Eruption Brewery & Bistro

The food was alright, beer was on point, but the service was sub-par. We had to ask for utensils and napkins, which were never delivered (we had to grab them ourselves). We asked for condiments twice, before giving up and eating the food plain (we had burgers and sandwiches, so that was disappointing). My attempt to catch the waitress' attention to order another round of drinks was pointless. The people next to us had a different server and their service was poor, as well. And it wasn't even busy, there were only five other parties (none bigger than a six-top).

Good beer selection. Cheese curds and the berries salad were delicious. Vegan and gluten free options.

The worst chairs ever. We had a group of 8. Every single person said how uncomfortable they were. Hurt my back a lot.
We got the fried cheese. Didn't care for it then my order never came. Everyone else at the table was served. When we could finally catch the waitress I asked her to cancel my order as everyone else was done and ready to go.

Dont get the mocktails. They charged $10 for some sprite and called it a mockjito. A mockjito is lots of fresh squeezed lime, club water, sugar and mint. It is not sprite. They literally gave me sprite, and charged $10! My whole dinner was $30 for a 1 person pizza and some sprite. Then the they expected a minimum 18% tip, so I had to manually adjust the tip to 15%. Obnoxious. I’ve always tipped but I think I’m gonna drop the tipping culture all together after this experience. They didn’t deserve a tip after serving me sprite for $10.

Also the tables are extremely uncomfortable. The chairs are so small that only half a butt cheek fits, and there’s no room for your legs under the table. I’m not overweight, but I wouldn’t have fit in those chairs if I was. My guess is they did this purposely so people don’t lounge around and vacate the table.

My girlfriend and I visited here on a busy Friday night. We were seated almost immediately, and our food and drink arrived quite promptly, as well. We got the pizza with bison (usually elk), and that was top-notch savory. The bison burger was also excellent. And the moose tracks gelato at the end was refreshing, decadent, and delightful. Live music was playing, but not so loudly that you could not have a normal-ish conversation at your table.

Strolled in for a late lunch after a morning soaking. I was recommended a cider on tap that was pretty and sweet! The steak tatchoes were really good (some kind of Gouda sauce on the bottom and the steak was perfectly seasoned) and the Brussels sprouts had bacon, feta, and a balsamic drizzle. ? Everything was excellent— food, service, ambiance, menu. I was going to try a different restaurant for dinner but I may end up back here again!

It’s become our go to in Lava Hot Springs Idaho. Only their own beers which are, so far, SO fantastic. Well priced, warm in Winter and plenty of entertainment if you’re into live music. A rushing river as a backdrop and it’s just about perfect. 5 ⭐️

Delicious! We stopped here after going to the hot springs nearby and it really hit the spot. We got the tots and Brussel sprouts appetizer then the Salmon piiza and the Bee Sting. Both were awesome! Well definitely come back.

I would not return. The pizza was just ok/average at best, not very artisan. This place is very bougie and thinks very highly of itself. 24 dollars for a 10 inch meat lovers.... it wasn’t very different than any other pizza place. For 24 dollars you expect artisan quality not chain quality.
Menus are dirty and stained. Flies buzzing you while you eat. Tables are very small and cramped. You can not make your own pizza, they will let you make some substitutions, so not great for kids.
Sauce taste like straight tomatoes from a can and is very watery.
They do not present you with a bill, they will hold the handheld POS while you look at it.
Overall experience 2/10
Pizza 4/10
Friendless 8/10
