Blackfoot Truckstop Diner

this is a diner and truck stop that is near Inglewood and a wonderful gem filled with character, affordable and delicious food, and a staff that will make you want to come back over and over. the menu has a lot of interesting items, pictured is the Flapper Pie which is kind of like a custard covered with the mountain of meringue/marshmallow. probably the best pancakes in town and something for the Young generation and those who enjoy classic home cooked meals. the pies are obviously amazing and the milkshake is fabulous. daily specials, huge portions, fair prices and cool decor. yes it can be a little bit dingy but it's part of the atmosphere, the food is totally worth your time. the second thing you're going to talk about when you leave this place is what you are going to have when you come back.

This diner is absolutely beautiful on the inside, filled with Americana and an assortment of kitsch trinkets speckled throughout. A model train circles the diners on a track suspended below the ceiling. Despite it not being that busy when we walked in, at around 5:15, the two waitstaff seemed overwhelmed. When our order was being taken, we got ID'd, and when satisfied with our credentials, the waitress hurried off before we could continue ordering. It took an inordinate amount of time to get what we first ordered, two beers. At that point we put in our orders. Our waitress was curt, and seemed to be in a rush, cutting off my partner before he could finish stating his initial order. We didn't exactly feel welcome. Our food was finally served a little after 6. The poutine was quite good. The gravy seemed to be of the chicken and mushroom variety, and was well thickened. The crinkle cut fries were crisp and hot, and although the curds weren't large, they were plentiful, room temperature, and tastefully arranged. 8.5/10 on the poutine. My partner's club sandwich, on the other hand, was dry, and the side of crinkle cut fries were not hot. They were unapologetically lukewarm. 5/10. We finished eating at about 6:15 and were paid up by 6:25. It's possible that our waitress was simply in a bad mood, or having a bad day, but whatever the case, her tension was palpable, and it resulted us feeling like we shouldn't have come here. That, plus the food and drinks taking a very long time despite their simplicity and the waitress's fast pace. Maybe the result of understaffing?

Fries are cold and hard, beef of beef dip is a little bit try. Mashed potato is a bit cold. Service is great, the lady is very nice.

Our next Sunday brunch spot was at the Blackfoot Truckstop Diner. It was ok. Wish the pork had seasoning. Lots of food to finish on the plate. At least we gave this place a try.

This place is the real deal and old-school diner with nice waitresses. The food portions are large. I love this place. You can even gamble in the front definitely a classic Calgarian.

Transports you back in time, the working mans breakfast eggs and toast were FANTASTIC hashbrows were lacking in flavour. Sausages were good but not great overall worth for the price. Wait times were rough. And we found a hair in our food and staff did nothing.

What a throwback this place was. Felt like I was teleported to the 90s. We went for brunch and the food was the classic diner experience you’d expect. For very affordable prices too The lemon meringue pie was fantastic. Sad they were out of the flapper today - guess I’ll have to come back soon. *expect to wait if your group is larger than 2 people. It gets busy/full very quick.

Great local gem. Service is good despite them being short-staffed. The atmosphere is always 5/5 stars!

Parking - lots. Interior - 1960's diner and has not been updated in years. Wait staff - slow and over-worked. But the job gets done. Food - Delicious. Regardless of what you're ordering, breakfast, lunch or dinner it comes out hot and good.

It's so sad to give the BFD a failing grade. I have been going there for decades. Took my kids there when they were young and more recently grandkids. The food was always great and plentiful. Not anymore. I have tried real hard to weather the ownership change but after at least five visits things are only getting worse. The food is awful, quite often cold and the portions are small. The serving staff are still the same great gals I have gotten to know over the year. I feel for them, I'm sure they hate to see regulars dropping away. Things change, that's just part of life. So I will say goodbye to an old friend.

I was playing around with Chat GPT and asked them what are things I could eat in Calgary. Suprisingly they told me to try a Flapper pie. I have lived in Calgary for over 20 years and never heard of this dish and I have a sweet tooth. Therefore I knew this was something I had to try and found out Blackfoot Diner was here the pie originated from. The truckstop itself was really good. Prices are ok and you get a nice diner style breakfast with no frill service. The flapper pie itself....not my cup of tea. You do get a nice slice but I will be trying another pie the next time I'm at this truck stop.

The service was slower than if a snail and turtle had an offspring. The bathroom was filthy and graffitied. The seats were ripped, Food was horendous. Just don't go there.

