Spuds is a classic Sandpoint establishment! I got a BLT and some soup. Often, at restaurants, the soup is not super hot, but Spuds nailed it, delivering a steamy cup of tomato soup. The BLT was excellent as well. Service was fast. Ambience is a little dated but it does not detract from the amazing food in the least. A great spot when you're in Sandpoint. read more

"It's lunchtime! Where should we go? Hummm....there's s grill up the road, it's on the waterfront. Okay, let's give it a try, we can sit out on the heated deck and watch the snow. " This is how we ended up at Spuds You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Huge burger and fries. It was very tasty and just what we needed. read more

Make sure to tell them the temperature you want your burger cooked. They don't ask and serve it bloody rare. Serious attitude issues with the staff, borderline rude. Nice concept and presentation was decent. Staff needs to work for their tip, don't automatically give them one when ordering food. Hopefully, whoever is cooking can sample their Verde sauce next time they make it, before they serve it to customers. Won't be next time for me though . Also, bathrooms are dirty. The person before me did not flush, the floor was splattered with urine, toilet was stained with feces, and toilet paper was holder was empty. I had to clean the bathroom top to bottom before using it. I suggest they check the bathrooms more frequently. A clean bathroom, and friendly staff would have made it a more pleasant experience. The view is also not very pleasant. read more

This was our first time at Spuds. I've been wanting to go here for a while. It's a cute little place with great service. My husband ordered the turkey bacon club, and tomato bisque soup. I was able to snag a bite of both and they were both delicious. The turkey bacon club had a great sauce that gave it moisture, and the bread was still nice and soft. As for the tomato bisque, it was delicious! It was perfectly balanced and had a great texture. As for my potato, it wasn't as successful. It was swimming in butter and not in a good way. There was butter ladled on the plate, which would have been fine by itself but it seemed like my potatoes inside was dunked in butter as well. It was just too much. As for the cheese, it never melted and there was not enough of it. It seemed as though the cheese came out of the bag which normally has a stabilizer that prevents it from melting. That may be the case here or it just never got hot enough. Next time I will get the sandwich and soup combo. What was interesting about this resturant is you order at the counter and pay before you receive your food. What I loved was it was self-serve water. You had a choice between lemon water, cucumber water, or regular water. As for the restaurant, it was very clean and we sat outside on the back deck. The water was a little low but still a beautiful view. read more

This was a really good sandwich place. I'm sure they are good for other things, but that's what we had. The cider I had and light beer my wife had were great. The turkey on my sandwich could have been a bit more moist, but overall it was a good taste. Fries were not exceptional but good. If the weather is good , you should sit on the patio over looking the small tendril from the lake. It's a nice view. Not great, but nice. It was beautiful day when we ate there. The staff is great. We came when it was about to close, but we never once felt hurried or rushed. They were all very professional and kind. We'll be back when the hours are longer to enjoy some more good food, service and a nice view. read more

Normally an amazing place for either breakfast or lunch. Would have gone 5 stars but today's meal was well, a bit off (French onion soup without Gruyère cheese?). Ignore this one bad day and do give it a try! read more

So sad this place used to be worth the drive from cda, but they let seasonal employees with terrible attitudes set the tone for your dining experience and this is our second time encountering this there. Last time we ate there someone had a puppy on their patio, so we decided to bring our little dog this time, the nasty girl at the front delighted in telling us we can't eat there with our dog and tried to make us feel stupid by pointing to a sign that said service animals only, it's our mistake for not calling ahead and asking, but that behavior and attitude is completely uncalled for. read more

I always go there as my go to affordable and hardy lunch. I usually get their chicken pesto sandwich with a side of soup. Its been good every time. The outdoor seating arrangement is very pretty. The service is always good, waits are minimal, and it is very affordable. read more

Visiting from CA and decided to check out this spot for breakfast! Great food and great pricing for what you get. I tried the Monterey Jack sandwich and it was super good. Bathrooms were very clean and the vibe was welcoming and relaxed. Great job guys. read more

Spuds Waterfront Grill - Monterey Sandwich - American Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

Really like the view! Food is good and fresh. Great coffee and infused waters. Need to try this for lunch. Good value.

The owners really need to be reading these reviews. As a local with food allergies, I was excited to hear about their soup options. How disappointing to walk by time after time and see carpet and flooring that hadn't been cleaned in months?? The best part was ordering a potato and being informed they were out? Go to the store! Unacceptable and so gross. read more

Traveling through for work. Stopped in for quick late lunch. The person at the counter was very helpful offering for me to taste test the soups they had, for which there were 6 choices. I had a salad with wild caught salmon. It was good; red onion was overpowering rather than complimentary to the dish. Turkey soup was good. Water view with outside seating was nice! read more

I ordered a goat salad and a chile verde spud The chile verde was so spicy I could not even eat it my husband thought it was too spicy as well. When I went to the front to tell it was too spicy and ask if I could exchange for something else ( a cup of soup) they gave me the eye roll and refused, super bad attitude. Ambiance was nice but if your sitting inside you will get a good amount of traffic to the bathroom with a line waiting to get in, Needless to say we won't be back read more

Great soup and atmosphere. Friendly and efficient. Loved sitting out on patio. Wanted to go back but they were closed even though their website said open. read more

Had the baked potato with toppings and it was cold. You would think named Spuds they could get a potato right. All the help was extremely friendly and place was clean. read more

Food good......service weird.....Ambiance poGood....Cashier always grumpy been there many times not just a bad day.....we've owned & managed businesses for decades & the first rule is smile & say thank u, I hope u enjoy ur meal; unfortunately none of that has ever happened. Make the customer feel wanted. music atrocious!!!!!!!!!!!!! Injury to the senses! read more

I walk in and wait for the hostess to finish her conversation. She looks at me and smiles then turns and continues to talk. Once she's done she finally acknowledges me. I asked if there are any tables available and she rolled her eyes and stared at me. Didn't say anything. Rude and weird. I just left. read more

Large loaded salads, great sandwich options and excellent soup. We've been many times and are never disappointed. Highly recommend.

