Great classic all American cheese burger. Not your average beef patty. Great onion rings and shakes. Delicious vanilla bean ice cream. And excellent location. read more

Cute little spot. Food is good and priced reasonably. Will be back the next time we're driving along the Delta.

Good food at reasonable price. Beautiful view of river as you eat Bacon Cheeseburger.

The food at this restaurant is amazing. The hot dogs and burgers are to die for. All real meat, not frozen and cooked on a grill. The prices are the best on the market. Take a scenic drive to see the river and have a bite. It's only a 20 minute drive from outside of West Sacramento. You will not regret it and have a happy, satisfied tummy. read more

Decent burger for the price. 2 Cheese burgers pus sides, fries and onion rings(one side per order) for $21 out the door. Free shaded riverside seating! read more

Amazing food and great service. Better than any fast food joint.

My wife and I and our Golden Retriever stopped in at Dinky Diner today to try out their lunch options. We were greeted by the very friendly owner and our meals were ready quickly. The burger, veggie burger and fries were hot and delicious and our dog enjoyed sharing some vanilla ice cream! We really appreciated the beautiful river view and breeze. It was our first visit to this spot and will be a regular destination for us from now on! read more

The food is your standard burger fair, but it directly overlooks the river.. Amazing. Plus they have a veg burger. There's a brewery and multiple wineries in the immediate proximity. I highly recommend making a stop here read more

Good food, great location on the river. Only has outdoor seating, but it is shaded. I only wish that they would open for dinner. read more

There is no better spot for a burger and fries than the Dinky Diner. Their burgers are excellent and the view is lovely. NO, it is more than that, it is amazing. The river is literally right there! Burgers are fresh, not pre frozen. Fries are fantastic. read more

Great burger and delicious fries! Hubs and I shared a bacon cheeseburger. We asked for the bacon to be crispy and cheese on half the burger. The fella working on Valentine's Day was funny and engaging, really easy going. I think he was the owner, but I could be wrong. He even individually wrapped the halves and labeled them his and hers. :D The burger was tasty. The bacon was crispy without being burnt...awesome job. The meat cooked well without over drying. The fries had a crispiness to them that was delicious and not at all greasy. Our order came out pretty quick. The dining area is outdoors under a canopy. We sat at the counter facing the Delta enjoying our food and the gorgeous view. The diner is on South River Road. Coming from Sacramento, it's on the river side right in the teeny town of Clarksburg. read more

Visited 7/5/13 I went to Dinky Diner with my cousins for the first time on Friday July 5 with my younger sister and cousins. It was just a quick meal before heading over to the Old Sugar Mill. We all wished we could have stayed longer. But first let's talk about what the dinky diner is. It is dinky, but not quite a diner. It is a wood covered food truck parked outside the Clarksburg Marina. If you drive over the speed limit I guarantee you will miss it. Just past the "diner" are picnic tables. and just past the seating area is the parking lot. Because it is built on the top of a levee, there is a great view of the Sacramento River and rose bushes lining the fence. Shade is provided by leafy trees and umbrellas. In terms of food truck atmospheres, it beats the REI parking lot any day. The menu is small. You have a choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, veggie burger, hotdog, fries, and canned drinks. But they make simple food great. And for under $5 an item, I can't complain. The service was great. They seem to be family run, and most of the other patrons knew all of the staff. They were so friendly I felt I was a regular! The only downside is they have such short hours. read more

The hubby wanted to visit some wineries in the Clarksburg area and after getting genuinely lost, he remembered the Dinky Diner was up the road and headed there. The diner is a converted trailer - it could be one of the original food trucks except it's stationary. With classic 80-90's rock music playing, a very nice open air dining area next to it with a gorgeous view of the delta, the vibe is friendly and inviting. You walk up to the window and place your order with a super nice crew member - the menu is basic items: hamburger, hotdog, fries, onion rings along with canned drinks or milkshakes. You can add pretty much anything onto these items for a small charge. We ordered two cheeseburgers and an order of large fries to share. When we received our order, the burgers are delicious. Very hot and fresh. The burger is cooked well and has a rich, meaty flavor that is seasoned perfectly. We added grilled onions and it tasted like an In-N-Out Burger only 100 times better. The fries are coated to be extra crispy and flavorful - I have no idea what it is but they are irresistible. We ate every morsel and we were nice and full. I am so glad we pulled off to the side of the road to nourish ourselves here. When we get to Bogle, we'll be making our stop at the Dinky Diner for a bite to eat! Yummy! read more

Cute little spot on the river. Don't let the size fool you, the food is good. We had a hamburger which was juicy and delicious; a tuna melt that was done just right; corn dog (you get 2); fries were crispy and tender with just the right seasoning and onion rings that were crisp and you can bite through the onion rather than pull it out. read more

Plenty of food for the 3 of us.. burgers, basket of fries and a milkshake. Delicious!!

