Let me get my complaint out of the way up front, so I can spend most of my time talking about the good stuff: The food came out way too slow. The appetizers came quick, but we were waiting on the meals for a while. Now, with that being said, the servers were always attentive to our drinks, the appetizers were darn good, and my burger, when I got it, was hot and juicy. Think juices dripping off your fingers and you're licking them clean because it tastes so good. Plenty of different beers on tap. TVs playing but the volume is down so you can have a conversation with people. If the meals had come out quicker, I would give it five stars. read more

We used to love it here, but the menu and I believe the kitchen staff changed. Overall food is mid, service was slow because they were severely understaffed. Vibes are nice as long as you are okay with just having a drink and waiting a bit. read more

I hadn't eaten here since 2015, and unfortunately, my recent visit was a huge disappointment. What happened to this place? My wife, mother-in-law, and I came specifically for the elk burgers and all ordered them medium rare - because that's how elk should be cooked for proper flavor. When the burgers arrived, we cut them in half and discovered that every single one was well done. Not one was prepared correctly. Either they were pre-cooked and reheated, or the kitchen simply didn't care. When our server checked in, we explained the issue and said we'd prefer not to eat them. She called the manager over, and that's when things got worse. To his credit, he offered to have the kitchen remake them, but knowing how kitchens react when an entire table sends food back, we declined. Then he held up the burger and claimed, "When burgers are thin, it's hard to cook them correctly." The problem? These burgers were clearly not thin...which I pointed out to him. Finally, he stormed off saying, "Fine - this is on me then, and we won't charge you." Charge us? Really? As if that was even an option after serving three inedible meals. We left and went to another spot up the street that knows how to cook a proper medium-rare burger. read more

Disappointed in the service and quality of some of the Thursday Chicken dinner sides. Waiter was the bartender and he was not attentive. Did not wait on us for over 10 minutes, asked for water which was delayed, requested extra biscuits never received. Was served by waiters from Titos restaurants who missed some of our Chicken dinner order sides as they were getting cold on table nearby. Mashed potatoes were not edible-Tasted like out of a box. On upside the fried chicken was tasty and freshly cooked. You need to improve the service, having employees have to go back and forth from Titos is not ideal and creates poor service for the customers. read more

We had a very frustrating experience at this restaurant. After being seated, we waited an unreasonably long time for our food--and watched five other parties who arrived after us get their meals first. It felt like we were completely forgotten. To make matters worse, our server never once came back to check on us or refill our drinks during the long wait. We had to flag someone down just to ask about our order. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because, after we complained, the restaurant comped our meal. We appreciated that gesture, but honestly, the evening was already soured by the slow, inattentive service. We won't be returning. read more

This was my second visit to this business. I arrived between 5 and 6. The place was crowded. Seemed the only seat was at the bar. A number of employees were pacing back and forth behind the bar. After sitting there for ten minutes I asked an employee what s man had to do to get service. He replied something about how busy they were, but I didn't see him do anything. He talked to the woman that was to be my server. I gave my drink order. She poured my beer. The man that didn't seem to be doing anything got me a glass of water. I inquired how long the wait was for food. She replied with excuses why it might take a while, asked what I wanted. I replied a pizza. She said those took the longest... but she would check. She reported about 20 minutes, a not unreasonable amount of time. I ordered. A kitchen staff member delivered my pizza. It looked good and tasted good. Toppings were a bit on the skimpy side. By this time most of the tables had cleared as did most of the bar. Like I said a kitchen staff person delivered my pizza. No plate... no silver... no napkins! No question, "can I get you anything else?" Soon my beer was empty. Still not a single employee asked how I was doing. Then finally she asked if I wanted another beverage. In all fairness she seemed to be the busiest waitress/ bartender. Finished my dinner and my beer. A second waitress asked if I wanted more water... finally after a long time with pizza gone and beer gone, after sitting there with my wallet in hands on top the mostly empty bar she asked if I was ready to close out. Oh and the pizza, well the crust was not fresh made, that was a big disappointment. Service in my opinion was miserable. Edited to add: upon reading the comment below by Cortney I sent the email requested. As of 6-20-25 @10:20 am I have not heard a peep from them. My guess is they care far more to show that they care than to actually do anything to demonstrate that they care. In my opinion this is a bigger customer service failure than the poor service during my visit. This time they want you to believe that they are doing something about the issue. I 100% do not recommend this restaurant or the larger group of businesses under the same management. read more