I ordered breakfast and when eating my eggs found a piece of beige carpet in my breakfast went to bathroom and the lady took that piece before I could take a picture Enjoy your food at Blackfoot Truckstop Diner

Waited in a booth for ten minutes while cold air blew on us and no wait staff appeared as we perused the menu. $22.50 for a small double hamburger and fries + %15 tip = $27.25 for each person. Downright disgraceful. After seeing this , dealing with the cold air and not even a glass of water from the staff... we got up and left to go to Rocky's Burgers just down the road where we paid $30 for about the same amount of food. There is a less than zero chance we will ever eat there. Blackfoot truck stop = Epic price gouging.

It's not a good place to eat the service is bad the language from one is very bad we sat there for hour she kept passing us with no service treating us like we where not even there if Edna was there that would not be going on

Went there for pancakes a couple months ago and the staff were rude and the pancake uncooked inside. paid $15 for pancakes and eggs. swore I wouldn't go there anymore. Returned yesterday to get take out and paid $28 for chicken fingers (5 pce) which comes with fries. this is a great place to go if you like expensive, mediocre food and sometimes rude service.

Poor Food. Understaffed. Some of the staff are horrendous. They think they're doing you a favour by helping you if they even do. I used to go to this restaurant but this Sunday will be the last. Waited an hour to order and just kept being ignored. We finally left. Poor customer service skills, average food which was tolerable until they raised their prices.

Food was great I had the pancakes with the bacon and I do have to say it was spot on except the waiting time which was longer than expected but I have to say it was worth it. A lot of lights every where which made the experience nice and pleasant. The waiters were polite and respectful to the costumers, but overall I enjoyed the restaurant and give it a 4/5.

I always come here when I can. It has a great hot turkey sandwich. Piled high with fresh roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and d actual turkey gravy. I will be the first to admit it's not 5 star, but a good meal. The staff are always helpful and eager to assist. It certainly has seen better days and the area has taken a downturn, but don't let that stop you from being nostalgic. I've never had a bad meal here.

The service was TERRIBLE. We waited over 2o mins to even get menus. Another 15mins to order. Another 30 mins to get food and had to ASK to get our drinks when the food finally came. The food was mediocre at best. People coming in were sitting at tables that were not cleared because nobody was clearing tables.

A train that circles overhead. A waitress that calls you 'dear' and 'sweetheart' in a darling UK accent (we all fell in love with Her, she is LEGIT). Flapper pie that is sky-high. Great prices. Free wi-fi. An extensive menu. A clientele that looks like a casting call for 'visually fascinating extras'. SERIOUSLY, what is not to like? We came for breakfast. We will return for lunch and dinner. The traditional breakfast was surprisingly ungreasy. The corned beef hash was tasty and well seasoned. Coffee refills aplenty and lots to look at. If I had to offer one suggestion: more seasoning on the potato 'hash browns'.

WOW!!! This place went from one extreme to the other! I have been going there for over 35 years and the last decade or so this place has really declined significantly. They used to serve you too much food, but now it's very skimpy to say the least. last night we ordered the "hamburger casserole" and the "turkey barley soup." There was ABSOLUTELY NO turkey in the soup and almost no hamburger in the"casserole." Needless to say we will not be returning any time soon. Contrary to popular belief, you can still make better food than that for a lower cost WITHOUT making people feel as though they made a mistake in stopping for a bite to eat! Go back to the drawing board, ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be a real shame to see this place close. It has been a landmark for so long! Show us the LOVE, Blackfoot!!!!!!!!!

Good quantity, good taste at a decent price. Love diners. Will be going back to try their breakfast.

Drove across town for my second breakfast visit here. Prices have gone up and quality has gone down. Smells of new management strategies. My eggs were not over-easy but almost sunny side up. The butter on my toast never melted as the toast was room temperature. The shredded hash browns were old, overcooked and also room temperature. The coffee, pancake and sausage was good. The increase in prices and decrease in quality of food at Blackfoot Truckstop Diner gets it crossed off my list. I never complain at a restaurant, I just start spending my money elsewhere.

Get a hearty meal for low price. I had the hamburger special. Bowl of soup, meal, dessert, coffee for under $15. Fresh made bread. Gravy on everything! Great service and friendly too. It was so long ago since I had been here, Yelp! Wasn't invented yet. I'll be back.

