Beautiful Restaurant, very nice people. We were very excited to try "the new place in town". We called in for short notice reservations a couple times prior and were told they were booked. Appreciate the honesty rather than making us wait a long time for a table and not having server or kitchen capacity to serve us. Tonight I made a reservation for six. We arrived and were promptly seated by a very friendly and cheerful hostess. The Restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside. Well designed and tastefully decorated. Can't wait till summer to eat with river views in the daylight. Our server suggested their Jalapeño Dip and homemade chips as an appetizer. We also ordered the pulled pork nachos to have plenty to share. The homemade chips and Jalapeño dip is a real winner. The nachos not so much. Nachos had a cheese sauce on them that reminded me of what you get in a gas station or cheap Mexican fast food definitely not worthy of the look, feel or expectation of this place. On the positive apps came out quickly and well ahead of our entree's. Our server brought fresh bread as well. It was possibly the winner of the night. Most of our table ordered light, I ordered the MahiMahi which came with a dinner salad. The salad was pretty mediocre, I ordered it with Blue Cheese dressing. While I don't think what I got was blue cheese the dressing was very nice and I ate the big chunky stemmy lettuce just to get all the dressing. We had a wide variety of entrees at the table, MahiMahi, burgers, fish tacos, prime rib Philly. With a full variety of sides. My mahi-mahi was cooked perfectly, tender and moist Cuddos on getting it right. Unfortunately there was no taste, the fish doesn't really carry much flavor naturally so it depends on a good preparation. This one missed the mark, I found myself searching for another caper or something on my plate to smear it in to let my pallet know I was eating. It came with steamed vegetables which were tender but not mushy, just how I like, and a baked potato which to my surprise was smeared in that nasty nacho cheese sauce. That was a real let down, how can you do that to a beautiful baked potato and in such a nice restaurant. Didn't see that coming. The others at the table found much the same, presentation was nice but the food lacked flavor and definitely didn't match the beauty of the building and decor or the kindness and cheer of the staff. The burgers were very disappointing, small, over cooked (ordered medium and appeared and tasted beyond well) and lost in a huge bun, then served with fast food style fry's from the freezer, in the fresh potato capitol of the world one would expect better. I have traveled extensively and eaten in many of the worlds best restaurants and unfortunately a few of the worlds worst. EdgeWater is neither. We'll return and try the steaks, maybe that will be where the magic lies. They did a lot of things right and I have high hopes for the future. Unfortunately the food left me wishing we'd have gone somewhere else. read more

My friend and I were visiting from Boise and came across this restaurant. We were looking for a place near the Snake River and were thrilled when we found this restaurant. We arrived at 7:00 and were seated right away. The view was awesome. The service and food was great. I would highly recommend. read more

Limited menu but the food we all got was great. It's a gorgeous building. I will probably only be returning for dessert, their crème brûlée was to die for. read more

Beautiful restaurant on river- amazing sunset views. Food was very good, and we are picky ;-) service was excellent too- we stayed at the Hampton Inn next door so we ate there for convenience but it was a great find, i would definitely seek it out on another trip through Burley. read more

See all

Looking for a location for an event or just a great lunch/dinner give Edgewater a try. We held our daughter in law 's Celebration of Life there today and they were awesome. Good food and friendly, efficient staff. Andrea Byers really goes above and beyond. read more

This will be an honest review no affiliation with anyone or anything or any establishments. Got there at 5:00 my party didn't show up till 5:15. We ordered appetizers the calamari and the stuffed mushrooms for the price neither one of them was substantial enough for two people. We both had steak our salad with mediocre they put the salad dressing little bowl on top of the salad which is gross and there was a lot of brown lettuce in there and the tomatoes were not very red and there was only one small cherry tomato cut in half. I ordered the filet and my partner ordered the New York Steak. My fillet was very good I ordered a baked potato and it wasn't hot enough to even melt the butter because the butter came Frozen which is a bad thing for a restaurant the New York State person his was good he liked it. For dessert I had the creme brulee and he ordered the cookie thing with ice cream, I got my creme brulee first and then we continue to wait another 15 minutes for his dessert when it should have been brought out at the same time. And then our server messed up the first bill and then the second bill was the corrected one but that one was still wrong because there was an appetizer on there that we didn't order. Our server was Nola and she didn't even come to check on his mid meal would I go back again no. And the restaurant was pretty empty like maybe three other tables. read more

It was ok. Food was fine. Server was nice. Over sold the bread pudding. The dining was nice right on the river.

