I am in total agreement with the other reviewed, Kathleen S. This was a disappointment across all fronts. The actual location is cool. Historic house, nice charm...we had high hopes. The server was AWFUL. The place is small. She was the only one working besides the one guy in the kitchen. This actually would be fine for any server who knows what they are doing. It wasn't full so there really was no excuse for the lack of attention or detail. Brought out waters with no ice. When asked for a cup of ice it was brought out in a plastic to-go cup. We asked if you had a kids menu and was told yes. Asked for it THREE times and still never got. When she came to take our order she rattled off what she could remember off the kids menu. We had to decide then and there. We ordered a burger, duck carnitas tacos, and pulled pork sandwich. The "aioli" was not aioli but instead just normal, good old fashioned mayo. Gross. My daughter ordered her pulled pork with the crispy fried jalapenos on the side and no onions. Guess what came out? Yup everything she asked not to be on the sandwich was on it. This is a server issue. Not a kitchen one. She either didn't communicate it correctly or she didn't double check the orders she is bringing to the table. In this instance, I would say it was more than likely both. The way the duck tacos are described on the menu sounded like we couldn't go wrong. It was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on food. $18!!! Yes, you read that right. It was the smallest piece of duck (not even a good piece of the duck) that was clearly not cooked in any of those things, with three pathetic looking corn tortillas rolled up and old looking, with some corn and some mole (which wasn't even real mole). I literally looked at it in shock. I should have taken a photo. It was gross. The burger was mediocre at best and the pork sandwich uneventful. The person that wrote the menu did a great job describing some great dishes but sadly the kitchen doesn't deliver. We sat around forever waiting for our waitress to bring the bill when it was more than obvious in this small space (and that she passed us multiple times) that we were done and ready. We won't return. We get a much better meal at Crafted for the same price. Better food, better portions. Maybe they are trying to open too many restaurants? Maybe stick with what you are good at (Wandering Table) and stop trying to do so much. It's a bummer because the location couldn't be better and more adorable. read more

I realize it's a new restaurant but the service was just bad. When we walked to our table and it was not even cleaned off from the prior customer. Then it took over 20min to have a waitress acknowledged us and offer us menus. One high point was that the appetizers we actually pretty good! The burger was burned and the bun was cold... and the beer was not cold. I had high hopes for this restaurant because it was close to our home and the menu that they posted on Facebook looked pretty promising. But when we showed up that was not the same menu and the items that I was most excited to try were unfortunately not an option. Worst 100.00 I have spent read more

This is my favorite place to go in Post Falls! The food is delicious, the service is attentive and friendly, and it's located in a converted old house- so cool! Try the republic burger or the spinach and beet salad with salmon. They also have a bar with a great selection of rotating draft beers. Two thumbs up for this place :). read more

YOU HAVE TO TRY THE BELLY SNACKS!!! Just make sure you don't show up to late, or they will be sold out. Friendly helpful staff! :-) great Beer that is constantly rotating. Every time they kill a keg. They tap something different! read more

You guys. This place sets itself apart from a town filled with dive bars. The beer selection, menu, and atmosphere are a haven to us, a family from the Portland area. We know our pubs and this is one of the good ones! The waitstaff was kind and accommodating to our five little kids. The food was a creative take on classic pub fare. And the atmosphere was perfect! Who wouldn't want to sip amazing beer in a historic house?! We loved it. Will definitely come back when we're in town! read more

Great food, inventive menu with a cool vibe for atmosphere!! Service was excellent too. I'll be back!

We had an amazing experience! There were tons of delicious choices on the menu and our meals didn't disappoint. The beers were yummy and the service was excellent. read more

Can't believe I didn't know this place was here until last night. Good enough that I'm finally writing a review for a restaurant. REAL FOOD finally seems like there are some restaurants serving this again. This place is definitely one of them, had the Korean chicken sandwich out of this world! read more

This place has amazing service and the wait staff are so friendly! The food is fresh and wonderful! Love the Mac and Cheese.

I've been here quite a few times and really loved the space and the food! The last time I went though I had a really bad experience, I reached out to them after it happened & got no response, making it even worse. To make a long story short, I was there on a Friday night around 8, it wasn't too busy. I ordered an appetizer and a couple salads and besides initially taking our order the waitress basically ignored us for the next thirty minutes, was no where in sight and we never got any food. Frustrated and hangry we left after about 40 minutes... read more

Nice little place. Great service and very fast. Just don't order the bacon monte cristo. I almost forgot my to go box on purpose. Not a great sandwich. I would go back and try a different selection. read more

The duck carnitas were a pleasant surprise!! If we were local, we'd make this spot a weekly date night out!

We left after an hour and 15 minutes. Beer was good but the wait time for our dinner was over the top. We were hoping it would be a good place but we're seriously disappointed. They need someone running the place that keeps things moving. We will not rerun! read more

The food us great, staff was friendly, and it's a great location with some outdoor seating for nice days!

