“Enjoyed our visit to Trails End Brewery tonight! The atmosphere was great, the beer selection was great and the food was yummy. The personalized service was wonderful, we will be back!!”
“One of the Top 3 Sushi places in CDA area, definitely recommend stoping here! Great food service and plenty spot for seating. Great location in downtown CDA. Great selection in sushi and appetizers and entrees”
“Everything was Wonderful ALWAYS Everytime we go it's ALWAYS Great service great food and a great time.”
“We were visiting Coeur d’Alene when our host took us to Vine and Olive for dinner. It was a gorgeous night so we sat on the patio. The wine selection was very nice. We selected a Rose that was delicious. We ordered the Caesar salad and it was perfectly dressed, fresh, crispy and very tasty with crumbled croutons on top. It was one of the best Caesars I’ve ever had. We shared the fried squash appetizer and steak and frites. Both were so good. The steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender, fries were fresh cut and the squash and dipping sauce were so good. We shared the S’Mores dessert. It was so creative and really tasty. My favorite part was the toasted marshmallow. The owner was very sweet and we received great service. I would highly recommend dining here.”
“Drummin Up BBQ catered our wedding for 80 people and did a phenomenal job. They delivered a wonderful dinner service including: fresh sliced brisket, pulled pork, deviled egg potato salad, pepper jack mac & cheese, pear almond goat cheese salad, homemade bbq sauce and a charcuterie board for happy hour. Darrel was very professional and had great recommendations. When looking back through our pictures we couldn’t find any of the food because we were too busy enjoying it! Highly recommend!”

“This was our first time to eat at Izzy’s. It was my birthday and they made me feel so special. They even wrote on a chalkboard wishing me a happy birthday. They make you feel like family here. They went above and beyond to meet our needs and it will now be our go to spot for brunch every weekend!”
“Visited Bardenay while celebrating my birthday and based on a friends recommendation decided to try this restaurant. Very nice location (from out of town so perfect spot) menu selection extensive and of course the drink selection was amazing! Our server Sydney, so great, recommended the fish tacos. Being from San Diego, I was not sure if I should go with them, but based on Sydney’s glowing review ordered them. Ended up being some of the best fish tacos I have ever eaten. After dinner walked the small lake, so nice. Had a great dinner and will be back the next time my travels bring me back to this area!”
“A friend recently gave me a container of Sierra Ranch Chili to try. I made chili for the first time and not from a can! Thanks to this seasoning, the process was incredibly easy. The container had all the ingredients listed for easy shopping, and even better, it had a scannable code that took me to a video tutorial that included tips. The chili was a hit with my family! I’m planning to make my next batch and this time I want to add beans. I also added cayenne pepper to give it some heat. If you’re looking for an easy way to make hearty homemade chili, this Sierra Ranch Chili is it!”
“I witnessed something this evening while waiting for our table and I am still thinking about it. We are regular guests at TRH and normally never ever have a problem,it is consistent and that is why we return. After tonight's episode I am not certain I will return and if I didn't have a out of state guest and had waited so long already we'd have left immediately. . My family was waiting for our table and just hanging out by the hostess stand,I witnessed a host drop two butters on the ground,squat down and pick them up,place them on the basket of rolls and proceeded to walk over to a trash can and pick the butters off the rolls,toss just the butters into the trash. I then saw a guest grab her two more butters off the shelf where they keep them,she sat those two on the rolls and took the guests to their table. The issues with this being the butters that fell and she sat on top of the rolls straight off the floor and then a random guest handing her new butters and then serving them. Another guest witnessed this and we both looked at each other like what did we just witness?! I got the attention of another hostess who went and asked the host that dropped the butter who said she didn't,nothing done. I then saw a manager and told him immediately.He asked her and let it go and then I saw him speak to another manager who never did anything as well. Now,why would two guests who witness this just randomly make this up? At the very least one of those managers should've acted quick and removed the rolls from that table and just replaced them. I know without a doubt,100%,what I saw. I am absolutely disgusted and if that happened out in the front of the restaurant what are they allowing in the back? The other guest got seated before we did and as she walked by me she said "I'll be watching my butters and rolls all the way to the table!" Noah and Destinee,when your guest tell you what they witnessed please act quickly and accordingly,this has ruined my view about your Texas Roadhouse.”
“Love this place. My husband is Irish/Scottish heritage. So it’s a big plus. I LIVE their fish and chips. Best place to feed my fish craving!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“This place was top notch! Such a cute and unique experience. We tried a little bit of everything and everything tasted so fresh and sooo good! You can tell they take pride in what the do and what the serve. We will definitely be a regular! The owner is so sweet and personable!”

