The hole in the wall burger spot. The locals burger joint. The mom and pop corner shake shop. All the stuff of legend. If you don't have one, your looking for it. That spot where the burgers are juicy, they ask you how you want them cooked, they have a "fry sauce" for dipping and they have malts. Malts!!! It's on Placer, but it's wedged in between a giant, faceless concrete bunker-like building with no windows, and a bank across the street. It is the life and color of the end of the block. The patio is a canopy over some tables on the sidewalk, a few Christmas lights, a fence, and tons of charm. It's fresh, made with soul and love, and they care. It's an independent burger shop with crispy fries and great burgers. If you haven't been there, your denying yourself a piece of the past, when you could hang a sign saying "open" and feed hungry workers who are building a dam. Yes. That's real, from when Shasta Dam was being constructed. Hence the name. There's no drive thru. It doesn't run on door dash or an internet ap. It's an actual burger joint, built by locals, for locals, and it's delicious. It's not fancy. It's...

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...
