We have been regulars at the Kasino Klub for years and NEVER have experienced a disappointing meal, this last weekend was no different. Annually our son has a birthday (shocker) and this year, like the last 4 years, he wanted to have his birthday dinner at the K-Klub. John and Shauna made a point to spoil our son more than normal, which is hard to do, so we are so appreciative. Now lets talk facts about this place....
LOCATION - Located in the heart of Stanley on a gravel, sometimes snow covered, road. This place has been there longer than I have been alive. It is one of the very few restaurants in Stanley that are open year round, except for a couple of weeks when they do interior refresh work. I am sure the building is on some historic preservation list somewhere and we are amazed every time we really take a good look at it inside and out.
FOOD - This is a local favorite, what does that tell you? The fact is that this place serves better food than some of the high end restaurants around the country I enjoy for a much better price. You really cannot go wrong with anything but the Flank Steak specials are always my favorite and my wife who can be very picky and judgmental, loves the pasta dishes. The vegetables are always fresh, the loaf of sourdough bread always hot and soft and the salad bar is on par with Sizzler but without all the nonsense.
BAR - Want a stiff drink, occasional live band and a chance to meet a new friend or two, look no further.
STAFF - The owners live year round in this town of 63 full time residents, give or take a few. Their reputation is all they have. The locals love how John just says it how it is - NO BS! If you are looking for a place where your server wears a bow tie and kisses your butt, keep driving on by. If your looking for folks who get to know you, your family and friends, then you found it. You can usually find John serving while Shauna is cooking up a storm of awesomeness in the kitchen.
FINAL THOUGHTS - I was not paid off to write this review in any way and I expect nothing in return. I am however a restaurant owner in the Boise area with my wife and we know good people and good food and we love the K-Klub and what they stand for. Our friends and family request that we hit up that "one place with the Yankees fan who serves up a hell of a meal" every time we are in beautiful Stanley, Idaho. The K-Klub does NOT disappoint! read more
