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.

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 only problem with this place, particularly for a tourist who may only get one opportunity at a…read moremeal, is what the heck to choose from the menu, which has too too many things from which to choose. We got a chicken bacon ranch wrap and a Brisky Burger that comes topped with that slow cooked brisket. And the cactus tails (onion strings) and cheese curds on the side. I mean doesn't that already sound like a killer selection of food...in just one meal! Postscript: the burger is to die for excellent; Not so much the wrap, although the avocado salsa makes it good. The cheese curds have never been my thing, but these are great and the onion straws are delish too. Oh and the final thing...light lemonade with no-sugar strawberry sauce...wow!

As a BYUI alumni who's been to the original location before they moved to this location and this…read morelocation when it was new as a student, I was so excited to take my husband who had never been before. I was raving about the brisket stacker, lemonades, and the cheese curds. When we arrived, it looked just the same, but definitely a bit worse for wear. A lot of the murals on the walls are dinged and need some TLC. The bathroom was honestly pretty gross too. Our service was good and attentive. The drinks were exactly what I remembered. The cheese curds were even better than when I remembered. But the brisket stacker felt wrong. The brisket was cut differently and honestly was a bit tough, and you used to be able to put on any bbq sauce since all the sauces were on the table, but this was prepared with another barbecue sauce. Did I have fun? Yes, was it hard for the memories not to match in my head? Totally. Will I be back to Rexburg? Probably not.

Don't miss out on the freshly squeezed lemonade--refreshing and delightful. Family-friendly, plenty of seating, and you can watch how they make your pizza. Award-winning for good reasons! Less than $40 for a huge pie that feeds 4 people.

We ordered the Bee Sting/Godfather pizza. The Bee Sting has Crushed red pepper, oregano, assorted spicy Italian cured meats, ricotta, & Howells Honey, fresh mozzarella, pecorino Romano, crushed San Marzano tomato sauce, olive oil. I never thought of putting honey on my pizza. Honestly, you can barely taste it. The Godfather has Italian sausage, cup-and-char pepperoni, sliced meatballs, provolone, mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, pecorino Romano, crushed San Marzano tomato sauce, oregano. We ordered the New York crust. It was crispy and it held its shape. The sauce was not overpowering and blended well with all the spices The Dessert Katie Kay pizza was amazing. It had strawberries, blue berries, strawberry gel, fresh whipped cream and powdered sugar. What a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
