| - 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.
