    Scotty's feels like one of those classic local spots you stop at because people tell you "you have to try it." I went with the steak bites after hearing they're kind of an Idaho thing, and they were definitely unexpected in a good way. Not something you see on most drive in menus. It's a no frills place with a hometown vibe, and it's worth a stop if you're passing through Idaho Falls and want to try something a little different.

    I love this place! In IF for 60 years? We had to try it. Hubs ordered the BMS (mushroom burger) with a huckleberry & KitKat shake. We enjoyed battered onion rings and deep fried tots. Pop in a eat up their great food

    We stop by Scottie's drive-in in Idaho to try some fries that were made from Idaho potatoes. I ordered some fries some tater tots and some drinks. Overall it was pretty good the tater tots were especially better tasting than the fries. This restaurant was kind of run down and did not look as appealing when we first entered. Staff is super friendly and accommodating to our orders and quick to get our food to us. Overall would give it a try if you're in the area and wanting to try some Idaho potato fries.

    Best Finger Steaks

    The best steak fingers and breaded mushrooms I've ever had anywhere normally the steak is dry but here it was moist and the mushrooms were hand breaded. Picnic tables outside when the weather is nice but no indoor seating so it's your car or take out.

    Great Scott

    Scotty's is a pretty standard drive in, right down to the feel of the building, with a small area inside for ordering and plenty of covered seating just outside. It's nothing mind-blowing, but if you want a decent old school burger, then this is a good place to stop. I got the Great Scott combo, which, after thinking about the name, makes sense that it's essentially their version of the Big Mac, although it's more flavorful than it's bland, corporate source of inspiration. The fries and fry sauce were also good - it's hard to go to wrong with fries in eastern Idaho, though. Service was quick and I had no issues ordering or picking up my food once it was done. If I'm ever in Idaho Falls again and need a quick bite, I'll definitely consider Scotty's again!

    Drive In when I was a kid they would deliver on skates!!

    April 2026 Idaho Falls, Idaho…read more I was surprised to see this place is attached to a hotel when I drove up. Typically I do not eat at restaurants that are attached to a hotel. However, Yelp told me it was a 4.3 star place to eat. I asked if they had any nonalcoholic beers. The waiter brings me a can of beer to show me what it is. When I tell him that I will have it. He says well I'll just take it back and put it in a glass. So they bring me a 16 ounce glass with the beer poured in and it only filled 12 ounces. I ordered the Nacho Mama's Dip. It is a chicken nacho dip. The waiter told me it was a large portion so I am eating that just as my meal. My husband ordered the fish and chips. When you walk in the front door, the bar is right there. Pretty large bar for one to sit and enjoy a drink or a meal. To the right our booths and high tables that line the wall as well as some booths in the middle of the restaurant that make you feel like you are sitting under a gazebo. There are tables and booths on the far wall as well. The tables are cut to appear like a live edge wood top table. The booths sit too low and the table sits high. Even my husband who is 6'2 felt an imbalance with the table to chair. My nachos come out and the cheese sauce is dripping off the side of the dish. It is an absolute mess. The nacho chips are off to the side. The toppings consist of black olives and onions with four pieces of diced tomatoes. Accompanied by a side plastic dish is salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. The guacamole is definitely not homemade. My biggest complaint is the cheese sauce is definitely from a can. The cheese that they did put on the nachos was a slice of cheese that was not even melted. See picture. Reminds me that I am eating in a restaurant attached to a hotel. There are no beans. The chicken is mixed in with the cheese sauce. And it is sparingly there. This dish is absolutely disgusting! The fish and chips were terrible. They're served in a basket with four pieces of fish and they sit upon fresh cut fries. The fish was not good. The batter has a odd taste. Perhaps the oil it is fried in? I think I would've been better off going to Culver's and having their fish platter. Although my beYr was in a can, it was very cold. It was truly the best part of my meal. I am so disappointed that yelp led me to this place. This is my warning to others. Stay away. We had two completely different meals and neither of them were good.

