I visit several times a month. The chicken fried steak is outstanding. Burgers are excellent and staff is friendly and efficient! Hoping to see the menu expand with tasty items

This place was a cool and friendly respite from the heat of the day. After floating down the river I came in here to escape the sun and grab something to eat. I had a roast beef sandwich, which canlme acanthus as one would expect and tasted fresh. The service was very thorough, pleasant and fun. I heard them talking a lot about the history of the place which is really neat. There are all kinds of fun old things to look at in the restaurant. I world definitely come back! !

We were in on Saturday night. Ordered dinner at 5:45 pm. Friends arrived at 6:50 and our food had not been served. They ordered and we were all served at 7:20 pm. We had to send two orders back to the kitchen for being cold. The one was especially gross, hot turkey sandwich and the gravy was refrigerator cold and the turkey was room temp. They fixed it by pouring hot gravy over it. I hope this was just an incredibly off night. We dropped $200 on dinner and it was one off the worst meals I have had in my life. PS they must have spilled the salt shaker in the brown gravy. The large chicken fried steak was about 2/3 the size of the one at the Cataldo Inn.

We're not from this area but a friend suggested we stop in the Snake Pit for dinner. This place has a history with a rustic cabin feel. The place was about a 3rd full. Not bad for a Thursday night. We were immediately treated very friendly. Although our intentions were to have steak, after reading the menu, I had shrimp my husband had chicken. The food was prepared to perfection. What I especially liked is the food came out HOT. Not just warm as in other resturants. When the chef had a moment she came out to check if our food was good. We would defiantly go there again.

Stopped in after 30 mile bike ride on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene. We ordered Chili Burgers, Pulled Pork sandwiches, and Burger. Good food and service. Will make that a regular stop.

Maybe for a drink, because it's a unique place, but the food and service was awful.

Friendly, quick service. Very family friendly. Good selection of beer. Buffalo burger was dry - but that isn't unexpected. Recommend rainbow trout. Mashed potatoes with brown gravy was luke warm. Salad bar was fine. Huckleberry ice cream, which comes at the end of all meals, was fantastic. Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong are a plus.

Just reopened with new owner. Closed quite a while after the last owner passed away. They cleaned everything but kept the same great historic atmosphere. The food is good too. We shared the chicken fried steak and it was more than enough for both of us. Neighboring table was saying how yummy the burger is. Highly recommend for good comfort food served with pride in a great atmosphere. This place is truly a local treasure.

I can't believe I forgot to review this last summer!! If you visit North Idaho you have to stop by this place for it's history, local color and just down right fun! It is a great place to go after being outdoors. We went hucklebuckin' up in the mountains close by and stopped by here for an ice cold Kokanee. This place is over a 100 years old and has a long history. It was a ...a... uh ... how do say....hmmmm..... a whore house. Unfortunately, because of the recent economy they had to shut that part of the business down. This is the type of place that is charming and hoking with out even trying. It is like stepping back in the past. This is a truly u nique one of kind place. It is a bar and restaurant. My uncle Ken said I had to try the Rocky Mountain Oysters... The food comes out and I get the "oysters." Took a bite and I said "it tastes like fish." My Uncle Ken said "What's wrong with you, give me a bite." He then said, "that tastes like fish!" Apparently, the waitress gave us the wrong order and we were eating fish! The fish fillets are somewhat similar looking to the oysters. That was worth a good laugh. I finally got the oysters and they were well - balls. I would say they were somewhat similar to calamari. I could never eat them again and not get upset. The food here is okay. Ice Cube said a Good Day is "a day with no barking from the dog, no smog and mama cooked a breakfast with no hog." I would say a good day is "picking huckleberries - going to the snake pit and washing down balls with ice cold beers"

Stopped in here with family after some exercise along a nearby trail. Good call, Dad! Everything was delicious (bacon cheeseburger, buffalo burger, club sandwich, and grilled chicken sandwich special of the day) and I loved looking around at all the cool things on the walls: photos, kitchy artwork (a painting of a semi w/ real christmas lights poking through- fun!), a collection of plates. The fireplace is huge and so cozy. The workers there are just the sweetest ever. One grandmotherly lady even came by our table to kiss the boo-boo on my dad's bald head. How cute is that? After our meal, we were given free huckleberry ice cream, which I'd been wanting to try during my week-long visit to the area. Looking forward to patronizing this place on my next visit.

