Waitress was excellent Coffee and toast were good Chicken fried steak tasted like it was rancid. Breading was non existent and what little was there, was burnt. Gravy was terrible. Luke warm as well. Potato's were probably the worst I ever had. Eggs , ordered over medium were burnt and over hard. If not for a great waitress, it would not have even gotten one star. read more

Walked in and sat at the counter - the waitress greeted me, brought me a water and I ordered all within the first 2 minutes The restaurant was relatively empty when I sat down and got busy after about 15 minutes of being there Heard the cooks say my order had crispy hash browns and I thought all was good my breakfast should be out soon 30 minutes later all the people who arrived after me all had their meals and my breakfast of eggs over easy, sausage crispy hash-browns and toast was no where to be seen The waitress complained to the cooks and they must have overlooked it because it came up within 5 minutes of her complaining... Toast = Cold Hash-brown under cooked when I asked for crispy Eggs - cooked perfect Sausage patty = good (nice and thick) Overall - waitress Great 10 Cooks 1 Food 2 Atmosphere 7 (Old Fashion Diner) UPDATE: It's now been a couple of hours since my visit and I have the runs - I have not had the runs in years and here I am with my stomach in full girggle mode... read more

Went there with my ex in 2020, both of our chicken fried steak was undercooked, and he got sick, I didn't get sick because my stomach is abnormally strong, but if it wasn't, I would have! Also, a lot of weird old men were staring at my ass, even though I was obviously in a relationship! read more

We, as a family, always loved Mitchell's. Good food at a great price. Always friendly and fast service. We have gone here for years! However, that will change. I took my kids out to eat and we all wanted Mitchell's. Food and service were great as usual. Went to pay and as we went to leave a couple was standing behind us waiting to pay and there they had a dog on a leash. Not a service dog mind you. I little wire haired thing. We were not happy at all! I don't go out to eat with other people's dogs! I don't want dog hair in my food! We did not find any but if they allow more and more dogs in you can bet there will be dog hair all over. It is gross and not hygienic! I pay to enjoy a clean fresh cooked meal. It to sit down with a strangers dog. We probably will not return. That is a bummer because this was our family's favorite place to eat. read more

I recently stopped by to grab some lunch with my family here and the food nothing special, basic, boring and depressing. I thought nothing of it, until I got home. I noticed my stomach was hurting, and minute by minute I was agonizing in pain. Thankfully, my wife Sharon called the ambulance and we later found out I had got food poisoning. I repeat, FOOD POISOINING. I immediately called the restaurant about this and they promptly hanged up. Do better. read more

Service was excellent. Friendly staff here is great. Prices are good too. My issue was with the food itself. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast, which included scrambled, a biscuit and hashbrowns. The cf steak wasn't completely cooked inside and the portion of scrambled was very tiny. There was little to no gravy with the order and the hasbrowns certainly weren't fully cooked either. The portion size of the food/meal was very disappointing too. Told the server about my issues with the food and she wanted to replace my order but when she told me how long it would be to replace my order, i told her to forget it and I gave her a tip paid for my underwhelming, bad meal and I left. I won't be back read more

French dip was amazingly delicious!! Whoever prepared it, definitely put some Love into it!! Thank you Sincerely, 2 To-Go Girls read more

If you like a good ole country style breakfast, then you'll enjoy this place. Our kids love the pancakes!

This place should be five stars! I came to Idaho to visit family, and my uncle said this restaurant has really good food, so we went. It's inside a truck stop, but the restaurant is small but quaint. Our server was sweet, and the food was SO good! Every time I come back to Idaho, I'm eating here for sure! read more

I came in here tired from work all day and waited 25 minutes for water! Then another 35 minutes to order when I should have been leaving my COLD food arrived! read more

Fast, non expensive, good food, and such awesome service. I always notice everyone is working hard in the restaurant when I'm there every time. They have Great staff that actually care and take care of people. Mitchell's truck stop is like on of my main go to for a good quick breakfast. read more

Truck stop! Food was quick, hot and better than expected! Will definately go again!

