We couldn't find a place in Wallace serving food so a bartender said the Blackboard Cafe was her favorite place to eat. Well now I agree! What a gem of a find. The place is very comfortable and service is first class. The food was spectacular and if I get back to the NW, I will be back for a date with my wife! It is a must eat there place! read more

Great food with a changing menu. When in Wallace I recommend you stop by this place. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Amazing! Thank you Elyssa for getting us in before closing, such a great meal! Your service was fantastic! Matt and David

Highly recommended and rightfully so. Enjoyed dinner on a Monday evening with only a few others in attendance. Decor is interesting and artfully done. Food was very surprisingly exceptional in such a small town. Chicken piccata was tender, flavorful and not at all overpowering. It would have easily held its own across the country in areas where obtaining staffing, produce and clientele are much, much easier. Bang up job, I will stop here anytime I'm in or around town. read more

We found this great little sandwich shop enroute to Coeur d'Alene for a late afternoon wedding. I noticed the highway sign and liked the name. It was on the main Street and easy to find. True to its name, one wall was a large blackboard with fun quotes. My husband and I both thought the food and service were excellent. Since I am GF, the server recommended an ahi tuna sandwich served on romaine lettuce as they don't have GF bread. It was great! We will definitely return. read more

Fantastic little restaurant! The owner was very accommodating, friendly and attentive. The food was even better! My cheeseburger was over the top, and much too large to finish! Not to mention the truffle garlic potatoes on the side! Wrapped it up with vanilla ice cream and fresh huckleberries! read more

came in at 7 pm, ordered dinner and appetizers... 8:00 and no food or appetizers in sight. very dissappointed as we heard good things but we're extremely let down. do better. read more

What a great little restaurant! This was a very pleasant discovery and we'll definitely be back. Charming yet simple interior with one entire wall a chalk drawing done by one of the owners. My lasagna was amble and very good. The broth with my wife's shrimp dish was to die for. Really enjoyed the experience. read more

I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to eat and I would have taken a couple of photos. But we've eaten here before and are always ready to dive in no matter what we ordered. I can honestly say there's nothing we've eaten here that was not top notch and served with a delightful smile and relaxed attitude. I'm a stickler about the lettuce in salads and always notice if there are some sad, limp bits thrown in from days earlier. The salads here are uniformly crisp and fresh. And the scampi: oy! There are limited tables so take a minute and get a reservation or just show up and sit at the bar. We ski during the day and can't wait to wind up having yet another memorable meal here. read more

Very friendly staff and cute cafe, however the food was mediocre and over priced. Do not go on a hot day because there are large windows (that do not open) and no AC. It was boiling! read more

Amazing. Best restaurant experience this year. Such a gem for its location. Ate here last year in prior location and the new facility is even better. read more

So stoked to have found this eatery! We showed up on a busy Friday, didn't wait too long for a table and then were met by such a pleasant wait person, just the right amount of service. Everything we had was tasty, and the puff pizza appetizer was delish! I can definitely see going back as there were more than a few items on the menu that would be perfect on a winter day after sking or sping day biking. I'm a fan. read more

Wow What can I say? This place is the best. Great food and a great price. Service is outstanding My only problem is I started eating before I remembered to take a picture The Cuban very very good My wife had the steak salad OMG Great Don't miss this place read more

This place seemed to have all the makings of a great dinner. The menu is a bit pricy, but we thought the food was worth it. It tasted great. Sadly, we got food poising mining from undercooked chicken. read more

Tried the new pork belly and chicken schnitzel sandwiches today. Both were DELICIOUS and super flavorful!!!

Their food was delicious. My husband said it was the best Mac and cheese he has ever had. My filet mignon was cooked medium to perfection. My son's hamburger was huge! We were shocked he could finish it. Yet again, he is 16. We will be back again. read more

Wow! Breakfast was delicious!! Service was great also! Excited to come back and try their dinners!

I got the chicken schnitzel sandwich and it was awesome! Cool spot, will definitely go back again!

The worst dining experience ever! The reason for this wasn't because of the food, the reason was because of the waitress! We were there on Labor Day and still can't get over our experience. Granted it was very busy and the waitress was "alone" as she said she always was, but the lack of professionalism and rudeness she exhibited to most of the customers was unreal! We stopped in and asked for the table by the window since the couple were just leaving. She said come back in 10' and we can have it. When we returned there was already people seated at the table!! She did seat us elsewhere and gave me a look like, oh well. As the evening continued she continued to do this to several other people, she had quite the game going. Her main focus was on the 3 men seated at the bar. She was very rude to a couple who had waited and returned and waited politely again. When they sat down she immediately went to them and asked loudly what they wanted... like it was a diner! Most of the food looked great, I ordered the Carbonara that had only pasta and cheese. I had them hold the bacon, but there wasn't even one caper, very cheesy. The ambience is very nice and loved the Beatles song on the Blackboard. I hope the owners believe this post for their sake and for the success of their business. Unreal!! read more

Delicious!! Went for dinner when Italian is the main focus of the menu. A lovely glass of Pinot Grigio for me and a stout on draft for my husband. We had the artichoke with garlic aioli, chicken piccata over linguini and the spaghetti and meatballs. All mouthwatering! Spaghetti sauce has a nice little kick to it that my hubby loved, and the chicken breast in the piccata was moist, tender and flavorful. Topped things off with a cool and creamy elderberry pot de creme. The server, wife of the chef, was pleasant and efficient. She was also the creator of the chalk art on the blackboard (thus the restaurant's name) that runs the length of one of the walls in this narrow eatery. The art theme when we dined there was Alice in Wonderland. Very cute! Great food, excellent service and a casually elegant ambiance (crystal chandeliers!) make this a must try when in Wallace! read more

