    Ate here on vacation and was very happy. Great location downtown in the middle of everything. Plenty of parking nearby. Nice bonus when you walk in of heaters over benches if you have to wait! Place was packed and lots of smiling faces. Everyone working there was pleasant and said hello or goodbye with a smile. Our server was awesome throughout and made the experience top notch. What brought us in was noting the local sourced ingredients and reasonable prices on the menu. Both were true and did not disappoint. Beef is local along with the chicken. 3 of us got burgers and one a salmon skillet. The burgers are all waygu. Mine had a great beefy taste and was well seasoned. The burger can stand out on its own. My rattlesnake had guacamole, jalepeno, pepper jack cheese and bun sauce. Very tasty! Waffle fries were very good and the fry sauce was yummy. First time having fry sauce and I am hooked. Everyone else loved their burgers. Salmon was good. Loved the drop peppers in the dish! Definitely recommend this place whether a one time stop while in town or a local.

    The SnakeBite is very popular and can have about 15-30 mins wait on weekends so make sure to account for that. The servers were very friendly and helpful. The vibe inside is of an authentic, local Idaho Falls restaurant. We got the wagyu double burger which came with waffle fries. Both the burger and fries were delicious and highly recommended. Will be coming back to try their other stuff.

    Borrowing an expression from Guy Fieri, this was a trip to flavor town! I walked in on Tues evening and got seated right away. It's part sports bar, part restaurant and has outside seating for a neighborhood cafe feel for when the weather is nice. The menu consists of a decent selection of appetisers, burgers, "handhelds", salads, pastas and entrees. I ordered the Candied Sriracha Salmon. It comes on a bed of "snakebite" rice with grilled veggies. Since I missed lunch I was afraid it would take awhile to get my food because they were decently busy. I was pleasantly surprised! I was shortly presented with a freshly grilled, decent sized piece of salmon exactly as described in the menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see the grilled veggies only consisted of three onion pieces (I hate onions). The rest were mushrooms, red peppers and yellow and green squash. The salmon was grilled to the specifications I had ordered (through). It had a nice crisp on the outside but was tender and juicy inside, despite being cooked the way I like it! It was topped with a small dollop of lemon herbed butter and microgreens. The outside was deliciously but not overly coated with the candied sriracha. Oh my yummmmm. I ate every single bit of it, which is a rarity. For a drink I chose water with lemon. The waitress was attentive and never let my glass get under halfway empty. Great service, great food and a fun atmosphere that would be great for a date night, fun with friends or the fam. Heck yes I recommend this place!! It's in a cool looking building in the downtown area of Idaho Falls. Parking on the street (one way streets). There are probably parking garages around, too. I've just been lucky when I've been here. Nevertheless, if you want a fantastic tasting meal at a reasonable price, check the Snakebite Restaurant out!!

    Bacon cheese burger. Medium!

    Watch this video! As I am sitting waiting for my food, I am watching the hostesses clean the four page menus. I love seeing this happen. Wish it would happen in more restaurants. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Yummy waffle fries and the fry sauce is delish. Cool atmosphere! I don't live here but glad I found it!

    Stumbled on this great place downtown. Tables, booths, bar seating, and some tables on the sidewalk out front. Varied menu with lots of options. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, creative salads, steak, etc. Wagyu beef was one of the specials tonight. They have several craft beer options, but somewhat limited. I would've liked to see porters and stouts. I had the blackened salmon salad. It had a house made sun dried tomato vinaigrette. Very good. Our waiter (McKinley?) was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She really personalized our experience. Great place.

    Food is wonderful. The service was outstanding. There was a bit of trouble finding parking, however.

    Dive bar Nirvana!!! This place is awesome in so many ways. The gal bartender sporting the Mohawk…read morethat is as colorful as her personality is awesome!!!! Don't expect cocktails here, just down and dirty mixed drinks, shots and beer, exactly what they should be serving. The burgers, cooked on a flat top, are phenomenal, served with hand cut fries, see photo. If you are an Applebees or Chilis kind of person this is most definitely not a place for you. BTY, pool is free!!!

    I was so hopeful…read more.. This is definitely a dive bar for locals. We came in for an early dinner and there were several families dining in playing pool or giant jenga with their kids. It was such a fun vibe. A coworker suggested Blue Wave and we were excited to try "the best burgers in Idaho Falls". Unfortunately, outside of the fun atmosphere, the rest of the experience was lackluster. We seated ourselves and waited close to 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge we were there. It wasn't just us either. The table across from us were also clearly tapping their feet in anticipation. Someone from that table actually ended up walking over to the bar to ask for service. Once our waitress finally made it to the table, we had mulled over what we were going to order more times than I can count. But alas, we made a decision. We ordered mini corndogs, a pastrami burger for my fiancé, and a mushroom & swiss burger for myself. Both burgers came with a side of fries -- I wanted tater tots but they were all out. Let's talk taste. The mini corndogs were burnt. I actually think they would've tasted so much better if that weren't the case. The chef gave us more corndogs than what's on the menu but that's probably because he knew they were burnt (LOL)! The pastrami burger was meh. I can't think of another word to describe it. The beef patty was overcooked and the pastrami slices were dry. My mushroom & swiss burger was better but still not good. The beef patty was cooked to a medium-well but lacked flavor. There were no condiments on my burger so I kept dipping it in fry sauce hoping that would give it some life. I'm not sure why The Blue Wave gets hyped up so much. We won't be coming back -- at least not for the food.
