The burger patties here are fresh and local. It's cooked well and oozes with juice as you bite into. For a small town joint, I was amazed by the quality. Surely better than any big name burger restaurant. Takes cash only so be prepared read more

My girlfriend and I decided to drop in for fries and a shake during lunch. We walked in behind one of the workers and were greeted with barely a shrug. Bad day maybe? There were a few senior citizens talking to the other employee sitting at one end of the small dining area, so we sat at the other end. While we waited for our order the woman sitting with the other (apparently) local customers began talking about how much Donald Trump is being picked on and this, that and the other about Democrats. At this point our order arrived and we found the shake very good. The fries were another story. They appeared to be hand cut style Fries marinated in cheap fryer oil. We were able to pick some sorry swimmers from the batch but we ended up tossing most of them. So if you don't mind greasy food with a healthy dose of MAGA drivel on top this is your place. read more

Since all sohum past gville doesnt care to serve the locals...we drive 20 min for a great meal here!

My boyfriend and I were driving back from Eureka, CA. He was starving! This place was wonderful. Make sure you GPS it, as you can NOT see it from the road. It has fantastic parking all along the Main Street for Semi-trucks (yeah us!). I got the classic cheeseburger, and my boyfriend did the bacon, mushroom, Swiss. Both were delicious. This is a great place to grab soft serve ice cream as well, and take a break from the road. Clean bathrooms, nice owners, great food! read more

Dj's Burger Bar - Very cute burger place, with fun outside seating. - Burgers Near Me - Rio Dell, California

Bring Cash they don't use card. Other than that the bufallo burger was perfect. Service was awesome. Prices are a steal for burgers that good. I'll go back again. read more

Burger was good, they didn't take debit cards which made it a hassle. I had to go a few blocks to find atm machine.

Yum! You can taste the fresh beef every delicious bite of your very well priced burger. A small burger stand with big value and taste. $10 for a bacon cheese burger fries and large drink. In humboldt county this is a great Deal! Will most definitely be returning read more

I have eaten at this place throughout the years. These reviews are pretty hilarious. The meat is very low grade as is all of their items on the menu. If you want to "go back in time" you've already done so by being in the area and perhaps this is what you want. Also, the old lady there is constantly rude to customers. I've seen it over and over again. They even charge extra for extra ketchup. If you want a stomach ache and a headache this is the place. read more

To go order took almost an hour. Our food was extremely greasy and they placed our drinks in the bag with the food and the lid came off on one of the drinks. read more

I haven't been there in years, but was just daydreaming about the best burger I've ever had! The jalapeno burger is to die for!

DJ's is what a Burger place should be. The staff are fun and friendly, the portions are generous & the burgers are unbeatable. If you're in the mood for the classic burger & fries this is the place place you should go. They also offer Buffalo burgers, veggie burgers, and an amazing variety of milkshakes. read more

Stopped off for a quick meal on the road. The food was fresh, served quickly and was excellent. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and a milkshake-the bill was only $10.50. It was a great experience all around. read more

Amazing burger which was really really fresh and excellent quality! Lovely family small burger place which was very popular with the locals it seems. We had the cheese bacon burger with fries. One portion enough between two for those with smaller appetites. read more

Dj's Burger Bar - Cheese bacon burger - Burgers Near Me - Rio Dell, California

See all

Very good all around.Been going there for almost 7 years.I highly recommend the Jalepeno Burger,Onion Rings and the Peanut Butter Shakes.Nice and clean.Quality ingredients with good price and service.Well worth the drive from other parts of Humboldt. read more

You can't go wrong with their burgers. My hubby loves the double jalepeno burger and I love the plain old cheeseburger. Fries are on the greasy side, but they are french fries after all. Their breakfast is simple done right...when you order over medium eggs you get the runny yoke with the whites fully cooked, which so many restaurants seem to struggle with. You CAN'T beat the prices! read more

A complete surprise. Ordered a burger and a taco, ate the burger first and could not believe how fresh, tasty and well balanced that was. I opened the taco and was shocked to see it was made just as I make them at home and have never had anyplace else done the same way. Flour shell fried on both sides, small amount of cheese sprinkled in hot shell, nicely seasoned grease free ground beef with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, avocado and possibly more and hot sauce served on the side. I went back with empty tray and gave them a $10 tip and told them the food was "off the hook". If I lived in town this would be regular stop and I would tell everyone to keep them in business and eat there once a week. Very friendly girls doing a great job. Love it! read more

Well the only reson thisbdidnt get better reviews is the hours they open early and close way to early hahahaha i would love to go there for dinner but unfortunately cant... food is great and moderately priced this is a true old time burgar shack and if feels like you step back in time when going there the malts ar amazing and the service is great! The seating isint the best but it works for them and the fue times i ate in it was an enjoyable experience! Well screw it after wrighting this post i will give 5 stars go check this place out people! read more

