If you ever find yourself rolling down old Route 66, make a pit stop at Red’s Giant Hamburg—a true roadside treasure where the menu is as iconic as the sign out front.
Let’s start with the burgers. Red’s lineup hits all the right notes: from the humble Junior for a lighter bite to the full-on Senior Triple for those who like their patties stacked high. I went with the Giant with Cheese—a double-patty legend slathered in your choice of mustard, ketchup, and pickle or Red’s signature spread. Juicy, nostalgic, and packed with flavor, this burger alone is worth the detour.
Craving something beyond beef? The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich delivers with a crispy, golden breading and just the right chew. The Chicken and Fish Sandwiches are solid contenders too—classic, no-fuss options with a satisfying crunch.
Under “Favorites,” don’t skip the Coney or the classic Hot Dog—both dripping with old-school charm. The Frito Pie is a sleeper hit, rich with chili and crunch, while the Chili Cheese Fries are everything you want in comfort food—messy, melty, and deeply satisfying.
Sides-wise, it’s a tough choice: crispy French Fries, golden Onion Rings, or sweet-and-savory Sweet Fries. For something heartier, grab a Bowl of Beans or Bowl of Chili—both warm, seasoned just right, and made for spooning up with a smile.
To wash it down, sip on an old-fashioned Draft Root Beer or go for a creamy Shake or Malt—my pick? The Root Beer Float, which brings dessert and drink into perfect harmony. Ice cream lovers can also choose from Cups, Cones, or Freezes, each as delightful as the last.
Red’s doesn’t just serve food—it dishes out memories.
