Gold Rush Burgers has sadly sold. Happily the new owners, MoMo's, have continued with the same, great burgers & quality food.

New name, same friendly staff. Great food. Ordered a double burger and was pleased to learn they have a cheddar, blue cheese and pepperjack as options in addition to American cheese. They let me sub a large chocolate malt for the small combo drink. Decided to go with fries this evening. read more

Easy stop off Highway 5 in Yreka. We stopped in on our way back from Oregon. Retro 50's diner vibe, with lots of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean & Elvis pictures. Plus some funny memes and sayings posted on the walls. Service was good and it looked to be run by two women. One at the counter and one in the kitchen. (At least what we saw) We ordered the Avocado bacon cheeseburger with tater tots. Also the Miner special (double cheeseburger with fried onion rings and barbecue sauce ) with french fries and a Butterfinger milkshake. Tater tots were delicious, hot and crispy. Burgers were good. Each patty was pretty thin so if you like a meaty burger, then order a double or triple. Shake was creamy and yummy too. There's also a patio area, however we ate inside. Bathrooms are outside so ask for the key. read more

Just had double pattie burger w/cheese n it was perfect. Will be back for more...thanks

We were in town for business and needed a quick lunch. The location is a flash from the past. Our server took our order at the front counter. She was so fun! The dining area was clean and comfortable. We ordered two burgers and fries. My husband had his own and my daughter and I shared a cheese burger. They brought out our food fast! My burger was cut in half and we were given our own fries in our baskets. I really appreciated that. We don't eat a full burger. The meat was delicious. The fries were THE BEST!!!! They have those really puffy, meaty, fries with a crispy outside. I was in heaven. I would definitely recommend this location for a great meal at a very affordable price. A++++++ read more

Best burgers in town, probably in the county. Reasonable prices too. I strongly recommend this place

We needed some food on a road trip and the place needed to be dog friendly. We did not want to end up doing fast food and eating in the car - we needed a break Other issue is some restaurants are too far off the highway which then makes a long day even longer This place has an enclosed patio which was perfect! Tables with umbrellas provided some shade. I went in to ask if it was ok to sit out there with our dog - I couldn't figure out how to open the gate - the latch was kind of hidden. A woman showed me where it was and opened it for me. I went in and ordered- burgers and a fries and a drink - they have canned soda and fountain soda and I got a cup for just water Person working the counter was friendly. We got an order of fries to share - the fries are huge. Ours were very tasty and not greasy Our burgers were good and we both enjoyed them Yes the owner is a character and opinionated - but our country thrives on diversity of interest and opinion. I would stop here again if I was passing through and needed food. read more

I ordered a double cheeseburger meal. It was really good. Finished it with an oreo shake. Will be back when in town.

Awful!! If I could i wouldn't give this place any stars. My 16 year old (straight) son was in this place to eat with his friend about a week ago , an employee who I'm assuming is the owner told my son as he was ordering how he looked like a "gay boy" because of his pooka shell necklace and his Croc shoes. She then told him "the menu is up here fagot". My son didn't know how to respond or how to act. He called me as soon as he got home and told me how he was talked to and how she talked bad about his friend's dad whom she thought was Hispanic. This behavior has been going on for years. Its sickening!!! Seriously grow up as a grown woman. Who talks to a child this way? read more

Loved the atmosphere. The young lady at the front desk made me laugh. I have a feeling she's all bark for fun. And my dog got spoiled!

Walked in and walked out. Lady at front was helping an old guy probabaly in his 80s, and was super rude about him not being able to see that it comes with fries on the sign. She even repeateded with her rude attitude and comment 2 other times after. I also noticed that once the lady gave the girl in the back the food ticket, she got up from where she was sitting (probably on her phone) and pull down her shorts as it was probably riding up her ass, didnt wash her hands, wasnt wearing gloves, and grabbed the frozen beef patties out of the cooler with her bare hands and then decided to grab the burger buns right after with ground beef hands while that was happening, we asked to use the restroom, and the snippy lady running the orders said "ya, only for paying customers". I had a chat with my mom right outside with the key in hand and didnt feel the bit comfortable to eat anything from there and stay. Returned the key and booked it. The Health department needs to pay a visit read more

Great burgers in a fun, quirky, and classy diner setting! The owner is a cool, one-of-a-kind lady and adds a hefty helping of personality to the place. Would come again for the food and experience! read more

Burgers are awesome best burgers in town Services it's great good old-fashioned Burger

The previous review I posted (praising their excellent food) was from 3 years ago, and I continue to be impressed by the quality of service. The meal I ordered was a Jalapeno Burger with Fries, cooked to perfection, and the flavors were exceptional. I make it a point to return (whenever possible) to show my support for the owner, Debbie, her dedicated staff, and the Gold Rush Burger establishment itself. I must commend Debbie for her unwavering dedication to excellence. My support remains unwavering. I particularly appreciate the clever humor displayed on the walls of the establishment, which never fails to bring a smile. The employees, under Debbie's leadership, consistently demonstrate respect and a commitment to excellence in their work. I will definitely be returning for more. Exceptional work. read more

Good old drive in style food and shakes. Just wish I could afford it $24 and change for burger fries and small shake! McDonald's Big Mac meal $9 and change. Gold rush prices are outrageous! I'm done. read more

I've only been here once for takeout but the food was very good. Our burgers were cooked well and the onion rings were great.

