger which was very good. I certainly appreciate a plant-based option! We will definitely be back. read more

I'll cut to the chase: Dam-service. My best friend: "what's on the difference between the works and original?" Tall Rude Waitress: "It's on the menu" Taking the rest of our order was uncomfortable to say the least; she clearly does not want to work there. This was my best friend's and my first time here and will not be back. Pipeline down the street has better food, better ambience, and employs people who are not rude to the customers. The other waitresses took over and they at least smiled and happy to be there. That saved the one star rating. read more

BEWARE!!!!! USED OUR CARD INFO AND TRIED TO BUY $2,000 WORTH OF STUFF!!!!!! Thankfully we were on vacation and back on the road so it was very very easy to for the bank to charge for fraud because we were in a different county by the time they tried to spend $200 on a gun and about ten other online purchases but it really sucked this happened. We totally enjoyed our food and the service from the girls but will never come back here. We come here twice a year, every year ever since we moved away and it's the one spot we make sure to visit which is what we told them. Sucks someone here tried to take advantage of us. Also while we were in Redding for vacation we only used our card here and that showed on our purchase history so it was pretty easy to figure out. PATHETIC. Low class redding never disappoints. Glad we moved out man. read more

This is how I remember burgers used to taste when I was a kid! Fast fresh and delicious every time! Single cheese, fries, and a drink. I love this place. read more

yo vegans / vegetarians - the is the best beyond burger in town. Can't explain why, but it's amazing. Great fries too

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! read more

Damburger - This is what delicious looks like. Hamburgers come out of the kitchen so hot you can warm your hands on them. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Redding, California

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 read more

Damburger - Hotdog !! Fantastic - Hot Dogs Near Me - Redding, California

Went to Dam Burger last night for dinner. That's a weird place. I felt like I was stepping into a different world. The place looks the same as I imagine it did almost 90 years ago, but the people all looked alike but different. It was really weird. They all had the same color hair and the same color clothes from head to toe (uniform?). The only thing that set them all apart was different body types. And this one person kept staring at me. Ummmm.... hello! I can't try to suck my milk shake out of this tiny straw with you watching me. AWWWWKWARD Hamburger was ok. A bit too mustard heavy for my liking. Root beer milkshake was lacking on flavor. But the fires were great!! read more

Love this place! very good food, friendly service, prompt ordering and delivery! It is my new favorite Redding hamburger place! For you Redding Old-timers who ate at Pac Out back in the day, Damburger reminds me of there. I'd love to see Damburger add tots! read more

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. read more

I went here for a shake while going to school. The shake was wonderful and the staff was incredibly hospitable. Very pleasant restaurant altogether. read more

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. read more

Damburger - The soda fountain and old fashioned menu. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Redding, California

Ordered 3 burgers, two helens and a double helen for pick up. After getting home and inspecting the food, all three burger were completely raw. I've never had such horrible service. How in gods name do you serve not one, not two, but three completely raw burgers?? I wish I could say this was some sort of sick joke, but this is just classless and disgusting. The patties werent even browned on the outside, they were barely grey, like they only hit the grill for less than 10 seconds and then got thrown onto a bun. Absolutely sickening. If you care at all about your health and safety, I highly suggest eating anywhere else, even McDonald's. If I could give a negative star rating, I would. read more

Great little burger place. No onion rings and only Pepsi fountain drinks. I'm a coke guy. Burger was made as I requested, pickles and mustard only, bun was fresh meat was cooked properly. The cheese options were pepper Jack and American. The fries reminded me of what In n Out serves. Hot and delicious! Of course I selected the place because they serve malts. The chocolate malt had a great flavor but wasn't mixed well. There were lumps of malt. Doesn't bother me, just mentioning it. The staff member delivered my to go order without my malt, but quickly found it in the freezer. The paper straw was very narrow and worthless. But I have a supply of appropriate straws. Overall, an excellent meal. Quick service and friendly staff. Stop by if you haven't! read more

I always like to find mom an pop burger places rather than the big chains, tho I still love In N Out! Damburger is a place to stop if you're in Redding often like I am. Service is friendly and the food comes out without a long wait. Outdoor dining is available if the weather is nice. I was here with a friend and we both got burgers and shared a order of fries. The food was hot and tasty. Sure, there's a lot of burger places around , but Damburger is one of the better ones. The prices aren't rock bottom, but the food isn't either. Check this place out. read more

