This place should be nationally recognized for smash burger excellence. It has become my go to since moving to Redding. The burgers are perfect every time, the lacing on the edges is a thing to behold. Yet they are still juicy and tender. The fries are golden brown crisp and hot every time. Get a chocolate malt and dip the fries in it, you will then be having a fantastic day. The staff is amazing and will let you customize to your heart's content Fun welcoming and chill atmosphere with good outdoor seating options.

A simple burger for a road trip on I-5. After 5+ hours on the road, this little hole in the wall really hit the spot. I got the Damburger with no onions, so only lettuce and mustard inside. The patty was very thin and flavorful! The burger bun is very similar to In-N-Out's style of bread. The fries are a similar style to McDonald's, but I personally think Damburger's are better. They are very lightly salted, so if you prefer salty fries, you should ask for more. The staff was really friendly and made sure all customers were social distancing outside. There are no customers allowed inside the store, but there is outdoor seating if you are comfortable. Two burgers and mega fries only took about 5 minutes! Super quick and perfect for a road trip. Also keep in mind, there is no public bathroom here!

Good food for a good price! We will definitely be back! The burgers, dogs and fries were yummy. Served hot and fresh. I was also pleased to find a customer restroom!

If you’re passing through Redding, this is a perfect pit stop. Great burgers and friendly service. Still feels genuine after all these years. The patties are flattened in a tortilla press, creating ‘beef crystals’ on the edges Awesome.

Not a bad place to grab an original smash burger in downtown Redding.

Great burgers, shakes, fries. Not a ton of options but what they do have is really good. The portions are on a bit of the smaller side so if you are really hungry order extra. The price is fair.

On the down side: it wasn't as tasty or juicy as a double/double from I'n'O. On the plus side: the staff is amazingly on-point with great energy and a great attitude, they're just 2 blocks from Shasta Regional, they have beer and hard cider, their shakes are quite good, and there are non-burger options for me to try next time. Will definitely go again to try more stuff.

I don't often give a lot of reviews, and I don't mean to criticize. However, I saw the reviews and I love things nostalgic, as such I was compelled to pay a visit. On the positive side, I do think it's a very cute place, it certainly falls into the nostalgic category. The staff was friendly and the food arrived quickly. I ordered the Double Damn Burger (with cheese) and order of fries, and a chocolate peanut butter shake. Shake was great Fries were great Fry sauce was great At the risk of sounding picky (and I'm simply trying to offer constructive criticism), but as I was halfway finished with the burger, I thought to myself there's no cheese on this burger. I pointed this out to the gal, and a moment later she came back and asked if I would double check "between the patties" and sure enough there was in fact cheese present. I would like to respectfully point out is that if I cannot taste (or see) the cheese, there's a two-fold problem; 1) the patties are already somewhat small, and the fact that the cheese was fitting in the middle of it (without even being exposed) on the edges, demonstrates that a very small amount of cheese is being used. 2) The other issue is that there was too much mustard placed on the burger, which of course will easily kill the taste of all of the other flavors, if applied too heavily... I do in fact like mustard, however there was too much mustard on this occasion, and obviously someone gave it too much of a squirt.. So if the staff is reading this tonight and wonder why I didn't leave a tip, here's your explanation, along with some constructive criticism I believe (e.g. If you're going to add a dollar for cheese it sure as well ought to be enough that you can see it over the edges of the patty), and watch your mustard application we all know that that will override any other flavors... Respectfully, Dan

Late in the evening, it wasn't too busy. It's a small shop, with tight seating. The table wasn't wiped down very well. Service was fine. Food was not great. The burger patties are pressed soo thin, they're burnt and dry. I prefer a juicy burger, and that was not it. The shakes were actually really good, I'd go back for those alone. Any and every extra thing costs. Even the fry sauce, of which they give a tiny little cup. Only available condiment is ketchup, and our table didn't even have a bottle. The drinks were good, nice root beer and decent lemonade. Fries were actually decent but I've had better. The history is cool tho!

Don't waste your $$ on the puppy (dog) patty, it was quite small, and falling apart (see pic!!), I was charged $2.55 for this. 😬🫤🙄 There's another place down the road that gives decent puppy patties for less than HALF that, and they are fresh made. I always prefer to patronize small businesses, and find they're usually much better than the fast food chain places, disappointed this is definitely not the case here!! I've been really looking forward to trying Dam Burgers, especially with the fun, local History. The service was okay, and quick. The Burger was nothing to write home about, and NOTHING stood out about it, not flavor, ingredients, nor price. The fries were the typical skinny (think frozen) type, but they did give a generous amount that I felt was consistent with the price point, however, they charge if you want fry sauce, you don't even get one with your order. As far as ambience, I always enjoy the small down home Cafe, this does offer that, with its dated interior and small seating capacity. Located in a busy downtown area with paid parking, it was easy to find parking.