Funky place on the levy. Basically a food truck but some of the best burgers you're going to find. Simple and unpretentious the way burgers should be most of the time. Great meat fried on griddle; crisp outside and juicy . Dressed with the basics: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo on a simple bun. You sit next to the river, relaxing and rustic. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to put these in your mouth! read more

This is a fun little road side snack bar / diner. It is a great place to stop by while taking a drive along the River. It was a little pricey for what you get but it was a good place just to take a break and get a snack. We got a root beer float and a hot dog. Neither one were anything special, but being able to eat outside near the River made it worthwhile. And eating in the little picnic table boat was fun too. read more

So good and affordable! The outdoor dining is dreamy as is the view. Very friendly and even had a water bowl for my dog! Can't wait to go back read more

Love the outdoor sitting area. Right next to the river, surrounded by beautiful rose bushes. French fries were amazingly good. Cheeseburger was good. It will be better if owner uses a different buns... Owner is super friendly. Will definitely come back when in the area... read more

Wanted to come for lunch with my boyfriend, and we made sure to be there well before they closed. But we were very rudely barked at that they were supposed to be closed an hour before. I also saw whoever was working the register be really unpleasant to the customer in front of me while she was trying to double check her order. Customer service gets a no go from me. Probably won't be back to try the food. read more

I can't believe I spent over 7 dollars for a hot dog, small Fri & a water!! At the place like this that is kinda outrageous. I feel like this place is wayyyy overpriced. The fris taste like they were fried in old grease, and the hot dog well... Nothing to shout about. I checked this place out because it had alot of good reviews and it's only about 15 minutes away and a nice drive along the delta, but I will not be back. read more

Great place right along the river in Clarksburg. I had the cheeseburger and fries. The burger was big, juicy and done to perfection. The bun was fresh and soft. The fries were crunchy and delicious. The portions were very generous for both. Add in the covered outdoor tables overlooking the river and it was a great lunch! read more

Great little lunch spot with a view! You can sit facing the river while you chow down on some tasty food. They're well priced, have a shade cover which makes the summer sun feel mild, and are located walking distance from wine tasting and a place to dock your boat. Such a wonderful small town business with charm and really yummy American food. read more

Had a great burger at the Dinky Diner and enjoyed the lovely view of the Sacramento River. Such a peaceful place to enjoy lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We'll be back! read more

Me and my wife came here the other day. The weather was nice out and we wanted to go somewhere with a view. This place is great, we both got a cheeseburger and fries and sat on there patio facing the river. It was so relaxing and beautiful outside so made the food way better lol. If u ever want to eat somewhere with a nice relaxing river view and a good burger and it will be a nice drive down river rd, come here to dinky diner. read more

When I initially heard about Dinky Diner, it was on a publication that listed cool spots near the river to eat at. At that point, I knew I had to try it! I live in Sacramento, but the drive was only 25 minutes, which included a scenic river route on the levy road. Let's just say the Dinky Diner is even cuter than it's name! I ordered a Clarksburg w/cheese, onion rings, and a Coke. We arrived around 11(They open at 11), and there was already a young couple sitting enjoying each others company and the beautiful river view. A nice gentleman took our order and we then proceeded to select a place to sit! There were several options but we ended up choosing to sit on the long skinny bench/table that overlooks the river. While we waited we even saw a sea lion playing. Pretty cool, huh! The only thing I wasn't fond of was the rock music but it was okay. The food was done in about 20 minutes. The tomato was very red and all the ingredients were very fresh. I could tell the cheeseburger was cooked to order as was the onion rings. I didn't receive any ranch to dip them in but they were still very tasty. If you bring the kids, they can eat in the boat picnic table and pose for a cute photo. Lots of photo ops available for all my picture people! If you live in or near the area, this should be on everyone's list of places to eat at! After your visit take a Lil scenic road trip around the river to the other side. There's cute Lil general stores and the smallest post office I've ever seen! read more

Love this place, super friendly owners and staff, good food, nice place to sit and watch the river.

A little pricey but the food was good and you can't beat the view. And super covenient, just a few minutes' drive from Sugar Mill. Needed some food to soak up all that wine! read more

The name absolutely does not do this place justice! Located on the levee in Clarksburg is a little trailer filled with delicious diner foods! You order and eat outside with a view of a marina and the beautiful picturesque river. No where in Sac can you get such quality burgers, sandwiches fries and rings at such a reasonable price with that view! It was seriously good with handmade burgers on delicious rolls, cheddar cheese! Yum! Their onion rings were seriously on point! It is a fun venue with great food! read more

The drive to Carlsburg is beautiful and a stop at the diner was worth while. I ordered the #2-cheeseburger w/fries and soda. I got a milkshake instead of soda and enjoyed it thoroughly along w/the great outdoor scene and weather of the delta. A must try! read more

DD serves a very good hamburger, crisp fries, battered onion rings, and other good stuff. If you're driving by their out-of-the-way location, it's an excellent stop for lunch. The setting is outstanding with the shaded outside dining area with tables and counter overlooking the Sac River. With the combination of good food, great location, and friendly service, DD hits a homerun!! If you do the Sugar Mill and Bogle Winery, do Dinky Diner too! read more

This place is amazing- when they are open. I've gone several times during their very limited hours to find the place shut tight. It seems like anything from rain to a game to gorgeous weather prevents the owners from operating on a given day. What's the point of even having a restaurant if you never open it?! read more

Amazingly delicious food. Ordered the hamburger, polish hotdog, fries & onion rings. OMG! So yummy. The onion rings were cooked perfectly, nothing was over greasy and the best part.... Customer services was on point. Definitely recommend stopping by if you crave delicious burger/fries with a fantastic sac river view. read more
