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 !

Bacon cheeseburger, mushroom burger. Fries and tots

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!

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.

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.

a dirty floor in a bathroom

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
Anna R.

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.

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the fresh, flavorful burgers, friendly service, and nostalgic atmosphere. Portions are generous, and pricing is seen as reasonable.

NOTE: This was originally intended for the Oldtown location but it applies to several stores in any…read morecase. This is absolutely my go-to grocery store! If you are looking for daily good prices on your typical staples in general, they will deliver. I consider them the middle class of stores. Not super fancy and pricy as Fred Meyer and not cheap and questionable as Wal-Mart. (Ya, I said it.) Their sales are phenominal, strangely enough in fact, I get excited each week for their ad to see what's on sale next! You don't even have to wait for or find a printed ad, if you sign up for emails each week you get a link to view ads online either in text only format or viewing the actual sales pages. As a bonus, there is a super coupon for weekends just for subscribers. They are locally owned/managed so I LOVE that. In fact, they support many of our local producers as well, for example, Meyer and Woods meats, Laclede berries, raw cow milk (can't remember the farm name), and I'm sure several others. The employees always seem to be much more available/helpful. There are several locations for convenience, each a tad different but not so much you don't feel unfamiliar. In my opinion, A good store is one where you feel comfortable purchasing both meat and fruit and like the quality of both! They have loads of services people often overlook too such as: 5 gallon water filling, kombucha filling, growler filling, a fresh bread baking machine (Sandpoint), movie rentals, PO services, coin counter machines, lottery ticket machines, fuel (Oldtown), floral department, deli, dry ice sales, bait (?), and many other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. Although, I do not see a place where they list these on their website for each location so best to call ahead. Oddly enough, at this time anyhow, I really can't think of anything that stands out to be improved other than a more informative website...and that says something! EDIT: OK, OK, I did find a couple of small things. I wouldn't mention it if it were just a one time thing but these two things happened yesterday. This is for the OLDTOWN location. When you are purchasing fruit or produce, be sure to double check your receipt. Preferably, try to catch it as they ring up...but when you are by yourself unloading onto the belt and they are pretty much finished ringing up by the time you are done unloading, it's nearly impossible. Often I find that, especially when something organic is listed on sale, the register rings up full price. I almost overpaid $2 on strawberries. A small pittance for some, yes, but possibly that rare treat of a candy bar for others. The other is to watch your baggers. Don't be afraid to make a request as that may get them to think about it differently if they were not properly trained. It is much easier to haul bags that have a few canned food or plastic bottles in the bottom, then boxed items, then crushables on top than all of one kind in one bag. They always end up ripping. Especially 2 liter bottles of soda even when double bagged. Just ask for paper or bring your own cloth reuseable bags. Likewise, meat should be bagged separately or at the least in a separate bag within another, especially not with other produce. I try to load my items on the belt how bagging would make sense, like putting as many cold items together as possible and bag in paper. I found out they also no longer have icecream bags so just ask for paper. This may seem petty to some but when you live in the back woods and have to deal with sloppy trips into the house during inclement weather and dogs trying to scope out your purchases...good bagging helps!

The store is really good and my family used to love it, but we will not be returning or…read morerecommending it anymore because of predatory behavior by the company they contract with for security. A member of my household went back in to get one deli item that we hadn't gotten. Because you walk past the doors to get back to the registers, she forgot she hadn't bought this item yet and began to walk out. The security person saw a confused and distressed young woman, barely over 18, making no attempt to conceal or otherwise indicate an intent to be doing anything dishonest.... And decided that the appropriate response was not to see if she was willing to pay or have a simple conversation. Instead he detained this young woman for a half an hour while calling in law enforcement. When the police officer said they didn't see any evidence of an actual crime, the security guy instead made her sign something before she could leave. She didn't understand it, but it said she owed the guy's Security Company (not paid to Super One themselves) the cost of the $12 single food item PLUS $250 in "restitutions"!! This is not someone who has any prior issues with this or another store. This is not someone who was combative or deceitful. I'm convinced he saw someone confused and vulnerable and decided he could flex his "authority" and bully them over a trivial issue to make some money for his company and pretend like he's doing something resembling his actual job. He also trespassed them for a year from the store, which is frankly pointless because none of us will be shopping here again with this hostile approach.

When we first moved to this area a few years ago, Joe's was our go to after a day swimming and…read morecatching sun out on City Beach. It's roughly walking distance from the beach (maybe a brisk quarter mile or so from the sand), and is THE best kept secret in downtown Sandpoint. This place defines "hole in the wall" restaurant, and even if you're on foot, if you blink at the wrong moment, you'd likely miss it. Don't do that. This place is excellent. I've never been to Philadelphia, so I can't say with any accuracy or certainty how Joe's sandwiches hold up to the real deals, but I will say that the sandwiches and their burgers are indeed the Real Deal. Their sandwiches come in 8" and 12" lengths and burgers from 1-2 quarter pound patties. They have a fairly standard soda fountain equipped with Pepsi product, a few bottled beverages, and a mindblowing milk shake menu. A few years ago they even offered a buffalo sauce flavored milk shake. Full stop. Anyway, I can attest that their huckleberry shake and Hershey's chocolate malt are out of this world awesome. My wife and I went here for date night last night, our first time in in quite some time. Service was very friendly and attentive, and everything was made to order. Whereas I've usually gone for the Philly cheese steak or French dip, this time I did the bacon burger with pepper jack (they have a good variety of cheese available, I should add) and left with zero regrets. My wife did the standard cheeseburger with everything and we split a side of onion rings which were ambrosial (delicious, amazing, what have you). Parking can be a little iffy, but there are some spots on the street right out front. Worst case scenario, they're a very short walking distance from the big (free) public parking lot on Church street, which is where I parked. You might even need the walk if you're eating there. Inside seating is limited, but clean and comfortable. The AC wasn't the greatest, and I can't imagine the heat from the kitchen does the interior temps any favors. My wife and I rarely if ever get a date night anymore, so the whole thing was a great treat, and something I'd gladly do again anytime. Highly, highly recommended.
