    Home cooking for sure! Seat yourself, but be prepared for a busy morning crowd of older folks. Very nice group. Waitress was professional, no chit chat. Only $23 for two breakfasts and a coffee! Ham steak was nice and salty. Sourdough yummy. Eggs were cooked perfectly to order same with the tasty crispy hash browns. Gravy was good not heavy like most country gravy. Will be back to try more on the menu! Biscuit looked unique but had a very fresh homemade taste, you will not be disappointed! Wish they had nicer jam and hotter coffee. P.s. the bathrooms are located in the gas station.

    My family came here to eat breakfast and the food was amazing. Originally ordered chicken fried steak only to find out it was actually beef! I can't have beef told the waitress with the dark brown hair and with no hesitation she took it back and replaced it with a grilled chicken breast. The people here were great if we're ever in the area we will definitely eat here again!

    6-26-2022 I love coming in to eat here. The atmosphere is always happy and it makes the delicious food taste even better. Thank you for the kind and attentive service today Corey. Today I was extra pleased with the recommendation from Destiny for the patty melt when I was in need of something delicious, substantial, and quick. The cooks did an awesome job on making my food delicious and pleasing to the senses. Thank you to everyone that had a hand in my good experience. As always!!! Keep it up😁 I love this place

    Best truck stop in Idaho Falls! 🥇 Breakfast feast fit for a King! 👑 The ham steak added for only $1.00! 🐷 Food is served quick and hot and well plated. Large portions! We share the breakfast and still have left overs! You won't leave hungry! Prices are super reasonable! Friendly, attentive servers! Hilary is awesome! On it! Never have an empty coffee cup! ☕ The restraunt and bathrooms are super clean. Very well managed. Highly recommend.

    Seriously??? If you ever want to relive the “old days” that are long gone this place is right up your alley!! The food is on point!! I mean over the top good home cooking! But what sets this place apart from other divers is the customer service!! So awesome to see this place back up and thriving!! Please don’t change a thing!!

    Definitely an easy going truck stop diner. Really friendly people and clean restaurant. Servings were good sized. My grilled Chicken sandwich was good, but fries, while plentiful, were greasy and soft (not crispy on the outside). Onion rings were too much deep fried breaded and not enough onion.

    Great breakfast spot. Pancakes are always terrific. If you have an appetite, order the ham steak with your breakfast!

    I’m so confused why this place has so many good reviews. My family of 5 left feeling so disappointed and we will never go back. So many other places in town where the food is SO much better for the same price and you leave with extras b/c you get so much food. Not here. I do want to say that the service was fast & friendly. My 15yr old got the French toast and she got 2 skinny wonder bread slices. No dusting of pwd.sugar or anything. It was pitiful. The rest of us instantly started sharing our fries & onion rings and offering bites of our sandwich b/c we knew she was going to be left hungry. For $8 IMO you shouldn’t leave hungry. My daughter is a slender girl & not a big eater. My husband & I both got the French dip. It was ok. The sandwich was small. Simple store bought deli meat in the middle. No pickle or cheese…it was something you make when no effort is being made. The onion rings had lots of batter, thus tonssssss of grease. But I ate them so I wouldn’t leave hungry. My son got a cheeseburger. Now that did actually look good. If you come here this might be your best bet. He gave it an 8/10. My youngest got the kids pancakes, bacon & eggs. She ate it all. Which never happens. It was actually cheaper than the French toast and came with more food. LOL. I’m sorry but if you are looking for some amazing dinner food…this is not it.

    Large portion sizes. Friendly staff and homely atmosphere. I really enjoyed the turkey club and there was high praise for the Ruben sandwich.

    Perfect stop with the grandkids after Bear World. It's right off the highway. I had the Prime Rib sandwich and fried mushrooms. I loved the gigantic tomato slice! My husband had the taco salad with was good too. The grandkids had the chicken strips. It was perfect for the grandchildren. The waitress, Corey, was pleasant and very efficient. Very reasonable prices.

    It's a truck stop diner, so what can I say. Not the best not the worst grease balls Ive ever eaten but it's ok. If you like the atmosphere then there ya go. If ya want a family place hit up Cedric's food is 100% better and the atmosphere isn't a dead cloud of no personality. Be happy people.

    Amazing biscuits and gravy and sausage patty. They did mess up on my girlfriend order cause she ordered bacon with hers and the served sausage patty but we didn't realize it till we got home. The server who gave me my order was rude but the food was amazing. Good job to the cooks and to who ever decides on the vendor cause that was amazing sausage.

