Super friendly great food, experienced cook, fast great prices! Great little funky restaurant in farm country, homemade cinnamon rolls, real potatoes, such a nice meal after casino food on the road through Nevada. read more

All we can say is WOW...all the reviews are spot on. The folks here are the nicest. My wife has Celiac, we ordered the Rancher Choice..we shared it and it was more than enough. What impressed us the most was we overheard the owner tell the cook our order was for someone who has celiac, so make sure they clean and scrap the grill before cooking our order. This put my wife so at ease... we throughly enjoyed our breakfast. If you're headed to Jackpot or coming home Helen's Cafe is a must stop. read more

We stopped by here for breakfast on our way back home to Washington. We were immediately welcomed in. Their were a couple of locals sitting at the counter, I knew right away this was going to be one of those hidden little gems and I wasn't disappointed. The server was so nice, my dad had the Buttermilk Biscuits and gravy with eggs, I has the Ranchers Choice, (country sausage, homemade hash-browns, a big thick slice of grilled toast, eggs & what I believe was the best jelly ever) the portions were fit to feed a lumberjack and honestly, the price was very affordable, our bill was less than $25.00. If I lived closer, I'd eat there every morning!!! Best breakfast I had in a long long time. read more

This was a late night visit that turned into an epic experience. We were looking for fine dining but everything was booked. We drove and happen to stop here. They have worn out advertising outside that in no way represents the level of hospitality and home cooked comfort food that lies within. This is better than most greasy options out there for sure. Fun Tasty Memorable. Recommend. read more

We were so hungry we forgot to take pictures of the food. Helen's is a one stop shop with Elaine to help you with all your needs. Burgers, GOOD, French Fries, GOOD, milkshake, GOOD! 18 hours on the road today, thank you for a much needed refuel! read more

10/10 recommend this place. Doesn't matter what time of the day I will always stop here and eat. We drive from Elko NV just to eat here.

Great food! Amazing service! Would recommend stopping in, anytime you are in the area!

THIS PLACE IS VERY MUCH OPEN. The food was fantastic and the company (owner and customers probably regulars) were even more amazing. Loved the experience and is VERY MUCH worth the stop!! read more

My mom and I stopped here for breakfast on our way home from Cactus Pete's. I read the reviews and decided to check out this little gem. We are so glad we did! Ed was the cook and what he cooked for us was divine!!! The fresh bread, homemade jelly, biscuits and gravy, French toast, was probably the best we've ever tasted! Ed is a beautiful soul! Made our entire experience that much better. If you're passing through town looking for some amazing home cooked food, we highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful meal! read more

Driving through Idaho, from Nevada to Montana, we stopped at Helen's Cafe based on other reviews to grab a bite to eat. The place is small but cozy. As we walked in it felt as if everyone kind of looked over at us and then went back to what they were doing. We found a small table off to the side. Kat brought us some coffee and made us feel welcome right away. After settling on the steak and eggs for my husband and the Salmon Dam Slam for myself, we noticed two fresh loaves of bread being placed on the counter. This motivated us to move our seats . We grabbed our coffees and moved to the counter. Anita was cooking and straight away started chatting with us, sliced us a hot piece of bread, fresh out of the oven, as a treat with some butter and her homemade strawberry jam. The food was fantastic, the locals kind, and the whole experience was fun. Highly recommend if you like down to earth people and good food! read more

best breakfast i have had on a road trip in a very long time. homemade bread, cool history, perfectly poached eggs and decent hot coffee.

We got stranded with our infant and a cracked rim on our rig. While we waited 3 hours, Cassie let us sit inside, stay warm and was so hospitable. My husband ended up eating while we waited for help and said the burger was delicious, so on top of it all that was a plus. We couldn't be more grateful. The local chatter was also comforting to hear while this mama stayed calm in a panicked situation. read more

Amazing breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls and huge burgers! A few beers on tap. Decent fries and onion rings.

This place is fantastic. SCRATCH cooking all the way around. Fresh oven hot bread. Scratch made to order beer pancakes. REAL EGGS. Fresh butcher sausage. We drove up from Ely, NV and had breakfast on our way north to Montana. I could sit here all day and try many things on the menu. FRESH jam - homemade. I had Salmon Dam scramble and it was exquisite. My son had pancakes and scrambled eggs and fresh sausage. Fresh salsa served with the scramble also. Not to mention - good strong - And I mean GREAT coffee. Don't wait for Jackpot if you are heading south. And go the 15 more miles up to Rogerson if you are headed north ... STOP AT HELEN's CAFE IN ROGERSON IDAHO!! read more

This place is a really fun little hidden gem, with excellent breakfast and a fun cozy atmosphere. The food was terrific, and all looking forward to coming back. read more

