A short time later a blond lady walked out of the back room and the older lady said "are you cooking" she said ya I'm a coming I'm a coming I'm multitasking.

I had two goals for this visit: 1) to try the impossible cheese steak (plant-based), and 2) to see if I notice the adding of more meat to all their cheese steaks as their new campaign claims. I ordered a medium impossible cheese steak with onions, mushrooms, and both hot and sweet peppers. My cheese steak came out hot and toasty and I'm happy to report there was noticeably more meat on my sandwich than in the past. Meat kept falling out as I bit into it! As for the impossible part and it being plant-based, it was actually pretty decent and flavorful. I normally don't eat plant-based meat due to the over use of sodium to flavor, but this was pretty close to an actual cheese steak. There were plenty of mushrooms, onions, and peppers and enough melty cheese to leave me walking away full and satisfied.

The food was responsible for the least enjoyable eating experience I've had in the last decade, for Mexican food, maybe ever. The scarcity of meat in both the enchiladas and the burrito makes me suspicious of some sort of pollo shortage, and it may be coinciding with a shortage beans and rice, as the two tablespoon portion of both left us wanting, just not wanting more of those items, as they were also inadequate. They must have cheap drinks to retain business, unfortunately we were not imbibing, and even if we were, I believe the experience would be sobering. This would all be well and good if it was a place you could get a quick sloppy bite to eat that came with a shockingly low price tag, but it's priced the same as rancho viejo or any other Mexican restaurant that offers charming wait staff, flavorful food, and solid portions.

Didn't want to take my order20 mins before closing. "Warned me it would take 15 mins to cook my order and they closed in 20 mins". DUMB. terrible " customer service". So many more options. Dairy Queen in Rathdrum was awesome and the burger was better than Zips anyway. I worked at Zips in Moscow for Kelly Minor when I was in college. His standards were WAY higher. We accepted orders until closing time, later if it was busy, and never " warned" customers about closing time. I hope this is not part of Kelly's restaurants. We live in Sandpoint and the service at Zips there is SO MUCH BETTER. read more

The pickles were softer than I expected. They didn't taste bad; I just wasn't used to the texture. Almost, spongy? The bun was thick and the patties didn't really extend to the edge. To get the meat/bread proportion right, I might have ordered a triple. The tater tots were good, the oil fresh.

And to absolutely HIT IT HOME, they have the most addicting French fries. They're not too crunchy or too soft with the perfect about of salt/seasoning.

This is the original Rogers ice cream and burgers in Coeur d'alene…read more Rogers has become a little bit of a franchise, so there are several locations including in Hayden and in post falls. But this location on Sherman avenue is the original... I think. The burgers at Rogers are really good. Exactly what you'd expect from a fast food griddle Burger. The selection is pretty limited, but that's okay for a burger stand. The ice cream in the shakes are good as well. This location there is only outdoor seating. You order at one window, and then they call your name and the food comes out at a different window. And then you can either take it to go or eat on one of the outdoor tables they have. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. And the food is good. Definitely worth stopping by if you're downtown looking for a burger.

45 Minutes for Two Scoops and a Caramel Sighting…read more We had wanted to try Roger's Ice Cream & Burgers, so on a warm 80-degree afternoon we stopped by for what we thought would be a quick ice cream. There were only a couple of people ahead of us, so we assumed we would be enjoying our ice cream in short order. As it turned out, "short order" may mean something different in the frozen dairy arts. It took about ten minutes just to reach the window. When we finally stepped up, the order window was abruptly shut. No greeting. No smile. No explanation. Not even a glance in our direction. Just bang--and suddenly the window became less of a service window and more of a stage curtain. After several minutes of silence, we considered politely knocking just to make sure we had not become invisible. Eventually, someone inside made brief eye contact, so our existence was confirmed. Still, it took another ten minutes or so before the window opened again. "Can I help you?" That was it. No "thanks for waiting." No "sorry about the delay." Just the efficient warmth of a parking meter. When my wife ordered, there was a minor misunderstanding. She asked for a "small scoop," meaning a single scoop, though "small" apparently is not one of their listed sizes. This could have been handled easily. Instead, the correction carried the emotional weight of translating ancient Greek during a lunch rush. We ordered two single scoops in cups. I added caramel topping for an extra 99 cents, which I assumed meant something more than a caramel rumor. Just as we were about to ask how long it might take, the window closed again. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. At about the 25-minute mark, I began wondering whether the ice cream was being made from scratch, beginning with negotiations with the cow. By the 35-minute mark, our quick ice cream stop had become less of a treat and more of a character-building exercise with spoons. All told, it took just over 40 minutes to receive two single scoops in cups. During that time, no one offered an update, an apology, or even a simple acknowledgment. When the ice cream was finally handed to us, the window was immediately shut again. The caramel topping I had paid extra for looked less like a topping and more like a few thin drizzle lines that had passed briefly over the ice cream on their way somewhere else. My scoop was also noticeably smaller than my wife's, even though we had ordered the same size. I took a photo because, at that point, the picture said it better than I could. I tried to get someone's attention and asked whether the caramel may have been missed or rushed. Without really looking at it, I was told, "No, that's the right amount." And then the window closed again. By the time we walked away, our "quick stop" for two scoops of ice cream had taken about 45 minutes. The service felt cold, rushed, indifferent, and oddly burdened by our presence, as though we had accidentally wandered into a staff-only moment and ordered ice cream. The ice cream itself did not rescue the experience. It was not terrible. It was not bland. It was not the worst ice cream we have ever had. It was something almost more disappointing: completely unremarkable. After decades of eating ice cream in all sorts of places, I cannot remember having anything quite this mediocre. It was barely ice cream one would cross a parking lot for, let alone wait 45 minutes for it. I enjoy writing reviews, and most of mine are five stars. I do not enjoy writing negative ones. But in this case, between the long wait, the lack of communication, the dismissive service, the uneven portion size, and the underwhelming 99-cent caramel appearance, this was a deeply disappointing first visit. A simple greeting, a quick apology, or even a "thanks for your patience--we're backed up" would have changed the entire experience. Instead, we got silence, a slamming window, and a caramel topping that seemed to be practicing minimalism.