Not the best chicken fried steak. Biscuits were undercooked. Eggs and hash browns were satisfactory. Best thing about breakfast was the Farmers Brothers coffee. read more

Traveling back from Yellowstone, we made a stop at Mitchell's because of the reviews. If you like big portions and good food, and great service then Mitchell's is the place to go. The service was excellent and food came quick and hot. It's about what you're looking for, it was a great deal and If I'm ever back in the area I'd stop again. read more

Nice local diner with traditional meal options. Love the tator tots. The ham with breakfast is a huge piece. Chicken fried steak is a little different - less crust but with an enjoyable charbroil taste. read more

I can't believe how many stars this place has. Cheap food, terrible service. I had sausage and eggs with sourdough toast, and my husband ordered chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns and sourdough toast. The eggs were okay. Salt and pepper always fixes eggs. The hash browns were undercooked. The cooks didn't even try to pretend to brown them. The toast had a touch of butter in the center of each slice. The waitress didn't even come back to see how everything was so that I could ask for more butter. She was too busy talking to some guy who was sitting at the counter. The gravy was watery and bland, and the steak was some kind of chewy pressed meat. We did order fried pickles to go because I never had those before, and those were very good as was the sauce that was serves with them. read more

DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS!!! this is the best little diner in Idaho falls!! We love love love it!! Good old fashion home cooking diner food!! Great food great prices. My family of 4 can go all get adult breakfast plate $33. Friendly staff always amazing with my kids! Even seven they are packed full and super busy they do a great job at communicating and letting you know what's going on!! Most underrated place in town in my opinion! If your scared of COVID or people sitting close. Better go somewhere else it's a family type environment everyone talks and chats with everyone full capacity great environment. read more

This is one of our regular places for breakfast. The service is great and so are the prices. A wonderful hometown diner experience. The wait staff is very friendly too. read more

Awesome home style cooking at its finest! Great service and reasonable prices! You may wait for a minute but, it will be well worth it!

This place is amazing. Don't miss it if you're passing through Idaho Falls. It's stuck in a fantastic time warp, and a local told me once that they remodeled in the past 10 or so years and put it back exactly the way it was. You can't go wrong with the food, the servers are exactly as they should be in a place like this (skeptical of outsiders, but warm up), and the people watching will make your day. The fries are all that really matters in the end. They are real fries. Idaho potatoes cut fresh every day. No lie, the fries might be worth the drive from Salt Lake City. read more

I stopped here for fuel and to get a bite to eat. Whatever you do. Do not eat at the restaurant inside the gas station. It was the worst food I've ever eaten. The girl was counting money. Then tried to make my sandwich. The lettuce was brown. The bread hard. I ordered a Philly cheese steak had no cheese. And the meat was worse then dog food. Run as fast as you can from that place. And yes I threw the sandwich in the garbage. This place has 0000 stars. read more

Great diner environment caters mainly to truckers passing through. Food is great though. Excellent homemade fries, biscuits and gravy was delicious. Hot roast beef sandwich was good and worth eating. Server was excellent. read more

The food is the best in the town! You MUST get the hash browns with gravy! I will come back every time I am in town.

Not that I'm an expert about ID Falls truck stops but I was thoroughly impressed by prices, food quality, service and of course the smiley fries! Only in Idaho! Go here and you'll be full and satisfied for less read more

The place to go if you want some classic American fare!!! It's super good with nothin fancy or flashy. Just good homestyle food

Food is always acceptable. Tonight, I got the new server - Cheyene. 1 cup of decaf coffee, never checked back after bringing me what I ordered. She could take lessons from Kia or Tia. She took my money and asked how things were. I think I said "Food was good, service sucked".. read more