“WOW! They got everything right. Our family has dined at Cedars twice this year and we've been so impressed. Our waiter was friendly and efficient tonight. All of our food was a cut above. The ingredients at the salad bar are so fresh and flavorful, it had me wondering if the produce was organic. The cooks are working wonders back there. My risotto was heavenly. The atmosphere is so beautiful. Thank you for this special experience. You have exceeded our expectations!!”
“Came with friends who had reserved outdoor igloo seating. The igloo was very well appointed (heaters, BT speakers, lap blankets) so we were very comfortable. Our server was a delight even with the added complexities that igloo service creates. Appetizers were great, entrees, good enough. Overall, really enjoyed our visit.”
“All you can eat meat on skewers. It's brought to the table & sliced right in front of you until you say uncle. Awesome 👌 salad 🥗 bar with killer cheese bread bites. Don't forget the fried plantain and bananas¡”
“First time here and it was lovely! The service was perfect and the cocktails were just amazing. Loved the lighting and the overall vibe. Can't wait to come again!”

“Please read all the way to the end. I recommend Dennys. Disgusted by the absolutely most racist thing I've heard today at Dennys. Roughly around 2:30AM PT. We were eating due to the fact I skipped out on dinner unintentionally spending time with our baby in the nicu at the hospital. Sitting at our table about ready to leave and there were 3 people a woman sitting next to a man in red and black plaid shirt, with another man in a white shirt, both men wearing hats. Can you guess the color of their skin??? Any takers. Well they were all white if you didn't guess right. That being said the server that took care of us approached the table behind me to be met with a question "are you from here" and later being told "you look like one of those sand n-word to me". Not only did this server get treated so poorly he did not tell anyone else he was around. When I told an employee, I was told they had no power to ask them to leave, absolutely ridiculous, nobody should be rewarded for that kind of cruel comment or behavior. Yet here we are in North Idaho where cruelty is okay and racist comments are rewarded. To those absolutely horrible individuals I hope you have the worst karma for the rest of your life. To our server! Proud of your ability to keep moving forward even with people being cruel for no reason.”
“I went through the drive-thru tonight around 6:00 p.m. for the Jack in the box on Ramsey they were the most efficient drive-thru that I have been through yet the gentleman taking my orders intending to drive through was so nice very professional customer service was outstanding I would definitely recommend and I will return for sure”
“Loved the 2 for $3.00 Monster Tacos! I could survive on JiB tacos!
In a world where Bidenomics is jackin the price up on shrinking portions, JiB is keeping the portions big, yeah, they are keeping up on rising prices, but still full sized burgers, fries, tacos, and now have brought back the Monster Tacos!
JiB, please open a JiB in Kalispell, Montana! We need and want you!”
“Had dinner after the sandpoint ren faire, with my fiance and kids. Cat was our waitress and she was amazing. Interacted with the kids, taught my daughter how to crack crab legs and crawdads. friendly, helpfully, overall amazing service. food was great too.”

“Raw Dead Fish is SO good! The best sushi! Sometimes I try other places because of hours or convenience… but it never fails… I miss RDF when I do. Their sushi is generously proportioned, excellent quality and firmness and freshness! And the service is always the best! They go out of the way to make sure my order is gluten free (not cross contaminated) and so delicious!!!”
“There is so much I love about Edgy Veggie! When I first heard there was going to be a salad food truck in town and that I could drive through and get a salad, that was exciting in and of itself. Then there are the salads and bowls and soups themselves - absolutely delicious with fun combinations I would never think of on my own, generous portions, fresh ingredients, and consistency that gives me confidence that it will always be exactly what I wanted. Maybe the most impressive part though is the staff. You can tell that they all take pride in the food, they are so friendly, and the customer service is next level. I can’t think of any other place I frequent where they actually know my name. I recently had a mixup with DoorDash, which led to a salad sitting in the hot sun for an hour and a half, and the wonderful folks at Edgy Veggie went out of their way to make it right, even though it wasn’t their error. I love this place so much and if you go, you’ll see why!”

