Forage Bistro & Lounge

Forage Bistro and Lounge understands positioning. Not just on the plate, but on the map. Happy Hour from 3 to 5 is not an afterthought here. The onion rings came out large, crisp, and disciplined. Just the right amount of batter. Zero grease. Paired with a clean, balanced aioli that didn’t overpower the bite. The pita and bean platter was generous and fresh. Built to share, but strong enough to stand on its own. Every element tasted intentional. Hearty without being heavy. Now add espresso martinis and a lineup of craft cocktails that actually deserve the title. The food didn’t compete with the drinks. It complemented them. That’s rare. And then there’s the setting. Ground level of the runway at Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport. We watched a jet roll past while finishing our cocktails. You’re not near the runway. You’re on it. Top-tier location. Sharp execution. Worth the stop. Worth the fly-in.

This was an amazing place! I don’t think I’ve had a better meal in my entire life. The ambience of this airport themed restaurant was really cool and they allow you to go check out the museum that’s open in one of the hangers.

Excellent!!! Worth the drive if staying in Idaho Falls! Food , staff, ambiance was top notch! It is apparent this is a local community that cares about the food they plate. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection! I ordered the pork chops, side of Caesar and pecan tart. I could’ve ordered anything on the menu with confidence I was getting a very good farm to table meal! They also cared about their coffee and provided me a French press to guarantee its freshness. Thank you for this amazing experience!!!!!!

GREAT FOOD & DRINKS, GREAT ATMOSPHERE, GREAT VIEWS! We had such a wonderful experience at Forage in Driggs – so good we came back a second time on our trip! From the moment we arrived, the staff made our entire family feel incredibly welcome—it felt more like a celebration than just dinner. They were especially attentive to my gluten allergy, which made the night that much more relaxing and enjoyable. The staff was so kind and attentive and the chef was truly amazing. The patio was stunning, with incredible views of the Tetons and a vibe that perfectly balanced upscale and laid-back. Every detail, from the craft cocktails to the fresh, flavorful dishes, felt intentional and elevated, and SO DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend Forage if you’re in the area—great food, great people, and a setting you won’t forget. We’ll absolutely be back! Don’t forget to check out the Teton views on the patio, and go inside to tour the vintage warbirds!!

A fantastic meal with creative options using fresh ingredients. Our group of six had a great time and loved our meals. The service was friendly and very knowledgeable on each of the menu items. I had the beef short rib and it was perfectly prepared with a deep savory flavor. Everyone loved their meal choices.

Lisa and Christian have done a fabulous job with their restaurant at the Driggs Airport. Loved seeing the warbird museum! The food was especially delicious, all the staff were friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. If you are in Driggs, highly recommend this spot!

10/10. Went here for Valentine’s Day dinner. The food and cocktails were delicious and the service was attentive, accommodating and kind. Ordered the ravioli and meatballs. Both delicious. The crème de pot was amazing ! Started off with the ahi tuna app - tasteful and filling. Def will visit this place again. Worth every penny. Tried four cocktails and the mule was the best !

Wonderful food! Fresh ingredients. Great staff! Clean, comfortable atmosphere. We even had our corgi with us. They gave us outdoor seating. Our experience exceeded our expectations!

The staff were amazing. That said I felt like the cauliflower app was too salty and the butternut squash risotto too heavy on the parsnip so I couldn't even taste the butternut squash :(. Wednesday night half price bottles of wine was definitely a plus and the space was easy to have conversations in.

Food and service is amazing. Great cocktails, wine and beer. We had wonderful dinners and dessert. So good we came back for happy hour a few days later. Everything is delicious.

So obviously I don't write my reviews any time close to when I actually go to these restaraunts (FYI I'm 100's of reviews behind presently)... so the pics and any dish descriptions will be totally unhelpful here since they change the menu seasonally. But suffice to say, all the superlatives that this place elicits are 100% warranted. Beyond the praise, I would say it was one of the best meals we've experienced all year. ALL YEAR... I mean you could transport this restaurant to NYC and it would be like the hottest restaurant on the block. If you go to Driggs and don't experience it did you even ever go to Driggs at all? Seriously, did you?...

