Was headed into Montana, hungry, looking for some good food around. Saw this highly rated BBQ place…read moreand decided to give it a try. It's such a cute spot and decorated so nicely. Owners were super nice and friendly. We ordered the Brisket Sandwich and Loaded Potato (with chicken). Both items were soooo good and made me full! Glad I got to give this place a try and you should too if you like BBQ!

Best lunch in the county. Hands down! I've had the Loaded Bullets, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Brisket,…read moreFlat Bread, Loaded Baked Potato, Pizza, ....but not all at once, mind you! I'm slowly working my way through their menu. The problem is, each menu item I order becomes my new favorite! The atmosphere is top-notch for a BBQ joint and their consistent, friendly service makes it the best place around! If you haven't tried it yet, put it on your must-do list! You will definitely go back.

When we first moved to this area a few years ago, Joe's was our go to after a day swimming and…read morecatching sun out on City Beach. It's roughly walking distance from the beach (maybe a brisk quarter mile or so from the sand), and is THE best kept secret in downtown Sandpoint. This place defines "hole in the wall" restaurant, and even if you're on foot, if you blink at the wrong moment, you'd likely miss it. Don't do that. This place is excellent. I've never been to Philadelphia, so I can't say with any accuracy or certainty how Joe's sandwiches hold up to the real deals, but I will say that the sandwiches and their burgers are indeed the Real Deal. Their sandwiches come in 8" and 12" lengths and burgers from 1-2 quarter pound patties. They have a fairly standard soda fountain equipped with Pepsi product, a few bottled beverages, and a mindblowing milk shake menu. A few years ago they even offered a buffalo sauce flavored milk shake. Full stop. Anyway, I can attest that their huckleberry shake and Hershey's chocolate malt are out of this world awesome. My wife and I went here for date night last night, our first time in in quite some time. Service was very friendly and attentive, and everything was made to order. Whereas I've usually gone for the Philly cheese steak or French dip, this time I did the bacon burger with pepper jack (they have a good variety of cheese available, I should add) and left with zero regrets. My wife did the standard cheeseburger with everything and we split a side of onion rings which were ambrosial (delicious, amazing, what have you). Parking can be a little iffy, but there are some spots on the street right out front. Worst case scenario, they're a very short walking distance from the big (free) public parking lot on Church street, which is where I parked. You might even need the walk if you're eating there. Inside seating is limited, but clean and comfortable. The AC wasn't the greatest, and I can't imagine the heat from the kitchen does the interior temps any favors. My wife and I rarely if ever get a date night anymore, so the whole thing was a great treat, and something I'd gladly do again anytime. Highly, highly recommended.

On this trip to Sandpoint, we decided to visit some new spots. Baxters on Cedar looked promising,…read moreso, we gave it a whirl. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. They do not serve hard liquor at the bar, just beer and wine. We had a couple champagne flutes and perused the menu. Our appetizer was a clam and mussel combo in broth. It looked so good we attacked it before getting a photo (as you'll see). Our main course was the steak plate, which was done to perfection. Dessert was a slice of in-house made pumpkin spice pie. We both liked "Hydra", another steak place in town. The food here was a cut above. Everything from staff to food preparation had a warm personal touch. GO!

Just very bland and average at best. And the kids meals were ridiculous. A four inch long grilled strip of chicken with a small bag of potato chips was $8, and didn't taste good at all, and the kids grilled cheese was horrible, my daughter couldn't even eat it, so I tried it and it was beyond crap, so bland and tasteless, and again $8. We're a family of six so just the kids dinner alone was $32 for crap food. I probably won't go back.
