Thick as Thieves 620 W Idaho St Suite 200, Boise Cocktail Bar • $$

“Boise's best hidden gem. This bar is very fun and interactive, from the hidden door in the alleyway to the spindial phone and stunning hidden ambient room decked out like a jazz bar from the Prohibition era. All of our drinks were tasty, the service was sweet, and getting a food tray is a must. Don't let the prices scare you away from this fun night out. It's worth every penny to make memories with friends here!”

“The food and overall atmosphere was great for Sunday brunch, but apparently they employ a DJ to play music on Sundays during brunch which is so loud, it was extremely difficult to carry on a conversation let alone enjoy your meal. My ears are still ringing. My friend and I weren’t the only people in the restaurant requesting the volume to be decreased. Brunch should be a relaxing atmosphere, not feeling like you are at a night club….”

“The food is very good. We have tried pizza and salads and both were fresh and very tastey. The on-line ordering is horrible. Yesterday we placed a to go order at 3 pm and was told that it would not be ready to pick up until 7 pm, 4 hours later. That is not unusual and sometimes they stop on-line ordering several hours before closing. They either need more ovens, a better system or discontinue take out orders because on-line ordering for take out is very frustrating and annoying.”

Wasabi Sushi 2325 S Apple St, Boise Japanese • $$

“The sushi is actually pretty good (a difficult task for Idaho)! I took off a star because the service was poor. The server did not bring us menus or water for quite some time. Then our food took forever and we realized after she dropped it off that we had no utensils or napkins. She didn't come back to ask how the food was until we were totally done eating. This place could really shine if a little effort was put into their service.”

“Seriously one of the best restaurants in Boise. The food is excellent. I’m a vegetarian and that can make it tough to find places with more than a couple things to try. Not here—there’s an entire menu. Service was absolutely top notch. So friendly and attentive. It was my spouse’s birthday and they overheard and brought us dessert (which was also delicious). The interior is very nice…modern but cosy and unpretentious. Everything is perfect here…the ambiance, the service, and the food—just perfect.”

We highly recommend Chef Huts for breakfast but I am sure their brunch is just as good. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy!. We also loved the fact that it was a family owned business! They both work daily in their restaurant; one is the chef and other is a waitress. You can definitely feel the family ownership! They sure have a good team in place!”

“California Mexican Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried this Boise fast food Mexican restaurant today for the first time. I got the #18 combo, which is 2 Chile Rellenos, Rice & Beans with tortillas for a little less than $10. I went through the drive-through. The service was fast. I was impressed with the weight of the bag. I was even more impressed when I got back to my office and opened up the box. The food looked fantastic! I liked that the Chile Rellenos came with sour cream and a guacamole-like topping. They were made with nice sized poblano chilies. The flavor was good, and they were full of oozing cheese. If I was to rate these based on appearance and flavor, alone, I would rate them 4/5. However, the seeds were not removed from the poblano chilies before cooking them. Every single recipe I’ve seen for Chile Rellenos instructs you to remove the seeds. You don’t realize why that’s important until you get one with seeds. Eating a bunch of hard plant matter along with one’s Chile Relleno is not a pleasant experience. I’m not sure if this was a one off, or if this is how they normally prepare Chile Rellenos at California Mexican Food. The refried beans looked good, but they tasted sour. The rice was OK. I like that the meal comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose flour. The tortillas seemed thick and homemade.”

I was freaking out & finally got my app up to scan for a free 5 piece. I told the kid sorry & what was going on. I get to the window & the sweet girl handed me a brownie & said sorry about my son’s school & hoped everyone is ok. I hadn’t eaten all day & due to terrible roads, I had about a 45 min drive to get home. I opened up the nugget & they gave me a 10 piece. It was a false threat thank heaven.

Thai Cuisine 6777 W Overland Rd, Boise Thai • $

“Came here with friends and family and overall it was a good experience. Food is usually good and you won't go bad with the majority of the menu. Just make sure to read the ingredients to make sure it's what you like. There is also a vegan menu if that's what floats your boat. My only disappointment is the food didn't seem to have the kick I was expecting. Maybe I missed seeing it on the menu of how spicy each pepper is but mine had two and seemed a bit lacking in the spice department. It tasted fine though.