An incredible hamburger and amazing cinnamon rolls. The ciabatta rolls used as buns are perfect. Hot crunchy tots are delicious! However: Awful service, like no cutlery or napkins until we asked for them. A small space and no one is wearing masks. Dingy decor and filthy bathrooms. But it is fun puzzling over why they chose to decorate with what they use. You are greeted by a life-sized Trump and display of Trump hats, stickers, flags, etc. for sale. If that is your thing, then it is your place. Otherwise, it is unsettling. read more

I love this place. I wish I had taken a photo of my BLT before devouring it but alas it's already in my belly. My first day here I had an amazing breakfast burrito. Anita is kind and welcoming and she tried to entice me with her wicked cinnamon rolls this morning. My waist line doesn't appreciate her audacity but my taste buds do. read more

What a delightful happenstance! My son and I were on our way down to Elko, Nevada from our home in South Central Idaho. There was a massive accident with utility trucks and outer emergency vehicles blocking the road for 4 hours. So we backtracked to Rogerson and found this little restaurant attached to the RV park. What a gem! We had a stunningly delicious prime rib sandwich with caramelized onions and mushrooms, an amazing peanut butter cup milkshake and some really wonderful conversation from some extremely friendly folks...small town USA at its finest! Thanks Helen for taking care of us. read more

Home-cut fries, excellent burgers. Whatever the special is it's always top notch. Highly recommend!

Passing this small cafe one the way, it's also a gas station/store and RV park. They were super busy when we were there for breakfast but our food were great! Great people as well, they thank us for been patience with them. Will go again if we are in the area. read more

Best BLT on the planet. The gal who runs it is really welcoming.

Do not miss this hidden gem. A family cafe hidden behind a gas station - in front of a RV park - attached to a convenience store off hwy 93 just north of Jackpot and just south of Twin Falls, ID. It's not much to look at when you walk in but Anita carries on her mom Helen's 75 year tradition of good old-fashioned cooking with a a friendly familial flare. My husband and I were tired and hungry after a snowy drive up from Ely and this was the perfect stop. We felt at home as soon as Anita told us to find a seat and had hot and fresh coffee in front of us before we had our coats off. Minutes after that we felt like locals chatting with Anita and her other customers. I had the scramble and I nearly licked the plate it was so delicious. It was full of tasty ham, sausage, bacon, veggies, hash browns and eggs and I could actually taste each ingredient. The BEST scramble I've ever had. My husband had the ham omelette which was huge and he was just as happy. And homemade toast and jam? Yes please! Thanks Anita- I'm not sure how or when but we will be back. Thanks for the haystack cookie too. Another homemade treat you should try. read more

Wow, this place is awesome and staff are friendly. All the food is made in house and simply very good.

1156 miles of possibilities for a classic breakfast with an authentic down home personality...Impossible to top Helen's Place Cafe! The folks here made our morning and our road trip even more memorable. An absolute "must" for anyone passing through, that can share a smile and make new friends. read more

I literally time my trips from out of town so that I'm in Rogerson at lunch or dinner. Friday is the Prime Rib night and always sold out by 6:30, don't be late. The burgers are amazing and always served with a smile. Breakfast is worth getting up early. Thank you for always being there for a hungry hunter! read more

Helen's Cafe - tucked in with the gas station - Anita (the owner, Helen's daughter) was so friendly, and the food was delicious (definitely try the cinnamon rolls). We enjoyed our breakfast and took food to go! The place is cozy and welcoming; I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. We will go out of our way to return to this cafe on future road trips! read more

My wife, son and I stop in to eat from a trip to Jarbidge, food was great! I had the chicken fried steak (made from a ribeye )- one of the best and tender chicken fried steaks I have eaten, as well as the gravy that was spot on. I've never had gravy on my hash browns before but just might from now on. My wife had the ranchers special..... that consisted of eggs, sausage, hash browns and their homemade bread (toasted). She says the breakfast was and by far the best sausage she has ever tasted ( after tasting it I agree). Our son had a cheeseburger and fries. He doesn't always finish a meal or want to take home leftovers but he did this time. Everything was homemade and tasted great and not to mention their coffee and service was absolutely outstanding. Two thumbs up read more

We travel between Washington and Arizona twice a year on Hwy. 93 and have been looking for a decent lunch spot for a while. Hate stopping in Twin Falls and finally stumbled upon Helen's. Wow! Great homemade burgers, hand-cut fries, onion rings, and cinnamon rolls. I didn't try the real milk shakes but will next time. Friendly family-run business (since 1947 when Helen, the owner's mom, opened it). Don't let the outside appearance deceive you (it's inside the low office/shop at the Sinclair gas station). A place out of time with great home cooking! read more

Cheese burger on Ciabatta bread & Fresh cut fries were really good passing through to Idaho falls
