I have always loved Butter Burr's. Went there for special occasions when my kids were little and now that I am living in Meridian, every time we come back to visit, which is about 6 times a year, we eat there. But the new location has a sad ambient. Nothing to look at while wait and wait time has increased tremendously. The menu has been cut, and it is dark and gloomy. Feels like being in a dungeon. The cinnamon twists which have always been a favorite fell through the cracks. They were hard and too crusty. The hashbrowns were burnt, the pancakes were just okay. The hamburger steak for breakfast was chewy and tough. Not sure if we will ever go there again. We were so excited to go there to bring new family there to eat and we now look like fools because it was so aweful. read more

Noodle soup noodles home made you fantastic we had turkey and mashed potatoes I had slow cooked beef sides of corn and fresh baked bread cherry pie coconut cream pie incredible desserts really a great stop everybody was very nice If you're on I 15 going north or south stop by this place it's worth it read more

The soup was like out of the can. I got the Italian sandwich it was small but still a good value for the price. Oatmeal pie was good and cinnamon twists were the best. Nothing amazing. But good value. read more

Kind of gone down hill. It took 40 minutes to get food, eggs were dried out from sitting out under hear lamp too long, and service was lacking. Disappointed. read more

The service at this place is horrible. We waited an hour and a half and still didn't get our food. We finally had to ask for the bill for our drinks so we could leave. The manager just told us to get out, no apology nothing. We even had to serve ourselves our own coffee while the manager and a waitress stood at the counter. I definitely would never go back to this place again. read more

Went in to trying this restaurant with high hopes but not expecting much. I've seen lots of cars there so I assumed they did something good. I got the French dip, fish sandwich, and chicken noodle soup. I was not impressed with the bread choice on the French dip and the dip was salty. It wasn't bad it just average. Likewise the soup was an average chicken noodle. The fries were actually good, thick fries with crunchy exterior. I ordered the fish sandwich because the description said it came with tomato, lettuce, and onion, my sandwich came with none of those. Overall better than a big chain fast food restaurant but they failed to meet their own product description. read more

We stopped here after a long day of traveling. The restaurant is VERY clean. The food was simple and delicious. Highly recommend the burgers. Pastry and pies were great as well. Our server was so friendly and our food come out quickly. read more

Went for lunch the other day. I was absolutely impressed with both the service and the food! I ordered the soup and salad, thinking it would be just enough to fill me up, and went home with leftovers of the soup and a half slice of pie! My garden salad was very fresh, the bacon potato soup was delicious, (the large is a big, big bowl - just a heads up.) I will definitely go back. I think I may have found a new favorite lunch spot. Oh, the best part? You can eat for under $10 (even dinner) if you keep it simple, but then again, their pie is pretty hard to resist! read more

Butterburrs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

We stopped today and had lunch here. The service was great. The food was wounderful. We had the "SST" Soup,1/2 Sandwich, treat. I ordered the French dip, French Vegetable soup, and Common twist. My wife ordered the BLT, Potato Bacon soup, and Lemon cream Pie. The food was fast and great. Always have had great food at this reasterant. read more

Butterburrs - Ok - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

Let me start by saying that my five star rating is for this class of restaurant: a family restaurant, a diner. I had lunch here twice in a week, both times with two kids and another time with an additional diner. Both times we had very friendly service, with multiple check-ins to see if we needed anything else. The kitchen accommodated our minor special requests with no objection. The cinnamon twists are an epic treat! I also especially enjoyed the vegetarian soup, which was as good as or even better than what I make at home. My kids raved about the quality of the bacon that came with their breakfast dishes (breakfast is served all day). We also enjoyed the unusual Oatmeal Pie -- trust me, it's better than it sounds. It's similar to a southern pecan pie, but without the pecans, and with some rolled oats in the sweet gooey matrix. It was served heated, which was a plus. Next time I am in Pocatello, I will definitely return to Butterburrs. read more

Butterburrs - The legendary cinnamon twist. Perfection. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

Over the years, we've tried most dining options as we travel here for errands. This has always been on the list, but it took a long time to get to the top. In the end it really is a standard diner. Some of facility is getting a little long in the tooth. In other ways the longevity shows. The place knows what it wants to be. The food is good. It's better than the national chains, but there is nothing to really set it apart. read more