Take a step back in time and enjoy table side jute boxes, trains the circle around your head while you eat, down to the out fits on the servers. Love it! Best for a good old greasy breakfast and fluffy pancakes. Don't forget to have your flapper pie it's world famous!

This was so disappointing. Good reviews but awful food. Pancake was soggy and served on a undersized plate. A skimpy serving of nearly raw, unfried potatoes sloppily on top of the cake beside day old, rock hard, overcooked and flavorless sausages. Coffee tasted like water. Toast and eggs were only okay not great, missing a piece upon arrival. No hot syrup as promised just corn syrup tasting container from a brand I've never seen. Only redeeming quality is charming atmosphere and low price. You get what you pay for they say but we still paid too much.

It's taken me almost two weeks to decide what I thought of the Blackfoot Truck Stop. My first impression was a 2 star. I stopped in for lunch awhile back with a friend of mine and the place was packed at 130 in the afternoon with all kinds of folk, from randoms to suits, truly only the kind of variety a truck stop can attract. It took longer than it should've for a server to come clear the table we had chosen and even at that, we had to go looking for one of them. Our food came out quickly, I had a reuben with some potato cheddar soup. The soup arrived first with some slices so squashed bread. Did they really bring that to my table? So why the four-star? For uniqueness and authenticity. The servers wear pink scrubs and I swear the one serving us was easily 70 years old. She kept called me sweetie. The memorabilia on the walls keeps you entertained even if the people don't. And there's a model train that runs the loop of the restaurant near the ceiling. Many of the pictures on the walls are even lit up with tiny lights shining through them. Next time I'm heading in at 3 am. I bet it's a whole other diner then.

A solid and most of all honest place! No frills, no special treatment,no fancy this or that! They have a choo choo train riding up on the rafters and worn out tables on which thousands and thousands of elbows have rested. This place has a soul. The food is much like the atmosphere, simple, hearty goodness. It's mildly seasoned (which would be a crime in certain restaurants) but here it's part of the shtick, a lot of older people come here and they prefer to season their own food, it's a common practice of classic eating holes. Being sensitive to those who "don't like too much salt" or "don't like it spicy" also to those who have health conditions that need to monitor what they eat. One other great feature, this place is cheap and has very fair pricing for everything on the menu! It's open 24 hours and is a great late night destination ( much better than Denny's). The servers have lots of personality and are a pleasure to chat with. In my opinion, it's one of those few places that all ages, all walks of life are truly welcome and all treated with the same care. No niche crowds here, (well maybe truckers are a niche crowd!) But it really does have a homely feel about it and its one of the few restaurants where outdated and worn out decor actually enhance the experience. It is what it is ! A true Calgary classic! Nothing more, nothing less! Check it out! 4/30

Great diner. I had the Western Omelet breakfast. Staff was courteous, the Food came out quickly. Omelet was fine, potatoes were like rubber. Not coming back.

I love the nostalgia of this authentic old school diner. You can sense the history here from the well worn table tops to the train that scoots through the restaurant well above your head and the friendly service you get it feels like going home. Come in and seat yourself and you will see a broad range of people and personalities enjoying their food (24 hours a day). Somehow I suspect the food would taste way better at 2am ;-) And this is where they lose a star. From what we have ordered in the past... mostly burgers, chicken fingers and sandwiches their food is mostly pre- bought (makes me think of GFS~ please correct me if I am mistaken). My Hubs is excited to go back and try something that must be homemade off the menu and I will be happy to join him!

Holy cow! YAH....got a t-bone steak for $15.... include soup and ice cream for dessert it's today's special it's not called t-bone steak though...Porter house steak....omg...so good of course didn't finish it.... If you read my review today...go to Blackfoot truck stop. ...

We decide to go there yesterday for the turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Real turkey, real dressing etc., the food was amazing. Service was exceptional, wasn't busy and price also excellent. This may become an annual tradition

I heard from a few people that this place was great, I gave it a try a while back for breakfast and it was terrible! Decided to give it one more shot at lunch, not sure which meal was worse! This place has some of the worst food I've ever eaten, I definitely wouldn't recommend trying it and I definitely won't be back

