    Obviously this is an older building so it's gonna have its things that need a little tlc but it's so cute! I love the old town vibe the food was awesome and the service was great too! I love that they have a part where if someone needs a meal but can't afford it you just take one of those tickets up and they'll get it for you. The milkshakes are amazing as well over all 5 stars !

    Loved this place!!!! The ice cream serving is huge and the staff are very friendly!!!!

    Had to take a bite immediately!

    Hubby and me day date. Had a burger and fish and chips. Also ordered some onion rings. All in all good. Friendly service. Food came out quick and hot. Went at lunchtime and surprised to see it was not very busy. Lots of clean and open tables. We've been there lots of times before but it has been a minute. A bit pricey but less than a sit down place would be for sure. Definitely fast type food but hometown feels. Try Dubs out!

    a receipt for a customer

    Called a liar for leaving an honest review of being upset for being charged 70.94 for 3 meals. And being charged a "general customer service" I have receipts. I don't appreciate being called a liar. When I was simply looking for answers due to the employee avoiding us. Also called a bot.

    This place is exactly worthy of its 3.5 current stars. There is a lot of truth here in these reviews but I didn't share some of the experiences. Staff was friendly & knowledgeable of the menu. Service was actually quite quick though the place was deserted on a Monday evening. Food was not exceptional but filling. Yes, burgers were frozen and YES they were mashed on the grill. Burger toppings were ample & fresh. Crinkle cut fries were hot and frying oil seemed fresh. Worth a stop for curiosity's sake. Will have to come back for the milkshakes.

    One of the older food establishments in Sandpoint. A favorite hangout with the high school kids. The place is FILTHY. Not sure when their last health inspection was but I can guarantee it was not recent. The seating areas are dirty, sticky and need a thorough sanitizer EVERYWHERE. The pictures do not do this justice... just about every ceiling square needs replaced. The benches are sticky and the windows/windowsills are really bad. The floor is also sticky. The food? Meh... I've had WAy better, at Zips which has about the same type of menu. Will I come back- sadly NO. I say this in all honesty, as I am a big supporter of local businesses. But this place should not receive anything higher than a C health rating ... at best. The pricing? Two bacon cheeseburgers, large French Fries and tater tots came to $20. Worth that? I would say no. Sorry Dubs... this place needs an overhaul. Staff? Nice kids - they were polite and wore masks dutifully.

    Disgusting booth

    I will not come here again. I couldn't believe how filthy it was. The kids running it were nice but horsing around the whole time and throwing stuff, cussing at each other, not cleaning anything. Everything was just disgustingly filthy. Not a clean booth to be had.

    When my family and I were first looking to relocate to north Idaho, our real estate agent…read morerecommended this place rather emphatically. It has since become a semi regular place for us when we're looking for breakfast or lunch of the sort that ends up being just about the only meal we'll eat that day. I can't recommend it from experience, but Green Eggs & Ham is what really put Hoot Owl on the map. But for my money, it doesn't get much better than their Ranch Burger. Breakfast or lunch, that's my go to along with an endless cup of coffee and tall glass of ice water. Whoever decided to mix ranch dressing and barbecue sauce deserves and Nobel effing Peace Prize. My wife has tried a number of their omelette and scramble offerings and never been disappointed. And then there's the cinnamon rolls. Brace yourself because it's literally the size of your face. Dripping in frosting and served with roughly half a cube of whipped butter, the cinnamon roll is an event unto itself, and definitely a prime item for sharing with the table. The atmosphere is very cozy and...Rural. It feels like something out of a period film; very down to earth and eclectic with lots of owl knickknacks all over the place. If you've a bad back or bad posture, I'd recommend a table over a booth as the booths are a little short in the seat and very straight backed. Parking is usually not bad, even when they're busy (which is often), but it's in a dirt lot that shares its real estate with a drive through coffee shack. Lots of potholes at the entrance, so depending upon your vehicle, get ready to slalom a bit. The restaurant offers free WiFi to guests and is relatively kid friendly with plenty of high chairs, decks of cards at the table, etc. Service has always been friendly and expedient. They recently started tacking on a 3% surcharge for card transactions, but if you pay cash you get a discount...Of 3%. Heh. Anyway, if you're in the area and you want a big meal at a decent price, this place is fantastic. Forgot to mention prices, but a half pound specialty burger with fries ranges $13-$16, and similar pricing on other entree menu items. Get you some.

It is a cute, quaint place. Being an older building and a restaurant that has run for many years, there are some things that have fallen through the cracks, like neglecting to clean the windowsill of dead flies. Not the most pleasant site right next to our booth. Service was friendly and quick. We had our food in no time. I got the Eggs Benedict and my husband got the Chicken Fried Steak. Food was mediocre and the portions were unnecessarily huge.

    This was one of the first places my family and I went to when we were relocating to North Idaho. In…read morefact, we met with the previous owners of our home over breakfast at Connie's to discuss the purchase of what is now our house and ten acre lot in Bonners Ferry. That aside, Connie's has become something of a standby for us, particularly in the summer months when we frequent the nearby City Beach. The atmosphere is reminiscent of vintage Denny's and Lyon's restaurants (when I was growing up, my family either owned or managed both, so this place feels like home when I'm there). Like the Hoot Owl, my favorite menu item is their Ranch Burger, which mixes barbecue sauce with a red wine vinaigrette (as opposed to ranch dressing at Hoot Owl), and served on a toasted sourdough roll. Their bacon is very thick and very crispy, with a dash of black pepper around the edges for added flair. Prices are reasonable to what you would expect and portion sizes are generous, with lots of steak fries or hash browns or whatever your pleasure. I'm not big on breakfast, but fortunately they seem to serve lunch all day. Service has always been very friendly and efficient, although if you go on weekends (particularly Sundays), they can be obscenely busy and once or twice this has meant longer waits for seating and service. They're very kid friendly, and have been very accommodating when our son occasionally picnics his McDonald's Happy Meal to the table. Parking can be a little tricky out on the street, but they're very well situated on the corner on Cedar Street, adjacent to and actually connected to part of the eponymous Cedar Street Hotel, and there's plenty of parking on adjacent streets and lots with a short and relatively pleasant walk to the premises. I'm usually reliant on cellular data for any internet needs while I'm there, but chances are you're there for the food more so than lightning fast upload/download speeds so head on over and enjoy your meal!

We waited 6 minutes to be seated while 2 waitresses were at the cash register trying to figure something out. Once seated after another 5 minutes of being ignored, the busser brought us coffee and apologized. Another 10 minutes went by before we saw a waitress to take our order. 30 minutes later we finally got our food which was barely warm. We got a refill of our coffee 15 minutes before our meal and nothing after that. Today we went for breakfast. We were seated immediately and our waitress never showed up nor did we get our coffee for 9 minutes. She took our order right after. It took 20 minute after our simple order was taken before we received it, and once again no refill of coffee. I know Lost in the 50's is 2 weeks away, and if service remains like it's been, you'll have a bunch of upset customers.
