We sat outside in perfect weather. The menu was varied and the food delicious. We had the homemade gnocchi and apple crisp. Chef /owner Jeff was warm and friendly, great find! read more

Great outdoor seating! The huckleberry toast was to die for and the service was amazing!

**New Sweet spot in Cascade **! We loved the vibe of this remodel of the old Chief hotel, You can't miss the same which is still visible from the road. Also nice is that the restaurant is one of the few in Cascade that has plenty of free parking. I enjoyed the adult grilled cheese with its huckleberry compote Gouda cheese and arugula. Can't help it miss The draft beer fountains and the outdoor patio was simply lovely and pet friendly. The indoor decor is well thought out and very Family friendly. Will be back each time we pass through Cascade. Today we were on bikes and very hungry but that did not influence my review ;-) Super friendly staff, fast service and beer selection. read more

I wanted to love this restaurant. I turned to Yelp to find a great restaurant to eat at on our way from McCall to Boise. The food was good, but portions are small for the price. The service was terrible. Server was slow. Things forgotten. We would ask questions and we would get a blank stare. With some better help, it would warrant 4 stars. The value of meal to price is a bit underwhelming. $8 for a kids bowl of buttered noodles. $18 burger that looked like it was from the kids menu. Both could be improved by management making it a 5 star. read more

My family and I were so excited to see the "Now Open" sign and were even more impressed with the food and decor. Having a place to get a great coffee, delicious food, choice beer, and an activity in Cascade is a real addition to the area. The salmon was very good, solid burgers and fries, and enough pasta to serve two hungry kids in one entree. We will be back soon! read more

Wow what a hidden gem. We stopped in today find the best wait staff and food. We had the cod and pulled pork. The cod was hands down one of the best fish and chips my husband ever had. My pulled pork was tasty but the bun was a little much for how much meat and coleslaw was present. Sweet potato fries also were amazing. read more

Stopped by for lunch on our way back to Boise with 5 teenagers and discovered a hidden gem! We ordered apps and salads which were all delicious. The fried pickles are a must try. You may be tempted to drive through Cascade but consider stopping for a bite or drink. You will not be disappointed! read more

The food is outstanding good on a hot summer day along with one of their choice beers. The owner Jeff is a super kind and knowledgeable owner and takes pride in his work. The bar is fully stocked and loaded and the outdoor patio is a perfect place for a sunny day. If you choose to sit inside the lighting and ambiance is killer and you won't regret stopping here! read more

It's always a pleasure to stop in here. Great food, good service, and a solid craft beer selection. The front of house was friendly and inviting. Asked about my day, and what I was up to with my weekend. I was waited on by a very nice young man. Great all around. If I can offer one piece of advice, stop yelling "Pickup,.... Pickup 2nd time" from the kitchen. It takes away from the nice environment and experience you've created. Come deliver the food yourself, send out another staff member for table service, or invest in a paging system. Just my $.02 Otherwise, keep up the great work. read more

Delicious food and service we stopped there for lunch on our way to McCall. We had a few out of town family members with us. We had the pulled pork and steak sandwiches. Perfect meal. On the way back we stopped hoping for breakfast and they were not open yet. The owner (Sean I believe) saw us at the door let us in and made us mochas and cofffee and whipped up a yummy breakfast for us before opening time. This will be our go to stop in the future when visiting the mountains from our home in Eagle. What a wonderful unexpected experience. read more

The service was awful and we did not even go at a busy time. We got there around 4 and it took an hour and a half for us to get our two plates. Also asked for lemonade and never received it. The truffle fries my husband got were raw and not done. Overall not worth the money or time. read more

Not a lot of choices in Cascade when looking for a place to eat on the way through town, but we hit the jackpot when we found Palooza! The ribeye was 16 ounces of pure deliciousness, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The asparagus and truffled mashed potatoes were great as well. Wife had the cheesesteak sandwich, also amazing. Great choice of beers. We wanted to try their apple huckleberry cobbler but it wasn't available, so the waiter recommended their bread pudding. We loved it. Our son had the burger and finished off with the cast iron chocolate chip cookie a la mode while fighting us off for bites. Highly recommend this place and we will for sure keep it in mind whenever we find ourselves in Cascade. read more

