Boonville is pretty much in the middle of nowhere and it's an awesome little town. We were passing through when the hungries hit. Boy did we luck into a great place. It says burgers and sandwiches on the sign, but they have some of the best fried chicken I've ever had anywhere. They use a corn flower batter on their chicken and fish and both are awesome. So tender and moist. Their menu is mostly Mexican food besides the burgers and I can't say anything on it other than the beans and rice that came with our meal was also delicious. This is a one stop has it all. Besides the restaurant with inside and outside dining, there is a nice convenience store and fuel for your wheels too. The service was great. So if you're going from nowhere to nowhere on CA-128 through Boonville, stop for some fabulous chicken. read more

Terrible food!!! Way overpriced for the quality. This place should be shut down by the health inspector. $20 for a stale overcooked skimpy and flavorless burger and fries. HIGHWAY ROBBERY read more

Breakfast was really good. The coffee has a strong and clean taste. Ambiance is what you'd expect of a cafe. Service though - really good. Breakfast came fast and the people were friendly. More than that, we had a minor incident the night before and they readily helped us with band-aids from their own first aid kit. Def recommended! read more

I love the Rdwd. Drive-in The owners run the restaurant and convenience store. In addition they have great customer service, and great food! They also exhibit, great family, values, and environment. They take great effort in. Getting your order right and it always is. read more

Terrible place to stop. Menu is questionable as they didn't have much that was listed. Shared a sandwich with my wife. Edible but that's about it. Don't waste your time. Restroom filthy. read more

Food is old, hard and no flavor. The owners (multiple family members own this establishment) have the most egregious attitudes ever. The owners family members use the dinning area as a hang out spot to serve dirty looks intentionally making customers feel very uncomfortable and unwelcomed. The eating area inside is used as a living room with their personal belongings strewn around where customers are supposed to be able to eat. It's always empty. I tried being kind but have been met with foul looks and treatment so I'll no longer be supporting this local trash can any longer. No wonder the locals never eat here...or anyone else for that matter. This is supposed to be a professional establishment, not your alleyway. read more

They have gas (albeit pricy), a restroom (but not clean or well kept), and food. We didn't try the food but it seemed okay. The guy at the front was nice and greeted us. I'm grateful for gas and restroom though. read more

Great service, great people and great food. We were looking for a breakfast place and happy to discover this place.

Ya know when they say right over there is a great burger place. Your mouth is watering thinking thick juicy burger. Then a $20 burger comes out your looking for the beef it is a pre made patty. Ugh... Avoid Boonville Redwood Dr In Burgers read more

Delicious breakfast! My mom and I split the loggers omelette, breakfast tostada and a waffle. The service was very polite and quick. If you're looking for a cozy place to enjoy a meal, this is a perfect spot. read more

We stopped here on the way home from a trip and it was pretty good! Burger was delicious, crispy fries, and fast service. There was some outside seating available too. The only thing was my corn dog was still cold in the middle and a little doughy Heard they had great donuts but didn't get a chance to have them this time. We'd return if we were coming through town again! read more

This is about the Mexican food that we had at this place. It's five stars but deducted one for the service. Being polite and friendly seems to be against the rule of the establishment. We had a burrito and a Chili Relano. Full of flavor and spot on. We were not expecting mexiacan food of this flavor in Philo. read more

I gave this place one star for two reasons. One because there wasn't anything less and two because they had food. And I used the word food loosely. $12 for a bacon cheeseburger with a frozen squished flat quarter pound patty on a gigantic bun. It was dry and tasteless. The bacon was like beef jerky. We ended up just taking it off and throwing it away. The french fries were frozen and barely cooked. The bathroom was frightening. All the tables in the restaurant were dirty and they weren't busy. And as far as service goes forget about smiles. She was almost completely unfriendly. The only reason we ate here was because we were incredibly hungry. But the next time I'll just starve. read more

This place served the WORST breakfast we ever ate. The cheese omelette had diagonal slices of processed cheese slapped on the top of a pitifully thin omelette. The pancakes were barely cooked, the sausages were charred black. Watery coffee, not enough employees, and overall an unpleasant ambiance. read more

Very expensive for what you get! The restroom was filthy, not just end of day mess, but it looked like it had not really been cleaned for long time. But worst of all, they wouldn't even give us water, with well over $20 for two hamburgers. She said that they don't serve water! read more

Nice little stop for a burger on our way out of Boonville. The burger and onion rings were just what I wanted! I am curious about their ceviche and other fare for next time. Only recc- pens and common areas didn't appear to be sanitized or wiped down. I get it can be a lot to keep up with. read more

