The hamburger was good but the service at the register was really bad , so bad .. I will not likely be going back . The employee behind the counter was rude and very loud . She did not get my order correct , when I told her it was not correct she said she got my order right and that I was wrong . I did not receive a receipt .. I ordered 2 meals but she charged me separately for everything instead of the meal price . It is my fault I did not demand a receipt. Make sure you Get a receipt for your order !! read more

Bartels Giant Burger - Burgers Near Me - Redding, California

Bartels giant burger has delicious burgers and milkshakes! You can order your burger medium rare if you want to as well! I would say it is easily one of the best burger places in Redding. read more

Fantastic! Reasonably priced! I'm not a fan of thousand island, which the fry sauce looks like. I was pleasantly surprised. Very good! I prefer an independent over chain, any day. If you're on the freeway or other side of town, giddy on up over here. Don't expect fancy. I sat outside and never sat at a more comfortable table at a fast food joint. I had a regular size double cheese with bacon. I can tell that everything was locally sourced. Likely antibiotic free. I come through Redding every couple of years. My wife is going to love this place. Thank you for the tasty eats! Rock on! Please make lotsa burgers and money!! read more

Excellent old school burger joint. Loved the burgers, they knocked it out of the park. The fries came out hot and crispy. Will be back!

They are expensive! It cost 80$! To feed my family noway a normal burger place is 30 40 at the most 80 is ridiculous

This place has been a family favorite for decades! Bartel's serves up made-to-order burgers that are huge, juicy, and packed with flavor...you absolutely will not leave hungry. The ingredients are always fresh, and the quality is truly top shelf. As a mom-and-pop spot, their service is exceptional, and you get that genuine family feel the moment you walk in. If you're passing through Redding or even if you're a local like myself, and you're craving fresh ingredients, quality meat, and friendly service, I 10/10 recommend stopping at Bartel's! read more

On a long drive from Washington state, back to the South Bay area of California needed a good burger and found bartell's. Not only were they pleasant but the food was delicious. The burger was insanely good read more

I've been there around 12 times and 8 times they messed up my order. They just don't listen. I just can't go back again. It's like being served by prison staff. If I ask for no onion, they give extra. The last time I went there this is what my no onion burger looked like. She also didn't call my name, just tossed it on the table. 1 read more

Excellent hamburgers. Taste like the good old days. Prices were great. Better be hungry when you order fries!

The burgers are delicious and the portions of fries are huge! The service is quick and you can watch them make your food. There's not much seating and if you're a large party you'd have to eat outside. We don't mind taking it home tho. The food is still just as good! read more

Lovely little local place, food is great, people are great. Highly recommend for the reasonable prices, delicious burgers and lovely staff.

Bartel's Burgers located here in Redding at Lake Blvd (the 299) and Hilltop Drive. This is an easy location to get to, just look for the burger shack building, can't miss it. Plenty of parking available here. If you're looking for an old school traditional burger style that hasn't changed since the 70's, this is the place. You order the fries separate from the burger. They come west coast style, meaning with lettuce, tomato and onion, mustard and mayo. You gotta tell em if you don't want lettuce or mustard or something. Back East, I hear you gotta tell the cook what you want on the burger or you get just a bun and meat! So, no, don't expect grass fed, hormone free fancy beef here, it's just a burger and no huge 1/2 pound patties either. Remember when 1/4 lb was a "Giant" burger? The menu is small and includes burgers, fries and shakes along with sodas. The prices don't seem too bad, but adding a Giant Burger with cheese, fries and a drink you're looking at $10 bucks for lunch. If you want a shake a med shake is almost $ bucks with tax. This is still cheaper than Five Guy's Burgers! I went for the Giant Burger with cheese and fries. It does taste like an old school burger, more emphasis on the total balanced burger taste experience with the lettuce and tomato working with the meat, mayo and mustard. This is opposed to a more meat centered experience like you get with a big 1/2 pound charbroiled beef patty with some artisan bun and whole grain mustard with a tomato mayo aioli (1000 island HA!) and duck fat fried fries for $18 or so. The fries here were decent just regular fries. I just wish the buns weren't so squishy! The service was friendly, but not in a fake In N Out way. I'd come back here if it was passing along the 299 in this area. I say give Bartel's a try. If they've lasted as long as they have, they must be doing something right. read more

My wife and I stopped by our go to place for a burger which we have been patrons since we were kids! I ordered her burger medium and mine medium rare. We received our burgers as we were eating there and very over cooked, in which mine was cut in half probably due to see how the cook was and we didn't have time to send back as no one ever checked to see how everything was. Worst burgers we have ever had there and was very disappointed! Sincerely hope better cooks are hired and know how to cook the burgers as ordered. read more

I wanted a great meaty burger on my way home from camping in the Redding area back to Sacramento. I stopped here but it was not the place. Although the burger size is very decent the patty was very thin. The service was great, actually the service was better than the burger! read more

On our drive to Oregon we stopped for lunch in Redding, Ca and found Bartel'S family owned Giant Burger cafe ~ and what a GREAT LUNCH we had! A humble building, it has a few indoor tables and some outdoor picnic benches for people to sit at. I ordered the Giant Burger with everything, my husband ordered the Garden burger with everything, and we ordered a chocolate and a vanilla MALT, and fries, and oh my gosh everything was cooked to perfection and was delicious! Fresh everything! looks like the family still runs the place, and they are efficient, careful with taking your order, and hospitable. I hope our journeys take us past Redding again ~ If you are traveling up or down Highway 5, make the time to stop here. You'll be glad you did! read more

Maybe the best decision you'll make today. Life is hard. Barrels makes it easier. 2020 is not a year for fast food. Take a load off and enjoy deliciousness that does not come out of a drive through window. Giant double with cheddar and grilled onions Cooked to order medium rare Outstanding! Exactly what I would expect from this burger joint. This is no fancy, gourmet burger or even what you grill in the backyard. It's something that only comes from a shack on the side of the road with a line out the door because the people know. Friendly service inside to order or you can call it in A few picnic tables outside or take it home and enjoy. Looking forward to my next bite Oh, and did I mention their awesome fry sauce? I did now. read more

Very good burger and fries. Fast service, a little short on the patience level for a first timer to the place but not a huge deal. Place was pretty unclean looking but we backpack and eat dirt and bugs so it wasn't that off putting. Probably go again. read more

This burger spot is located right next to the street. I visited for lunch on a short work trip into Redding with my coworker. The visit was pre covid. We were greeted and seated by the staff at the counter. We glanced over the ultra simple menu. We ordered separately. I ordered a simple cheese burger with fries and a soda. Our orders didn't take long. Burger was hot from the grill. Ultra simple cheese burger with warm buns crisp lettuce tomato onion and slice of cheese. Burger itself was cooked on point. Seasoned French fries were hot from the deep fryer. Bill and meal was settled at a reasonable time. Good fast simple burger. Bad nothing. Overall simple and filling. No complaints. I would stop in if I venture through. read more
