What People are Saying about

The Rusty Lantern Diner

“a little slice of heaven…”

I’m out of Boise doing some trucking. This was a little slice of heaven to me. Western cowboy decor with a great mix of old country, Traveling Willburys and even some feel good reggae coming out the speakers. Best sirloin I’ve ever had. I’m sort of only proteins and veg so they gave me tomato instead of hash browns. I rarely eat sugar but how could I pass up grandmas last piece of strawberry rhubarb cobbler. Cali behind the counter saw to my every wish for breakfast. If you don’t go, you are missing out….don’t miss out.Joe H

“…incredibly tasty food…”

“This little family run restaurant is a locally owned ‘greasy spoon,’ with some incredibly tasty food. They probably have the best French fires in the Idaho Falls area. If you want down-home service with down-home cooking, in a down-home cowboy atmosphere, this place is for you. Careful on Friday nights as it is their prime rib night (yummy), or you may not get a table or it’ll be gone.” Darren A

“better bang for your buck…”

Two of us had breakfast. Right off the bat we were greeted by the two owners. Felt like being home with mom and dad. The food was exceptional and filled me up. Best bacon and pancakes meal I ever had. I read a previous review that it was expensive and that is not true. Consider everything is home made, the price of food etc. I have eaten in other places and I feel there prices are below the other mediocre restaurants and you get a better bang for your buck. I eat out a lot and this country eatery is hands down the best and the prices are far. Give them a try and I promise you won’t be disappointed..” Peter G

“Best darn food…”

“Best darn food in the valley! Had the Philly Cheesesteak with fries. Plenty for the two of us. Very tasty. The fresh peach cobbler was also delicious. Great service and friendly owners. ” Frank
