The place is small but the food is incredible, from pizza to menu items. It is expensive though.

Was told by several locals to try this place. There was a party of 6 in our group and they didnt allow separate checks (which is understandable). so we decided to order pizzas. The waitress had a bad attitude and the tables were sticky, there was barely any ventilation, and it felt crowded. The pizza itself was not good at... More

We have eaten here a few times and while the food has not knocked our socks off, it has been good each time. The pizza is consistently good and the homemade desserts are excellent. A good find for the small town of Bonners Ferry.

Last night was one of a few visits to Papa Byrd's ~ we keep going back because the specials have always been exceptional! Whether their steak special (always prepared with a flavorful twist!) or the pasta special (fabulous - this brought me back the first time, and was my choice again last night ~ always different, and SOooo good!) ......

The restaurant is small, only 10 tables or so, but very warm and inviting. On a Friday night we had a fantastic Greek salad and Pizza that was some of the best we have ever had. What Luck that there was also live music. The service was fast, friendly and very helpful with menu suggestions which were spot on. It... More

Ordered pizza for take out. Pizza's are heavy and thick weight wise but good and tasty. Not heavy. Good taste. Would definitely return. Just enough spice but not quite enough sauce for our liking.

There isn’t much to choose from in Bonners Ferry but everybody we talked to in town recommended this place to eat and we were not disappointed. Excellent pizza, but don’t be in a hurry when you come here. It took over 45 minutes to get the pizza but it was worth the wait! The place has a typical pizza joint... More

We found ourselves in Bonners Ferry on our way back to Spokane from Waterton Lakes and Glacier National Parks. The recommendation from our motel was to eat at Papa Byrd. We, too, had a hard time finding it, and were about to give up when we saw two firemen on the street and asked for directions. We also asked if... More

This small restaurant is located in the old part of Bonner's Ferry and unless you're staying across the street it's a little hard to find -- but don't give up! You'll be so happy with your meal at Papa Byrd. We had a fabulous dinner here. My husband normally doesn't like salad, but he ordered a half order of lasagna... More

When we arrived the place was packed so we opted to sit outside and have dinner on the picnic tables. The Manager was our waitress and we couldn't have asked for anyone more delightful to take care of us. The food and service was excellent!!
