Giant Burger is always our traditional lunch when we visit the snow. We drove an hour and a half just to be greeted with closed doors, even though online hours stated it was open. Such a bummer, but we were able to patronize another local business. An updated list of hours online would be helpful. read more

Yelp recommended Giant burger for kids... I do not. The staff was kind and hard working and I got a REALLY HUGE double cheese burger with bacon for just $13 and it was great. For my son they sold him a "baby" burger for $12 which looks like the size of something off the dollar menu at Mc D's for literally a dollar less than my amazing burger. Lastly I asked for Cold Slices of Cheese. My daughter doesn't eat meat and usually not bread either. I was charged $9 for a "grilled cheese". It was 3 slices of cheese... seriously. So my review is either order a grownup portion and split everything, or maybe Giant Burger will read my post and start working on a different kids menu read more

While the burgers are pretty alright, please heed the warnings of the Yelp reviews that this venue may randomly be closed. Attempted to visit at 12PM on a weekend and the venue was inexplicably closed, with no notice on Yelp / Google; however, they did post a paper to the door saying someone was having a wedding. We watched numerous people approach and leave the venue after discovering it was closed. :( If you make it out and find the venue closed, your alternative food options are severely limited. If you're in the general area, it's a safer bet to visit Murphy's Pourhouse - better food and reliably open. read more

Giant Burger has always had mediocre food in a dirty location, and the whole experience was overpriced. New ownership. The place has been cleaned up considerably but the food is still mediocre. Problem is, now they also raised prices on everything. This place was overpriced at the old prices, I won't go there any more at the new higher prices. Tourists will still visit, but return customer locals are less likely to. read more

Great French fries!! The restaurant was extra clean and the service was good. My western baby burger had two big onion rings, but a bit too much bbq sauce. For sure stopping there on my next trip up highway 4. read more

I thought it would be a good hole in the wall coming back from Big Tree, but this was not good, dry burger, bad flavor, the shake was fine, I will pass on this place from now on. read more

This place is the best! A+ customer service, the fries and the burgers top Notch! Headed out to the snow for your Lunch here, ask for Dave read more

What a classic place for gourmet burgers! The menu is very simple but the quality of the food is just fabulous! The staffs were so friendly and they all love what they are making for the customers. We ordered a baby burger, a grilled cheese, a giant burger, a French fries, and peach milkshake. Boy, everything is just perfect! The staff even redo our a grilled cheese (probably holding to a high standard of the quality?) and the result - it's so good. We even got extra portion of the fries because of the additional wait. Oh, did I mention the peach milk shake is flawless? One of the best I have had for a while. This place is a gem in Arnold. You have to visit here when you are in town. We not only got fed with great burger here but the warm service by its stuffs also made our day. read more

First time stopping here in many years. It has new owners recently and they are looking to revamp. Place was super clean but I couldn't get past the ridiculous prices. $25 bucks for a burger fries and a drink. Not sure how people will afford to eat here. $3.50 for a 20oz soda. Food was ok, burger was cooked and seasoned buns are too dense for the burger, I would give it a 6 but at $15 you would want it to be a 10. Fries $5 were fresh and very crispy definitely a 10. Hubby had a shake for $7 and it was pretty good a 8. Chicken sandwich $15 was also just ok 6. I hope this place realizes where they are and makes some serious adjustments to their pricing. I won't be returning anytime soon for this cost as even at a great burger joint it doesn't cost these prices. For two sandwiches, one fry, a coke and a shake $43. read more

Two thumbs all the way down on Giant Burger. The place is just flat out bad. Terrible wait - (took over 45 minutes to get our food). Then the staff actually asks us to not eat there since they want to close up (after we wait 45min for our food). Pretty rude, but I generally side with workers so I deal with it and leave. Burgers were overcooked, dry and awful. A waste of junk food calories. The kicker was that they shorted us a whole double cheeseburger from our order. That's $12 for a burger we didn't even receive. And we tipped them generously on a $85 order. Never again. Avoid. read more

