Bud's Jolly Kone — Restaurant in Red Bluff

I always love going to Bud's Jolly Kone. I've been going here as long as I can remember, and it has a special place in my heart. I love the fact that this is a Christian-based company, and they put Bible verses on the receipts.

My favorite part is the milkshakes, which come in a large variety of flavors. I definitely recommend paying the extra amount to get a flavor off of the additional flavors menu. I like many of the flavors, but I do tend to fall back on the Brownie Batter flavor, so I guess I would call that my favorite. My dad's favorite is the Butterscotch flavor. My grandmother is disappointed, however, how when she asked about the Boysenberry flavor, they didn't know what she was talking about. Overall, amazing milkshakes!

The burgers, however, I was a little disappointed about the last few times I went. I haven't been to Bud's in at least a year up until a few weeks ago, and I have since been there twice. In the special sauce on the burgers, there's a sweet flavor in it I'm not a huge fan of, and I don't remember it. I may be remembering wrong, and it's still good to eat if you're hungry, but I'm still...

Bud's has been around as long as I can remember, and it'd be hard to imagine Red Bluff without it. It's your typical homegrown burger stand with a few unique perks that make it noteworthy. You can go nuts on dessert drinks there for one, they've got hella flavors and different combinations to choose from. They also used to do this deal on Wednesdays where if you bought any menu item you could add a burger for .50 cents, so say you bought 2 orders of fries and 2 orders of tots that's 4 burgers you could add for .50 cents each. Seating indoors is LIMITED but I believe they've expanded their outdoor seating dramatically as of late.

It's actually been a long time since I was there so I didn't know exactly why Google is just now prompting me for a review, but the one drawback I remember was their frequently rotating staff. On the one hand you never knew who would be working nor what their level of aptitude (or ineptitude) might be, but on the other hand they've consistently provided jobs and real world experience for a lot of young people in Tehama County. So I can't fault...

Not worth it. We waited for over 30 minutes while the girls working sang and danced to a Hannah Montana and a lady gaga CD. They called the wrong order number, so our food sat for who knows how long. They blamed the wait on me ordering a garden burger.. saying they take long. Then why was it cold when I got it? They gave my son soda instead of lemonade. Gave my husband diet Coke instead of regular coke.

While we were waiting two teenage girls came in to order drinks and then two teenage boys came in a few minutes later to order a chicken strip meal and got their food in less than 3 minutes. The girls waited over 10 minutes and one asked for a refund instead of waiting longer. We waited so long that we tried to eat our food.. bad idea. It was cold and the lettuce and tomatoes were old.

We were so bummed and unsatisfied that we went to Bartels Giant Burger about 10-15 minutes away. The service there was impeccable and the food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and drive down the road a bit for a much...