Taphouse Unchained - Italian Pizza - American Near Me - Coeur D'alene, Idaho

This place was very mid. The cheese curds were good and had a good chipotle ranch. They were crunchy and tasted like a cheese curd. Maybe not as squeaky. The pretzels were good. Salted very unevenly. The cheese sauce wasn't a sauce. It was coagulated and thick. It tasted ok though. The Mediterranean pizza. Oh man. We had three slices. I ate one and my friend ate two out of the 8 slices or so. No flavor. All we really tasted was the pesto base of the pizza. The other flavors didn't come through at all. Even the feta cheese on the pizza didn't have much flavor. The refill of soda I got was warm. The ice didn't even make it cold. The menu is on a tablet. That is pretty handy. Would I come here again? That's a hard no. I think the food comes from Tito's Italian grill right across the way. read more

We just wanted a quick bite at 3pm, ordered a salad and bread. 40 minutes for the salad, bread about 10 after that. Really? Wish I would have checked Yelp, 2.9 stars would have kept us walking. read more

The place was not very busy and yet it took 10 minutes to get a menu. Another 25 minutes to get our drinks. 45 minutes to get our dinner which tasted as if it had been sitting on the counter waiting for someone to deliver it. The appetizer of steamed clams came out with our meal and was also cold. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Very over priced for horrible service and cold food. Will not be going back. Wasted over 100 dollars for nothing. read more

Arrived and sat at the bar. 4 young ladies were deeply chatting away and nobody looked up to assist us. Another young lady walked by and saw us and kept walking. We grabbed our own menus and was trying to get someone's attention but the 3 young ladies working the bar were talking away ignoring us. After sitting and waiting to get a beer while sitting at the bar, we left. The 3 girls still deep in conversation. read more

Thank you so much to Kim! She was so accommodating and nice to us. The food and drinks were great!! Love it here and happy to come back!

Great location right at the lake end of Sherman street. We sat close to the opening to the outside seating (rather than out on the sidewalk) to limit road noise and it was perfect because we could hear the restaurant's music playing as well as take in the outdoor experience. Service was very quick and servers were friendly. Menus were iPads which was a nice touch, allowing you to click on each menu item and explore for more details. The bicycle theme was perfect for us as we came in from our of town and had just done a bike ride on the Centennial Trail before dinner. We had calamari as an appetizer, which I thought was great but my wife found a bit bland. Dipping sauces added much flavor. We had the mushroom pizza which was delicious and worth every penny. We also split the pear gorgonzola salad ($19) with grilled salmon on top (additional $16) which was quite pricey but after having this same combination at a fine restaurant in Spokane last night, offered an interesting comparison. T. Unchained offered MUCH bigger portions, Salmon cooked and spiced to perfection, and a delicious vinagrette. I felt it was worth it for a nice meal in a great location like this, beating last night's meal hands down. read more

I only gave 4 because there is always room for improvement. However, my husband and I came to this place during the bars PAR courses which is fun to see! Their pizza was delicious, we had a lovely waitress, the drinks are tasty! The tables were a little sticky but that's about it! It's a pub though! What can one expect! I would definitely recommend. read more

Late night drinks on July 3rd! Even got a special beverage (50/50 white peach & strawberry rhubarb cider).

Garlic fries, honey siracha pepperoni pizza and bacon Mac and cheese were amazing! Place was great, not too busy or overpriced. Think the pizza was $15 and it's pretty large. Will definitely come back for that pizza. read more

They were able to accommodate our large party of 12. The food was good- service was decent. I would come back and try it again another time. I had the tap house burger and it was cooked well and the fries were tasty. read more

This place is ok, nothing to complain about, but nothing memorable either. I had the spaghetti bolognese and it was OK.