I just love diners! Kinda got lost in this area, at first a bit industrial simply b/c of this huge land that it's sitting on, with the old-style Petro Canada there, which not surprisingly, same owner who built the current location 35 years ago..no wonder it's an antique inside, and it should stay that way lol. Even has an enclosed seating area on the left, complete with booths. Your typical breakfast/burgers joint but when I saw the lemon meringue pie, I've had a craving for it and for $4, it was one of the best slices I've had...and not too sweet or sour (well, it's lemon after all). Did inquire about their well-known "flapper pie" which is basically custard instead of the lemon part. Nah, I'm a bit old-fashioned, why mess with a great concept ;) Unbelievably, this place even takes amex! Don't let the shop name fool ya, it's quite large, good 75 seats easy, with super friendly staff..dont' dig their hospital-grubs as a uniform, but you sure can't miss their pink ;)

Have been meaning to try this place for quite sometime. I know it has quite the cult following here, however I quickly discovered that I will not be a part of that following lol. Definately an experience atmosphere wise. I felt like I was back in the 80's. Service was ok, food was ok at best. If you like processed cheese then you may like the omelettes. Overall I prefer the Deerhead Cafe for a cheap eats/dingy diner vibe. Much better tasting.

Took my gf here for the first time, she was a little sceptical at first but once she realized how good the food is she really enjoyed it. Got the omelet it was delicious

This is as authentic a truck stop diner as you are going to find - large portions, a not-to-exotic extensive menu, worn out formica countertops, reasonable prices, salt of the earth waitresses and a really varied clientele. I am sure at one time this diner was located on the wrong side of the tracks literally and figuratively, but with gentrification as it is, it is now not so bad. I have been here twice for dinner and ordered breakfast both times. Some of their dinner entrees look a little scary - mystery brown meat smothered in mystery brown gravy, but you can't usually go wrong with breakfast stuff. They have really good pancakes (but lousy syrup) and outstanding omelettes and hash browns. I had the chicken salsa omelette and couldn't believe how much chicken it was filled with. Despite our full bellies we had to try a slice of their pies. Both the lemon meringue and the banana cream are delicious and are fairly inexpensive. Not a bad place for a back-to-basics type meal.

Good service and shakes but poutine is terrible and burger lousy nobody got anything worth recommending

Conviniently open for 24/7, great place to hang out around the clock, no worries about parking lot, very fast service and super cheap.. the food we ordered was good, so much menus to choose from you can have breakfast all day , definetley will come back

Worst hash browns I've ever had. People are deluded if they think the food is even remotely good. When I say hash browns I think, hashed/shredded and fried/browned potato's. Not 6 boiled potato's chopped into large chunks, unseasoned, white and soggy mess in a bowl that I was served. I went here for the charm but this place is operated like worst truck stop in America not a place you go for good food cheap. Seriously, shred and fry your hash browns no one likes boiled chunks of potato!

Unbelievable. Not the best pie I've had in my life but the award for that one goes to a Keylime pie at a five-star luxury hotel resort that I'm literally still fantasizing about 25 years later from the four seasons in Miami Palm Beach Florida. It shows how good the pie is that I'm still dreaming about it literally 25 years later. But this was a very close second and more importantly it happened only five minutes ago so I am still salivating it was absolutely delicious. This is a pie that looks like a lemon meringue but it's actually called flapper pie. I've never heard of flapper pie before but we just moved to Calgary from Toronto and this tourist magazine had a photo of this 8 inch tall flapper pie that I've been carrying around in my purse for six months so today I finally bit the bullet, it took two hours of dedicated driving through bumper to bumper rain rush-hour traffic which was miserable but believe or not it was worth it. I bought two pieces of flapper pie and one piece of coconut cream. It is far too underpriced I think everything came to $13 and I would've paid 30! This all just happened five minutes ago this is by far the fastest yelp review I've ever posted cause I want to make sure everybody knows, you should go to this restaurant for the pie!Now that I have read their full menu online I will definitely return for dinner as well! Congrats you guys I don't know how you made a pie with meringue this high and soooooooooo flavourful custard but you definitely know what you are doing and I so appreciate it PS If you are looking for a restaurant locally; Whatever you do, NEVER go to the Calgary restaurant The Guild. The insane manager literally called the police and tried to put me "under citizens arrest" for accidentally knocking over a glass of wine- see my full review here https://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-guild-calgary

This is the place.... Hungover on a Sunday morning? Need something to make you feel better? Need coffee? Is it 3am and you need some flapper pie? Blackfoot trucks top is the place you wanna go. Is it fancy? No. Is it the best food in the city? No. But you are going to be made feel welcome, by the awesome staff. No matter what time day or night 365 days a year. (Jerry on the counter is one of the nicest people I've ever met). The staff are quick with coffee and always friendly. You're going to get consistent diner food. If you want eggs, toast, bacon or pancakes or a burger. this is for you. You're going to fill you boots and slip into a food coma on your way out the door. it even has a model train running around the place. What more could you ask for??

