    My boy has never seen a burger this big. He is use to the size on his own plate.
    Ryan D.

    If you have the chance to partake in a large home made burger, I recommend you stop by this place. We traveled up here to visit family, and I had to take the family to show how BIG they really were. Staff was great, atmosphere is great, and people are friendly. It can fill up pretty quick, but be patient because it's worth the wait.

    Regular hamburger with all the fixings.

    Wow! Big Jud's did NOT disappoint! We hadn't heard about Big Jud's until this year (our 18th year to visit this area and we only just now discovered it.). I had the regular burger; excellent, meat is so savory. Cooked just right. The others with me had the bacon cheeseburger, it looked fantastic and they loved theirs. We also got the small fries, tater tots, and large onion rings; delicious! And our server? She was great and really sweet too. We finished the meal off with the kiddie cup huckleberry ice cream. We highly recommend eating here!

    I ordered the Cheeseburger extra lettuce, extra tomatoes, no pickles, no onions. The waiter brings the burger to my table at 7:15 pm on a Saturday night and says they are out of tomato and they must have been out of Lettuce as well because I got light lettuce (the waiter should have told me that when I ordered extra tomatoes) The HYPE is not real - I live near Arco, Idaho and everyone in the office said Big Jud's is worth the drive (45 minutes)... The atmosphere is great - they get a 10 fries Get a 9 Shake (Huckleberry) 8 Burger - I did not want any of the many burger toppings they offer - I wanted the good a beefy hamburger. Very disappointed - I took the hamburger patty out of the bun just to try the meat - it was bland with no flavor at all except for one bite had lots of salt- it could have been ground cardboard... Burger gets a 2 You can get away with running a business like this out in the middle of nowhere but if this was in a major city and operated this way - people will go eat elsewhere. Here is the problem - rather then staging seating and orders - all the orders come in at the same time and they fill the grill with burgers and put them all out at the same time and then nothing for 15 minutes while the next full grill of burgers is cooking - I doubt they even know the concept of kitchen waitstaff flow... total Mom & Pop operation Business acumen and restaurant operation execution they get a 1

    I love Big Jud's... it's my favorite after a long day of fishing. Their service is friendly and the food tastes great!! Their onion rings are some of my favorite not overly greasy and dip it in their ranch. They have the best fry sauce prepared which I appreciate.

    Fantastic burgers and fries so fresh that it feels that they were just dug up, sliced and deep fried. Had a fabulous waitress that made me feel like I was a regular. While the restaurant is a little off the beaten path it is well worth the drive. If you are feeling up to proving how much you can eat you can attempt the Man vs Food challenge of either a 1 pound or 2 pound burger with fries and a soda. All of this needs to be eaten in 30 minutes.

    This is an amazing place. When we lived I Idaho we would come here regularly now we come on the way to and on the way back from Yellowstone. We plan our trip so we can be here around lunch or dinner time. Personal story, years ago (maybe 25) we told our young children that we were going to stop and get a hamburger but we were low on money and we would only get one burger and share it. Since eating out was a treat, they were excited to eat out and never showed disappointment when we order ONE big Jud burger. They squealed when that big burger came out and they've never forgotten that experience.

    Portions, portions, portions! Oh yeah! You won't leave here hungry! I'm in love with Jud's French fries. Oh my! My childhood nickname my dad gave me was the "French fry kid" and that name continues today. So when I eat tasty fries, m in heaven. You'd expect good fries in potato country and Jud's delivered. Skin slightly on, piping hot, perfectly salted fries. Paired with a zesty fry sauce! Burgers were equally as good. I don't love the buns, but the meat was juicy and tasty! Cleanliness needs to be improved and had it been better, a five star would have been a tempting rating.

    Lives up to the hype. Good quality beef not incinerated and generous portions. The facilities are slightly off-putting.

So I took a chance and called just to see if maybe they could fit us in for one night. I spoke to Jess and she allowed as to how she could make room for us but it may be without any hookups. I told her that was fine with us and asked if a spot with hookups came available could she please put us in it. After I hung up I realized that I did not give her my phone number so I called back. Jess said that she did indeed have a full hookup space and that she had already moved us into it. When we arrived we were greeted by Brad the bar tender. He directed us to our spot and told us they were open and serving food until 10:00. Once we got settled we went back in for dinner. We had fish & chips, wings and Matt's hot chicken sandwich. The food was good and the service was even better and pretty fast. It is located about 1/3 mile from the I-15 exit ramp. The scenery is awesome, and considering how close to the freeway it is it was decently quiet. We will definitely stay here again.
