Cheese burger and fries
Jane A.

My husband and were in town to visit our granddaughter! We saw this place and had to stop! My cheese burger was good, but I'm allergic to mayonnaise! I mentioned it when I ordered, so hopefully I won't get sick from it! My husband loved the pastrami burger and we shared the fries! He says the root beer is excellent! I like the chocolate shake

Super polish dog

Stopped her after watching a softball game. The drive thru wait is quite long. Kids working inside were very polite and apologetic for the wait which is something rare these days. My boys got a bacon burger and the dude burger...both said they were really good and weren't too much. I got the super polish which was amazing! The bun split in half, typical, but the dog itself was so good and juicy! And their lavender lemonade was great!

Order indoor and stay warm!
Heath S.

Drive Thru line was poppin so we walked in to order. There's an outside window as well as a window inside so choose your poison. They have about 8 tables inside with a 60s Red Burger decor which makes since because they've been flipping burgers since 1965! I was able to order within a few minutes and the prices was very reasonable considering the fresh and ample ingredients (not fast food). I got a couple Big Dude's and a Deluxe Burger all with Pepper Jack cheese along with large fries, large coke, and a large buttermilk shake. Big Dude Burger: 6 - Burger Pattie's were way overcooked and didn't have any crust like a smash burger usually has. Also, the burger needed more lettuce, the rest of the produce was perfectly balanced to include the condiments. Deluxe Burger: 5 - Burger party didn't fit the bun and just like the Big Dude, burger was over cooked and Dude, where's the lettuce? Fries: 6 - Well cooked and perfectly seasoned with salt. Fries could have been crispier, I'm not a big fan of the small cut fries and finally, the large fries were so small for a family run joint. Butterscotch Shake: 9 - Thick shake with fantastic butterscotch flavor without being over sweet. The straw was so small that I had to swap it out. Good stuff! Cool spot to get a burger if you're driving by but I can't recommend driving TO this place unless you're craving a milkshake. I don't know if there's a lettuce shortage or not, but Dude...gimme some greens! If I happen to be by again I'll ask for the burger to be less cooked and see if they're more generous with the lettuce Could have just been am oversight. When I verified that my fries were in fact a large, a worker met me at my car as I was pulling out and just gave me another one. How cool is that? I hope to give them another shot someday.

I think this picture speaks for itself... Dude's has INSANE burgers. You definitely need to try 'em out!

Bacon Burger
Briana V.

So dang good ! Best burgers in Redding in my opinion. The quality was fresh and sauce on the side was super tasty. The service was also friendly and quick . I got a cheeseburger with onions and a side of onion rings. Let me tell you about the onion rings , some of the softest crispy onion rings that I have ever tried . THE BEST!

Chili Cheese Fries
Steven S.

My dining experience was a joke! Inedible onions that resembled charcoal, sluggish service, and a cashier who couldn't multitask to save their life - fork, drink, and half other half of my order? Forgotten!

Mmmmm

Friendly little place with nice people. Loved the simple menu and easy going feel of the place…read more The ugly burger is a patty shaped to fit an oblong Franz sandwich roll. That's it. The quality of the burger meat is excellent. I loved the burger bar where you can build your own burger with sauce and toppings to your heart's content. Fries served hot. Salt yourself at table. Fresh brewed tea was perfect. Although not a cheap lunch, Highly recommended!

BEST BURGER IN REDDING... MAYBE THE BEST BURGER EVER…read more Whenever I am in Redding, I make it a point to stop here at least once for a burger. The burgers, the demographic who eats here, the wall decor, and the mild to moderate disrespect and attitude from Dick hasn't changed a bit... and I wouldn't have it any other way. He is a small breath of fresh air when it comes to community and giving back to small business. He gets his meat fresh every single morning... literally fresh, NEVER frozen. He patties and cooks it right there in front of you over an open flame. The burger comes plain with cheese, which you will need to take back to the "Sandwich Bar" where you will put on all of your sauces and condiments. Why is it called the ugly burger? Because the guy cooking the burger is damn ugly! And also the burger is shaped awkwardly long, but fits perfectly in the hoagie bun. It's one of the most fresh burgers I have ever eaten. And each burger is cooked with love. If anyone gave this place less than a 4 star, you don't deserve to leave reviews on Yelp!

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

I ordered the breakfast burrito and my partner had some pancakes. The burrito was decently sized tasted fresh and was nice and filling, no complaints there. The pancakes were really good and fluffy. Staff was friendly whipped up some spicy salsa for me since my breakfast burrito needed a little kick and was very attentive. There's a good amount of seating for the size of the place and they had a small bar area which I thought was a nice touch. Solid little spot of people to stop by and grab a bite to eat.

It was a nice, cool evening so it was perfect to dine outside. We had a great server, Chloe, who was friendly and attentive & made sure our dining experience was perfect all around.

We had just taken our daughter to a water park so we were dressed rather casual. Albeit very casual and partially wet front the water we were greeted immediately and seated outside. I love Al fresco dining which they offer with misters on their outside patio. Our little one got to run around while we waited on our order. The craft root beer and burgers were top notch. I ordered the GOAT burger with arugula and bacon jam. It did not disappoint. My husband got the widow which was also quite delectable. Both burgers were cooked perfectly and the flavors complemented each other. Little notes of arugula, salty bacon, sweet jam, goat cheese, beef combined with a buttery fluffy bun made it a masterpiece. I upgraded to the duck fat and Parmesan fries. These are must try. Better than any fries I've had in NYC, SoCal Italy Germany or anywhere. Their fries were hand cut, the herbs and Parmesan were so fresh and drizzled with duck fat oil just sent them over the top. My husband upgraded to the cheese curds which were perfect as well. Their house ranch was also great and I'm a ranch snob. We were hungry and were served quickly with a smile. Our server or manager was on top of everything but not smothering. We will be back soon, this is a must try! Kid friendly but also a place you could come dressed to impress and enjoy as well. Thank you!

The Thai Noodle Bowl is a good alternative to the usual burger option. Tasty and a little spicy on the backend.

I am a bit behind in writing this, but wanted to regardless! My partner and I had our daughter's…read morebirthday party at Woody's in April. We chose Woody's because our little one wanted mac 'n cheese and they have some of the best in town! I cannot rave enough about the restaurant and how well they handled the party. The booking process was easy and completed via e-mail. This aspect was handy as I didn't have to leave the house or make a phone call on a busy day. The gentleman I spoke to answered all of my questions during the booking process. On the day of the party, we showed up a few minutes early to put up some decorations. A waitress and waiter came and greeted us right away. The owner even came by, promptly, and introduced himself to me. The kindess and professionalism was outstanding. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name! I feel terribly that I can't provide it.) did an outstanding job! We were a big group of people and she took all of our orders, answered questions, and helped us with anything we needed. I hope it can be determined who worked that day so she can be given her kudos as she was lovely! Lastly, the kitchen staff did a great job getting our food out in a timely manner. I was impressed by their speed and the food was delicious. As the restaurant was busy, we didn't have a chance to say thank you one final time before we left. So, thank you again, Woody's! You guys made the party enjoyable and easy for us. We felt we could take a step back and enjoy our daughter's day! :)

The breading on the fish was thick. Too thick. Did I mention the tartar sauce. Will have to go with a burger next time, no more fish.
