This trailer has been in the Goodwill parking lot on Fourth, or at various special events around…read moretown, for at least five years. It's popular. It has tasty food at decent prices and the portions are nicely sized. The burgers are dressed well. They even keep the fry sauce in the fridge - very important since fry sauce is half mayo. And they have great specials, like Philly Friday - free drink with a Philly on that day. There are two sizes of combo meals: one with a 16-ounce drink, the other with (I believe) a 22-ounce. The larger drink comes with a free refill and the price isn't much higher. Go for the gusto. I got an elk burger at the Big Yellow Trailer. It was cooked rare - QUITE rare. Elk shouldn't be cooked less than Medium. And I thought the patty was a bit on the cool side. A couple more minutes on the grill and Big Yellow Trailer would have received another star. Next time I'll know to ask for it to be cooked a little longer, and that'll fix this problem. Also, be forewarned: this institution serves fries cut just before cooking and cooked in one pass. They're good. REALLY good. But a once-cooked fry isn't ever going to be crispy - that comes from cooking the potatoes about halfway, raising them from the oil to drain, then cooking them again to completion. If a fry must be crispy to suit your taste, these will not satisfy.

Sweet Lou's was actually down the street and it had some foods that sounded really good. I was seated immediately and my waiter Elijah got my drink order. I asked him what he recommended and he mentioned the Tailgate Eggrolls and a burger. But I was really craving a steak and he said they had a special on prime rib. I'm a huge steak lover, especially prime ribs so I opted for that with the Tailgate Eggrolls. I suppose I was hungrier than I thought after a long day and I ate everything. The 5 Tailgate Eggrolls, a Caesar Salad (not pictured), the prime rib, and a cup of Vegetable Beef soup. The eggrolls were filled with cream cheese, jalapeños, cheese and served with a jalapeño pepper jelly. If you love cream cheese, this appetizer for you. I like crab rangoon, I like jalapeño poppers, and now I like these egg rolls. The Caesar salad was great. Fresh romaine, crunchy seasoned croutons, shredded Parmesan cheese, and fresh cracked pepper. The star of the show was the prime rib. I've had many prime ribs, rib roasts, beef roasts in my life big I've never had one smoked, which was a detail I missed when Elijah was telling me about it. Let me tell you, the smoke flavor was infused with the meat and the seasoning on the prime rib was superb. The addition of BOTH horseradish and aus jus is a nice touch. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Last but not least, the vegetable beef soup was chock full of celery, potatoes, and huge chunks of beef. Hearty and delicious indeed. If you're living here, then I'm jealous Sweet Lou's is here for you. If your visiting, pay Sweet Lou's a visit. Elijah is a fantastic server!

Great food, hospitality, restaurant, and beer. I ordered a flight off of the drink menu and I ended up just ordering all four of their ciders since I was very interested in the flavors.

It has a super interesting dynamic with the peanut butter and jalapeno jam. I didn't have any beer myself but everyone in my family loved their pecan porter, so order that for sure. I wasn't able to see the entire brewery but it looks really cool from the inside. Definitely come here.

When my family and I were first looking to relocate to north Idaho, our real estate agent…read morerecommended this place rather emphatically. It has since become a semi regular place for us when we're looking for breakfast or lunch of the sort that ends up being just about the only meal we'll eat that day. I can't recommend it from experience, but Green Eggs & Ham is what really put Hoot Owl on the map. But for my money, it doesn't get much better than their Ranch Burger. Breakfast or lunch, that's my go to along with an endless cup of coffee and tall glass of ice water. Whoever decided to mix ranch dressing and barbecue sauce deserves and Nobel effing Peace Prize. My wife has tried a number of their omelette and scramble offerings and never been disappointed. And then there's the cinnamon rolls. Brace yourself because it's literally the size of your face. Dripping in frosting and served with roughly half a cube of whipped butter, the cinnamon roll is an event unto itself, and definitely a prime item for sharing with the table. The atmosphere is very cozy and...Rural. It feels like something out of a period film; very down to earth and eclectic with lots of owl knickknacks all over the place. If you've a bad back or bad posture, I'd recommend a table over a booth as the booths are a little short in the seat and very straight backed. Parking is usually not bad, even when they're busy (which is often), but it's in a dirt lot that shares its real estate with a drive through coffee shack. Lots of potholes at the entrance, so depending upon your vehicle, get ready to slalom a bit. The restaurant offers free WiFi to guests and is relatively kid friendly with plenty of high chairs, decks of cards at the table, etc. Service has always been friendly and expedient. They recently started tacking on a 3% surcharge for card transactions, but if you pay cash you get a discount...Of 3%. Heh. Anyway, if you're in the area and you want a big meal at a decent price, this place is fantastic. Forgot to mention prices, but a half pound specialty burger with fries ranges $13-$16, and similar pricing on other entree menu items. Get you some.
