Idaho is known for several unique and delicious types of food. From potato ice cream to anything (and everything!) huckleberry, the Gem State is a place of tasty cuisine. One entrée that got its start in Idaho is finger steaks. These delicious food items are made using long pieces of steak that are breaded and fried to perfection. While there are restaurants all around Idaho that serve finger steaks, each one seems to make these finger foods just a little bit different. Here are just four restaurants in Idaho that we recommend visiting to try this meal.
Westside Drive In is well-known in the Boise area. Many people know it as the best place to try potato ice cream. However, this is also where you can devour some of the best finger steaks in the state. This meal comes in a basket with fries and toasted bread — it really is perfection!
The finger steaks at Lindy’s Steakhouse in Boise are a house favorite. They feature hand-cut sirloin, are double coated in seasoned breading, and then deep fried to ensure every bite is juicy, moist, and delicious. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it!
Many people stop into Trudy’s Kitchen in Idaho City for one thing — the pie! This restaurant is known all over the state as serving the best homemade pie. However, what many people don’t know is that this restaurant also serves award-winning finger steaks. These finger steaks are a bit unique as they feature hand-cut prime rib that is lightly dusted with a tasty seasoning and deep fried until golden.
While Stewart’s Bar and Grill offers a full menu, you will never go wrong when ordering the finger steaks. At this restaurant, the finger steaks are hand-breaded and house-cut, creating a perfect meal. Pair them with fries and onion rings and you’ll be craving this meal for days to come.
