Just across the street from the warm springs lodge. This awesome little stand offers basic lunch / snack items with a smile. Everyone around it are having fun and the neighborhood dogs happily stop by for a snack. I had the cannon ball.

Cute little hot dog stand in the middle of town. I had the chili dog and a lemonade for a perfect lunch. Get here while you can because this lot is being developed soon.

Perfect afternoon snack or light lunch. Conveniently located in the middle of town. Tables and umbrellas to sit at. Staff was super friendly and the hot dogs were tasty.

Dang it. I wanted this place to be way better. Maybe I built it up in my mind. But it was just okay. The hot dogs were boiled :( I wish they were grilled. Good price though for the original dog we got the kids. I got the kraut dog. Just what you imagine it would taste like and it came with a side of chips.

Chicago guy? Irving's Red Hots right here to save a few bucks while getting a taste of home? Count me in. Directly across from the base area at Warm Springs base area. Just walk 50 yards to get an authentic Red Hot with all the fixin's and be back on the slopes 15 minutes later. It's right beside where the ski bus drops people off. Save your wallet and add to your daily vertical feet.

This place was great for a quick stop for lunch while riding bikes for a few hours. Decent price. $24 for a family of five. Hot dogs are small and boiled. I got the chili dog. It was pretty good. I wish the dogs were grilled though. They also have Mac and cheese, which my boys loved. It's just kraft from a box, but that didn't bother my boys. read more

I don't know what the last reviewer's problem was. Like everyone else knows everything in the Valley is pricey. This is a welcome cheap oasis like a nother reviewer said. In the summer you will find it next to Giacobbi square on Main. In the winter they locate next to the slopes across the street from lower warm springs. I love grabbing a polish and chips and a coke in the middle of a ski day. Often the line is far shorter than at the lodge and ofcourse its way more wallet friendly. I like to not blow my wad on lunch so I can enjoy s.v. nightlife. Nothing wrong with the dogs! read more

Everything in Sun Valley costs a lot. You pay out the ass for most everything. Thats why Irving's Red Hots is like a hot dog oasis in the middle of an expensive nightmare. The Kraut Dog, Chili Dog, the Bowling Ball (chili in a sourdough bread bowl), Mac n Cheese....they got it all. Better than paying 4.50 for a Coke at the lodge. read more

Definitely the best lunch deal in otherwise overpriced Sun Valley. The dogs come loaded with "the works" (onions, relish, tomatos, mustard, and, of course, hot peppers) and a bag of chips. Hot chocolate is $1 instead of double (or triple?) that in the lodge, and the best part is the resort doesn't seem to mind if you bring your meal into the lodge to eat it. Sort of strange when they bus your Irvings wrappers but I'm not complaining... read more

Ok, so maybe not the best dog in the world, but certainly a good one. Been coming to the valley for years and the visit just isn't complete without going to Irvings. I'm partial to the Polish with either "the works" or with kraut. In the summer I delight sitting on the knoll and watching the world go by. In the winter, the same only in the Warm Springs Lodge. You just have to try Irvings, come to think of it, I'm going to go twice on this trip so I can indulge by having each of my favorites. read more

I'm definitely here for the flash-gordon-fast and very kind service, the ease of the menue, the deco (I didn't know how much I love wooden bears!) The deco is with a lot of bears both taxidermy as as also wood engraved/sculpured. The walls are covered with vintage Sun Valley posters, Fish & bait illustrations and carved bear deco. The bar has a decorative roof with a taxidermied bobcat and skiing stuff, which makes the Kneadery even more cozy and specially unique as a venue. The loss of a star comes from the blandness of the egg scramble, even though they use high quality eggs; the weird taste of the wonderfully presented whipped butter in a cup -- I love when non-ice-cream looks like ice-cream somehow. Is that real butter? Not discernible by taste. My stomach sadly reacted to that detail. I might need a separate conversation with my stomach about this, but it stays that it tasted weird also to my husband! In past years I would order an omelette with cheese and it came with a bland plain egg omelette folded in half and stuffed with cheese. Maybe an eggadilla (Huevadilla?) would be more of a correct description. Not sure if this technique is an American classic (sorry for slamming it), but I'd recommend to add the cheese to the eggs *before* frying the mixture. The cheesy richness of the cheese enhances the eggs tenfold! My hb really enjoyed his half order of the two-two-two menu item (2 pancakes, 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of bacon), just the egg was overdone and not even a little runny. Why is it 4 stars and not 3? I really hope the cook figures out cooking eggs one of these days. In the past, I have had the breakfasts with other people, and they all loved their orders which were non-egg-related.