Headed back home from the coast and stumbled upon this little hidden gem. Menu had burgers, sandwiches and Mexican. We split taco salad and fajitas and our son had a mushroom Swiss burger. Everything was delicious. My only complaint is that they charged $.50 for a cup with ice in order for us to consume a glass bottle of apple cider which they sold to us. I think that after purchasing a meal for three, you could have given us the cups for free, but, like I said everything else was very good. Will definitely be back. read more

Idk why this place only has three stars! The food was soooo delicious and the staff was super friendly. I wish we lived in this area so we can come back often read more

Little roadside diner, excellent Mexican food. We had the Chile Relleno and the chicken enchiladas plate. Both were outstanding.

So good! What a treat at a little cafe that looks like an ordinary diner. Food was prepared perfectly and ingredients were tasty and fresh. Nice crispy bacon and fluffy doughnuts. read more

Redwood Drive-In - House-made doughnuts - Burgers Near Me - Boonville, California

I bought a burger from there on Dec 20th, 2023 and the bun had MOLD on it!! Then when I called them and asked to speak to a manager the lady on the phone (whom I found out was the OWNER) acted like she couldn't understand English. Then proceeds to say she will tell a manager, which I stated, I ASKED TI SPEAK TO THE MANAGER and then she hung up on me. The burger was brought back there and the lack of customer service and being unapologetic and just blaming it on the cook. This is the owner acting completely unprofessional!! I will NEVER go there again!! Disgusting product and even more disgusting owner!!! read more

I have a taco salad the other day and it was so good. The owner here are so nice and the bathroom is always clean when i come in . Thank you for doing your best during these hard time. read more

My sister and I were traveling back to Napa, after a 3 day getaway in Fort Bragg. We got the "Hangries". Our initial plan was to have brunch at the Boonville Hotel. After approaching the doors we saw they only serve dinner. Bummer... We had passed the Redwood on our way into town and said.." Let's just go back there". From the outside you'd think it was a full sized restaurant, but it's actually a small dining area in front and a gas station/ mini mart in back? We walked in and were a bit unsure what the protocol was? The gentleman at the order window ( so VERY kind and attentive), handed us a breakfast menu and said "Just order, pay, and I'll do the rest"!!! Ok then!! We sat at a small window seat and with in 10 minutes, here he comes with our perfect and most delicious breakfast! If you're ever passing through you must stop. It has many options including a large Mexican Food menu. I'd go back just for the gorgeous ride and to try another epic dish! I give them 5 stars for Food, Service and most off Kindness. Thank you read more

My daughter and I were out wine tasting and were just looking for a place that was open for lunch when we more or less stumbled into the Redwood Drive-In. All I can say is "Wow, I think I just ate the most incredibly delicious Beef Torta of my life!!!@. The bread was incredibly fresh and soft, the beef marinated to perfection, and the pickled jalapeños added an incredible counterpoint to the overall taste and texture of the sandwich. Bravo!! Taste explosion!! Incredibly delicious!!! The new gold standard for tortas!!! read more

We left Mendocino early, driving along the gorgeous Rte 128, planning to have breakfast in Santa Rosa or Rohnert Park, but hunger and caffeine withdrawal hit as we got to Booneville. The friendly owner and cook greeted us. We chose traditional eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns, and toast and coffee. Great food, generous portions, in a mom-and-pop atmosphere, and a nice break on a long drive. read more

There is nothing exceptional about Redwood Drive-In. The menu is not gourmet. They don't boast about artisan recipes or organic ingredients. There is no intentional vintage kitsch. It's just an old diner that doesn't know how to be anything else. And that's why it makes a great breakfast stop. Breakfast is hard to mess up: eggs, pancakes, bacon. It's really not complicated, and Redwood Drive-In gets that. They take basic breakfast staples, do them well, and add some Mexican flair. I had the breakfast tostada: two fried eggs, pinto beans, avocado and cheese on a greasy tostada. After a weekend of wine tasting, this is exactly the kind of meal you want in your belly. My travel companions had the stack of hot cakes, which came extra fluffy with a vase of maple syrup on the side. Simple, filling, cheap, and tasty. The coffee is pretty terrible, there are no espresso drinks offered, and the orange juice is most-likely Minute Maid. But, if you want good cheap breakfast grub on the go, you'll find plenty to love at Redwood. read more

Burgers kinda suck. If you are starving it will hold you but otherwise would not recommend. Nothing to it and low quality ingredients

