50 Best American Restaurants near Hayden Lake

“Really great, fresh food. The day I was there it was cold and slightly rainy. They had the fireplace going and I had some tasty red wine with a fresh caesar that they added grilled chicken on top of. The menu is easily adaptable if you're gluten free like me since it's all made-to-order food. The service was good, the food was good, it was all-around a great experience“

“Family Friendly Restaurant, Good portions & Great food.“

“First time eating there today. I like old school breakfasts and this is exactly the type of place I enjoy. I ordered the eggs benedict on the server’s recommendation, very very good. The perfectly poached very large eggs, on shaved ham, with a crispy muffin underneath. The Hollandaise sauce was not home made but was well rendered and tasty. Mmmmm. Potatoes were also perfect.

The thing that makes a simple breakfast exceptional is the attention to detail. The right balance of eggs, meat, sauce and muffin proportions. The muffin cooked to provide a crunch, the ham shaved and grilled perfectly, properly poached eggs and the warm hollandaise in the correct proportion to the aforementioned ingredients.

Here is another important, touch. Properly cooked and grilled country potatoes. These potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside with the right seasoning. Most breakfast restaurants simply don’t get it anywhere near right. Michael D’s knows how to do it!

The other dish I was contemplating was the Irish scramble (will get that next time). I cannot resist corned beef and eggs.

I love the old school decor and location with plenty of parking and easy access from the freeway.

Very friendly, and excellent service. Service so good I felt like I was under-tipping at 35%

Finally, it seemed like everyone knew each other. Regulars, that means consistently happy customers returning frequently. A sign of a good restaurant.“

“Alexis W. was our server- she was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and a joy. She described the Pho perfectly- it was out of this world. She added to our experience no doubt. The food and drinks were top notch. I will be back and look forward to trying their locations in Boise and Eagle!!“

“Great options & customer service!“

“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“

“Absolutely incredible! Great service and some of the best food I've ever had! 5/5 stars!!!!“

“Had Mothers Day brunch there today At age 91 they had everything I needed and wanted - all tasty.“

“Love, love, love! My family and I have nothing but amazing things to say about The Local Deli! First, the staff has always been so wonderfully friendly. We went in today, and even though almost every table was taken, and there was a line practically out the door, the staff was fabulous and friendly. Our sandwiches were made with love and care, to perfection. My husband and I are obsessed with the Rathdrum Club, and my brother loves the Coeur d'Alene. The food has always been fresh and just darn right delicious. The bread alone..OHMYGOSH!🩷🩷😋 They have an array of drinks and snacks too! Oh! And for those who like a beer with their food, they have an awesome selection of local and domestic beer! Absolutely love this place, as do many people in our community! It's worth the wait if there's a line. We'll be back time after time!🥰“

“We love their Eggy Cheesy bake (loaded!!) and cinnamon rolls. Fantastic!“

“Great service , wonderful food“

“Attended with the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce for the Ambassador lunch ... ordered the 3 piece fish and chips. The fish was top knotch. It was crispy yet moist. The service was exceptional considering the size crowd we had. Will definitely be back.“

“Delicious food and awesome atmosphere! Our server was so sweet (I didn’t catch her name) and actually offered to hold our daughter, so we could eat our dinner! I have never been somewhere and had that offered. . .so believe me when I say my jaw hit the floor - fabulous service for sure and we will be back!“

“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!“

“Stellar as ALWAYS! Enjoyed our burgers & scooners… Simple the BEST!“

“Butterscotch Milkshake; yummy“

“Good food, very nice restaurant! I love it is very close to the lake. Definitely good service and I will be back next time I am in CDA.“

“The best food in town. Never disappoints“

“The food, beverages and service at P47 is always fantastic. We recently had a birthday dinner there and the food and staff did not disappoint. Our server, Mike B, was exceptional. We highly recommend P47.“

“Thanks Kip. The yoshi was the perfect recommendation. Fantastic.“

“I really enjoy ordering the fried catfish. My wife enjoys the fried chicken.“

“very great drinks, fun atmosphere, very friendly bar tenders. 👍😁“

“Great venue and best sunset spot with wonderful live music.“

“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.“

“always great service. Alicia was amazing. an A+ server. Westwood always seems to have great servers...which is rare nowadays“

“This was a split decision stop as we were driving through town and I am SO GLAD we did!! It was honestly gorgeous and a really amazing experience!

Views are gorgeous! Our waitress Ella was amazing answering all my questions! And the food was great! I had a tuna melt and their sourdough bread was phenomenal!“

“Ive been here almost 10+ times now and it is my go to spot whenever im hungry. The prices are amazing for what you get. The meat is always perfect, and I never once have had a problem with food or service. The guy who I assume is the owner is always super nice and helpful. They even offer discounts for law enforcement, healthcare, teachers, etc.! A thing most places hide or don’t offer at all. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Great food and service. We will be back“

“Amazing food! Excellent customer service! We will be back! Hats iff to the chef! The Fisher Family“

“We had a great IPA and Apps.
Delicious food, and SO nice to have something a little different (bites and balls). We'll definitely be back.
And thank you for the great conversation
(Tim & Susie, Belize).“

