Burger and fries were great but the soup wasn't good, it was all thick broth and hardly any chicken or rice and too much rosemary and seasoning. But the service was horrible. We eat out several times a week and love to support local businesses. Sometimes we get full meals and sometimes a snack in-between activities. Our waiter was so rude. We were never asked how our meal was or checked on while we were eating. We were given our food without everything we asked for so waited several minutes while he took another order while our food got cold. Then we had to ask again. We informed the waiter we wanted to order an additional meal but he never came back so we could order. He only came back to clear our plates and give the check. I will never go back. read more

Great little cozy atmoshpore, our waitress (who's name we did not catch) was one of the BEST waitresses ever! Knew what we needed before we even did! We had the most amazing spinach salad, grouper fish, the special that night and the pork chop from the menu. Perfectly cooked, beautiful presentation and flavor was heavenly! For dessert, even though we were stuffed, was the Chocolate Creme de Pot....OH LORD, it was the MOST delicious dessert, ever! I live in Spokane, but I will drive up to Sandpoint just to revisit Baxters on Cedar, frequently! read more

I was given a gift certificate to Baxters so I decided to try it. First off I was a little put off at first because they didn't have space for my family of 6 so me and my husband decided to go at a later date by our selves. We were very please with the whole experience from our wine and appetizers to our dinner and desert everything was perfect and yummy. Only down side is I don't think its kid friendly so it will make it a little difficult for us to return because we normally dine with our kids and it is a little spendy. Great food and service though read more

Fantastic little restaurant. We had the portobello mushroom burger and a gyro. Both were fabulous and well priced. Reason for the 4 star was when we entered the guy who told us where to sit just pointed and wasn't super friendly. Waitress was much friendlier. Would definitely return for the food. read more

My favorite place in town. As a guy who spends who spends a lot of time on the road for work, I get to eat at a lot of great restaurants. Baxter's is great. Super great vibe. Just drive by and you'll see what I mean. Solid selection of craft beers, high-quality food, and reliable service. If you're in Sandpoint...you won't go wrong with Baxter's. read more

Great food. Love the Portabella sandwich. Prices on the high end of middle if that makes sense. It's a bistro, menu is consistent enough to make you happy to return for favorites and offers interesting newbies daily. Ambiance is great, service very good, you are never rushed from your table when done (eg pay your bill now and let us flip the table). Renowned for their Keylime cheesecake (well earned) It tastes amazing! read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Sandpoint. I have never had a disappointing meal there - lunch or dinner. The shrimp tacos on the lunch menu are the bomb and the duck confit and meatloaf on the dinner menu are to die for. Not to mention their key lime pie..... best I've ever had. Go to Baxter's!!! read more

I wanted to like this place, I really did; such was not the case, however. Our waiter greeted us in a timely and courteous manner, arranged the menus so that we would see the separate drink menu along with the food. It started out satisfactory. He took our drink orders, built rapport, and we took the opportunity to peruse the menus. I was a little set back by the prices, ex. $6 for a Caesar salad, $5 extra to add a chicken breast, but I accepted it as typical snobby bistro style. I value my money, because I work to earn it, so I asked the waiter why it was $5 to add chicken to a caesar; he gave a vague "because of the food cost" in response. Nothing resembling a reason that would pass muster; no explanation of "it's free range, certified organic chicken breast" for example. That, I wouldn't have batted an eyelash at; I understand and appreciate the reasons behind the cost of clean foods. Nonplussed, but still willing to be impressed, I ordered it anyway; my companion got an $8 burger (no cheese or bacon, mind you) with a small portion of fries. We were the only table in the place until after our food was served, and a man that I assume was the owner or manager even came out to offer me freshly ground pepper on my salad. My chicken breast was barely on the cooked side - it still had the texture of raw meat - which I was willing to forgive, since it was cooked enough to eat safely. At the end of the meal, when the waiter was taking our dishes, I let him know about the barely cooked meat and that I wasn't complaining, just letting the cook know. We get our hand written bill, and I noticed that the numbers didn't tally up to the total written at the bottom. I brought it to the waiter's attention, he offered to redo the math, and walked back quickly to explain that his math was correct. I asked him to explain, because the numbers added up to $2 less than the total he gave. He pointed to his tally marks on the bill next to our drinks, saying that we needed to double the amount. I clarified that the drinks were $2 each and not $2 for both (this was another irritation, since they were cans of soda and $2 is an exorbitant amount for a can of soda) and pointed out that he needed to write the correct total amount next to the item, because customers are going to be adding up what is written, not searching for hidden math equations on their bill. He actually argued that point, saying it was very clearly written; I'll admit to being nearly shocked at his attitude over a simple miscommunication - on his part, no less. Customer service: failed, no tip for you, buddy boy! What was even more irritating is that the manager/owner who had come out earlier witnessed the entire thing and didn't step in at all. read more