I don't normally write reviews but I felt compelled to this time. DJs has good hamburgers but that's about the only thing good about DJs. I'm a regular there who's probably been in there once a week for years and I just received the absolute most horrible service for the last time and I will never go back there again. After calling in an order ahead of time, I went in and was completely ignored when I was standing, sitting and trying to pay for my order at the counter. finally, after ten minutes, the fat doofus asked me if I was being helped like he didn't see me and look at me the second I walked in the door... When I finally paid they didn't even have my order ready! They pretended like they misheard my name, and gave me another order with somebody else's name written on it... so I got some guys order named "Dave" ...and no doubt they probably gave "Dave" my buffalo burger. They still made me pay for it and acted like they didn't even know who I am even though I've been in there once a week for years and have put up with their crap service and food and have always tipped well and been friendly. ... so f these people. These people are not the most intelligent or friendly people. They are miserable and the methed out lady in there puts on a good show. The ice cream sucks, their milkshakes and blizzards are watered down, the fries are a disgusting heaping mass of soggy wet grease in a soggy wet paper bag. this place is an overall joke but hey it's the only thing that Rio Dell has to offer so what do you expect. People don't have any other choice! read more

Classic burgers at their best! pretty good old school joint. atmosphere is a little scary.......

Super nice people and burgers are on point! Love the buffalo burger option and the ice cream shakes and blizzards are amazing! It sucks their not open later....id probably dine there a few nights a week but they close so early, i think 6pm? They also have outside dining tables, which i prefer cause the inside is to cramped for my style. Over all wonderful. read more

Really good burgers and fries. Tasted like 5 Guys. Older lady taking orders was really nice. Place is small and due to weather had to eat inside. Locals were having conversations about local things. Good burger! read more

Have eaten at DJ's for years, it has always been good or better, not today. Fries were greasy as always, however they were a much smaller cut which made them even greasier. The burgers were thinner and cooked to oblivion. Sawdust would have had more flavor. read more

Great burgers for a good price. If your looking for a quick bite it's a good place to stop.

Old fashion burger bar with old fashion service. Breakfast Thursday through Saturday is outstanding. Fair warning: the excellent pancakes take up the whole plate. Keep this in mind when you order. read more

Great little burger shack. Good fries and good onion rings. The shake could have been better. Overall was a great place to stop and eat.

A cute little burger joint in a small town. We enjoyed our burgers, fries and onion rings. Not much space but was nice seeing people pair up on the tables, introduce each other and have nice conversations. read more

We stopped by here to grab something to eat while traveling. I had the bacon mushroom swiss burger, my husband had the cheeseburger, two of the kids had the footlong hotdogs and our other child had the chicken taco. The burgers were juicy and delicious. The tomatoes tasted fresh out of the garden. The footlong hotdogs were served split on toasted buns. The chicken taco was large in portion size and delicious as well. I would recommend this stop on anyone's travel plans. It was worth the detour. read more

Dj's is awesome! Love their french fries and they have great selection of blizzards. Very few burger places left that truly give you the hometown goodness that brings you back time after time. read more

Surprise, surprise. There's a hidden gem of a roadside burger joint in Rio Dell. Two minutes off the freeway, DJ's is worth the stop. Flattop grilled burgers, terrific fries. Impressive. read more

DJ's Burger Bar is the Best! Same feel as the local "Fresh Freeze" Or "Bobs Footlongs" in the area. When you first walk in, you feel like you've walked into someone's home (dining room) that's an added plus to the experience that Bobs or Fresh Freeze doesn't have. Residential dining tables, lace tablecovers, lamps & lighting making the ambiance pleasent and photos on the walls. It's a small dining area, maybe 2 full sized tables, but alternate seating outside on their deck. The food is delicious, fries cut from Real Potatoes, Burgers made to order, perfect milkshakes, and nice golden, onion rings. The wait typically isn't long maybe 15minutes; but you can call in your order ahead of time for pick up! I live just two blocks away & head to DJs each chance I get! I would highly reccomend it to any passer by's or friends of mine. Perfect place to stop for lunch with a friend, or on an evening with no kids just crusin. Love DJs and the hardwork the ladies behind the counter put in to make their food so fresh and yummy! Only thing I would change is to add Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks to the Menu. read more

Josh is right the food is greasy but isn't that what americans love. Aside from that...the service is lacking especially if you are an attractive female. Very poor service and rude behavior by the women who service this establishment. Should have known by the dirty looks but anorther local businessman told me about the treatment of women by the staff. I must say they have an older man who goes in back who is just lovely. Hey ladies don't be such haters... read more

I love there burgers..I often drive miles to get them. The garlic fries are amazing too. For a tiny burger stand this is as good as it gets
