    Dude's Drive In outside menu.
    Peter D.

    Finally got a chance to try Dude's Drive Inn. A few things to note. I would suggest ordering ahead of time (they're on Doordash). I tried calling the phone number listed on their website but it went straight to voicemail (mailbox was full. Just fyi). I pulled into their location and got in line in what I thought was a drive thru (which it is, sort of). There's no ordering speaker with menu. Best to use the drive thru for picking up orders placed ahead of time. There was a car ahead of me and I ended up waiting for at least 20 minutes before placing my order in which I was asked to pull around and park and that my order would be brought out. After waiting for close to 35 minutes, I got my order and an apology for the delay. To the food...I ordered the "Big Dude" with bacon (double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce) and an order of their French fries with fry sauce. The burger was tasty and hit the spot but the star of the show was the French fries. They're not your run of the mill fries that live in a freezer. At least, they didn't appear or taste like it. They were crispy and salty and the fry sauce complimented perfectly. I will definitely visit Dude's again. Only negative was how long it took to get my order and that I couldn't call ahead.

    Wow, this drive in has been around for a long time! It still takes us back in time with the music and decor. They add items in at the last minute and make the best handmade milkshakes with the most customizable flavors I have ever seen. They have the best corn dogs, burgers, nuggets, shakes and fries I have had! Their customer service is greatly appreciated every time. Pricing is great, it's always a treat coming to Dudes. Check it out if you haven't. Their burgers are so filling as is all their food.

    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

    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.

    Nice family owned business vibe. Desert was great. Friendly staff members. Plus they have the little arcade games which my kids loved

    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!

For the chicken, you pick your own flavor/spice level. We went with full platter (whole chicken) with half mango lime and half mild. For our 2 sides, we chose corn on the cob and cole slaw. We also added potato wedges. We grabbed our seats after we placed our order at the counter. Our order was ready around 18 minutes. They called our name and we picked up at the pick up window. Full platter comes with 10 pieces. Mild looked pretty plain but it was super spicy, tasted more like hot. Mango lime was nothing I expected. The flavor was alright but wouldn't get again. Very spicy as well. Chicken was a bit dry but overall, tasted ok. Corn on the cob was a bit burnt. Coleslaw was very creamy. Potato wedges was really good. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Service was friendly. They do offer cups for complimentary water, self serve. Seatings indoor and outdoor. Only one neutral gender restroom for customers. They are connected to Sourdough Bread Company. Ample parking in the plaza.

There were open tables and our food was ready quickly. Sadly, this is where my review becomes not as enjoyable. I ordered the hot honey chicken and, while the flavor was interesting, it was extremely greasy and lacked any depth within the flavor. Everyone else at my table ordered the sliders and had the same type of experience. It truly left me wondering what the hype about this place was and how it became popular because it just felt like a very standard chicken sandwich/chicken tenders. I don't plan on going back, but perhaps it was the location versus the actual restaurant? It's definitely worth a try because I have heard good things about it.