Great place and happy to check it out while visiting. Get a reservation if possible as it's always busy and fairly small inside. It's cozy and nice inside and everyone really friendly. We ordered a bottle of wine and cocktails. Tried the ginger and huckleberry and wish the huckleberry flavor would have come thru more. For food we started with the garlic bruschetta and wild boar stew. Both were great with flavor, texture, and portion. My main was the special of the day, seabass. It came out cool-chilled and fish didn't feel completely cooked, didn't flake away, and couldn't cut thru it. They told me that's how it's supposed to be. I asked them to cook it more as I was worried it was slightly too raw. They kindly did and was perfect when it was brought back. Noodles under the fish were hot this time as well and fish was cooked, flaky, and glistening. Portions were pretty filling but had room for dessert. We tried the chocolate one (can't remember what it was called) and was amazing. It was my favorite thing to eat of the night. Texture was smooth and light, flavor balance with the salty and sweet, and loved the crust. Food was all presented beautifully and glad we got to eat here.

Our absolute favorite restaurant when visiting. This was our 3rd time dining, 1st time at their new location. The food was fantastic as usual. My wife and I had a little bit of everything. There was nothing bad. We went early so it wasn't too busy. We got amazing service as well. Our waitress was super nice and took great care of us. I wish I could remember her name to give credit, but we remember her pesto backpacking story. Hopefully she sees this. Also being right at the airport, doesn't get better than watching all the planes come and go.

Fun to dine at new private airport setting. Gourmet, interesting dishes. Excellent wine selection. Attentive service.

Absolutely exceptional meal! Lacy was incredibly attentive without being overbearing. We were seared next to the window for a front row view of a plane shuttling by. Highly recommend 'Forage' for an incredible experience in the Teton Valley.

This was our first visit to Forage after their move to the old Warbirds location at the Driggs airport. The service was great, until it wasn't. Overall I was disappointed in our experience. I think the true gem here is their Happy Hour but it's short, only 3-5 daily. Their HH menu has decent offerings for good and drink and brings the prices down from the stratosphere to a more reasonable level. My wife was interested in the Salmon and asked a question about their sourcing. She was told "it's wild caught Norwegian Salmon." Ain't no such thing folks...all Norwegian Salmon is farmed. Given the price we paid our waitress should have known better. I paid $27 for their hamburger/ fries. They tried way too hard on this monstrosity. It was not well executed. Just give me a properly cooked, high quality beef burger that is properly cooked. Speaking of, the expression "died at the pass" definately applied to our meal. The salmon came out cold, and my burger came out overcooked and the fries were cold. Inexcusable at these prices. Not going back for dinner anytime soon but will be trying the Happy Hour. I hope your experience is better.

Had our first lunch today at Forage new location at Driggs airport. Was very impressed and surprised on the food. Potato soup was full of flavor. I had the trout sandwich and at first bite I said this is delicious!!!!

This restaurant is great. Wonderful atmosphere. Amazing service. And delicious food and you can watch the planes come and go. We enjoyed the cauliflower wings as an appetizer and the heat was just right. We each ordered a different meal so we could share. The Duck Panzanella salad was fantastic and a favorite. First class evening. Thank you.

Food was above average for the area . Nice view of the mountains from our table . Located at the local airport

Staff was friendly, cocktails were on point and most importantly, the gnocchi was fresh and delicious as was the lamb shank. Don't be dissuaded by a restaurant at the back local airport - we also liked drinks and appetizers in the deck before dinner!!

This place is such a gem in this cool Teton Valley. We ate here 3 of 6 nights; got hooked after our first meal. The textures, sauces, presentation and quality of food is spectacular. And then...there's these incredible desserts that are decadent and flavorful. Look forward to returning here for the mountain fun and this specific bistro. Thank you for the incredible meals!

This restaurant is the bomb! The service was great. We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to squeeze us in on the bar. Sitting there gave us the opportunity to watch the chef at work. It also provided us an opportunity to see all the magnificent dishes being created. They all looked and smelled great! We ordered the brisket sliders and the tenderloins. Both were delicious, but the tenderloins were to die for! We ended our meal with the Mexican chocolate with cayenne pepper, which was luscious!

Such a great find! We thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of wine (half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays), the charcuterie board, the game meatballs, the seasonal crème brûlée, and the tiramisu (with a glass of port). One of the best meals we've had all year! Everything was excellent from the food and wine to the service to the ambiance! We would highly recommend Forage and will definitely be returning when we are in the area again!