My favorite sandwich in town. Would highly recommend them for lunch. Lunch with a view during summer.

Great chicken verde potato! Friendly folks, good service. Nice view of harbor. Fun first meal in Sandpoint.

Seriously the best lunch in Sandpoint! All of the sandwiches are great and the Tomato Basil Bisque is to die for!! The spuds are also amazing just come prepared with a big appetite. The staff is super friendly and the environment is relaxed. read more

Food was amazing but the service was above and beyond. I requested catering and by mistake, the employee said yes but didn't realize they were closed for construction that day. The manager and staff informed me that they would still honor the order. They came in and filled the large order despite being closed. Now that is service!!! read more

The food was amazing. We, 5 ladies, ate our food before we thought to take a picture. They have vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options. We had salads, sandwiches, and a gluten free cookie. All we're eaten within minutes because they were so well prepared. The outside seating overlooks the lake marina. Can't beat the view. We highly recommend this establishment! read more

Best Spud ever. I had the Drag it Through the Garden and it was delicious! I loved the onion dill dressing! Definitely my new favorite place! read more

So I FINALLY got to eat here. Catching them open when you work a "typical" job is difficult at best unless you work right downtown Sandpoint and can slip in on your lunch. If you are able to visit, you shouldn't be disappointed. I was greeted by the owner upon my arrival and he patiently answered questions while I tried to make up my mind. They have a small selection of beer on tap and some bottled. I was impressed with the water station that offered not only iced plain but lemon or cucumber for that little extra freshness. I settled on a half sandwich and cup of soup but since I was hungry and this place IS called "Spuds" I opted to add a baked potato too...and yes, I did in fact eat it all. The sandwich was hearty and thick cut turkey as was the bacon. The bread he has made locally with his own recipe and was fresh and fluffy even being the end of the day. The tomato bisque was a great accompaniment and warmed me up. There were several soups to choose from. I'm glad I got the potato as it really hit the spot. It came loaded with 2 types of cheese, bacon, and sour cream all drizzled with clarified butter. If you'd like to control your amounts of toppings I suggest asking for it on the side. I love me some sour cream but it was a tad much. I'm very much looking forward to returning again and trying other things. Hopefully before tourist season starts although because I hear there can be lines out the door! read more

Didn't care for the ordering process as a first time visitor. Once we were through that I enjoyed the dining experience. Food was great.

Best breakfast in town! Afforfable, delicious and ample portions. Friendly staff and beautiful decor and location.

I really wanted to like this place. First, the service wasn't great. We had to wait fifteen minutes just to get some water and coffee. We had waited into the lunch hour so we asked to see a lunch menu and were denied only to watch the table next to us receive a lunch menu not even 2 minutes after we asked. We were never given refills on our drinks, never was checked on, and was overlooked among the other guests. We decided that we were just going to find another restaurant since the service wasn't great and we had waited too long. We then asked if they could just cancel our order. We were told that the food was actually done and we had to just take it to go. So we waited for it and as we were watching our server pack it up, we watched as they used their HANDS to package our food. We were disgusted to say the least and will not be returning. The worst money we've spent on a restaurant. read more

Great food with more than adequate portions. Nice variety. Had the quinoa bowl and it was delicious. Fries were fresh cut and crispy. Highly recommend read more

Like others have said, you order food, pick up your drink, pay, then go find a place to sit. This set up creates some competition for the outdoor seating on the water side. With COVID seating arrangements, this made the task even more difficult. We ended up sitting inside but even there seating is pretty limited right now, so we felt fortunate to get a table for our party of four. Food is brought to the table and currently delivered on a paper plate which is totally understandable given our current circumstances. I was a little disappointed that the sandwich is al a carte, meaning no chips come with the $10 sandwich. Chips are however available for purchase. All four sandwiches were excellent. The hoagie loaf was fresh, condiment spreads yummy, and all meat was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place, but best if during a slower period of the day or week. read more

They were super accommodating and the food was incredible! Highly recommend the Chipotle Sandwich. The burger was decent too.

We have been here several times. The food is always fresh and delicious. Portions are big enough to share. Will definitely keep coming back.

We stopped for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Great soups, flavorful sandwiches, huge salads, everything was fresh and delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive. They will let you taste the soups to help decide which one you want. They also have a deck out back if you prefer to eat outside with a view of the water. read more

Lovely service, even for a vegan, they made a hodge podge of vegan items to put on the spud, added guacamole for the 'sauce.' They have local beer on tap and wines for a nice meal on the patio overlooking the water. The sauce for the sandwiches is so good to take home as leftovers for dipping everything into! read more

Delicious little place that hit the spot! Everything was fresh and the service was fast and friendly! If you're debating on a salad of choice you must try the Ceasar! Very large portions as well! Be advised they are down the street and around the corner during the winter. read more
