We read; The Sand Trap, and saw it's logo--the flagstick (golf hole pin), and immediately…read morecelebrated. "Yes! The last time we went to a clubhouse bar & grille the experience was fantastic." Then we did research--Oh boy lol, it's near a golf course at least, and it is a sports bar & grill, so off to Pokey we went. After a fun little stop for coffee in Blackfoot along the way, we headed off to West Chubbuck Rd. via 91 South. Off the hwy, and into town, anticipating arriving at the restaurant after every stretch of property that could have held a golf course--But no, I was jumping the gun. We kept traveling down the old road of evolving names, past all the commerce area, past the homes, and past the point of me feeling confident in my navigation app--started to think we were lost. Traveling down Old Bannock highway, until finally on Pocatello's south tip some roadside establishments appeared. With a big Budweiser truck along the shoulder, and that very welcome digital sound voice "You're destination is on the left" I scanned for the name and logo--Eureka! Nice large parking lot with wheelchair access, and a bike rack out front--a space for everyone. The inside environment is high-heritage, beer-centric sports tavern with an affluent local soul. It's a warmly lit sports lounge with a textured quartz stone trim (Tried a video of this for you). Along with dedicated photos of today's memories and past, there is an entertaining collage of abstract Ads, untypical beer mirrors, and signs that crowd the walls triumphantly displaying unique logos. There are two mountain bikes secured above the doorway--fitting of a true sports bar. The tables and booths are In close proximity to each other, but space enough to be private. Perfect for a gathering, or a scattering. Many of the patrons we saw, know the bartender/server (Who is a young man) by name, and are themselves a little elderly. This place is a real old-time buddies sports clubhouse, with a vibe that welcomes everyone. Good thing too; It would be a shame for anyone to miss out Isac's, (ēzak) friendly and superior skills. He's a great server, handled our orders like a pro. It's easy to see that he's been doing this for a while. He kept perfect pace with the customers needs (Even as the place started filling up a bit) and the kitchen putting out the food. Seven* for the solo, unshakable Bar-Server! The smell inside was crippling me! My stomach growling--it was trying to eat the delicious smell. That makes it really hard to concentrate, and find the perfect item/s, cuz you want it all lol. The menu has a something for every type of comfort hungry appeal. Finally! We decided on food. A 3 Piece Appetizer Combo, and Steak Fingers for us to share. A Crispy Chicken Salad for her, and I had the Roast Beef Sandwich. It comes with your choice of wheat or sourdough. Toasted sourdough for me--no contest. I really overdid it with a just thick enough to be a chore to get thru the straw, Strawberry Shake--SO GOOD. Ok I shoulda been done a long time ago, but they had Mac & Jacks African Amber! I mean, amber lovers know I got a mug But yeah, like always, we ordered too much food. The Steak Fingers are BOMB!, not your typical over breaded and burnt, pieces of drowned in oil nuggets. These were STEAK.....FINGERS. There is a difference. She loved her her Salad, and my Sandwich, man that was tasty. Thinly sliced roast, and from the smell inside freshly roasted, perfectly seasoned, well toasted yet juicy. Dang! My side was a fresh house-made Chicken Noodle & Vegetable Soup that I can't even describe. You'll have to see the photos--this masterpiece even has fresh cut potatoes. Those things were good and tasty to great. Butttt at some point, the appetizers all being deep fried started tasting the same. So maybe we over did it, or maybe my order wasn't a hole in one, but I'm confident you'll love it. So 5* overall, but even with some standout items 4* on the food. Thanks for reading. Need to see the Pics.

This is super yum!! With bacon?!?!?! Extra indulgent!! So good!! *Palate burger. Bacon jam? Yes, please! Pickle Aioli? Interesting, sign me up! This was a yummy burger, although I never did find the cheese on it....yet still happily ate my piece. *Ambitious Blonde Burger. I would have preferred a bit more beer cheese-or maybe a 2nd type of cheese too? but it was still very yummy!! The generous amount of yummy bacon made up for any smaller amount of cheese ;-) *Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Super yum, although we are used to more of an oil based "sauce" and this was something else. Still good, still spicy, just not super authentic(we lived in the Nashville/Huntsville area for a decade) *Pulled pork Sandwich. Super good. Sauce seems homemade, great compliment to the sandwich! *Smoked Tri-tip Sandwich. Really good. The bbq sauce, toppings make it next level! This is coming from someone who never understood the hype of tri-tip(when living in CA), but finally did-just took going to ID to figure it out ;-) *Cuban Sandwich. This was good. Had the pulled pork from above & was very yummy!! Condiments once again took it to the next level! Exactly what it should be! *Pretzel Bites. These were served with beer cheese & super yum, kids loved them! Everything was amazing & we cannot wait to go back for more!! All 4 kids loved everything!!

I got a recommendation from an old friend to come here while in town. We accidentally went to the…read morelocation at Jim Dandy's Brewing. When we walked in the server insisted that we sit inside instead of going out back. I wish we had gone out back to the truck, our server was super attentive but we felt a bit forced to buy a drink from them and ordering via the bistro QR code from the table was a little clunky. We were also traveling and the drink menu from Jim Dandy's didn't tickle our fancy. My husband got the Piggyback Burger with truffle fries and it was delicious! All of the flavors went well together and were plentiful. I had the pork tacos and the brussel sprouts. The brussels could've feed four people and were a bit on the very well done side. The tacos were full of meat but just okay and the chimichurri was nothing to write home about. The location was clean and quiet. Loads of seating inside and had some fun decor touches. Maybe we'll head to the other location next time we are in the area.

Upon arriving, my guests and I were so disappointed to find out that the restaurant closed early without any notice. We were able to ask a staff member as she was leaving why the restaurant was closed, she informed us that they had had a wedding party and were tired, so they decided to close. I was not given any notice of the change of hours, neither by email nor by phone. All 6 of us were coming from out of town. I consider this lack of communication poor customer service.

My boyfriend and I stopped by for a drink and lunch. Food was pricey and really wasn't worth the meal. I ordered the burrito and it had penne pasta in it.

I ended up unwrapping the burrito and just eat the sausage. I don't like penne pasta and the sauce was really salty. He ordered the chicken wings with sauce on the side. Really hard to mess this up.

I can't understand how we got the worst and best restaurants I. Pocatello in one morning! . Thank you so much Teese and ButterBurr's for making us and I'm sure many other patrons full, content and happy! PS: we were in awe after we received our order and began to eat and most of our meal was eaten before we thought of taking a photo but, trust me, ButterBurr's is extremely wonderful to eat. The price?? Very reasonable as well! Loved our visit! Definitely our new 'go to' place, regardless of distance, is our place to go. Thank You!!!! Highly recommended!!!!
