Visiting Challis for the first time, I ended up coming here twice for lunch. I was staying at the…read moreNorthgate Inn just down the road, so it was very close by and easy to get to. On my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap to go. It came with grilled chicken, bacon, onion, tomato, black olives, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, and honey mustard. It was really good, especially for the price. On my second visit, I dined in and ordered the veggie omelet with mushrooms and cheddar cheese, along with hash browns and sourdough toast on the side. Everything was well prepared and satisfying. Overall, this is a great value for the money. The food was consistently good, the service was pleasant, and it's a solid dining option in a small town. I also appreciated that they didn't rely on disposable plastic for everything, which was a nice bonus. I'd definitely recommend it if you're visiting Challis.

Shaylah's Hideaway Bar & Grill is located in Challis, Idaho. I was visiting the area between half…read moremarathons and stopped by twice during my stay. It's easy to find just off the main road, and there is plenty of parking. The food was generally decent. On my first visit, I dined in and ordered the Italian Melt with prosciutto, pepperoni, ham, and sausage. It was good overall, though a bit heavy on the meat and cheese for my taste. The side salad was fine. On my second visit, I ordered the Fajita Chicken Sandwich to go, with a side of fries. The chicken, peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, guacamole, and sour cream made for a satisfying sandwich. My main complaint is the restaurant's heavy reliance on disposable plastics and Styrofoam. Even when dining in, my salad was served with a plastic fork, and on a previous visit I was given hot marinara sauce in a Styrofoam cup. For takeout, the sandwich came in a Styrofoam container. I would have preferred reusable dining ware for dine-in service and more environmentally friendly packaging for takeout. Overall, the food was solid, but the excessive use of disposable plastics and Styrofoam detracted from the experience. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

My husband had the steelhead trout over an elote corn, black bean, and sofrito rice mixture with a lime burre blanc sauce. For dessert we shared an affogato (ice cream topped with espresso).

When you first walkup to the hotel, you are met with a very rustic, cabin-esque hotel building where you wouldn't expect to find such a fine dining experience. We were sat outside which presented the opportunity to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Sawtooth Mountain range. We ordered several dishes for our meal and every dish was just as amazing as the other! Bigwood Baguette: This was a great start to the meal! The baguette was baked to perfection and had the perfect amount of crunch to it. It comes topped with an herb oil and sea salt which added the most flavorful touch. Soup of the Day: Their soup of the day was a White Bean stew topped with rosemary and hern olive oil. The stew was rich without being too heavy and the seasoning was perfect. Soy Glazed Brussels: The soy sweet chili glaze had such a nice balance of sweetness and the slightest hint of spice. The crispy rice noodles and crumbled peanuts added such a nice textural contrast to the Brussel sprouts, which in my opinion were cooked to perfection! They were seared well without being too burnt or crispy. Beets & Burrata: Hands down one of the highlights of the whole meal. This dish came with a handful of components, that when paired together into one bite on a crostini, resulted in the most delicious amuse-bouche. The burrata was so light and fresh and I never knew that it was the perfect pairing with beets on a crostini. A MUST have. Columbia River Grilled Steelhead: Absolutely stunning. The Steelhead was executed beautifully and the mushroom asparagus risotto was cooked to perfection. Honestly, compliments to the chef for what seemed to almost be an experimental pairing with adding the sweet pesto and blueberry gastrique. Never could have I imagined these flavors being paired together atop a piece of salmon and I will not ever soon forget how flawless this dish was. Pork Schnitzel: This was my husband's dish which I did not have a bite of, but from what I could tell, the Pork Schnitzel was very well done. It was thinned out and tenderized very well and the breading looked like it was golden-crisped wonderfully. I did get to try the mashed potatoes and can remark that they were some of the best I've had! I had some of the lemon caper beurre blanc that was drizzled atop the dish and I would do anything to be able to have a jar of that at home. I am going to talk about this meal for a long time. If you are ever passing through Stanley, Idaho, it would be a giant mistake to not visit the restaurant at the Sawtooth Hotel.

Marinated nest that was flavorful without being too salty. Cucumbers, fresh and crunchy. Great beer selection. Super friendly servers/bartenders. Just get whatever special is in the board.