This place is great, good vides, clean, and food selection has a bit of something for everyone. I have eaten there several times and would direct patrons away from the burgers... A bit lackluster... So we just don't go there for that! BUT the other dishes on the menu are great!! My latest meal was a delicious Kale salad with a Salmon add on. My dining guests had the Ruben and a Cascade Cheesesteak, both equally delicious! And the homemade soup (a tomato bacon bisque that day) was absolutely mouthwatering!!! It bumped up my 4 star rating to a 5! Staff is friendly and attentive. Heard the Pork Belly Mac n' Cheese was a must try!! Next time! read more

Had the pan seared salmon and risotto and it was amazing. Great wine list, Wonderful staff, nice atmosphere, quick service. read more

My favorite place to eat and drink in Cascade. Excellent burgers, very good regional beers on tap, very friendly service.

Superb. Made us omelets. French dip epic. Coffee was killer. Bacon was lit. Best food in Cascade for sure, maybe all of Idaho.

The grilled cheese and the chips were so good! Nice and seems newly remodeled restaurant with friendly staff. Thanks for a great meal! read more

Great Breakfast and service! We love this place and ALWAYS make a stop when we are in town.

Over priced and underwhelmed. We were greeted by a woman that seemed irritated to be seating us. This was our second time trying-our first was right after they opened and we chalked up the poor service and so so food to the fact that they just opened. So we thought we'd try again. BUT not the case! Same grumpy and horrible service and mediocre outrageously priced food. You can get a great burger and smiles for half the price just down the street. It's sad when someone comes into a small town and brings their toxicity with them. This restaurant does not exude small town friendliness. And from what I understand from the locals the owner is not a very nice person, constantly trying to get the other restaurants and bars in trouble by reporting them on made up accusations. Sad that something like this infiltrated wonderful small town Cascade. read more

What a treat in cascade to have such a great restaurant! Good food choices here are sparse so it so wonderful to find this restaurant. Service was awesome, many great choices on the menu. The food came out hot, fast and was very delicious! We will definitely be back!!! Thank you! read more

Best fried pickles I ever had!!! Food was amazing and the staff was awesome. We will be coming back for more soon!

Had lunch there today. The waiter was amazing, funny and had great recommendations. The food was so good. We had the cheese steak, the reuben and the fried pickles. The chef came out twice to ask how everything was. Who does that anymore??? We will be back!! read more

This is one of the best places around for those foodies. The service is always friendly and the establishment has a great updated atmosphere. It's a must to stop in :) read more

This place is 10 out of 10 on everything, quality and taste of food, service menu options, drinks! probably the best place for food and drinks in the area! read more

Great ambiance, well decorated. Food was amazing, service exceptional and great prices.

We recently had lunch here for the first time. They have an excellent selection of microbrew beers and the service was good. I had a brie burger which was good but unfortunately was just not really hot and the cheese hadn't melted. Others in our party had a black and blue burger and a beet salad both were pleased. I am only giving it 4 stars as it took quiet a while to get our food when there was almost no one else in the restaurant and the food was kind of luke warm. But it is very nice for the area and I will be back. read more

Food, service, and ambiance was good. Would visit again if passing through. Location is very convenient when traveling from McCall

Wow, what a burger. I asked to customize the menue burger, and they were happy to make it my way. Jalapeño and beer cheese. The best burger and fries I've had ever!!! read more

I've been in a few times, once for lunch and once for dinner. While it's definitely the best place in Cascade (mostly because it's clean and serves more than grease), it always leaves me a bit underwhelmed. The ahi tacos taste great, but had maybe 5 pieces of ahi for 15 pieces of wonton. The beet salad was drowning in dressing, the kale salad was just a bunch of kale, the ribs were boring. The menu and food could use some enlightenment. Service has been good. You might be greeted with a frown (like we were recently), but that frown quickly turned upside down, and they were attentive and accommodating. We'll be back. I think they are just new and need to work out a few kinks. PS- i feel bad for the turtles in the boring tank at the front desk. Every time I go in their little eyes beg me to lead a jail break. read more

