YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The new owners of the Snake River Roadhouse are bringing together local comfort foods with new flavors from around the world.

Janelle and Trent Denhof, who took over the business on April 1, say they've enjoyed bringing new food experiences to tourists and locals.

"We've revamped the menu a little bit, we really wanted to focus more on local Idaho cuisine, and using local ingredients," says Janelle. "We have a lot of comfort food, really good burgers, an amazing chicken sandwiches, and obviously our empanadarogies."

Speaking of empanadarogies, that was our first dish we were lucky enough to try, and it was worth every second of the 45-minute drive from Idaho Falls.

An empanadarogie, a Snake River Roadhouse special, is encased in a homemade crust similar to an empanada. It is filled with elk, mushrooms, potatoes, spices, and a more 'pierogie'-like filling. The dish of three also comes with a homemade blueberry-huckleberry sauce.

The Snake River Roadhouse is located at 2998 Swan Valley Highway in Swan Valley. It is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
