It’s no secret that Idaho is chock full of wonderful burger joints that consistently serve up some of the best cheeseburgers you’ve ever had. We’ve featured several of them in the past. However, there’s one humble hamburger hut that stands out from the rest. Hiding out in the small town of Spirit Lake, this roadside eatery is the perfect place to grab some grub when you’re in the area. Just be sure to grab some extra napkins, because these burgers are known to get delightfully messy.
Opened in June of 2017, Messy's Burgers has already become a beloved staple for hungry Spirit Lake residents. True to its name, this little hamburger hut serves up some messy deliciousness and you'll want to try it for yourself.
The humble eatery doesn't draw a ton of attention to itself, but it doesn't need to. The food speaks for itself. Boasting a menu of classic American eats such as burgers, hot dogs, onion rings, and milkshakes, this place is delightfully classic in every way possible.
Of course, the burgers are the most popular choice for hungry patrons. Classic selections like the Bacon Cheeseburger and Mushroom Swiss Burger never get old. However, you'll find that Messy's has a wide selection of specialty burgers to satisfy any mood or craving.
There's the Farmers Mess (consists of bacon, cheddar, and an egg), the Blue Burger (mushrooms and blue cheese crumbles), and The Philthy Mess (grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, and Monterey jack cheese) to name just a few.
If you've got a really big appetite, we'll dare you to try The Messy Jesse. This monstrosity is comprised of one pound of Angus beef and topped with six slices of bacon, caramelized onions, and four slices of cheese. Eating the entire thing is definitely an impressive feat!
There's something about making a mess that just completes the burger-eating experience, don't you think? Try one of Messy's delicious creations for yourself and see why this place has gained such a following in a short amount of time. You'll find them at 6285 Maine St, Spirit Lake, ID 83869.
