Strawberry, raspberry and cookie dough shakes.

10/10 Amazing customer service, clean tables,hot fresh food and great portion sizes. Don't sleep on the fresh berry shakes!

On our weekly day trips we look for the "mom and pop" spots with the most cars in the parking lot. Big J's fit the criteria as we passed through Preston, Idaho and it did not disappoint. The place was literally packed, yet we didn't wait more than 30 seconds to be acknowledged and asked for our order. Our cashier was very nice and attentive. A table opened up and we snagged it, then waited less than 5 minutes for our food to be delivered, which was fresh and hot. Fries were delicious and fry sauce available. Yum!! My cheeseburger was just so-so, nothing much to say about it. My hubs got the Big-J, he loved it. The place was clean as a whistle! The staff was on top of cleaning tables as customers departed making turn around for seating timely. We had our eyes on the shakes at other tables but didn't end up indulging; they looked delicious. A girl came by our table when we started to clear it off and took our tray and offered us a dum-dum sucker or mint from a basket. Nice touch! Overall a great experience, maybe just need to up their game on the cheeseburgers!

Horrible experience. Attendant takes order face2face INCORRECTLY, verbally attacked about half eaten/missing food. NEVER AGAIN

Bad experience for the out of state customer. Young Man didn't get the order correct, returned, to be told we were charged for one burger and not the other. Then the interrogation began as to what had been eating! Who the hell attacks a paying customer fir the food they laid for, yet received wring because of an incompetent employee who didn't pay attention to begin with? Big J's, that's who. I'll never return and make sure local family knows not to for this reason. Previously I had been a repeat customer when in town. Never again. Ever.

Big J,s is a must stop whenever we come to Preston, ID. Of course it's about the only thing in Preston. Home of Napoleon Dynamite. Great raspberry shakes which are a must have for me.

The food here is really good :) I enjoy their loaded burritos and tater tots. But they are very very slow and expensive.

The food is to expensive and has the same quality as Burger King or Wendy's. Just go to another restaurant while you're in town.

There is not an option for negative stars. The freshly fried potatoes like objects were somehow…read morecold and greasy. Now I mean greasy like an old mechanic pit. My fingers were shining after the first fry. The buns were stale. And the rest of the burger was as distinct as Kevin from accounting. The wait was just shy of eternity. The level of service was as expected. Wing a gas ration attached restaurant. The chicken strips whole okay. Half were undercooked... rawish. Just go to the Burger King instead. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

My wife and son stopped at this location for the Chester's Fried Chicken about five years ago, and…read morehad great memories of the food despite the gas station "diners and dives" ambiance. The couple times since that we have driven through Preston we've said how we needed to stop again. Four of us visited today for a Saturday lunch and the chicken strips were (mostly) unappetizingly dry. They were out of the chicken thighs; the substituted drumstick was okay yet the breast also very dry. They asked what sauce we wanted with our chicken yet forgot to bring it out till we asked a second time--and they brought BBQ rather than the honey mustard requested. They forgot our hand-cut fries till we asked twice--and while being a large serving, were a bit overcooked. The coleslaw tasted like it was left over from yesterday. I would have taken it personally, but the other two tables of customers in this small store (with three employees at one time in the kitchen!) also had terrible, slow service and orders needing complaints and corrections. The employees seemed more interested in chit-chatting among themselves. Can't recommend a place only for the fry sauce ;)
