Dining in Pocatello

Buddy’s:- 626 E Lewis St. 208/233-1172
Situated a few blocks from the Idaho State University campus, Buddy's has been feeding hungry ISU students, locals, and travelers for more than 40 years. Buddy's salad is among the most popular items, drenched in fresh garlic dressing (a bottled version of which is available in stores throughout the West) and big enough for a meal. Pizza is another favorite, served with traditional-style meat sauce or a garlic butter version. Sandwiches and pasta dishes round out the menu; the latter come with soup or salad, bread, dessert, and coffee. Half of Buddy's is a bar, but the other half caters to families. It can take a while to be served when the place gets busy.

Continental Bistro:- 140 S. Main St. 208/233-4433
In downtown Pocatello, there's no finer dining than what you'll find at the Continental Bistro. The large main dining room is classy with its high ceilings and textured walls, but the courtyard out back is wonderful for summertime visits. At lunch, try the Monte Cristo sandwich: smoked ham, honey-cured turkey and Swiss cheese on sourdough with apple chutney. At dinner, a Cajun influence surfaces with crawfish bisque and blackened pork tenderloin. Visit on Wednesday evening for live jazz (in summer) and discount microbrews or Thursday for a prime rib dinner special for two.

Buca de Beppo:
A neighborhood restaurant where you can feast on family platters of real, immigrant, Southern Italian specialties in a boisterous, celebratory environment that recalls the Italian-American supper clubs of the 1940's and '50s.
