“Creative sandwiches, bold flavors, and a local vibe that keeps you coming back”

Hot Sandeez is one of those small-town surprises that completely overdelivers. It shares space with The Drinky Box, but make no mistake — the food here stands entirely on its own. The menu is packed with inventive sandwiches that hit that perfect middle ground between comfort food and chef-level creativity.

I ordered one of their signature melts, and it was outstanding — toasted golden on the outside, perfectly layered inside, and loaded with flavor. Every bite had that satisfying crunch from the bread and the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and protein. You can tell everything’s made fresh, not pulled from a prep line. Even the fries were top-tier — crispy, seasoned, and clearly made with care instead of just dropped from a bag.

Service was fast and genuinely friendly. The staff have great energy, joke with regulars, and make newcomers feel like they’ve been there before. The kitchen moves efficiently even when the bar crowd or lunch rush kicks in, and the food always comes out hot.

The atmosphere adds to the experience — casual, lively, and authentically local. It’s a great place to grab lunch, meet up with friends, or just hang out and enjoy good food with zero pretense.

If you’re in Clarkston, Hot Sandeez deserves a spot high on your list. It’s creative, consistent, and easily one of the best sandwich spots in the valley.“

“Great staff and customer service, always very nice with very few mistakes, but always quick to correct. I've gone to both the Lewiston and Clarkston locations and they're always very clean. I go to the Clarkston location mostly now because I'm closer to it, and the staff is always so friendly! It's pretty fast, sometimes it's a bit of a wait because of big orders and longer lines, but for the most part it's quick. I don't review places mostly cause I feel they've already got a big following, but these places deserve love for the people who run it daily, and the quality of food they provide. Great job!“

“I get the Frenchie burger every time and it literally has never disappointed. It’s always the first thing gone off the plate. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!“

“I highly recommend their accommodations and dinning room. I eat their frequently and enjoy the experience.“

“Clean, fast, and well-run — everything a McDonald’s should be”

This McDonald’s consistently does things right. Whether you’re going through the drive-thru or dining in, the operation runs efficiently and the staff keep things moving smoothly. Orders are almost always accurate, food comes out hot, and the service has that friendly small-town touch that sets it apart from the average franchise experience.

The restaurant itself is well maintained — floors clean, tables wiped, restrooms stocked, and the beverage station orderly. Even during a rush, the team stays organized, and you can tell the management keeps a close eye on quality and flow.

Food quality is reliably good for what it is. Fries were fresh and crisp, burgers were assembled neatly (not thrown together like you sometimes see elsewhere), and everything tasted like it just came off the line. The coffee was fresh, too — not sitting for hours like some locations allow.

The drive-thru is quick and well-coordinated, with staff who actually take the time to greet customers properly and double-check orders.

For a national chain, this McDonald’s is a standout example of consistency and pride in operations. If you’re in Clarkston and need a fast, predictable meal done right, this is the one to stop at.“

“Great sushi, good service, and a wonderful aesthetic. I recommend the Jimmy dean roll for starters, and there are cooked options for those hesitant to eat raw fish.

“The Applebee’s in Lewiston, Idaho is an excellent spot for a good meal. After a long day working in the office on my thriller and romance novels and taking care of business, I like to get out for a solid dinner.

The food is always well prepared. The whiskey bacon burger is one of my favorites. I’ll sometimes order a beer as well. You can tell this location is well run because the staff stays attentive and on top of things. And on the rare times something isn’t quite right, they jump on fixing it quickly. I really appreciate that.

There’s a big bar area and two separate dining zones. It’s never too loud, which makes conversation easy.

Parking is ample with plenty of space, and they also have a takeout door that works well with Uber Eats.“

“I usually have no problem with McD's, but lately they have had a problem with drink orders. Messed them up 2x last week. Today went for coffee for the boys and I and got home and mine was wrong. I wanted a peppermint mocha with lowfat and no whip. I had whip and does not taste lowfat. Getting fed up.“

“I've always loved Wendy's since I was just a kid.. My aunties used to take us there in Downey California back in the 70's she told us that it was her favorite place to dine as well..
The menu definitely has improved, blossomed and changed Over the years . JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER OVER THE COURSE OF TIME.. 🍔 🍟 😁“

“So, my husband and I had an ice cream cone a little more than a week ago and we were not happy with the dense ice milk substance that we were served with. This McDonald's has always given us the best service! I wrote a complaint and sent it to corporate and they asked if I wished to be contacted and I said yes. Once again, we were shopping in Lewiston this weekend and stopped for another cone. THEY'RE BAAAACK! It was delicious! Smooth, creamy, tasty and we were very happy! Today I received a call from Lindsey and she apologized for the malfunctioning of their ice cream machine and is sending us a gift card! Yay! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thank you, Lindsey for taking the time to call and explain and for your professionalism!“

“Classic drive-in burgers, crispy fries, and that nostalgic Northwest flavor”

Zip’s Drive In in Lewiston is exactly what a small-town burger joint should be — fast, friendly, and consistently delicious. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why classic drive-ins never go out of style. From the smell of the grill to the sound of fries hitting the oil, you know you’re in for something good the second you pull up.

The burgers are excellent — juicy patties, soft buns, and that perfect mix of melted cheese, lettuce, and sauce that hits every craving. The tartar sauce is legendary for a reason — tangy, creamy, and perfect on both burgers and fries. Speaking of fries, they’re crisp, golden, and addictive — especially when paired with a side of fry sauce or Zip’s signature dipping options.

The milkshakes deserve a shout-out too — thick, rich, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. It’s clear everything here is made to order, not just reheated.

Service is quick and friendly, even during the lunch rush. The staff work hard and keep orders moving without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. The drive-in setup is efficient, and the dine-in area is clean and comfortable if you want to sit down.

Zip’s has been around for decades for a reason — it’s simple, reliable, and full of flavor. If you’re in Lewiston and want a taste of true Northwest burger nostalgia, this is the spot.“
