    8 inch Turkey sandwich
    Megan V.

    While visiting Sandpoint, my boyfriend and I decided to try Joe's as he is a big Philly Cheesesteak fan and is always on the search for the next best sandwich. This shop is located in downtown Sandpoint, just off of the main street. There are a few tables inside, however it seems like most people opt for grab and go. We were greeted by a friendly server and grabbed a table after placing our order at the counter. There were quite a few to-go orders ahead of us, so there was a bit of a wait, but nothing unreasonable. The server brought our food to the table and we dug in as we were starving. The highlight was definitely the garlic fries, they were crisp and had a hearty amount of garlic- delicious! I had the 8 inch turkey sandwich and it was good, nothing mind blowing but definitely a good amount of turkey and veggies. My boyfriend was unfortunately disappointed with the cheesesteak as he felt it was really small and lacked flavor. That's just his personal opinion, however. Each sandwich came with a Dove chocolate in the basket, which was a cute touch. I love to support and to see local restaurants thrive, so it's worth trying Joe's for yourself if in the area.

    Good simply food. Great service. Tiny place right by downtown, very homey. Open on new year eve

    But so sweet.

    This place is a gem. Great food and the vibe is so old school. Love this place. The cutest woman ever took care of me.

    Must get garlic fries.

    Found this cute little cheesesteak joint while driving around town looking for something to eat and man this place was so delicious. There are 3 tables in this place but the staff were awesome, super nice and cheerful. This place is a must try, get the 12in though we definitely wished we did. Also even though it's made to order it didn't take very long for our food to come out. We will be going back a few times before we leave town we have more things to try.

    Atmosphere is arguably one of the most chic in Sandpoint - between slatted wood paneling, modern…read moregold sconces, Quartz & wall-mounted floating tables, and matte black + olive green color palettes, the café feels luxurious without feeling cold. The staff is lively and friendly - no surprise - and service is FAST. My espresso was prepped & handed to me before I even clicked on the "Tip Amount" on the card reader -- if on purpose, brilliant, if not, certainly made it an easy decision to tip generously. The baked goods perched in window at the front counter - between croissants, banana bread, tarts, cheesecakes,... - are beautifully crafted and tempt even the LEAST sweet tooth's of us. They have an EXTENSIVE list of crepes (both savory and sweet options) and sandwiches, so if you come for a grind session, you have plenty of (seemingly tasty) food options to choose from. Prices...$2.75 for a double espresso is a deal, especially at a well-staffed / newly(?) renovated / luxury coffee establishment such as this. They really could raise their price two-fold and I'd still be happy (at least coming from Californian like myself). My espresso was served hot but not burned, with low acid beans which contained an obvious LACK of mycotoxins & mold (at least based on my amateur judgement; I am a good judge, though, as I am extremely sensitive with coffee beans). So with that said, if you are sensitive and need high quality coffee beans, do what I do and make Bernklau your morning coffee spot if you are staying or live in the area. A+ all around. Kudos to the owner/manager and kudos to the staff.

It has since become a semi regular place for us when we're looking for breakfast or lunch of the sort that ends up being just about the only meal we'll eat that day. I can't recommend it from experience, but Green Eggs & Ham is what really put Hoot Owl on the map. But for my money, it doesn't get much better than their Ranch Burger. Breakfast or lunch, that's my go to along with an endless cup of coffee and tall glass of ice water. Whoever decided to mix ranch dressing and barbecue sauce deserves and Nobel effing Peace Prize. My wife has tried a number of their omelette and scramble offerings and never been disappointed. And then there's the cinnamon rolls. Brace yourself because it's literally the size of your face. Dripping in frosting and served with roughly half a cube of whipped butter, the cinnamon roll is an event unto itself, and definitely a prime item for sharing with the table. The atmosphere is very cozy and...Rural. It feels like something out of a period film; very down to earth and eclectic with lots of owl knickknacks all over the place. If you've a bad back or bad posture, I'd recommend a table over a booth as the booths are a little short in the seat and very straight backed. Parking is usually not bad, even when they're busy (which is often), but it's in a dirt lot that shares its real estate with a drive through coffee shack. Lots of potholes at the entrance, so depending upon your vehicle, get ready to slalom a bit. The restaurant offers free WiFi to guests and is relatively kid friendly with plenty of high chairs, decks of cards at the table, etc. Service has always been friendly and expedient. They recently started tacking on a 3% surcharge for card transactions, but if you pay cash you get a discount...Of 3%. Heh. Anyway, if you're in the area and you want a big meal at a decent price, this place is fantastic. Forgot to mention prices, but a half pound specialty burger with fries ranges $13-$16, and similar pricing on other entree menu items. Get you some.
