26 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 😘“

“We had an intimate booth in the corner, as requested. Service was a bit slow. Huge ribeye expertly grilled but accompanying sauces very bland. Most all items, pate, French onion soup & steak needed seasoning. Apples in dessert were under cooked albeit a beautiful presentation.“

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

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

“10 Star Review! We hosted a private dinner for 11 people at The Grill at Knob Hill. Will, the manager was so great to work with. Will, and the chef curated a beautiful Autumn Idaho Dinner. Our guests were from Boston and New Hampshire so we wanted to present the best from Idaho. We started with a Fall Moscow Mule for cocktail, then a beautiful nut, dried fruit, cheese, honey, roasted garlic baguette plates for each guest, then a savory butternut squash soup with basil olive oil drizzle, the Autumn salad with shaved cheese, nut, pomegranate was awesome, the main entree was Idaho trout with an herb butter and wagu steak, rice pilaf, the famous popovers, and finished with Fall home made stone fruit cobbler. The wine choices by Will were awesome. Autumn in Sun Valley - Ketchum, the beautiful golden aspen trees, and a fantastic dinner and amazing staff at the Grill at Knob Hill was the perfect evening.“

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

“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!!!😍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Solid spot in the center of town. Easy going vibe with a broad menu that covers mostly everything you would expect from a pub-style place.

Food was good, although a number of dishes were heavy handed with the salt. Loved the number of non-alcoholic beers on offer.“

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

“Pretty good, affordable lunch option. Felt healthier than some of the other meals we ate while in town. Not much seating inside; so we got our wraps to go and went back to our hotel patio across the street. Can order half a wrap but can only customize full size. The wraps we tried were good. The turkey one was pretty heavy on lettuce; however it was still ok.“

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

“Excellent service and great food!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We love whiskeys! Service is awesome ! Facility is clean, large and fun. Roof top bar has insanely gorgeous view. Best chicken tenders, street tacos and chicken wings ever ! Family friendly too. Highly recommend. Great drinks. Really cool murals for photo ops too!“

“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.“