We've been here a half dozen or more times and we'll probably come back in the future.

Vegetarian options: It says vegan not vegetarian but they are similar

Parking: It is a small parking lot for how popular the place is so plan for that

Without a doubt, the owner Ben is the heart and soul of this wine program. Quick witted, well versed in the wine knowledge, and just an overall joy to listen to. The people in my group kept saying we should put a microphone on him and just record everything he says. He is so passionate and interesting to listen to. He served us two fantastic bottles of wine. There’s no wine menu. He simply asked what we liked and he conjured up the perfect bottles. The cheese platter was scrumptious as well with generous portions. Overall, a great value and very memorable experience. Good vibes all around!”

The boba is wonderful and what's great. is that a lot of the drinks that contain milk? you can substitute it without milk and use a alternative milk such as coconut or soy or almond milk. The boba itself is very soft, but my favorite is the crystal boa. it has a texture like aloe. Every time I come in I'm always read it with a smile and catch up with them from the past week. sometimes I'll have them pick out their favorite drink for me to try and everything on the milk. tea is a wonderful. The taro. they make it in house. my personal favorite is the winter melon with half sweetness the mochi waffle is to die for. I love the matcha one and get that every Sunday as well”

The beer is sublime, the space friendly and congenial, a great little outdoor sitting area, and a man behind the bar that is the perfect balance between attentive, informative, and entertaining.

The one downside on this visit was that their pizza kitchen was down after a fire, which I was counting on for food when I headed here on my way east.

“Goodwood BBQ
1140 N Eagle Road, Meridian - 208-884-1021
7849 West Spectrum Street, Boise near the theatres - 208-658-7173
Here are my three favorite appetizers from the locally owned Goodwood Barbecue Company in Meridian and Boise Idaho. Try the fresh made onion rings with buttermilk batter, the loaded Idaho potato skins and the shredded pork quesadilla. I also routinely choose the made in house potato salad as a side dish when ordering an entrée, which is creamy and not mayo based, plus the not overly sweet BBQ beans as the optional "two sides with each entrée." They have a separate lunch menu section for entrees, salads and sandwiches.
The service at both locations is always friendly, they hustle and the restaurants always seem to be a popular lunch and dinner choice, filling up fast.
Reservations are available for large parties. Just call in advance and the table is already set up with menus, silverware, water, etc. While not a separate room, there are two locations in each place that can be set up. We have ended up with as many as 28 people.*
* note the mandatory tip for groups is now 22% and is calculated after the menu price and tax total, effectively bringing it up to 25%. And, if paying separately, be sure to let the individuals in your group know.”

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a perfect lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet inviting. The Staff at The Lively were attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. The food was simply exquisite. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course and desserts, each dish was expertly prepared and presented with flair by Executive Chef Edward Higgins. Our guests raved about the quality and taste, and many commented that it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding. What impressed us most was the personalized service we received. The team at The Lively, specially the Director of Event Sales Missy Goode from the moment we first inquired until our wedding day, Missy has been nothing short of exceptional. Her dedication to ensuring our wedding day was extra special was truly amazing. Missy's top-notch professionalism and unwavering support made a significant difference throughout the planning process. I highly recommend The Lively Boise, especially thanks to Missy's invaluable assistance. The server who assisted us that day, Grace, was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and reassuring. She ensured that every aspect of our experience, from food to drinks, was of the highest standard. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly made our day unforgettable. Grace's exceptional service was nothing short of wonderful. Overall, our experience at The Lively Boise exceeded our expectations in every way.

Brixx Craft House 7700 W State St STE 110, Boise Restaurant • $

“Went to watch the games on Sunday. I ordered the Ruben and a gingerale. I only ate 1/3 because it was filling. That night I vomited 5 times throughout the entire night due to Ecole or salamona positioning. During the morning I had diarrhea and took a sick day all because of bad meat. All i ate that moring was a poched egg and coffee. I will never go back and have food there again. When I told the manager, Tyler, about the food positioning, he offered me a gift card and that was it. Like I ever want to go back after and excruciating night of being sick.”