12 dollar meal and my first order of bacon was way over cooked and then the second order was obviously tossed in a fryer my wife's food was practically raw read more

Our first time in Pocatello Idaho and we saw the sign outside that said fresh bread and homemade pies. This was what brought me in for food. We ate the chicken fried steak which was really good along with eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes and the cinnamon twist. By far the two best things we ate were the chicken fried steak and cinnamon twist. Everything else was a little bland in flavor but still satisfactory. We did not eat any pie put the pies in the display looks very tasty. Perhaps next time I will order a piece of pie. The biscuits and gravy looked really good but we didn't order that because they were sold out. I was very jealous of all the people around me who were eating the biscuits. The biscuits looked really good!! read more

Every chance I get I take it to go to Butterburs! The last couple mornings I have had their bacon skillet. Oh my goodness - perfection! And of course I had to get their twists - raspberry yesterday and cinnamon today - with real butter!!! This is comfort food personified! Their service is quick and friendly and the place is clean - what is not to like? Come on down! read more

Butterburrs - Bacon skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

Excellent service, good quality food, friendly and accommodating staff. Watch out for portion size: what you order is typically 2x larger than what you'd normally eat at home. There will be lots of to-go boxes with leftovers. Pretty much everything can be ordered as half-order. Go for those half-orders or check with staff on the sizes of particular dishes. My family had a great experience dining at ButterBurr's - we are going back for our second breakfast! read more

First of all I have been going to Butterburrs for years and each time I have been very happy with the entire experience. Unfortunately I had my first not so good experience today. I know it was Veterans Day and they were busy. I persuaded my daughter we should go there for lunch. We put our name on the list and waited for a table. It was only about a 10 minute wait at that point. The Hostess got our drinks, very nice. The waitress came by and took our order about 10 minutes later, we waited and waited until my daughter finally got the attention of our waitress and ordered another drink at that point it was 30 minutes and the waitress stated the kitchen was really busy and it was taking at least 30 minutes to get the orders out. We waited some more, finally after 45 minutes we got our food. In total we had the waitress stop by 3 times, took our order, brought drink, got bill. Sad to say my daughter was not impressed and told me she would not go back, I kept apologizing because I never had a bad time before, she was visiting from out of town. read more

Great service and food. Went with a party of six and we had the French toast twist, breakfast quiche and biscuits with gravy, everything was delicious and portions are quite generous! read more

Just went to breakfast with my parents. We hadn't been here for a long while. It has gone way down hill. The place with filthy! We had to keep asking for food that we had not been served that went with our meal. The food was almost edible. I would not suggest eating here. Very disappointing! read more

Not impressed. The cop that took our accident report ( true story) said that this was his favorite place. So we switched our breakfast plans and visited. My "breakfast scramble" which I ordered with ham, was scrambled eggs with the tiniest cubes of ham.... UNDER the eggs. NOT scrambled in. My bf's chicken fried steak, was just gross. They give you a cinnamon braid thingy that was tasty but that was the only highlight. read more

Always amazing. Food is some good down home hearty. Great breakfast and lunch. Italian sausage breakfast is delish. 7 hr roast and s s t.

Gross Gross Gross! I can't believe how down hill this place has gone! Loved them when I was in college, came back to town for a visit and oh my goodness DISGUSTING! My salad was FROZEN SOLID my clam chowder might as well have been a salt-lick. This once great restaurant has turned to garbage! So sad! read more

So we super love lunches & dinners from here!!! Our FAVORITE IS THE SST- soup or salad/choice of many different sandwiches and a TREAT Our FAVORITE is their OATMEAL PIE-it doesn't sound that great at first. If you love pecan pie this has WALNUTS and a rich DELICIOUS FLAVOR!!! read more

Pretty good sandwiches. Had the roast beef and cheese as advertised. A little light on the protein between the "butter bread", but what was there was good. Would I go back? Perhaps... read more

