Joel's Mexican Restaurant
Joel’s is a true family owned and operated Mexican restaurant located in the heart of down town Sandpoint. Jessica has eaten at Joel’s since her high school years and we both highly recommend their breakfast burritos. This place is a must eat if you’re visiting Sandpoint. They are only open during breakfast and lunch hours so get in early as they close between 3-4pm.
Second Avenue Pizza
Second Avenue Pizza is the local pizzeria that holds a special place in Jessica’s heart. It is located less than a block away from her childhood home and her family ordered from here frequently throughout her childhood. This pizza place offers a thick crust/hearty pizza that is perfect to feed many people and the ambiance in the restaurant is just as special as the pizza itself. If you’ve never eaten here before, you’re missing out.
Dub's Drive-In
Dub’s drive in is the local spot to go for burgers and fries, milkshakes, slushes and their locally famous soft serve ice cream. This is another spot that holds special memories for Jessica as this was the place the cousins would all go every summer for ice cream together.
The Float House
The Float House, or as the locals know it, The Floater is a floating restaurant located out near the marina in Hope on beautiful Lake Pend Orielle. This is a great place for dinner, cocktails and to watch the sunset.
Hoot Owl Cafe
The Hoot Owl Cafe is a beloved local gem. This casual cafe offers an extensive menu during breakfast and lunch hours. Their biscuits and gravy, hotcakes and any of their omelette options are sure to hit the spot.