This place was great!!! In town for a fire and was looking for somewhere to get out of the rain. Found this place on here and decided to give it a shot! It was fantastic!!! Great decor and atmosphere. For dinner I got fried brussel sprouts with a delicious aioli, and a ruben with homemade chips. It was delicious. 10/10 will repeat next time I'm in town! read more

I'm giving 5 star because I WANT this place to succeed and thrive, and they are well on their way. Cascade has had very few quality dining options for many years, and the few that exist have very limited hours (we love N Fork Cafe!). I stopped in here for a random lunch, and the joint completely exceeded my expectations and I was so pleasantly surprised and pleased to know that this is now an option for Cascade! They've got a great beer selection with local brews (keep the Broken Horn Jalepeno coming). And the menu looked great. I had the special BLT for the day, which was delicious but I would say add a dollar to the price and gimme one more layer of bacon Great place and a needed addition to Cascade's restaurant scene. Keep your hours open enough to allow for the evening traffic back and forth from Valley county and Treasure Valley commuters! Thanks so much! read more

The staff and owner were so accommodating. Wanted some items that were not on the menu- such as mimosas and they hand squeezed oranges for us. The food was amazing! Most of us had the special which consisted of prime rib French dip with rosemary au jus. Outstanding! Suggested by the owner, I had the sweet potatoes fries with maple aoli. OMG. They were so good with the dip. You have to try their fried pickles with salt and vinegar aoli. Another hit! Try this place - you will not regret it. read more

Such a great surprise! We stopped here on our way through town and it was so delicious! Bison burger and truffle fries. We got a coffee for the road and everything was top notch. Wonderful service. We will definitely be back! read more

Found this place when visiting Cascade Lake on Memorial Day. Had the hamburger with fries and it was very good, the service was excellent. Fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it. read more

Been here several times now. The chefs here are fantastic! Have not had a bad meal here yet!

Make it a point to stop by next time you're headed to or through Cascade. Great service, great food, great atmosphere, and great prices. Honestly, we've driven by this place for a couple years now and have never stopped by. Saturday we stopped by after going to the hot springs. We called ahead since we had 15 people, 8 of those kids between the ages of 9-5. They said if we were patient they'd happily serve us. The kids sat at one boothe and the adults at another. We ordered lots of drinks and food and everything was surprisingly delicious. We ordered, the artichoke hearts, fried pickles, fries, Brussel sprouts, falafel dish which everyone raves about, the burgers were good, the salmon and mushroom risotto was delicious. We'll all definitely go back. One kid ordered the butter noodles and the waitress, the cook, and her had a competition to see how long it would take for them to come out, 4 minutes btw. Through it all, we never felt hurried, unwanted and that was displayed by the playfulness, conversation and attentiveness of the staff. We feel bad we've missed out on this place for 2 years but now that we know, we'll visit soon and frequently. We won't always go with that large of a group though. read more

This was my first time eating here. The food was superb and the staff were fun and very attentive! Will definitely be back! Can't wait to check out the hotel! Cindi read more

Amazing food. Great owner. Fantastic service. Cute place. & axe throwing area. Very interesting.

The service was great, but the food was marginal at best. Guys, it's a burger. If you don't know how to cook a medium burger, practice it. It's cheap. If you can't make a burger medium, then please don't ask how the guest wants their burger cooked. Also, put your fries drop on a timer. Any basic short order cook can tell if fries are overcooked by sight. Drop some fries at your fryer's standard temperature and time how long they need to cook properly. Then write down that time. And set a timer. For $17 a burger and fries should be a no-brainer. If you wouldn't eat a badly overcooked burger and fries that are dark brown, don't serve them that way. Last, if your burgers are significantly smaller than the buns, either get smaller buns and lower the price or make the patties bigger. Presentation matters. read more
