There was little to nothing "rustic" about this place; the name conjured up too high of expectations for us. With already so few options on their menu for vegetarian/gluten free choices we were hoping they could accommodate with some form of "real food." Sadly, all we got was a plate of brown: sub-par, ho-hum fries (when I asked for a salad), a store-bought bun, and a nasty looking, microwaved store-bought Garden Burger. Yuck. The coffee? Cold. Expensive. And we've had better at any gas station. The bread itself, Rustic's shining star, was dry and crusty by any standard. Places like this capitalize on an abundance of tourists who don't demand high-quality, delicious food and just stop in based on a name and a "promise" of real, fresh food. But Rustic, by any other name, would still not be so sweet. read more

Good rustic whole foods - quick and friendly service. Ran in for breakfast - had omletes and steel cut oats - both had tons of flavor.. great place for healthy whole food. read more

They were out of the one thing I ordered, but didn't tell me until after I paid. They kindly offered to make whatever else I wanted off the menu. They seem to pride themselves on homemade bread but all the bread I tried (chips, panini and maple butter baguette that my mom had) was all very stale. Cute atmosphere but needs some work. read more

What a bomb little place! Stopped in on our road trip from Oregon to Montana. They are very quick and delicious! The paninis are giant and they have a great beer selection read more

Very nice staff, pizza was exactly on time. Hoping they offer gluten free crusts soon! Salad was great. I'm happy to see a quick, grab-and-go oriented place open on Sherman! read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Eggs and bacon were good, bacon exceptionally delicious! I like my eggs a little more done so they were perfect for me! Coffee was ok. Definitely would come back and try some more food! Employees were nice as well! read more

Not what you'd expect. The facade gives you the feeling of a traditional "sit down" experience, but is delivered with limited choices and confusion. Free mimosas and Bloody Marie's delivered poorly executed by a basic bagel joint at best. Have you ever tried to cut your own French toast with plastic utensils? If not, try it sometime. read more

Ugh. The staff acted like it was annoying to have to wait on a customer. Even though there was only one other table with customers, every table in the restaurant was dirty. There were 3 staff working. The pizza was soggy and the sandwich had more bread than protein or vegetables. We will not return. read more

Have wanted to like this place, and have given a few chances. A few weeks back some coworkers and I decided to treat ourselves and of three meals, all were disappointing. Bacon was overcooked and the BLT sandwich was carelessly thrown together. The pizza crust was stale. The cookie was an odd combination of too soft inside and unpleasantly hard on the rim. The fries were soaking with oil and had no flavor. Customer service is always confounding, friendly but seemingly completely inept. All in all, just a very inconsistent place that I won't be taking a gamble on again. Especially not when Collective Kitchen is just down the street. read more

This place is amazing!! Great service, great location , and good food with awesome prices. Wouldn't recommend the bloody marry.

What was good: Everything was fresh. Staff was accommodating and kind. The mimosa was delicious! What wasn't: The staff was dressed entirely in pajamas. All of them. It's not like this was the uniform... They weren't matching or even similar. Food was bland. No sauce or seasoning on the paninis. Plastic cutlery. French toast was impossible to cut with a plastic knife. They had to go get me a pairing knife from the kitchen. Not sure it was worth cutting up though... It was like a combination of cinnamon toast crunch cereal and Capitan crunch. Chews up the inside of your mouth, is dry as heck and tastes overwhelmingly of cinnamon. Also... There is no espresso here???? read more

Stumbled upon this place walking around town with the fam - we decided to get a couple of paninis to go & eat at the park across the way. There were a few tables of families but not too busy for a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately our small order took over 25 min which was disappointing... maybe could work on the sandwich making speeds? Luckily, they have good beer on tap so we enjoyed a cold one while we waited - try the infidel IPA! The sandwiches definitely hit the spot when we finally got them. We got a turkey avocado & 309 chicken - bacon is a FREE addition on any sandwich... amen to that! My favorite part about the meal were the homemade chips - soooo good! Will definitely be back for the baguettes & to try the pizza! Super cute spot for lunch :) read more

The best place to get a salad on Sherman. Customer service was great! Have been at a conference in town for a week and so happy I found this restaurant. My friend had the chicken noodle soup and she enjoyed it as well. read more

