Sawtooth Brewery Public House — Restaurant in Ketchum

My husband and I have spent the last few months traveling around the country. His favorite food is burgers, and he’s had at least one burger in all 20 states we’ve stayed in. He’s a purist and likes his burgers with just cheese and a few simple ingredients, but if we’re at a restaurant that offers something new he’ll try it. Here at Sawtooth he had the public house burger with ghost pepper cheese, and for the first time ever he asked me to write a Google review on his behalf to let everyone know that this burger was his favorite of all burgers in the country. That’s right, his FAVORITE BURGER IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY! We were there almost two weeks ago and at least 5 times since then he’s asked me if we can drive the 10 hours back to Ketchum just to get this burger.

I had the baja fish taco and the crispy ginger fried chicken sliders, and they were delicious! Small portions. I had no trouble...

Up until spring of 2021, Sawtooth Brewery had some of the best, if not the best burgers in the Valley. We have a seen a steady decline in their variety of offerings on the menu (likely due to a labor shortage and is totally understandable). The biggest problem now is the quality of the food they are offering. I have had more undercooked burgers than I can count anymore and have finally thrown in the towel and given up on this place. I also used to think they had the best fish and chips in town but after giving that another shot a few weeks ago, I was utterly disappointed with the over cooked and dry fish. Love the beer, love the people but I can no longer recommend the burgers. It's a real shame because this was a great spot for lunch and post skiing grub. Hopefully they can turn it around but for now I'll be staying away...

Want to be the first to say, I had my doubts. Don’t really know why. This place is a bustling splendid, yet relaxing experience. Very brewery vibed, but family oriented and well-tasked. The staff is friendly and hard working. You will notice this immediately. The food was delicious! I got the chicken sliders (with a side of buffalo 10/10 would recommend) and my fiancé got the brat. Both were prepared to our liking and although they were very busy, we found a seat easily and our food was out in 10 minutes. We stood in line longer than we waited for our food! But that’s because the line was out the door! The beer is great as well and the blonde girl at the counter was super sweet but efficient. Pretty much everything on my list, they checked off as far as “good place to eat” goes. Will...
