“ This is some great food! It's been a long time since I've had a really good hamburger. You know not the fast food void of taste stuff. Well Dudes is going to fill the hole in your stomach and leave you full? ”
“ Dudes Drive In made our daddy-daughter date night unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely top-notch. Aubrey took our order and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. She was so kind, helpful, and genuinely personal—it felt like she truly cared about making our night special. I couldn’t decide on a milkshake, so I asked her to surprise me, and she took on the challenge like a pro! She created a signature shake that wasn’t even on the menu, and let me tell you, it was AMAZING. If you’ve got a sweet tooth like me, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend not just for the food but for the incredible service. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ In the early 70’s my mom and I after shopping in town would stop by Dude’s for ice cream and now my wife and I are continuing the tradition. If you haven’t had a Dude’s upside down cone in a cup soft serve you are missing out on something very special and the kids that serve you are genuinely good people. There’s a reason why they are one of the longest serving drive-ins operating in Redding Ca. Don’t forget to get yourself a pastrami burger. God bless America and especially these UNITED STATES ”
