Food is good, but service could improve. I've been a few times now and have seen the same girl wearing beanies on multiple different occasions. The attire the staff is allowed to wear seems very unprofessional. I've had the hostess not notice I've walked in because she's too busy on her phone. I've also seen a lot of the staff members walking through the dinning room paying more attention to their phones than they are their surroundings.

Great food the first time we ate there. My husband and I are always on the hunt for bad a** hot wings. The first time we got wings there, they had nice crunchy skin, good sauce, and cooked through. The last two times, he got wings that were still a little bloody. My pasta was pretty good. Not sure if they changed cooks or what but we were happy once and that was it. The servers have always been nice though. Need to step up the wing game for sure.

We are traveling in our RV and were at a camping area across the street from this restaurant. Normally I avoid bar food due to the unhealthy nature but I was pleasantly surprised to fine some foods that were healthier. We also sat in a booth away from others due to the variant. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was good quality. We would go again if in the area.

One of the best restaurant I've been to. Cheerful waitress TC helps us in making our order more ideal. From appetizer waffle fries, to main course rib eye steak and lastly the local dessert: everything is outstanding in taste. TC, thank you for the great service. You made our Idaho travel experience more memorable. You are awesome!

Decided to make this our destination on a motorcycle ride today. Never been there but the reviews were great so..... off we went. Not sorry. Friendly ppl, service was good and we felt valued as customers. The food was delicious. I'm sure this isn't a one time event for us. Thank you for making this a positive lunch for us.

We are never going back. They argued with us tonight over an overcharge on our bill. When I asked them if a $2.99 charge was worth losing a customer they chose the money. Unbelievable. We are locals, but certainly won't be eating there again. When you choose a restaurant, skip this one and spend your dining dollars elsewhere.

Wow. Really loved everything about this place! Pleasant surprise in little Blackfoot, Idaho. Great food, great prices, great service, great selection. Everything we got was great. We will be back! Lots more we need to try. We got the chicken strips and fries. Chicken strips were good, nothing special. Loved the fries! The shrimp dip and stuffed mushrooms were amazing. Side salad was good and the turkey, bacon avocado sandwich was on a croissant and was delicious!

So the appetizers were good but it's not difficult to make wings and bacon cheese fries. The main course was extremely disappointing. You can see from the picture that it was extremely small. It was also dried out and flavorless. I spent over $100 on the check for my party and we were very disappointed. the service was fine and the facility was clean but I won't be back. To charge as much as I paid for that sad little bit of food is unacceptable.

This place was magnificent! The food was freshly made, tasty and perfect portions, even for the heavy eater. The staff was truly accommodating as we started with a party of 6 and ended up with a party of 12 and they handled it with grace and efficiency making our night wonderful. The prices were very reasonable allowing you to enjoy your visit even after the bill came. The complete experience was astounding and I would recommend this establishment to anyone near enough to visit it. I know I will be going back and I don't even live in Idaho.

They would have 5 stars, but the iced tea tastes like it was brewed in the coffee maker.
Nicely decorated and great service. Our table had fried pickles (delicious), fish and chips (good, but it's 4 sticks of fish), cheeseburger (yummy), country fried steak (good, but a little too much pepper for that diner), salad(good), and baked potato (good).
We will go back if we come back to/thru Blackfoot, Idaho.
Sorry no pictures!

My husband and I had dinner on Monday. It was very good.
Started with stuffed mushrooms which are filling and delicious; however, I put pepper on mine as it needed some more flavor in my opinion.
I had the Bacon Avocado Sandwich with regular fries ( I sent back fry sauce as I am a catchup person).
My husband had shrimp pasta.
Both were large portions so we had to take home what we were unable to eat there.
So dinner $47.00 with tip.

My husband and I road tripped from Nevada to Wyoming for the solar eclipse this year, and on the way back we were looking for a place to stop for dinner. We had an RV with our dogs, so needed someplace with a lot of parking. Luckily Tommy Vaugh's fit the bill. Although they did have outdoor seating, we decided to order take out and just eat in the RV. My husband got the fettuccini alfredo and I ordered the coconut shrimp dinner. Although it was a Monday night, they were very busy for dinner and unfortunately it took a while for our food to be ready. As an apology, the waitress gave us a

Came here during our mother daughter cross country road trip--spending night in blackfoot before grand Tetons and Yellowstone tomorrow. Read the yelp reviews but had low expectations. So pleasantly surprised! We shared a Caesar salad which was fine, but kudos for how they split it in two bowls. Then we split the flat iron steak with mushrooms and onions, asparagus and cheesy waffle fries. Wow! That was a delicious steak--tender, flavorful, as good as I've had elsewhere at more pricey places. All for $15.99! They once again split the entree onto two plates and gave us so many fries

An awesome restaurant found in a small town.We were in Blackfoot on business and this place came highly recommended by our friend.What a pleasant surprise ! The True Gem found in a least expected area of SE Idaho.
Being hungry in Blackfoot I thought my options were limited to simple burger chains like McDonalds or Wendys , maybe Rupe's burgers at best.
My prime rib was great , even my wife , who is much harder to please when it comes to food never complained about her order.
If we ever have go to Blackfoot again that is where I would like to dine.
