In April 2011, I returned to the town of my youth to help my parents move from there to their new home in Oregon. Now in my childhood, I have fond memories of chocolate banana milkshakes and succulent, juicy cheeseburgers. Fast forward that twenty-five years. Literally nothing has changed. Everything is still the same great burgers, the same great shakes, and the same people working behind the same counter ringing up the same locals on the same cash register. The same video game machines from my childhood were still sitting there, as if untouched by time. On my visit to The Wrangler Drive-In in 2011, I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, a large French Fry, and of course the chocolate banana milkshake. The burger was very thick, the bacon was warm and cooked exactly how I prefer it, the bun was toasted to perfection, the lettuce was crisp and cool, the tomato was juicy, the onion was strongly flavored, but not too strong, and the burger sauce was the icing on the cake. It was served with a generous helping of crinkle cut french fries, lightly salted as I requested, and the shake was exactly as I remembered it. The entire experience reeked of the nostalgia of my teenage years, and the memories of hanging out with friends, and of a school dance which was held there came flooding back to me. And the icing on the cake was running into a girl whom I had actually gone to school with there. It was like I had driven there in a time traveling DeLorean and everything was just as it had been left. If ever, you find yourself passing through Fairfield Idaho, by way of Highway 20, you would do yourself a terrible injustice by not making a stop at The Wrangler Drive-In. facebook.com/RiksBurgerR…

Good burgers, frys, & shakes. I got the spicy chicken (they call it the flaming feather) and it wasn't at all spicy but it was still tasty. The curly fries and marshmallow shake were great.

If you want a great burger and a shake so thick you'll hurt your mouth sucking it through the straw, come here! I have been coming here since I grew up here and have always loved the food. I love stopping here after skiing or hiking. The Road Kill Patty Melt is my recommendation with a Bacon Maple shake to have for the road.

Wrangler Drive-in is a good stop while driving towards Sun Valley. They serve typical fast-food: sandwiches, burgers, fries, and shakes. I really liked their fried pickles and vanilla milk shake.

Great fast food with local flair in Fairfield. This is the perfect quick stop on the way to sun valley or camping. The milkshakes are thick and tasty. Pick up the paper menu for explanations of the burgers and for other choices that aren't on the menu board.

Great place to stop on the way up to the mountains for camping hiking wheeling or fishing. Everyone here is always friendly, and fast. Plus Fairfield has a wonderful small town atmosphere that makes me hate the city everytime I stay there. Good burgers, with descriptions on the paper menus by the register. Their menu has expanded over the years and has lots of new items and take n bake pizzas. Dont forget to try the weekly specials on the dry erase board. A few gluten free options for those of us allergic to gluten. Free drink refills and milk shakes so thick I give up on the straw and use a spoon.

Previously I would have given this favorite little stop of mine in on of my favorite Idaho town a five star. I have been coming to this place since I can remember. Good memories the first time I locked the keys in the car when I was five in front of the Wrangler. First burger with ham, the Wrangler. So when I came back to Fairfield for the weekend of course I had to stop and get a milk shake and tots! I was so sad. Now maybe my memory is failing me, but the fruit shakes no longer have fruit! WTF! Bad move Wrangler! The tots were good naturally. They also remodeled recently. The old decor is out there are new tables and no records on the wall. I thought they were a bit cheesy but it made the place. Also the jukebox is gone. There is now a coke machine to fill up your own coke. Good addition. All and all the wrangler has changed so be prepared. And I miss the old shakes.

This is a cool tiny place with a jukebox. Good milkshakes, and burgers. Fairfield is well worth a walk, with some good looking historic buildings. The office of the grain silo was about 2/3 covered in snow. I might apply for a job there.

First of all, my husband and I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, MN, so we've ate at a few burger joints. (I also grew up in a small Minnesota town where I worked as a teenager at a drive-in and also at the local Dairy Queen.) I also travel for business so I have dined out in several cities including Seattle, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, etc. My husband and I were traveling from Idaho Falls to Boise while traveling on vacation so we had lunch here on Wednesday, 05/20/15. Some of the noteworthy items to say about this restaurant: 1. This is a very small burger joint with only 2-3 employees. 2. All of the food we ordered was prepared on the spot. The hamburgers were very good and the malts were high-quality ice cream and homemade. (We ordered the mediums and they were very big. I would order a small, personally.) If you order a burger, note that there is a very small upcharge to have tomato added to it. (Makes sense since not everyone likes tomatoes.) 3. You can see the cook while she was making the food 4. The food came out very fast. 5. I used the bathroom while we were there and had to walk past the kitchen to get to the bathrooms. The kitchen and women's bathroom was spotless; super clean. For being located in such as small town as Fairfield, we were very pleasantly surprised as to how good everything was at the Wrangler. I would highly recommend stopping at this place if you want a good burger, fries, onion rings, malts, etc. It is really a gem.

Good selection of hamburgers. The Snowbird was delicious, and everything you want in a fast food hamburger joint. Juicy without being messy. The curly fries were more like curly shoestring fries, which were good, but more description would be nice. Great selection of shake flavors, including add-ins that allow for great combinations like chocolate peanut butter. Can't ask for more, anywhere. Great find.

We stopped here for a burger and their home made onion rings. What was lacking in atmosphere was more than made up for with friendly staff and good food. If you decide to get off the interstate highway and take the road less traveled; this place is worth the stop.

Do not eat here. We were ignored from the second we walked through the door. When I finally caught the eye of a staff member the walked away as fast as possible. After a few minutes someone finally acknowledged us. Our child has an egg allergy so while ordering I asked about egg being present and was laughed at. We settled on chicken strips and 2 salads. The chicken was pink and raw in the middle and our salads tasted funny and had the romaine heart/stem (salad garbage) mixed in. The owner was rude and gross looking. She was wearing dirty crocs with no socks as part of her work attire. Terrible experience.