Ambiance is nice, but very overpriced and we left hungry. I can see why the place was nearly empty when we entered. If the prices were lowered by $2 per dish and they added more food to each dish, it would be way better! The waiter is delightful! read more

We had heard good things about this restaurant so we decided to try it out this morning. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the decor. Our server came right over to greet us. When he brought our drinks he spilled some of mine on the table. Never acknowledged it or offered to wipe it up. We got our breakfast quickly except for my toast that didn't come till I was finished with my meal. Waited for awhile to get our check, finally had to ask for it. Don't think I will be going back. read more

I thought the prices were super high for the quality of their ingredients. I was hoping for everything to be house made and gourmet, but they used a lot of pre-bought dressings and ingredients. We got some sandwiches for lunch and were kind of disappointed. read more

Hidden gem. Food was amazing and the quality to price is incredible! Service is amazing, I felt welcome and like I was at a friends home.

The owner is at the place every night. Super rad dude. Was in town for 6 days on business and ate there 3 times. EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IS DELICIOUS. First night- prime rib. Rare and it was bloody perfect. Next night the most perfect pork or lamb chops- I can't remember, but either way, to die for. Literally. I've been going there with some vegetarians who I love and respect and they've been getting a grilled portobello burger. So the last night, I had to eat two, because they were too good not too! I'm serious. Our brains don't have the capacity to understand the goodness capable from those portobello burgers, until you experience it for yourself. This is coming from someone who loves delicious meat in his mouth. To top it off they have the best key lime pie. So good it's got a money back guarantee. I took this seriously, so I called the owner over to make eye contact with me while I took the first bite. Needless to say, it was so dam good it puts the local beavers to shame. Sorry for the grammar. read more

Baxters on Cedar - The prime rib, rare, as requested and it was a masterpiece. - Bars Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

Yelp doesn't typically steer me wrong when I look for numerous reviews and high ratings. Great food and service. We will be back.

Great restaurant! I had the pesto penne and it was great, they had a shrimp stuffed sole that was also outstanding! Nice wine list and great service! read more

Late afternoon and we were going out for sushi but it was closed. We were so glad we tried Baxter's. Lobster roll is heavenly and the peel and eat shrimp were done perfectly. The menu looked great and I can't wait to come back for dinner. The service was awesome as well. read more

Stopped here for lunch and arrived just as it opened at 11am. We ordered our drinks and my hubby a burger and I had the Bahn Mi with pork. It took 25 minutes for our food to arrive, which I felt was a little long as there was only us and 1 other couple when we ordered. My hubby said the burger was very good. My Bahn Mi had lots of meat but very little of the pickled vegetables that you expect and they did not have much flavor, so to me it felt more like a nice pork sandwich. The dinner menu looks worth coming back for. read more

When I dine out I look for interesting food in an atmosphere which does not intrude into the experience. It is the food which is important. Is it fresh and does it live up to its menu description. Lastly, is the portion reasonable for a grown man eating dinner. Not huge industrial portions like a franchise feeding trough, not belly busting, but a meal. Having enjoyed both the ambiance and food at Baxters I can state the place is nice, the food well prepared, and they leave 1/3 to 1/2 the meal in the kitchen! To leave an average restaurant hungry after spending $25+ per head w/I drinks is ridiculous. To the owner : Has anyone ever asked off a doggy bag ? I seriously doubt it. read more

Won't be back! Too much money for tiny amount of food. Broccoli was yellow and not appealing to eat.

We loved this place so much that we went there for dinner 2 out of the 4 nights we were visiting Sandpoint. We had a party of six the second night, so we really got to try everything. The cioppino was fantastic and my favorite main course. My husband loved the duck and the salmon might be the best I've ever had! We liked the mussels so much, we ordered two. My nephew gobbled up the meatloaf and mashed potatoes like it was his last meal on earth. The only negative thing we experienced was how long it took to get our food both nights, but I'd rather wait if it means the food is this good. The owners came to our table both nights and are really nice and are working hard to make Baxter's a great restaurant. Do yourself a favor and order the key lime pie for dessert. You will never find a better key lime pie! read more

Had the coffee rubbed pork chop. Excellent. Good service. Would highly reccomend. Prices reasonable and portions abundant.

