If you are looking for a Burger Restaurant or want some Ice Cream around Redding, Cottonwood, Anderson, Red Bluff or Shasta Lake make sure that you stop by Dude's Drive Inn. You will be glad that you did. They signed a contract with a franchise company named 'Dari-Delite'. The families that assisted them in building Dude's are still part of McCaslin's family circle.
Love their fries, freezes & their new fresh hamburger meat makes a big difference on how they taste! Best milkshake and fries in town! Not to mention their very own homemade recipe fry sauce! The best! If you have not tried their Vanilla Coke, then you are truly missing out! I am not a fan of hamburgers in general, they have a great bacon cheeseburger, but their grilled cheeses are amazing!

The food here is good but the last 3 times I have gone to Dudes my order has been wrong. Today I ordered 4 burgers for my family and the total came out to $50 which is $20 more than it is supposed to be and they forgot my kids cheeseburgers and fries. I always give a second chance but this was the third time in a row my order has been wrong. Also upgrade the ordering intercom its terrible.

Never got a phone call, had to speak to a manager to figure out what happened, it was left outside in the cold (differing from request of outside suite door), the bean cup was half-empty--looked like half-eaten by driver; food was cold. Saving grace from 1 star: drink cup was full.

In & out burger. Each burger is prepared per your personal request, all items are fresh , your taste buds are about to injoy a wonderful burger and the Fry's are made just right, don't just drive by drive in and have a wonderful dinning experience. You will be back for more Redding Best is hard to beat.

We really enjoy dudes and we want to eat there but everytime we go somehow they manage to forget 2-3 items on our order. So if you're getting one thing it might come out right but if you're ordering for your family expect to share your order because half of it is missing. Coming back and getting food I already paid for after waiting forever is getting old so I most likely will not come back. Too bad too because the options here are limited. PS they always under cook the fried mushrooms...

The staff are friendly. It seems that most of the fried food all taste the same. I got a corn dog and French fries and it had the same flavor. A lot of the things on their menu they don't have. Burgers are good.

Updated - 11/04/2021: This was my last time going to Dudes. It just bad all the way around now. Thought I would surprise the kids and get them milk shakes. This became a $36.13 mistake.
Ordered three medium milk shakes. Two mint chocolate chip and one cheesecake. I also asked for a Big Dude burger. Pulled around. They ring you up first, which is normal except that want a tip at the same time. How are you to know if you want to tip until after you receive the food/service? So I have woman staring at me asking if I want to tip, but just sitting there staring at me. Sure, throw 10% on there. Nope

I use to like this place. But they completely screwed up what I order. I ordered a Dude burger well done. It was cooked medium. Ordered potato gems with Nacho Cheese sauce which is listed on their menu. They melted cheese over the potato gems, stated when I picked up the order that they have never had Nacho Cheese sauce, and the potato gems were burnt. The drinks I had to ask for 3 times before they finally got me the drinks. Worse service I have ever had there. I don't even want to go back at this point. All I can say is make sure you check your order when you get it because they sure don't fix

Great burgers, fries and shakes. Old school drive in hamburger joint. They even have the old drive thru speaker that makes people sound like the adults from Charlie Brown. Kidding aside always one of my stops when I come into town. Fry sauce is a must and one of the main reasons I come back is for fries and special sauce.

Dude's is like stepping through time back to when drive in's were everywhere. Their high quality food, convenient hours for dining, and modest customer service really show that they are the best burger place in town. I enjoy their Big Dude Cheeseburgers, crispy fries, and tasty ice cream.

Great western burger. Lots of bacon, bbq sauce, and onion rings. Chili cheese tots are delicious.

Good Food ,Good Service ,Reasonably priced ,and an Insane number of Milkshake Flavors!!! Like Sonic ,but Unlike Sonic Dudes has an indoor Dining room ,so if the wether isn’t just Right ,Too Hot ,Too Cold ,or Raining.you can still enjoy a good meal out ,also Dude’s is Right hear in Redding so you don’t have to drive 13 miles to Anderson to go to it. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’S 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😁😁😁😁

My family and I absolutely LOVE Dude’s. Their food is great as always , but the milkshakes is where it’s at! They are a meal in themselves. Shannon is so creative and makes the BEST shakes . She’s an absolute doll and makes going to dudes such a terrific experience.
