I needed to wait some place while my Honda was being serviced and I choose Burger Theory. They are across the street. A Honda shuttle drove me over and I had breakfast. It was good. The eggs were sunnyside up as I requested. The yolks were a little too cooked, but they tasted good. The toast was nice and hot and crunchy like toast should be. The ham had a nice taste and complimented the meal well. I had water and coffee to drink. They had a nice packaged creamer and honey so my coffee tasted good. As I was waiting for the shuttle I was able score a table in a corner looking out to where the shuttle would show up when it came to pick me up so I could relax and enjoy my breakfast. The service was good, but they didn't fill my water on time. But they eventually did fill my water. I will return. I've heard their burgers are good! read more

I'm a local and like coming here for a good burger with little to no wait time to be seated. In a Friday it's not crowded. The service has been good. The food is tasty. I like the tacos burgers and onion rings. They have full bar too. There are quite a few tvs with sports on. We come here once a month for date night read more

Breakfast was AMAZING!! Really! wasn't expecting much from a burger joint but who ever you've get behind that grill this morning killed it!

We are at Burger Theory this evening with a large group and Lyssa waited on us and was great. She was very patient with all the chaos that came with our group. We had 5 little children. ***** :) read more

Good food , one server doing it all guy with the hat doing his best. While the other three focused on breathing and hair placement one seemed confused how many sets of silverware per table. You could probably sell more food, desserts, and drinks if the service was better. It's too bad he doesn't have better help I'd hate to be here when it's busy read more

great service, good food and quiet atmosphere. Makynna was a great server. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast

Come here every time I'm in town for work. Great place and friendly people. The bartender Wendy is is the best and you have to ask her about the secret menu! read more

For a hotel restaurant, its not bad. If you are staying and just go downstairs for dinner, its great. We drove out to eat here. It was just ok for the price and selection. Very average burger place. Would not recommend to others, but would not discourage either. Just middle of the road meh read more

Good food, great service, and conveniently located as it's connected to the hotel. We would definitely eat here again.

Food was delicious as was the martini! Our service was friendly, attentive and welcoming. Reastraunt was clean comfortable and attractive. Will definitely be back! read more

The menu is overpriced. I've ordered a few times here and most times the burger was burnt.

Every time I come here (staying at the Holiday Inn) the food is worth it but the service. For the love of God, man. Focus on some customer service and quality training for your staff. There's rarely anyone at the front so clients that want to be seated are not acknowledged in a timely manner. Best bet is to go straight to the bar and order to go. You will have tons of time to have a drink while you wait. At NO time should all employees be in the back with NO ONE in the front of house. This happens a LOT here. Be prepared to feel like an afterthought. But, I'm telling you. The food is good. read more

We had a wonderful meal here. Our server was so enthusiastic and friendly. Our burger and onion rings were delicious. It's so nice to have a restaurant in a hotel, especially a great one. read more

place is awesome sauce, sadie also made my night way better! overall great experience, good food, all for decent price.

HIDDEN GEM! I have read the reviews and was skeptical of trying this but I just wanted to get a beer and have a good burger with some good company and wow did they deliver, I would say the wait wasn't too bad but coming here at 8pm on a Saturday no more than 10 min did I waifor someone to come and ask if there was anything we needed! Took some suggestions the shrimp was FANTASTIC burgers DELICIOUS and might add fries AMAZING. I think places deserve a second chance and this restaurant is it. Thanks for an amazing food experience. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars! I went to Burger Theory for the first time to watch the Spud Kings game. I was not disappointed. The staff treated us like royalty. The food was amazing as well. I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

I'm staying at the Holiday Inn for Memorial Day weekend on a family visit and we came down for a late lunch after checking in. I was worried about the negative reviews, but we sat at the bar and the service has been PERFECT and the food is tasty. It's nothing fancy, but they have a full bar and a decent casual burger joint menu. read more

This rating is for the breakfast and customer service only. I have not tried the burgers yet so I cannot form a review on them. When I walked in, it took a couple minutes for them to come to the hosting station. I ordered it to go and let's just say this was not a quick experience. I looked at the menu for a couple of minutes and then was ready for my order to be taken despite there being only a few customers it took ages for my host to return. When I was ordering the host did not speak up I had a hard time understanding what was being said. The atmosphere of burger theory was nice. There was some nice decor. The cleanliness seemed mediocre. The food itself tasted pretty good. I ordered the malted waffles. They were tasty and warm. They weren't overcooked. They were served with some fresh fruit on the top and the fruit was not quality. It was way too ripe, and the presentation of the food was not well. I would not recommend the breakfast at Burger theory, but who knows the burgers may be delicious. read more

