Stopped here on the way to fish due to it's rating on Yelp. Rated best burger and fries in town. I have no doubt it is. No frills place with a small outdoor patio. One waitress/bartender handling it all. Great choice of beers on tap. Had to try the cheeseburger and it didn't disappoint. Tasty, great sauce, and soft/fresh bun. read more

Don't let the hole in the wall exterior fool you. Exceptionally CLEAN. Make the stop or you will regret it. Staff is incredible and makes you feel like a regular on your first visit, greeting you like a friend when you walk in. Awesome beer selection then you will get into the bites. They take great pride in the kitchen and put out some incredible wings and fries. Don't miss the burgers, they are exceptional. Miss this on and you will Grapple with the poor choices you have made in life. read more

What a cool little hipstery place hidden in St.Maries! Growing up I don't think places like this existed around the area so it's nice to have something different. They have many beers on tap, some burgers and loaded fries. The food was pretty good and the place was pretty busy! Our server was attentive. I would recommend this place for a a burger and a beer! read more

Don't stop here if you're expecting prompt service. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch around 1:30 PM with a party of four. Despite only having 16 customers in the restaurant, it took over an hour to receive our order. During this time, our server gave us little attention. Water was self-serve; they could have at least brought it to our table. The restaurant presents itself as offering "New American Cuisine," but it falls short. The food is processed and deep-fried, making it a poor imitation of the more successful and sophisticated establishments. If you're expecting a metropolitan gastropub experience, you'll be disappointed. You're better off going to a more traditional small-town diner, where you'll likely find better prices and avoid the letdown of unmet expectations. read more

We had dinner on Good Fiday at the Grapple. We were expecting greatness based on the reviews. We didn't quite get greatness, but we got good, even if it took a while to get there. We ordered two beers and received them 20 minutes after ordering them. Nice beer selection. Service was friendly, though very slow. Brought our poutine appetizer out with our dinners, which wasn't great. Sandwiches and burgers were pretty good. Fries are the new standard with the crunchy coating on the outside, which I despise. Poutine was good , but I didn't love the cold cheese curds that were part of it, just that they were cold. Restaurant opened their big garage door even though it was dinner in March in St. Maries, which was cool. Overall, good. No rush to get back but no reservations about going again. read more

Most of the actual reviews I do are for breweries. 180 of them so far. That's just my schtick. But The Grapple will probably be a regular haunt for us. There is a great deck outside with a view of the mountains over the St. Joe. The inside has about 10 tables and a wood stove in the corner for those chilly evenings. TG has some great local beers on tap. SWPFTD and I split a guacamole burger and fries to go with the beers. Yes, we split a burger. I'm trying to drop a few pounds ok? And I'd rather give up half a burger than a beer! Ok, anyway. The burger was really good. The beers were really good, and the young lady working the bar was very friendly. If you are coming through St. Marie's or hanging out for a few days I highly recommend you stop in. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! read more

IF you are ever fortunate enough to find yourself in the stunning little town of St Maries, Idaho (and it is pronounced like St. Mary's. I am told the locals will run you out of town if you don't pronounce it right) make sure you stop by the Grapple. We went for lunch on a slow and rainy day during our visit and the food was excellent. It is not an extensive menu but what they have is very good and the beer selection is very respectable. The bartender/server took great care of us and was very friendly. The place is small and basic but the food and drink speak for themselves. read more

I tend to get a bit prickly when I hear people say that you can't find good food in small towns, as that has almost never been my experience. My boyfriend, his brother, and I were hankering for a burger yesterday. My boyfriend mentioned Zips, but his brother and I wanted something different, so I jumped on Yelp and found The Grapple. It's a quaint pub with a small, but solid, menu. We had our choice of bar or table seating, so we chose the bar. Service was friendly and timely, and the restaurant, including the restroom, was clean. I was waffling back and forth between a burger and a salad, but they were out of salad ingredients, so that settled the matter. My boyfriend and I split the Black & Blue Burger, which was served with batter dipped fries. Everything about the burger was perfect. The batter on the fries gave them a nice crunch, but it needed much more seasoning. My only other gripe is that they only serve tea in a bottle. I'm thinking a pub should serve tea on "tap." 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 thanks to good service, cleanliness, and that amazing burger. read more

Winter is here and the Grapple has your back with a warm a cozy fire in the corner, tasty food and a good beer. We always enjoy the casual atmosphere and friendly staff while trying what new beers they have on tap. It never disappoints. read more

Me and my family came to this place while on a camping trip, the service was good, the food was good, and it's a nice little spot

Good food, great, friendly service. Hamburgers are sooooo good. Lots of different beers to choose.

Was in town got a growler full of brew from a local brewery don't you know. Met up with Sean needless to say I'll be back another day.

What a wonderful little gem found in the small town of St. Maries. This bar is a far cry from the typical St Maries bars and restaurant. It is almost something that you'd find in Seattle or otherwise. They have a large bar and many tvs. It's family run and you can tell they really care about their business. They also have pizzas that they cook fresh for you as well as popcorn. You can sit on their little deck outside also. Great place all around, especially for St Maries. Good job guys read more

No signage outside. But a very good hamburger and crispy fries. Long list of beers to.

Absolutely amazing. Best spot in the town of St. Marie's. Environment was one of a kind. Food and beer was great. View from the deck was spectacular. My family and I spent a couple hours there just hanging out, having beers, food, and chatting it up with some locals. This place also has alcohol slushees and wine if you aren't a big beer fan, and they are amazing. Highly recommend this place if you're staying in or near St. Marie's idaho. read more

I've been going to the Grapple for years, long story short the owners make this place what it is, because they care. It's hands down the best establishment to get a drink or food in St. Maries, maybe even in North Idaho. No smoking is awesome, it's clean, it's inviting and has great service, which is almost impossible to find. I don't live in St. Maries, but I find myself more than willing to make the drive out there for the experience the Grapple offers. read more

This place is amazing! The menu may be limited to burgers and fries, but they really bring them at the top of their game - you really should check out their menu. I had a burger with Bleu Cheese and Bacon, my guest had their Guacamole and Bacon burger. Perfectly cooked, and the flavors melded so well. And the FRIES: several options are available, I had the Buffalo fries (liberal amounts of hot sauce and bleu cheese sprinkles). Such a great combination! The beer menu that night was 10 draft selections, plus some hard cider and seltzer options - all were interesting and flavor (I had the sour guava beer, then a stout porter). Very clean, plus a large deck ideal for evenings! Definitely will be going back! read more

Growing up in St. Maries and later moving to Seattle, this place was a breath of fresh air to find out about. It's clean, lively, open, and have more than enough options of beer to pick from! Small snacks to eat along the way and patio seating was nice for the warm summer weather. Definitely recommend for anyone either from SM or out of town not looking for a grungey bar. Props for the new addition to town! read more
