Welcome to Downtown @theburgerdock!
The FIRST Burger Dock opened in 2019 in Sandpoint, ID, but the story goes back to 1982 when the Anderson Family purchased property in Sandpoint. The Anderson's were always hosting summer gatherings for their friends and neighbors, which is how they met Savannah Pennington, their now business partner!
They offer high-quality, homemade food; everything is fresh and made to order. Their patties are blended and pressed in-house featuring locally sourced, steroid, and hormone-free meat from Wood's Meat Processing, based in Sandpoint, Idaho. Their fries are also cut in-house and are never frozen and in-house made fry sauce!
We look forward to having you Downtown for years to come! #localhelpinglocal #cdadowntown
Bring on the cheese! Tickets to the Mac & Cheese Festival on January 14 make for great stocking stuffers!
