Great service and wonderful burgers and milkshakes. The fish and chips is also very good. Love the huckleberry shake it is Great

Tried this place out, 1st time on way up to Sandpoint. Drive thru. Got a tub of fries only. Now here is where they shine like a mofo. They now cook all their shish in beef tallow! Finally more places are doing this. The got damn seed oils are killing off Americans imo. Good job guys! The fries were great! We will stop again sometime and order them up and maybe try other items. Bravo on the got damn beef tallow! ! Tasty and better for us! read more

I live a block away from Burger Express , unfortunately they have hired a tomboy like gal with red dyed hair that is the rudest person I have ever known in the service industry in 40years .At first I thought it was being directed towards me but after watching I noticed everyone being treated that way including the employees she was working with .The cleanliness has also dropped and my fries were cold. read more

Place has gone downhill. Ridiculous prices for what you get. $8 for a chicken sandwich you can eat in about four bites???? Come on.... Dirty tables. Used to be great. Not anymore... read more

Mary and I stopped in here for the first time today. This is a classic 50s 60s style burger joint; it was clean but shows the wear of many years. Mary had the grilled chicken sandwich; chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and toasted bun, good but average. My bacon cheese burger; had lettuce, mayonnaise, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, meat patty and toasted bun, it was good but could have been above average if the meat patty had been hot and juicy as opposed to the warm and dry patty that it was. The crinkle cut fries were hot and salty, but average! read more

Do NOT......I repeat DO NOT go through the drive thru if you have any plans for the rest of your day. I ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings, paid for them and then was told to "pull forward and park out front and we'll bring it out to you". After almost 20 min, watching them take more & more orders, I had to pull away because I was on my lunch hour. If you do choose to go thru their drive thru, tell them "No" and wait at the window until you get your food! read more

I love stopping by this spot on my way up to priest lake or pend orielle river! They've got amazing milkshakes and a great tub of fries. This time, I ordered the huckleberry milkshake, and a double cheeseburger (no cheese, aka a double burger. They don't have a plain double burger on the menu so had to order it this way!) The burgers are mediocre quality, similar to other fast food restaurants. Definitely recommend their milkshakes and fries though! And don't forget the fry sauce. The spot is quaint but decent size, plus 50s themed which is cute. Overall, while the food is of fast food quality, I will continue stopping by for the shakes and fries and probably still order a burger with it! There's also outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Overall decent place and decent experience. read more

I ordered a bacon double cheese burger meal at the drive through. First the good. The flavor was good. Not amazing but not bad. I really liked the fries. They were crinkle cut and nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Good flavor. They were fast and courteous. The bad. The beef patties were not particularly juicy. I wouldn't go as far as to say they were dry though. All pretty typical though. Nothing special. Now the reason I'll probably not return. There were 4 bone chips in the burger. We've all probably had a small chip of bone in ground beef before. Hopefully they are few and far between. This one burger had 4. Not acceptable in my book. I thought of giving this place just one star but there were some good things so I settled in 2 stars. I wanted to like this place but their beef quality will need to improve first. A couple things that didn't influence my review. They have Pepsi products. I prefer Coke. I like to dip my fries in tartar sauce. It was just okay. The outside of the building looks pretty dated. read more

A+ mom-and-pop burger joint! Delicious food, friendly service, and clean environs. Loved it and will definitely be going back frequently!

Food is not worth the money! I'll go to Burger King before I ever come back here and waste money! No tots any more burgers are so small and you have to pay for fry sauce you don't even get one free with you $12 meal what a joke! The original owners would be embarrassed at the place now! HORRIBLE NOT WORTH $56 and the sprite tasted like pool water read more

Burger Express - Small rodeo - Burgers Near Me - Priest River, Idaho

If you stopping here expecting a gourmet burger you've come to the wrong place. This is fast food all the way but they do a very good job of hitting the expectation. The burgers are basic but tasty and the fries are pretty good too. The staff keeps everything nice and clean including the restrooms. We decided to stop and grab dinner just before the 9pm closing time. The girl working the counter never made us feel rushed and was very pleasant taking our order. We'll be returning for sure when travels bring us through the area again. read more