Overall not good. Ordered coffee, pretty sure it was boiling water and instant, then the summer salad -this was good but I think they left the balsamic vinegar out and it was warm-who served warm salad. Anyway, since it's my birthday I ordered the $32 ribeye and Italian potatoes. YUCK! The steak was undercooked and gamey and the potatoes looked and tasted like they were from a few days ago. Husband had the fish and chips that had so much batter on it and was dripping with grease. Just yuck. The server kinda argued with me when I told her the steak wasn't done enough. Oh well, the salad was ok. The water wasn't even cold though and no ice and it was 85 outside. read more

I was not expecting the level of delicious Italian food that was served here. My husband and I both got lasagna, and I decided it's the tastiest lasagna I've ever eaten. The serving size was huge and we stuffed ourselves. If there was a negative, we would have loved more of their crusty bread, but honestly, I could not have fit it in. Also, the surroundings were upscale. We are not bar/beer people, and this has to be the most tasteful, contemporary place in town. The waitress was very good and she made us feel more than welcome. read more

Stopped in here for a quick bite on our way through town. Ordered the Cuban sandwich and split it with my wife. The pulled pork, cilantro mayo, pickle, and bread roll all played very well together. Each flavor was distinctive in every bite. My wife usually doesn't like pickles, but agreed that it was good a critical part of the entire "package". Good friendly service capped off our experience. Definitely will hit this place up again when in town. read more

I love this place!!!!! We had Chicken Marsala, and something different called Meatball Fettuccine. The service was a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. The art work is a great discussion piece, beautiful, and unique! If you don't go here either when you stay in Wallace, or just passing by, you will miss a great experience! read more

Wonderful service and food. Had dinner here on a Saturday night. Came back for a scone for breakfast on Sunday morning. Will definitely be recommending to all my friends and family! read more

Holy cow, this was the best meal I have eaten in a looong time! I had the mesquite turkey sandwich and it was fantastic!

Dinner on 9/23/20. Is there a possibility the garlic bread NOT be placed directly upon the spaghetti bolegnese and chicken picante? When it sits on the order up counter and not immediately given to the customer the bread soaks up the liquid in the food. Who likes soggy garlic bread? Would think that concept would already be established. read more

Stopped in last night to pick up some dinner to go. Got the spaghetti & meatballs and the fettuccine w/ chicken. Spent a few minutes in good conversation with the owners and even after getting home, putting the kids to bed and finally sitting down to eat, it was delicious! We will definitely be back, and hopefully we can sit down there and really enjoy their amazing food. read more

Amazing food and service. Great ambiance in a beautiful mining town that was founded 136 years ago in 1884. A must stop for foodies, history lovers, and people with an adventurous heart and spirit. Make your stay perfect by staying in Ryan's hotel. read more

Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and like Italian food. I had the chicken Parm while my wife had the Italian Mac'n'cheese. Both were great. I liked the environment inside the restaurant and the waitress we had was good at what she does. Good selection of local beers as well as your standard line up. Once again definitely worth checking out. read more

The service alone sold me. Polite and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make sure my kids were taken care of. Then the sandwiches came out and they were great! Well done, Blackboard! read more

We loved this place. Great service and the food was delicious. We loved it. Will make this an annual stop on our trip to Montana.

This place is awesome! My girlfriend and I stopped off in this quaint little town on a road trip from WA to Glacier. The staff was friendly and the burger was awesome! We both got it, both loved it. An explosion of flavor to say the least. If we ever are heading through this area again, we will make sure we are hungry and will be stopping by again. read more

Best food in the Silver Valley! Cozy environment, great service, awesome food! Would highly recommend.

Stop by there while exploring Wallace. Had the Turkey sandwich with bacon jam and girlfriend had the BLT. Sandwiches were excellent and prepared and served by the owners. They were very friendly and even recommended places to visit in town. Cool funky artwork on the walls as well. A must stop if you are hungry and in the area. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Silver Valley and we go there for dinner whenever we are in town. The service and food are always excellent. On our most recent trip I had the filet which was so scrumptious. Truly one of the best filets I have ever had including at places like Daniel's, John Howie and Ruth Chris. It really can't be beat! We topped off our dinner with pumpkin cheesecake with cranberry sauce. Absolutely delicious!! read more

Stopped by to grab sandwiches on our way to ride the Hiawatha Trail. The pulled pork cuban was soo delicious! The mesquite turkey also a hit. The bread was perfect for sandwiches, it had a light crust that gave way to chewy deliciousness. Planned the rest of our trip so that we could lunch there again, very bummed when they were closed yesterday. We will definitely keep this place in mind when traveling through the area. read more

My husband and I stopped in here after reading great reviews in Yelp. It was so good. I had the Southwest Turkey Club. The flavors were amazing. He had the Cuban sandwich and it was much better than the one we've had in Key West. The service was very friendly. She checked with us several times to make sure we were happy and even offered a refill on coffee as we left, changing to a to-go cup. We will look forward to stopping in there again as we get through Wallace a few times each year. read more

This place is so great! It's small & simple. Very friendly service-- just from observing, I think it's a cute family owned business. Their sandwiches are DELICIOUS. I had a jalapeño popper grilled cheese sandwich, which I would highly suggest. It's the perfect amount of food, and you get some chips on the side. read more

Stopped after scenic byway tour of Idaho road 456, after 30 miles of gravel, hairpin turns and 1 way bridges we were ready for some lunch! Stopped in and tried the jalapeno popper sandwich and huckleberry shake. This is a cute small restaurant open until 3pm. Owner operated and they were a pleasure. Enjoyed the whole experience! read more
