Welcome to Shady Nook

Under New Ownership

Salmon is a scenic mountain-town located on the outskirts of Idaho’s Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, with rustic origins in mining, lumbering, and family ranching. Outdoor thrill-seekers come from all over the world to raft the Main Salmon and Middle Fork of the Salmon, River, and folks around here are happy to accommodate you and yours with great food & great hotels. Over the years, it has evolved into a vibrant collection of art galleries, restaurants, and a community of adventurists that can only exist in a place that offers this much outdoor recreation. This is Idaho hospitality at its finest!

The Best Fish I’ve Ever Eaten!

March 4, 2026

If ever you are visiting the totally charming town of Salmon, Idaho, be sure to stop for dinner at the Nook. You’ll be joining what seems like the entire town at the bar around back. Its so popular, you’ll be challenged to find a seat! But no worries, there are plenty of tables in the Nook’s other rooms, where you’ll be welcomed with some of the best service you’ll find anywhere. And did I mention the food? Try the trout. It is some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten. Delicious! Oh, I forgot to mention the steamers. If you’ve had steamers back east, you’re in for a treat. The Nook’s steamers are SO much better than anything you’ll get in Boston. If I drowned in the sauce, I’d believe I was in heaven. Yum!!!

What a Delightful Meal

May 4, 2023

Our dinner at Shady Nook was delightful. We started with the Steamer Clams. Yum! And so many. I had the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. He had the Nookie Burger, which after a single bite, he declared was “the best burger I’ve ever tasted.”

Service was attentive, and I really like it when people are obviously proud of the restaurant where they work.

Everything Was Fantastic

November 20, 2025

Stopped in for a light dinner + drink.. 💫🍸 The Caprese salad was absolutely DELICIOUS — so fresh and flavorful, and the lemon basil vinaigrette on top was the perfect touch. 🤩 I could honestly come back just for that! The clams were delicious too — a little bit of crunch, but still had great flavor! The service was amazing, and the bartender was so sociable, sweet, and attentive! 🖤 Overall, everything was fantastic — great food, great people, and a place I’ll definitely be returning to! Theee coziest lil place during fall! ✨🕯️🍂

OUTSTANDING food and service!

July 7, 2024

Truly one of the best meals ever eaten. Outside looks plain but food was fantastic. My caprese salad gave a generous portion of perfectly cooked ahi tuna on delicious salad. My husband said his steak was wonderfully flavorful and tender, and the salmon was perfect. Waitress was very friendly.
