Late in the evening, it wasn’t too busy. It’s a small shop, with tight seating. The table wasn’t wiped down very well. Service was fine. Food was not great. The burger patties are pressed soo thin, they’re burnt and dry. I prefer a juicy burger, and that was not it. The shakes were actually really good, I’d go back for those alone. Any and every extra thing costs. Even the fry sauce, of which they give a tiny little cup. Only available condiment is ketchup, and our table didn’t even have a bottle. The drinks were good, nice root beer and decent lemonade. Fries were actually decent but I’ve had better. The history is cool tho!

I don’t often give a lot of reviews, and I don’t mean to criticize.
However, I saw the reviews and I love things nostalgic, as such I was compelled to pay a visit.
On the positive side, I do think it’s a very cute place, it certainly falls into the nostalgic category.
The staff was friendly and the food arrived quickly.
I ordered the Double Damn Burger (with cheese) and order of fries, and a chocolate peanut butter shake.
Shake was great
Fries were great
Fry sauce was great
At the risk of sounding picky (and I’m simply trying to offer constructive criticism), but as I was halfway finished with the burger, I thought to myself there’s no cheese on this burger.
I pointed this out to the gal, and a moment later she came back and asked if I would double check “between the patties” and sure enough there was in fact cheese present.
I would like to respectfully point out is that if I cannot taste (or see) the cheese, there’s a two-fold problem;
1) the patties are already somewhat small, and the fact that the cheese was fitting in the middle of it (without even being exposed) on the edges, demonstrates that a very small amount of cheese is being used.
2) The other issue is that there was too much mustard placed on the burger, which of course will easily kill the taste of all of the other flavors, if applied too heavily…
I do in fact like mustard, however there was too much mustard on this occasion, and obviously someone gave it too much of a squirt..
So if the staff is reading this tonight and wonder why I didn’t leave a tip, here’s your explanation, along with some constructive criticism I believe (e.g. If you’re going to add a dollar for cheese it sure as well ought to be enough that you can see it over the edges of the patty), and watch your mustard application we all know that that will override any other flavors…
Respectfully, Dan

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.

Love the simplicity of this place. They have burgers, fries, shakes, and drinks, all done really well. The star is the smash burgers the create. Knowing their craft and not changing, the thin patties with wonderfully crisp and tasty edges highlight the meal. Accompany the burger with shoestring fries that were hot, crispy, and salted perfectly made a supremely satisfying meal. If you have room, and I did, top off the meal with one of their shakes. They are more than willing to customize your shake flavor. My go to is a pineapple-orange creamsicle shake. Service was fast and friendly. Will return and recommend it to anyone.

Don’t waste your $$ on the puppy (dog) patty, it was quite small, and falling apart (see pic!!), I was charged $2.55 for this. There’s another place down the road that gives decent puppy patties for less than HALF that, and they are fresh made. I always prefer to patronize small businesses, and find they’re usually much better than the fast food chain places, disappointed this is definitely not the case here!! I’ve been really looking forward to trying Dam Burgers, especially with the fun, local History. The service was okay, and quick. The Burger was nothing to write home about, and NOTHING stood out about it, not flavor, ingredients, nor price. The fries were the typical skinny (think frozen) type, but they did give a generous amount that I felt was consistent with the price point, however, they charge if you want fry sauce, you don’t even get one with your order. As far as ambience, I always enjoy the small down home Cafe, this does offer that, with its dated interior and small seating capacity. Located in a busy downtown area with paid parking, it was easy to find parking.

This place should be nationally recognized for smash burger excellence. It has become my go to since moving to Redding.
The burgers are perfect every time, the lacing on the edges is a thing to behold. Yet they are still juicy and tender. The fries are golden brown crisp and hot every time.
Get a chocolate malt and dip the fries in it, you will then be having a fantastic day.
The staff is amazing and will let you customize to your heart’s content
Fun welcoming and chill atmosphere with good outdoor seating options.

If you’re passing through Redding, this is a perfect pit stop. Great burgers and friendly service. Still feels genuine after all these years.
The patties are flattened in a tortilla press, creating ‘beef crystals’ on the edges Awesome.

Best burgers in the area! I love the plain burger with the works. So good. Service is top notch! I usually eat out side. Nice patio heat for cooler days and misters for warmer days. This is a must if you are even remotely close and like burgers!