Food took too long and they just didn't care to provide silverware until we asked after we got the food. Burger was good to order. Nice views. Can certainly improve. read more

This place is fancy. The food was amazing. Tastebuds delighted. But they are pricey and they take forever . read more

Coming back from Salt Lake City with my in laws looking for a sit down restaurant for lunch and came across Edgewater. Loved the location on the river and a new establishment that is very modern and clean. Waited for about 10 minutes before being greated by a server to take our drink order. Took about 10 more minutes to bring our drinks, asked for straws, waited and waited and waited! Finally got up and found the straws myself. Server took our food order when she brought the drinks which was great. We ordered 3 salads with salmon and a flatbread pizza which should have taken about 20 maybe 25 minutes! Finally after asking 40 minutes into it where our order was we finally got our food! And the restaurant only had maybe 5 tables full which had already been served with food. The food was delicious and salmon was cooked perfectly so that was great. The wait staff was far from impressive! It would be a great establishment if the staff cared! Great food, POOR Service! read more

Finally a quality restaurant in Burley. It's was fresh and delicious. The river views were so enjoyable. This place is really top notch.

The service was absolutely fantastic, unfortunately the food was not. One experience was enough for me. I will not be back.

Took my daughter and grandkids to lunch here yesterday. Beautiful views, but the food was just okay. It definitely wasn't worth the $113.40 for lunch. The chicken was incredibly dry. I definitely wouldn't recommend the additional $6.00 to add it to a Cobb Salad. The big surprise was when I got the bill. The waiter never mentioned that there would be an additional $2.00 charge to add dressing to a salad. If you want to go for the views...you won't be disappointed. I wouldn't recommend going for the food. read more

This restaurant is a much needed addition to the area. The steak is wonderful the drinks are delicious and the service is professional and kind. The ambience is warm and inviting not too pretentious. I give it five stars! Call ahead for reservations Friday through Sunday. read more

A great little upscale dining place, nestled right on the banks of the Snake River with copious patio seating options, so the location and natural ambiance are really the draw here. Pretty eclectic menu without overwhelming you with choices and we both very much enjoyed our selections (burger and fish tacos). They also have a children's menu, a cornhole setup on the patio, a grassy area between the restaurant and the neighboring hotel where we were staying, and a walkway along the river. So it's quite family friendly and there are plentiful opportunities for kids to entertain themselves while they wait - our extremely squirrelly six year old quickly joined up with the roving band of feral patio children and was happy as a clam! Speaking of waiting, prepare to do a lot of it. It probably didn't help that we came for Father's Day dinner when things were on the busy side, but the downside here is that everything is exceptionally slow. I gather this place is also relatively new, as the staff - while very nice - came off as very green. We first checked in with the hostess, gave our name and number, and were told about a 35 minute wait. She seemed a little uncertain when inputting our information, so I followed up when it had been 45 minutes, was told by a different person we weren't on any list but there was plenty of open seating on the patio and we could get seated right away :confused gif:, but okay. It took probably 15-20 minutes to be acknowledged by a server after seating, then similarly long intervals for everything else, to where we were looking at close to a 2 hour turnover despite not getting appetizers or dessert. Also had to ask for silverware & napkins after the food game, were at first given two very small cocktail napkins (lol), but the second time was the charm! It's important to note that with the beautiful surroundings, our son enjoying himself, and no place in particular to be, we were perfectly content to wait until the cows came home. But if you're on a time crunch or trying to get in a quick lunch break, you might not want to to chance it. Ultimately I think a lot of the shortcomings were reflections of being a fairly new place on a busy night. But based on the positive factors, I could easily see this becoming the choice fine dining spot for miles around once the kinks get worked out. Looking forward to trying it again on our next summer jaunt through Burley. read more

Wonderful service, great atmosphere, delicious dinner! We look forward to our next meal at Edgewater. read more

EdgeWater - The Salmon was delicious! - Steakhouses Near Me - Burley, Idaho

food was good and fast service. BUT the water in the other hand was absolutely awful. it seriously tasted like dirty bong water. the fountain drinks also had a disgusting after taste. read more

Very good food and attentive service! Highly recommend this restaurant to those visiting Burley.

This is an absolutely beautiful restaurant. We had the best Sunday afternoon lunch on the patio with a perfect river view. The service was exceptional, and it was probably the best French dip I have ever had. If we lived locally, we would easily eat here 2 to 3 times a month. read more

Today some friends and I had lunch and it was great! The food was so good! Chipotle Chicken Tacos, Prime Rib French Dip and a Steamboat Burger. Everything was wonderful and our server, Destiny was AMAZING! We decently be back. read more