Poor service is likely due to the fact that there was only one waitress at first. Additional workers arrived but my friends ordered a tuna melt at 12:40 pm and it's now 1:34 and there is no Tuna Melt on the horizon. It was told to us that it would be off the check; however it's now been nearly an hour and "it's being checked on" Is simply not going to cut it. Another 3 folks from our trip arrived after us and we combined tables (but ordered the food before they even arrived) and the 3 some received ate, and paid for their food before the "tuna melt" arrived. The tuna melt was cold, the cheese was not melted, the order asked for tots, not french fries. And it was basically over an hour of wasted time. Also why can I pick a beer from the fridge, but it takes 15 mins to get to my table? Y'all need to review the SOPs cuz something is a miss. One star would not recommend. Update: they comped our meal and drinks. 3/5 stars. read more

We stopped by for a beer and didn't even receive a menu, had no idea they served food. We sat at the bar in front of 5 servers who gossiped and never offered us a refill, or water. They even broke a glass in their ice tray and didn't dump all the ice out. Cool spot but would NEVER come back again. read more

Unusual beer selection (15 of 10) though unusually bad service (2 of 10; had to ask--repeatedly--for service)

Came with a party of 4 on a Thursday night. Restaurant was pretty empty - located in downtown cda. Service was pretty slow overall. Our party ordered the pretzel bites, Mac & cheese, and burgers. We also ordered an assortment of cocktails. I was sorta shocked when I received the bill and it was $150. The food was ok - I finished my burger but I was literally starving. Nothing to write home about - the rest of our table only ate half of their entrees and didnt take their leftovers home. It was ok and we had a good time but the price and quality just don't match up. I wouldn't come back. read more

Thought it was a pretty cool spot after a lake day, but guess not! The server did not introduce himself and also it TOOK AN HOUR AND HALF for our food to get on the table which we thought was RIDICULOUS! Especially it was not a full house! During our waiting time, there was no servers stopped by checking on us or ask us if we wanted for refills. Most ridiculously, we still did not have any silverwares when we finally got our food! Food was pretty mid too, overpriced and waste of time! read more

There's a new sheriff in town. This place hired a new manager. He's turned the place around. Specifically, the beer selection is vastly better, both on tap and bottle section. I'm having a Trois Pistols. Nobody has obscur great beer like that elsewhere in the area. Only had snacks, but the improvement is exponential. read more

Service is nice. Found out the burger patties come frozen. The fries taste gamey because they put the fries by the goat cheese. If you're sensitive to that game flavor (sheep, goat, etc.) you might wonder why the fries taste off. Well that's why. The burger made me sick. Halfway through eating i got a stomachache. Burger undercooked. So. Won't be returning for the food. Ever. Maybe a beer to watch the game and hang out with friends. read more

I never like to give bad reviews, but sometimes the truth hurts. This place isn't the worst but there is a lot of room for improvement in the food. However, let me say this, it did come out super fast!!! I ordered the tuna melt which I thought would be a nice warm sandwich on a cold October day. The bread was burnt and the tuna and cheese were cold. It was not great and it is simple so it could have been better with just a little more time and attention. The burger was a burger so not much to say about it. When we were there on Sunday afternoon the place was dead, so it should have been better. Waitress was nice and helpful with all the beer on tap. Hopefully they can work on the food so it doesn't seem so store bought and thrown together. read more

Experienced this place because of participating in the Mac N'Cheese Festival at the resort. What a unique little spot. We only tried the Mac'N Cheese (which is on their regular menu as well) and it was great. The dish we had was the buffalo mac n ' cheese which wasn't very spicy and had just enough tang. Literally, just the way I like it. I would go back and enjoy this meal and a good local brew. Service was friendly as well. I think I shall return ;) read more

Decent spot. Service is a bit slow, especially for a Saturday night when they aren't full. But food was pretty good and a fun upbeat atmosphere. read more

