    Gorgeous views, even on this rainy morning.
    Amy J.

    This place truly checked all our boxes. We wanted tasty breakfast with a nice view and were striking out in Sandpoint. We opted for the 15 minute drive north and found this gem hidden in the back of a gas station. The portions were generous with good flavors, service was quick, and even on a rainy day the scenery looked lovely. Definitely would like to come back for a sunny bite on the patio! I recommend the bacon jam burrito!

    updated post covid. 2022 the BH is a great little stop along hiway 95N. convenience store/gas station with the small restaurant in the back. Outside seating is really nice when the weather is nice. Enjoy the amazing views of the lake and mountains and have some good diner food. it is one of our a local favorite stops. Give blue heron a try if you are traveling through or are local. Pros- good food. Good basic menu. Nice outdoor seating patio. Horseshoe pit, music stage, views of a lake, mountains. Wildlife'(herons) Cons- on a busy day you could be waiting if you are with a group.

    Hidden gem. This sweet little cafe in the back of a gas station/ convenience store was an amazing find. Not only an award worthy view out the beautiful windows and excellent outdoor seating but really great food and amazing service as well (Trev). The owners should be super proud .

    Great service, great food. The fish and chips on Friday nights is worth going for, it's made fresh.

    I came to Idaho for the first time ever to go snowboarding. After my day was done, I was starving…read morebut wanted to eat closer to my hotel. Sweet Lou's was actually down the street and it had some foods that sounded really good. I was seated immediately and my waiter Elijah got my drink order. I asked him what he recommended and he mentioned the Tailgate Eggrolls and a burger. But I was really craving a steak and he said they had a special on prime rib. I'm a huge steak lover, especially prime ribs so I opted for that with the Tailgate Eggrolls. I suppose I was hungrier than I thought after a long day and I ate everything. The 5 Tailgate Eggrolls, a Caesar Salad (not pictured), the prime rib, and a cup of Vegetable Beef soup. The eggrolls were filled with cream cheese, jalapeños, cheese and served with a jalapeño pepper jelly. If you love cream cheese, this appetizer for you. I like crab rangoon, I like jalapeño poppers, and now I like these egg rolls. The Caesar salad was great. Fresh romaine, crunchy seasoned croutons, shredded Parmesan cheese, and fresh cracked pepper. The star of the show was the prime rib. I've had many prime ribs, rib roasts, beef roasts in my life big I've never had one smoked, which was a detail I missed when Elijah was telling me about it. Let me tell you, the smoke flavor was infused with the meat and the seasoning on the prime rib was superb. The addition of BOTH horseradish and aus jus is a nice touch. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Last but not least, the vegetable beef soup was chock full of celery, potatoes, and huge chunks of beef. Hearty and delicious indeed. If you're living here, then I'm jealous Sweet Lou's is here for you. If your visiting, pay Sweet Lou's a visit. Elijah is a fantastic server!

    I honestly don't understand why I keep trying to give this place money…read more Every so often the food is enjoyable. But I'd argue that 80% of the time, the food is somehow worse than most fast food places. Couldn't recommend it this place to a dog

    Omg. We waited TWO HOURS and still no dinner. We had 2 rounds of drinks and 1 appetizer but we…read morestill sat. And sat. AND SAT and were trying to get to THE HIVE for a show. We figured 2 1/2 hours was safe enough to be able to have drinks dinner and get over two doors away or so and apparently it wasn't.... We ended up having pizza at the Hive. I have to say my biggest concern was these poor young and hard working servers and their responsibility ---having to face the unhappy tables when everything is so so slow and so poorly managed. We were told not to go and should have listened. She (owner) overextend herself at the diner's expense. If she wants to have that kind of a venue with that kind of menu ($$$$) she needs to close down and enlarge her kitchen and hire some staff and make it work, but otherwise, as it is now it's a ridiculous set up...

    This is a pretty cool spot to come and enjoy a relaxed evening. Pretty upscale and well thought out…read moredecor. Full bar and quite a good selection of wine options. The staff were helpful and professional. Relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself here. The menu selections are quite high end and sounded tasty. My food scene is a bit different than those selections so I asked if it was possible to try one of their smash burgers. A smash burger showed up and it did not disappoint. I can safely say one of the top 5 burgers I have enjoyed in the northwest. My wife was thrilled with her fish dinner and she even ordered something else and then asked if she could change her order. They absolutely had no problem with that and delivered. Next time I was to try their appetizers. One of the better spots in Sandpoint for sure.
