We came here for dinner when we stayed overnight in Bonners Ferry. We sat at the bar, which is cozy and friendly, and was waited on fairly quick. We each had a cocktail and ordered dinner. I had the Black and Blue salad and the steak was cooked perfectly MR. The salad was fresh and crisp, a large portion, and plenty of homemade blue cheese dressing. My BF had the Swiss mushroom burger. He ate 3/4 of it! He said it was very tasty. I tried it and he was right. The burger was soooooo good. Our service was steady and attentive. I asked for a to go box of their popcorn. It was very good. I would deductions back here and recommend you do too. read more

I ordered fish and chips for myself, a hamburger for my husband. Both were awful. My fish was tough and tasted like it was very old freezer burnt perhaps. My husband's burger was as dry as the desert. read more

Very nice servers who were pretty attentive for their outside customers as well. Just got some drinks but the food looked really good. Would recommend sitting in the patio for some chats and a casual dinner! read more

This is my first time meeting here and it was a really good vibe from the moment I walked in. The two waitresses I think they were mother and daughter who waited on me and were both very nice and sweet. Really great service. I decided to get the homemade chili. It was OK. It didn't really taste homemade. But it was pretty good and then I got the sampler platter and that was pretty good. You could tell that a lot of people from the community go to this restaurant. I've been here for a week in Bonners ferry and it was the best place I have ate since I've been here. read more

Fair service. Hamburger was ordered medium rare and it came out well done. Quality of beef was poor

What a surprise! Excellent food, ambiance and service. The Asian chicken wrap had so many layers of flavors and the French dip was extremely tender. Definitely worth a visit. read more

We went to Mugsy's today after an unexpected trip to the emergency room. My wife was on crutches, and I had just done laundry with a toddler and an 8 year old, so neither of us was particularly in the mood to cook. The Mexican restaurant in town is closed on Tuesdays, and we were feeling adventurous so we traipsed across the street to Mugsy's, and boy am I glad we did. Near the front door I noticed a rather large collection of glass trophies declaring Mugsy's the "best" in Bonners Ferry, and, after our visit, I can see how one might arrive at that conclusion. The place seems kind of small from the outside, but inside it's quite expansive and nicely laid out. It was quiet, so we were told to seat ourselves as we pleased, which was great. The atmosphere is upscale rustic, lots of interesting illustrations and other artwork hanging on the walls, but well presented and orderly. The service was very friendly, accomodating and generally excellent. Our toddler is very busy, likes to explore and be walked around which wasn't a problem here at the after lunch/before dinner time at which we arrived. The menu was extensive with a wide array of sandwiches, burgers, pasta dishes, etc. most with familiar arrangements (French dip, for instance, or Cowboy burgers with onion rings and barbecue sauce) so it's easy enough to find something you will likely enjoy with a very low risk factor of disappointment. I ordered the Bistro Burger and my wife ordered the Cowboy Burger and we halved them so we both had essentially the same thing. The burgers were ENORMOUS. For the $16-17 price point, I feel like I got my money's worth here. It wasn't that much more expensive than Badger's Den, or even Burger Express, but the burger patties were easily 5-6" in diameter and at least half an inch thick & juicy as all get out. Both burgers were generously adorned with BBQ sauce or aioli (a hint that you should ask for extra napkins) and very flavorful. We opted for house fries and tater tots, which were both excellent, but for a modest price one could also sub in beer battered onion rings. We figured we already had rings covered with the Cowboy Burger, but it's worth mentioning that the beer batter was tremendously good. We will definitely be back. I'm already craving the French Dip I saw on the menu, and I'd really like to try their "Rattlesnake Pasta." There's so much more to try, and since we had the kids and all, we didn't even touch the beer menu (which is extensive). In summary though, we were very impressed with everything from the service to the food and now have a new favorite restaurant for those days when you kind of want the option of a bit of everything, done well and at a reasonable price. Excellence at an excellent value. Mugsy's is amazing. Get you some. PS: Parking on the street can be a little iffy, however, there was ample parking both behind the restaurant by the BF Public Library, and catty corner across the street behind the bank of red brick buildings. Also, when it came time to pay for our meal, there was a QR code that we could scan with the phone and pay via card, ApplePay, etc. Or, if you like doing things the old fashioned way, they're obviously set up for that, too. read more

Mugsy's Tavern & Grill - My daughter & I scoping out the mirror at Mugsy's. - American Near Me - Bonners Ferry, Idaho

Jessica was warm and welcoming as soon as I walked thru the front door. Sit anywhere you like she says. I picked a two top and checked out the drink menu, she brought over a lunch menu. She recommended burgers or hmmm I forgot, something else that she said are her go-tos. I selected Rattlesnake pasta, which was grilled chicken and jalapenos with alfredo over pasta. SO good, I totally stuffed myself not even saving room for carrot cake, which a stared at on the back of the menu as I ate. I also got a Lemonade with Huckleberry, oh yeah! about half way thru I knew the cake would have to wait until NEXT TIME! The ambiance was nice, Jessica knew most everyone who came in. I've definitely added it to my revisit list! I think I'll try out the Sip and Paint next. Every third Saturday at 5 pm -- and I can still make it home in time to milk the goat : ) read more

I've always loved their food and the atmosphere at this location is pretty awesome and everybody gave me great service while I have been here the past three times that I have gone and if it wasn't for me always having to work I probably wouldn't hear every single day if I have the choice read more

