We found two of our favorite foods in all of Idaho at the Potato Station Cafe: Roots purples with sea salt potato chips and their cheesy tots. I have bought at least three bags of Roots chips since I discovered these at the cafe. They are absolutely perfect. And as for the cheesy tots, they were not at all what we were expecting but they were a super pleasant surprise. They don't look like any tots we have ever seen and we expected the cheese to be on the outside. But these tots had a mix of potato and cheese inside a lightly battered exterior. They were delicious and everything here was super affordable. We should have bought more. I also sampled a potato cupcake and a spud bar. The cupcake was obviously frozen but still quite good. However I didn't personally like the Spud bar, I should have read the ingredients before purchasing, that's my bad. They do have some patio tables in the rear where you can enjoy your food outside, but they are dog friendly inside as well so we sat indoors to enjoy our treats. We had a lovely time here and I don't think you anyone could go wrong with a stop at the Potato Station Cafe.

Stopped here after visiting the potato museum. The baked potatoes are very good. There's a good variety of toppings to choose from. The fries are also very good. They're a nice golden brown, and we were offered either ranch or fry sauce. Service was fast and efficient. You can go here without paying for the museum. There's also a small outside area with tables to sit at. It's also right next train tracks which gives a nice view of any passing locomotive. It's a place that sells different types of potato foods. It's a nice little taste of the Idaho potato.

This cafe is attached to the Idaho Potato Museum and the food is just fantastic - we had a great experience!! Delicious, harty foods on a very cold, snowy day to refuel after our busy museum visit! Decent menu, lots of fun potato candy to try - even cupcakes! And friendly staff - can't go wrong here. I tried their baked potato with poutine on top and it was SO good! My son got their baked potato soup with potato roll and I had a sample taste - best thing we ordered! Creamy and smooth and full of flavor - it was excellent - and the roll that came with it was soft and so delicious. We also tried a couple of their potato cupcakes - one vanilla and one chocolate - both excellent flavors and very soft and velvety. You'd never know they were made out of potato haha! I also grabbed some of their various local candies made from potato - very fun souvenirs and all tasted good. I had no idea you could do so much with potato haha!! There's plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, coffee on the menu, cozy seating - very great addition to our museum visit!

I found this place on yelp and it was on our way back to the hotel so decided to stop by. Idaho is know for the potato state so it is as once in a life time experience. The parking is on the side. There's a giant potato in front. It was my husband, my 4 year old son , and me it cost $12. It is a very small museum but definitely a lot of history in there. It's two large rooms. Then there's a small gift shop and a small restaurant at the end. Everyone is so nice there. If you're in the area stop by.

Fried Potato

After exploring potato museum we decided to try the potato station cafe. From the menu we ordered Fried Potato along with the fries. The service was good and we got our food in 10-15 minutes. The fried potato with different ingredients as well as sauces was amazing and we loved its taste. The fries that we ate were also good. Loved the cafe.

The café at the potato museum in Blackfoot Idaho. I'd be surprised if this isn't the worlds best baked potato it's a russet Norkota

I'd be surprised if this wasn't the worlds best baked potato. It's a Norkotah Russet and it's simply amazing!

The women with medium length red/light brown hair was incredibly sweet. She made my visit there delightful. The potato soup was creamy and rich and was ready quickly. I enjoyed my visit here and to the museum.

Baked potato.

Food was great. Loved the French fries, baked potato and ice cream. But the staff seemed over it and not excited to be there, which slightly ruined the experience.

Rough on the outside, but tender in the inside. Great Idaho potatoes selection in town. They are creamy and delicious.

The food was good but I saw one of the employees take out the trash and make food without washing his hands.

We were driving through Blackfoot on a road trip and needed a place to work remotely from. We saw…read morepositive reviews about this cafe and decided to check it out. The staff was SUPER friendly! So kind and didn't mind us sitting in the corner for a few hours while we worked. The internet worked great! We had both breakfast and lunch here. For breakfast, she warned my fiancé that the pancakes were huge! For lunch we split a sandwich and they split it onto two plates for us, which was so nice of them. Sadly they close in the afternoon otherwise we'd have stayed even longer and kept working and purchasing. It is attached to the gas station shop and shares a bathroom, that's a little weird but the good food and kind people makes up for it. We had "sidewinders" which I'll include a picture of they're the potatoes that look kind of curly, they're delicious!

This place is horrible!!!! We just ordered 1 sausage, egg, hash brown, and cheese breakfast…read moreburrito.. what we got was basically a flour tortilla and specks of sausage, and a few hashbrowns!! We also ordered and paid for an omelette with a side dish of hashbrowns. Didn't get hashbrowns!!! We thought we were the subjects of a practical joke because the food we did get was a joke!!! We want a refund!! I wish I had checked my to go order before driving off. Had I looked in the bag I would have asked for a $18 refund!!

Once you pay admission, they give you a bag of instant Idahoan buttery homestyle potatoes. Pretty funny! They have an outdoor exhibit with old farming equipment off the parking lot. Inside, they have a gift shop and museum with exhibits and cinema. They also have a couple of virtual reality goggles you can check out to see what farming potatoes is like. They have a children's learning area too, with interactive exhibits. At the end of the museum is the Cafe, where you can order potatoes in a variety of ways. We decided on the potato soup and loaded baked potato. Both were yummy! They have a cold beverage case as well. Everything was a little spendy considering what you're buying, potatoes, but it added to the whole fun experience for us! Would definitely recommend.

It turned out to be such a fun, memorable experience for the whole family! ​The exhibits are super informative and give you a cool look into how Idaho became the potato capital. But the highlight for us was definitely the cafe! We made it just before they closed at 5:00 PM and grabbed the waffle fries and the baked cheesy potato,both were absolutely delicious and worth the stop alone. ​If you're traveling with kids, this is a fantastic, quick, and unique place to explore. Highly recommend making it a pitstop!
