A long-vacant Clarkston Heights restaurant venue has been revived by an engaged couple.
Dustin Roby and Alex Palmer opened the Hayes House at 2315 Appleside Blvd. in the first week of January. Palmer is a pharmacist and Roby owns Snap Fitness in Lewiston, Clarkston and Moscow.
The menu was developed by Magen Fairley, a previous owner of Brava’s and Brock’s in downtown Lewiston. She is now an assistant professor of hospitality management at Lewis-Clark State College.
Hayes House has almost 30 choices, including hamburgers and sandwiches.
Among them are a crawfish boil bag with a pound of the crustaceans tossed in a cajun butter sauce ($18), house macaroni and cheese with sundried tomato, bacon, chicken, and red onion ($17), and a flank steak with an Italian chimichurri sauce ($28).
The namesakes of two dishes come from Asotin County schools. Clarkston High School fans can select the Bantam ($16). It’s a honey chicken patty with pickles, lettuce, pepper jack cheese, secret sauce and french fries.
The messy Panther ($17), named for Asotin High School’s mascot, features a third of a pound hamburger patty topped with seasoned pork, fried egg, jalapeno and mustard aioli. It’s served with french fries.
The business has capacity for 140 customers. People of all ages can sit in a dining room and game room. The bar is available for those 21 and older. It serves beer, wine and spirits.
Hayes House is open from 11 a.m. until the crowds thin Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 8 a.m. until the crowd thins on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. A full menu is available until 9 p.m. those days and a limited selection of entrees is sold until close.
The bar and game room are open 3-11 p.m. Monday and Tuesday with a limited menu.
Roby, a former owner of the Lewiston bar Work, completed the renovation.
He acquired the building and land for $561,500 in late November from Greg Anderson, who had purchased it a year earlier, according to the Asotin County Assessor’s office.