We first went to Edgewater in warmer months when we stayed at the hotel next door. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Good food, the river right off of the patio was beautiful, it was really great! So, when we were traveling through Burley again this December, we were looking forward to eating there again. To the point that we didn't eat much all day in excitement of a big dinner from Edgewater. We decided, this time, we'd prefer to enjoy the food in the warmth of our hotel room. So we ordered takeout. Dang... super disappointed!!! We ordered the shredded pork nachos, the cobb salad (with chicken and ranch), and a bison burger with fries. The nachos were NOT what they were described as on the menu. It was potato chips (fried?) with some cheesy side sauce that had bacon bits in it. Decidedly NOT nachos... same price, tho! Then, I opened my salad and it was beautiful, but zero salad dressing. Yes, we could have walked over to the restaurant to get some, but, really?? It was freezing outside... not worth it. The burger was good, but the fries were just regular ol' shoestring fries. You'd think a restaurant in Idaho would have some killer fries. So, the food was good, I would recommend you actually go to the restaurant rather than doing takeout and discovering you didn't get what you wanted/needed when you get back to your location. read more

The food is fantastic and Burley is lucky to have a good restaurant. Service is a little squirrelly, but hopefully they attract better looking staff. Ambiance was nice. Coming from a town where we didn't have great food it was a very pleasant experience and I eat there once a week read more

Tried this place for the 1st time today for the Mother's Day brunch. Place is very nice, but for it being a buffet and the price you paid there was not a big selection. Very unorganized, and the service we got was not great. For us serving our self for most of the meal, we were almost done by the time we got our drinks, even water. We rarely saw our waitress, she was supposed to offer us new clean plates to go back for more food, but we had to go find our own. Our drinks sat at the bar forever until finally until the bartender brought them to us. The thing that really upsets me is that we got poor service, but they tacked on 75 dollars for the tip!!!!! What! We didn't get $75 dollars worth of service for sure! So it wasn't a great experience. Food wasn't bad but the experience was poor! read more

fantastic location on the river, dog friendly and great food. ill be back. the service was quick and friendly. what a find

This wasn't the worst dining experience I've ever had but I wouldn't say best either. The restaurant itself is clean and beautiful. The views from the patio are excellent. The environment however felt almost sterile. There is no background music and everything is open enough that a private dinner conversation felt like a presentation to all in the restaurant. Even at whispers. The food in presentation was impressive. I don't like that as much as we paid to eat there that the food was almost kind of bland. We enjoyed Calamari, the EdgeWater Burger, and Fish & Chips. I didn't dislike the food, I just wanted to like it more. As far as service goes, it was not great. Our waiter was so painfully slow. We waited and waited to place our order. We waited a long time for the check. He didn't come back to our table enough. The other wait staff wasn't all that helpful either from observation. This place was worth a try but I was a little disappointed considering that the expectation was "fine dining". read more

Chelsea was our server and she was the best!! The food was phenomenal and so was the service! I highly recommen!!!

The food was AWESOME, the service was great. I had the chipotle chicken tacos and I was stuffed. Just the right amount of tang. We will definitely come back again read more

Took over 30 minutes to get our drinks and the food was all luke warm. Its a shame that the food is meh.

I made a reservation well in advance online for a birthday, party of three. When we arrived on time they said they didn't show I made one. I showed the confirmation on my phone and the hostess confirmed I made a reservation for the time/date. She said "ya sometimes the online reservations work and sometimes they don't". After telling us they had a wait time now and making us wait a bit we got a booth. Our waitress who took our drink order advised she was still in training but by herself. She took our drink order and it took 35 mins to get two soft drinks and one cocktail. She came back to our table three times to ask questions about a whiskey sour and to inform us after 25 mins one of our soft drinks we ordered wasn't available. I then asked the hostess if we could get different service as it was a special occasion and the night was not going well. She said the waitress was new and that if I said it was a birthday we'd get a discount/free desert. That wasn't the point of what I was asking, I told her we are more than happy to pay full price for all things ordered (hadn't even had our food ordered at this point she was still working on the drinks) but would like different service. We continued to be served by the trainee but they did have a seasoned server take our food order and check on us a few times as well. The food was good but not amazing. We've been here twice now and both times the service was bad. It was an expensive meal and we felt like an inconvenience for asking for the minimum good service. We won't be back. read more

This new restaurant was beautiful and the view was splendid! We got sat and was told there was going to be a little bit of a wait because there wasn't a lot of servers on the floor. Our hostess was on it! She sat us and then ended up being our server. She said she didn't want us to wait, which was nice. She was super sweet to me and my wife. She asked about our day and how it was going and then was constantly found back at our table asking if we needed anything while we waited for our food to come out. She kept our sodas topped off, we got waters on the table. We didn't want rolls to leave room for our late lunch but she still asked us if we would like any. She was doing the same thing to the table next to us too! It looked like the place was busy for the Fourth of July Holiday, that's good being a new place. The food was great! And the service was great! Just expect a little bit of a wait on the food when the restaurant is busy! read more