“First timers. If you're not careful, you'll drive right by the little place. We live in Coeur d'Alene and had lunch there yesterday. Oh my! If you like burgers, you MUST try this little place. We had the James Dean burger. Strap yourself in and prepare for something special. It "ain't easy to eat - but it's great! And the fries and onion rings are incredible too. By the way, this little burger pit isn't cheap - but considering how much other hamburgers are in today's crazy world - it was worth it and you'll probably take half of it home for later.“

“I will never forget their roasted corn and pepper soup/chowder for as long as I live. What a delightful atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff, from the moment we walked in until we left it was obvious that the team here cares about all aspects of the guest experience.“

“Great place to hang out. Great good.. comfortable… just like Mom used to make.“

“I LOVE the crab soup and lobster Bisque soups!! it's disappointing that they aren't regularly carried. more often than not, the soups carried are cheddar broccoli and loaded potato intermittently swapped with Tomato. the seafood soups run out in 1 day. you'd think with their popularity that SanFran Eatery would carrier at least 1 of them full time. when in stock, I purchase at least 4 12oz containers. please consider selling these more frequently. it beats buying McDonald's anyday“

“Good food and good service“

“Fantastic food and amazing service. Ate here with our (handful is an understatement) grandchildren. The waitress was wonderful with the grandkids and not only met, but exceeded every expectation of a former server. Thank you so much Alene! Will definitely be back if ever in the area again.“

“28 years since my last meal at Rustlers Roost, somethings never change like the great food, service and atmosphere and did I mention the man himself WOODY!!!“

“It's not really the kind of place you go to dine (although you can).

It's more of a order to go kind of place where the burgers will surprise you!

I've only eaten there once because we were in a hurry and headed out of town, but I was starving from moving and it's where we stopped for gas, so I gave them a shot and the lady back there cooking whipped up our meal to go in no time and it was great!

Parking: It's a busy corner and traffic comes in and out constantly, so if there's no parking 1 minute, something opens up by the time you turn around“

“We always order pizza (which is fantastic), but boy, have we been missing out! Ordered sandwiches this visit and they were beyond outstanding. Literally cannot wait to go back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for people with mobility devices“

“Such a unique burger place, the way burgers are supposed to be done. Every one hand pattied and cooked to order. A very simple menu - burgers, drinks and pie. Surprisingly filling because the food is truly that good. One stop and you will make a regular for sure.“

“Love it GREAT food GREAT service GREAT place to go have some beers and watch sports“

“We were there in August. I had the best grilled cheese I think I have ever had. It was the adult grilled cheese and it was delicious. I wish they would ship me one to Tennessee“

“Sat outside and received amazing service from GAGE. Very knowledgeable about the beers. Found my happy place with a white rascal Belgian. Had a messy burger that was flavorful and messy. I was warned. Nice sitting outside before the sun sets, otherwise there are FIRE PITS and heat lanterns. Otherwise of the restaurant has amazing cocktails- connected by a flight of stairs. Enjoy!“

“Being a Deadhead, I found the decor amazing. I also just retired from MGM Las Vegas food and beverage as a manager and was more than impressed with our server Tabatha! I don't know how many people I have trained in my years of F&B service, but she hit all the points perfectly. From dropping off condiments and extra napkins prior to the meal, to prebussing and upselling she was fabulous! Thank you Capone's and thank you Tabatha for a super Mother's Day!“

“Delicious food my whole family can enjoy. Great atmosphere! The owners and their staff are incredibly welcoming to everyone and little ones! There’s games for every age to enjoy. Always a go to whenever downtown!“

“From the course groundskeeping, the staff and to the restaurant management, my compliments to Coeur d’Alene Public! What a terrific year, this year.“

“every time i come in here i always have a great time! I always ask for Aaron, he always gives me the best time, he’s funny, he’s very positive all the time. definitely a person that can turn a frown upside down. i will definitely be coming here again in the near future.“

“Friday night Prime Rib is not to be missed. Most flavorful prime rib we have ever had! It came with a quality salad, toast and loaded baked potato (with real f'n bacon). All were so good! Britney was our waitress and it was so refreshing to have such a chill down to earth attentive waitress that didn't make you feel like we were inconveniencing her. We don't live around here but next Friday night we are in CDA, we will be back!“

“I love Le Peep so much. The best breakfast and mimosa spot in CDA! The stuffed French toast is to die for and they used to have the Mile High Philly that was AMAZING (and I am really hoping to see it back some day). Every meal is not only tasty but also colorful and beautiful. The location is breathtaking, right on the river and you can eat outside as well. While eating my delicious breakfast or lunch I have seen bald eagles flying over the river multiple times. The experience is magical and the mimosas are served cold and with the freshest orange juice! The Bloody Mary always looks so beautiful and tasty as well if you’re that kind of brunch gal!

Vegetarian options: My vegan friend was very happy with a ton of options that she usually doesn’t have at other restaurants!

Dietary restrictions: Giant gluten-free menu!

Parking: Parking is validated with your license plate inside with the host/hostess.

Kid-friendliness: Great family atmosphere.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps in restaurant, clear path ways and plenty of tables inside and outside.“
