Restaurants in Hayden

Go Go Burrito fills its kitchen with locally sourced ingredients in order to prepare fresh salsas and sauces daily. The restaurant’s "Build Your Own" entrees can be loaded with beef, chicken, pork, steak, rice, beans, and a variety of vegetables. During the ordering process, customers can opt to top off entrees with one of Go Go's fresh salsas or sauces, such as pesto ranch, chipotle, thai peanut, guacamole, or ghost pepper salsa. Patrons can settle down in Go Go’s brightly painted dining room or pick up orders through the drive-thru window.

Sala Thai’s aversion to commercial advertising may seem strange at first, but one step inside the restaurant’s bustling dining room shows that its word-of-mouth reputation for piquant curries, stir-fried noodle dishes, and artistic presentations has already spread. Aromatic plates of Thai cuisine arrive at tables still steaming from the heat of the kitchen, where a single chef remains hard at work through lunch and dinner, eschewing pre-packaged ingredients for fresh meats, veggies, and spices. Verdant basil leaves and piquant peppers add their colors to imaginative presentations of meat nestled in pineapple half-shells and tofu encased in the mouths of live dragons. Domestic and Thai beers and locally cultivated wines complement meals and douse the flames of accidental fire-breath.

Forty-One South crafts its menu of upscale American cuisine using many locally sourced ingredients. As diners nestle into the scenic lakefront lodge, servers ferry plates of pan-seared duck confit and mesquite-smoked filet mignon to linen-clad tables. Herbs picked from the eatery's onsite garden bolster the flavors of locally sourced game, and the eatery also stocks local coffee and honey procured from the region's wild Pooh bears. A panoramic view of Lake Pend Oreille calms observant diners. On Saturday nights, romantic music fills the dining area, and live music lights up the lounge on Thursday evenings.
