I love the food here. We love the portion sizes. All the food is tasty. We've tried many of their items over the years. They were perfectly happy to make my husband's food ahead of time as he is a UPS Driver & has a very short break. They have REAL fry sauce. I have loved this place since they were in the old building. I'm so glad the food has never "cheapened". They could have cut corners over the years. They haven't. I'm loyal for that. The restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly and efficient. The bathroom was clean.

I hadn't been back since they built the "new" building (10 years ago!) because we moved out of the area. I had the bacon avocado cheeseburger and it was delicious! Plenty big enough for me with the single patty. The "small" fries/tots were way more than I could eat and the drink was huge! I loved the fry sauce being in a squeeze bottle on the table! The server was very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back for more.

As of right now, the best burger I can buy in Boise. Got a double mushroom bacon burger a couple of weeks ago. Top 5 burgers I've ever had, which is a decent statement as my line of work brings me all over the country. Well done. Price kinda sucks. French fries were super mid. But yum that burger.

Great food and generous portions. These hamburgers are in my opinion some of the best in Idaho and the closest to home made i can find around here. The tots and onion rings are really good. Beware of ordering the large portion unless you plan to share lol. Shakes are also top notch here. We like the huckleberry flavor.

We had a large group of 13, some visiting Idaho for the first time from out of the country, and we had a wonderful time. The staff had us wait just a few minutes until they could sit us all together. For those of us who can't finish a 1 or 2 pounds of meat in a single hamburger, we were able to divide them up among us with large servings of french fries and some onion rings, and the tater tots. Our guests were able to enjoy Fry sauce which they liked, and we all enjoyed the excellent and friendly service. At the end, the servers made it easy to pay by small groups. All in all a great experience for those visiting, and us locals!

Thank you Big Jud’s for continuing making the KNOCK OUT burger that I enjoyed when I lived for Modesto for approx 63 years. You have surpassed the Scenic Drive in and their famous knock out they have been serving since 1956. This a delicious follow up for the best burgers in Boise.
