Village Station Restaurant: Menu & Drinks 

Many guests prefer newer entrees like the Lemon Kale Pesto Pasta. This tasty pasta has toasted pine nuts, fresh tomatoes, and new house-made kale pesto. You can get a half order with Ceasar salad or the full size and customize it by adding shrimp or chicken. Their signature burger, made from locally sourced beef and adorned with all the trimmings, was a carnivore's dream. And for those with a penchant for vegetarian or vegan delights, the quinoa salad was a refreshing and hearty option.

Pizza is a popular choice at Village Station, especially for those dining with children. Although some state it's a bit sauce-heavy, others claim it's one of the best in the valley because of the locally-sourced dough.

To complement the meal, Village Station boasts an impressive drink selection. Bargain hunters will want to swing by for happy hour drinks like $7 beers, margaritas, and wines. And their All-American burger goes for $12 while appetizers are half off! For those looking for something more robust, their craft beer selection, featuring some of Idaho's best brews, is worth exploring.
