    What an absolute gem of a find and Absolutely perfect for our anniversary lunch. Food was appropriate for the setting and service was great. I cant think of a single negative about our experience. Shout out to the staff for making it a little extra special for us.

    Best ski lunch. Do yourself a favor and make reservations for lunch. Lobster roll was amazing. Experience and views are top notch

    An institution on the mountain for over 50 years. Atop Bald mountain with spectacular views of all the mountain ranges around us. The inside of the roundhouse is magical. See the photos below. Great cocktails and delicious food with amazing service. You can ride the gondola up even if you don't ski or stop in while on the slopes. Don't miss it.

    I didn't have high expectations for a restaurant at the top of the mountain but I was absolutely wrong. The Roundhouse was delicious and the staff were nice and attentive (shoutout to Karen!) Overpriced but honestly much less expensive than I expected and the portion sizes were large. The Mountain Mule and Spicy Pineapple Margarita were tasty and had the right amount of alcohol. On top of that, the views were incredible. This is a must visit in Sun Valley. They take reservations!

    The best meal we had all week! We were looking for a nice dinner to celebrate our last night in town. We took a gondola from river run up to the roundhouse under the cover of starlight which was truly magical. While we waited for our table we grabbed cocktails from the bar. The bartender personable and entertained us with stories and gave us local recommendations while we sipped our drinks. Once seated we ordered off the set 4 course menu. 1st Charcuterie, 2nd potato pottage, 3rd lamb shank, 4th a chocolate dish. Honestly, I was in a food coma by dessert, I don't remember it. The pottage and shank were amazing and extremely reasonably priced especially since we were at a ski resort on the top of a mountain. Highly recommend eating here for the exclamation point to your trip!

    Booked through OpenTable for a reservation about a month in advance for lunch. I think you can come without a reservation if you get here right when they open. My boyfriend and I were skiing so we did not need to purchase a gondola ticket up. For the rest of our party, I believe the ticket was around $20. Which can be bought at the River Run ticket office. Our reservation was at 11am, but they didn't open doors until 11:05am. They also couldn't open their door lol. Service was ok. They didn't seem to be too organized. Food was good, fresh, but not out of this world. I did enjoy the fondue, but I felt that the fondue was a little bit low. The grilled beef was really tender and I liked the fruits that accompanied the fondue. They had a vegan salad for my bf's mom and she thought it was pretty good. Burgers seemed good, but not amazing. Restrooms clearly wasn't prepared for opening..had to change the toilet paper roll at 11am. The ambiance is very nice, warm and cozy, with real fireplaces. Too bad it was super snowy! We couldn't see the view :( Once you get in the restaurant, then you will understand why it is called Roundhouse!

    Cool spot, but I wouldn't say better than Seattle ridge lodge. We just wanted to experience the fondue and it was yummy but so overpriced for what it is.

    Working in SV, from Oklahoma City, since mid October. What a beautiful, grateful experience I have had. Forgive me, as I dug into my food before taking a photo. I had the Gravlox and winter vegetable bisque. All were to die for! I also partook in the house Cab, Brut Rose, and Irish coffee. David, whom I believe to be the GM or owner, was so kind to me with conversation. He also took pictures for me around the restaurant. Such a warm place to be, with the BEST views. Be sure and make reservations weeks in advance! You will take the Roundhouse Express Gondola up. $40 for the round trip. Take your time and enjoy the lodge, before or after.

    Nothing says après ski quite like a cauldron of cheesy fondue at a high elevation. At only slightly lower of an elevation are Round House's prices. Our party of three ordered fondue with a bratwurst ad on along with a salad, truffle fries, and artichoke soup. This was plenty of food for us. The truffle fries were bomb.com. I will most likely overdose on potato by the time I leave Idaho. However, I was surprised to find a piece of crab in my artichoke soup as it was not included in the menu description. I'm all about crab but it also would have been nice to include that detail given that some folks have seafood allergies. The staff are incredibly friendly and the restaurant is enforcing mask wearing. Be sure to book early. While awaiting my dining companions I heard the host turn down no less than five inquiring parties. Side note: I am v curious to find out how they lugged an industrial kitchen and entire restaurant up this mountain.

    Boarding at Sun Valley for a few days and was told by a few locals this was the must eat location on the mountain since it was built in the 1950s and has lots of old pictures from the early years. They have 3 different seating areas: the bar, main dining area and downstairs bar. The downstairs bar is super cute with beautiful views of the mountain. If you show up a little before noon it's not busy but around 12:30, it filled quickly and there were no seats left. I had the turkey sandwich with their kale salad. The kale salad was supposed to have quinoa with it but there was none...The turkey is freshly roasted then sliced and the sandwich tasted good. If you're in the mood, you can even have fondue! It's a great place to take a break and have a nice meal between boarding or skiing.

    Sun Valley Margarita ~ Highly recommend

    In Ketchum for "Trailing of the Sheep" festival and wanted to grab a quick and simple lunch. A…read moreburger at Grumpys' sounded good. It is a hole-in-the-wall just off the main drag. The decor is garage or frat boy chic with a collection of old beer cans on the wall. We ordered hamburgers with fries that included pickles, lettuce and their sauce. Inside dining is very tight. The service was quick and the fries were hot, nicely salted. The burger was decent and filled a void. The male or owner behind the counter must be deaf as he was speaking at a shouting level. His history of past drug use drowned out our conversation. I'm sure he was trying to be engaging, but dude, no one wants to hear of your sorted history. DIAL IT BACK! It is not just about you. If I finished a day of skiing, Grumpys' might be a better option. The food was quick and inexpensive. To be honest, it is a burger / bar shack. I just don't care to hear some employee over shouting and sharing his past at the top of his lungs. I've been to remote truck stops with cleaner restrooms. Absolutely no need to return.

    This is a great low key restaurant and very hip. If you are in town and you want to be part of the…read morelocal crowd, come here. The menu is very simple and straightforward, burgers , fries , hotdog , etc. You place your order and they bring the food to you. They also have a massive glass of beer but I did not order it. I had a 1/2 lbs burger and fries and my friend had chicken wings with fries. The food was cooked great and with great flavor. If you want to experience a local skiers paradise. This is it!
