IDAHO FALLS — Burly Burger has only been open three months, but it’s already making a mark on eastern Idaho with juicy burgers, mouthwatering sides and huge, creamy milkshakes.

The restaurant opened in November at 3484 South 25th East in Idaho Falls and customers have fallen in love with the food.

“We felt it would be a really good market for a burger place. There’s not really anything like this here and we felt it would be a really good opportunity to bring the food to Idaho Falls,” says Hayley Smith. She and her parents, Dennis and Cristen Hurst, are the franchise owners.

If you’re extremely hungry or want a challenge, “The Brigham,” named after Brigham Young, is the burger for you.