“Absolutely delicious pizza every visit! The crust is fresh and perfectly baked, and the toppings are generous and flavorful. Service is quick, and the team is friendly and attentive. The overall experience is always enjoyable. A great place to satisfy your pizza cravings.”
“As someone with celiac, we took a risk in eating here. I called ahead to ask if there were options for me and I was told that everything is made from scratch and is gluten free except for the obvious items (mac and cheese, buns, and whatnot). I got the baker deluxe minus the mac and my only regret is not being able to eat the whole thing. I told them I’m celiac and they took extra care not to touch any gluten before prepping my meal and bagged it separately”
“My husband and I ate at jimmys down the street this morning. I’ve never been here so I’ve been wanting to try it but never have the time and this morning I did. What a great little hole in the wall as it’s called. I didn’t get our waitresses name but she was great. I had the veggie Benedict it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the all American and again it was delicious. Being a waitress myself at Tito’s Italian grill and wine shop down the street I highly recommend this place. Great food and great service. Customers are always asking me a good breakfast place now I can say I’ve been there and highly recommend. So thank you to the cooks and staff.”
“The cinnamon rolls, scone and coffee were amazing. We are visiting from Arizona and Montana for a family reunion. We found this gem by accident and are so glad we did. Not only was the food amazing but the owners are very efficient, friendly and inviting. Be sure to try this place.”
“Absolutely my favorite place to get breakfast in town. All the mom and pop vibes, and I seriously don’t think there is anywhere else in town you can get as much food for the price. Super duper tasty, without fail every time. The service is great, food is delivered quickly and everyone is on top of things. Highly recommend stopping in!!! Not pictured are the eggs I demolished. 10/10”
“Just finishing my beef burrito with guacamole. Prices are affordable. Burrito is large. With plenty of meat My favorite part- its loading with guacamole. It’s not just a dab like a lot of places. I had a bit with almost every bite. I’ll be bringing my husband next time!”
“stuffed mushrooms, Lasagna, manascotti(seasonal special), and spaghetti with meatballs were all amazing! Best Italian I have had. The lemon bar and carmel brownie were also very excellent! My dad doesnt usually like lemon amd he preferred them over the caramel brownie. Our server Scott was phenomenal. Very attentive and had excellent customer service. Nice atmosphere and family friendly. Celebrated my birthday here and they had a card and birthday sash for me. 100% recommend coming here for special celebrations, date night or just a quiet dinner.”
“Brent was arguably the best server I’ve ever had, we had a group larger than the facility should’ve accepted and he did not bat an eye. The service was top notch and the food was better, I hope I can make it back to this place again in the future.”
“I just love this place. 1st off I must say the ppl are incredibly sweet and charming and I've never felt more hospitality at a restaurant in Spokane. This is the best Thai food I've found since my actual time in Thailand and it's one of my safe places as a non meat eater 😁 I am greatful for the extra veggie option in place of protein in many of the dishes and they are very generous. Today I ordered the Tom Yum soup with "mixed veggies" and I know this is just what I need to kick this nasty cold I have out of my system. Greatful my wifey hooked us up today, and greatful for this bomb food! 👌🏻”

“We’ve ordered from here quite a few times. (Only stopped because we moved away temporarily) It’s always fresh, consistent, delish and filling. You get a lot of food for reasonable prices. Everyone working clearly enjoys being there. It’s your perfect mom and pop type shop. The vibes are always the best! Glad to be back home! Can’t wait to visit more and more”
“Are you kidding me!!!! This is the coolest place, with the best pizza!!!! I love coming here for dinner and some live music! Everytime I have stepped foot in the door I am created with such kindness by the whole staff! Ben specifically has been such a doll! Highly recommend checking them out if youre in the CDA area!!!”
“Well maintained facility with a great staff and amazing views. An experience of a lifetime that I highly recommend.”

