    Little Moose Lodge was conveniently located from our Airbnb so we decided to give it a try! I wouldn't write home about it but it "got the job done". Pros: - Nice patio plus plenty of time of room inside. - Friendly and quick service. The only con was that the food was very average. Not bad at all but something very expected. I got fish and chips, and fish was very good but "chips" were disappointing and I was super excited to try first potato in IDAHO! Overall, menu has a decent selection of food and drinks so there is something for everybody!

    This is definitely a nice stop. Although we didn't stay at the cabins they look lovely with their log siding and nice green area. The restaurant is a bonus. It has a lovely patio but we opted to sit indoors as it was sprinkling a bit. Rustic and clean with lots of tables plus a bar. The server was very nice but very soft-spoken so we had to ask her to repeat herself often. We were impressed with their menu and selected the salmon dip appetizer which was really yummy! They lightly fry the pita wedges so they are buttery good. We had the Melvin's Killer Bees lager which was cold and refreshing. I opted for the Duck breast and the Hubbs had the Dam burger. It was decent and cooked nicely. The duck breast was good but the peach topping was more of a sweet bbq sauce than a glaze. The mashed potatoes and grilled veggies were good. The salad was ice cold and crisp. We couldn't resist buttermilk pie for dessert. We definitely want to come back for breakfast.

    The Little Moose Lodge & Restaurant in Irwin Idaho (population 198) is one of those gems that is absolutely darling. Nestled in Targhee National Forest and next to Palisades reservoir. So ya just kinda know its gorgeous scenery will take you to a simpler time . Who doesn't need some of that these days. Lil' Moose is a destination not just a stop off! Their cabin style rooms are cute as a button, very clean and fresh and steps away from every outdoor experience you'd want in a mountain vacation. The restaurant and bar has this very cool down to earth vibe and the locals and staff are beyond friendly, inviting one might even say ;) The menus great, their BBQ is stuff of local folk lore!!!

    Poorly cooked steak with overly sweet bbq sauce and dry "garlic" mashed potatoes

    The little place is nice and homey feeling. I wanted to love it from the reviews I saw, but I left feeling ill. My "medium" steak was almost raw and covered with a sweet, sticky bbq sauce. To me, a steak should be flavorful on its own with light seasoning- no sauce needed. The inside of my steak was almost cold and I couldn't eat anymore of it. The "garlic" mashed potatoes were dry and had no flavor too. I also ordered no onions in my food, and it came out with purple onions in the veggies. They said they couldn't separate them because they were pre-made. I was hoping for fresh, local food and left feeling sick to my stomach and unsatisfied. On the other hand, I ordered the wings and they were crunchy and had great flavor. I loved the sauce, and I was able to get two different flavors. My friend had the smoked duck and it was flavorful. The skin was a little burned. She liked the potatoes with the sauce from the duck and enjoyed her veggies. The sauce was flavorful and married well with the duck. I can only recommend wings. I don't feel well, but I contribute that to the poorly cooked steak.

    On a recommendation from our RV Hoast, Bobbi, we went and tried this newly opened eatery and man o man am I glad we did. The Little Moose restaurant was a great spot. The ambiance was very outdoor and the people we met who work here were amazing! Our server, Marcy, was one of the nicest people we have met on our trip so far. The lady tending bar and also serving was Karlie who also was a very sweet lady and very helpful. The pictures will show you the inside and the outside seating. We were one of the first people to get here for dinner but soon after the floodgates opened and the place filled up. No wonder, the food was hot and tasted great!! We both had the Louisiana soup. It was hot and full of flavor. We shared the fish and chips and this is the first place where I didn't have to send any of my food back because it was cold. We got 3 large pieces of fish with fries and coleslaw. Plenty of food for sharing. We also shared the cheesecake for desert. That was good also. I pray this place does well and a lot more people besides the locals stop in. Great stuff here y'all. They made Ed's top 10 spots to eat while on our 6 month tour of the country. I told the ladies to contact YELP and get a sticker for their front door. Now that I'm the first to review this great spot I hope more of my YELP crew will find their way here and review it.

    Superb service! Excellent and very tasty food! This place obviously takes pride in their establishment. When I saw the barbecues on the side of the building were clean and well loved, I knew we had to stop and give it a try. Visiting The Palisades Reservoir/lake near Alpine, WY? Take the short drive to the town of Irwin, ID. You won't be disappointed!

    Gary and Pat make this place rock with their old and new dishes best burgers around and the Gumbo and flat iron are to die for.
