Blister's BBQ

What a great surprise at this small corner gas station. We happen to stop to get gas and use the restroom and the amazing smell from the grill made us have to go and check it out. Everyone that was eating there had amazing looking bbq, so we decided to give it a try. The special was the burger loaded with pulled pork, cheese, jalapeños........ it came with these amazing fries. It was delicious. Must try if in the area.

Such a good BBQ place and love people's reaction when they find out they're located in a gas station. The Deal has the $6.99 combo deal which my husband and I love. The scones are to die for and the Mac and cheese is amazing. I wish they wouldn't have switched their buns, they used to be flavored buns with a little bit of cheese and seasoning on top. Now it's just whole wheat buns which definitely takes the sandwich flavor down a notch in my book.

Having lived most of my life in the South it's funny when people are surprised to get good BBQ inside a gas station. Some of my best meals ever were at hole-in-the-wall places hidden back behind the pumps. Blister's is no hole-in-the-wall. It's modern, clean, well laid out, and easy to navigate, yet has all the charm and value of a tiny gas station place. Best of both worlds. What is a surprise is the breadth of the menu. Hard to believe they cook all those meats every day, yet offer such variety. Don't tell my mama that my go-to at this BBQ is tri tip, even though the brisket there is also good. And hey, it's Idaho, so you can watch the guy cut your French fries right after you order, from a big box of local potatoes. When it's crowded I sort of wish the store were bigger. But then it might lose the quality focus. And you can always carry out your sandwich to eat in the truck. Go check 'em out!
