★★★★★ 5.0 Mark Kimura · Mar 2026

Nice variety of food. Great bar and fun atmosphere. Service was friendly and fast. Drinks never went dry. Hotel close as well.

Ok, these Ahi Poke Tacos are GOOD!!!! The fried taco part isn't greasy. It is perfectly fried. They call the sauce a "poke sauce", which seems like a spicy mayo flavor. I'm pretty sure they use Sriracha, so be prepared for a little heat. I loved it. The coleslaw and tuna mixture is perfect! I would certainly come back for this!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 D McKinnon · Dec 2025

It was just ok. The "Idaho" potato was very small and it was supposed to be loaded but it was lacking. They were out of an appetizer and soup. The food was average and not worth the price. If you order the special make sure you ask the price! Service was OK. Overall disappointed with our first Idaho dining experience. It's very much a sports bar with all the tvs.

Our lunch was amazing as always with sweet lous. Our first time at this location. Our service was off.. and the table was sticky gross. Its 11:40 so just opened not long ago. Also I say this place can use a GOOD CLEANING. The dust bunnies were gross 😝

love this place if you go to the ponder location, I hope you end up with the waitress Danette She was my waitress when me and my boys and a family member decided to go out for food and her service was top-tier. She kicked butt the food was amazing. She was on point all night never left our glasses empty got us everything we needed and the wait for foods was not long at all. Great job but serious props to our waitress and the chef.