“We ended up stopping by this last Saturday and the owner saw there was a bit of a line and immediately washed up and helped us with samples and then he scooped us some of the best ice cream we have had in town. Our experience was great and we will definitely be returning. Thank you.”
“Unbelievably delicious. I have tried almost all of the curries and all of the sushi rolls and I have yet to have one that isn't amazing. The crew working the truck is always super friendly and helpful, and they're very timely with getting orders done and out the window to you. Highly recommend!”
“The owner of the Valley/CDA Carusos, Jesse, was so amazing to work with in the months leading up to our wedding. He checked in regularly, promptly answered questions, and was very organized. Our guests really enjoyed the food and there was enough for guests to get seconds and even have some left over at the end of the night! Jesse and his wife maintained the buffet for our event, and his wife even came over to let me know my favorite pizza was going quick and offered to bring me some! We are so happy we chose Carusos!”
“What a great dining experience. From the food to the service. My waitress Morgan was so knowledgeable and attentive. We were able to converse with the Chief and what a humble man he was. The restaurant was so clean and the food was hot and delicious! Can’t wait to bring back our friends and family.”
“Jeremiah Johnson Brewery hosted our family for Bingo nights in November. Our daughter was born with a rare congenital heart defect. The kindness that was shared by their staff was incredible and we were so honored they hosted a fundraiser for our sweetheart. Their Tuesday Bingo nights are a fun night out for the whole family. Each of our family members from toddler-40 had a blast. We loved the atmosphere, apps, beers, funny jokes, and family environment. It’s hard to find something we all enjoy and Bingo night was a blast! Thank you! Ps Bingo nights have great prizes too!”

Our server was a delight even with the added complexities that igloo service creates. Appetizers were great, entrees, good enough. Overall, really enjoyed our visit.”
“This was my second time at El Jefe’s and it was just as great as the first. The food and service were both amazing.
I ordered the queso fries topped with steak and they were seriously delicious. The fries were loaded with queso, amazing pickled onions, to die for cucumber pico, and the steak on top was super tender and full of flavor. Everything came out hot and fresh. I also had the churro fries, which were perfectly crispy and coated in cinnamon sugar — such a good dessert.
The staff was really friendly and welcoming, and the service was great the whole time. You can tell they take pride in the food they’re serving.
Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food and a great atmosphere, El Jefe’s is absolutely more than worth checking out.
First visit-
El Jefe’s is easily one of the top spots in Coeur d’Alene. The food is consistently fresh and packed with flavor, with a richness you won’t find everywhere. One of the coolest things is that they mainly cook with beef tallow, which makes everything taste incredible and doesn’t leave you feeling bad after fried foods. The tacos are especially outstanding, and the portions hit that perfect balance of being generous without going overboard.
The vibe is lively yet relaxed, and the service is always quick and friendly. You never feel rushed, but you’re never left waiting either.
I’m really looking forward to their new location—if it’s anything like the current one, it’s going to be a must-visit. Whether you’re local or just passing through, El Jefes is the kind of place you try once and immediately start planning your next trip.”
“This Georgia girl fell madly in love tonight and walked out with a belly full!! oh my lord this place was good!! the live music was perfect and loved celebrating the 4th of July with bbq done right!! it's so hard to find BBQ like this in the pacific northwest. we'll be back again!”

“Red Robin has been our "go-to" for years, especially for take-out. We live 45 miles south of Coeur d'Alene, and there really isn't much by way of restaurants, so we enjoy it when my husband can pick up dinner after work and bring it home. Today that was our plan, and that's what we did. But we were very disappointed when they wouldn't let us have my free "birthday burger" unless we dined in the restaurant. I don't get it -- how hard could it be to give a free burger to go instead of waiting on us inside the restaurant? Small thing maybe, but very disappointing. We won't be getting my "free" burger now, because I pretty much never go to Coeur d'Alene. I think Red Robin just lost our business.”
“Our family of seven, including a 4 year old, dropped in the evening of December 23rd coming from Spokane. We were not expecting anything fancy and that's what we got -- and it was great. We didn't have a reservation and we only had to wait 10 minutes. The atmosphere was good and service was great -- especially our server. Sorry we didn't remember her name.”

