With a nice view outside, this place is missing an opportunity to capitalize. Clean the filthy windows for Pete's sake! My pulled pork sandwich was lukewarm. Husband liked his pastrami sandwich on nice marbled bread. Short staffed, noisy and just overall disappointing. Bathrooms dark and dirty. Just needs a major clean and some LTC. I don't blame the staff as they seem spread thin but management should spend some money on cleaning.

We were quickly greeted in a genuine "I'm glad you're here vibe!" We got seated and drinks immediately. We all went with the Boondocks burger and it was very tasty and cooked just right. While the atmosphere is simple... the service and food were really good! We will be back next time we hike in the area. Great people running this place!

An acquaintance of mine brought me here one day. I've seen it driving by, but hardly notice cars…read morethere so wasn't sure if they were open or just limited hours like many struggling small businesses are. This place is worth the stop, just don't expect an updated or even typical bar atmosphere as its bare bones functional. This place serves a real decent burger with nice crispy bacon! The thick steak fries are absolutely the bomb! I do look forward to trying other selections. There was a little less than steady flow of a lunch crowd coming and going, mostly locals "in the know". They have a pool table and a couple monitors for sports. Please stop in, tell friends, and help support this quaint and convenient grill on your next trip into Sandpoint or Coeur d'Alene as it's on your way right off the highway next to the gas station.

The Order: General (burger) + Loaded Brisket Fries…read more First off... Online ordering... aka ScrollFest 2026... worked great, even if it felt like filling out a mortgage application. A heroic amount of options. I'm sure some folks love that level of control, but by the end I half-expected a personality test. On a phone? Absolutely unhinged. Desktop was survivable... barely. Pickup: Online said 30 minutes (6:23pm). Reality said "Nah, we're done already" at 6:09pm. Credit where it's due... glad I went down early so the food didn't turn into sad leftovers before I even met it. Presentation: Burger and fries looked good. No shame there. Instagram wouldn't have laughed at me. The General (Burger): Unfortunately... dry. Not send-it-back dry, but definitely "thank God for pickles" dry. The pickles did some real heavy lifting, adding the only noticeable zip. BBQ sauce and ranch were apparently present in spirit only... I saw a drip, but my taste buds never got the memo. Result: A decent burger. Not bad. Not memorable. Certainly not something I'd text a friend about like "BRO YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS." Loaded Brisket Fries: Flavor? Good. Sauce? Tasty. Execution? Eh. For $12, the portion felt a little "is this the appetizer?" The fries could've been warmer and better mixed... instead it was more like scavenger hunting for bites that had everything together. The deep-fried cheese curds were legit but borderline fork-vs-curd death match. That plastic fork never stood a chance. Outsides were pretty crusty... almost too committed to the crunch. Overall Verdict: Good food. Nothing offensive. Nothing that screams "come back often." If I'm nearby and hungry... sure. If I'm choosing a place intentionally... probably not. Final Score: 3.5 stars... rounding up to 4 because I believe in grace. Solid effort. Some wins. Some misses. No fireworks. Would eat again... but only if someone else picked the place and I didn't have to scroll for 10 minutes first Ambiance: N/A. Consumed at home where the lighting was good and the floor was not sticky.
