28 Best American Restaurants in Ketchum

“First time visiting this restaurant and surely will be one of our top places to dine while in the Sun Valley area. Incredible menu and wine choices. It was hard to choose which dish to try because everything sounded delicious! Excellent service!! Loved everything about this restaurant 😘“

“Great service. Nice outdoor patio.Great food and drinks.“

“Excellent in ambience, with fresh ingredients including their produce and homemade pasta. We cannot sing the praises of the Covey enough. We booked dinner reservations during the busy Trailing of the Sheep Festival weekend. While this modern elegance meets cozy farmhouse fine dining restaurant would have been an ultimate experience for a date night, our expectations were FAR exceeded with our family of four (including two younger children). We enjoyed the mafaldine, lamb cassarecce, and butterleaf dishes. They accommodated a delightful simple pasta for our youngest one, and encouraged them to create artwork while we waited for our meal. Their artwork was proudly framed and tastefully displayed on the wall by the bar. The evening ended with a delightful sweet surprise by the chef/owner and his dog. We will be back, with our family, friends, and for a date night!“

“Great atmosphere! Had claims, and the best with sauce you will ever have. Also fresh local baguette. Highly recommend we’ll go back again.“

“Amazing views and amazing food and service“

“Definitely a little dated inside but it was easy to snag a table at 7 mid-week, and the food was very good. Nothing groundbreaking but the proteins were cooked perfectly and the potato side was amazing. Saw some comments on service but our host was incredible. Also a special call out for an excellent wine list that was hands-down the best deal in town.“

“Celebrated my birthday there and could not have enjoyed the entire experience more!! The hotel is beautiful with amazing views in a prime central location. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. I really loved the music on the patio. This is a dog friendly hotel, so we were able to have our 4 legged kids join us for our celebration. We had a place to store our bikes safely and enjoyed the proximity to bike trails. Our stay was very pleasant and we are excited to return soon. Thank you Limelight!!!😍“

“We held our wedding reception at the Grill at Knob Hill on 10/13/24. Bob and the team were awesome to work with! The food was amazing from appetizers during our cocktail hour to the main dinner during our seated reception. The space transformed beautifully and Bob and his team helped make our wedding vision come true - we could not have had a better evening!“

“Great atmosphere, great service, and great super food. Highly recommend!“

“This might be my favorite ski lodge I've ever been too. The views were spectacular, true 360 of the surrounding mountains, and the food was great. It also had this gorgeous old school vibe. Definitely didn't feel like your "fake but commercialized" ski lodge.Loved the taco salad I got. You could really customize it. I put pretty much everything on it! Line moved quick and the staff was super nice.Our crew just sat and chatted and ate for quite a while. Easy to find a table at 1:00pm on a Saturday.“

“The blueberry pancake was okay but the Blackstone Egg and hash browns were superb. Great coffee as well.“

“They apologize for being OPEN.“

“I was staying at the Best Western and came here for breakfast since I had a voucher. I ordered the Mayday burrito, and it exceeded my expectations. The filling was seasoned perfectly, and it was exactly what I was looking for in a breakfast burrito. This place clearly knows how to do it right, and I will surely be back for more!!“

“Talk about an accommodating resort!! Apparently I showed up on the only weekend this year that was "busy". The guy behind the bar abolsolutely slayed his job! Friendly and kept him composure under the added stress. The pizza was amazing. Clean bathrooms. If you haven't been to Snowbasin or Sun Vally. You just need to see the lodges in person to really believe how beautiful they really are! Well beyond 5* resort.

Vegetarian options: The curry, salads, and potatoes are great!

Parking: It's a bit of a walk to get the the resort (5-8 minutes with gear). The shuttles are always running though!

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrances, Elevators, and shuttles.“

“My husband and I have spent the last few months traveling around the country. His favorite food is burgers, and he’s had at least one burger in all 20 states we’ve stayed in. He’s a purist and likes his burgers with just cheese and a few simple ingredients, but if we’re at a restaurant that offers something new he’ll try it. Here at Sawtooth he had the public house burger with ghost pepper cheese, and for the first time ever he asked me to write a Google review on his behalf to let everyone know that this burger was his favorite of all burgers in the country. That’s right, his FAVORITE BURGER IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY! We were there almost two weeks ago and at least 5 times since then he’s asked me if we can drive the 10 hours back to Ketchum just to get this burger.

I had the baja fish taco and the crispy ginger fried chicken sliders, and they were delicious! Small portions. I had no trouble finishing everything.“

“Thank you for hosting a pub crawl. The Warren Ski had a great time at your place. Loved the shuffle board game. Food & drink was good.“

“Hi I love this place so much what great service and enjoyable company!! I highly recommend this place!! Great food great service!!“

“Absolute best lobster bisque soup anywhere. I wish they can ship some. Great friendly staff always and people just need to chill out or stay home. Great place to eat.“

“Delicious high quality food and great service❗️One of the best lunch spots here in Ketchum😋 Or possibly THE best❗️“

“We go here every time we come into town. The sandwiches have toasted bread, but cold insides, and it makes for a really yummy sandwich. The bread is not too thick. My favorite is the meatless masterpiece, but then adding ham. Ha. We also LOVE the chocolate chips cookies. They make every sandwich to perfection so it is not super fast but not slow either. Worth the wait!!!“

“Food was excellent, staff was friendly & timely. Great dinning on the deck.“

“Vintage is one of my absolute all-time favorites! Everything on their menu and every special is amazing! The atmosphere is quite, quaint, romantic, and upscale. The waitstaff is very friendly and professional and chef Rod is amazing! They have a fantastic selection of wines are helpful to pair the best wine with your meal. I love when they run events like Lobsterfest or Trailing of the Sheep. The lunches are also amazing. Hands down one of the best restaurants in the valley.“

“Absolutely beautiful building and architecture. Very friendly atmosphere. The cashier was very patient with me when I kept changing and adding onto my order. Thank you! 😊“

“I haven't been to the Cafe because I live in Boise, but I buy their bread from Albertsons: AMAZING! I love that the flour is grown locally and there are only a few ingredients, which is how all breads should be! For someone with food allergies, I was thrilled to find breads I can eat safely; when I realized they were insanely delicious as well, I stopped buying all other bread! If you ever expand a cafe in Boise, I will be there every week!“

“Tired from a 12 hour drive - great food - reasonable and we got to have the dogs on the patio!“

“Bowl of soul. Awwww…..so good.“

“Excellent service and great food!!!!“

“The Philly cheesesteak is the best! Also, the nachos, shrimp poboy, pizzas and chicken sandwich are so good. New favorite place to eat in town, really glad they did the remodel and change of ownership. Excited for the roof top service soon!“
