Gateway moves from four stars to 5... after we discovered the best damn cinnamon roll in all of North Idaho.

Today's soup special is broccoli cheddar

1.2.24: Recently moved to Idaho and this is the only restaurant in the closest town to me. This evening was my first time in for dinner. I ordered the soup of the day, which was broccoli cheddar, large shrimp basket, and the taco salad. The soup was good and had a decent amount of vegetables. The shrimp came out hot freshly out the fryer. The cocktail sauce was the best as it had a horseradish spice to it. The taco salad was really good and all the ingredients were fresh and crisp. The shell was freshly fried and had a great soft crunch to it. For dessert, I got the apple huckleberry pie. I've never had it before and it was pretty yummy. Our server was attentive and friendly and the ambience was quiet for dinner time. I was surprised how big the menu was and living so close, I'll be trying other things in the future.

Great experience @ Gateway Cafe in Plummer, ID. ! We enjoyed our breakfast in this small town. The staff was courteous. The restaurant was very clean with many booths and tables. I loved the modern feel featuring antique farm equipment as decor in strategically placed areas. The coffee was tall and strong. Our meals were good. Booth was comfortable.

French Dip with house-made fries.

Still a solid 4 stars. This time the fries were limp and over salted, but the Turkey melt was yummy.

Gateway is a great little cafe with excellent food. I had the chicken friend steak, which wasn't the absolute best I've ever had, but was close. Reasonable prices, great food, nice decor, and friendly staff. Gateway has it all.

This is a really good place to eat. Very clean and nice dinning room. Staff is very nice. We ordered for the grandkids a breakfast sandwich and french toast with sausage.. they both loved it. I had the chicken fried steak and honestly I feel like it was missing something. Hubby had a omelet scrabble and liked it.

Codi Jo's Wagon Wheel Bar & Grill - Cheeseburger and fries

Codi Jo's Wagon Wheel Bar & Grill

(8 reviews)

Preface note: Loved this place, and 'Dale' is long gone (it's called Codi Jo's Wagon Wheel, and…read moreapparently has been for over 5 years)... We zero in on epicenter bar and grills in small towns, and these folks were right in our wheelhouse. Decades old feel, clean, lots of families, and a solid bar menu with all the standards. Just what we were looking for. I'll refrain from a lengthy dissertation on the delicious food, but will mention that when they offer Steak Bites on the menu, they mean it. Some places give you breaded shoe leather--this joint gives you beeeeef. Well seasoned and tender, as well. Whole place was run by two busy/friendly gals, and the fact that both were cougar smoke-shows made the evening even better. Yes... My Wifey is slappin' me right now, but I had a nice night in Potlatch, Idaho...

Do not go to this bar. Im a local who has been been going here since 2017 on and off due to…read moreterrible wait staff. We were kicked out at 1000 pm because the bartender wanted to go home. I pissed off the bartender with an 8 % tip Jae/Jeanine, due to her being rude, and she called the sheriff on me and my wife for drunk driving after we had 2 beers. Insane! I used to love eating here every 6 months. I no longer feel welcome. If you are from out of town, not born or raised in Potlatch, you will be shunned and treated as an outcast. Its your money and you should spend it as you please but I wouldn't recommend spending it here. Go to the Palouse Caboose or Palouse Brewery where the staff is professional and courteous.

The sandwiches we got were delicious. However the dessert flight was not what was advertised. I was…read moreexpecting a brownie with ice cream, a cheesecake, and creme brulee. What we got was freezer burnt ice cream, a couple small Boston creme donut things from Safeway or a similar grocery store, more whipped cream and chocolate sauce, and another grocery store lemon pie slice with whip cream and more chocolate sauce. There was chocolate sauce on my debit card that was given to me. Overall the food was great ! Just avoid the dessert. That was not worth $20.. everything was freezer burnt and that was not the desserts on the picture nor was there a description of it being available desserts. Also our server told us when one item was not going to be fully available, the same was not done for our dessert.

I have to say, this the second "dive bar" in appearance that shocked me good…read more I came in because it appeared in a Yelp search but I had never heard of it. So, my wife and I thought we'd give it a try. So glad we did! We sat at the bar, even though there was plenty of seating, and were addressed by the server promptly. We ordered a chicken sandwich to share and the soup flight. The sandwich was great and the soups were really great! All three of them. I had a really good huckleberry cider and my wife a citric IPA. We both like our drink. As a bonus, they have several TV's to watch sports games on. They have a small patio for the warm days. We will be back for sure to enjoy good food, service and a fun time.