On a business trip and, I'd been stuck for a few weeks with Appleby's and the other 5 chains anyone can find anywhere. I was missing my wife's cooking, then I stumbled into this Ma & Pop restaurant. Butter Burr's offers a full course meal which includes drink, salad, entree, and desert. It was tasty and large. I usually had to skip the pie, because I was so full. This is not a gourmet restaurant......it was just like eating mom's cooking! Not only was the food like mom's, the owner reminded me of a country soccer mom, who reminded me of my mother. I chatted with her, met her husband and several of her children before I left town.......Good people. For a family away from your family. It is a wholesome restaurant, that put's out American comfort food. Obviously it became a regular stop for me during the 3 months I worked in Pocatello. Out of all the other places in town Butter Burr's offers the best value, and best nostalgia for those missing family on business trips. read more

Long time fan of this restaurant. "American" style food with a couple of twists (like the cheese frenchy). Most meals are served with either a cinnamon twist or a breadstick. All bread products/pies are made specially for Butterburrs by a local bakery - fresh every day. They also feature "home made" soups with chicken noodle and vegetable beef every day, along with a daily special. The chicken noodle is especially good since even the noodles are handmade. A couple of nice features that this establishment does that most others do not, is have multiple meals sizes (small or large) as well as a variety of specials (such as the SST - Soup, Sandwich & Treat). They also have a seniors menu for lighter eaters. Poor Dan C. ordered probably ordered the most bland item on the menu. I am a BIG fan of biscuits and gravy, but I will not eat them here - I have found that in a lot of eateries the gravy is bland and tastes more of flour than sausage, so I am hesitant to order them in many places. Most of the other food is flavorful, needing only a little salt and pepper. The restaurant is divided into three general areas - two in the front (left and right of the entry) with the third being located to the right and to the rear. If loud noise bothers you, I recommend that you do NOT sit in the rear section as the walls are bare and reflect a lot of sound, and this is also the area where they seat larger parties so it tends to be a bit noisier. Once you get done with your meal order the oatmeal pie, heated. Al-la-mode is even better. Think pecan pie, but not as cloyingly sweet. A wonderful ending to a good meal. read more

Best cinnamon rolls (twists) I've ever had. I wish there was one in Cali. Worth a stop just for those, that is the main draw here! read more

I was in Pocatello on business earlier this week and this place came up with a google search on my BlackBerry and then we drove past it and it sparked my memory from the previous google search. We decided to give it a whirl for dinner and we were not disappointed. The prices were VERY reasonable and the service was friendly. We each ordered off of their combo menu (I'm not sure what the actual name is) where we got our choice of appetizer, entree and dessert for $8.99, which is really a great deal. I had the chicken parm for my entree although I should have gone with the roast and mashed potatoes. I tried the Idaho Nachos for my appetizer. They are basically little chopped up potatoes with toppings on them and were pretty good. For dessert I ordered a slice of strawberry pie and between the time I placed my order and when it was time for my dessert they ran out (I had seen the last slice come out to another table and it looked great) so I had to make another selection and I went with the Lemon Cream Pie instead. My boss chose their "famous" scones with honey butter for her appetizer and I tried a bit. Very delicious. She got the prime rib for her entree (which is a slight price increase over the $8.99) and then a slice of their Oatmeal Pie for dessert. I had a taste of that too, and it was good. The next morning before we left town we had to grab some breakfast and we decided that we would go back for more. I got my own scones this time and was not disappointed. The coffee was good too. An added bonus was that my expense report will be very lean due to their excellent prices. I wasn't a fan of much in Pocatello, but Butterburrs will be the shining exception. read more

Best Mormon breakfast around and I mean that in the best of all possible ways. We eat here almost every weekend and it's a thousand times better than Denny's or IHOP. read more

Jan was awesome and so were the fresh cinnamon rolls - Yum-fricking-ee! We chose our breakfast based on yelp. Love it as I didn't have a clue where to eat as we were 800 miles from home. Once again - very thankful for yelp and yelpers. Prices were reasonable - especially with the amount of food you get. Service was friendly and responsive. Food was delicious and fresh - what more can you ask for? read more

