This place has the BEST fries ive ever had. They are fried in real natural beef tallow, no nasty seed oils. You can definitely tell in the flavor and texture. These fries are like cocaine, so addicting and delicious.nnTheir large prime rib is no joke - it's absolutely massive, and they know how to cook it too.nnThe 7 layer chocolate cake is also massive. Its super rich and sweet, definitely a multiple-night dessert.nnThe service is great, staff is always kind. Parking is available in the back or on the street. Bathrooms aren't great, as they look old, but they are kept clean.
We had such a wonderful experience dining at The Hydra Steakhouse in Sandpoint! From the moment we walked in, we were charmed by the warm, cozy atmosphere. The rustic wooden chairs and tables gave it a cabin-like feel, and the vintage artwork and quirky decor made the space feel both inviting and unexpectedly spacious.nnOur server, Brennan, truly made the evening special. He was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable - with a positive energy that made us feel right at home.nnAs for the food. We were pleasantly impressed! I had the Herb Chicken with steamed green beans, and I can honestly say it was one of the best grilled chicken dishes I’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned and juicy. I also have gluten and onion allergies, and they were more than accommodating, which was such a relief and made the experience that much more enjoyable.nnMy husband had the Fire Grilled Salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans, and he raved about how perfectly it was cooked - crisp on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside. My father-in-law went with the Seafood Fettuccine and practically licked the plate clean .nnBut the grand finale? The Mud Pie - a house-made Oreo crust filled with mocha nut ice cream and topped with rich chocolate sauce. My husband, a true mud pie connoisseur, declared it possibly the best he’s ever had. Every “this is my last bite” turned into another.nnThe Hydra Steakhouse was a charming surprise and is a must if you’re in Sandpoint. We’ll absolutely be back!
The food was excellent, once we finally were served. The place was half empty on a Sunday late afternoon. Three workers standing around in the fairly empty bar area. One directed us around the corner to the hostess. Having just entered from the patio area, we asked for a table outside. She said she didn’t think there was space but would go look. She came back and confirmed there was a table available. We sat down and about 15 minutes later, a server finally approached our table, even as a couple had been frequently attending to other tables. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. A while later, they finally arrived, together. The calamari was excellent. We both ordered burgers with fries. They too took much longer than expected. It was a nice evening and we enjoyed being outside. We were there around 2+ hours, far longer than planned for a simple meal in a fairly empty restaurant. While the food was delicious and the patio enjoyable, the service was severely lacking in punctuality. They were friendly, as a saving grace. Perhaps it had been a busy day and everyone was tired. Perhaps this is normal. Either way - excellent meal. Just plan extra time if you go there.
My boyfriend got the ribeye and thought it was only ok.nI got their prime rib dip and it was phenomenal. Portions were huge and the French fries were crispy and delicious!
We had an enjoyable dinner at Hydra Steakhouse! The service was fantastic even sitting in the lounge. We had shrimp cocktail to start, their homemade cocktail sauce is out of this world the extra hint of horseradish elevated the sauces flavor. We also had a filet with mashed potatoes and green beans, the filet is the best steak I’ve had in years, so tender. The green beans and mashed were phenomenal. We also had the Parmesan cod, it was not 100% up to our standards but we are extremely picky when it comes to fish. I would definitely recommend sticking to land instead of sea.
