This place was AMAZING. The food was several steps above what the exterior led me to expect. Beer selection was good, once again, food was amazing. We got Japanes bbq pork for an appetizer, wife got a veggie grilled cheese (looked like a salad on bread), with creamy garlic tomato soup. I tried the soup. Unctious, tomato flavor hard then slight garlic and salt aftertaste. I had buffalo chicken mac n cheese with a ceasar salad, it was absolutely incredible and huge!

The pesto sandwich was amazing. The French dip was labeled as delicious by a picky teenager. The kids grilled cheese was perfectly ordinary for the 7 year old. And the homemade soup was delicious! The portions are big. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious! It I lived near by we would eat there all the time. Could not recommend more!

This was the best lunch on our 3,000 mile bike trip from Dublin California to Spearfish SD. Staff - Service & Food was excellent. The Mongolian Beef Fusion Bowl was delicious. As was the adult grilled cheese & soup. This is definitely a must stop if you are passing through town!!!

19 October 2024 Super awesome waitress tonight for us 2 at the little side table by the door. Bad@ veggie pasta & Caesar side salad & the peanut noodle thing was fabulous. Tight quarters and just on a Saturday evening, but great vibe, I'll be back again!

Another fantastic meal from the Junkyard! After a long week I just didn't feel like cooking, so I ordered out the garlic burger with pasta salad and a slice of cheesecake. It was ready quickly, reasonably priced, and the staff at pickup were great!

We went to Junkyard Bistro right after fishing in North Fork. It was such a great experience. We loved the atmosphere. Our food was timely and I really loved the Gnocci I was served. We will definitely have to stop back by on our way through.

What a gem in the beautiful area of Salmon. By far, it is the best place to eat in the area with incredible service and food options. I have eaten there over 5 times, and it always impresses me. The food is delicious, but inwouod say they do an incredible job on the presentation. I have had their burgers and different pastas or mac and cheese, but their appetizers never disappoint. I almost would go just for those. I chose this time to get the mac and cheese and add chicken but without the Buffalo sauce. Last time with the Buffalo sauce, it was just too hot for me, but that is my preference. The dish was perfect and tasted wonderful. It is a cheesy, almost Alfredo sauce that is creamy and light tasting. It is truly a place I will always return any time I am in Salmon.
