Eat in local hotspots to relieve your hunger while in Lewiston
On your travels you may often find yourself in Lewiston, Idaho, wondering where you want to eat. Don’t bother eating at a chain food restaurant and instead try some of the local restaurants. The top three restaurants I recommend you should go to are Effie Tavern, Zany Graze and Main Street Grill. Each of these restaurants brings something unique to the table and offers a great experience in their own way.
Effie Tavern
Effie Tavern can be a little hard to find, located at 1120 Main Street, but when you get there you will be surprised by the food. They are known for their gigantic hamburger weighing in at one pound and measuring eight inches in diameter. An Effie burger can be shared amongst the group or you may choose to tackle it by yourself.
Not only is the hamburger bigger than your face, it is also cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth. I highly recommend going to Effie Tavern and ordering a hamburger just for the experience of the burger alone.
Although they have a great burger and everyone should try it at least once, the environment in the building leaves something to be desired. After recently going to Effies, it did not take long for the flies to get annoying. I would recommend going in the evening or just ordering the food to go.
Zany Graze
Zany Graze is located at 2004 19th Avenue in Lewiston and offers a great and unique eating environment. The ceiling and walls of Zany Graze are decorated with the most random items you could think of.
Zany Graze takes pride in their wide variety of decorations, which is meant to resemble the large amount of variety in their menu. Every time you go you will find something new, such as a shark, airplane, trains set, jukebox, bicycle, the Beatle figurines and so much more.
Zany Graze offers a wide variety of food and is a great place to enjoy a meal and scenery. Not only does Zanys have a great environment to eat in, they also have great food that is reasonably priced.
Main Street Grill
Main Street Grill is located at 625 Main Street and serves American style food such as steak, hamburgers, seafood and more.
At Main Street Grill you can get a booth, sit outside and enjoy the weather and atmosphere of Main Street Lewiston or sit at the counter and watch the cooks as they prepare food for everyone in the restaurant. Main Street Grill is a friendly and entertaining environment and, in my opinion, is one of the best restaurants in town.
Anyone could stop by a chain restaurant and be on their way, but I would highly recommend taking the time to go to either Effies, Zanys or Main Street Grill. They each offer something unique that you should experience at least once.
