Friendly greeting, inside was a plethora of cool and eclectic pieces of art and antiquities. Most of it is for sale. This place is recommended by locals for huckleberry shakes, but we didn't have one. The fries were great, the burgers were good.... Even if there were pickles on a mushroom Swiss. The service however.... Teenage girls.... Very very forgetful, and inattentive. We were there during shift change, the old lady that followed was just as.... Inattentive, and absent minded. Wallace is such a cool town, next time we'll likely pass eating here. read more

Food was so expensive. I got a tuna melt and a burger. The bill was $37 for a tuna melt? The place is cute but run-down for charging this much. I didn't even enjoy my melt or fries. My husband said his burger was okay. read more

This place is great! Everyone is very friendly and the food is good. The hours on Yelp are wrong, and I almost skipped them on this drive through Wallace. Don't make that mistake and be sure to call or swing by to see if they are open. read more

Ordered the chili dog. It was ok, as were the French fries. Nothing to grab your attention, but it did feed the hunger on a long drive. Funky place, vintage decor. Friendly staff . You can do worse. read more

This restaurant has the BEST huckleberry ice cream! I had huckleberry ice cream in MT, WY, OR & WA but none compared to Red Light Garage in Wallace ID. read more

Stops serving lunch at 2pm! Which I was not aware of. What place that serve burgers stops serving food at 2pm. We showed up at 2:04 with really hungry kids and they wouldn't make us food. So crazy. This whole town was a poor choice to stop at as a family. read more

We were passing through and were told we needed to stop here for some huckleberry ice cream. So glad we did! The store is really unique inside, and the huckleberry ice cream was SO GOOD. We're from Texas so we really enjoyed all things huckleberry. We also decided to partake in the huckleberry Jell-O shot. They also have a very unique seating option outside. Overall, a very unique and tasty experience. read more

I wanted to love this place. We were visiting Wallace for the first time. I found this place on Yelp, sounded good so we stopped in. The good: food was pretty good. Burger comes dry with no sauce or mayo. Kinda weird. Mayo was not offered. Fries were good, but I wish they would just come with the burger rather than being an upgrade. Shakes were very good. The bad: the wait was way too long after we ordered. They weren't even busy. The server kept acting all frazzled which was confusing. A table that got Sat about 10 minutes after us got their food (Very similar order) about 10 minutes before we did. When the table behind us that had been sat 20 minutes after us got food I grabbed the server and asked her what was going on. She went back into the kitchen and then came running back. She had given our food to the table behind us. I doubt we will try this place again. Obviously other people have had much better experiences. read more

One of Wallace's better eateries. What it has going for it: - pricing on par with similar establishments - food is better than average - staff is very friendly - decor is unique What it has going against it: - could use a remodel - menu choices is rather small So the food at this place is surprisingly good. Had the supreme breakfast burrito and my wife had the huckleberry pancakes. We were both very satisfied with the portion size and the taste....so no complaints. The decor is definitely unique...it's like a yard sale threw up in this place. Seems overly cluttered. Would probably come here again if I'm the area. read more

Was really looking forward to checking this place out but they don't go by the hours posted online nor in the window and they were inconsistent. After 2 days of trying, we gave up. It's difficult to find food in Wallace in general. Largest majority of restaurants open after folks leave for the trails and close before everybody comes back. It's like they're allergic to money. No wonder it's for sale. read more

Super funky, awesome place! First there's the super nice staff. NICE STAFF!!! Second there's the decor. WOW! that's SOME decor! And thirdly, but not last, nor least, the food. Wonderful dogs! I had a Chicago dog, my friend had a chili dog. YUMMY!!!! It hit the spot! OH OH OH!!!! And! They have the best, most wonderful, mouth watering, delicious, addictive, I'll drive out of my way for one, CHOCOLATE MALTS!!!! OMG! Whether you've ever had a malt or not, get one! It tastes like a super duper fly Malted Milk candy, except with 4 scoops of ice cream. Honestly, this place is so famous even aliens from outer space eat here. I'm serious! Their space ship is parked out front in the parking lot! Seriously love this little funky place!!!! read more

