    Today's soup special is broccoli cheddar
    Tracy B.

    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.

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

    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.

    Just had lunch at the Gateway Cafe. The Salisbury was very good as well as the triple deck BLT. Service was good also.

    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.

    Updated 1.27.26: Yet another awesome dinner dining in! House mom was craving pizza and salad so we…read moredrive the 35 minutes to our favorite Pizza Factory. Half way through it drive we called in part of our order. When we arrived, it wasn't very busy but the take-outs were steady the whole time we were there! Went up to the order counter to let them know we arrived for our 3 small pizzas and bread sticks and to additionally order drinks, a salad, and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup. Pizza-wise we got: a sun-dried pesto garlic, a classic pepperoni, and a veggie no mushrooms. Our pizzas were oven hot and all delicious. Pizza sticks were great too and I really enjoyed my broccoli cheddar soup--it was really cheesy! The young ladies working tonight did a fabulous job and always do! We've never had a bad experience, making it a consistent favorite.

    This was a sad experience... my husband ordered from our motel room and they told us it would be…read moreready at 6! 45 min seemed alot for a 12"pizza, but we waited and then walked in 92' weather to the pizza factory! We showed up and my husband checked in and ordered a beer while we waited. They had a large table that finally got served, and a to go order of 20 or more pizzas got taken care of next! They were slowly knocking out other orders... but after being in the restaurant for an hour, and listening to the young people in the back laughing etc,my husband went up and asked about it... the young man seemingly in charge... told him 6 min! Well after 15 min and clearly seeing that our pizza wasn't even in the oven , my husband just said we needed to leave, and needed a refund and the youngish man very disrespecting just waved him off, as if to say no refund was coming our way! A local outside told us he was the owners son! Well that stinks for the owner! We wound up walking up A block or so to a very nice place called The Royale where we received a beautiful meal with absolutely fantastic service... so good came out of it!
