Ponderosa Restaurant & Brass Rail Lounge

"Great local restaurant, friendly staff,very efficient, I had the small chicken fried steak, and my budy had the prime rib. It's definitely a great place for dinner if you're in Orifino. ID."

"I grew up working in the 70s and 80s when everyone went to the coffee this place is just like that a place where you can go and see all your friends and talk about all the things that go on in a small town. You will find good people, good food or meet with a large group of people they have room for any size group big or small the food is always just right like the coffee shops then. I enjoy. breakfast and lunch as well as every time I go I always get great service and the owner knows his way around a restaurant if he doesn't have it and it's ⁵0 by"

"Jasmine was excellent!!! The food was amazing-the best breakfast I’ve had out in forever! My coffee cup never got empty because refills were constant, and they were even able to accommodate my special dietary request. And she’s a cat lady to boot! Love it, and I can’t wait to return!!!"

"We stopped by the Orofino Lumberjack Days & Clearwater County Fair the day before (Saturday) and decided to stop by on our way back Sunday. We wanted a local breakfast place, and this fit the bill. We had the ham & cheese omelet (hashbrowns/sourdough bread) and veggie omelet (hashbrowns/whole wheat toast). Hot, tasty, and the portions were large. This is exactly what we were looking for. The prices were fair, and the employees were great. Thanks!"

"What an awesome homey diner experience. Had their New York Strip steak and it was cooked to absolute perfection, with a great baked potato absolutely SMOTHERED in butter and sour cream, and perfectly cooked green beans with bacon. The service was also SUPERB. All this at a VERY reasonable price. The generous tip was well deserved."
