Indian Creek Steakhouse

Established in 2011, Jennifer and Dillon Wickel opened Indian Creek Steakhouse, A family-owned and operated restaurant offering a variety of options that are guaranteed to satisfy your cravings, in Caldwell, ID. Both Jennifer and Dillon are born and raised Idaho natives who moved to the Caldwell, ID area 15 years ago. With Jennifer working as a paralegal and Dillon as a horseshoer, they never dreamed of owning their own restaurant. The idea for Indian Creek Steakhouse originated from Dillon's Uncle, owner of the Wolf Lodge Inn Restaurant in northern Idaho, who felt that a steakhouse would thrive in the Caldwell, ID area. With his insight, the idea of owning and operating a steakhouse in Caldwell, ID became a reality for the Wickel family.