I ordered a chef salad with deli ham and turkey. After waiting 1 hour, I was told they hadn't started on my salad because the ticket in front of mine had ordered chicken. The chicken was frozen and needed to thaw. They wouldn't start to make my salad before that ticket was finished. The ticket before mine wouldn't be finished until the frozen chicken thawed. I ordered a salad... and waited an hour to receive no salad because of frozen chicken on the ticket before mine. Would not recommend. read more

Food was decent but service took a horrible turn. I needed additional thousand island dressing for my Reuben and after waiting 20 minutes I asked a separate server. She got it to me with apologies and I'm here an additional 20 minutes and still haven't seen our server. We've been waiting 15 minutes for the bill alone. read more

Shopping around the town and stoped by Mugsys and the fries I have to say are incredible. The amount of spice and the sauce it comes with are amazing. I travel around a lot and these basket of fries are some of the best I've had. Thank you, Allison for the fries, the old fashion, and wonderful service! read more

Mugsy's was a nice dinner! My sons and I enjoyed the vibe and we had good bar food. I really liked their au jus for my french dip because it had good beef flavor, and wasn't to salty. Our waitress was great and made nice bar recommendations. Everything was tasty and filling, and I needed both fellas to help me finish mine lol. We went on an easy going Monday night, but I bet this place can get real busy. read more

Mugsy's Tavern & Grill - Summer Salad - American Near Me - Bonners Ferry, Idaho

The food at Mugsy's is always fresh and delicious. Today was lunch with a friend while shopping in town. We both ordered the Steak and Cheese wrap. The choice of sides were soup, salad, or fries. We both decided on the Daily soup special - Cream of Mushroom. It was perfect for a snowy day. The soup had the perfect consistency and the pieces of mushroom were fresh, flavorful, and just the right size. This is definitely made from scratch. As for the wraps - Mmmmmm. We both ordered our steak medium rare and our choice of cheese - one with Swiss (me) and one with provolone. The steak was tender, perfectly cooked chunks of steak with the cheese and fresh veggies. Due to the generous portions we had to pass in dessert- this time. Service was also spot on as usual. read more

My daughter and I enjoyed a very nice meal tonight at Mugsy's. The restaurant is fairly large with outdoor seating that is covered with a nice pergola and there are quite a few tables inside. I did not see any booths, I believe it is all tables with chairs. Everything was clean and well kept. Service was quick and friendly with my only gripe being the brimming of the soda with ice. If they put less in, there would have been a need for fewer refill trips. We both ordered burgers and both were excellent. Very obvious that they are generous sized, hand formed parties. Toppings on both were excellent. My daughter had the Butternut Squash/Jalapeño soup side which was very good and I had the side salad with blue cheese. I believe the dressing was house made. We finished things off by sharing a huckleberry cheesecake. As mentioned in an earlier review it is not too sweet, making it a perfect way to finish off the meal. Overall a great experience and would definitely come back. read more

My husband and I drove to Bonners ferry to see what there is to see, but the next time we come up here, we will be be seeing what there is to eat... at Mugsy's Tavern! Seriously, most of the restaurants were closed today because it's Sunday, and I'm glad they were because it let us to the right place. Mugsy's is very cute, but clubby little ambience aside, the Black & Blue Salad was amazing. It could not be better. The sirloin was ordered medium rare, and I could cut it with the edge of my fork. The bacon was crispy and a blue cheese was top shelf. But the real showstopper at Mugsy's is there chicken wings. I know, wings are typically a little pedestrian, a little common, but not these! They were the plumpest, most succulent wings I have ever eaten in my life. I complained the waitress that she didn't warn us that they were as addictive as crack. Next time we come here, My handsome husband and I will share either the black and blue salad or the seafood salad, and fill out the rest of our meal with wings. There's probably many show stoppers on their menu, but I don't know if I can ever make it past the wings. Seriously, they are that good. We ordered the Parmesan garlic and the mango habanero. To die for! read more

Delicious, hands down! I had a burger and side salad. I couldn't stop raving about it with every bite. The people with me loved it too. Service was so nice. It was Jaycie I think. We went in November 2023. It was a little chilly in there, but they had a couple wood or pellet stoves going. read more

The burgers had a very gamy taste. I even asked the waitress what kind of meat it was I could only eat a quarter of my burger because of the taste the people were friendly but the service was very slow. read more

Nice restaurant and bar owned by a couple who moved from New Hampshire to far northern Idaho. Large menu offers a variety of burgers, sandwiches including a BLT with crabmeat, pasta dishes, salads, chili, daily soup specials, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. Dessert options also, but we didn't have any today. We really enjoyed their special draft root beer served with a nice foamy head in a pilsner glass. Delish! We spoke to the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. She told us the history of the restaurant and pointed out the photograph of MUGSY, a big German Shepherd! Good place for a good meal on a chilly day! read more

Service is amazing and friendly, food is fantastic, the patio is great for spring seating. Great ambiance and location in downtown Bonner's Ferry. Husband had a couple of hamburger patties and fries, and I had the black and blue salad but with cajun chicken instead of steak. Both were amazing. read more

I've eaten here several times on my to and from Canada. Never once have I been disappointed. Today, however, they served me, what I truly believe was, the best burger of my entire life. The Drunken Cowboy was beyond it. The bourbon maple bacon sauce and the added thin fried onions made it outstanding. Good food and great atmosphere what more could you want. read more

Mugsy's tavern and grill was a great find. We both had salads, an Asian chicken and a Cobb. Both were filling and tasty, and our server was perfectly attentive and quick. Best of all was the skill of the bartender. We ordered 'no mix' margaritas which were OUTSTANDING. Highly recommend. read more
