    I think it's called the "Forester" Pizza, or something like that.
    Maria J.

    Service was nice, food was soooo good! Perfect place to stop in for something to eat and some air conditioning after wine tasting on a hot day. It seemed a little pricey to me but you pay for deliciousness and convenience! Would definitely go back for the pizza. The crust was so fresh, the cheese wasn't sparse, and their house made hot honey tasted amazing on top. Yummmm!!!

    Cute boat saying you ate here!

    It's dinky, it's only open on certain days and hours, but it's definitely delicious. I highly recommend that you check this place out and if you can dine there so you can enjoy your meal by the river. The tables are nice and comfortable and you cannot get that view anywhere else. There's so many options to choose from such as chicken and burgers. There's parking right out front on the dirt road. Every time I've been here that people are really nice and the food is brought out in a reasonable amount of time. I recommend you check out this place.

    Yum, Yum, YUMMY!!! I have been driving by Dinky Dinner everyday for a year. I always say to myself, I need to try this cute diner!!! Well, today was the day. The weather was perfect, clear sunny day, boats coasting up and down the river. I yelped Dinky Diner's menu, and their burger's and hot dogs looked really yummy!!! The Clarksburg Burger looked delicious!!! Bacon, cheese, onion rings!!!!! And I ordered a Hot Dog. I ordered the combo for each which means it comes with fries and a soda. After I ordered the food, I walked around to take in the view of the river. What a beautiful view!! They have an eating area with shade canopy's to sit, eat and enjoy the scenery!!! While driving home, I could smell bacon, onion rings, and fries!!! It was very hard to not start eating the hot fries!!!! Once home, I took out the two combo's, the hot dog was filleted and grilled with onions, ketchup, relish, and mustard. I took a huge bit and my taste buds all awoke to enjoy this hot dog. It was delicious, and there was a good amount of French fries!!! I am a fan of hot dogs, and I will say this was a great one!!! I did not order the Clarksburg Burger but I could smell the ingredients. Grilled hamburger, bacon, onion rings, and bbq sauce. I asked how the burger was, he said this is awesome!!! Really good burger!!!!! I will no longer just drive by Dinky Burger!!! I will stop and order a hamburger now!!!!!

    Love it! Retro classic by the river. Great root beer floats, tuna Sandie and fries! Nice views !!! Cute mellow tunes and lit little patio overlooking the river and trees.

    If you find yourself in the Delta looking for delicious, quality food then check out Dinky Diner! I love coming here. It's a little cart where you order and pick up the food. There is plenty of outdoor seating that overlooks the river. The staff is friendly. On weekends there's 2 people but during the week you can find the owner taking orders and cooking the food. The food does take a while but that is because it is made to order. While you're waiting relax and enjoy the beautiful views. Hands down the best onion rings I've ever had!! The batter is crisp to perfection and not overly greasy. The burger tastes fresh and is a good size for the price. **Highly recommend you bring cash as there is a charge for credit cards**

    I've had a lot of meals at this little place on the river. Back when there was very little out here t do for tourists from town, the Dinky Diner was here to feed fisherman and locals in Clarksburg. They're a place to count on for good diner burgers and other sandwiches come lunchtime. Alas, the most recent visit was late on a Sunday. They were still open, but apparently, it had been a busy weekend with all the good weather and air. They had no more burger patties!. Instead, I tried one of their grilled cheese sandwiches. No surprise that these are good, too. Nice, butter- There was ample sunshaded seating and pump bottles of alcohol hand sanitizer.toasted bread and lots of good cheese melted in the middle. So, be warned: if you come too late in the afternoon on a Sunday, they might be out of the ever-popular burgers.

    Best burger and fries I've had in a very long time!. Highly recommend it

BIG sandwich! Delicious & crunchy onion rings. You should get this sandwich! My lady got the Hood Burger add cheddar which she said was cooked perfectly & had a ton of flavor as well. The fries were yummy. We didn't have any cocktails as we had a windy drive home after here but the bartender apparently makes the seasonal cocktail menu & every drink sounded amazing. Beware people run the stop sign outside non stop! So please be careful & stop at the stop sign! This is obviously no fault of the restaurant as they had the same complaint. But do take a lovely drive down to Hood for some killer food in a beautiful restaurant & bar.

