If you go to Bear Lake and don't stop at La Beau's...did you even go to Bear Lake?…read more This place is a summertime rite of passage. The raspberry shakes? Iconic. Thick, creamy, and loaded with real Bear Lake raspberries--like a love letter to your taste buds. Bonus points for the crispy fries and good vibes even when the line's long (which it almost always is, and for good reason). Pro tip: split a large shake unless you're ready to commit to a full-blown sugar nap on the beach. Nostalgic, delicious, and totally worth the hype. 5 stars but 4 stars because you do need to be prepared to WAIT in line, for a decent length of time during the weekends.

We came to burger barn because Le Beaus and Zipz were closed, and after eating here, we weren't…read moredisappointed. The burgers are everything you want in a little dive burger. Good meat flavor, the bun is soft and doughy and holds up nicely. I would have liked the meat a little less well done. One complaint I have was I added all the extra toppings and they left off mushrooms, and the portion of the toppings is small. We ordered 4 shakes and everyone loved their shake. One was the bear lake special, dole whip, rasberry ice cream, my son said it was the best shake he's ever had. Butterfinger shake was delicious, Rasberry Oreo was great, and a chocolate banana peanut butter malt, amazing.

For those that like short reviews:…read more For those in Garden City, I'd say that this place is okay. You'll be in about $10-$18 per meal. Ingredients tasted fresh which I appreciated. Word of advice: you'll be fighting for shaded seating, and the shakes are pretty good. But this place wouldn't be my first choice in the area. For someone that likes something more in depth: The Burger Barn is a subtle burger joint with entirely outdoor seating and lots of parking. Though I will say, the lack of shade here is quite a surprise, honestly I was prepared for people to start fighting over the few umbrellas that were available in the seating area. The burgers and shake that we got came out pretty quickly, and I quite enjoyed the quality of the ice cream. The burger was okay, I could tell that the meat was fresh and quality, which I appreciated. Though I will say that the taste didn't knock me out of the park, it just was another burger for me(and they didn't take off the tomato's or pickles that I requested to not be on there). I will say the fries and fry sauce were good. I'd come back for just fries and a shake if I'm back in the area. But with that being said, you do have more classic/iconic Garden City spots for food right across the street. So if those are busy and you don't want to wait, then this may be a decent option. 3/5

It's…read morehard to find a good burger up here because the lack of options, but this but mama pastrami burger takes the cake! It's definitely a long wait for your food but it worth it. They have lot of seating outside next to their restaurant and they each have a covered umbrella for shade. (Don't forget to carve your name into the table to mark you were there!) A lot of the reviews have negative complaints about the fries but I thought they were great! Well seasoned with salt and not a single soggy fry. They will give you two small fry sauce containers so you will need to ask for more to get enough for a large fry order! The raspberry shake is delicious and better than the restaurant next door to it. Not a bad choice for dining out in the bear lake area.

This was my second visit, and unfortunately it was almost identical to the first. The welcome was not very friendly, and our waitress walked by the table several times before finally speaking to us. After that, she never really came back to check on us, ask whether we needed anything, or see how the food was. The next thing we knew, she was dropping off the bill. We ordered two appetizers, but only one was brought out. I also clearly mentioned that I have a food allergy, and she said she would let the kitchen know. Even so, the appetizer arrived with the ingredient I'm allergic to, and nothing was said about it. On top of that, the salad came with the wrong dressing. That said, the seared ahi tasted fresh, and the greens with salmon really hit the spot. The food itself was enjoyable, which makes the service issues even more disappointing. It is hard to overlook a missed appetizer, the wrong dressing, and especially the mishandling of a food allergy. This place has a lot of potential, but the service definitely needs work.

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 The good, food was good and fresh, all hot and made to order, the potato patties were easily the best thing on the plate. The salmon Benedict was super light on the salmon (like 2 thin strips per each piece, actually pretty disappointing for the price.) Chicken in the waffle and the biscuit dish were fried chicken breast (not sponge meat) and hot and juicy. Stuffed French toast was good as well. Overall, not a bad experience given the lake views in the background. Oh, if you park your car in the parking lot out front, BEWARE, a golf ball could hit and shatter your driver side window...like ours got hit. Happy Vacationing

I ordered a triple cheeseburger (not even on the menu!) and they made it for me. It was absolutely delicious.

Chef Robert, we made it through the pass safely. Thanks again for the great food and kindness.

This place has some highs and lows…read more High - the razberry shake is highly legit. They have the old school mixer (the kind you see on re-runs of Petticoat Junction) and I am of the understanding the use real razberries which is an upgrade from the similar shake found at McDonalds. High - clean. Place is a little off but so is the entire town. I noticied one poster commented how the bathroom had no toilet paper. I did not inspect that situation. Low - Took 43 minutes to get the frickin' burger. The burger itself was plain, somewhat tasteless, and generally underwhelming. Burger is a two star situation. Fries were as expected from a town that basically goes out of business after Labor Day weekend. Gift shop analysis - I have no comment. Not the same stuff you find on Amazon though. Pro Tip - use the drive through. The staff is kids, nice and all but just not the brightest group, especially when some tour bus rolls in and the cashier forgot to send a bunch of tickets back to the line cook. That is when problems start. Summary - Eat here in a pinch. Stop in for the shake and cut your losses on the food.

Fresh raspberry cheesecake shake…read more The texture is similar to ice cream; the taste is appropriate level of sweetness. The freshness is top quality; the service is kind and friendly.

An oldie but a goodie!…read more I had to make a stop at one of the oldest shake joints in town. Quick n' Tasty sports the actual "Famous Raspberry Shakes" logo and I was reasonably impressed with their raspberry shake. It was nicely filled with tons of raspberries and the flavor actually comes through. I heard a rumor that they use canned raspberries..but who doesn't when raspberries are not in season? Perhaps that is a temporary solution when they can't get fresh raspberries for one reason or another. On the pricier side, $5.50 for a small (compared to La Beau's regular for $5.99). Either way, the shake tasted great!! I support any Quick n' Tasty fans for sure.

I'd really like to find a place in the Garden City / Bear Lake valley that is just "wow" !…read more This isn't it. Cool vibe, lots of seating, great parking. The food, however, was nothing spectacular or even really good. It was "meh" at best. I ordered the bacon cheese burger. Small, frozen patty, 1/2 a piece of something that resembled cheese, and 1 piece of see-through-thin bacon. The fries were cold and mushy. The wife had a shake that was decent. Smaller than those stirred down the road for about the same price, but decent. I don't have high expectations for beach / resort type towns and restaurants but it should be better than this.
