    Bacon Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. Delicious!
    Raz O.

    This little hole in the wall was a great find during our hunting trip in Idaho. Place looks really nice and clean and the service was great. The coffee was awesome at this place! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The burger had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The sweet potato fries were crunchy and tasted great. Ordered their cinnamon roll for dessert and tasted just as good as everything else in this place. In the end I had 4 cups of coffee, a delicious meal, and great service.

    If you find yourself on Highway 93, make sure to stop by the Y-Inn in Challis. This place has fantastic food, all made from recipes passed down through their family. I am a personal fan of their Biscuits N' Gravy, but everything on the menu is great. Besides the food, they also have a bar that opens in the evening. It has an awesome lounge area and free Wi-Fi. Friendly staff and owners. Great food. What more could you want?

    The breakfast at the YInn cafe is always perfect! The sausage is superb! But everything is good! We love our server Luke! Sorry he's moving.

    Save your money. The salad is likely from a salad bag & the people are not experienced in bringing you anything but a menu and your ticket.

    Stop here for the cinnamon rolls if you are anywhere nearby. Best we have ever had. They are huge and served warm.

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.

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.

    Excellent schnitzel. Nothing else to say but I need at least 85 characters ( eighty five)read more
