The first inkling of an idea for the Sandpiper Restaurants came to original founder Bob Angell as he lounged on the beaches of California. While attending college he enjoyed watching the sandpipers darting in and out of the surf, and after graduation Bob moved back home to Boise, Idaho, where he opened the first of many Sandpiper Restaurants in 1971. From its humble beginnings in Boise, the Sandpiper grew until there were locations in Oregon, Arizona, and a total of four in Idaho. After several owner and management changes, there are currently two locations still open in Idaho. The Idaho Falls location was opened in 1974 by Ron Obendorf, who is still the manager. The Pocatello location opened in 1975 and has been managed by Rod Russell since 1985. Rose Anne Voigt came on as a member of the management team in 1995. Always intended to be casual fine dining restaurants specializing in steaks, seafood and pastas, the Sandpiper Restaurants continue to enjoy great popularity. Our guests have consistently bestowed us with Best Restaurant, Best Steak and Seafood, Best Fine Dining, and Best Date Place awards. Both locations offer outside dining during the beautiful Idaho summer and fall, as well as facilities for larger gatherings.

November 19, 2024Sbarro is my go-to spot for incredible pizza! The crust is always perfectly crispy, and the toppings are fresh and flavorful. I love that they have options for both meat lovers and vegans, so there's something for everyone in our group. Highly recommend!

October 7, 2024Sbarro was a great choice for dinner. The food was delicious, especially the pizza, but the service was a bit slow. That said, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice, so it didn't ruin the experience. Overall, I'd definitely come back.