Honestly the food is amazing. I got the giant burger with bacon and the sauce in the burger was amazing. The meat was juicy and it tasted very fresh. There was outside seating for me and my dog. It's definitely a burger joint that I will be recommending to everyone. The workers were very nice and made you feel like you belong. The environment was very peaceful and was an amazing place to just pop in and eat before you head out. 100% coming back. read more

Paid $52 for four mediocre burgers and two orders of fries. Just go get subway don't waste your time. Not worth the price read more

Amazing soft serve, huge and creamy. Must try!! great burgers & fries. Their grill is smallish so it takes a bit of time to get your order ready. read more

Decent burger joint with hit and miss service...went the first time when a woman (could be the owner) was running it and the burger was good ...went the second time and some younger people were running it and the burger was overcooked and toppings were sloppily done ... read more

Great burger! GREAT food and great service. Only half of this place as a/c but lucky of us it's the part where we sit and eat. I found this place as I was leaving big trees park. I had just did a killer hike and was demanding protein of some sorts. I did expect a giant burger with a giant bun, like something you see on TV. Not quite, I was about to yell false advertising. I changed my mind after the first bit. The patty is like double thick and seasoned really well. I liked it right away! I did not get the frys however I did see them on someone else's order and the frys looked really good especially the loaded frys! Keep in mind this place is an old diner style, a lot of history is here and posted on the walls. Even so, the food presentation is old school. The burger comes wrapped in paper on a paper tray. Bottom line : Eat here read more

See all

Food was alright. What you would expect for a mountain burger joint. The issue we had was the wait time. It took over 40 minutes from the time we ordered two burgers to the time we got them. Way too slow. Could have almost driven all the way home in the time it took to get our meal. read more

Great burgers, fries, and shakes! Friendly staff and great tunes! I always make sure to stop here when in town.

It may have no ambiance but the people are the nicest. Food is done right. Food is hot. Milkshakes are over the moon good. You have to visit giant burger if you're up this way. Not to be missed. Update: Just met the new owner and he is so nice. Will be remodeling his place and adding a patio so ambiance will be kicked up a notch. Please try this place the food is so worth it. Cooked to order! And one of my favorites is they toast all their buns. Nothing worse than a burger on a cold bun. read more

The Giant Burger is unlike any other GB location you might drop in on. ''Tis true that it is fast food, so don't take your calorie counter with you when you tear into their mouth pleasing and stomach filling burger or patty melt (my fav), coupled with garlic drenched fries, you will surely enjoy!!! I wish that I could remember the name of the lady handling the grill. She gave me a big hug after learning that I am a Vietnam vet grappling with PTSD. Parking can be a challenge when you pull in, but hang in there, your visit will be worth it! read more

Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The chicken tenders were hot and very tasty. The fries were crisp and tender on the inside. We hesitated to come here based on the reviews but glad we did. read more

Fries are the best here. Burgers are not bad, but I've had better. One thing though; if you want to customize your burger, BEWARE! Make sure they get your order correctly because I tried to customize it and they got it all mixed up. The sassy and rude cashier did not help. Also I don't recommend the onion rings, $5 for only 6 rings? Meh. Went to give this place a second chance, and they messed the order up again... read more

Giant Burger - Sign - Burgers Near Me - Arnold, California

Stopped here after hiking at Big Trees. Was pretty hungry. They were really busy at 12:45, took about 30 minutes to get my burger. It was ok. Bun was a little stale but imagine it might be hard getting fresh supplies during the pandemic. Friendly staff. read more

Always a place to dine in whenever we're up at our cabin! Nice staff very accommodating... well people in Arnold are generally good natured folks. One of the reasons my wife and me decided to get a place up there. Shakes are my personal favorite, burgers fries reminiscent of how they make burgers in the day! read more

This is under new ownership and the owner is a fantastic guy! The only issue right now is the wait time because the food is off the hook and the entire community comes out to eat here because it is so well loved. Have patience, Giant Burger has been around for a long time and the new owner is going to lead it into better place for all to enjoy! read more