I was ready to leave if they said no (completely understand) however, the staff here is absolutely incredible and so kind! She warned us about the wait in the kitchen so I was prepared for the delays due to the busy valentines dinner rush. It took about 25 minutes to get a table (not bad at all). As we waited, we grabbed a drink at the bar... it took the entire 25 minutes to make our drinks. But at least we had our drinks for dinner. Once we ordered our food it took about 45-50 minutes (no problem.. I'm pretty easy going and she warned us) My issue was after patiently waiting for my food, it needed to be returned twice! I rarely return food.. I ordered a chicken club (Chicken Club Sandwich Grilled chicken breast, served on a garlic butter roll with pesto aioli, white cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes Make it crispy) YUM right? No... it's not what I got. I got a chicken sandwich with thousand island dressing (nasty) pickles, BLT. Onion. When I got it the first time, the waiter quickly apologized and took it back to be fixed. Again, the servers are amazing!! Another 15 minutes later (after everyone else half finished eating) I got my new order..... it was the same but on a different bread. I thought I was going crazy and had to look at the menu 20 minutes thinking I messed up... the waitress reassured me that the kitchen messed up again. Our waitress wanted to fix it but I cancelled my order as I was eating everyone else's fries at the table and didn't really want to wait any longer. Oh on top of it, they also served me a rare French fry with my second incorrect meal :(. I do have to say the ranch is delicious and the salmon burger was perfection!!!!! The shrimp scampi could use some more sauce. Otherwise I won't let this stop me from coming back one more time as I'm hoping this was a one off.

    I have read plenty of positive reviews praising their burgers and fries, though surprisingly few…read morerate them a full five stars. It seems like a tough crowd--but after my visit, I can see why expectations run high. My cheeseburger featured high-quality, freshly ground beef that was well-seasoned with a flavorful, salty crust. The patty was tender and juicy, exactly what you want from a handcrafted burger. The brioche bun was nicely toasted, and the cheese melted perfectly over the patties--both essential details that elevate a great cheeseburger. The burger was simply but thoughtfully assembled with shredded lettuce, sliced onion, pickles, and Butcher's aioli. Their house-made sauce added a nice depth of flavor without overpowering the beef. I appreciated how they kept the toppings classic and balanced--fresh, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, red onion, and tangy pickles complement the richness of the patty and sauce beautifully. The fries were just as impressive. They had that ideal contrast: an ultra-crispy, golden-brown exterior with a light, fluffy interior. Perfectly seasoned, pleasantly salty, not greasy, and sturdy enough to hold their shape--they checked all the boxes. Overall, they hit all the key elements of a truly great handcrafted cheeseburger and fries. High marks from me.

Located inside the Sky River Casino, it is one of several restaurants at the food court. Lots of dining tables and pretty clean. There's plenty of parking though sometimes an open spot can be a short walk to the casino. Ordered the Butcher's Burger which is a double burger with thick cut bacon ($14). Also ordered fries ($4). The burger was juicy and good as well as the fries! The patties are thick!! Service is good. Placing and receiving order is quick and efficient. Live close to this casino so will be back soon.

It was a bit thick and asked for a spoon! But I finished it before our burger and onion rings were even ready!

    We stopped at Burgerlicious twice in the last couple of weeks. The first time, the weather was…read moreunseasonably pleasant for December, so we took our burgers down to the river and ate overlooking the water. The burgers were as good as ever. Yesterday was a different thing, though. It was cold outside, so we decided to eat in the dining room. It took FIFTY MINUTES to get our food. The time stamp on my receipt said 6:30pm. At 7:00pm, I went to check on our order and she said it was coming up, but then started to hand me someone else's order. When I told her what we'd ordered, she looked at the order wheel and said, "Oh, yours is next." Then it took another 20 minutes to make two burgers, a side of fries, and a side of onion rings. That's just too long, especially since the dining room was freezing cold, too. We asked if the heat could be bumped up, but she said something like, "Sorry, but they lock it so we can't adjust it." The burgers were good, but it was just too damned cold. We will be back, but not until the weather warms up. Maybe in April or May.