We've never had a bad meal here. Service is always fast and friendly. Love that this restaurant is right here in Post Falls. It's our first pick for date nights or bringing friends or family visiting us! read more

Not sure how/why we waited TOO long to try this little gem! Went here as a party of 9 during happy hour for my husband's birthday. There was not ONE person at the table who wasn't pleased with their food! Ordered 3 appetizers, the repub fries, avocado nachos, and sea salted pretzel.. all of them DELISH! everyone ordered something different for their meals, and there was not one complaint! The sweet potato salad is a MUST! Our server, Garrett, did a fantastic job of keeping up with our large group. All of orders came out perfect also! ONLY complaint, dare I even call it that... The dining area is not the greatest for a large group! read more

This place is my new go to spot! Food is amazing, good atmosphere, awesome beer selection and the staff is always super friendly and fun. I've yet to not be blown away by any food I've ordered here. read more

First time Republic Kitchen and Taphouse last Friday. We got a table quickly, the server was very friendly, the food was amazing, and the restaurant was super cute. Very impressed, we will definitely be going again! Thank you. read more

Republic was a great spot to enjoy an afternoon happy hour. They have a variety of beer on tap and a good wine selection. The nachos were delicious, and unique with the use of homemade potato chips as base. The atmosphere is fun and casual, and the outdoor patio will be a great place to come enjoy drinks and food during the summer months! read more

Nice menu. Twice fried chicken was awesome. We had four people in our party and there was nothing but complements. Decent been on tap. Seating is minimal. Will go back read more

The food was delicious, we had the Twice Fried Chicken Korean Style and the Republic Burger and both were SO good! I got the fries which were really good, but the warm crispy potato salad is what I will choose from here on out! The outdoor seating set the mood perfectly for a fun Friday night in the sun. Service was good and our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable. We'll definitely be back to try out some more tasty food! read more

First time here and the food was absolutely delicious! Wasn't crazy about the garlic cheese sauce but non the less definitely great place to eat! Prices were reasonable also. read more

Our first time trying Republic! Darling place, cheery waitress however it is tiny so be prepared to have no elbow room! Food was delicious however we waited at least 45 min. Definitely need to work on service or additional servers! Menu was fun and original-including the drink menu! Also happy to see gluten free items! Sangria was yummy! Enjoyed our visit however we will wait a while before returning in hopes that the wait times will improve. read more

The food is so amazing! Seriously one of the best in Post Falls. The service is outstanding! The friendly staff made me feel welcome as though they knew me. I would definitely recommend! read more

Food was awesome, unique and full of flavor. Atmosphere was wonderful, service was stellar. A great experience all the way around. Wonderful drinks. read more

Really unique flavors. Fair prices, and a great location. This is definitely a place to check out.

Wow. Incredible food. Had their version of the Monte Cristo and bat sliders. They were great . The butternut squash soup was great. Only 9 beers on tap, but we'll thought out read more

Service was great and the setting was quiet and cozy. Their prices are somewhat high for the area. Not your typical bar food, it is unique and not what I expected. It was tasty. But make sure to ask questions about the flavors. read more

We sat on the patio and it was beautiful. Service was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! I had the fish and chips, delicious. My husband had the burger, big and yummy. Our friends had the Mac n cheese, to die for! Highly recommend this gem in Post Falls! read more

Location and vibe for this place is nice. We went on a Tuesday around 5pm and there weren't many people there. The happy hours prices are very low, and the roasted avocado nachos had a great flavor (the one thing that would make me come back) and the pretzels were standard pub fare. Our entrees were just okay, and the burger my friend ordered was terrible. He ate a few bites. We could have said something but we just wanted to leave. The burger tasted very old like they shouldn't have served it. We should have probably said something to the server but the chef and server should have told us this might make you sick. read more

I was sceptical and apprehensive to try this place after reading some of the reviews. This place is awesome! It has a great atmosphere and good beer selection. It is a wonderful addition to Post Falls. My husband and I have eaten here about 4 times and have never been disappointed with the food. The service is friendly and fun. We will be back for sure. read more

Delightful lunch at Republic Kitchen, cute ambiance, great service staff.my blue burger was delicious! Can wait to return

Amazing food. Have eaten there several times & have yet to have anything I didn't like. The menu is very unique; classic dishes with crazy twists. And nearly everything is made in house from scratch! The staff is very sweet & makes you feel welcome right away. The restaurant is small but cozy & comfortable. Great atmosphere. read more

Republic Kitchen+Taphouse - New American Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

See all

Food was nothing to tell your friends about. Nice small environment, but food and service was less than expected. Waitress acted like she was in a hurry and it was not even busy. Overall might give it one more try to see if we just hit it on a bad day. read more

EXCELLENT food, great atmosphere. Wish they had a printed beer list but definitely highly recommend.

Went soon after they opened when they were supposed to have a full menu and most of the menu was not available and the waitress did not know the menu and had to check. The food was was okay but not worth the prices. Was very disappointed and probably won't be going back. read more

Came at happy hour and loved the selection. I can't speak for the entres but the appetizers were great (shout out for the avacado nachos!) And the drinks were original and tasted great. I've been through Post Falls many times and have never found this place. Definitely worth checking out read more

Wonderful foodie place. While not specifically gluten-free, they were very sensitive to my wife's gluten intolerance. I had Twice Fried Chicken Korean BBQ style. Great blend of southern and Asian. My wife had the Blue Burger on a gluten-free bun and a side of their chili. Bread was best gluten-free bun she ever had. They brought out the bag so she could see the supplier. Chili was spicy and delicious. They took the pork bellies off her sandwich because of using a common fryer. They gave them to me as a side dish. Great service. Very Friendly. Several moms and their kids. Good beer selection. Huckleberry Sangria was delicious. read more

Delicious burger with beer cheese garlic fries. Awesome selection of beer and Felicia was the best as our server. Be back! Thanks

Had lunch at Repub with two friends on Black Friday. We all ordered something different and shared. The menu is packed with interesting and creative meal options so choosing was hard. We shared the chicken, monte cristo, and cauliflower tacos. All were super good, and we especially liked the sweet potato salad. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant is inside an old house in Post Falls, so dress warmly when it's cold outside - the restaurant was a bit chilly for us but not too bad. We'll be back. read more
