The Rusty Lantern Diner in Ucon, ID offers a classic Idaho atmosphere with amazing food and great service. The waitstaff is friendly and accommodating, making diners feel right at home. The menu features delicious options such as shrimp Caesar salad, hamburger steaks, and the best prime rib French dip sandwiches. Breakfast is a highlight, with fantastic pancakes, strips of bacon, and a reputation for being a great place for a good ol' boy or family breakfast. The cozy atmosphere, decorated with rustic Country/Western touches, enhances the dining experience and makes it a perfect spot for a meal with family or friends.
While many love the traditional home-style cooking here, some diners have noted mixed experiences. A recent visitor mentioned disappointment with a crispy chicken salad, highlighting the need for improvement, but praised the burger and fries as a better option. The diner is frequently busy, especially on Friday nights, so parking can be tricky. For anyone looking for a taste of quality cooking, the Rusty Lantern remains a must-visit. The fresh strawberry pie and superb vegetable soup are great ways to end a meal at this humble little restaurant, and customers are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the homemade desserts before they are gone.
