Tri-tip with Mac
Tamara G.

It was okay. My son got the brisket fries and I got tri-tip with Mac and cheese. The brisket was pretty tasty! He didn't like the fries though. The Mac and cheese was creamy but everything was too salty for us. My youngest son got a burger and fries but also didn't care for the fries. If you get the brisket, I think it's the star!

French fries, tri tip, and turkey

We never pass on the opportunity to eat BBQ in a gas station, so Blister's has been high on our list of 'cue joints to visit in Idaho. Although we were unable to sample the ribs and the fried green beans, what we did try was very good, with an excellent price point. Shelling out a little over $20, we purchased a two meat (tri tip, turkey) platter with house cut fries, a side of scones, and 2 refillable soft drinks. Both meats had good smoke and flavor, with the turkey offering a moist and buttery texture that we thoroughly enjoyed. Both the fries and scones really hit the spot, so much so that we ordered seconds to go. So, once again gas station BBQ really hit it out of the park! Blister's really lives up to its national reputation (Kelli Acciardo at Food Network ranked it in the top 45 nationwide), and we look forward to our next visit.

Inside the restaurant in a gas station

We were hoping we found the Rudy's equivalent in Idaho but not quite We tried the brisket and tri-tip, I would give the tri-tip a 8.5/10 it was tender and juicy but could use a bit more flavor. The brisket was more like a barbecued chopped beef with sauce. It's was good but many of the pieces in the chop were dry, tough, and stringy....7/10. The place was packed and we waited ~ 40 minutes for our food during a weekday lunch hour. Some people waited over an hour for their food. Overall it was good and I would give it another try but was hoping for a Texas Rudy's.

Small pulled pork and fries with large held over it
Helen C.

Ok the angle of my pic makes the pulled pork sandwiches look the same size but rest assured they are not. The small was perfect size for me and the fries were SO GOOD! Located in a gas station, this joint is clean and perfect for the traveler to get some good food. We were on our way to Yellowstone so this was perfect to fuel us for the rest of the day. Highly recommend

The meat was so sour that it was not edible. I can't believe this place has such a high review.

This is, for sure, a greasy spoon…read more If you want something delicious that sticks to your ribs, give it a go. I had the Sioux City and my wife had the Honolulu. Arguably, the Honolulu should be chicken instead of beef in order to have the "correct" flavor profile, but the fried eggs on my sandwich were bomb, and I only had slightly too much cheese (as if that's a bad thing). If you come in to sit down, you can tell that the restaurant's personality is on full display. It's one that will likely ward off those with a political opposition, but as a moderate guy, I found it funny, if only a bit excessive. Having family in the area, It definitely screams local Idaho Falls. Maybe scaling back on jokes that are dated to 2020 and balancing out the toppings and flavor profiles would bump this up to a five star, but as far as a delicious, gigantic portion, this is the greasy spoon you are looking for. Easily a must try for any blue collar worker in the area.

We randomly stopped here while driving thru town. What a find! Loved my Montana Mountain mushroom…read morecheesesteak and my wife loved the BLT. The bacon has incredible flavor. Classic mom and pop, the owner came out and chatted with us for a minute. The pickle cream cheese bites appetizer was recommended by our server and I'm glad she encouraged us to get them. Word to the wise, you only need a medium fry because the large is enormous. We'll be back

We stopped at The Bird while visiting Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and overall had a really good…read moreexperience. We ordered the pastrami Reuben with fries and ended up splitting it between the two of us. It was absolutely delicious and VERY hearty. The portions here are definitely generous, and one meal was plenty for two people for us. One thing that really stood out was how creative the food seems to be. This doesn't feel like a restaurant simply following the standard pub menu. Several of the dishes sounded like things they've experimented with, developed, and really made their own. There seems to be a lot of creativity and personality behind the menu. The sauce served with our Reuben was especially good. It reminded me of a cross between Thousand Island and a Big Mac-style sauce, but with its own flavor. Whatever it was, it was top-notch and went perfectly with the sandwich. The atmosphere is definitely that of a true bar/pub. We aren't drinkers, and alcohol is obviously a major focus here, from the decor to the overall feel of the restaurant. If you're not a drinker, you may feel a little out of place in the main bar area, so that is something to know going in. That being said, they do have a separate side dining room away from the main bar area, as well as a patio that looked like it would be a wonderful place to sit, eat, and enjoy the beautiful Wyoming scenery. The building itself is definitely older and a little worn down. It appeared clean on the surface, but you can tell the restaurant has seen a lot of use over the years and could probably benefit from some updating and a little extra attention in certain areas. At the same time, the rustic, well-used feel does fit the personality of a longtime local pub. Our one meal came to $25.68, so it is certainly on the pricier side for a sandwich and fries. However, this is Jackson Hole, and higher prices are somewhat expected in a tourist town. Considering how large the portions were, the price was a little easier to justify. Overall, The Bird is a fun, quirky, very casual place with huge portions and some surprisingly creative food. The pastrami Reuben was delicious, the sauce was fantastic, and I would definitely order it again.