We came here a year ago and weren't impressed but this ski season we decided to give it another try because of a big sign out front that said "under new ownership/management", plus it's right on our way in and out of town, so the location is super convenient for a quick bite when we're on the road. We've eaten here twice this season and both times the food was a lot better than the time before the ownership/management transition. The first time, I had a chili cheese dog and I would say it was easily on my top 10 list of best chili dogs ever. It was a bit messy but the chili was exactly what you would want and expect, and the hot dog was huge and tasted like a good quality dog. The second time, I had a western burger and while it was good, it tasted a tiny bit oversalted. The sweet potato fries were good as well. My 2.5 year old had corn dogs both times and loved them both times. My husband had burgers both times and said they were good as well. The staff and management are friendly and professional as well. We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

amazing food !!!! great scenery and vibe. the tall male walking the restaurant was very friendly. But the food .. cooked to perfection and fresh off the grill too. read more

Sometimes you just want a good, homestyle burger. Giant Burger is one of the few spots for them in the area, with a simple menu of burgers and chicken sandwiches, fries and onion rings, shakes and malts. The big shocker here is that the fish and chips (cod) are actually decent! "Giant" burgers are 1/3 lb, with a thin, wide patty and plenty of fresh toppings- they don't seem to season the meat much if at all, but they weren't too greasy and the meat itself was fresh. O-rings and fries are openly dumped from a frozen bag ino the fryer, but you can't really expect much better for this area... don't bother with the garlic fries, which had probably a teaspoon of minced garlic on them. Fish is a solid option, beer-battered but not too thick. This isn't a gourmet burger experience, and it's not trying to be. Leave your snobbery at home, and pick up your order at the window promptly so your number isn't screamed across the dining room several times. read more

Giant Burger - Burgers Near Me - Arnold, California

Tried to go here two nights in a row, and both times at 4:30/5pm were told that they were not taking any more orders, as they were too far behind. Not sure what is happening staffing-wise, but can't say much for the food, as we were never able to try any of it. read more

I have been so impressed with them since the new owners came in! We are local (dont eat here too frequent) but when we crave a burger, shake, ice cream--- you cant go wrong!!! The service is great, staff has been friendly & the quality of food has been on point! read more

This spot use to be know as kind of a local "grease trap" after going down hill over the years. BUT of late, they have been putting out some great burgers. And their onion rings...FIRE! If you had a bad experience, give it another try. I'd give more stars, but they forgot my bacon twice on my to go order and sometimes it takes a bit of a wait for ur food. read more

Easy, fast, delicious. Great crew working on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, made the experience amazing. Only feedback is more of the row row row the boat song. That was read more

I come down here almost every summer with my best friends and we HAVE to stop here everytime:) the staff is super nice and well trained! They all have such good attitudes and one time we went they were singing out the order numbers through the intercom even when they're busy they have super fast business and is always a great place to get your burgers up in arnold Theyre food is delicious no matter what you order and they have a burger called the garden burger that is 100% vegan! This time around they had a great system with only 2 customers at a time (with mask required and social distancing enforced which is great during this pandemic) read more

Giant Burger - a hand holding a basket of french fries - Burgers Near Me - Arnold, California

Been going here for years. Something changed for the worst recently. The burgers were not only grossly over priced ($7 for a kids burger that was tiny, salted beyond oblivion)- but over cooked, incorrectly done (wrong cheese and no cheese), and gave my wife and I stomach issues. We will not be returning to this once gem of a burger joint in the mountains. Disappointed. read more

We stayed in a cabin near here last weekend. We read that they closed at 7 so we made sure to get there at 6:30. They were already closing and would not serve us. Usually when placing are open until 7 they serve until 7. So we had to leave and go somewhere else. read more

Great customer service! Happy atmosphere and happy employees ! Great prices. Greeted with a smile once my family and so went inside .