I'm surprised that the Blackfoot Diner is even on Yelp! Despite the tacky factor, this is one of my favourite places in the city. I started going here probably 8 years ago as one of the few 24 hour coffee places in the city. I've spent MANY a night with an endless cup of coffee, listening to old country tunes from the jukebox and consuming a steady stream of comfort food. The decor is tacky-old-diner-chic, complete with an overdose of pink and a wall art with backlit 1950's movie stars. Look for the Furby in the train. You'll know what I mean if you've been there. The part that most of you won't know is that I know this place as "Edna's". Edna is the original owner - a feisty old woman who knows how to run her business. She's often in there, checking in on things. You have to respect the woman for continuing to run her business well into her eighties. Fave elements: -really cheap prices -24 hour kitchen & bottomless (decent) coffee -great service Fave foods: -beef dip - anything with gravy (best gravy in town) -greasy perogies -wide assortment of pies (love the Banana or Coconut Creme) This isn't someplace fancy, but if you're looking to go somewhere to chill out without judgement or if you're low on pennies, stop on in. A great choice for those of you working evening shifts (been there). See you at Edna's!

On to other 'firsts' experienced this weekend. After our golf game, the 4 of us (actually, allow me to clarify - the boys) decided to head over to the Blackfoot Truck Stop for breakfast. Since the ratio was 3 boys who wanted to eat at the truck stop vs. me, I bit my tongue and went along with it. When we first pulled up, I looked over at my friends and said "WHERE have you brought me?" At first glance, it's exactly that - a truck stop. Massive trucks parked everywhere, a lube shop across the street and mammoth-sized parking lot. But then you get inside and it's *awesome*. Talk about a scene out of a movie! You walk through the doorway and it's as though you've travelled back in time. it's just like one of those breakfast places you'd see on the big screen. Bikers/Truckers and all types of people crowded at various booths, perky waitresses, pink walls, a toy train that rotates along the ceiling, TVs so you can watch while you eat and cheap, cheap food! They serve pretty standard breakfast fare - omelettes, pancakes, etc. etc. I gotta be honest - I wasn't crazy about the food. It was what you would expect however, and it was super cheap. Each of us paid around $10 for breakfast and drinks and we all had an obscene amount of food left on our plates after all was said and done. I'm told this place has been around for DECADES. We actually met the owner and she was such a sweet woman! She personally thanked us for coming and rather than being the type of owner that just sits back and manages, she was actually the one working the register! Overall, a very interesting place. LOTS of character, LOTS of ambiance and LOTS of food. This definitely isn't the type of place you visit for the food, it's the type of place you visit for the experience!

Looking for a delicious breakfast in a laid back environment with a side of people watching? Prefer an atmosphere where you're either a hun or a dear? Bottomless cups of coffee and a breakfast dish that includes pork chops? Then The Blackfoot Truck Stop is perfect for you with prices to match and the decor is just busy enough that every visit is sure to reveal a new gem.

oh!!! so huge parking space!!!! but almost all slots look full. :P ... The restaurant inside it looks like a old model classic. The tables are like too old and has the elbow marks over it.. and also you could engrave your name on it to see it when you visit after 20 years :P ( just kidding).. The prices were reasonable but the food was pretty awesome... and the quantity was ample too... Not to forget , they charge per person 5$ during lunch and supper hours.. :) ... Service was a quick too.. But the waitress are not at all friendly.. Even one of my friend complemented the food and there was no response from the waitress :P Overall: Not a bad place to visit though,..

Without the Blackfoot Diner there would be many nights where I would have gone home drunk, hungry and alone. Thank goodness they're 24hrs. The menu is classic diner fare, burgers, fries, shakes, steaks, hot turkey sandwiches, all day breakfast and home made pies. Always check for the specials too. The waitresses are an always sweet bunch, decked out in pink scrubs and ready to take your order. If the model train isn't running when you come in, if you ask nicely they might turn it on for you. I've had many memorable meals here (though the circumstances that lead me to eating here at 3-4am shan't be mentioned) with friends and even family and everyone left happy. Who, after all, doesn't appreciate good, honest food at fair prices?

