★★★☆☆ 3.0 Robbynn Blacketer · Aug 2025

UPDATE: The lady at the front counter gave us a full refund for the burgers and fries which I'm grateful for and we paid for the drink that we kept. She was very kind and respectful during the entire encounter. There was a literal BITE out of my boyfriend's burger and what looked like a bubble out of mine. We immediately took it back (of course) and the lady who was handling cash at the front counter walked to the back, grabbed a patty with her bare hands, heated it on the grill, put it on a new top bun, and handed that to me with her bare hands. I am very disappointed and disgusted... I already hate throwing away food and wasting, but it especially hurt to chuck a $15 meal 💔 Disappointing and unprofessional to say the least.... ☹️

My fiance and I both got sick after eating there. We both had a Papa Joe's. The burgers were barely warm. I had a bad feeling while I was eating it. The lady that took our order was nice. Will not be going back.

They messed up our order multiple times even after I confirmed what the order was supposed to be. Took about 40 minutes of waiting for them to get it right. The fries were really underdone and soggy. Also really over priced.

Not many restaurant choices in this part of Idaho. Onion rings were good but they were all fried into one big lump. Good jalapeno dip, I spread that all over my burger, it was mild. Fries are exactly what you'd expect. Burger on par with fast food joints. Pretty good and thick shakes. Funniest part of eating here was that while ordering I got the impression it was completely staffed by very tiny people. Then my wife noticed the floor behind the counter was a good foot lower than on the customer side. Also enjoyed reading the 1960s menu to see how times have changed.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Hans Sween · Apr 2024

Came here after a long, cold day of fishing the St. Joe. So that might factor into this review. Honestly, the burgers aren't any worse than any of the other major fast food chains. At this point, all of them are equally low quality, in my opinion. The fries leave a little to be desired. But hey, for the price, they're warm calories. It's definitely an older building and isn't updated with all the flashy new stuff you might see in a more urban setting. But you're in a small town in north Idaho, not the middle of California. Overall, not impressive but not horrible either. I'd definitely go here again after one of my adventures in the area.
