Tindall Faves: Burgers

The all-American classic: the burger. A lakeside town tucked in next to the Rockies is just the place you’d expect to have a great burger scene, and Coeur d’Alene does not disappoint.  

 

 

 

 

Nosworthy’s Hall of Fame

Once again, Nosworthy’s is our favorite all around establishment.  They are known for their burgers and they deliver every time. Everything is made to order, handcrafted goodness on a bun.  The Mootz Sister and King Kong are some of our favorites. For a keto friendly meal, try the Hoss burger with no bun. It’s excellent!  Be sure to come hungry too, as these burgers are quite the meal. We can’t say enough good things about Nosworthy’s. We love the food; we love the people there; and we just can’t get enough of our casual, old school Coeur d’Alene gathering spot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

Hudsons

Hudsons has been around for over 100 years.  Their food is tasty and simple; they don’t need any extra flair! Their location in downtown Coeur d’Alene is quaint and comfortable.  Their bar allows customers to watch as they hand slice pickles and onions for each burger. A double cheeseburger, taken to-go and eaten in the park is the perfect choice to fulfill those summer burger cravings. Despite being a very burgercentric restaurant, they also offer some great breakfast options and phenomenal pies for those with a sweet tooth!  There’s a reason they’ve been voted top 10 across America for burgers…they are simply the best!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         

 

Messy Burger

Located in Spirit Lake, Messy Burger has a great take on burgers.  They provide big, bold flavors in their small little location on main street.  The staff is always friendly and great at giving suggestions for what to order (there are A LOT of choices!) Their Drunken Cowboy and Southwest Mess are some of our favorite burgers there.  Grab a burger with fries and fry sauce and take it to go, or dine outside at their outdoor picnic table seating. There’s a reason this place is rated #1 for quick bites in Spirit Lake!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seasons of CDA

Seasons is one of the most upscale locations on our list.  With live music, a large bar, and a beautiful interior, Seasons is firing on all cylinders. Their menu is quite diverse, with burger and non-burger options.  All sauces for their burgers are made in house (we recommend their carmelized onion tarter!).Our favorite is the wonderful Kobe beef burger that is excellent with and without the bun.  With a convenient location right in the heart of downtown, and fresh local ingredients, it’s a no-brainer! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Penny’s Pit

If you are not looking you can drive right by this gem.  Penny’s Pit is located in Rathdrum in a little strip mall next to a gas station.  Based on the location, you might have some doubts, but trust us; this place is an absolute must-visit. Their burgers, sandwiches and really, anything you might like to order are out of this world.  This very tiny establishment, run by a husband and wife team, makes all their food to order with fresh and tasty ingredients. Their portions are massive, so don’t worry about leaving hungry. It’s hard for us to pick favorites because we love everything on the menu, but some of the standouts to us are the Sinatra with gorgonzola cheese, the James Dean, and the Naked Lady (for our keto friends.)  You truly can’t go wrong with anything you might order. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!
