Where to Eat in Island Park: The Best Restaurants and Bars

April 14, 2018 Natalie Tallman

Island Park is a city in Fremont County, Idaho, United States. The city's population was 286 at the 2010 census, up from 215 in 2000. The city was incorporated by owners of the many lodges and resorts along U.S. Route 20 in 1947, primarily to circumvent Idaho's liquor laws that prohibited the sale of liquor outside of city limits. It is only 500 feet (150 m) wide in most locations and, at 33 miles (53 km), claims to have the longest "Main Street" in the world.

This restaurant seems to be very popular, small area inside and nice porch out. Lovely garden and flowers. The service was excellent and the food very good. We had a party of 6 and they accommodated us very quickly. Reasonable prices and great cocktails. Try the Huckleberry Cheesecake !!

We had lunch outside by the river which is very nice. The menu included sandwiches and salads plus appetizers. Alcohol is also available. The items are fairly priced. The servers were helpful and courteous. We had eaten there the previous summer. So we knew it was reliable. We would recommend it.

Connie's restaurant is mediocre in decor however the waitress was very kind and my husband and I were both very pleased with the fillet that we ordered. The big potatoes were done well and weren't hard like so many restaurants and the fillet was excellent, cooked exactly like both of us asked.

Ponds Lodge

Reviewed By magicmomentfamily - Wyoming

We've been coming to Ponds lodge since childhood. We've visited this place for everything from just using the restrooms to lodging. They have remodeled over the years and changed their general store area quite a bit. As a kid, this was the place to get penny candies after a bike ride from Buffalo camp ground. Today, things are a little different, but you can still get some treats and any other camping necessity. We really enjoyed their restaurant on our last visit. I was especially impressed with the food. The service was good and the wait time was minimal. Overall, we look forward to many more visits in the future.

Cafe Sabor

Reviewed By Spurgeon B - Houston, Texas

PRO'S: Very pleasantly surprised to find an authentic Mexican restaurant in Island Park Idaho. Freddy, our server was very helpful. I had Arroz con Pollo (rice & chicken) and all folks at the table had good dishes.

CON'S: The Margaritas were strong but lacked some key ingredients we usually see in Texas Margaritas.

SUMMARY: We will be back to get our Mexican food fix in an area not noted for quality Mexican food.

Must mention the Wifi as we had been starved for 2days and ALL got connected before we ordered the food. The food was good, full of flavour and the beers, soft drinks and red and white wines were restricted in selection but totally satisfactory. Great find in this area.

Lakeside Lodge & Resort

With a full commercial kitchen, led by our experienced Chefs, we offer fine dining as well as the best burgers and bar menu in town. After eating, join us in the Lakeside Bar, where all your flavors of beer, wine and spirits are offered in a rustic friendly atmosphere. Listen to one of our many live music performances and cut it up on the dance floor. Or sit by the fire on our peninsula and take in the views of Jefferson and Sawtell peaks, both higher than 10,000 feet above sea level, as the sun sets behind them. Finally, retire to one of our 6 cabins tucked privately away in the pines, or in one of the eight economical hotel rooms next to the main lodge. Our Luxury Cabin can accommodate large groups in a very beautiful and private setting on the lake front. We offer numerous room variations, from king size beds and Jacuzzis perfect for a couples getaway, to rooms with multiple full size, queen sized beds and lofts for the family. All rooms are equipped with a fireplace, satellite TV, and wireless internet for your comfort and convenience. Secluded RV spaces and Camping sites are also available here at Lakeside.

We are out quite a bit at the various towns around yellowstone. Our last night we stopped at this tucked away place close to our cabin. It was by far the best meal we had on our trip. The fettuccine alfredo was delicious. The sauces and dressing were made from scratch and it showed. The sunset view from the deck made it even better.