I love this place. I first started going over 20 years ago as a college student. Affordable and delicious, always open. The staff are professional, friendly and remember you if you come more than once. This place feels like home for all kinds of characters. Would really recommend going here.

There's nothing I love more than a good and decent diner; and this place nails it. Real people, Johnny Cash & Hank Williams Sr. on the jukebox and waitresses that care and tend to your needs with a smile and a "hun"; there's no pretention here; only good food, good ole country music and a train the rolls around and around, high above your head. It's the perfect way to start your day, to cure what may ail ya, or if you're a truck driver; to grab a hot homestyle meal between stops. Open 24 hours a day and a Calgary establishment for over 50 years, I swear the walls are wishing the could tell their stories because I'm sure they'd have plenty to share. The Western Omellette is delicious and filling, their hashbrowns aren't deep fried; which makes them even better, and the bacon is cooked perfectly. Best part is everything is made fresh to order; the only bummer is the coffee. I found it weak and thin, but that's never going to stop me from going back again, and again and again and.....

I had a hard time deciding whether or not to give this review 3 or 4 stars...but ultimately, the service was so great and our experience here warranted 4 stars. I've driven by this place many times, but it wasn't until I read the Yelp reviews that I was interested in trying it out. It was late, we were hungry, and we didn't want fast food, so I was able to convince Josh to take us here. There were a surprising lack of truckers, but a few tables full at 9:45PM on a Friday night, mostly of regular people like us. Not nearly as sketchy as I imagined. It was everything I expected it to be...right down to the Pepto Bismol pink walls and kitschy decor. It was neat to look around and see all the pictures and memorabilia - the place felt authentic and the menu had something for everyone. What made our visit here was our waitress. She was amazing. Probably the nicest, coolest chick I've ever had for a server and she was great! I decided to play it safe and ordered Chicken Fingers and Fries, while Josh ordered the Trucker's Breakfast. We were entertained by the table beside us while waiting for our food, which came out quickly. The food was good, and both our tummies and our wallets were satisfied. Upon paying the bill, we left our server a pretty decent tip as she was just so darn nice. She was genuinely taken aback by this and looked shocked. What was pocket change to us meant a lot to her and that made the whole experience worth it. I'll definitely be back to this charming little diner for a burger and a milkshake - it might just be my new favorite late-night joint!

If you wake up with a hankering for greasy eggs and bacon, fat, fluffy pancakes, thin coffee you can drink for hours, and nostalgia pieces that still think they're contemporary because they're wholly functional , then this is the place for you. Nothing fancy but absolutely honest and filling. You are treated as a customer, hungry from the road and in need of sustenance, post-haste. The people are friendly but don't suck up. They know what you want and give you the opportunity to get it. You blend in because you're made to feel unexceptional. It's a liberating eating experience. There is no special parley required here; order and eat. For parents, the diner has a miniature train that runs around the upper-reaches of the diner. My boy loved it. The bathrooms are clean too, for what it's worth.

When I'm driving to the gym after work, I always drive by the sign "Blackfoot Truck Stop" and I've always wondered about this place. One time after the gym, one of the guys asked if we wanted to go for brunch and suggested the truck stop - COOL! So that's how I first heard about it, then I decided to take my brother here for brunch after the gym on Sunday. Blackfoot Truck Stop is located on 9 Avenue SE, as you pull up, it looks kind of dodgy AF, big semi-trucks everywhere and a large parking lot then you look over and there's the cute little diner, hole in the wall. My brother and I walked in and one of the first things he noticed was the neat train that is moving on the tracks. I looked around and thought this was a cute Ma and Pa joint where older people come and catch up and sip on coffee., kind of has this 'cheers' vibe. There were two small groups ahead of us but they were seated right away. We were seated near the dessert display in a comfy booth. The menu is already on the table as well as napkins, jams, syrup, milk/sugar for coffee and they also have a daily special posted on the boards. Our server came by and said hi and poured us two waters. We browsed the menu - breakfast, lunch and dinner is served as well as desserts and their famous flapper pie. We were both craving some breakfast eats so we both ordered the 'working man's breakfast' which consists of a pancake, 3 sausages, 2 eggs, some potatoes and a side of toast. I like this because I can get my little sweet fix which is the pancake! We both ordered poached eggs so they came on the side - they were overdone but to be honest, I didn't have high expectations. The pancake was nice and fluffy, the sausages were good, potatoes were nice and soft and the toast was warm but nothing was out of this world. The service was great, waters were filled and the plates were being taken away when we were done. Our waitress came by a few times to ensure things were good and she was smiling from ear to ear and super sweet. My all-time favorite part of my whole experience at the Blackfoot Truck stop? CANDY AT THE FRONT! 3 candies for 10 cents!! I grab a paper bag and fill the candies - I mean the candy is nothing different from any other 5 cent candy but its THREE for 10 cents! What a steal!!! Haha, if only you knew how much I love '5' cent candies and I got super excited since they jacked up the price at 7-11s ;) Overall, the Blackfoot Truck Stop is a place you visit when you know you can cook your own food at home but you're really too lazy to do so or it's a place you want to get a fast, inexpensive bite to eat. I'd say definitely come here for the experience, it's never overly busy and everyone is sweet. Next time, I will try their famous flapper pie because it looks huge and delicious.

