On our way home, we stopped in Wallace, ID to take in the charm of the old historic mining town. We perused some antique shops and then popped in to Blackboard Cafe for some grub. I had the Chicken Schnitzel sandwich and an Amber Ale brewed in Kellogg. Oh my goodness... hand-dipped, pan-fried lightly breaded chicken cutlet... a chutney that garners 15 or so ingredients, so the chef told me. I told him he didn't have to tell me all 15, but please confirm if I'm tasting tamarind. Yes! My boyfriend had the Swiss Burger and Samuel Smith's Chocolate Stout. Finished off his delectable meal with a White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake that he will never forget... "the best cheesecake he's ever had..." unrivaled airy-fluff without losing the flavor of high quality cream cheese. WOW!! We will return to try more food from this menu. Absolutely top notch flavors, every single layer. This is classicly-trained, chef-quality layers of flavor, perfectly cooked everything! Even the French Fries and aiolis we dipped them in were incredibly divine!

If this old building could talk...Man the stories I bet it could tell. The wall to wall old orginal wood floors, brick work, and huge picture windows that wrap the entire room make me want to stay longer than it takes to eat my meal. 😉 The story this old building is telling now is one where the service is great and the food with it's little flavor twists is even better. The menu at first seems regular but with a second look you see it's eclectic, which I loved. If ya want a burger, they have it, fries, yes, but they also have chicken schnitzel and lobster reubens. All of these items have a little flavor twist that I haven't found in other places yet. All the things I tried here were great. I'll definitely make a drive to come back here. OH, almost forgot to tell you...upstairs they have a game room. Pool table, chess, other games and big oversized chairs and couch wait for you to hang out a bit before or after you eat. There is also a book store and clothing shop all inside the same building. Fun place to eat and hang out.

The Blackboard Cafe wasn’t our first choice for dinner while visiting Wallace, but we’re so glad it was one of the only options open because it was some of the best food we’ve had yet! First, the ambiance created by the candles and lights was calming and quiet. Next, we enjoyed the fresh, airiness of the garlic bread. The marinara sauce added a fun tang to it. Both pasta dishes, chicken alfredo and shrimp scampi, were delicious. Last, my husband ordered a mocha (because why not) and he drank the whole thing before our meal was finished. The service was also friendly and timely. We’d HIGHLY recommend!

Wonderful! I really enjoyed the food and the service. The milkshake was one of the best I've ever had. According to waitress the owner does the art on chockboards. It was beautiful. I also enjoyed the book section. That's a nice touch.

Loved the environment of this place!! Staff was incredibly helpful with questions on the menu and all staff at the restaurant, bookstore, and cafe always had a warm smile. My son loved interacting with everyone, especially when he was playing on the floor with his trucks. Food was delicious, unique, and filling. I would definitely recommend it to anyone as it will please all family members, young and old. Can't wait to return again someday with my son on vacation. 😃

This is the second time this restaraunt hosted our group. That is 20 customers who left very very happy. Compliments for the delicious food, service and ambience. Generous servings. No one left hungry. A relaxed and inviting open atmosphere. I look forward to returning here again. Definitely a thumbs up to the restaraunt and their staff. They were awesome!