"....served as a boomtown bar, railroad layover, hotel, house of ill repute, and starting point for loggers and miners of yesteryear." The BBQ here is really good and they pride themselves on a lean buffalo burger. Be aware the "oysters" here are not of the coastal variety. The seedy past is still spoken of with lots of pride and the ability to get people drunk is unsurpassed in this part of the US. Great for a summer tourist stop as well as a apres ski spot with it's giant fireplace and warm regulars.

I've been to the Snake Pit twice. I almost gave the place two stars because the service was great the second time and my meal was taken off my bill because I wasn't satisfied with it. Still, the entrees I ordered both times left much to be desired and I just can't justify a second star. A few years back, the Snake Pit was featured on a Food Network show. Since I live about 75 miles from the place, a friend and I decided to make the trek and try it out. We waited an inordinate amount of time to order, around thirty minutes, then for our BBQ - about an hour. When it comes to real BBQ, it's not cook to order. Either they have it, or they don't. Found out later into the meal that they were slammed with HS graduation parties. Still, that doesn't excuse the pool of blood on my plate from the "BBQ" chicken I ordered. The chicken parts that were edible were exceedingly dry and tough. My friend and I decided to give the place another shot this last Saturday. A few things were different - there was a salad bar to start with and it was pretty good, the service was excellent and our meals came out quickly. We both ordered the BBQ chicken with "buffalo chips" (deep-fried potato slices). It went downhill from there. I went for the drumstick first. The meat was dry and stringy. The skin was limp and slippery. Next, I started in on a thigh, but not wanting to eat any more of the skin, I removed it. The thigh was also dry and stringy and I finished about half of it. Went onto the breast next after also removing the skin. Dug the fork in, pulled out some meat and took a bite. The meat was fully cooked this time (no pools of blood), but also refrigerator-cold. At this point it occurred to me that I was likely served yesterday's chicken inadequately warmed over and served at full price. To top it off, the "buffalo chips" were not served crispy-golden as the server suggested they would be, but were instead greasy and limp slices of potato. My friend ordered the same, but didn't end up with cold meat. Afterward, he characterized his meal as chicken jerky. I know how to make real BBQ - chicken, pulled pork, ribs, brisket, etc. It takes a while to make it right. A whole chicken requires about 120-150 minutes of cooking. Once it's done, it should be fall-off-the-bone tender. If done right, it should still be pretty tender the next day even after refrigeration and reheat, though the skin won't be so great at that point. I don't know if the Snake Pit smokes whole chickens and cuts the pieces apart or tries to smoke the individual pieces (really bad idea IMHO). If you're going to run a "BBQ" joint, you need to recognize the realities of BBQ - that you need to plan ahead for what you'll need to serve and cook it fresh each day. If you run out, you run out. If you make too much, you find something to do with the leftovers that doesn't involve reheating it and serving it at full price the next day (or later?).

This place was a one of our stops during our bar hopping out in the sticks. Just had drinks there and some rocky mountain oysters. Never had the oysters before, but they were edible. I mean they just tasted like fried meat :) Overall, had a good time there and I'll probably never go back, but I'm glad i got to go there.

We heard this was the "local flavor" and that all tourists and locals alike had to try this place. I went with my local relatives and I think we could all agree it was definitely characteristic of Idaho. The menu had alot of "exotic" meals that you wouldn't find in other parts of the country like buffalo burgers and rocky mountain oysters (didn't venture far enough to try those). The decor was also very western feeling, with mounted heads and other stuffed animals everywhere. Had a huge fireplace and lots of handmade looking chairs. Only downside was the service was a bit lacking. I didn't get my drink until after I got my food, which took a while to make anyway. I ususally like friendly, personal staff, but when they get so laid back that their service suffers it kinda bums me out. It could have been a bad day, but I'll rate it on my one experience and upgrade it next year when I go back.

The atmosphere is good. A true local dive that has been around since I was a child. Famous for the rocky mountain oysters. Steak was pretty good. Salad bar, just so-so.
(4)Brent T.
Delightfully tacky . That's the best way to describe this place. If you want some good casual comfort food, this is your place.

The Snake Pit is a GREAT place to eat for both kids and adults! The menu has loads of things to choose from, excluding vegetarians. The beer selection will satisfy, the service is ALWAYS extremely friendly and nice, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I don't think I have ever visited another restaurant with more fun things all over the walls. There are miner's hats, dead animals, beer advertisements, old pictures, and all sorts of other fun items. The food ALWAYS leaves me full and completely satisfied too. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE passing through the area!

Been going to the Snake Pit for thirty years now, and I'm happy to report it hasn't changed a bit! You know what you're gonna get when you ring the bell with the door. Not great food, but good. Not good people, but great. Beer is, well, beer. Priced right and you're always welcomed with open arms.
