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.

Love this place, they are open late and are super quick and fun atmosphere! Very retro! If you're interested in gumball machines the one here is pretttty sweet

Best Finger Steaks
Tom B.

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
Ben A.

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!!

The food was good, but it was not worth the experience. If we knew it would take so long we would have gone somewhere else. The outside seating is comprised of patio tables and chairs lining the exterior of the restaurant. It was nice at first, but there's a bee that likes to fly around which even the server was familiar with. We did outdoor seating and getting there at sunset we were sitting there in the dark with barely any light by the time our food arrived (almost two hours to get all our food for a party of four - 4 entrees and 2 appetizers total). The service was friendly but it was awkward seeing some people getting served even when they were seated after us. I loved the chicken wellington and would say that is the most unique dish at their restaurant. The food is overall good quality but this restaurant is probably better catered for pairs who are looking to celebrate a special event together. Indoor seating preferred over Outdoor seating.

It's the perfect spot for hearty, traditional Midwestern comfort food. After all, how can you visit Potato Country without enjoying at least one perfectly baked potato? A little fun (and mostly useless) fact: Potatoes are typically harvested once a year in the fall and stored in underground bunkers. The ones you usually buy in stores are often nearly a year old. And if a potato starts to sprout? It simply becomes part of the next season's crop. The moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a time machine. The interior is warm and cozy, with darker tones, rich red accents, wood-paneled walls, and glass partitions. There's even a mud room and a coat rack ready for those chilly Idaho winter nights. We were greeted and seated almost immediately. Our server introduced herself right away and took our drink orders with a smile. I went with the Ultimate Philly--tender, well-done strips of their famous prime rib, grilled onions and peppers, all smothered in a rich cheese sauce. It came with a side of au jus for dipping and your choice of side. I couldn't resist ordering the Jaker's Baker, a massive Idaho potato loaded with all the toppings. The prime rib was flavorful and juicy, and the baked potato was hearty and satisfying--the ultimate classic meat-and-potatoes meal. When I travel, I love experiencing local flavor, and Jakers delivers exactly that.

The ambience of this restaurant is a rustic feel with the music loud enough to drown out the neighboring people but able to talk with the people at my table without any issues. Now the food!! They provide some rolls and butter to start the meal and they had half off apps, that we didn't partake. I ordered the prime rib with veggies and asparagus (yep wife is wanting me to eat healthier). The prime rib was so tender it melted in my mouth. I barely had to chew it. The veggie and asparagus were very good and completed the meal. I have been here a few other times and I can't complain about anything I've eaten here. Got to stop in if you're in the area.

Rubbing alcohol and numb tinge two drinks in a row then I cancelled the drink it was terrible. Our appetizer was the calamari fries and cheese curds which was a 50/50. The cheese curds are good but calamari fries are not anything more than a handful of frozen calamari with cocktail sauce. For dinner we ordered the steak and coconut shrimp medium cook with man n cheese and asparagus. I'm not happy much. The coconut shrimp was great but the steak was terrible. It was tough and over cooked. Seared with a hard grill mark of burned taste. The man n cheese taste like they boiled it in broccoli water... or it was next to some but idk. The asparagus was good but hung over and was touching the tray and table when placed on the table so not sure what else it was touching in the kitchen. All in all $140 later I am not happy at all. Our poor waitress was unsure if we were going to say something about another thing so she was hesitant to come back. One Dr Pepper for my whole meal. Yes we still tipped her $21 dollars and know the drinks and food wasn't her fault.

Retro Vibes & Massive Portions!…read more ​If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly spot in Idaho Falls, Dixie Diner hits the mark. The 50s decor is adorable, and the atmosphere is so bright and welcoming. ​Kid-Friendly: Excellent kids' menu options. They keep the little ones entertained with crayons, coloring pages, and a small prize, and the kids' milkshakes (complete with a cherry on top) were a huge hit. ​The Food: The menu is extensive. My husband ordered the chicken cordon bleu and I went with the California avocado turkey sandwich. Both were delicious and the portions were huge--expect to take a box home! ​Service: Even though it was busy and packed out, the staff was extremely nice, helpful, and attentive. ​Couldn't snap too many photos since every booth was full, but the food and experience speak for themselves. We will definitely be back!

Meatloaf was good and portion was large. Chips were crispy and salty, yum. Others at table got the whole hog skillet, meatloaf dinner and fish and chips. Skillet was great. Meatloaf dinner was also great with fresh veggies, mashed potatoes and garlic bread. Fish and chips was OK. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