    Less than expected. I have gone here over the last 20 years. Normally are good servers good food. I had a table of 5. The waitress messed up on our appetizers and put the wrong order she offered to have extras of what we ordered than came back and said she couldn't do that. Charged us full price on her mistake. We had steaks and didn't even bring steak knives over. Forgot our rolls that came with our dinners. I spent over $100 for a disappointing dinner. I do still lightly recommend still but I wouldn't make my first choice. I can say there is a high chance that we will not be coming back and for friends and family I will not recommend. This restaurant has gone down hill lately

    Grading this restaurant as a truck stop will not work. This place is really above average when all things considered. The food is always a larger quantity and better tasting than expected considering the "truck stop food" atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Jane S. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent place to eat. My husband ate here a lot when he was a truck driver. It is THE place to eat if you are traveling through Idaho Falls. The food is very good! Portions are generous. Service is great! The huge cinnamon buns are amazing! You will not be disappointed!

    TLDR: Good service, decent food, great value, casual diner-like ambience. We (party of 3) arrived around 6:30pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant was about a quarter full. A server let us know we could seat ourselves wherever we wanted. The restaurant was very plain. The tables and chairs were no-frills. Our table had advertisements plastered all over it. Each table had salt and pepper, sugar (and alternatives), and coffee creamer. Whiteboards announced the day’s specials. There was a family with young children running about in one corner and an elderly gentleman with a cowboy’s hat in another. I definitely felt the homestyle-ness of it all. We ordered the mushrooms, bowl of soup of the day, and dinner salad for appetizers. We did the Chili Burger and Yankee Pot Roast Dinner with tots and the Shrimp and Fish combo with fries for our entrees. The soup and salad were served quickly, less than 5 minutes after ordering, after which came the mushrooms and then (before we finished) the entrees. The food was overall about what you’d expect from a place like this. The salad was plain lettuce with a pile of shredded American cheese ontop and Italian dressing (our choice). The soup, a beef and vegetable take, was savory and the meat was tender. Turns out they had just run out of it so our server apologetically gave it to us in a smaller cup size and told us she wouldn’t charge us for it. The mushrooms came piping hot and served with ranch. The batter was pretty thick and hard-crispy; the mushrooms themselves were small but juicy. The chili smothered burger was good. It was definitely messy. The chili tasted canned and lacked much spice. The patty, which I ordered medium-rare, turned out more medium, but still packed alot of grilled-meat flavor and juice, albeit lacking salt. The buns were over-toasted to a black color. The tater tots were hot, crispy, and good. The fried fish and shrimp batter was again thick, but paired nicely with the tartar sauce. The fries were more mushy than crispy. The vegetables served alongside were canned/frozen. The pot roast was hearty and smothered in a savory gravy. The vegetables and meat were tender. The portions were overall generously large given the relatively cheap prices (at least from the perspective of a city-dweller). We had to pack most of our tots, fries, and the mushrooms because we were so full. Our waitress was polite and checked up on us frequently. Though not overly warm or friendly she satisfied our expectations. I would overall recommend this spot for some quick and hearty grub. Definitely don’t be looking for anything fancy, though. No-frills is what it is.

    If you leave here hungry it’s your own choice. I ordered the lunch special which was 10oz steak. It was perfectly cooked and served with choice of potato and veggies. Hubby ordered Salsbury steak served same way. Both meals were delicious. Plus we ordered an appetizer, salad and soup and was still under 40$. Definitely on our stop to eat list. As truck drivers it’s nice to eat a decent meal.

    First time and it was delicious. Family mentioned this place in passing. I went there and was not disappointed. The service was excellent, the wait was minimal, the ambience is warm and inviting, and the food was very delicious. The price was just as good as the food. Sometimes I work late and their hours are later than the local norm which is a blessing because I can't cook worth a dang. I hope they stay busy and profitable for a very long time. God Bless.

    Typical truck stop style cafe. Eggs were a little overcooked and hash browns were a little undercooked. Staff was very friendly and place seems to have a regular crowd. I. Didn't order the ham, but those that did had portions large enough that feed multipl people.

  • 1/5 Shanon B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of their Friday night specials for $11.49. Seriously! I understand inflation but this is just taking advantage. Their other special for shrimp and fish was $13.49. It comes with your choice of potato. Ordered baked potato. No butter. 2 pc fish and 3 shrimp with four sliced carrots. Come on! You almost have to have a 6 figure salary to eat out anymore. I can guarantee that this place won't get richer off of my money.