    Sully's has the best burgers I've had in Idaho, in fact ever!…read moreBetter than Snake Bite by a wide margin and even better than Big Jud's. You gotta get here quick! Ambience: Clean, well decorated, feels like a pub but a clean one. Staff: lovely and lively wait staff, wonderful food for a fair price, good portion sizes generally. Kristina is cheerful and awesome and her Bento cakes are incredible! Well balanced burgers: I keep coming back for the taste and the size of their 1/2lb burger is just right for us hungry boys! The slap yo granny is my favorite!!! It is sweet, savory, a little sour, and spicy from the pickled peppers, the tiniest hint of bitterness from the greens. The sweetness of the blueberry compot balances the spice and fat from the burger rather exceptionally. And the house made pickles are the bomb. Very messy though especially with a beard lol. The best and most balanced burger I have ever had!!! It's so good I've been around 10 times and almost always get the Slap yo granny lol. I'd miss it to much to try anything else. The samurai burger and russian cucumber is great if you want something fresh but not sweet, the humongous fungus is another really good one. Fries: The epitome of a homemade Idaho fry, but not to greasy which I appreciate. The sidewinder fries are epic and my favorite, and the waffle sweet potatoes fries are great as well. Although the $2.50 up-charge I don't love, especially for the size of the fry. For the upcharge I wish you got a little or a lot more. The regular fry is adequately portioned. They have a really well seasoned made in-house fry sauce that is delightfully smoky and sweet, and balances out the fries very nicely. It is one of the best fry sauces I've ever had, and I have had a lot of them. Constructive criticism: For the up-charge on the unique and tasty fries add a few more or lower the charge a bit. It's the only thing that feels a bit scamish as I've walked away several times feeling like I could have had just a few more I would have been satisfied. I'm willing to admit that's a me problem possibly, that being said I'm not a fatty, I'm actually a small dude, so take that for what it's worth. The Men's bathroom needs a couple updates, a divider for the urnal for privacy for the shy guys, and for those of us who don't want to see some crusty private bits walking in the door. And a privacy bar to fill the gap in the stall, of which you can see into the stall right at the person on the lue, in a slightly larger manner than feels safe, especially for children's safety, it not exactly appetizing for how delicious of a restaurant this is. And Extra points awarded for some of the cool shows playing on the tv's, especially The Bob Ross Channel. The parking is adequate but it is downtown and spots do get full so you may have to look around.

We're not into fries of which there were many options, but you could upgrade to a salad, Caesar salad, or soup of the day. The sizes were enormous! We immediately asked for a to go box, and placed half of each sammich into it. The upgraded sides were great, so we ate them all. The soup was clam chowder; first I'd had in years; it was very tasty and a delightfully little spicy. We split the other half sammiches between us; I found the pastrami to be excellent, the french dip good, but nothing to distinguish itself. When a first visit makes us want to come again, that's always a good sign!

We did not know what to order and they were helpful in recommending a great assortment of picks. Unique for Culver: -Frozen Custard - 5/5 - I love the dessert here.The menu seems a bit complicated because they can serve it a lot of ways with a bunch of add-ons, but I always get their "concrete mixer" as I love getting the mix-ins. Some days the frozen custard is softer than I would like but the flavors are great and hit the spot after a long day. -Cheese Curds - 4/5 crispy pieces of Wisconsin cheese, unique on their menu. Sandwiches and Burgers: -Spicy Chicken Sandwich - 4.5/5 their chicken recipe was recently updated! Mildly spicy with a crispy batter. -North Atlantic Cod Sandwich 3.5/5 - thick piece of soft fish with a thin crisp exterior. Great for a more plain flavor, but you could spice it up with pepper or ketchup. -Culver's Deluxe Burger (pickles and onions on the side) - 5/5 beef which tasted meaty and the vegetables were fresh.
