About Us

For 35 years “The Grill” has become a must-have destination meal for seasonal visitors and a welcome gathering spot for full-time residents up throughout the Wood River Valley. Located in the historic Ed Williams House built in 1885, on the corner of East Avenue and Fifth Street, The Grill receives continued accolades, including being selected one of the “eight best Ski town restaurants” by Snow Country Magazine with “food rivaling Manhattan’s best”. The Ketchum Grill was founded in 1991 and is an extension of Scott and Anne Mason’s hard work and creative talents in the kitchen. Now owned and operated by Kaari Harlamert who strives to keep the local tradition alive while bringing a fresh outlook to the restaurant. The Ketchum Grill represents what is best in “American Cuisine” – local and seasonal richness combined with their passion for food throughout the world, great service, atmosphere, and most of all the community of sharing a meal with one another. Open seven nights a week at 5:00 pm, you’ll find house-made breads and desserts, fruit-wood grilled meats, Idaho local trout and meats, seafood, seasonal variety, nightly specials, and decadent desserts alongside and an awarding winning wine list and great selection of North Western micro-brews and craft beers.