If you're on US 20 in Idaho slow down near Idaho Falls and take Exit 310.The restaurant is part of what is currently KJ's Travel Center and it's definitely worth stopping!!! Mitchell's has apparently been around for years. Our waitress told us about coming there as a kid with her dad as well as the multiple ownership changes in the adjoining truck stop, which never affected the quality of food and service at the restaurant. Anything you might consider lacking in modern decor is immediately forgotten once you take your first bite of food, if not sooner. The place is clean and the seating is comfortable. The staff (of both the restaurant and travel center) and patrons are friendly, helpful, and great for people watching (as noted by another reviewer, Aimee C.). The food is beyond amazing and all homemade! We had bowls of vegetable beef soup with lots of chunky veggies and tender beef. Seasoned perfectly. Yeast rolls nearly bigger than your head came with it. We added an order of fries because 1)we were in Idaho so we figured the ingredients must be fresh and 2) another reviewer (quoting Aimee C. again) said they "might be worth the drive from Salt Lake City." These fries are cut fresh every day and cooked to perfection (except we prefer a touch more salt) and served with fry sauce, which we were told is "an Idaho thing". It tasted great. If veggie soup isn't your thing, don't worry. There are enough options/variety on the menu to satisfy almost any craving, from comfort food to salads or even nachos. Prices are very affordable especially when you see the portions and taste the quality. Servers are friendly and helpful. Don't forget to look around the store before you leave. There's souvenir-type items, sodas, snacks (not that you'll want them after your meal), etc. The flavored popcorn (which is also colored according to flavor) caught our attention. We bought two flavors to bring back and share. The caramel apple (green and caramel colors) wasn't bad, but the huckleberry cheesecake (purple and cream colors) was outrageously good! Everyone in the office at work wants us to bring them more. Look for Mitchell's Restaurant on Facebook for specials, new items, and giveaways.

Great find along the way driving OTR. They really only need one item on the breakfast menu....the 12oz. Bone in ham! Loved it!!! Nice place all around. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times, and it's always seemed to miss the mark. One of my friends used to work there, and quit recently because he was highly disturbed by the lack of sanitation. The managers and the other cooks "wash" their hands in the fry bucket, the water bucket where the hand-cut fries are kept, and I have personally seen waitresses leaving the bathroom and returning to work without even washing their hands. The kitchen is filthy too, I'm amazed they even pass their health inspections!! Despite the many good reviews about the food, steer clear of this place. Your health is more important than eating a good burger. read more

So so good! He had chicken fried steak and said it was delicious. Hand made...great quality. I had ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and country gravy. Huge portions, cheese packed, and the gravy was creamy yummy. Great place for hangover food for sure. Oh and the staff kept up with coffee and water... Super friendly. read more

Mitchell's Restaurant - Inside of Mitchell's - American Near Me - Idaho Falls, Idaho

Not bad at all! We picked this place specifically because we were towing a 42' trailer, its easy in and out from the freeway and has LOTS of RV/big rig parking!! The food arrived fast, and was tasty. After a long morning on the road it was exactly what we needed to get us home. The waitress was nice, and our food came out piping hot and quick. It is a very diner'y place with a mom-and-pop feel to it, and was affordable to boot. It we are ever in the area again we will stop back by. read more

Met my cousin and his family here on their suggestion. The place is a hole in the wall and the decor nothing much to look at but the food was great. I had a 1/2 order of biscuts and graving and it was very good. The biscuts home made as well as the gravey. The prices are very reasonable. We enjoyed the place and would stop again when in Idaho Falls. read more

This has the best breakfast in Idaho Falls. I'd know, I've been to every breakfast place in town and this place is by far the best. Large portions, flavorful options. I always get the ham and cheese omelet and I've never been let down. If you are an out-of-town-er or a local that's looking for an awesome breakfast spot. Come here and thank me when you arrive. Tell them Aaron sent you. read more

I love diner-type fare. Of course, breakfast food is my specialty. I have never been dissappointed here. It's just a truck-stop, I know. But, even in the dire, super-busy straights I've seen them in, they still can put out a good product. However, don't order anything with their "salsa", it's just tomato sauce. read more

Called ahead to order fish sandwiches with fries. Asked to have the buns toasted. If they were waved over the grill I would be surprised. I was told it would be ready in ten minutes, I said we wouldn't be there for 15 minutes. Food was cold. This is the third time I have eaten here. Definitely not impressed with the the food. Maybe it's what I order. I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and the only thing decent was mashed potatoes and gravy. read more

Not familiar with this area, we stopped here for lunch and wow! What a good home cooked style meal. It is definitely on our list to repeat when back in this area. read more