The place feels amazing. It really does, that is, until the staff ignores you continuously. This has now happened three times in a row, which makes it our last. The service is beyond ridiculous. Fifteen minutes of waiting at the bar, with nobody else sitting at the bar, tells me you do not want my money. They were fully staffed. read more

Ok.....beers....cold and refreshing. The service was a tad slow but the 1/2 Ironman was going on so then there's that. Had some homemade chips and this yummy ranch bacon dip. The tuna melt took a while but it was awesome!!!! My server rocked. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Stumbled onto Taphouse Unchained while checking out the Coeur d'Alene resort area. The bike themed space is pretty cool and something I hadn't seen before. The restaurant is large with big doors that open onto the sidewalk. Great for people watching. The decent tap list was not printed for the customers. But, there were large TV's with the day's selections and they were on Untapped, so I could checkout the beers from the App. We had a couple of snacks which were pretty good. read more

Had the wings , garlic fries , and boat chips . All were tasty . Once again.. service is not good. Went to bar to order a beer . Girl behind bar complaining she can't leave cuz her table won't leave . Ok, I got my beer and charged to my table . Hanging with date , waiting for them to take order... waiting ... waiting .. Finally went to to group of employed jaw-jacking behind bar . Asked politely if anyone would be taking out order . Our waiter piped up say, sorry , I am Having a bad day . We ordered our meal. He came back and said there was a wedding group and that it would be a 30 minute wait for our food. Mind you, the place is still empty. We did get our order less than 30 minutes and it was tasty.

The food was very good but the service not so much we did not get to see the waiter that often.

Friendly staff and great food, even when busy they do a good job at balancing everything and making sure food come outs and get everything you ordered. Good beer selection as well. read more

Great outdoor seating area where doggies are allowed. The waiter was quick to greet us and get a bowl of water for our worn out doggie. Our drinks came out fairly quickly. My husband had a beer from their pretty decent selection while I had a refreshing gin drink. So they have a full bar, which can often times be hard to get a liquor license for in Idaho. Wonderful atmosphere, as the outdoor seating area is right on the main strip, so you can people watch for quite awhile. When it is warm outside, they have the garage like doors opening into the indoor area, so your gonna get flies. This place is right next to the resort shops, so there is a lot to do in this area. Our burgers only took about 10-15 to get out to us and they were very tasty! The outside has a nice bit of char but without drying out. Very much enjoyed these well seasoned burgers. Fries were crispy and well seasoned as well. Will definitely return to try out some of their other options that looked good. read more

Holy smokes my girl and I were really expecting this place to be really good... not so much, probably worst service I've ever had, they just forgot the appetizer completely then brought it out after the food finally came out 30 minutes later, forgot the side salad as well so they brought out the saddest ceaser salad I've ever seen basically for desert. Never asked us for a second drink. As for the food ribs were ok, chicken in the "Buffalo chicken Mac" was absolutely frozen strips and lacked any different taste and color from the normal Mac and cheese. Has a lot of potential but damn, now hoping I'm able to find a server for my check read more

Perfect. I will recommend to all my contacts. The young waiter at the bar is very friendly, fast and efficient. read more

Taphouse Unchained - Pizza margarita - American Near Me - Coeur D'alene, Idaho

We came for lunch on a warm Sunday hoping for a cold beer and some yummy bar-style food. I always take into consideration that anyone working in the service industry these days are working HARD and with little support. It's easy to take a check without getting off the couch. The woman who served us was clearly exhausted. She was sweating, running around, and overall just didn't seem happy to be there. She very quickly asked for our food order when we hadn't yet had a chance to look at the menu. When we finally did get a chance to order, we waited quite a while for the food. It arrived and most was correct, except for one meal she failed to put into the system correctly (of course it was the kid's meal). In addition, we had ordered an appetizer that made it's way to us after our meals had already been at the table for quite some time (and was honestly, some of the worst pretzel bites I've ever encountered). I can see how this place would be fun and well run with enough staff, but with little staff, and those that are there exhausted, it wasn't a great experience. I hope they can get what they need to function more effectively soon! read more

Their food is great, their staff is sweet. The chef is so kind. Just a little overpriced.