Great food and ambience and service in Driggs, Idaho. We had read a review that the food was comparable to a New York City restaurant and we agree, the menu was different than what we expected but we had their special a trout dish, and the veggie burger, everyone enjoyed the food and experience!

Fantastic food and spectacular service! Will definitely come back. Recommend making a reservation.

First time going. Salad was soggy, "ceviche" had no fish in it. It was literally mango salsa!! Rabbit enchiladas were full of bones, kids meal was too dry to eat. Gave us a "free dessert" for not wanting to eat the $40 enchiladas...dessert also not great. Son's stomach was immediately super sick from the Ahi tuna. Now I know why it is called Forage.

Everything was delicious. They put a lot of thought into their menu and dishes, with a local flair.

Visiting some family in Driggs, we decided to pop into Forage for a last minute dinner. We didn't have reservations, but they were happy to work with us to grab a four top in their outdoor patio area. We got a bottle of the house red, Spanish I believe, for around $35. A personal pet peeve of mine, is fine dining that doesn't offer some kind of bread/starch with the meal. Of course they want to sell an appetizer or two, but sometimes it's just nice to have a little artisan bread to nibble on with your wine. But that doesn't affect the food! Speaking of, I was torn between the veggie lasagna and the handmade meatballs with creamy polenta and pistachios. The server mentioned she was a vegetarian, so couldn't offer an opinion of the meatballs, but her friends who were in town that week both got them and raved. That was good enough for me. The meatballs were really, really good. Tender, with a savory sauce on top, sat on creamy polenta and crushed pistachios. It was a really good play on savory + salty + sweet in each bite. It was a bit on the small side. So if you're hungry, you may want to get Into a soup or salad on the front end. The price point was probably a little higher than it felt like it should have been, but when you're the best fine dining option in a little bedroom town like Driggs, you can get away with it. I would absolutely return here, as the food and service were both top tier. Especially for that area. The price point makes it a once in a while place, not an every other week spot. At least for my budget. Regardless, if you find yourself in Driggs and want the best the town has to offer, I'd suggest you give the folks at Forage a try. I think you'll be glad you did.

Oh. My. Gawd. The food the ambience fabulous. Stuffed pepper was *chef's kiss*. Amazing spot for date night/girl's night.

In from Phoenix. Creative menu, small town feel, flavorful food. I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be here again. I got the rabbit enchiladas. I highly recommend.

Probably the best and most gourmet spot you'll found around these parts. The food is well prepared with high-quality ingredients, artfully plated, and I think could hold its own even in larger, more foodie-centric markets. The venue is small, but we felt appropriately distanced since there were only a handful of other diners when we arrived for our dinner reservation. Our waiter was excellent, masked up at all times, attentive to our drink/food needs, and pleasant to chat with. We first shared the House Pierogi and Forage Dip Trio. The former, which consisted of little doughy pockets stuffed with local potato and served with these incredible sauteed shiitake mushrooms, green onions, sour cream, and dill was probably our favorite dish of the entire meal. Just a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The Dips were hit-or-miss. The Roasted Beet dip served with crunchy cucumbers was nice but fairly standard. The Miso Yam dip was more adventurous, sweet, salty, and rather bitter on the back end. I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. The Eggplant dip wasn't especially memorable but came with the best toasted sesame chips. In terms of main course, I went with the Paella-stuffed Calamari. If I had known how olive-forward the dish would be, I would have chosen something else, since I am not a fan of the briny abominations. But that's on me. The squid itself was a touch overcooked as well, and I would only recommend going for this dish if you have a high tolerance for a sour flavor profile. I did try a bite from the other dishes on the table, and they were darn good, particularly the Pan-seared Ribeye, which proved me wrong in thinking that there's no way it was worth paying $36 for steak at a restaurant. The Quail & Waffle was a peculiar dish that plays with sweet and savory, breakfast-like flavors, but it ultimately works and the meat was nice and crispy. I respect that Forage pushes itself into a creative, non-traditional space rather than spitting out pedestrian fare that caters to the least common denominator. Some dishes worked well, others less so, but it was a solid restaurant experience that paired exceptionally well with some local beer.

