Serving Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner. "Home of the Idaho Style Cheesesteak!" Our signature Philly is still done the same way as when Benjamin Franklin invented the first one on a stormy afternoon in 1752. Except we stopped using lightning as a heat... More

We were craving hot dogs and this restaurant came up. The employee that took our order was incredible. They were patient and took the time to answer questions I had. The decor here is patriotic. This restaurant has a very laid back atmosphere. Perfect for families wanting a relaxing time. There is plenty of seating. The Chicago Dog was so tender and juicy. It literally melted in my mouth. The Chicago Dog was bursting with flavor. The bun came with poppy seeds, which got a bit messy. I enjoyed the order of fries. They tasted homemade, which I loved. I believe those are the best kind of fries. The order of fries came with a dipping sauce. I was unable to make out the ingredients but there was a small hint of spice. The kids mac and cheese was perfect for my daughter. Once again this tast

This place was decent. We were just passing through and googled it and decided to give it a try. Their menu has a lot of options. I think their meat could have a little more flavor but overall the food was good!

Walked in and was asked if I was dining in or take out. I said dine in. I sat in the back and waited about ten minutes. No one came to me. I went up to front to try to order and two girls were in the back. One was cooking and the other talking to the cook. Another girl was there with a baby. I get it’s maybe a mom and pop shop but I didn’t get service. Figured y’all should know. Only two gentleman there.

So I was down the street filling up with fuel and searched for a hamburger near me and this place came up. I actually got the Philly steak with fries and it was really good the fries were good as well. Really fun decor and definitely a little hole in the wall shop with great staff that deserves a visit!

If I could give this zero stars, I would. My Hispanic girlfriend and I went here not realizing it was a hardcore Republican establishment. After sitting at our table for several minutes and watching the employees stand there doing nothing, we witnessed them looking straight at us and then one said, "I don't want to take their order." We got up and left. Regardless of your political leanings, it's still hard to believe that this kind of prejudice still exists. Be better, it doesn't take much. Idaho Falls has no room for this kind of hatred.