Great stop with good burgers and fun service in an visually entertaining facility. You could spend hours looking at the walls, shelves, and ceiling. The succulent burgers came with chips and we ordered a side of fries to share. There were enough fresh and crispy fries to feed six people, their dogs, and the people at the next table. I'm afraid this place puts a serious dent in Idaho potato production. We visited with the owner, a wonderful lady with a sense of humor that lit up our afternoon. Highly recommend for a good lunch among friendly locals, spirited servers ( 5 high school girls), and by the way, really good shakes (our's was huckleberry). read more

I ate there like 10 years ago but I'm still pissed off about . I have not been back since. If it's new owners I apologize and I will give you a second chance. The service was terrible and we got up and left without even finishing our meal. I normally don't get upset like that but the level wasof disrespect from this place was amazing.. read more

The service here is awesome. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The food is ok. A good, relatively quick stop for breakfast. Looked like a good lunch menu too. read more

I wanted to like this place but in my opinion the food just wasn't good. The pancake was so sour it wasn't eatable. Not much to choose from either. This place is a hard pass for me. read more

Food was good but boy is the place falling apart. It's for sale so maybe the owners don't care anymore. It used to be better. Sad

Wallace, Idaho --- the ONLY place I found to eat in Wallace is a GREAT place to eat! Super service, a "unique" & a tasty-riffic "huckleberry" pancake was a "Run-A-Way Bill" 1st (that I remember ) ... a WOW-riffic display of nostalgia covers the walls from floor to ceiling, including the ceiling, much of which is for sale ... a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite discovery day 116 "DUSA 2017" (Discover USA) "Run-A-Way Bill" was here!

A must stop for lunch! The best burger and fries plus wine and beer! Barbara was a delightful host who played some songs from the juke box for us. Works great and so nostalgic to hear those old songs. Kids will love this place with all the antique decorations and polished rocks you can buy by the bag. Wish we could have stayed longer to look at all there was to see especially the license plate collection. Impressive! Do make time when passing through Wallace. read more

The Red Light Garage is one of those perfectly unique establishments one loves to come upon while traveling. The ambiance is laid back and colorful: For-sale antique chandeliers and musical instruments hang from the ceiling. Classic vinyl booths, as well as a bar provide seating options inside, while outside there's a covered deck. The walls are covered with license plates from all over. Sadly I've never had a chance to eat here as I always seem to pass through Wallace at latte time. The lattes are fab though and I have no doubts that the mexican fare, sandwiches and breakfast items are great. Homemade ice cream is another choice, with huckleberry being a local option. If you're driving by on I-90, definitely stop in for a break. Just take a right at the space ship on the corner. ;) read more

I love going to Wallace because I am a geologist and loved Dantes Peak. On the way home from Glacier my boyfriends family and I stopped here for some snacks and shakes. The place was packed and service was slow, but that's ok since it's a super small town and it's family run. We all got huckleberry milkshakes, which were out of this world. We also got french fries, which were honestly some of the best fries I've ever had. I can't wait to go back! read more

Our favorite place to eat, everytime we come this way. after a while, you just start to feel like you belong here.

Tasty straight-forward bean burrito & Vindicator IPA (Wallace, ID; heavy on bittering hops). The tortilla chips were bagged, but lets be honest, you didn't come here for that, you came for atmosphere (or because you needed gas)! And this place delivers. From the spaceship in the parking lot to the white-haired woman playing piano on the porch (along w/ another playing plastic chairs with brushes), the burrito & IPA were just bonuses. Oh, and don't forget the very tasty, old-style huckleberry shake (with real bits of huckleberry throughout). Win-win-win! read more

We stopped here for breakfast. It was HORRIBLE! Potatoes weren't cooked, bacon was more like a thin, crispy bacon chip. No flavor. We ordered sourdough toast, they brought whole wheat without checking with us. She said they were out of sourdough. Never did they offer an English muffin or any option, whole wheat was delivered. Yuk!!! Dry and nasty!! Now to service.....not one time did she ask if she could refill coffee, until she brought our check she did not come to the table after delivering the food. She did bring us refills AFTER we had to hunt her down. I got up to find her in order to get some condiments. Terrible service, awful food. We will never return!! read more

Staying at the Stardust Motel right next door, and saw their sign for huckleberry milkshakes. For $4.50 it was very tasty and thick and full of huckleberrys. Tonight we walked over to the melodrama (I would not recommend that experience) in town. A block or two away. The next day, we came back here for breakfast and had the Breakfast burrito Huckleberry pancake Everything was delicious. The pancake reminded me of the ones my mom made growing up while we were camping and the kids picked the huckleberries. I'd say one pancake for over $8 was too pricey tho. Prior to breakfast this morning, we hiked the Pulaski Tunnel trail which was awesome. October 16, 2017 Huckleberry shake is now $5 We also had a salted caramel shake and it was fantastic read more