Burger Express - Burgers Near Me - Priest River, Idaho

Used to be a family favorite but no longer what it used to be. They cut their menu in half and exorbitantly for any sauce. Won't be stopping here anymore. read more

Tried to order at the drive thru 5 minutes before 8. The drive thru open sign was still on. A girl talked through the speaker in the drive thru and said sorry we're closed. I tried to ask what time do you close. No response and they shut off the drive thru light. Crappy service. Need to hire adults not lazy kids. read more

We got in the drive up line at 1:50pm on Saturday, there 4 cars in front of us...an employee came out and took our order.....double cheese burger, corn dog, onion rings and two sodas, $17ish. A delivery truck arrived, 3 employees came out to help bring in few items, another employee was carrying out trash. At 2;30 we got to the window and the poor guy working there was extremely busy and seemed to be doing alot of jobs. The burger was way undercooked and had an unusually tasting sauce....I liked the onionrings....the corndog....hum.....but it was a corndog. Very disappointing! read more

Horrible service tonight. The young lady at the window didn't say much and when I asked if sauces costed extra she said no as if she was confused and smirked to her friend to the left. Not sure what that's about but as I was being handed my food nothing was said. Not a "thank you, have a goodnight" , nothing but "you're welcome." I get home and check my food, my tub of fries is half full, and not even fully cooked, they filled the other half of the tub with their sauce cups. I usually get exceptional customer service from this place but tonight was different. Seems as if the whole place is ran by young teens as well. read more

We had a slow experience this night. Seemed like food was molisordered somehw. We will be back and we have came here for years and they are consistent while not in the middle of somewherhe.7 read more

It's not like I go here all the time, but it seems that they always short my order but charge me full price. On three different occasions the latest being 1/30/23, I ordered burger, fries & side of onion rings. Get home & no onion rings. You would think by now I would learn to check my bag of food before pulling away. I will just stop going there. read more

Excellent burgers great buns and you get treated well here. If you have a big order be prepared to wait because they don't have stuff laying around they cook when you order it and you can taste the difference my go to for burgers read more

Great little spot on the highway for a burger and fries. Make sure you get a Huckleberry shake, they are an awesome north Idaho treat.

The kitchen staff seems to be hit or miss, but often it is mismanaged chaos. The burgers are the typical mess.. BUT they are absolutely delicious. The fries and Onion rings are great. Over all the food is BETTER than a typical drive in, Will return for sure. Hope to see a better Evening manager in the future, possibly one that isn't condescending and passive aggressive to the rest of the staff. (Older kid with messy balding blonde hair) Love this classic Joint! read more

I have a mixed review ...positives are they have great fries, delicious milkshakes, ice cream cones are very good priced, and im diggin' the 50's style diner theme ..minuses are they only have teenagers working who sometimes seem clueless when facing adversities of any kind, drive through takes way too long, and their ice cream sundaes are way overpriced for the size.. I just paid almost $4 for a sundae that was little more than child size Overall its well worth a visit because every persons opinions vary from one person to the next ..try it for yourself read more

Used to stop in here every time we came through with our kids years ago and it has not changed. Simple but delicious. Double bacon burger was awesome, crispy fries and a huckleberry shake! Great memories and making some new ones, thanks for that! read more

This place has some okay food but the costumer service here sucks and the sweet tea tasted like house cleaning chemicals with or without sweetener there Dr Pepper tastes disgusting never thought Dr Pepper would be disgusting read more

We make it a point to stop here after every camping trip at Priest Lake. I could eat endless tubs of their Freedom Fries and guzzle huckleberry shakes all day. read more

Amazing food and friendly service from the young people. Everything tasted really fresh.

Been going here for years. Hits the milkshake cravings every time. Those babies are THICK. Got to do the huckleberry. The curly fries are the best around. Fry sauce is on point. Those are the pluses. The last time I went here though I spent 30 minutes in the drive through. Not because it was super crowded or anything. They never said why it took so long... but a drive through fast food joint shouldn't take 30 minutes read more

Me and my brother went to Burger Express to get food and one of the waiters (a teenager my age) was giving me bad looks. After eating for a bit my brother leaned forward and the seat slid off revealing a lot of nasty garbage and pennies underneath. I went ahead and tried mine and found most of the seats slide off with little effort. On another visit Me and my friends went and the same waiter was laughing at me and not taking my order, so I had my friend take it for me, Ridiculous. I love the fries there and the food is decent though. read more