“Best greek food I've ever had! The specialty plates with a side of tzatziki hummus or feta cheese dip with the pita that it's served with 10/10! Or would recommend the souvlaki sandwich if you prefer it wrapped up like a gyro with the same meat from the plate absolutely delicious! Don't miss checking this place out excellent service as well! Very friendly wait staff! Everything is made fresh from the owners of 20 years if they have rice pudding or the honey lemon cake make sure to try it's OUTSTANDING!”
“What a great dining experience. From the food to the service. My waitress Morgan was so knowledgeable and attentive. We were able to converse with the Chief and what a humble man he was. The restaurant was so clean and the food was hot and delicious! Can’t wait to bring back our friends and family.”
“Best service ever. Thank you Lindsay! I would’ve been happy with the five inch because the eight was leftovers. Blows Subway out of the water! Naked fries were crispy like I prefer them. We’d never been there before and the staff explained everything to us. I don’t live in cda but will be back next time over!!!”
“GOOD GRACIOUS - My taste buds are ENTIRELY Blown AWAY!! I stumbled upon this adorable little place while on a walk and left with cinnamon rolls, scones, and coffee cake. These baked goods are SUPERIOR to every single bakery /coffee shop in CDA. I kid you NOT!! The shop itself is inviting, chic, yet cozy! The family running the place is so cute I wanted to put them in my pocket and take them with me :-) I'm telling everyone I know to check out this smashing little spot!! YUM and YUM again!!!”

“We were in Idaho on vacation, it was recommended that we try Crafted Tap House. The staff was fantastic, both the front staff but the kitchen staff were amazing. The atmosphere was really good. But the food was really out of this world. I highly recommend this place to anyone! I not only speak as a customer but also as a former chef. They get 5 stars from me!”
“I hosted a Galentines event with 60 ladies. We wanted a brunch theme so I immediately thought of Le Peep. I reached out and worked with David. He was wonderful in guiding me through and helping me determine the amount of food needed. I picked it up and the staff helped load it all - plates and eating utensils as well. A great experience and look forward to supporting them more in the future!”

“We went with a large group, eleven to be exact. It was New Year's Day (dinner). The restaurant was busy. All the staff was friendly and professional. They seated us within a reasonable amount of time, within 30 minutes. For the most part the food was good. The lasagna was dry and a very small portion. The soup, salad, and bread was good and plentiful. The bread was hot and fresh!! We had 2 waiters. The one gentleman was amazing...he was ON!! He was the older of the 2. The other one was good just not as spot on. The restaurant went out of their way to seat the kids together and serve them, they treated the kids special. All in all it was a nice time. Except for the lasagna we would do it again.”

“I don’t get that excited about eating out anymore. Everything is expensive and the food is usually ok. Let me tell you, this place is worth every penny! Absolutely delicious! Thanks madd chicken for giving me a place I’m excited about eating out again. Can’t wait to come back.”
“I love places like this that are starting to spring up. We need more of them - more healthy, quick, affordable options. The staff was so super friendly, and I loved the Honey Siracha Chicken bowl I ordered. I’d love to see a couple vegetarian options here at some point.
I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!”
“I recently tried the Monte Cristo Croissant at Alani Bakery, and it was absolutely delicious! The perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a flaky, buttery croissant that melts in your mouth. This is hands-down one of the best treats I’ve had in a long time. I love this bakery, not just for their amazing pastries, but also for the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owners are incredible people who clearly care about quality and their customers. If you haven’t been to Alani Bakery yet, you’re missing out. I highly recommend stopping by, you won’t regret it!! 5/5 stars.”
“Some of the best coffee and matcha I’ve ever had. Amazing service and beautiful location. Baristas were friendly and helpful! With the fancy drink ware, all house-made syrups, and variety of roasts available, it’s clear that quality is a priority here. Will definitely come back!”

“I had such a great experience at Relic Speakeasy! The vibe and atmosphere are incredibly cool — it’s one of those places that immediately feels unique and thoughtfully designed. You can really tell the owners have a strong vision for what they’re creating.
The service was awesome from start to finish, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I’m already looking forward to coming back to try more of their wine and beer selection, and I’m especially excited for high tea. The menu looked absolutely fabulous too — everything sounded delicious.
Such a fun and special spot in CDA — definitely worth a visit!”
“Very good, nice atmosphere and food, we had a large group, but we're able to spread out to 3 different tables, they do have 1 large table, but ideally the place is most practical for smaller groups. However, with that being said the staff did a very good job accommodating us!”
“Incredible Crab-Crusted Salmon!
I came here with the whole fam. The sides were just ok, but the entrees were incredible! I don’t think I’ve ever tasted a more delicious salmon in my life! The pesto chicken was phenomenal as well, incredibly juicy and my mouth waters just thinking about it. Definitely would go back, even though it’s kind of a while in the wall bar feel.”

After dinner walked the small lake, so nice. Had a great dinner and will be back the next time my travels bring me back to this area!”
