Welcome to Spuds

Everything Made From Scratch

If Spuds is one thing, it's fresh. Fresh in the sense that we make everything from scratch, from every dressing, sauce, and chutney, to elaborate soups and outstanding desserts. Spuds is also fresh in the sense that our classic menu is continually re-inspired by worldly flavors, regional style, and seasonal ingredients.

Our Story

A Sandpoint Tradition

Spuds Waterfront Grill started as a hole-in-the-wall potato joint by Peter and Gail Mico, known lovingly by locals as Spuds. There would be a line at the door and around the corner for our extensive list of homemade soups, fresh rotisserie meats, heaping fresh salads, crafted sandwiches, or baked Idaho potatoes with creative and gourmet toppings.

The original Spuds isn't entirely different from the established favorite on the water it is today. In fact, a select few of our trademark dressings have been the same since day one.

We adore the sophisticated touch of the West's best restaurants and honor the casual comforts of small-town North Idaho. Located in picturesque downtown Sandpoint, Idaho, Spuds' reputation extends beyond the shores of Lake Pend Oreille as an excellent restaurant for locals and travelers alike. Dock your boat on the boardwalk, bike up from the beach, pull in on your way to the mountain, grab something to eat while shopping.