Is this place for real?? OMG this is a blast from the past. I felt like a kid again! I was waiting for the waitress to tell me to kiss her grits when I asked for more water!! Pink , bubblegum walls, 80's updated decor! Counter with stools! Table tops faded from years of hard wiping. You can't recreate this stuff! Food is just old school diner, good, hearty stick to your ribs food! The pie...good gawd its like a 6 inch high lemon meringue pie. Please share with friends and family, its HUGE. This was my first time here and I will be going back with friends for Mom's cooking :)

This is a great place to get some fuel. No fine dinning by any means but good food none of the less. Be prepared to a flash back to the 1970 when you walk in, which in a way makes this place trendy. Food is reasonably priced and service good. It is a great stop on your way in or out of town to grab a quick bite without spending too much.

Wow, this place is overrated by most reviewers, if you ask me. I've been to many truck stop restaurants in my time because as a kid and tween, I traveled with my truck driving dad in Canada and the U.S. I also had a client that worked in one so I visited him on site. This place is brutal and I actually was taken aback when I walked in for the first time today. The decor is tacky. Not in a cool and classic way, but in an "I'm too lazy to renovate and won't lose business if I don't" kind of way. I do not recall any truck stop joint that I've ever sat in to look this gaudy or smell like body odor. Maybe it was a patron and not the cushions, but that was my first whiff in the door and it also put me off. The servers are very friendly but due to lack of communication, no one approached our table for ten minutes and that's because we didn't wave someone down earlier. Our food arrived quickly, but the chunky potato hash browns were not browned at all and very blah. I had the cheddar cheese omelet and somehow it also was blah. The only thing I truly enjoyed was my buttery toast. I asked for tea and wasn't given a choice. The only factors that nearly warrant Blackfoot Truck Stop two stars is the pleasant staff and the foamy soap. I was asked to meet here and will never return if I have my way.

The thing about diners is you have expectations. Fabulous food against a backdrop of crazy decor, sassy or friendly service and maybe just a wee bit dirty. Hey... it's a truck stop. That's the experience. I have heard people rave about this place and I have to say... I don't get it. We were a group of four. None of us wanted to be the "wet blanket" and complain and wreck the brunch. But later, comparing notes, we laughed our proverbial behinds off. Because we all agreed we would NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN. Some of the highlights (but not an exhaustive list as that would take too long)... Coffee. Got ONE CUP. Asked for refills several times. Never happened. Isn't the bottomless coffee cup the hallmark of a diner? Food was cold. Everyone single person at the table had a cold meal. Even the gal who had the soup before the main dish said it was cold. What????? How is soup cold? Don't you just take it from the heater thing and serve it? Potatoes (hash browns) were not undercooked but it was like they were precooked and then just microwaved. Not browned at all. Like they had never seen a griddle or pan. Really not tasty. Asked for no vegetables (because they looked gross at a nearby table). They came on the plate anyway and the copious amounts of veggie "juice" had soaked the fries completely. When it was mentioned the waitress rolled her eyes and literally walked away without a word. Eggs were asked to be over hard. Came runny. (This was mine and because it was cold AND runny - gross - I just ate as much as I could of the undercooked hash browns). Eggs benny that my friend had were cooked to order but the hollandaise was in a weird tasteless jelly lump. Maybe because it had been sitting and cold or maybe that's the way it is. It was scraped off before being eaten. The ham was apparently good. And the pie. But what about the pie? That's what people go for. Nothing special. A sad, disappointing pie like the one your single uncle buys from Safeway and brings it to thanksgiving. No one finished their piece and no one asked to have the leftovers wrapped up.
