ido RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Soldotna

Updated: 2022 Yes, 3 years ago this place I gave 5 stars they had some good food and decent prices. Covid hit many places hard and sadly prices go up and Quality dropped. I picked to revisit this place a few months ago even tho the trip previously was not that great and wanted to see if it was still rough and debated updating my review.. I would not recommend going to eat here. 3 ppl ate breakfast without a tip all three meals with drinks were over $74. With the tip it was more. We were the only customers at the restaurant at this time. The restaurant is still outdated no upgrades in anything at least on the side where all the customers are. The furniture; tables chairs, counters etc all feel sticky/tacky. You know the feeling you get when you shop at 2nd hand stores walking out feeling like your hands are dirty yeah.. you walk out feeling like that here. The food let me say it feels like we ate frozen food so they are taking short cuts other than the toast and eggs. The hamburger patty is just a normal frozen skinny patty. Just all around the restaurant needs some help. The people work here the one gal I did interacted with on this trip was polite and nice so no complaints with that. Sad to see this place go down like it has. I’ve also been in before many months before this last trip and could hear a lady talking to who I assume was the owner or a manager. The lady in the restaurant kept telling whoever she was on the phone with that she tries very hard to make the restaurant money and she kept repeating this and saying she is sorry and no need to yell at me I am trying. Hopefully the whoever owns/runs the place will make sure their employees are away from customers as it came off as whoever she was on the phone with her was verbally abusive.

3 years ago was 5 stars Don’t be fooled by these reviews. I stopped in because I thought I’d give this place a chance after seeing the reviews of people who have never came here HA! What a joke those reviews are. This place is yummy. Staff were nice. Place is clean sure outdated but clean none the less. The food came out looked and tasted good. Just bypass the poor ratings and give this place a try you...

Waitress was exceptionally rude, waited over 45 minutes to even order, she brought us the wrong drinks and after we had taken sips she took the drinks from us and BROUGHT THEM TO ANOTHER TABLE! Didn’t even bother to get new ones same straws and everything, also after we got our food we were eating, my two companions had finished there food and it was just another party member and i still eating, the same waitress came up to him and just started piling napkins and his cutlery on his plate. He had just stopped eating for a second to take a drink, didn’t ask if we were finished or anything just came up silently and did that, our party member told her “i wasn’t done eating, but i guess i am now” to which she replied “shit” mind you the restaurant wasn’t busy it was only us and two other parties dining. I don’t know if it’s just me but usually the waitress ASKS if everyone’s done and if you’d like the check, doesn’t just come up to the table and start clearing everything while someone’s still eating (i was still eating when he was taking a sip of his drink) 0/10 service waitress was overall the reason i will NEVER be...

Went in on a Monday afternoon. We were the only customers in a small town that is currently packed with tourists. There should be several groups of people eating in here. Ordered chicken strips for my friend. $14 basket with 3 tiny strips on top of fries. Each strip was about 4" x 1.5".. (child size). I ordered the Burger Dip. Again, child size portion of food that I ate in 4 minutes. Came with au jus that was waaaaaay too strong. Almost gave a "salt-burn" effect. My girl was smart and just got a side of peaches in a bowl. In all, for what we ordered, it shouldn't have been $31 when we were served about 9 dollars worth of food. Flavor was pretty good. (All 11 bites).

In summary, if you don't mind asian/child size portions of food, give it a try. Menu prices are sincerely too high. I'd like to see them sell to another party- keep the menu, but serve actual adult size plates. I don't really appreciate leaving hungry & feeling like my debit card got...
