Sandpiper Restaurants - Idaho Falls

The atmosphere is great here, and the food is absolutely delicious. The steak melted in my mouth. The french dip sandwich was to die for. The steak burger is huge and awesome. Our waiter was amazing and so attentive. He came and checked on us The perfect amount of times and was so courteous and helpful. There is outdoor and indoor seating. They serve alcohol. There are many TVS in the dining room If you want to watch sports as you eat. It is pricey, but it is worth it because the food was so delicious.

5 STARS for sure. Everything we had was amazing. The marionberry basilade was so refreshing, I love basil in my drink so this was perfect for me. The stuffed mushrooms were absolutely delicious. My mom had the pork shank and OMG it was huge!!!! She thoroughly enjoyed it and had a bunch to take home because there was so much, it fed her for 2 more meals. I had the surf and turf to sample a couple things and equally amazing. Ended with the creme brulee which had the thickest sugar layer I have experienced! We did get the mud pie to go and had it the next day and definitely will be getting that again. Overall, it was such an amazing dinner. Megan was our waitress and she was super awesome. We ended up getting some gift cards as well because they were on special. I will be back :)

The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because we ate the majority of the meal, and the waitress was nice. This used to be a good place to eat but has sadly gone downhill over the years. If this is what East Idaho considers good, then everyone is sorely lacking in a good restaurant experience. Im kinda shocked this place is even still in business, honestly. We had Prime Rib and Lobster. The menu said the horseradish was fresh grated and what came was creamy, with zero grated horseradish to be found. The lobster was very overcooked and chewy. The prime rib was tender but it was definitely reheated and the fat was cold to the touch. The Creme Brûlée we had for desert, was probably the worst I’ve ever had. For starters it wasn't even warm and lacking a lot of the rich flavor you expect with Creme Brûlée. The sugar topping was burned, bitter and so thick you could hardly break through the crust. We couldn’t even finish it. And sadly the mixed drinks we had were both very weak… I’m still not entirely convinced there was any alcohol in my daiquiri. All in all it was edible, but utterly not worth the prices they are charging. Very, very, disappointing meal overall.