We found this online and went here because the prices were good and they had different flavor shakes. We came on a Saturday night (they're closed Sunday and Monday) and our was not busy at all. There were 12 of us in the group and we took up the whole inside. It's not a big place at all. Parking was easy. It seems the locals like to come here. The staff were super friendly and work very hard. I like supporting small businesses like this. The food came real fast. The portions were good. The prices were fair. The choices were varied. I like the Nutella shake that I got. The veggie burger was good with the grilled onions otherwise, it was nothing special. read more

Another fun spot to check out in downtown Redding. Parking can be a little tricky at times because of the location, but that just comes with the territory--you deal with it and move on. The restaurant itself is small but clean, and the food is worth it. The burgers here are on the thinner side, which comes down to preference, but I enjoy them. They toast the buns nearly to perfection, and the fry sauce is phenomenal. The shakes aren't my favorite compared to other places I've reviewed, but still decent. One thing I really like is that if you're sitting outside, the staff usually brings the food out to you and you pay afterwards--a nice touch for a fast-food style place. Service is generally friendly, and overall, it makes for a good experience. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Located near the corner of Placer & Pine, Damburger is easy to spot because of the large Pepsi sign in front. I happened to drive by on a hot day so a cold soda sound pretty good. The inside isn't real fancy. It's like is one of those old school burger joints that's been around for decades. Good service and good food are it's recipe for success. I ordered a double burger combo from a friendly waitress and it was ready in few short minutes. My burger was well done but wasn't dry or burnt. It had a good flavor, nice soft bun, cheese, and some tasty grilled pinions. It wasn't fancy, but it really didn't need to be. It stood on it's own legs without anything like pickled onions, garlic aioli, or pretzel buns. My fries were cooked perfectly and had a hint golden brown color to them. I took my time eating them but they didn't get cold or soggy. The food and friendly service definitely stand out at Damburger. No wonder is been around so long. It's just dam good. read more

Well I have to say after visiting dam burger for the first and only time . The service was great atmosphere was cool but the food we'll I'm sure something's are good here I can't say that about the burgers I order a dbl cheeseburger when I open the package I was definitely not expecting what I saw the patties looked like they been smashed in a vise they were not even a quarter of an inch they were so flat you could almost see thru them but this was my experience and for the price I paid for this burger I dint think paper thin burgers were worth going back . read more

Just drove 3 hours from Sacramento and when I walked in although they are operating they told me they were closed no mention on their website. Will never be back. Showed no concern when I said I just drove this far. Horrible practice. Went to barrel's which although not bad is not the same nor Beirut as good as here. read more

I was so excited to eat at damBurgers after hearing their reputation for a good tasting simple burger . The burger overall was fairly good reminded me of bartels and the fries were meh. I would have loved to give it 4 stars but the works were not very welcoming , seemed frustrated and tired . The one girl with blonde hair on the other hand was super helpful , nice and had great customer service . I do like the burgers but don't consider them the best in Redding I do appreciate their history and how long they have been in Redding. read more

Damburger - 1 patty burger , onions and Jack cheese - Hot Dogs Near Me - Redding, California

We needed to grab a bite to eat and decided to go to Damburger since we drove by it after our dinner the night before. Damnurger did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly. Get the sauce for the fries and ask for the fry sauce on your burger. The cheeseburger was fantastic, and the peanut butter shake was awesome, too! We sat inside but there was an outdoor option and they had a mister on the patio. It was damn good and a damn great experience at DAMBURGER! If you are looking for a great burger, friendly staff, and some great shakes, DAMBURGER is your place. Would definitely go back if we are in town again. read more

A simple burger for a road trip on I-5. After 5+ hours on the road, this little hole in the wall really hit the spot. I got the Damburger with no onions, so only lettuce and mustard inside. The patty was very thin and flavorful! The burger bun is very similar to In-N-Out's style of bread. The fries are a similar style to McDonald's, but I personally think Damburger's are better. They are very lightly salted, so if you prefer salty fries, you should ask for more. The staff was really friendly and made sure all customers were social distancing outside. There are no customers allowed inside the store, but there is outdoor seating if you are comfortable. Two burgers and mega fries only took about 5 minutes! Super quick and perfect for a road trip. Also keep in mind, there is no public bathroom here! read more
