Kooskia Café

Just got some amazing stuffed biscuits and gravy here to go. Service was quick and friendly. Interior decor is simple, serviceable. I didn't try the pies but they all looked delicious. If I find myself driving through this part of Idaho again, I will definitely be back.

Was stuck in a traffic jam on highway 12 because the road was blocked and came here. It was amazing food and we had a wonderful server. She seems like she really enjoys working there and was super friendly!!! I got the Bucksnort Burger which was very good! This place is amazing I will sure to be back!

The food is excellent. Very attentive and friendly service. Definitely a place to stop and eat. 100% recommend. I had the bacon cheeseburger.

What a delicious variety and experience! My husband and I been traveling and hiking in the surrounding wilderness and National Forest. We were half an hour away from the town of Kooskia and wanted to stop for gas and food. I was hoping there was some restaurant or bar open to get dinner as my experience thus far is that small town businesses closes early compare to the city. Got into Main Street and parked and googled restaurants that were still open. I saw two which was the cafe and a bar. I'm so thankful that the Kooskia Cafe was still open, serving and doesn't close til 9pm!

Such a quaint town surrounded by gorgeous natural nature. The cafe was noticeable and easy to find. Plenty of street parking on main street as well as the adjacent street. Walking into the spacious Cafe, it is clean, well lit, with music playing and there is a restroom. The cafe present much history displayed on the walls which was cool to see and read. The dining area is large, also has an outdoor seating area and can definitely hold a few large parties and families.

There is a salad bar and dessert spinning on display which I appreciate seeing what my options are to truly decide. The ladies/servers in front were helpful with my questions and even made great suggestions! I enjoyed listening to the ladies in the kitchen singing and doing their thing, such fun energy!

Absolutely appreciate the variety and affordability of the menu and that breakfast is served all day. So of course I ordered us breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert to go! I didn't wait too long at all for my take out, it was dinner time, I wasn't in a rush, there was also a couple large parties dining and I ordered quite a bit of food. The restaurant is open 7 days a week and from 6am to 9pm. The current notice on the door states they are close at 2pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays due to low staffing.

Definitely a delicious gem! Appreciate the business, availability, professionalism, variety, generous portions and everything was absolutely delicious! Thank you!

Super friendly staff. Great food.

Just a good hometown Cafe. Nothing fancy but good food and friendly staff.

I had chicken fried steak. Loved it

Can’t say enough about this little gem! Customer service is too notch, food is excellent! Milk shakes are to die for!
I actually forgot to turn in my hotel key and they returned it to the motel for me!
I highly recommend a stop at the Kooskia Cafe!

Friendly staff and great food, just what was needed. Felt welcomed and local, as everyone else seemed to know each other and the place had a real social vibe to it.

This is a local restaurant, the service was excellent and the food was even better.

Have come here a couple of times this week on our trip and we really like it. Dinner was good (fries are YUM!!!) and can back a couple days later for the pie and was not disappointed! Will probably have breakfast here in another couple of days before we leave town. A great place to eat!

We both had the chicken fried steak hamburger and it was amazing. Service was great and food came out quick. Highly recommend!

Cute cafe in a nice little town. The food was excellent and the server was kind and fast

Cool old pictures of Kooskia hanging on the walls. Sorry but the gal, singing in the back, don't quit your day job! LOL

Delicious breakfast great waitress calm quiet morning loved it.

Delicious and friendly. We have been traveling and needed internet to accomplish electronic things, we were waited on and taken care of while we sat for at least a couple hours. The wait staff is excellent and the food goes right along with it. Super happy to have made this the place that we stopped

Our server was so nice and the food really hit the spot! This was the first place out of the wilderness coming from the east, hopefully we will be back!

Very friendly service. Food is awesome and prices are right.
My family an myself ate here again last week. We walked in minutes before closing and was still served great food an the waitress was just as friendly as if it was the beginning of the day. Thank you all so much!!!
