Enjoyed our lunch on the patio overlooking Sun Valley and points beyond--hard to beat that view! Our lunch was delicious--hubby had wagyu burger and I had the lamb burger. Service was swift, attentive and friendly. Prices are high, but I guess that is to be expected.

We normally love Roundhouse and have been in awe of the food there. I don’t know what happened between 2022 and 2023, but we were terribly disappointed. The kitchen was swamped, which we understand can happen, but it literally took ONE HOUR AND 20 MINUTES from the time we ordered till the time we were served (there were only 4 of us). People all around us were getting served, but when we inquired about where our food was we kept getting excuse after excuse. We were told 3 times it would be 5 more minutes. It took 30 minutes from the first time we were told our food was next up. The real disappointment was the food. The watermelon caprese salad sounded good, but it had a very strange flavor. Even the burger was disappointing — barely any meat and strange flavor. We really hope they get their act together so we can enjoy the meals again. Definitely won’t be returning anytime soon.

The Roundhouse has been & will continue to be one of my favorite venues to mark both special occasions or to make a normal day special. My family & I headed there for lunch to celebrate my 40th birthday and had the best time. Our server, Jason, was fantastic - happy, communicative, gracious, took a bunch of pics for us, he did a wonderful job of adding to our experience. The food is delicious & provides a wide range of flavors & dietary preferences. (I had the lamb burger - so good.) And the history & the view...well, that's really why we go, right? I never tire of being there regardless of if I'm with a group or solo. I always leave with new beautiful memories.
