The Ricardo Burger
Dutch S.

There's no need to go anywhere else for the best burger in Northern Idaho. The meat is fresh ground daily. Bring an appetite because the burgers are 7 oz of deliciousness. The classic Marilyn burger is my goto, but the southwest inspired John Wayne with onion rings and bbq sauce is fighting for top position. Today I'm having the Ricardo, grilled jalapenos, crispy fried onion, spicy mayo and pepper jack cheese. This place is a local favorite.

Grilled Cheeseburger  Inside out butter grilled hamburger bun, double American cheese, caramelized onion, bacon, house spread!

BEST burger in the area! I was referred here by family and man!!...this place didn't disappoint! I usually look at a menu ahead of time and know what I want when I go. This time, I couldn't decide and was still undecided when I got there. I finally chose the "Grilled Cheeseburger". When it arrived, it was more than I was expecting, which was great! Their burgers are huge! Crispy bun, firm and grilled perfectly. The burger was juicy and cheese/onions dripping all around (the pics don't lie). The crazy part, when I cut it in half and the juices ran under the bun on the plate...it was still crispy and firm. The bun didn't get all soft. Then the first bite.... COME ON MAN! So good! Flavors of the grilled burger, onions, cheese all over..... perfect! Onion rings were good. Take a bite and the whole onion didn't come out like some places. Place is quaint and clean. I didn't get the name of the gal who served us, she might have been the owner, not sure. But she was nice. I visit from Seattle and this place is permanently on my list of places to go eat every time I come here! Can't wait to try another one of the many selections I couldn't decide on (HAHA!).

Best burgers in the area. Charbroiled tasting burgers with nicely buttered and toasted buns. Healthy size portion. Onion rings are delicious.

Western Burger with sweet potato fries covered in a truffle sauce.

If you find yourself in Rathdrum Idaho and looking for great food, give Penny's a shot. The Western burger is very good and the Parmigian sweet potato fries with truffle sauce aswell. Service was good and the meal was fantastic.

Pineapple Teriyaki Burger
Frank H.

We were staying in Rathdrum for a few days and decided to give this restaurant a try (6/20) since my husband and daughter love hamburgers. We were greeted promptly by the friendly waitress (can't remember her name) and were told that they only have seating for 6 outside. We didn't complain because it was nice outside. My husband ordered the Pineapple Teriyaki burger and my daughter had the Sriracha burger, we also ordered a couple grilled cheeses & truffle parm fries. Everything was very good and absolutely no complaints. Service was fast and very friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will visit again when we are back in the area.

Been back several times. One of the best burgers ANYWHERE. I heard they are retiring in May of 2026. Sad.

Space is small (like 6 tables) but the burger was great. Services was good even though it was busy and there was only one server.

​Stopped by Westwood Brewing in Rathdrum for lunch recently and overall had a really nice…read moreexperience. It was a bit loud inside, but honestly, that's totally normal and expected for a lively brewery! What really stood out right away was the ambiance and the decor--they've done a fantastic job making the space look great and welcoming. ​The Service: Absolutely 5 stars. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and constantly checked in on us to make sure we weren't missing a thing. You really can't ask for better hospitality. ​The Food: I ordered the Brisket Mac and Cheese. The mac and cheese itself was good, and the brisket was cooked nicely, but the dish was just a bit out of balance. The sauce and juices from the brisket were incredibly strong and completely overpowered the mac and cheese. If they dialed back the brisket juice a bit, it would be a perfect comfort dish. ​Overall, a great local spot with top-tier service and a really cool vibe. I'll definitely be back to try a few other things on the menu!

First time trying Westwood and I can easily say it lives up to the hype. Service from start to…read morefinish was so friendly! The burger was recommended by the server and was excellent. Next level and complex all around. And icing on the cake(figuratively, I hate cake) their old fashion was also very good. Just simple, authentic flavor - a great treat for a dad with a crazy kid. Can't wait to come back again for more "guys night out". Thanks!

This is my favorite place in Coeur d'Alene. It has a good location on the main downtown street. I…read morelike the decor inside and it makes you feel that you're in a proper English pub. The workers here were very friendly. They take your order at the bar and then bring the food over when it's ready. I came here for breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, I had their bangers & mash. They make their own sausage in house and have rotating flavors. I tried their bratwurst & curry chicken sausages, both were great. My husband ordered their sausage roll, which came with a crisp puff pastry and sauce. He also ordered the chip butty, which are chips on a ciabatta roll. Later in the day, for lunch, we shared a scotch egg. The scotch egg was perfectly runny and had a crisp outside. We also shared the fish & chips and ordered the cod as the fish. It tasted very fresh and flavorful. All of our food was great here. I would highly recommend this place.

I asked for recommendations from the girl who worked there and she recommended one vegetarian item on the appetizers rather than being enthusiastic about the menu at all. The food was ok, but overpriced for what you got. I liked my fish and chips with mushy peas. The sausages were ok, flavor-wise, but kinda... soft... no sausage "snap" to them. The food is somewhere between a three and a four but the service, and the lack there of, was a one. Didn't really have an Irish pub vibe, at all. Very touristy.
