About Us

The Cutthroat Club is an homage to the Idaho state fish the Cutthroat Trout, which refers to the iconic red coloration on the underside of the trout's lower jaw. Also because the Wood River Valley offers a variety of fishing from fly rod, wade fishing, ice fishing and more. The storied Big Wood River provides immediate local access to miles of riffle-run-pool trout fishing. Just south of Bellevue is the iconic Silver Creek, which is has an abundance of rainbow and brown trout. The experience of Silver Creek usually is coupled with seeing a variety of wildlife from moose, deer, elk, waterfowl and the view of the valley are incomporable. 

Cutthroat owners chose this location not only to provide the south Wood River Valley with a great dining experience, but to create community.

The building the restaurant is in, has been a focal point in Bellevue for more than 100 years.

It was the Idaho State Bank, built in 1910 as a state-chartered commercial bank when there was no standard federal currency, according to local historians. Douglas Miller was the manager, son of Henry Miller, who bought 50 percent interest in the Minnie Moore Mine on Broadford Road. The bank failed and may have housed another bank briefly.

Since 1928, the building has housed several businesses, including Glenn's Grocery, which operated there for 25 years.