This is an interesting place for lunch - not many choices in town. We stopped here to see the city that Dante's Peak was filmed in - and it was the only place we could find. The place is a combination of antiques, nick-knacks and misc items with tables mixed in - fun to see. The food was okay, but the waitress needs more training. When I asked questions on the food she said she only worked part-time and don't eat the food. Huh - what does that say. As I said - it appears to be the only place in town so - stop and enjoy yourself read more

Talk about the slowest service I have ever received anywhere. I'm not over exaggerating when I say it took 45min maybe even longer for our food to come out. The bad part is that it wasn't even really that busy for service to be so slow. I ordered egg whites instead of just eggs and the waiter looked at me like I was crazy and replied "that's going to be really difficult." Ummm what...so confused. I believe the meal I ordered comes with two eggs and I barley got one fork full of egg whites for my whole meal. I'll definitely be skipping this place next time we're in town. I'm giving them two stars because my Diet Coke came in a can and I was really craving one. That should answer how my food tasted. read more

Food was good. Typical diner fare. Was surprised they didn't have a kids menu. Conveniently located near the bike trail.

Sorry but this place does not have the best food. It's eatable but just ordinary. The pancakes were literally unable to be cut by a knife. I had to do it for a ten year old and the thirteen year old struggled. The one side was so tough you could retread a tire with it. The egg dish was more potatoes than anything and the coffee was right from Andy of Mayberry. I want coffee not colored water. read more

Gross! Should have known this place was going to be gross, it had a smell that indicated they had no ventilation, so greasy burned hamburger smell. Food was okay, but way over priced. Took forever. I was expecting more after reading reviews. Find someplace else to eat in Wallace. read more

Excellent food and extremely hospitable! Enjoyed their standard breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon, Tate's, and toast and a plate of fresh Huckleberry pancakes. We shared both plates and were pleasantly full. After a delightful conversation with one of the young guys serving us, we were filled with a sense of adventure into the town's history after hearing him tell us the story of the town's old brothel, now a museum. read more

Very nice people and a great breakfast. I had the Red Light Skillet smothered in country gravy. It was so good, and the portion was large so I will be enjoying that for breakfast tomorrow as well. I highly recommend this cute little gem. read more

I've always loved this place but it has just gone downhill. It was so filthy I can't imagine it would pass a health inspection. I lost my appetite just looking around. Service was mediocre; every table had stacked up dishes when we walked in and the owners were drinking coffee with friends. Too bad. read more

I have visited The Red Light Garage many more times since my first review. I have also become a big fan of their wonderful burgers, fries, shakes and ice cream. They have many different burgers and each one that I have tried has been huge and yummy! Their fries are nice and crispy and not limp and greasy. Can't say enough about their real ice cream shakes either. My favorite is huckleberry. read more

What an awesome place. Not only is the food delicious (huckleberry pancakes rock!) the place is a blast from the past, so much to look at on the walls. The owners and staff are so warm and friendly. I could've spent all afternoon with them. My Hubby and I spent the night at the stardust hotel which was clean, comfy and reasonably priced. Next time we are going to try the Hercules inn. The town was amazing and we can't wait to get back there. A must see town! Also to note it's a truck driver friendly. Park the truck across from the rest area and you can walk the whole town! There's even a laundromat!! read more

Yum!! We all had chili dogs after a day of skiing! The chili was great and the hot dog was fantastic! Lots of food for the price and the quirky atmosphere made for a fun end to the day. The milkshakes are super, this will be a regular stop for us!! read more

Thank you! Yelp helped us find this place. We pulled into this small town for gas during our week-long road trip. Saw a sign indicating that Red Light Garage was around the corner. The star rating on Yelp helped us decide to try it! It was like going back in time. I loved the servers. I think one may have been the owner. She introduced us to others in the diner as if we were all family! Love it! In this day and age and coming from a big city, you just don't get to enjoy this kind of atmosphere. The special of the day was awesome and hit the spot just right. We had BLT and a black bean soup. Good old fashioned, made with love, kind of food. Best wishes to these wonderful people of Wallace, Idaho. read more
