"Savage, Not Average!" Boy, were they RIGHT! We're on our way from WA to MT and with long stretches between towns, we were hungry when we pulled into Salmon and almost made the mistake of playing it safe (and being bored ) with the "Other Place" up the street. But when you're on an adventure, you do adventurous things, right? So glad we did! Hubby ordered a Grilled Ham n Cheese and I went with a Mushroom Swiss Burger. They proudly customize burgers any way you want! I also noticed and appreciated that the burger patties were hand smooshed instead of mechanically squeezed to death (it sure looked a lot bigger than your typical franchise burgers!). There were several high schoolers doing a great job handling the kitchen and taking orders! Hubby attacked his GH&C sandwich too quickly so I didn't get a pic, but they were very generous with the ingredients and he enjoyed every bite. After reading some of the past reviews, it looks like the new owners have really turned things around. Kudos to them! We look forward to making this stop a habit when visiting the grandkids! read more

ORDERED 2 hot dogs $5 each BIG MISTAKE !!!! They were crappy, I don't know where they get them from but they were not as good as if I had bought a package 8 for a dollar Will not return. I can't imagine what they serve for their kids hot dog One star is generous!!!!! read more

The food was absolutely delicious Cant beat this gime town cooking. The people there were very friendly and inviting. This is a must stop! read more

The Savage Grill - Holy Cow!! What a beast! Soooooo good too! Seriously, two can share. This place is a gem! Great people - Diners Near Me - Salmon, Idaho

The food offerings were such a variety of tastes! And everything we had was an 11 and off the tasting scale. It was so good we could not help ourselves and went back the next week to make sure we could believe our taste buds and that experience was excellent as well. There were a ton of people there so the service took longer than a split second however the attitude of the service workers was just terrific. Total respect for the customers. Such hospitality is very hard to duplicate! Going back again and again! read more

Good, fresh food. Huge servings! Super nice folks! They have a stack of high school yearbooks that were fun to look through!! Go Salmon Savages!! read more

The Savage Grill - Skillet! - Diners Near Me - Salmon, Idaho

We were on a drive and decided to stop for a burger for lunch. The prices were good. The food had really good flavor. We enjoyed our meal outside in the great weather. The menu had lots of options and even had deserts. Took a little long to get our order but we loved the food read more

The Savage Grill - Family size garlic fries, cheese curds, BLT Stacker, 2 1/4 Savage burgers - Diners Near Me - Salmon, Idaho

See all

Love hometown drive ins! Burgers were amazing, home made buns, an thick shakes! It's not cheap, but the quality is there! If I were to back I would probably get the kids meal, still a ton of food at a better price! read more

We ordered two half pound burgers with cheese and bacon it took two hours to cook the meal The tots were mushy then steamed. The burgers were dry . There were no condiments on the burger when I got there my blood sugar was 160 by the time we got the food .my blood sugar had dropped to 59 when I went in and ordered I was at160. I don't think it should be that hard to get meals out. They put orders ahead of ours. That's why it took them two hours to get ours done. read more

This place is perfect if you like fresh burgers cooked home style, just like they were meant to be cooked. No chain restaurant feel and all the pros of a hometown gem. Not only is the food good but you get a great taste of the community when you dine here. read more

The Savage Grill - Picture the restaurant...picture the community - Diners Near Me - Salmon, Idaho

Haven't been here for a couple years as while pregnant with my son I couldn't handle "heart attack in a sack" type restaurants. Last night was yummy goodness. New staff definitely preferred over the old. Dressed respectfully and were so polite you would think you were back in the '50s. I still love the garlic fries. read more

Amazing Breakfast - eggs , bacon , hash browns , biscuits , pancakes - good service too.

Way more expensive than what it should be. You are a low budget burger place but you charge like you are a fine dining experience. LOL. Then they have a tip jar on counter. You order at the counter!?!?!? read more

Great little greasy spoon place. Friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. A local favorite

Ate here last year on the mudd lick fire and got an assignment to the moose fire this year and was excited to come back. I love the town of Salmon Idaho plus it has this place. All the nay sayers that are upset about the name are odd but I'm not politically correct any. The owner named it so who care. The food was great as always. The burgers are epic and cooked up to order. It's a small burger joint that I enjoy. Glad to come back with the fire crew and have lunch before the next assignment. It's alway great to support local and small businesses. read more

Some of these comments are pretty Savage! This place is great. Dont let all the tree hugger Karen's steer you away from this place just because they need a safe space to get away from the name read more

This is the "high school" tribute place in town. All about SHS sports and history. It's small and kinda slow sometimes but omg the burgers and especially the garlic fries are amazing!! And be sure to get a milkshake. They're awesome. read more

Pretty Upset with my order. Got 3 Chicken Strips and 3 Fish Sticks. There was Mustard all over the container. Didn't order Mustard. Also, one of the Fish Sticks batter was removed ... pretty sure it was dropped in Mustard. Pretty Disgusting ... cost $12.00 / With Covid I would not go back... The Savage Grill has totally gone down hill. read more

Great burgers and fries. Their corn dogs are super too. Would go again. Oh milk shakes are creamy and rich

Great little place for burgers, fries and shakes. The service is pretty fast and the prices are good. Skip Burger King and go here instead.

