Gene's Drive-in - Redding

Tater Tots. Seriously, get the Tots. Or maybe you are feeling in a more onion ring mood good choice as well. On a hot day, they have what can only be described as a ENORMOUS!!! soft serve ice cream cone, no really, that thing had to have been easily a foot tall, not counting the cone. Redding history, wonderful place.

This burger joint has been at this location for practically ever. They make a good burger. I do wish I could have tasted what their burger was like when they originally opened.

There's a weekly cruise night at Gene's and the local hot rods are swell, Daddy-O. Food's pretty good, too! I recommend their milkshakes.

Gene's is an example of how things use to be, and I for one am so thankful they're still in business. The prices are pretty good and so is the food. A micah burger beats a dam burger any day.

I have loved this place since I was a kid. It was sold and went downhill a few years ago, but has new owners as of May 2016. They are doing improvements to the building and menu. They were not able to buy the original 'Gene 's ' recipes, but they are doing a good job of making the new fit with the old. The 'let there be bacon ' burger is so good. The peanut butter shake is worth coming back for! The traditional Thursday night classic cars still show up, maybe not as many as there used to be, but with good food again, hopefully the classics will come again.
