    Tri-tip with Mac
    Tamara G.

    It was okay. My son got the brisket fries and I got tri-tip with Mac and cheese. The brisket was pretty tasty! He didn't like the fries though. The Mac and cheese was creamy but everything was too salty for us. My youngest son got a burger and fries but also didn't care for the fries. If you get the brisket, I think it's the star!

    We never pass on the opportunity to eat BBQ in a gas station, so Blister's has been high on our list of 'cue joints to visit in Idaho. Although we were unable to sample the ribs and the fried green beans, what we did try was very good, with an excellent price point. Shelling out a little over $20, we purchased a two meat (tri tip, turkey) platter with house cut fries, a side of scones, and 2 refillable soft drinks. Both meats had good smoke and flavor, with the turkey offering a moist and buttery texture that we thoroughly enjoyed. Both the fries and scones really hit the spot, so much so that we ordered seconds to go. So, once again gas station BBQ really hit it out of the park! Blister's really lives up to its national reputation (Kelli Acciardo at Food Network ranked it in the top 45 nationwide), and we look forward to our next visit.

    We were hoping we found the Rudy's equivalent in Idaho but not quite We tried the brisket and tri-tip, I would give the tri-tip a 8.5/10 it was tender and juicy but could use a bit more flavor. The brisket was more like a barbecued chopped beef with sauce. It's was good but many of the pieces in the chop were dry, tough, and stringy....7/10. The place was packed and we waited ~ 40 minutes for our food during a weekday lunch hour. Some people waited over an hour for their food. Overall it was good and I would give it another try but was hoping for a Texas Rudy's.

    Ok the angle of my pic makes the pulled pork sandwiches look the same size but rest assured they are not. The small was perfect size for me and the fries were SO GOOD! Located in a gas station, this joint is clean and perfect for the traveler to get some good food. We were on our way to Yellowstone so this was perfect to fuel us for the rest of the day. Highly recommend

    How In The Holy Name Of All Things BBQ Has This Place Have So Many Decent Reviews?!?! Absolutely Terrible. Tried Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork & Tri Tip And There Wasn't A Decent Bite Between Them. Slaw Must Have Been At Least A Week Old. No Crunch And The Only Flavor It Had Was Best Described As "It Taste Like The Smell Of Dried Spit". Mac N Cheese Was So Salty It Was Inedible. Tried Taking A 3rd Bite For Good Measure, Just In Case My Taste Buds Had Evolved...NOPE. So Basically A Waste Of Nearly $40 For Two Of Us. Oh And Just To Round Out The Review...Meat Was Not Even Room Temp. Mostly Cold. 2 Stars Cuz The Paper Was Cute. ‍

We ordered the pastrami Reuben with fries and ended up splitting it between the two of us. It was absolutely delicious and VERY hearty. The portions here are definitely generous, and one meal was plenty for two people for us. One thing that really stood out was how creative the food seems to be. This doesn't feel like a restaurant simply following the standard pub menu. Several of the dishes sounded like things they've experimented with, developed, and really made their own. There seems to be a lot of creativity and personality behind the menu. The sauce served with our Reuben was especially good. It reminded me of a cross between Thousand Island and a Big Mac-style sauce, but with its own flavor. Whatever it was, it was top-notch and went perfectly with the sandwich. The atmosphere is definitely that of a true bar/pub. We aren't drinkers, and alcohol is obviously a major focus here, from the decor to the overall feel of the restaurant. If you're not a drinker, you may feel a little out of place in the main bar area, so that is something to know going in. That being said, they do have a separate side dining room away from the main bar area, as well as a patio that looked like it would be a wonderful place to sit, eat, and enjoy the beautiful Wyoming scenery. The building itself is definitely older and a little worn down. It appeared clean on the surface, but you can tell the restaurant has seen a lot of use over the years and could probably benefit from some updating and a little extra attention in certain areas. At the same time, the rustic, well-used feel does fit the personality of a longtime local pub. Our one meal came to $25.68, so it is certainly on the pricier side for a sandwich and fries. However, this is Jackson Hole, and higher prices are somewhat expected in a tourist town. Considering how large the portions were, the price was a little easier to justify. Overall, The Bird is a fun, quirky, very casual place with huge portions and some surprisingly creative food. The pastrami Reuben was delicious, the sauce was fantastic, and I would definitely order it again.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences…read moreI've ever had. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely full, but it's a very small dining room with only about 10 tables. We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated, and after seeing the great Yelp reviews, we were excited to eat there. There was only one larger party of eight; the rest of the tables were small groups, so nothing suggested the kitchen was overwhelmed. We were seated at 6:10 p.m., ordered drinks, and placed our dinner order shortly afterward. Then...nothing. We waited so long that we ordered a second round of drinks, assuming our food would be arriving any minute. After finishing those drinks, we finally asked about our order around 7:30 p.m.--more than an hour after ordering. The response from the other server was disappointing. Without any real apology or concern, we were simply told it would be another 10-15 minutes because they "had lots of to-go orders." If the kitchen was prioritizing takeout over guests who had been sitting in the dining room for well over an hour, that should have been communicated from the beginning. Then 10 minutes later, to make matters worse, the other server to whom we inquired --not even ours--brought peppermints to the table to "help with our hunger." Whether it was intended as humor or not, it came across as incredibly insensitive given we'd been waiting 1 hour and 20 minutes. At that point, we asked for our bill for the drinks and decided to leave. Unsurprisingly, our food appeared almost immediately after we asked for the check. By then, the experience had completely ruined our appetite. Our actual server did apologize, and I appreciated that, but it was simply too late to salvage the evening. I've eaten at countless restaurants over the years, and I have never experienced anything quite like this. Long waits can happen, but a restaurant should communicate honestly, apologize sincerely, and make guests feel valued. Unfortunately, none of that happened here. We left disappointed and I feel the need to warn others. I felt bad for our actual server (who we tipped normally) because she couldn't help the delay in the kitchen or her coworker's behavior.