If you want a decent fast food burger then this is the place for you. Make sure when you order the burger you make it a deluxe (lettuce pickles etc), grab yourself a huckleberry shake and some fries n you are good to go! I would much rather go here then any other fast food burger joint. They've gotten our orders wrong a few times but it doesn't stop us from coming here again. read more

Worst meal ever. The place was filthy (floors, windows, booths....grime everywhere), bathroom sink was backed up with yellow/brown water, ice machine was broken (no ice for soda!), and food was questionable. We assumed this place was a gem since it always looks packed on our way to and from the lake. We will never be back and would like to warn others. Health department needs to be called... read more

Terrible service from the young people that work here. Unfortunately they feel a sense of entitlement. I did speak with a manager on staff who said she would talk with the employee that was rude to me giving me attitude when I walked in. I honestly was about to walk out but I wanted to place my order at this business. The food here is great! I hope there can be customer service skills being taught and practiced here. This is the third or fourth instance this has happened that I have mentioned to the manager about the attitude of the employees. I observed that the couple who walked in after me, the same employee smiled and greeted them professionally. She asked them if their order was complete and she even asked if they would like to sit and eat here. Wow! read more

A ritual on the way up to and back from Priest Lake from Spokane WA - the usual fare and a less than inspiring parking lot scene, but gotta get your first/last huckleberry hit ASAP! read more

If you expect a decent burger won't find one here! Called in an order and the help couldn't tell me what's on their menu. Wanted a big burger with everything on it. What I ended up with was 3 paddies and a piece of cheese. What a joke! Better off going 7 miles down the road to Mc Donald. read more

The food was amazing! But there was a little entitled boy working behind the counter who was really rude and messed up my order, and also took away my fry sauce that he already had ready for us and then just decided to not let us have it. He had a super mean tone and didn't even click anything when i told him my order. I'm right with you Valerie S. read more

I love the Huckleberry Shakes they are too die for. The burgers are always fresh and the fries are hot! Its a great place to stop when your driving back from Priest Lake. Expect a line on the weekends. Its a tradition to stop here driving back from Priest. read more

Excellent fast-food restaurant. I am from California, and have always been partial to In-N-Out Burger down there. Burger Express is the only decent fast-food hamburger joint in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene/Sandpoint area. This is the only place of its kind up here. All other fast food restaurants are trash by comparison, when food quality is taken into account. Menu is similar to Zip's *at first glance*. However, Burger Express' quality is far superior. This place is in a whole other league compared with the major chains (Burger King, McDonald's, Jack In The Box, Wendy's, etc.) - none of them can produce the same quality of burger. Tillamook Pepper-Jack and Cheddar are on the menu as standard cheeses in their burgers. The beef actually tastes like beef, not perfume. Good sauces. You can make any burger a "deluxe" for free - add tomato, lettuce, onion. Excellent huckleberry shakes - they use real ice cream and real huckleberries. Highly recommended if you are seeking a quick burger. It's not a fine restaurant, and does not try to be. It's just a rare fast-food restaurant which uses actual food ingredients. read more

Place is dirty. Kids are running the show , but seem to be playing around . The burgers are well not very good. I had better burger at McGags than here. I won't be going back. Bathrooms were not clean. This place use to be great about 10 years ago. Now it's just sad read more

worst experience ever. Went through the drive-thru and ordered. Paid for our order and received a bag of food. Pulled into a parking stall to check the order. They forgot a sandwich. Went inside and they wanted me to bring the bag in so they could inspect. Some in our group had already started eating. They eventually filled the order but not without a 15 min. delay. read more

Good huckleberry shakes but terrible service. I sat in drive-through for 30 minutes! Finally just had to knock on window and ask for my money back. Manager never once offered me a "sorry for the wait but instead just offered excuses and slammed window shut after giving me my money while I was mid sentence. I won't be back. read more

Went through the drive-through and ordered the double order of fish and chips. Sadly, they don't give you much, it was more like what I would have expected a single order to look like. If I had known it was going to be such a small amount, I would have ordered more. But the food was quite tasty, our wait was not long, and the service was pleasant. read more