I won't come back. $12 for a Shrimp Caesar salad the size of a side salad. Cost is only #2 problem. The shrimp was over cooked, rubbery and charred and completely over-seasoned. If the food was good, I could let be with the size. Good thing I was hungry or I would not have finished. read more

The best. Everyone needs to try it. The specials are great! Something new, you have to try the lobster rolls, to good! Just save some for me! read more

First time there. It's a really great experience. The Lobster Roll is truly authentic. Better than any I've had in Maine. Key Lime pie is a masterpiece. Service was perfect. The dinner menu will guarantee that we'll be back soon. Well worth the drive from Cda!!! read more

Seafood haven. Must try the lobster roll, crab cakes and clams. If your a veggie lover get the mushroom burger! Everything I tried is delicious and worth the wait! I'd definitely can't wait to come back! Thanks to Nikia for showing us this lovely place! read more

Had the scallop tacos (daily special) and they were fabulous! And my wife had the meatloaf sandwich (she was nice enough to give me a bite) and it too was great!! We had to try the infamous Key Lime Pie which was very very tasty!!! We'll be back. read more

An amazing meal! Service was top notch. All of our menu items were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The prime rib portions were beyond generous and each order fed two adults. The spinach salad was fresh, and the plating was beautiful. The cheeseburger and fries were delicious. read more

Had my first dinner here at Baxters and I fell in love with the crab cakes. The service was absolutely amazing everyone had a smile on their face and was being so polite! I recommend the key lime pie I've never had anything like it. read more

Good service, food, and atmosphere at a locally owned joint on the main drag. Only complaint is that the beer was really not very cold but it didn't stop me from ordering a second one anyway. read more

Key Lime to die for! The turkey soup is out f this world and I don't care for turkey!! Seriously, everything is fantastic, great wine selection, friendly waitstaff and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming read more

Baxters is my favorite restaurant in town. It's always delicious and the service is great. Best key lime pie I've had in my life!

Another amazing dinner at Baxter's last night. Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Sandpoint. Great atmosphere. Great Service. We eat there often and have never had a bad meal. We highly recommend the Duck Confit and Lamb Sliders. read more

Service was friendly. It wasn't busy at all for a Friday night. We got our order taken promptly nut had to wait 30 min for our food. Everyone liked their food. Meatball sliders, lobster roll, portabella burger. My mother in law liked her steamers but thought the broth was too fishy. Desserts were expensive-$7-7.50 and our chocolate pot de creme wasn't very good. Very small and covered in blueberries. We thought we received the cobbler by mistake. Waiter noticed our disappointment and took it off the bill. Restaurant is clean and decorated with local pictures. read more

Was not impressed in the least. Warm plate for salad and the food was lukewarm in temperature and flavor. We were truly disappointed and won't be back read more

Great food and they may have the best Key Lime Pie on the planet!!! I had the shrimp pasta it was great...was also told the burgers are good. Whatever you order just make sure to get the KEY LIME PIE. read more

My wife and I just ate here last night. Unfortunately there wasn't room for us inside so we had to site out front and the metal table was on an angle so we had to be careful about our food sliding off the table. The wait for our food was long but worth it in the end. I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and I loved it. The servers were also very friendly but at times lacked a little in attentiveness. Overall though I did like the food and restaurant. read more

I tried Baxters on Cedar for lunch today (7-20-16) after seeing it had 4.5 stars on Yelp. I too would highly recommend it. I had the spinach salad (blue cheese, bacon, onions, nuts...) and shrimp tacos. Both were great. And Erica was very friendly & helpful. I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Don't bother unless you are a local. The place was busy the bar was empty. The bartender was busy closing servers checks. I sat there with no acknowledgement. Then a person comes to the bar and the hostess ask him if he had a Togo so she took care of him while I sat there with still no acknowledgement. I have had dinner there when I am in town. But will not from now on. Very disappointed read more

Baxters has quickly become the best restaurant in Sandpoint. Everything we have ever ordered is cooked to perfection. Love the variety of the menu. Had the pork loin sandwich for lunch today and it was delicious. Well, again let me say, everything we have ordered there is great. Another plus is that they are opened year round 6 days a week. Wish the didn't close on Mondays. Don't get hungry in Sandpoint on s Monday. Oh well. At least they are open year round. Try this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

One of the best meals I have had in Sandpoint. The meals were beautiful as well as delicious. Service was excellent. Baxter's was love at first bite. Definitely will be back again. read more
