Great little place!! Looked up the best fries in Idaho and this little place was one of the contenders. I got a roast beef Swiss with tots and the hubby got a burger with fries. Both were really good, I’m not sure if they were the best fries, but they were more battered than a typical fry. The tots were amazing, love a good tot. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by. The waitress was so sweet, the menu is good and the area is full of history.

If in Shoshone, Idaho in need of food, please go to the Manhattan Cafe. Very clean, good food, and excellent service with a charming historic atmosphere. We attended on a Saturday night after exploring parts of the Craters of the Moon National Monument. We were returning to Meridian. The entryway is nostalgic with big picture windows. The entire place was shiny and spotless. The walls decorated with historic photos of the town and railway era photos. My traveling partner and I each had cheeseburgers and with fries for one of us and onion rings for the other but both shared. The food was generous, served hot with very fresh, tasty vegetables. Everything was excellent. The service sad impeccable. We were checked on frequently with sincerity and warmth. In the end I couldn't resis

First time to eat at the Manhattan Cafe in Shoshone. We tried homemade chicken noodle soup, turkey sandwich on wheat bread, and a cherry 🍒 malt. All of the food was amazing and it tasted so wonderful. Nice day with a great meal. 🥘

Oldest operating restaurant in Idaho. Extensive menu. Our group of six opted for burgers and cheese sandwiches and taco soup which turned out to be a version of chilli. Burgers were cooked to well done after we asked for medium rare but were tasty nonetheless. We had fun at the table researching the railroad history of Shoshone, the big boy engines one of which is featured on the wall. Get the fries. They're very good.

Awesome little restaurant! I've tried it twice so far and it's been amazing both times! Sorry I didn't get any pictures of the food, but I was so hungry!! Lol... I had the breakfast chicken fried steak and it was the best I've had at a restaurant so far! They make the gravy from scratch! I highly recommend this lovely little place!
