I've had breakfast here before and enjoyed it, and the server was excellent and very helpful. She recommended the chicken fried steak dinner, which I usually love, so I decided to give it another try despite not liking it years ago. Unfortunately, the food tasted very greasy and bland. The gravy had an odd, artificial flavor, and nothing tasted fresh, including the corn. The mashed potatoes had a good texture but lacked flavor, and the salad was okay, though I didn't care for the pickles on it. Overall, I couldn't get past the greasy, flavorless taste of the meal. Everything had that same weird taste that's difficult to describe. I'm guessing it was cheap grease/oil.

I surprised my husband with a little getaway to Lava and made a reservation at Rogue Restaurant…read moreafter reading all the rave reviews, and wow, they did not disappoint. Take my advice and make a reservation, especially if you're visiting on a weekend. This place is hoppin'. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the kindest woman and seated quickly. Our waitress was warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely. Now, come in knowing this: the food is to die for, but there will be a wait, and it's 100% worth it. Your server won't let your drink run empty, the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and patience is rewarded here. We ordered the pot roast and the salmon. The pot roast was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the salmon was cooked to absolute perfection. I'm really hoping we can get in for brunch today, but I didn't make a reservation... rookie mistake on my part. Don't pass this place up. I've been coming to Lava for nearly 20 years, and Rogue Restaurant is officially my new favorite.

It reminded me of my mom's soup and was just perfect. The kindness was enough on its own for all the stars but the food was delicious and tasted like home.

The food was good, but it was not worth the experience. If we knew it would take so long we would have gone somewhere else. The outside seating is comprised of patio tables and chairs lining the exterior of the restaurant. It was nice at first, but there's a bee that likes to fly around which even the server was familiar with. We did outdoor seating and getting there at sunset we were sitting there in the dark with barely any light by the time our food arrived (almost two hours to get all our food for a party of four - 4 entrees and 2 appetizers total). The service was friendly but it was awkward seeing some people getting served even when they were seated after us. I loved the chicken wellington and would say that is the most unique dish at their restaurant. The food is overall good quality but this restaurant is probably better catered for pairs who are looking to celebrate a special event together. Indoor seating preferred over Outdoor seating.

for Location/Ambiance . for Food/Drink…read more Love the rustic cabin vibes overlooking the Snake River. Great view and ambience overall. Wasn't as impressed with the food and drink - here's my take but I always say go taste for yourself as we all have different perspectives. Fried Calamari - soft and battery. I prefer it cooked to perfect crispiness. I also like an option of both marinara and garlic aioli sauce for contrast. Ahi Tacos - thick flavorful pieces of Ahi Tuna cooked perfectly with delicious crumbled cheese on top. By the time I got to the third one the tortilla just fell apart and had to eat with a fork. Super juicy. Bloody Mary - Took way to long to make and got it mid dinner when we ordered it first. Had to cook the bacon and shimp they said so just note that time delay when ordering. Presentation was stunning with the umbrella of peperoncino and three olives attached, two curled pieces of bacon and two shrimp prawns hanging on the rim of the glass. Spicy which I love and had good flavor. I could only drink half because of how salty it was - maybe due to the bacon in it. Apple Cobbler: Absolutely topped off the experience. Warm apples with a nice soft pastry crust and cold vanilla ice cream for the contrast. We got the caramel sauce on the side and just drizzled it on to our taste. Service: Server was very nice to us overall. Somewhat knowledgeable on the menu - sort of. Seemed like we were being rushed though even though there were still plenty of seats available. She was asking if I wanted a dessert when I literally had half a taco in my mouth lol. Would we go again...possibly just to give something else a try at some point.

My husband, daughter, and I came in for breakfast and were served by a waitress named Breanna. This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. From the moment we sat down, she was cold, dismissive, and clearly irritated. No greeting, no introduction, not even a basic level of courtesy. Throughout the meal, her attitude was consistently rude and condescending. At one point she rolled her eyes at my daughter, which was completely unacceptable. I also witnessed her speak to an elderly man at a nearby table in a way that felt demeaning and disrespectful--it was honestly uncomfortable to watch. She was also training a new employee, and while the trainee was kind and professional, Breanna was noticeably harsh and dismissive toward her as well. It raised serious concerns about how staff are being trained. I'm a nurse and have also worked in the service industry, so I understand stress and busy shifts--but this went far beyond that. This was a pattern of rude, hostile behavior that affected multiple customers. Because of this experience, we will not be returning to this location. Extremely disappointing.
