Reviews for JB's Restaurant in Coeur d'Alene, ID

Well I'm trying different restaurants around town. I'm sorry but I can only rate the dinner I had a two star. Breakfast was a... little better as it was a buffet. I have a friend who works there he told me it depends on when you go because there are twocooks. One is better than the other. I will say that it is always busy. Read more

The food was great. We asked to split a plate, unlike most places it was served divided. Waitress was very friendly. Thanks... Teresa! Read more

Good service, average food, restaurant badly in need of an upgrade. Men's room is really bad. Staff seems upbeat and happy to... work there. Our server has been there for 9 years. Please clean this place up and show some pride in ownership. Read more

Very disappointed, super slow service, our meals took way too long, and were all overcooked. Server was super nice though.

Excellent service and kids enjoyed the breakfast buffet that included pancakes and waffles. We will be back!

13.00 breakfast buffet. Pretty fair for a buffet. I took several pictures to show you how it looks. One thing I do recommend is... the made to order French toast they offer. It's filled with sweet creme; like eating a custard filled donut yummy. I just lovesweet stuff. I like some stuff better than others. Read more

Whoops , I ate half of it before I remembered to take a photo! Super good breakfast! The "country" potatoes are actually... fresh, fried potatoes (with or without onions). The Country Fried Steak was the best I've had in a while. You can tell they'rehand breaded. Super sweet server ( : we'll be back! Read more

My fiancé and I used to love to eat here largely because of the salad bar. Then the pandemic hit and a lot of places closed.... Some reopened on a much smaller scale in terms of hours and menu options. JB's is one such place. We were excited that theybrought the salad bar back. Or so we thought. My fiancé has stomach cancer and can't eat very much, so the salad bar was theperfect choice. We even called to confirm it was up and operational including fruit. We were told it was. Uh, yeah. Nottrue. What was actually there was a breakfast buffet with some fruit. No salad like we had been told. He ended up just having a$5 lackluster strawberry milkshake. I ordered the "French dip." I will give kudos to the chef who came out to confirm how Iwanted my onions cooked (carmelized) and he did come back to see how it was. It's almost impossible to caramelize chopped onionsmixed with shredded roast beef. To be honest, I expected long pieces of onions, not onion mixed into the meat. Furthermore, thesandwiches were served open faced and had so much meat on them, I couldn't close it without removing some of the meat. The bun,while toasted on the inside, simply wasn't able to hold up to the meat ratio and the meager amount of au jus. But, he did getpoints for effort. Another time we ate. We had the "manager's special," a "Monte Cristo." Let's just say, it wasn't. It wasmore like a grilled ham, turkey, swiss sandwich with the bread being French toast. It did have powdered sugar on it, but a MonteCristo is supposed to be dipped in egg wash and fried. It is also supposed with some sort of jam to dip it in. Lingonberry andraspberry are the most common choices. What was presented was strawberry jam packers. NOT dippable by any means. The strawberrywas fine in terms of taste, but you are not supposed to use a utensil to spread it on your sandwich like regular toast. For us,these are major misses and, in spite of how nice the cook is, means we most likely will not return. ?? Read more
