Don't let the exterior of this place stop you from going in. The building doesn't look fancy but we took a chance anyway and I'm so glad we did. We had one of the best burgers and fries we've had in a long time! The burger was tasty, juicy and perfectly cooked. The fries and tater tots are not overly greasy and were also quite good. Service was fantastic!!!! Kendall (I think that was her name) is quite possibly the friendliest waitress I've ever met. She was calm despite having several tables to tend to. She was friendly and she was efficient. The prices aren't too bad either. We had a cheeseburger, fries/tots combo, a kids cheeseburger and two Pepsi drinks, all for $21.00. read more

Let me start out by saying, there's nothing inherently wrong with Big Jud's. Decent food, fun and relaxed ambiance, and friendly with pretty quick service. With that being said though, there's nothing that really makes Big Juds stand out either, especially for the price point. Two Burgers, a small fry basket, and a drink + tip was $35. For the sake of comparison, i could get two bacon burgers with unlimited toppings and a large fry + drink for $3 less at Five Guys, and i also get two burger patties instead of one. Five Guys tastes a bit better too, imo. Like i said though, Big Juds isn't bad by any means, just mediocre. There's just so many better burgers out there that it's hard to justify coming here in particular. read more

For my birthday, we went to Big Juds. Our waitress she took the time to get to know us . Our faith was great , atmosphere also look great read more

If you have the chance to partake in a large home made burger, I recommend you stop by this place. We traveled up here to visit family, and I had to take the family to show how BIG they really were. Staff was great, atmosphere is great, and people are friendly. It can fill up pretty quick, but be patient because it's worth the wait. read more

Wow! Big Jud's did NOT disappoint! We hadn't heard about Big Jud's until this year (our 18th year to visit this area and we only just now discovered it.). I had the regular burger; excellent, meat is so savory. Cooked just right. The others with me had the bacon cheeseburger, it looked fantastic and they loved theirs. We also got the small fries, tater tots, and large onion rings; delicious! And our server? She was great and really sweet too. We finished the meal off with the kiddie cup huckleberry ice cream. We highly recommend eating here! read more

I ordered the Cheeseburger extra lettuce, extra tomatoes, no pickles, no onions. The waiter brings the burger to my table at 7:15 pm on a Saturday night and says they are out of tomato and they must have been out of Lettuce as well because I got light lettuce (the waiter should have told me that when I ordered extra tomatoes) The HYPE is not real - I live near Arco, Idaho and everyone in the office said Big Jud's is worth the drive (45 minutes)... The atmosphere is great - they get a 10 fries Get a 9 Shake (Huckleberry) 8 Burger - I did not want any of the many burger toppings they offer - I wanted the good a beefy hamburger. Very disappointed - I took the hamburger patty out of the bun just to try the meat - it was bland with no flavor at all except for one bite had lots of salt- it could have been ground cardboard... Burger gets a 2 You can get away with running a business like this out in the middle of nowhere but if this was in a major city and operated this way - people will go eat elsewhere. Here is the problem - rather then staging seating and orders - all the orders come in at the same time and they fill the grill with burgers and put them all out at the same time and then nothing for 15 minutes while the next full grill of burgers is cooking - I doubt they even know the concept of kitchen waitstaff flow... total Mom & Pop operation Business acumen and restaurant operation execution they get a 1 read more

Big Jud's - Cheeseburger, Fries & Huckleberry Shake - Burgers Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

Excellent service, food was astonishingly delicious. Fries are to die for, fresh ingredients, at a fair price. Awesome hole in the wall restaurant. I am from South Louisiana, visiting up north. I was a little bit worried on how the food was going to taste considering all the seasonings that go into southern foods. This place blew my expectations out of the water. It was absolutely delicious! Now that I am back home, I am wishing we had a Big Jud's right down da bayou. Looks like I will have to make the 1,500 mile trip back up there to satisfy my craving! I would say it would be worth it! read more

I love Big Jud's... it's my favorite after a long day of fishing. Their service is friendly and the food tastes great!! Their onion rings are some of my favorite not overly greasy and dip it in their ranch. They have the best fry sauce prepared which I appreciate. read more

Crazy busy over the Memorial Day weekend. Staff was very friendly but had to run Aaron's to try and keep up. About a 40 minute wait for a table. Portions are HUGE. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Loved the Swiss and mushroom burger. Fries and tots were a bit bland but the fry sauce took care of that. This location longs like a dive from the outside but the inside was clean and well kept. Fun decor. Off the beaten path but worth a visit for a n new experience and a full belly. read more

Great food and service. The burgers were delicious and the onion rings were some of the best I've ever had They were crispy not oily. So good! read more

Big Juds isn't anything special. The food doesn't taste like much. If you want an OK burger the size of your head, this is the spot, but if you want something that tastes good, go somewhere else. read more

Fantastic burgers and fries so fresh that it feels that they were just dug up, sliced and deep fried. Had a fabulous waitress that made me feel like I was a regular. While the restaurant is a little off the beaten path it is well worth the drive. If you are feeling up to proving how much you can eat you can attempt the Man vs Food challenge of either a 1 pound or 2 pound burger with fries and a soda. All of this needs to be eaten in 30 minutes. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. Always amazing, helpful, courteous staff. Food is always top notch. Prices are absolutely legit!