    We came here mid evening on the weekend…read more There was already a few people waiting for their orders but it wasn't crowded at all. We ordered two of the regular fat burgers with all of the toppings and sauces to get the full experience. We also ordered some skinny fries and onion rings. Service was friendly. It did take a little longer than I expected for our order to come out. I would say about 15-20 minutes at least. The restaurant was clean. We brought it home immediately, and I found each of food items to be just barely warm. For the burger, the different toppings were nice to have, but nothing super unique. The bun was probably the most disappointing part was the bun. The bun wasn't really soft, and definitely not warmed up. It would have been nice if the bread was toasted at the very least. The bun itself was also a little dry. The skinny fries had potential to be better. They were mostly soggy and unfortunately not salted enough. The onion rings were not crispy despite the batter appearing to be that way in many pictures. I can't really see myself coming back here.

This place specializes in burgers but also may be jog on buffalo wings. I ordered a burger with onions cheddar, pickles/rekush, mayo, mustard, and an order of skinny fries and a soda (Pepsi products). With the meal deal and tip, cost was about $20. Good burger, huge, hot, flavored like the kind you make at home in a fry pan, eg pepper, salt and possibly garlic powder. Nice huge dense bun, too. Fries were good, also hot. It's a big deal when you eat out and are served hot food. Great meal, huge portion and truly reminded me of a home cooked burger. Friendly professional customer service, quick to order and receive a great meal. Offered me ranch, thousand island dressing for fries, no extra cost. They have cardio, salt and pepper, mints, hand wipes, nice touch along with mints. Two big screen TV's, no blaring way to loud music. I'll try it again in the future. Looks like they have milkshakes including vegan flavors, chicken sandwich, ground turkey burger.

The wall murals inside the restaurant are top tier and gave me a good chuckle. Service was also exceptional - our server was patient while we took our time to order and was very friendly. My brother ordered the jalapeno smash while I got the kid smash as I was not very hungry. The patty is the star here. Perfectly smashed with crispy laced edges that are very well seasoned. The buns are very soft and buttery. I had a bite of the jalapeno smash and wow I would get this next time - the sauce and grilled onions with jalapeno are perfect compliments to the burger. The fries are also super crispy and well seasoned. Very close to my ideal fry (just a bit more seasoning and it'd be perfect!) It was my brother's 2nd time here and the menu has changed since then. He also mentioned the food had a serious upgrade as it was not as good the last time he visited. If it's been a while since you visited Hot Bunz, give it another try!

I'll…read morelook at how long it's been operating and if it's not open for six months or more, I don't go. I'm not the kind to bash a restaurant or any type of business, but I'm gonna give my honest opinion. This place is overhyped due to social media! I wanted to try it out because I seen it on TikTok and the food looked absolutely appetizing. It was a busy Saturday evening around 730pm. I told my kids I wasn't cooking so we were going here because I wanted to try it. They were all for it because who doesn't like a good burger and since smash burgers are the way to go, why not. Upon walking in the paintings on the walls catch your eyes. It's a very casual kind of place. When looking at the menu it's very appealing and makes you want to order the whole menu lol jk. The "combos" aren't really combo meals it's just the burger and the fries, the drink is extra, for X in my book. The young lady at helping me was helpful with the questions I had. We didn't dine it we took our food home, but before we left I took pictures of the way the food looked just in case it didn't look like that when we got home. I got the jalapeño smash, my oldest had the classic combo, and my youngest had the kids combo (which included the drink). The burger IN MY OPINION was under seasoned, the jalapeño were all cut in different thickness, it wasn't something to write home to mom about. Lastly the fries reminded me of Taco Bell fries without the sweetness in the seasoning very underwhelming. Even though this wasn't a good experience for my first visit, I'm willing to go back and try something else other than the burger.