Granny C's Bakery 5120 W Overland Rd, Boise Restaurant • $

“Nice local bakery I like to support. Pies are their strength, both fruit and cream pies. Fillings are plentiful and locally sourced. I hate to admit their rolls and bread items need improvement. Simply put, they taste as if they had no salt added. Bland. Salt is essential in order to make flavors really great. I don’t know why the lack of salt, but it’s why the rolls aren’t excellent.”

“Noah saved the day! Huge thank you for helping us with a large order that the Meridian branch made impossible and very difficult beyond reason.

Crumble cookies are always a hit. I would recommend the Boise branch awesome attitudes, smart, good business operations.

Visit Meridian Crumble if you only need one cookie and zero business sense.

Thank you again Noah!”

“California Mexican Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried this Boise fast food Mexican restaurant today for the first time. I got the #18 combo, which is 2 Chile Rellenos, Rice & Beans with tortillas for a little less than $10. I went through the drive-through. The service was fast. I was impressed with the weight of the bag. I was even more impressed when I got back to my office and opened up the box. The food looked fantastic! I liked that the Chile Rellenos came with sour cream and a guacamole-like topping. They were made with nice sized poblano chilies. The flavor was good, and they were full of oozing cheese. If I was to rate these based on appearance and flavor, alone, I would rate them 4/5. However, the seeds were not removed from the poblano chilies before cooking them. Every single recipe I’ve seen for Chile Rellenos instructs you to remove the seeds. You don’t realize why that’s important until you get one with seeds. Eating a bunch of hard plant matter along with one’s Chile Relleno is not a pleasant experience. I’m not sure if this was a one off, or if this is how they normally prepare Chile Rellenos at California Mexican Food. The refried beans looked good, but they tasted sour. The rice was OK. I like that the meal comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose flour. The tortillas seemed thick and homemade.”

“Maren saved this 1 star review, and changed it to a 5 star review! Our initial waitress was terrible. Was very curt with us. Never brought breadsticks, refilled our waters, and food was cooked wrong. Over all just wasn’t taken care of. The girl who ran our food, Maren, was outstanding. Got us our refills and our bread sticks. Along with taking my over cooked steak off our tab along with our appetizer just to make up for the lack of service. She went above and beyond. Got us a free dessert and a $25 gift card. It was my birthday dinner and she saved it! Thank you, Maren. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is important to you. If I knew the first servers name, I’d leave it in the review so people know what to expect when getting served by her. Thank you Olive Garden for turning our initially horrible experience into the best experience we’ve had here! We will be back. (:”

Cupbop - Korean BBQ 298 N 8th St, Boise Barbecue • $

“First time with Korean bbq. Good flavor combinations with rice mix, and pork. The rice, vegetabe blend and chicken was also very flavorful. Caution with sauces. Level 3, the heat starts. Slight tingle, very full on flavor. Rest of higher levels go warmer from there. Level one stays on sweeter side with mild flavor and no heat. My associate said level 1 was perfect for her spice sensitive tummy. Pot stickers rounded off meal with lots of filling and soy sauce dip topped it off.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible”

“Seriously one of the best restaurants in Boise. The food is excellent. I’m a vegetarian and that can make it tough to find places with more than a couple things to try. Not here—there’s an entire menu. Service was absolutely top notch. So friendly and attentive. It was my spouse’s birthday and they overheard and brought us dessert (which was also delicious). The interior is very nice…modern but cosy and unpretentious. Everything is perfect here…the ambiance, the service, and the food—just perfect.”

The atmosphere and the staff were so friendly. There are several tables and a couch to sit and enjoy your coffee.

My particular cup of coffee was good, but not great. I had a pour over, which I did appreciate as a choice!

I’d certainly come back for the atmosphere, the coffee shop has definite good vibes.”