This an old fashioned drive in like they used to have before all the chains moved in. The food is good, plentiful and cheap. What more could you ask for. read more

We had a great family meal here. Shelby took our order. She was super friendly and engaging. She also provided great service and recommendations. The savage burger is fantastic. The fries were a bit over seasoned. We had a great Oreo shale for dessert. read more

Disgusting. The burgers are over cooked and full of dripping grease. The chicken strips were chunks of breading with really nothing that resembles chicken inside. Ordered fries and got tater tots, took them back to the counter and was told we don't have regular fries. Not even an offer to refund. I only stopped here because of the 4 1/2 stars on Yelp. Yelp this time I was steered wrong. read more

Costumer service is horrible! Food is ok. Would not recommend! Junk yard 100% better for service. We called to place an order and they hung up as we were talking. Then she raised her voice at us when we picked up our food. Very disappointed! read more

Stopped here based on the reviews and was not disappointed at all. We were a little skeptical walking in but the food was amazing. The lady at the register was extremely helpful and they even worked with the peanut allergy our group had. The Burger: Got the 1/2lb cheeseburger. The first thing I noticed was the bun. The bun was amazing!!! Not sure if it was but it almost tasted like a sourdough bread...extremely soft and fluffy which was perfect. The burgers are also hand made everyday and you could surely tell they were. The toppings were fresh and extremely good. I have eaten at higher end burger places and those burgers don't even come close!!! The sweet potato fries were also amazing!! Got a 2nd order... Will surely stop here again!!! read more

My wife, kids and I came in to grab something on our way back home from visiting family. We ordered the Savage Burger with jalapeños and bacon and Garlic fries, onion rings and fried pickles. Our burgers were amazing! Came with all the right sauces the garlic fries were ok, and the pickles were overdone but I would recommend coming just for the Burgers! Absolutely amazing!! Well worth the stop! read more

The Savage Grill - Diners Near Me - Salmon, Idaho

This place is amazing.. amazing staff and great food. I highly recommend this place for a sit down restaurant.. you w9nt regret this place. It's amazing read more

I had chicken fried steak sandwich and fried green beans. It was good. Served on a nice bun (not hamburger bun) piece of good looking lettuce and a small slice of tomato. The fried green beans were pretty tasty. With a drink it was over 12 bucks. A little high for what I got. You order at a counter so you don't have to tip so that would have changed the bill another couple of bucks. If that matters to you. They had some other salads and flat bread items that I may try before I leave town. Everything in this town that I have seen is a little high so this may be about the best you can do. read more

It was good we got the burger, grilled chicken and strawberry shake. Eat in or to go.

Food was wonderful, even recommended what to get since I have Celiac and can't have gluten. The best part though was a waitress names Hannah. My husband & I were traveling back to Montana after having spent the holidays in Utah. When we got home I realized I left my purse at the Savage Grill where we stopped to have something to eat. I called the Grill & Hannah answered - she had to be in Missoula Montana the next day where we met up and I got my purse back. She and her husband are 2 awesome people. Thank you! read more

Damn fine food! Excellent service! The young woman made fresh iced tea at my request for me and even walked the cup to the table. She was so kind. She also held our bill till after we ate because we thought we might want to add ice cream. My husband changed his order three times and the staff just laughed and made the changes without a blink. Super friendly. The burger was great, the fries were great, the tea was strong and fresh, and the ice cream is real and not soft serve. This is a must stop place in Salmon! read more

I love this place! Highly recommended. And I want to respond to the Jeanne R. from AZ .... review regarding "wolves". That brought a great laugh! Thank you! You know your in Salmon, ID right?? Did you catch the recent "Coyote & Wolf Hunt Competition?" AWESOME! You should come back to Salmon and maybe picket the streets, tell all the blackhearted souls of their eventual placement in hell. I'll bring the Popcorn!!!!! read more

Excellent burgers in a totally politically incorrect atmosphere. It's not fast , but it worth the wait. Be sure to check out the High School photo's on the wall. read more

Great spot, wonderful food! After a day fishing it was a pleasure to sit down to a great burger and fried pickles! We will be back! Loved the old high school stuff on the walls too! read more

I highly recommend their fries. They are the best fries I've ever had. The burgers are ok, and the milk shakes are pretty good. The wait time is usually slow but everything is cooked fresh. I'm from Vegas & I love to dine out as much as possible. I am staying here for one week and crave for the French fries here. The high school decorations are cute & it is well air conditioned. read more

This place was great! The fried pickles were excellent and the Kylar Wrap was great (I got mine with no BBQ) The staff was super friendly and when the Pepsi ran out we didn't even have to tell them they knew it before anyone could say anything. I'm going to go back and try a "Salmon Famous" shake in the days to come. read more

Fast service. Good burger. Fries are better than tots. Didn't try one but the milkshakes looked wonderful and were made from scratch.

Great burgers! Fries were great too. The building may disuade those that are more particular, but the food ought to satisfy any qualms related to the scenery. read more

Delicious food!! Very busy place!! Food was fresh and cooked to order!! Definitely recommend eating here. The burgers were one of the best burgers we have had in a while!! Kid friendly. Be patient this is not a fast food place, but it's worth the short wait!! read more

A burger joint. Order at the counter. Good burgers. Great fries. Fun and cool old memorabilia from the school. Seating seems a bit small if it gets busy. They have ice cream too. read more

I know we were hungry, but the burgers were delicious and 1/4 savages were ample enough to fill us up! Everything tasted fresh & I loved a bun that didn't disintegrate. French fries with gravy superb and super crispy onion rings. Fast, friendly service and super clean bathroom. read more
