    “The best restaurant in Idaho Falls! The food is awesome and the staff is friendly! Many great menu options and there is a great view of the snake river! Highly recommended!”

  • L. W.

    “Right along the Greenbelt, this restaurant isn't in the heart of downtown, but it's just on the other side of the Snake River. The food was delicious. I opted to sit outside, and I definitely recommend it if it's a nice day. While I was there, the local waterfowl was visiting tables lol. The service was wonderful as well.”

  • T. Barth

    “Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service! Will definitely eat there again the next time we visit!”

  • D. Cameron

    “Took my wife here twice for her birthday - separate years - top notch steak, succulent seafood, great escargot appetizer. Lots of seating inside and outside. We did inside once, outside the other time. Great views overlooking the Snake River. Very attentive service. The mud pie is a huge dessert. Great for celebrating.”

    “Sandpiper is a solid staple of a Idaho Falls when it comes to dependably high quality dining! The location along the river makes it a relaxing and lovely place to have dinner in the spring, summer, and early fall months! If you want to eat outside when the weather is lovely, do get their early though as it’s popular and fills up quickly!”

  • F. Handlebars

    “This is our go-to restaurant for date night in Idaho Falls. The food is always super savory and delicious. This time, we treated ourselves to the roast lamb with the mint sauce. It was so tender. The mint sauce complimented it well. We had a full course meal that included the appetizer platter and sorbet as well. We will see you again soon!”

    “My favorite restaurant in town! Love the patio, great service and bartenders. Delicious food! The cream sauce for the walleye is my favorite.”

  • M. Lenox

    “Sandpiper is one of our favorite restaurants in Idaho Falls. My wife loves the trout and I’m a huge fan of the prime rib. The chocolate mousse is the perfect desert. The patio is the perfect place to have dinner on a warm summer evening. It’s so nice. Service is always good. Parking is tight sometimes. Get there early if you want a seat on the patio.”

  • K. Allen

    “Really wonderful place for dinner, their rainbow trout is fantastic and it's so nice to site by the water to enjoy your meal.”

  • K.
