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

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

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! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

Great burger fast service! Highly recommend!! Order ahead if you're in a hurry at lunch time place was pretty busy.

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

The shakes and fries are the best. Friendly service, popular with the locals. We plan to visit again soon

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

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

Corina is in town this week and she saw their first Friday night special was if you purchase two burgers you get a large fry for free so we went. Excellent customer service, delicious food and an open environment always makes this place a winner. And still our favorite burgers! read more

I didn't like the food tasted wing stop burger the patty feel frozen and the bread the use isn't it. The owner keep staring at me when I order hope they was that good enough with trying to get my order fast and completely forgot the pepper and fries and she look at me angry like I had to remind them they are not even paying attention just a waste of money in my opinion. Don't eat here lousy people always outside rude service no one cleans after them self it all a dump fire. read more

It's a great place for a quick meal. It's been around for so long because what they do works. This double Damburger with cheese some fries and a strawberry shake hit the spot. And for only $15 well worth the money spent. I was really impressed with how friendly and respectful the employees were. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here again. I will definitely stop by when ever in the area. read more

On our way to Oregon and find this gem. The food was so delicious. Burgers tasted so yummy, fries tasty. I will definitely come back here on my way to Oregon again. Customer service was excellent!! I will be back in September . read more

Online ordering works well and allows you to minimize your time standing around the outdoor patio where masking is not enforced, as I observed at my visit yesterday. People were ordering and standing around and waiting at their tables without masks, with staff bustling around (masked) providing service without any reminders. Be aware the Damburger has a thing about tomatoes- they're not available on your burgers. I appreciate that there are two vegetarian burger options. read more

I loooooove these burgers! I'm a thin patty lady till the day I die, so this is one of the only places around here that I really enjoy! Good fry sauce to boot! read more

Customer service was top notch greeted by a server and eager to take our order. I always love a nice just down to earth burger place that doesn't overdue it just simple like back in the 60s. The malt and fries were simple and delicious, seen a few bad reviews but seems like they set the standard high it's a simple burger that's the best part tasty and hits that spot from when you were a kid. would return read more

I've driven by Damburger my whole life and I'm pretty sure this was my first time eating here. I'd heard mixed reviews, but it seemed the only appropriate place to eat after our drive to Shasta Dam. I took my wife and kids here and we loved it. Pretty small burger but also not too pricey. I definitely recommend getting your burger with "the works" which adds a nice kick of flavor. Great melted cheese pull with the first bite. Should have grabbed a picture but we ate it too fast. Nutella + Oreo shake was amazing read more

Fast friendly service. Outdoor seating with heaters made for a nice lunch environment. Will be back many more times.

Damburger, I love thee with all my heart. A double damburger with cheese & the works. Living nearby has its perks. A PB shake or Rootbeer Float. I think we'll need a bigger boat. Fries to share, crispy and hot... extra fry sauce hits the spot. I will be back, because can't you see---I love the dam place endlessly! read more

very respectful and kind servers, SUPER quick service. affordable and delicious food to enjoy anytime

Loved this place when my husband first took me years ago... the flat top burger is perfect, thin and crispy on the edges ! I order a double w/ mustard, mayo, pickles , onion and lettuce and it's always delicious. It had been a while since we'd been there since I went gluten free , until I found out they offer GF burger buns and they are actually good buns ! Order their fries extra crispy and they are the perfect side. We love this place! read more
