Stopped here on the way home from Yellowstone. Burgers and shakes were great! I ordered the mushroom bacon burger. The bacon was thick and the mushrooms plentiful. My husband ordered the Man vs Food burger, but on a smaller scale (1 lb instead of 2). It was huge! Guess who is having leftovers? read more

Excellent burgers. Friendly service. Don't drive past. Stop and eat. You will be full for a long time.

On our first road trip west, we ended up having to take a few days off. That's not uncommon due to some health issues, but we don't always get lucky with the places where we have to stop. We did this time mainly because Big Juds was practically in the parking lot of the motel we stayed in. We were there in 2005, so it's possible that things have changed but the burgers and fries were good enough that if we ever make it back to that part of the country, we're going to stop at Big Juds. read more

This food bussin for realllll. Like no cap. Massive paddy I recommend eating here huhhh yuhhhhh

Always a great burger and Huckleberry ice cream! This is the location in Eastern Idaho near Island park and the food is consistently good. The fries and fry sauce are the best in the area and I recommend the huckleberry shakes! read more

See all

This is the kind of down-home, unpretentious place where I love to eat. Their cheeseburgers taste like local cows and their fries still have the taste of Idaho soil on them. If you don't like Big Jud's you can't be from Idaho, so your opinion doesn't count anyway. read more

My boys and I accidentally arrived here because the subway counter was closed. Thankfully this place was open until 10pm. The staff were very friendly and happy to serve us. We really enjoyed the food, especially the fresh cut fries. What I got a kick out of the most was how squiby the joint was- nasty old carpet, uncomfortable seating and it all represents Idaho; Napoleon Dynamite style. The state is like one giant 1970 pit in time and this restaurant helped me feel the vibe full on. I will return many more times. read more

Food is 3 stars but the sheer filth of the restaurant and restrooms bump it down to 1 star. Burgers are good, fresh cut fries are good and the service is very slow. Ooh, and did I mention the filthy dining room? Don't lean on or touch anything, check the ketchup bottle for long hairs, ours was a lucky one with hair. I won't even write about the bathroom since you may be looking for food options. Does Fremont county have a health department? read more

It's these kind of places that make me wonder if any inspections are ever done. Filthy, dirty and old. Service is slow and no one really cares. Weird place read more

This place is delicious! I'm not sure why some past reviewers are so crazy about what the bathroom looks like. I tend to eat at places based on their food... not their bathrooms, but I digress. The hamburgers are some of the best I've ever had and you can't beat the fresh cut fries. They have a large variety of different types of burgers. I got the bleu cheese burger and I was extremely satisfied with it. Listen this place is a little "divey", but if you are looking for an excellent burger and fries, then stop in. read more

I went in today for a take-out order. I saw my onion rings finished and on the counter after about 10 minutes after I placed my order. 20 minutes later, my burger was placed next the my box of onion rings. Another five minutes, and they finally brought my order to me. 35 minutes from placement of order until delivery is unacceptable. Cold and soggy onion rings made it even worse. I've been here before and was satisfied. I hope the problem is just due to understaffing typical with these Covid-infested times. read more

If you're traveling through Ashton and haven't hit Big Juds yet, you've got to give it a shot (there are also Big Juds restaurants in Archer and Boise). The place has a huge menu full of bugers, sandwiches, and ice cream, and I don't recall ever being disappointed with my choices. I'm not saying they're the best I've ever had, but it's a good value for the price. If you've really got to feed the beast, try one of the burger or ice cream challenges. read more

Got a hankering for a Big Big Burgers then this is the place. The hamburger filled the the plate and fed 5 people. I recommend the double patty to balance out the ratio of bun and meat. The fries were ok I suggest the restaurant put sweet potato fries on the menu. Big burger small town. read more

So slow. We have been here an hour and still don't have our food. People that sat down after us have theirs. This is pathetic!!!

My family love coming here! We always get their 1 lb hamburger, an I can barely eat a quarter of it. The meat is delicious, and the atmosphere is so fun. The food tastes great, and I love their huge ice creams. This is the place to come with a big appetite! I'm not sure why the reviews before were not so great, but the attendants I've had have been really friendly and we got our food pretty quickly. read more

Big Juds - Burgers Near Me - Ashton, Idaho

I have a fugitive recovery dog in training and the owner and staff here were Awesome ! awsome Food will definitely be back again !

Visiting in Ashton area/Yellowstone, busy place, good sign. Hardly. Trash, straw wrappers, napkins, fries, strewn all over floor. Sign said, Find Your Table and we found a clean one. Ordered grilled cheese sandwiches. Waitress returned and said, "I am sorry. There is a group of 16 ahead of you and it will be one hour before your grilled cheese is served." The waitress was very polite and to their credit, a few waitresses began cleaning before we left but that dining room was absolutely filthy. The Idaho Health Dept or Robert from the Food Channel show would have closed the place down in a heartbeat. read more

Well where do I start hmmm..... the food was great. Fries were a la cartel so they didn't come with the hamburger and if I ask for a small -the portion is actually enough for two people. The burgers were very tasty- we ordered the cheeseburger. Bacon cheeseburger, spicy chicken club and a spicy chicken. The spicy wasn't spicy but other then that it was yummy. The chicken tenders were great also. The only downfall about the place was it needed to be upgraded. The service was friendly and pleasant. And when u are done u can walk on through the convenient store and grab something. read more

We are leaving fat and happy! Excellent cheeseburger and homemade fries. Loved the novelty of the 1 pound burger. Fed 3 of us for under 20 bucks. The service was awesome too and fast even though it was lunchtime Saturday. They share the bathrooms with the truck stop and they are nasty but the restaurant itself is clean. read more