I love their Ultimate Sriracha burger and the fries. Service is very slow though. I usually stand at the entrance for a few minutes before being seated. The waiters rarely refill my drink. I really love the food and the calmness of this place, and I don't mind spending 50-60 when I come here with my partner. I just hope the service gets better. read more

Best crispy onion rings in town. The burgers are awesome as are the shrimp appetizer, get two if you're taking you sweetheart. The service was very friendly and it one of those atmospheres where you feel like you've known them for years. My wife and I really enjoyed our waitresses. It is a bit pricey, but with the quality of food and exceptional service you get, it is very well worth it. I wish I would've found this place years ago. read more

Took my wife and I out on a date day. And decided I wanted to check out this restaurant ever since hearing of his new it is to the area. So I've decided that we should check it out. We started with spicy shrimp as a starter. Was amazing in fact after we completed it, I had to check to see if we had at less one left. Also the need to eat when you come in and check is the ultimate siracha burger check it out if you can't decide. Also the sweet potatoes fries is a perfect match for this burger. One thing I would improve on us drink coasters, our table was beginning to become wet due to cup sweat from our drinks. Overall great service and amazing staff. Love the restaurant appeal and size. read more

Edible, but barely. Had the classic and it had a weird, cheap tasting cheese. The fries were soggy as was the pickle. Server was decent enough, but slow, and my soda never got re-filled. We came here because we saw a sign that read, "voted best burger in Idaho Falls". Maybe best school lunch burger in Idaho Falls, maybe... Oh, and it wasn't cheap. read more

High end smash burger chain with great food. I love finding places like this and looking for them in other cities on my travels. It's in a hotel (kind of), but don't let that discourage you. Still a great experience and fantastic food. read more

Tables that were seated after us got their food before us. Somehow our order got lost. They were very apologetic and comped desserts. Cheesecake with strawberry topping was good. Nice presentation. Burger is bomb! Cooked nicely. Too much sauce but everything else was great. Onion rings so good! I appreciate the effort but more communication between employees is essential to making things work. Idaho says people are supposed to wear masks. Signs are in the restaurant that say IHG cares about customers and staff are wearing PPE to protect us. The hostess/ manager (?) was not wearing a mask. I didn't see any gloves being worn either. COVID is real y'all! read more

We stayed at the hotel for three days and tried many different menu items. Hands down, the chicken tenders are the best thing on the menu! They have a buttermilk batter and are light, flaky and delicious! We have tried chicken tenders at many places and these are some of the best! read more

Great food, great service. Just passing through and thought we'd check it out. Nice clean and comfortable.

We were surprised that the restaurant is in the same building as the holiday inn but the entrance was separate which was nice so we decided to give it a try. The servers could use some training. Our older female server got our daughters order wrong so the rest of us were done eating by the time her food finally came out. The server did not offer to take it off the bill. Our burger was delicious and the shrimp appetizer was ok but had enough sauce for two orders. The Mac and cheese was probably just Kraft box macaroni and cheese which was disappointing and cold. The fruit she ordered for her side was canned fruit cocktail. Overall they could use some simple improvements in quality and service. read more

We started with the firecracker shrimp. There are only 6 shrimp, but they are tasty little guys! We thought the burgers and fries were delicious. The hostess seated us right away, and it took us a few minutes to decide what to order. Based on other reviews,we knew this was not fast food, but we didn't feel like our wait was unreasonable. I was expecting more of a "diner" feel, but felt like it was a very nice ambiance. We will return. read more

When we arrived we brought the crowd. The multiple large parties were welcomed but appeared to increase the expected demand on the staff which may have been out of the norm. The food met our expectations and was made to order. The servers were friendly and willing to accept our over the top antics. The ambience was a family style restaurant with a bar in the middle of the room. Which made it really a bar that had seating. Great food and friendly people. Great late night stop after our event. read more

Even though this is attached to a Holiday Inn, don't let that hold you back. This was one of the best meals I had while in Idaho Falls. The burger was a good size, fresh and cooked to how I like it. So glad I choose this over other "burger" places. Excellent service and great table service while watching sports on the TV's...... so happy with my choice. Thank you for the great burger and service. read more

I don't generally leave negative reviews, but this place is egregious. I stay at the Holiday Inn often for business, and my experience is always the same. I've had breakfast here 8 or 10 times as a meal voucher is included with my hotel stay, and the place is conveniently located next to the lobby. The wait is always, without exception, far longer than is reasonable, even with short staff. This morning I waited nearly 25 minutes for a simple omelette with an English muffin and coffee. The service is unfriendly, bordering on hostile, every time. This morning my food, which was to-go, was carried out sideways in its bag and just sort of carelessly tossed down onto the bar in front of me. I get that it's a morning shift, but that's no excuse for the poor and slow service. Lastly, the food is far too pedestrian and mediocre to justify the wait times. My omelette was runny in places and under-salted. The English muffin I ordered was served as a single slice of white toast. The meatless burrito I ordered last time was served with bacon. The coffee is weak. Given that this has been my experience every time I've eaten here, I feel that I've given them enough chances. I'm going to stop getting the breakfast voucher with my stay and start getting my breakfast somewhere else. read more

