Quaint with comfortable atmosphere. All the meal selections at our table of 5 were fantastic. Will be fun to come back in slightly warmer weather and sit outside by the river :)

I could swear the eggs are not real but perhaps powdered. The weirdest texture ever today and the sweet potatoes were perhaps frozen and thrown in water and served soggy and barely warm. No crisp or crunch. Waitress made it right by brining reg potatoes but the whole breakfast was one of worst I have had and the cost $29 plus tip. Evan’s brothers coffee was good. Sorry! Wish I had a better review.

Such a gem! So much character. Love that it’s a back woods gas station with Amazing food.

I've been eating here for 18 years when it was more of a general store that you could get a bite at, rather than the amazing restaurant that it is now. Top notch food out of the most unlikely place. If you give this place one star, you are just a miserable person who can't be satisfied and you should just go somewhere else anyway. Love the food, vibe, and atmosphere!

Having one waitress on a busy Saturday morning is completely unacceptable. Service was not good.

Absolutely delicious brunch! It’s small, and popular (for good reason), so expect a wait. Staff are friendly and will do their best to get you seated right away. I love that they use local sourdough for the avocado toast, yum.

This place was highly recommended, so I drove 22 miles to eat here.When we arrived we realized it was a gas station diner. There was barely any parking, so I parked far away.When my friend and I entered the building we were greeted at the register and told to seat ourselves. We sat down and were given menu's, the employee that sat us was kind. However, after minutes of waiting- our waitress brings out our waters. We thank her for the water and she ignores us. She immediately starts cleaning the table next to us and then without looking at us says in a condescending tone, "By the way, outside drinks are not allowed in the restaurant. I didn't even know she was talking to us as she wasn't looking till she said, "I am going to charge you for a large soda unless you bring it outside."My friend and are were stunned because we didn't think much about her half drank energy drink on the table.We decided to leave after this because her comment completely killed the vibe of the restaurant. If she had been kind about the drink, we would have stayed.

This probably is a better place than I experienced today. I asked for Lemons for my water 3 times. It took about 20 minutes to get Lemons for my water. I had to go to the counter to ask again. The waitress remembered just before we were finished eating. The fish & chips- not so good. Tartar sauce was delicious but I couldn't get a lid to take it home with me. The sandwiches and fries were good, but pricey.

A pleasant surprise place to eat in Sandpoint Idaho. My family had breakfast there in August 2023. It was good. No complaints.

The tasting menu is a formal event where Chef Alex serves a predetermined menu of several courses and dessert for a set price of $130 (before tax and tip). Drinks were not included, but wine and beer were available for purchase. The courses were interesting and beautifully presented. The dinner lasted 3 hours. With each course, Alex explained what he had prepared and how each dish was cooked. The appetizers were fabulous. Everyone at our table loved the scallops, goat cheese soufflé, and cherry tomato soup. Our opinions became mixed with the third course. The salmon cake was a little dry for a few of us, and the meat dishes were cold when they were served. The plates were not warmed. For this type of event and the price, I would have expected the food to be delivered hot. Both the duck and lamb in addition to being cold were tough but presented well. For this event, complete strangers will be seated together. Luckily for us, our tablemates were interesting and entertaining. Overall, I enjoyed the event and service was excellent, but going forward, I'd rather spend the money on a romantic dinner with only my husband at a high-end restaurant ordering just a few dishes.

This is our favorite place to eat lunch after horseback riding. The service is always so friendly, even when busy. The store is so cute and old timey. The sandwiches are always sooooo delicious. Fish and chips are good. Salads are fresh and delicious.

I’ve never fell in love with a restaurant as quickly as I did this one. It’s a hidden gem on the peaceful pack river with the MOST AMAZING food in all of the greater Sandpoint area. The pancakes are PHENOMENAL- they somehow taste like cake yet are your classic fluffy delicious pancake. The eggs Benedict is utterly delicious and unique. Everything I’ve had here so far has been 10/10 and the fries… oh don’t even get me started. I will go here just for fries and only fries. And the people are so kind!!! Love this place!
