I love the incredible hamburger and chicken sandwich both served with crunchy waffle fries at this restaurant. Sitting on the deck and watching the Salmon river float by is the perfect way to enjoy the meal. View all feedback.
What Scott Harrison dislikes about Last Wave:
I can't give this restaurant less than 1 star. My girlfriend and I decided to go there, and even though they said there was a 1.5-hour wait for food, we were okay with getting drinks while we waited. However, after sitting at a table for 20 minutes without any server coming to take our drink order, we decided to leave and ended up at Subway instead. The lack of service and attention we received was disappointing. View all feedback.

There is no other place where you can receive such amazing hospitality like this. You will feel like you are riding a wave of excellent service.
The bacon cheeseburger was delicious. The waffle fries were amazing. It was a great meal for the price.
We were in Salmon on a Sunday evening so options were very limited. Honestly based on reviews we probably would have gone elsewhere but one was a three hour wait and another had just closed their kitchen. Six out of the seven of us went with the burger figuring it should be a pretty safe bet. The menu said half pound cooked to medium unless you ask for a different cook. When one of our group asked for well our waitress said oh they are all well done. Well done is not how I would describe these burgers, burnt to a charred crisp dry near inedible state is how I would describe these. Our waitress was good, our fries were good but these guys don't have a clue how to cook a burger. We would have been better off eating at the taco truck in the hotel parking lot.
I ordered a Cobb salad, but it was lacking some vegetables that I expected. It was disappointing.

I rated this restaurant 1 star because I couldn't rate it any lower. The staff was incredibly rude and the wait was unacceptably long. Expect to stand at the "Wait to Be Seated" sign for at least 30 minutes. The staff does not acknowledge customers waiting for a table. The prices are high for food that is average at best and often overcooked. Having lived in Salmon, Idaho for over 26 years, I do not recommend this restaurant.
I recently dined at this restaurant and had a fantastic hamburger - the patty was thick and juicy. I enjoyed the atmosphere on the outdoor deck with umbrellas and a view of the Salmon river. On my second visit, I tried the tacos which were unique, creative, and delicious. They also had live music on Fridays, adding to the great experience. The servers were efficient and friendly. I absolutely love this place.
The staff is always amazing and know me by name and my order. So friendly and super fun.

I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by the delicious classic hamburger. It was so good that I returned twice during my stay. The burger was generously sized with juicy, flavorful meat, and the bun and toppings were equally impressive. I also tried two of the unique taco options the next day and was equally satisfied. These tacos were not your typical fare - they were creative and incredibly tasty. The outdoor seating with umbrellas overlooking the Salmon river added to the lovely ambiance.
I went to this restaurant for dinner and decided to try the pad Thai and orange chicken, as they were described as the specialties of the house. Unfortunately, it was a big mistake. The orange chicken had a strange, gelatinous sauce that left a bad aftertaste, and the chicken itself was undercooked. The pad Thai noodles were stiff, as if they had been reheated after being refrigerated. Overall, the meal was very disappointing. On the upside, the patio was pleasant and the server was friendly.

As far as venues go it's probably the nicest. Service and food are excellent.Knowledgable of the area. Parking is Also plentiful.
The restaurant is situated in a fantastic location by the river, offering a variety of delicious dishes on the menu. The food is excellent and highly recommended.
I ended up at Last Wave restaurant due to my favorite restaurant in Salmon being closed for emergency repairs. It was my first time dining here and I had no idea what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised and it quickly became my new favorite restaurant in Salmon. As a vegetarian, I was impressed by the great options they had. The food was fantastic and the service provided by Elecia, our server, was top-notch. I travel and eat out frequently, and this was one of the best dining experiences I have had. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend Last Wave to anyone looking for a great restaurant in Salmon. Thank you!