Very disappointing lunch: taco salad in a fried shell that reeked of rancid grease. Contents were sparse layer of iceberg lettuce with very spicy salsa and (maybe American?) cheese. I asked for chicken but the mixture I got was unrecognizable, maybe canned chili with chunks? Hubby's turkey, bacon and cheese: 1slice of (American?) cheese, 2 thin slices of bacon, 1 deli slice turkey--and it was greasy. Only saving grace is the service was great, staff friendly and helpful. Still, won't be going back. Addendum: later that night, I spent a lot of time in the bathroom. read more

Um. No thanks. We only came here because we needed gas and my family needed to use the restroom. It was gross and a little weird. First of all, the toilets didn't flush and they didn't have any paper towels to dry your hands. Thankfully we had some hand sanitizer. The weird part was the sight of the store selling tighty-whitey underwear next to selling o0ld coffee, next to selling oil. Just weird. Next time, we'll find another place to stop on our way to Mendocino. read more

Redwood Drive-In - Oil, coffee and underwear. - Burgers Near Me - Boonville, California

A solid breakfast place with a large menu between breakfast and lunch. Would strongly recommend this place for some rib-sticking food. I had a giant omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast. Everything was dome just right. Good coffee, too. There isn't much in the way of food places in Boonville and Philo. This place opens early and gets a real interesting pool of local characters. read more

The place had a fithy restroom, and the food was not worth the price!! I would keep driving and look for another place. If you have too eat then go ahead but you will mot be happy. read more

Do not eat here! I've been sick for two days now after eating lunch at this joint. Seizing stomach cramps, upset stomach, the works. I ordered an enchilada dish that was not good. A sweetish red sauce covered everything, the ingredients were mostly unrecognizable, and they put a couple of thin overcooked slabs of chicken on top of it all. Though I only ate half of it, I'm still dealing with the effects. The food was overpriced as well. My advice- Eat somewhere else. Also, the staff is not very friendly. Just no on this place. read more

Great service, friendly staff and the food was great. Dog friendly on the patio which is a huge plus on a long road trip with a dog.

It's a drive in so the ambiance is what it is but some of the best homemade menudo, carnitas and carne asado tacos and sopes I've had. Been here twice in two days! read more

Pleasant enough place for a quick stop. I had an omelet, which tasted fine. There were Mexican food items on the menu that might have been more interesting. It's a little pricey for what you get. The place was clean and spacious. There is a planter out front under the sign. There was a pumpkin about a foot in diameter growing there. At my age, that qualifies as an attraction. read more

Great location, you can't miss the place. The restrooms are SPOTLESS!! The Owner takes pride in cleaning the bathrooms twice a day to make sure us customers are satisfied. Hands down the best doughnuts I've EVER HAD!! Homemade every morning, on a good day you can get them when they're still warm. The tacos on the lunch menu are AMAZING!!! Mouth is watering just thinking about them. You guys for sure need to give this place a try!! read more

Delicious carne Asada tacos & fries! 1/4 cheeseburger was good, too. Fast & friendly service. Love this place, super divey but that's all part of its ambience! After being on the 101 and then the 128 with no suitable place to stop for a refreshment, this place is a welcome sight. The bathrooms aren't great, but not the worst. When ya gotta go, you gotta go. I always and will always stop here on my way through town because its got charm and the food is pretty good in my opinion! read more

Blow my mind, Sunday evening and everything is close. I was not only please to have a late dinner, the food is delicious and be next time back. read more

Doesn't look like much but the taco salad was the best I've ever had. The ingredients were so fresh, the lettuce crispy, and very little to no sauce. It was quite healthy and delicious. My husband loved his carnivals plate also. The food here was much better than I've had in some relatively fancy restaurants. Service was a little slow but it's a small town store/ restaurant. So that's to be expected. Part of the charm .... read more

My family and I were driving from Fort Bragg and was looking for a place to eat that had good reviews. We picked this place because it looked cute and had good food. First they messed up on the drinks and when we went back to get the Correct ones we were questioned and they wanted to see the receipt. My husband ordered menudo and asked for hominy, when it came there wasn't any hominy. He politely said I asked for hominy, the women said what is that, with an attitude! He finally said can I just get fish and chips. She said ok but I have to charge you more. Fine. When the dish came it was chicken strips!! We took it back and she gave us our money back but was very rude and we felt uncomfortable. When we were leaving I went and asked for a box to take our left over food home and she looked at me rudely and said what is that??! I said I would like to take my food, she got a container and threw it on the counter and walked away. I was really upset because I was treated like that. I was trying something new and it was a terrible experience. read more