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn where this restaurant is located, and received a voucher for breakfast with my stay. The breakfast was really yummy. The service however, was horrible. We were one of three occupied tables in the entire restaurant, and still waited for almost an hour before food appeared at our table after ordering. Had my breakfast not been free with my stay, and had I not had a granola bar in my purse to keep me from losing it completely, I would have walked out. I'm not sure what the issue was, or why it took so long, but a nearly hour wait between ordering and getting your meal seems a little insane to me, especially considering they weren't at all busy. Don't come here for breakfast... just don't. No breakfast is worth waiting that long for. read more

We dined there a couple of weeks ago. I would have left my review sooner, but I needed to calm down after my experience. From the time we were seated until we left it was almost 2 hours. We were a table of four, and there were only 4 tables seated, so not too complicated, you would think. It took 10 minutes or so before our server asked us what we wanted to drink, another 10 or so minutes to get the drinks. Our drink order arrived and 2 of the drinks were wrong, so another 5 minutes waiting for the correct drinks. It was another 10 to 15 minutes before the server came back to take our orders. It took 40 minutes to get our orders and of course 1 was wrong, so another 10 minutes waiting while everyone else was eating. The server only refilled drinks 1 time, and never came back to check in after they dropped our meals off. Everyone was done eating and after sitting there for 20 minutes, my husband was mad enough that he went to the bar to pay, because we didn't see us getting our tickets anytime soon. read more

The restaurant is very understaffed and the employees there don't seem to want to even try. Waited for over 20 mins to even get an employee to even acknowledge my presence. Food was cold when the finally brought it out (over an hour after ordering) and the employee just shrugged their shoulders and said "well we are busy" and walked off. I have enjoyed this restaurant in the past but unfortunately it is not doing so well lately, hopefully they will get back to where they were. read more

This place is inside a Holiday Inn & Suites and there were two other tables seated in the entire restaurant. We are on the patio which was A huge positive for this restaurant as we couldn't find others in the area that offer a patio for breakfast. Our waitress was great. Cons: The service is SLOW! We waited for over 30 minutes after ordering our breakfast. The food was meh. read more

Over priced for the portion provided. Ordered the Lonestar burger and fries but there was no onion rings on it and it was the size of a single McDonalds cheese burger. As seen on their menu Lonestar $13.50 Cheddar cheese, bacon, onion ring, bbq sauce. The bartender didn't know how to make the drink I ordered. The fries were good. But that is it. Couldn't find the waitress or any employee for that matter in the kitchen or the back to have them fix my burger. I yelled as loud as I could to get there attention in the kitchen area. Will not return. read more

I heard really good things about this place. I finally had the chance to try it when my son came to town. We showed up for a late lunch, and there were two other groups in the restaurant, one at the bar and another at the booths. We stood at the front for over 10 minutes before we were sat. We ordered our food, firecracker shrimp as an app and bbq burger, and the fish and chips. I will say that the food was actually pretty good. What I didn't like was the amount of time it took to get the food. I would hate to go when they are busy. My 2 cents. read more

The wrap I ordered was not worth eating, but the staff are so friendly worth over looking.

It always boggles my mind when a great place Has harsh reviews, this is a perfect spot to have a really good drink and the servers and bartenders are great people who work hard and are entertaining. I've had breakfast there several times and the biscuits and gravy is a delicious choice there's bits of sausage in the gravy and the biscuits are thick but still fluffy.. I consider myself a bit of a picky person with breakfast and this place is spot on! I have been in for drinks and sat at the bar it's a great vibe and the old fashioned was made perfectly... if you're in the area I would for sure give it a go. I think the interactions are as important as the food and this place has a great balance and should be appreciated just for that I think the rush in and out attitude is lacking intent of what going out to eat/drink is, it's an experience... read more

Place came highly recommended and we liked it. Surprised not many locals do according to yelp. It is somewhat longer drive for us so the speed of service is not so critical and after we already overspend on gasoline we are less likely to drive around comparing prices I was pleasantly surprised that all our burgers, fries and everything else like coleslaw and ice cream was tasting great. Good job. Really awesome place much better than Red Robin in Poky or any similar places. If you are a sports fan there is also an option to watch a game while you eat. They have some original sauces and meat gets cooked to order. So no matter what the theory was I'd say that we succeeded in putting it to practice and enjoyed the whole process. We surely will come back sometime in the near future. I like the option of building my own burger and few classic ones. The only thing I could have done differently if I owned the joint I'd probably rename the KGB sauce. But that is just me. read more