Big Juds - Burgers Near Me - Ashton, Idaho

Food not food, small portions, very small chicken salad, way over priced. Large order of fries, tots, and onion rings are small amount for the prices read more

Worst service I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. It says to seat yourself, we tried but every empty table...about 10 of them, had not been cleared of plates and trash. We finally picked the least messy table, and I tracked down a waitress to see if we could get it cleared. She said no, and to move to another table....which keep in mind they are all dirty. So we cleared one ourselves. While ordering the waitress was rude and condescending, granted she was a teenager. When we placed our order we asked if we could have some wet naps to clean the table, we were refused. Then we asked if we could please be moved to a booth once one was cleaned off. She refused saying it would be easier on her to stay at our table...which is sticky and we cleared off ourself. This is at 2:30 pm Sat, Sept 21st. 2019. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place until they make it decent. I am worried about the kicken sanitation quality if their eating area is any indication..... read more

Big Juds - Burgers Near Me - Ashton, Idaho

Amazing burger! I had the Jim J and the flavor was great. Fries were also tasty. The portion sizes for fries is huge so dont over order. Onion rings were also spot on. The joint looks sketchy because it's attached to a gas station but don't shy away! read more

Dirty. Worst service ever. Waited over an hour for our food. Calling health department on this dump.

Tradional stop for our family many times each year on the way to cabin. This year the evening staff is so rude & lazy we are stopping in Rexburg instead as we need to eat by this point in the trip. Irregardless of the day of the wk or how many customers. read more

Delicious food. It's really too bad that the waitresses are rude and the service is terrible.

Called an order in and ended up waiting and hour longer than they said it would be. Very rude girls working that wouldn't let us sit down even, since it was a to go order. Won't come to this location again. read more

Amazing food for the entire family! We always get the Big Judd special as a couple and split it and still end up taking half the food home! The home made hamburger buns are the best! read more

Oh My gosh. Hannah hossner is the greatest cooker in the whole world. Her burgers are just wonderful

I want to like this place more, but every time I go I find myself thinking how the burger is just okay. They are known for their enormous burgers, which are fun but even more mediocre in flavor. There just aren't many choices in Ashton, so we keep giving them a try, but every time it is just decent. Burgers are just too dry. Be aware they also no longer accept restaurant.com gift certificates (which we didn't find out until paying out bill, which was particularly frustrating since they are priced a bit high but that seems common for many places in Ashton since they know choices are limited so they can charge more). Not only did they refuse to accept the gift certificates, the owner made the teenage waiter tell us instead of coming out to explain and apologize. They really need to put up a sign on their door notifying customers before entering instead of not finding out until you pay and they don't make any accommodations. Poor customer service. read more

Our food was tasty, good value, (chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese) and the service was fine. I just can't get over the lack of cleanliness. They had candy machines on the tables which were covered with old food. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in days and the tile looked even more disgusting. I almost wanted to tell my 3 year old to go to the bathroom outside because the restrooms were equally as filthy. Its too bad because the food was great, but the appearance of the restaurant made it a little unappetizing. read more

I have got to say. Yum! My husband and I came up to Ashton for a quick trip away from Yellowstone and Targhee. Happened on this place as one burger joint we were going to try was closed and I couldn't be happier. The food is legit. I'm a New York foodie after living there 7 years and this place would have brought me back. Don't think - just go if you are in the mood for a burger....and maybe a malt shake. read more

I must say the food here is excellent. The staff is friendly and took care of me right away. Anytime I am trucking down US 20 I will be stopping here for sure. read more

So I went in to big Judd's to get some take out about two weeks ago. It looked like they were at the end of their dinner rush so I cut them some slack and waited about five minutes. During this time several waitresses made eye contact with me yet never acknowledged my presence. The dining room was filthy and so was what I could see of the kitchen. After five minutes of standing and being locked at by people who obviously didn't want my money i left and I won't be back again. read more

Great place for a malt and burger. They have giant burgers. Awesome tots and a nice selection of I team and shakes.

Slllooowww! Lots of food and fun but they can get overwhelmed quickly. The diner is in the back of a gas station. It can get busy though because the food is good and they have fry sauce. Great for burger after coming out of the mountains or fishing. read more

Food was great! Traveling from Oregon to Illinois and just stopped in for a bite to eat. We didn't have to wait a bit! Great job serving

Decent burgers. Great fries and great fry sauce. This Big Juds could use a remodel to the inside. It is a little bit run down, but also provides character. read more

It's a good thing the food is tasty here, it sure makes up for the crappy service. This is only my second time coming in and we've had the same waitress. She threw us our food and never checked on us once both times we visited. I had to go up and ask for boxes. I wanted to love this place. read more

I've been here often, the burgers are really good, not outstanding but good. If you haven't been here you have to get the big burger just for the novelty but I really think the smaller burgers are better. The burger bun is specially made for them and is outstanding, just a fantastic bun. The lettuce, pickle etc. are always fresh and really compliment the burger. Service is hit or miss. We have had really great service here and we have had really poor service. I often visit both this location and the one in Archer. The service is usually a little better in Ashton and the food is usually a little better in Archer. They also have iron port in both locations which is one of my favorite beverages and tbh a real reason I keep coming back. read more

Excellent Service, Food portions were huge, my double hamburger was about 6" tall, the place was very busy. This place came highly recommended from 4 different people. Would have given 5 stars if they offered Wi-Fi, they are out in the boonies but worth the drive from Rexburg, ID. There was no cell or data coverage at their restaurant. also only one bathroom for the whole restaurant Men and Woman with a long line. The drinks are GIANT. Very fun place. read more
