1 of 2, full-on sports bars, in CDA (that I know of). The other is Capone's. Â While they are both great at what they are meant for, they couldn't be more different. Unlike, Capone's, this sports bar is huge and has a more open and roomy feel to it. Capone's is more of a local's place that's a bit more inviting and cozy with 3x the beer selection on tap. Deciding which one is "your kind of place" is going to require you visiting each one. Â I like them both.
Review Source:DO NOT ORDER THE OYSTERS! Wish we had read the reviews before. We had the pan-fried oysters and I think they use their old oysters for those. They were greasy and mushy and had a funny flavor. Should have sent them back. The cod fish and chips have a very thick batter on them, but the cod was good. The sandwiches other tables had ordered looked good. Bottom line-there are better places in Coeur d'Alene to eat. Don't waste your time & money (and digestive system!).
Review Source:We just drove into town and were looking for a place to grab a bite and a beer. This place in many ways felt like a dark and grungy Bennigan's. It is probably a fine place to grab a beer and watch a game but if you are looking for more than that, I would go elsewhere. Service was horrible and the food was okay at best. We later noticed that they might have a nice patio out back but I doubt we will be back.
Review Source:Brand new in town ... wandering around, looked like a nice place from the outside, wasn't overly crowded. Â (A few other places nearby, I couldn't even get a seat .... should have been a clue).
Place was half full. Â Picked my seat, ordered a beer ... took a while to get it. Â Ordered a pizza ... was average at best. Â Still service was slow. Â Took forever to get a second beer, took even longer to get a check. Â I would have bypassed the second beer if I'd known it was going to take so long to have to pay. Â If it's busy or the servers are short, I get it. Â But I saw my server spending a good amount of time hanging out at the bar rather than tending to his customers. Â
With many choices downtown, I doubt I'll go back.
Well having eaten and drank here two dozen times, I feel I finally need to say something about this place. I like the beer! I love the shots!  I like the servers! The oysters are pathetic however. Never will I ever get them again. They are always small , taste like crap and appear to have been frozen. The food is hit or miss. The burger sliders can be good, or really bad. The ahi salad is usually good. I do like the club sandwich and their fries are average. I have not had good luck on any of their steaks. They used to have  open mic and always a small band, check to see if that is still on but the sound can get over the top loud...too loud due to its small area where band plays. They do have outdoor seating with tvs for any game. Great in the few months of summer you have in Cda. This could be an awesome place with a few adjustments to it. They do have kids eat free nights which can help a parents budget. The fireplace is the place to dine when chilly outside. Not a must visit place when in Cda, but its not a  bad place to get stuck at either.
Review Source:I've ate here several times. Always a great experience except for once when we had a crowd of 15 on the patio, even then I thought it was reasonable. My family comes over around Christmas, cause they love Coeur D' Alene around Christmas time. We've ate here the last 2 holidays. I've lived in Spokane for almost 5 years, and this is the restaurant I've ate at the most. Only found it 3 years ago too. I will come back several times throughout the year.
Review Source:We heard Crickets was the place to go in Coeur D'Alene for oysters. We went in at lunch time, only one other table had customers. The hostess told us to sit wherever we wanted and followed us to the table. We were in the process of sitting down when we realized the table was dirty and covered in crumbs. The hostess says something to the effect of "you guys picked the only table in the place that's dirty". Not true, but anyway... we were already seated so we assumed she would come back with a cloth to wipe down the table. Never happened. She returned with our drink order and asked what we would like. When we ordered oysters we were told they were out of oysters, they had a really busy night the night before. So we politely told the waitress we were there for the oysters and if they were out we would go elsewhere. They're an oyster bar right?? And they were out of oysters. On top of that, obviously no attention to cleanliness and customer service. We will not be going back.
Review Source:I ordered the Reuben (as usual) and it was very good. The bread was a little too thick and overcooked just a touch but the flavor was good and the meat was tender. My wife ordered the fajitas and was pleased with them. The portions were decent and the price fair for the quantity and service. All-in-all a nice place to grab some grub. Also sitting on the patio had a nice view of the park and lake.
Review Source:The prices seriously high for reheated FSA grub. My Bloody Mary had a stupid giant piece of celery in it... awkward. I thought they would have some special take on.. well anything. but, its just like a less successful Applebees in there, with similar music and ambiance.
nothing special at all.
Went in for a lunch on a Sunday. Â Was told we could sit anywhere, so we sat in the quiet restaurant part away from loud tv's. Â We were then told to get out of this area because there was no waiting staff for it? Â The kitchen is in this area! It made no sense. Â So we had to sit by loud tv's, food was just so-so, and prices are a bit much. Â Haven't been back since....
Review Source:We have been to Cricket's several times during the past few years. Â It is conveniently located and the food is fine...average. Â However, on our last visit, the food was sub-par and the service was absolutely aweful. Â We tipped 15% according to the service we received. Â When I received my credit card statement, I was shocked to see the restaurant had added to the total we authorized. Â We were not a large party, so there was no automatic addition of gratuity. Â I called the restaurant three times to dispute the charge. Â Each time I was told a manager would call me back...that never happened. Â I disputed the additional charge with my credit card company. Â Unfortunately, the money refunded to me will not come from Cricket's. Â I'm sure the bad service was anomaly, but dishonesty and poor management follow up is unconscionable. Â I will never return to this restaurant.
Review Source:Stopped in this place during a little jaunt to Coeur D'Alene while visiting some friends in Spokane. It's a seat yourself kind of place (at least it was during lunch on a Saturday) so it took us a minute to get noticed by our waitress. We decided to eat at this place because they advertised "duck farts" outside...so we had to see what they were about. They are little shots of Kahlua, Baileys and Crown...my boyfriend really enjoyed his! We all ordered different meals and everyone seemed to enjoy them except my friend who ordered pizza. He described it as "boring". Other than that my halibut sandwich was delicious (of course a girl who lives by the ocean orders fish when she goes inland...). We ordered a round of Bloody Marys with lunch, and they were delicious! Probably one of the best i've ever had.
The only downside was that the bathrooms were clean but I was weirded out by the brown splatter paint on the door... gross!
Recently had lunch here. Â (Who knew this LA girl would ever step foot in the state of IDAHO?) Â The service was great, and my salmon was accompanied with this creamy, yummy sauce - don't ask me what it was called, I was too busy scarfing it down... Â
Deducted one star for falsely advertising clean restrooms. Â Can a girl wash her hands with some soap, please...C'mon!
