Cougar Dave's Food & Spirits

We have eaten here before a few times, and really liked their burgers and the turkey club on sourdough, but tonight we ordered just dessert for take out to satisfy a sweet tooth. It was the worst value dessert in the areas of quantity, quality and price. Cost $20 for the puniest and worst apple pie ever (dough was raw), and a very little piece of brownie that ended up being just uncooked brownie batter. At least I like brownie batter. The “bourbon caramel sauce” is just like Smuckers caramel sauce in the bottle. My husband and I were actually shocked they sell dessert like this and at $10 a piece. Stick to the burgers, and drive to McCall for dessert …you’ll save money even with gas and get something much better quality and quantity.

Hands down the BEST Patty Melt I've ever had in my life! The onions were flavored like they were pulled out of French onion soup. Cooked a perfect medium temp, served on a toasty marbled rye. Pure perfection! Kaylie was a very pleasant bartender/server. Top Notch staff, chef and owner.

This was the BEST place that we have eaten at in our 5 day visit!! Tried other local restaurants & was not impressed. Will be returning! Actually had fun communicable Servers DELICIOUS Food, & the cutest atmosphere. Restrooms said Hen & Roosters! Loved that 🤣 Definitely Try this place you won’t be disappointed!!

Old school bar and restaurant.
Super quick and efficient the night we visited.
Cocktails were fast and well made.
Check out the house specials.
Food came out super fast as it was not busy.
Mix of locals and tourists.
Would go back again for sure.
Ribeye was cooked just the way it was ordered, pastrami in rye was large and good.
Fries are outstanding.

Great service, super friendly waitress. Food was great overall.

Rueben sandwich was phenomenal; came with Onion rings which were good.

Chicken fried steak was decent but probable wouldn’t get again; came with scallop potatoes which were delicious.

Huckleberry Hummer drink was delicious and strong.

Regular mojito was ok but nothing exciting (stick to their specialty drinks they’re known for).

Potato Skin Appetizer I would skip.

Atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect from a place named Cougar Dave’s ❤️ Somewhere between sports bar meets saloon meets mountain cabin restaurant.