Rustic - Sandwiches Near Me - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

All I can say is that here, we were eating for survival-not enjoyment. First off, they were out of everything. This would have been understandable, given its New Year's Day, but they didn't tell us until after we ordered, paid, and had been waiting for 20 min. After explaining that they were out of all we had ordered (Mac and cheese, sandwiches, zucchini fries, soup, salad... basically the whole menu except a bacon and peanut butter sand which). After settling, out of pure starvation, for the pb&bacon we received our food... another 30 min later. The 'panini' was not smushed together, the bread was folded back, and peanut butter was smeared across the plate and got all over us when we tried to pick it up. The sandwich itself had undercooked bacon and the only flavor we tasted was the charred bread. The chips that came with it were soggy, you could fold and bend them because they were so mushy. Hardly appetizing to say the least. We were excited to try this place, but boy did we regret eating here. On a positive note, the snickerdoodle cookie was mediocre. read more

In three words... Don't go here! The food wasn't great. Very bland! Service was about the same. Nowhere what you'd expect, when you pay almost $45 for two burgers and a kids Mac-n-cheese. Simply put, I won't be back and I'd suggest you save yourself the mistake. read more

This is a hip little burger joint on the main drag in Coeur d'Alene. It is a short walk (maybe three blocks) from the resort. It has a young and modern vibe. I had their burger with fries which were both delicious. The staff was friendly and the experience was good. We would go back again when in Coeur d'Alene. read more

So we came here on a Sunday night at about 745, they close at 9pm. We had a party of 10. When we went to order, we were informed that she was breaking the salad bar down, so we couldn't order salad (even though they are open until 9). We said ok, and tried to order pizza. Nope, no pizza either. Mind you, 7 items on the menu also had signs next to them that said "coming soon". Hmmmm... so what exactly can you order here then?? You can never remake a first impression, and after my first impression at this establishment, I will never come back. Spend your money somewhere where they actually want your business and care. read more

After reading previous reviews, I was on the lookout for some negative attributes, none of which I saw. All food handlers wore gloves and the food was delicious. I'll go back for a meal each time I visit CDA. read more

Employees are not happy people. They should cheer up and be happy to help customers. Ordered the taco salad. No meat, avocado or salsa as advertised on the menu. Asked for it to be fixed and they threw part of a burger patty on it. Will not be back. read more

Love Rustic anytime we are in CDA we come here for breakfast! Even at noon! Everyone is so nice and helpful! The owner is always there and is so lovely! I love that they don't require masks it makes me love them even more ! And for other reviewers, in Idaho you dont have to enforce masks... that's why I love Idaho if you don't like it then don't eat here and don't come to Idaho! read more

This place is amazing! Great food and great people. Cool space and the food is simple and delicious--and the bread!! I could probably eat the baguette with butter three times a day. read more

Let's start with what they do well. Bread. The end. There were two people in the restaurant at 10:15 on a Saturday morning. Every table was dirty. The 2 employees behind the counter were doing nothing. I ordered an omelette, you like raw veggies and cold eggs? You should go the Rustic. No cheese on your omelette? Perfect place to go. The extent of the "service" was pointing us in the direction of the coffee to serve ourselves after we sat down. Silverware? Don't forget to get it yourself as well. Both things that should have been shared when ordering. When I asked about the cheese on my omelette I was met with disdain from one of the "servers". The soda machine that is exposed to the table area? That was dirty too. Unfortunate since the location of Rustic is great, however I'll never be back nor will I recommend it to anyone. read more

Absolutely THE best NY Pizza anywhere outside of NYC. Freakin' awesomely perfect. I'd even say better than most slices you can get in NYC. Unreal how amazing these slices are! Fuggetaboutit!! read more

Great spot for lunch! Hubby had the burger and fries for $8.50 which came with a boat load of fries and a big burger. I had the caprese panini which was delicious. Great atmosphere! Clean (and very clean restrooms, too). Nice place for families. read more

Finally! Cda has needed a pizza by the slice place and we finally got one! This is a great lunch place, nice vibe inside, good prices. Can't wait to see what's next for them. read more

Rustic - Sandwiches Near Me - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

See all

We were looking for a place to eat after eagle watching and stumbled on to this neat little place. I had the half BLT panini and tomato basil soup and my husband had the turkey avo panini with the soup. Both sandwiches were fantastic and the soup was thick and tasty. We'll definitely be back! One drawback: People with respiratory problems may want to avoid due to poor ventilation. The cafe was a bit smoky from the grill. read more

Great location right downtown! One of the best burgers in town, and the side of fries is very large. Free Bacon on anything and everything!