I love a good hometown burger joint. This place hit the spot! My burger & onion rings were amazing & i love the all the signs on the walls. Great place read more

This place is NOT family friendly. A weird crazy lady got in arguments with customers while we were there and was aggressively yelling at everyone. She yelled at our table (which included two children) before slamming our food down. The food was okay but overpriced. The bathroom was dirty. The restaurant was dirty, cluttered and outdated. I highly recommend skipping this place. read more

Come for a great burger and stay for the amazing abuse! The owner, Debbie Rush, is a loud mouth, sarcastic brat who gives all her customers a hard time. I LOVE HER!!! I honestly can't decide if I loved the food better than the entertainment or vice versa. She's witty, crass, and runs one hell of a burger joint. She's got all the classics a drive in would offer: big burgers and tons of options, shakes, onion rings, etc. All kidding aside, if her food actually sucked I would still give 5 stars and eat here purely for the entertainment value. In this PC BS world we live in her attitude and feistiness is worth every put down, insult and humiliation she throws your way. When, not if, she throws shit your way be prepared to throw it back at her! Yeah, she may be preparing your food and all but if you cower and hide in your shell you're not getting the full experience...Be warned! read more

Amazing burgers! Road construction has hours a little off some days so call before when closer to closing before going but the quality is always top notch read more

I ordered the bacon bleu, with a side of fries. The burger was good, not great, but definitely better than any fast food restaurant in town. Premade frozen burger patties (likely off a U.S. Foods truck), your typical sesame seed bun, fresh condiments. Just imagine a decent burger at a summer cookout! Honestly this burger gets 4 stars just for the perfectly cooked bacon and awesome bleu cheese. The portions of fries are large, very hot, and go well with their fry sauce. If this place had fresh ground beef and local burger buns, they'd be unstoppable. Staff was warm, friendly, and runs a clean shop. Don't be intimidated by the political banners above the entrance. read more

We love to stop here when traveling from Nevada to Oregon and back. Burgers are always cooked perfectly. The service is great. We love to banter with the owner as she isn't "woke". read more

Great little spot to stop for lunch or snack. The burgers and fish and chips were good. Clean and convenient. Walk up to order and there is a small indoor area on the side of the building with tables. read more

The owner made my granddaughter cry. She accidentally attempted to use the wrong door to enter. After which the owner berated her.

Fantastic! Do not let the grouchy never Trumper's sway you who left bad reviews. This place is awesome!!! Husband had a burger and I had their grilled Turkey & bacon. Nice bread and I did notice gluten free options as well as keto friendly. Both our meals were Incredible. Fries were perfect and home made tarter sauce and fresh brewed ice tea. Absolutely stop here!! The owner is a character and if you can't handle a little spunk there is a Starbucks up the road ya sissy. read more

Absolutely disgusting food, terrible service, filthy environment, long wait times. Found a hair in my burger, the fries were cold and it was just the ends at the bottom, the drink was covered with dust. Makes me sick just thinking about it. I'd highly recommend going somewhere else. This place is beyond disgusting. read more

Owner is abusive and judgmental towards staff and guests. Food is soggy and dripping in grease!

I got the avocado bacon burger They didn't use avocado slices For what I paid you expect they would Would not recommend read more

Great burgers and fries! Just wish they were open later at night. I'll have to include pictures next time I eat there for reference.

I love this place! Always clean , and wonderful friendly service. Wonderful to go in and see the staff's smiling faces. Yesterday the girl at the counter noticed I had a dog in the truck and sent me with a biscuit to give her.:) Fantastic burger and milkshake- Thanks! read more

We were in town for a couple of weeks on the Happy Camp fire. Most of our crew visited this place and raved about it. We have it a try. Service was outstanding. Very attentive. Food was outstanding. I recommend the jalapeño burger and add bacon. Should I come back through Yreka, I'll be stopping by. read more

Drove All the way from Florence OR then stopped there to eat. Burger was decent, salad was mediocre. I only nice thing about it was the cashier. But really what made it one star was the owner was a complete A**hole. Didn't make me feel welcome at all whatsoever. Complained to me about have two of their FREE suckers out of their candy bucket. And her overall bitchy attitude Towards me. I will NEVER eat there again, Id rather be at a McDonald's. read more

Ive lived in town for about 8 months. I've seen this place several times as I drive up and down main Street. I shop locally when ever I can and like to give my business to non-chain operations when ever possible. However, I wasn't overly impressed with this establishment or the food or the prices. The burger was fine, as were the fries. But the prices were a little steep. The food was better than fast food, but for the same price in town I could eat at an establishment where there are servers. I won't be coming back. read more

I loved this place until I witnessed an employee run his fingers through HIS hair. I witnessed the sweat flying off his head. He then handled hamburger buns. He never washed his hands We left and have never been back. That was 2 years ago. If I could give this joint minus points, I would. read more

Excellent burgers and shakes, and hilarious service. Debbie Rush, the owner, is a sassy and funny kinda gal. If you're looking for a boring burger and soggy fries to eat while sitting in silence in a dark corner somewhere, you're in the wrong place. If you don't have a sense of humor, and can't take the heat, get the hell out of her kitchen! read more

My Husband & I are super chill. I do happen to be 1/2 Chinese & Owner Chica was in house & went on an extremely long, loud; diatribe about her thoughts & her life. Burger 8 will never& my friends will never step in that racist place again. read more

Was passing through town and stopped in for a bite and I'm glad I did. The place was pretty vintage with lots of old decorations on the wall. Thought that was pretty cool. The staff was awesome!! The girl that took my order was very nice and helpful. Some of the locals came in and was messing around with the girls. It was like being in someone's home for dinner. Very homey vibe that I liked. Got the bacon burger with fries. She even got some fry sauce for me that I enjoyed as well. If I'm ever in that town again, I wouldn't mind dropping in again. Maybe get a milkshake next time because they looked pretty good. read more

Upon entering there was an absolute unbearable smell. Smelled like old mop water. Ordered my cheeseburger & fries. Burger was nice sized. Taste was meh! Better than fast food, but nothing special. The fries were crispy, but tasted bland. I would say it's worth a visit, but eat outside. read more
