Outside area and iconic Damburger sign
Sim B.

I have been coming to Damburger since I was a child -- probably about 20 years -- and I have to say, I can never get enough of it! Damburger is an institution in Redding, CA. It dates back to 1938 and has been serving up the best burgers since Shasta Dam began its construction, hence the name. The inside probably hasn't changed in just about as long, and has a comforting old school burger joint/diner kind of vibe. My favorite place to sit is right at the counter where you can see all the action and chat with the owners who are often around. In my opinion its simple yet addictive thin patty burgers rival even In N Out. I always get a single dam with "The Works" and it never disappoints. Flavorful, crispy, quality, iconic. Damburger is one of the most consistent restaurants around, and personally I love that the menu never really changes. I pair the single dam with some fries, sriracha sauce, and if I'm really feeling crazy -- a malted vanilla milkshake, which is my dad's favorite. Even though I don't live in Redding, I make it a point to come to Dambuger at least once, but usually twice, in every trip. If you're visiting, this is a MUST go, can't skip restaurant. And if you're a local and you haven't been yet... well what are you waiting for???

Double Damburger

I visited here on 6/3/25, the burgers are great and the prices weren't bad either. The fries are great and the service is friendly. I'd definitely recommend. They were busy too so you know it's good!

This is what delicious looks like. Hamburgers come out of the kitchen so hot you can warm your hands on them.

Sometimes, a double dam with bacon is just what you need. The made-to-order burgers come out of the kitchen so fast they warm your hands even before the first bite!

Hotdog !! Fantastic

You gotta love this place- The service is excellent, never had a bad meal, and it fits the bill for a great hamburger place or hotdog. Counter top dining or you can go out to the patio. Fries and shakes are exceptional. The staff keeps this place spic and span

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.

The soda fountain and old fashioned menu.

We love this place. It was our first time here, we were just traveling through. It is such a cute place, it reminds me of old burger places back in the day (80's). The burger wasn't greasy, it had a great flavour, even the original (1/6 lb) was plenty for me. My husband ordered the double and that was enough meat for him. The four of us loved the French fries so much, we got another order to share. The service was fast. We only sat at a table for about 2 minutes and someone came by to take our order. Then about a minute later, another person asked us if we would like to order. They are friendly here and the place is very clean. We enjoy a burger night a few times a month during warm weather. This is a place we will return to any time we are in the area! Give it a try, it's like being transported back in time minus the old arcade games.

I always like to find mom an pop burger places rather than the big chains, tho I still love In N Out! Damburger is a place to stop if you're in Redding often like I am. Service is friendly and the food comes out without a long wait. Outdoor dining is available if the weather is nice. I was here with a friend and we both got burgers and shared a order of fries. The food was hot and tasty. Sure, there's a lot of burger places around , but Damburger is one of the better ones. The prices aren't rock bottom, but the food isn't either. Check this place out.

Dope little breakfast diner with friendly service and solid food. We got both the norcal burrito…read moreand the breakfast tacos. The burrito was solid, but I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the breakfast tacos. Those were hella bomb. We also go the panko french toast, which I thought was decent. It was nothing special, just your standard french toast with panko breading, but still yummy. We went here on a Sunday morning around 1030ish and while it was a bit busy, definitely wasn't overcrowded and they had no problem with seating us promptly. There's plenty of parking as well, so that wasn't an issue. I'll definitely plan on coming back if I'm ever in the Redding area and wanting breakfast/brunch.

An egg omelette filled with meat, veggies and cheese, served with cottage potatoes and a biscuit bigger than a man's fist and their homemade jelly. My son had the Mt Shasta. A generous serving of scrambled eggs, mixed with ham, potatoes and cheese. Served with a pancake that was as big as a plate. He's a 17 year old and a big eater and could not finishe the whole thing. I had the Cortez with steak. Basically a bowl full of eggs mixed with corn tortillas (or Texas Migas) added steak that was amazingly tenders If you're in Redding this is the breakfast spot! We're talking about goi g back to try their burger!

By far the best restaurant I've been at sense moving to Redding. Thank you for the amazing meal.read more

We were strolling on Yelp to find a place to grab dinner while staying in Redding for a day. We…read morestumbled on this place. Looked through their menu online and decided to give them a try. Located in the Placer Heights Plaza, next to Starbucks. Same plaza as Holiday Market and CVS Pharmacy. We were seated immediately as they were not busy. The menu was a bit different than online. Our server came to take our order. He didn't introduce himself and seemed like he didn't want to be there. We decided on the fried green tomatoes, fried chicken sandwich and catfish po' boy. When the po' boy came out, we thought it was burnt! We didn't know the catfish will be blackened by default. We thought it will be fried since it is a po' boy. The options can be blackened or fried based on the menu online. We were not given those options by our server. They brought out the food but didnt provide utensils until minutes later. Fried green tomatoes: It was good. Fried perfectly. The dressing that was tossed with the side salad was super salty. Catfish po' boy: Fish was tender but super salty as well. Fried chicken sandwich: Pretty good sandwich. Chicken was huge. The fries was so soggy, not crispy at all. Also very greasy. We were a bit disappointed as we drove out of our way to try this place. Nice ambiance though. I felt I was a bit underdressed lol