What an amazing place, the flavors of the burgers and fries! This is a must place to visist

This place is definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the visit! The burgers and fries are simple yet absolutely delicious, but what truly stood out to me was the exceptional hospitality from the staff. I witnessed a moment that really showcased their attentiveness--a woman nearby had her child accidentally spill a shake, creating quite a mess. Instead of frustration, the staff responded with genuine kindness, quickly helping to clean up and reassuring the customer, who was clearly worried about the inconvenience. Their warmth and professionalism were beyond what I've experienced in some high-end restaurants. Great food and even better service--I'll definitely be back! Nothing fancy just a straightforward great burger and hand cut fries!! read more

This is an amazing place. When we lived I Idaho we would come here regularly now we come on the way to and on the way back from Yellowstone. We plan our trip so we can be here around lunch or dinner time. Personal story, years ago (maybe 25) we told our young children that we were going to stop and get a hamburger but we were low on money and we would only get one burger and share it. Since eating out was a treat, they were excited to eat out and never showed disappointment when we order ONE big Jud burger. They squealed when that big burger came out and they've never forgotten that experience. read more

Always good. Still miss the Ortega burger tho as it was my favorite. Fries are perfect

Great tasting food, fast service and clean restaurant. All in all terrific atmosphere.

Portions, portions, portions! Oh yeah! You won't leave here hungry! I'm in love with Jud's French fries. Oh my! My childhood nickname my dad gave me was the "French fry kid" and that name continues today. So when I eat tasty fries, m in heaven. You'd expect good fries in potato country and Jud's delivered. Skin slightly on, piping hot, perfectly salted fries. Paired with a zesty fry sauce! Burgers were equally as good. I don't love the buns, but the meat was juicy and tasty! Cleanliness needs to be improved and had it been better, a five star would have been a tempting rating. read more

Food was Very old school and very fattening. We did try the 1pound burger the tater tots fries and onion rings it was super slow took well over 45 min to get our food and it came cold and wr had to reorder everything and over 15 just to come to our table and and another 15 to bring us drinks. I took one bite of my burger it was so greasy I couldn't eat it. Next time I'll try a chicken sandwich. ;) my husband liked his mega burger my son started crying because his burger was cold and they had to recook it twice before it came out hot. read more

Everything you would hope for in a hole-in-the-wall burger place in small town Idaho! Excellent burger! Service was great!

Big Juds isnt just food its an experience. Tucked away in a little building in what feels like the middle if nowhere. Staff is awesome and friendly and the place is full of locals who know about this hidden gem. Although its not so hidden after appearing on man vs food. The shakes are wonderful with a big selection of unique flavors. A great selection of burgers and massive baskets of fries. My wife and I ordered the 1lb burger and shared it. More than enough food. The bun is fresh baked and the burger was nice and juicy. Prices were a bit high for the area but it feels worth it when you combine the food and the fun. read more

Always always good. Super friendly service and delicious burgers. I haven't tried the ice cream yet, but I'm sure it's good. We love coming and splitting a giant burger for all of us. We will come back over and over. You can't go wrong with Big Jud's read more

Excellent local burger joint. Definitely appears to be a hole in the wall when you pull up, but the burgers are in one word- FANTASTIC! Big Jud's lives up to the hype read more

This place was a weird find. It seems like it's in the middle of nowhere. There is no chance you accidentally find this place. But if you do, woah. Their burgers taste delicious. Huckleberry shakes? Yes please! And that burger the size of a large pizza??? Wow. That's a family meal in itself. Looking forward to going back when I take my kid back to college. read more

I didn't realize that Jud's is not really located in Rexburg; however, it was worth the short drive southward. We arrived at the rather odd time of 2:00 pm for a late lunch and found the parking lot empty. We feared that they were closed; but just then the "Open" sign in the window lighted up. Whew! Lots of options on the menu -- my wife chose the Hawaiian Chicken sandwich, I got the Super Bacon Burger, and we shared a large Fresh Cut Fries. Everything was delicious! Our server Olivia was great! -- she helped us navigate the menu and answered our questions expertly. She also told us that there are other Jud's locations, including one close to our home in Meridian, ID. When I asked about the fries, she explained that the potatoes come from a farm only 2 miles away and that they are sliced fresh each morning when Jud's staff starts work. We could tell that the fries were freshly cooked for our order. Food was served timely, even though the grill likely had to be turned on upon our arrival. The hot grill was not wasted because 3 other groups arrived while we were eating. To sum up, it was an excellent experience! read more

1000000% recommend! Just a hole in the wall middle of nowhere burger joint. We had a group of 12 people, and waited no longer than 30 minutes. Our burgers were all thick juicy and freshly made. THEY OFFER GLUTEN FREE BUNS! (So good I thought it was real bread) You have to order the fries and IRON PORT.. Iron port is a soda that can only be found in a few of the western states. Comparable to cherry coke, but much much better. I'm not a soda drinker, but I highly encourage you to try it to wash your meal down with. Our server was a delight, especially dealing with a big crowd, split orders, and lots of refills. What an amazing experience and unforgettable burger with great service. I got the mushroom burger, my boyfriend the 1 lb burger, and a few others got the Hawaiian or just a classic burger with cheese. Sorry for the long entry but this place is worth the wait, drive and facing the cold for a good meal. We will be back! read more

We're camping at Heise Hot Springs for a couple of days. Took a day trip to Yellowstone Bear World and decided to stop in to Big Jud's for a late lunch on the way back. This little out of the way place in the middle of farm country was well worth the stop!! We enjoyed great burgers, fries, onion rings and milkshakes. Generous portions and very reasonable prices. Our server, Kendall, made our visit extra special - she was attentive, friendly and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this little diner and would visit often if we lived in the area! read more