Nothing 'rustic' here at all. Right as I walked in, a customer asked about their baked bread selection, disappointed, it's all just white bread. I got a veggie pizza, it was maybe a step above what I'd expect from a sporting event, crust is just ok, toppings are sparse. The gourmet veggie from Papa Murphy's is way better and only $18, compared to Rustic's meh-pizza at $21, I don't see the same value. It was not busy at all at 6pm on a Saturday evening, only 2 customers came in while I waited for my pizza. Both times the employees kinda looked around like they didn't know whose job it was to go to the register. The employees also kinda smirked when they realized they hadn't sold a single beer all day. At least 3 of 4 taps were goldens, pale ales, etc-- again, what's 'rustic' about that? I debated on 2 or 3 stars, and went with 2 because I won't be back. Forgive them for being relatively new and not yet 'finding their feet' but from the outside it looks like the concept is trying to slap an interesting, authentic-sounding label on very average quality food, the kind you're ok with at 2am after going to bars, but never there as a 1st choice. read more

Great little spot in downtown CDA. I ordered the turkey and avocado panini to go and ate on the road to GEG. The sandwich was great - good size portion, they didn't skimp in the meat and it even came with chips and a pickle. I would definitely make this place a regular stop in if I lived in the area! read more

Reasonably priced. Kid approved. Everything was delicious. We ordered Brie and Apple panini, Mac and cheese, pizza slice and a burger. Everything was great. read more

Great food, good prices, fast service. And of course most importantly, free bacon!!!! read more

If you have all the time in the world and are very hungry you might want to eat here. Food was so ,so but the service was bad . We ordered something and never got it. read more

Stopped by for lunch today. It was my first visit but won't be my last! Great soup and half a caprese panini. Super tasty! I appreciated that they had many vegetarian options. Service was fantastic! I took a cookie and loaf of bread home to enjoy later. Also, loved their use of local Litehouse dressings! Can't wait to return. read more

Fantastic burger and hand cut fries!!! Stopped by after hiking Tubbs Hill, what a pleasant surprise. Great customer service e and food in a casual relaxed atmosphere. Definitely coming back! read more

One star because after 30 minutes I'm still waiting for my to go burger. I hope it hasn't been on the grill that long. I know it's Mother's Day... but sometimes you have to admit defeat and warn folks or just take a pause and let the kitchen catch up! Now my wife is helping the staff find people who ordered. Some I think have walked. Paid and all. Dishes everywhere, no busing, no excuses. Get in the game Rustic. Maybe I'll review the food if I ever see it! read more

I bought Mac n cheese in a bread bowl and it was so yummy!!!! I also added bacon to the Mac n cheese because they let you add bacon to anything for free! So that was pretty awesome, too! The atmosphere in the restaurant is also really cozy and roomy. This is one of my new favorite joints in CDA! read more

We had amazing service from Jayden. She made our family's Valentine's day extra special.. Wish we could have tipped with our card; unfortunately we did not have cash. Thank you Jayden for making two boys Valentine's extra special! read more

Amazing food!! The paninis are so fresh and hearty, the taters are crispy and well done. I HIGHLY recommend this place to any and all.

Where is Gordon Ramsay? This place desperately needs him. Overpriced bland food, dirty tables, bad service, no clear vision of what they want to be. read more

Saturday night bummer Which was worse the cold loaded baked potato, the missing bacon on my burger, the butt of the onion served to me, the empty ketchup bottle, asking for napkins or THE INCREADIBILY POOR SERVICE. This place has a great menu, great potential however for a Saturday night pizza shouldn't take 45 minutes, you shouldn't be out of chicken and the wait staff should be focused on she customers NOT their social game. This was our first visit and will most likely be our last. It was truly a Saturday night bummer. read more
