DINING
The talent in our kitchen shines, whether we’re grilling a ribeye steak or roasting a leg of lamb, serving applewood-smoked ribs, or baking up some homegrown Idaho potatoes. Our cuisine is innovative and elegant, yet refreshingly down-to-earth. Using local, organic, sustainable products whenever possible – rainbow carrots and golden beets, morel mushrooms, Lava Lake lamb, charred corn-on-the-cob – Ranch food is made in-house with the highest quality fresh ingredients. Local meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables intermingle with both international and western flavors to create the unique Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch culinary experience.
Guests begin each evening on our front porch – the perfect spot to enjoy a cold beer or a glass of pinot, washed down with the incomparable view of the Sawtooth Mountains. Appetizers start at 5:30pm, which is when the bar opens as well. Our sit-down, fine dining service begins at 6:30pm in the lodge (or outdoors, if you prefer!) with menus that are sure to delight. Local musicians provide the perfect backdrop to your evening three nights a week during our casual outdoor dinners. We can accommodate a limited number of additional dinner guests who are not staying with us, with advanced reservations.
Breakfast, picnic lunches and dinner meals are all included in your reservation cost.
Breakfast
A genuine smile, warm mugs and freshly baked pastries will be ready to greet you when you sit down for breakfast. On those cold mornings, our wood-burning fireplace will be there to take the chill off. We have all the essentials, whether you are craving one of our famous cowboy pancakes or a Greek yogurt parfait, freshly baked muffins or eggs-your-way. Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.
Lunch
Choose from among our hearty to-go lunch menu, and we’ll make sure it’s packed and waiting for you. Add fresh baked cookies, whole fruit, chips, one of our famous “oatey bars,” or some of our homemade trail mix from the wellness station in the lobby to take with you on your day’s adventure, or to enjoy later at the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch Hot Springs.
A La Carte Dinner
Our Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings feature delicious multi-course meals served either in our cozy lodge dining room or outside at our scenic picnic tables. You’ll find irresistible menu choices that are sure to delight everyone in your group.
For parents, we offer a special children’s dinner program on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing date night while the kids are having fun with their own meals.
If you’re visiting with a larger group, we can set up a charming outdoor dining experience with family-style service, so everyone can sample a variety of the evening’s offerings and enjoy a shared experience.
To kick things off, we offer appetizers along with beer and wine starting at 5:30 p.m., with dinner seating beginning at 6:30 p.m. Feel free to arrive early, unwind, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere before choosing your preferred dinner time.
And don’t worry—if you’re not staying on the ranch but would still like to join us, we happily welcome off-ranch guests with advance reservations, based on availability. We look forward to sharing a wonderful evening with you!
Family-Style Dinner
On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings, we treat our guests to a delightful selection of shareable entrees and fresh salads, so you don’t have to choose just one option—there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Savor our mouthwatering smoked barbecue ribs, juicy pork sliders right out of the smoker, perfectly grilled salmon, or our flavorful Vegan Shepards Pie. Whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or light, there’s plenty to indulge in.
As you enjoy your meal, relax on the front porch and take in the sounds of live music. Local storytellers set the mood with a mix of songs that tell the rich history of the area, lively bluegrass tunes, classic country ballads, and even a little bit of James Taylor to help you unwind and enjoy the evening. It’s the perfect way to soak in the atmosphere, savor great food, and make lasting memories with friends and family. We can’t wait to share this special evening with you!
Beverages & Special Dishes
Complete your dining experience with a thoughtfully chosen drink from our extensive selection of wines, craft beers, and refreshing non-alcoholic options. While we don’t have a license to sell liquor, we’re proud to offer a curated wine list featuring selections from vineyards around the globe, giving you a chance to explore a world of flavors. For beer enthusiasts, we have an exciting range of Idaho-centered craft beers that highlight the best of our local brewers. If you’re looking for something without alcohol, we’ve also got a variety of unique and delicious non-alcoholic beverages to pair beautifully with your meal.
We strive to make every guest feel welcome and well-catered to, so we offer a variety of vegan, vegetarian, and children’s menu options that are always available. If you have specific dietary needs or preferences, we’d be more than happy to accommodate—just let us know in advance, and we’ll ensure your meal is customized to suit your requirements. We want every part of your dining experience to be enjoyable, from the first sip to the last bite!
