Chipotle, chicken sandwich

This place is a hidden gem! 5 star food and 5 star presentation! Awesome service too! The ambiance is great!

Bacon blue burger with truffle fries

Warm and welcoming staff. Great ambiance, nice and clean building with cool art deco, also a nice big inviting bar to sit at if you'd like.

Passing through Cascade for the night, my wife and I were craving something local--but with standout flavor. Palooza did NOT disappoint. We rolled in on a Friday night after battling the Boise traffic, and were greeted and seated right away. That's when we met Jeff, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the menu. At his suggestion, we both ordered the grilled peach, prosciutto, burrata, and honey sandwich. I mean... who doesn't love the magic of sweet seasonal peaches, salty prosciutto, creamy burrata, and a honey drizzle to bring it all together? HOLY $#!+--it was next-level good. We were so glad we didn't split one! And the homemade potato chips? Crispy, perfectly salted, and absolutely addictive. Another treat you won't want to share--but probably should (if you're feeling generous). We finished with the warm salted chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. That perfect hit of salt elevated the rich, melty chocolate in all the right ways. It was the kind of dessert you don't want to share--but somehow still do. If you're anywhere near Cascade and want real food made by people who get how flavors should work together--GO HERE. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your return.

Rueben with truffle fries.  Not very many fries included.  Bummer because I love me some fries.

The food was good. The place is well spaced out and decorated nicely. The service was slow from wait staff to food getting out. The owner and cook put good effort into this place though and are willing to work at the establishment. Always a plus in my book. Overall 4 stars. Could be a star 5 if portions were a little larger for the cost or cost is just slightly less for the amount. Overall, I'd go back and try it again on occasion.

A superb espresso that was gone in no time!

You need to go here and have a Rueben! I've eaten Ruben's across the country and the food here is so far above anything else! The ambience, service, etc is top shelf. I also had an espresso that was perfection. The owner is such a nice, down to earth guy. We definitely enjoyed this lunch!

Crazy kids here. Good beer and food. Stopped by on the way to Donnelly and glad we did.

Very nice place to eat. Cascade doesn't have a lot of places to eat. We had a very good meal.

Driving into town, we searched for some lakeside dining and the Iconic lakeside bar and grill in…read moreCascade just off highway 55 popped up on the map. We headed over around 11:30 on a Sunday morning for an early lunch. Upon arrival, I imagined the building has been there forever by the looks of it. Patio dining was preferred since the weather was sunny and breezy with a fabulous view of the golf course and lake. Fortunately every table has an umbrella on the patio so you can control sun exposure. The service and the food just fine, but the main draw is the view and proximity to lake, golf course, and next door campground. The menu has a lot of choices. Many apps, sandwich options, soup, salads, a kids menu, etc. Breakfast served until 1pm. I enjoyed my lunch of tomato soup, green salad, and baked potato. My daughter liked but didn't love her spicy chicken sandwich, she said the chicken breast was too thick and was very messy with liquid dripping from it. Onion rings were awesome though! Other daughter liked her mac and cheese bites. Prices were standard and fair. Party of three for lunch was under $50 with tip. We unexpectedly had friends arrive halfway through our meal and the waiter was very accommodating and their order was brought out quickly. We easily were given separate checks. We really enjoyed spending time lakeside on their patio. Definitely will be back and recommend to friends. Thanks to our server Dylan!

Definitely a local favorite on the lake at the golf course. Service was better than average…read more Pepsi products and full bar. My bourbon steak was extremely tough and a credit was issued. Burger and Chicken sandwich were both good. Place needs to be freshend up and cleaned!

We ordered a few classic burgers, which is a double patty . They have a smaller burger, which is just a single patty. They also have an option for triple patty. Everyone also ordered a shake. It was a really hot day and we opted to go sit out on the patio / grassy lawn. They have a lot of covered tables set up under the shade trees. Because of the trees /shade, umbrellas aren't 100% necessary to stay out of the sun, but are a great touch for those sunny spots. The breeze made the seating actually a bit chilly on this almost 100° day. Perfect ambience. While the building and parking lot doesn't look that great, this grassy area to sit and eat a burger was really, really pleasant. A server will bring your food right to your table. She was really kind and brought us extra veggies for those of us that forgot to order them in our burger. A normal burger order is just meat, cheese, and sauce. I highly recommend you get fry sauce to add to your burger and for your fries. The fry sauce was really good. The burger is a dry patty, which I appreciate more than a greasy one. They're not particularly large, but they are thick and you get two in a classic burger. I suggest you spread them a little bit so you have meat coverage across your whole bun. Overall, the burger was pretty good. The fries are OK. They have a special coating on them and our large basket of fries were a little too dry/crispy. The shakes were extremely thick like ice cream. Everyone enjoyed them. When in Cascade, we will definitely stop by again when we're craving a burger.