Make your reservation and enjoy any meal here. We did a happy hour and then booked a dinner before we finished our charcuterie board. Everything seems fresh and local and well curated. Wonderful flavor pairings. Don't miss out on their fresh breads or the amazing artichokes. But really I don't think you could go wrong with any choices.

This place is amazing! The buffalo ribeye is in the top 3 steaks I've ever had in my life, and I was hesitant because buffalo is leaner, and I like a fattier steak, but I cannot begin to tell you how good it was, it was very peppery just so you're aware, but it was amazing. The watermelon salad was ok, my wife liked it over the duck sausage and squash dish, which I preferred more. She had the wagyu burger and liked it, the ketchup that comes with it is a little different, by itself I wouldn't recommend it, but on the burger it worked amazingly well. The prices reflect the quality of the establishment, and make sure you make a reservation, they can get very busy. We will definitely come back when we are in the area, and we would make the trek from Jackson to Victor JUST for this place. I HIGHLY recommend Forage.

I'm a little baffled by the high ratings here. The service was friendly and warm, so 5 stars for that. The wine list was brief but well-considered. The food was 1-2 stars max. The crab cakes had no crab and were just fried corn meal. Kinda insulting to spend 20 bucks on dressed up falafel. The stuffed avocado had what were clearly canned green beans, and gelatinous octopus. The meatballs were fantastic though. Go figure, the meatballs saved the day, of all the courses. The humble meatball. I wish I shared the sentiments of all these reviews because I was Jonesing for a real solid meal this day.

Came here for a later dinner on Tuesday night and was blown away by the incredible dishes and well as the service. Although the restaurant is small, it did not feel overcrowded. The atmosphere is quaint and beautifully decorated which added a nice touch. My mom and I split the carrot salad and sirloin and both were incredible. We also got some Pinot noir that paired well with our meals. We ended the night with some creme brûlée and were both impressed with the flavor and texture. Unfortunately I cannot remember our servers name but she was extremely attentive and friendly. The only thing is because this restaurant is quite popular you definitely need a reservation! Will definitely be back.

So we love this restaurant. We only come here for special occasions as it's an hour away from us and expensive. We had a reservation for an outside table. They stuck us in a small table that should fit 2 people and there was 4 in our party. It was in the middle of the dining room that people had to keep squeezing by us to serve us and other tables. Dinner was amazing. Food was well prepared and worth it. Our server kept forgetting about us. With 4 people in our party, it was crowded and hard to have all our plates on the table. In the meantime there were 2 other 4-tops just sitting there that we should have been seated at. We ate, and ordered desert. 20 min later I asked another waitress about it. They had forgotten us. So we'd been there 2 hours by this time. It was ridiculous. Many tables had eaten and paid and left before we got our dessert. As soon as the waitress heard we didn't get our dessert, she made sure we got it within about 7 min. It was already made from a fridge/freezer in the back. Our meal with a tip was well over $300. Not sure we'll be back. So disappointed and wasn't great for my husband who's birthday we were celebrating. Food is worth returning for. He did a great job. Service was not.

Drew and his crew gave me a most excellent dining experience. Everything was superb, hot when it called for it, cold and crisp when it needed it. The service is home town friendly and it makes you want to come back. I hate to use the word gourmet or fine dining because you feel at home even though you get the fine dining experience...

Since we were on our honeymoon (to Jackson Hole, but staying in Driggs), I had it in my mind to have at least one nice dinner out. Don't get me wrong, Driggs is a great little town, but it's just that... little. I didn't expect to find such a nice restaurant with superb food. We started with Crab Fritters with summer corn, Fresno chili and lemon saffron aioli. They were fresh, crisp, crabby and wonderful! The lemon saffron aioli was like nothing I've ever had. I got the filet mignon with twice baked potatoes, oyster mushrooms and chimichurri. Every bite of the steak was heaven! Tender, flavorful, perfect amount of char/crust on outer, yet tender and just right on the inside. If you're in Driggs, do yourself a favor and go eat at Forage!!!

Loved everything about Forage. Stopped in for a special anniversary dinner. Servers were really kind and attentive. Brisket sliders with brie were outstanding and paired with a small salad were a great meal. The beef tenderloin with whipped potatoes, figs, and arugula was some of the best I have ever had. Great wine list. Beautiful little spot. If we can make it back to Driggs, we will definitely make it back to Forage!