I wasn't a huge fan my first time at Butterburrs. The look and feel to the place leaves some to be desired, but the food really is good, so I'm now a repeat customer. Great prices too! I always go for lunch and get the SST special which is a sandwich, soup/salad, and a treat for around $7. The potato soup is always better than I expect it to be. And super filling! French Vegetable soup was just okay. My favorite sandwich is the Cheese Frenchy. It's a battered and fried grilled cheese. Yes, it will probably shorten your lifespan, but it is soooo very good. I've tried a few other sandwiches that were all good, but now I always get that Frenchy. For treats, the oatmeal pie can't be beat. It's pecan pie's cousin and it is surprisingly delicious. Their twists and coconut cream pie are also pretty dang good. Anyway, Butterburrs is nothing fancy, but they never disappoint. It's a cheap, filling, and tasty meal that can't be beat. read more

I love Butterburrs! We've been coming here for years and will continue to do so for years to come. The cinnamon twists are amazing, I have to get one to go every time I come. I've tried several different things on the menu and have never been disappointed. If you're looking for a place that has all around good food, good service and a very short wait time, this is the place! read more

Butterburrs is all about their fantastic bread dough recipe. The use it to create delicious breadsticks, sandwiches, and cinnamon (and other flavor) twists. I'd recommend any bread item that is made in the restaurant. Outside of the bread items, the food can be hit or miss. I'm personally not a big fan of their breakfast items, which I find to be under-seasoned and lacking in butter flavor. They do have a nice Italian sausage, and sticking to items with this ingredient keeps from having a bland breakfast dish brought to your table. We particularly enjoy the SST, which is a soup, half sandwich, and "treat" combo available all day. Get the sandwich on a "butterbun", any soup, and cinnamon twist, and you're all set. Service is typically quick and friendly, and the restaurant is very casual. I'd say it was great for kids, but I have to add the caveat that there are no diaper changing facilities in either restaurant. For a place that recently remodeled their restrooms and always has several babies in attendance, this is completely unforgivable! I'd have gone with 4 stars if it hadn't have been for this issue. read more

I started coming to this place 10 years ago on my annual fishing trip to Island Park, Idaho and Its is Amazing! It reminds me of sitting down at Grandmas and having a good old home cooked meal. The raspberry twist and Oatmeal Pie are a little trip to heaven for your tastebuds.. I always get the SST Sandwich, Soap/Salad and a Treat. You're Welcome! read more

Butterburrs - Oatmeal Pie with chocolate drizzled over it and vanilla ice cream. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

The pie is to die for! Everything else is meh. Soup is insanely salty and their sandwich bread is weirdly sweet. Everyone else seems to love this place so maybe I'm just an oddball. But PIE. The pie is so good!! read more

Went to eat breakfast here and it was okay. Nothing special, but also not horrible. The eggs were pretty eggs, the cinnamon twist was delicious (but probably extremely bad for you) and my hash browns were undercooked. The service was pretty good and friendly. Even though they were busy they servers didn't make us feel rushed one bit. I give two stars because hash browns are important to me and you can't just crisp the top. read more

Butterburrs - Hash browns, crispy on top and raw in the middle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pocatello, Idaho

This establishment is a solid 4 star. 5 is very hard to obtain. Let me talk about what I enjoyed about this place. Service: The waiter was very friendly, up front and walked us through the menu at a quick pace, and didn't linger. He allowed us to enjoy our dinner on a Sunday. Hours: They were open on Sunday. We were traveling for the Eastern Idaho State fair and this was one of the few places that were open in this small college town on a Sunday. Food: I had the Seven Hour Pot Roast and it was very good. It was a tad under seasoned and with a few dashes of the season salt mixture on the table my pot roast was tasty. Let's talk about what could have been better. Breadstick: I ordered the plain one and it was dry, and didn't seem very fresh. Order the Maple or cinnamon versions they were much better. The Potato portion on the Large Seven Hour Pot Roast seemed a bit light. Then again, I am a big eater, I was hungry. I would revisit Butterburrs again. Seems like a very good establishment and pretty good prices for the value. read more

I like Butterburrs because they are consistant. Matter of fact when we have company at work we bring them here for lunch. The SST 7 hour rump roast is the best but I suggest getting the soup and treat to go. If you eat the soup you won't have room to finish the 2 scoops of potatos and open faced rump roast sandwich. Staff is polite, efficient and they actually have a sense of humor. Can't be beat for taste and value. read more

Delicious food. Excellent baked goods. We were looking for a non-chain restaurant in the area and found this gem. Definitely would visit Butterburrs again. read more
