Local favorite. Was very busy at dinner time. Pricey burgers. The burgers taste good. But $100 for 4 people is too much.

Visited for dinner tonight. This was the 3rd day of opening for the season. We were greeted and seated immediately. The Onion rings were delicious. Turkey burger was really good and patty melt was also very good. Christian our waiter was very attentive and he was so nice. We will be back. This is one of the restaurants that says “summer is coming”. Thanks for 50 years and congrats.

Solid food — the bbq burger and crispy chicken wrap were both really good and we loved the Charlie’s combo. tried the hazy hearted beer and ended with an oreo blast. everything came out fast and tasted fresh. our server gianna was great, super friendly and on it. prices were reasonable for how much we ordered. no complaints, would go back.

The Velveeta cheeseburger was very good. The cheese curds were a bit salty. The buffalo cauliflower was excellent. I also liked the cheese that came with the fries because it actually had some flavor. Here's a few warnings: 1.) they only take cash, but they have an ATM in house, and 2.) the cook the burgers to medium well or well done. None of this bothered me. I also didn't think the burger was under-seasoned, but perhaps the cheese helped the taste by providing the salt. I really liked the full sliced onion on the burger, which added crunch. It took awhile for the server to first visit the table because the place was busy, but the food came out quickly. I would return so the fam could try the burgers. EDIT: the individual patties are big, so the double and triples are BIG sandwiches.

I’ve seen ads for Redamak’s since I was a kid, so I finally got around to trying them. I got the ultimate velveeta cheeseburger along with a Bloody Mary. The cheeseburger was excellent. The velveeta makes for a wonderfully melty cheese and it complements the meat well. The pickles, onions, and condiments heighten the flavor. I thought it was an excellent burger. The Bloody Mary was okay, but nothing to really crow about. It did have plenty of savory toppings, however. My one big complaint is that prices seem high for the food. My burger was at least $15 by itself, which seems steep compared to other burger joints I’ve visited recently. Still, I don’t think you can go wrong with their simpler menu items, so long as you’re willing to pay a premium. The staff was friendly and the place was comfortable with a warm atmosphere.