Really nice spot. Excellent service, food and ambience. You can tell that everyone who works here cares about what they are doing.

Came here because it had such great reviews. I was underwhelmed. They didn't cut the ends off the brussel sprouts and they were served whole not cut and pan fried like most places- more like the dreaded boiled kind your grandparents served growing up than today trendy and yummy versions. Mushroom soup also not good. Mediocre wine selection. Should have gotten the burger- seems like meat and potatoes are their specialty as the burger and fries were ordered by several and looked good.

Sorry no pictures. We couldn't wait! I had the duck and my husband had the bison meatballs. OMGosh!!! So delicious! The duck was so moist and the meatballs had the most amazing flavor! I don't think you could do wrong at this restaurant! Two thumbs up! Yummy!!!

Excellent food and service. You'll likely need a reservation because it's a small space inside but it's worth it.

Random stop while riding Targhee. Great food and real good vibe. Went with group of six and everybody loved their dish.

They really knocked it out of the ballpark this time (again!). Every bite was beyond delicious. The lions mane mushroom miso zucchini ribbon dish was absolutely fantastic. Also the pierogies were to die for. And the special of the day scallops were melt in your mouth delicious. Bring your own to go containers to avoid all the waste. And just transfer from plates to your containers when it is ready. Save the earth!!

I sat at the bar and watched each meal being prepared, everything looked amazing! The lentil beet burger was refreshing, and the strawberry crumble with honey ice cream was great. Will definitely come back!

This cozy little spot is a must if you're in Driggs. Absolutely fantastic! The Lions Mane mushroom dish over a miso broth was one of the most unique and delicious dishes I've ever had. The Ribeye was also fantastic. This place has a cool vibe and friendly staff. Make sure you get a reservation on the weekend.

I like Forage. I've dined here maybe 15- 20 times. The service is excellent, most of the food really good. (they do a great wedge salad.) I've had everything on the current menu. I did not like the rabbit lasagna. (honestly tasted like tuna casserole, and had cartilage in it). That is not my usual experience here. Bison short ribs is my fav this summer.

Came here to celebrate my brother in laws engagement, and wow!!! Best decision!!! Food is soooooooo delicious and flavorful, my husband and I kept switching plates because both were soooo good. Definitely recommend this place.

A great way to end our vacation! Truly one of the best meals my wife and I have eaten. There was a lot of effort put into making sure all the ingredients created the best bite. Each morsel was spectacular. My wife has their daily special of steelhead trout and I had the Bison short ribs, they both were to die for. Great service and amazing food. Give a shot....you won't be disappointed.

Food was fine! Not super flavorful! We were super excited to try Forage based on reviews and we were a little disappointed.

This place is amazing! We had the house salad, bread and olive appetizers and split a butternut squash entree. Everything was fresh, tasty and impeccably prepared! Make reservations as this place is smell but worth finding and every penny!

It's our go-to date night dinner spot. They continue to change up the menu and have interesting new dishes. Also, great spot in the summer if you have an hour to kill and want to grab a glass of wine and a quick snack, while enjoying the sunshine on the deck.

super nom! only issue was elk chili was warm and not hot. tasty local root beer. chili was tasty, simple house salad was fresh. comfy space, nice server staff, chef was a little luke warm when we came in.

We were looking forward to eating here as the reviews were good and my favorite restaurant, The War Bird, was closed on Monday. The waitress suggested the special which was Rib Eye cooked with fingerling potatoes. We enthusiastically went for it. The meal arrived with half cooked turnips (no potatoes) and an average Rib Eye. Applesbees quality, except Applebees would have given me the potatoes. Typically, a quality restaurant would have tried to make up for the below average product but not this one. When asked "how everything was" I mentioned not so good and why. Might as well have been talking to a wall. I am over the "because of covid mentality" justifying providing overly expensive and below quality food. Do better!

Having been here twice, I am happy to say both times were amazing. Happy hour (between 3-5) made this second visit an even more memorable experience. The charcutarie board was tasty and beautiful. I had the meatballs and loved every bite. Great service, excellent value, tasty wine & food make this a not-miss. We can't wait to go back!

Absolutely a treasure find in Driggs. The food was fabulous and our waitress knowledgeable about food and wine. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
