“We went to Thick as Thieves for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was amazing! Our server Spencer was attentive but not smothering and even got down to take a great picture for us!! The drinks were tasty and there were lots of options. Definitely will be going back again!!”
“we have ordered through Door Dadh several times and had delicious meals. Today was the first time we dined in. it was even more delicious. all of the parts of the meal were PERFECTLY cooked. The lamb chops are to die for. The music was set at a level that allowed us to easily converse and still provide a wonderful, authentic ambiance.”
“Wow, wow, wow! Best Thai food I have EVER had. Pad Thai Gai and Kau Swe Nuer are where it’s at 🍜🥥🍋🟩😩🩷”
“Brunch here is my favorite in Boise. The Duck and waffles is the best combo of sweet and savory. Their mimosa service is fun and delicious: tasty bottle of cava tableside with fresh squeezed OJ”
“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 last 5 years my husband and I have made this our go to restaurant for Afghani and Mediterranian food. Best naan in town--chewy, thick and flavorful. Service is excellent as always. Portions are generous. Our favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala. Sauce is truly exceptional. We'll keep going back as we have the last 5 years. 10 out of five”

“AN UNFORGETTABLE TRADING EXPERIENCE I have seen, tested and tried different strategies, procedures methods even lost a lot of funds while trying. Until I was introduce to this strategy that got me back on track and I have been able to regain all my lost money and still making consistent growth on all of my trade, Mrs. Erica Bennett Fx, is indeed an astonishing trader with my start up capital of $2500 I was entitled to $26,940. wow Excellent. she steadily lifted me out of my… See more”
“The food was amazing and the Masala Chai was perfect, especially for a cold, windy day.”
“Bear Island makes great beer, has a cool building in an old firehouse, and is Veteran owned! All are pluses in my book!”
“We went here for breakfast multiple days while visiting Boise. This place was amazing! The food, the staff, all amazing!! The price is a little higher for breakfast but the portions are huge and can easily feed 2 people. They even gladly split meals onto separate plates. Also get the OJ, fresh squeezed and great! Can’t believe it but I’m going to say that breakfast here was our best meal the entire time we were in Boise!”

“So delicious! The food got to our table quickly and was phenomenal! I highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered white and red lamb tibs and black and red lentils and loved it. The injera wasn’t too sour, as it was in a different Ethiopian restaurant me and my family have been to. Very good and would definitely go there again.”

“Oddly placed next to an adult store, but the food and coffee are absolutely superb. I highly recommend getting the dumplings. I will be dreaming about them for a long time now. The pastries and coffee go very well together. The atmosphere is very common and inviting and clean I will definitely come back.”
“One of the best Mediterranean food in Boise even the best! We had 2 plates: one is called Mushakal that includes chicken Shawarma, chicken taouk style (skewers) , hummus dip and salad! Second plate is called Ishtar which includes falafel, lamb kebab, chicken taouk, hummus dip and salad! Both were so delicious and both were served with rice spiced with Safran! Finally we had delicious baklava that was so tasty! I'm sure going back there! Very friendly owner and staff! Nice atmosphere! Fair prices! They have also a shop where you can buy Mediterranean grocery items, bread and other items! It is highly recommended!!!”

“A family favorite!!! In fact, I chose to celebrate Mother’s Day at 3 Wood Pizza and Pub and it didn’t disappoint. Exceptional service, incredible pizza, and to top it off…I was handed a Mother’s Day Rose before leaving. Thanks for your tireless dedication for excellence! Much appreciated!”
“Great food along with good live music most of the time. If I had a chance I'd stop”
“Outstanding pizza and great service! We will certainly be returning.”

“One of favorite places too dine. Sorry no pics. Never think of it until too late. I had the Pho with short ribs. First time ordering. I usually try something different each time. The short rib melted in your mouth. It is a fusion Asian establishment so aside from sounding contradictory, it isn’t what I would consider authentic Pho. If you don’t smell like pho for a day or two, than I consider it American friendly. 🤓. It was still delicious and fresh ingredients. My wife has her staple Kao Sao (so?). Very tasty. The fresh rolls were also extremely fresh. Toffey (sp?) our hostess was awesome. She spent time with us discussing the menu and the chefs talents which we know first hand. Emily, our waitress was attentive and prompt and provided excellent service. We have never had a bad meal or service here.”
“Ruth’s Chris Boise has been my favorite Boise steakhouse! Every detail from the moment you walk in is on point. If you want an outstanding fine dining experience, make a reservation! You will not be disappointed. Once again, thank you to Don and all of the wonderful staff!”
“Had a fabulous dinner starting with the calamari and a charcuterie board. Our main dishes included the cacciuco (seafood stew), tagliatelle with bolognese and tortioli pasta with hazelnut pesto, carmelized pearl onions and local roasted assorted mushrooms. For dessert we shared the chocolate tiramisu. Everything was outstanding and the service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!”
“Followed my nose and found this treat. We showed up during Happy hour and were promptly seated. Our drinks came out quickly. After Ella took our order, we didn't wait long for our food. The Pupu Platter had something that was enjoyed by our party of four, nothing was left. The mo Betta was one of the tastiest things I have had all year. My companions set about theirs with gusto. Next time I am in Boise, I will be back.”

“I was so lucky to get to try this place out during my visit to Boise. My uncle who’s lived in Japan is a complete sushi iceberg, and we go nowhere else. I had to have the Godzilla road now I had many other roles and my cousin, to the number of different items the service was incredible!!! The spicy dragon roll was my favorite, but Godzilla you have to try!!! OH NOOOO I SAY YOU HAVE TO GO AND TRY GODZILLA!!”

“Boise River Catering came through last minute for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Terra and Jamie were so fun and easy to work with. I would highly recommend using them for any event.”
“I went around the afternoon. The young lady working the drive thru, is amazing! She spoke clearly, at a reasonable speed and, she read my order back to me. I haven't had the best experience at other locations. From being told they dont make a certain burrito anymore that, they still do (just ordered it yesterday) to, getting attitude from the girls working. Like, my service was more of a hassle for them. However, this location (fairview by taco bell), the service was awesome! I actually tipped $10 which, I haven't done in 5 yrs due to the service I would get. This young lady made such an impression on me that I actually felt a tip was necessary. I will be going here and only here from now on. Thank u for ur incredible service. U r appreciated!”
“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.”
“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.”
“First time visiting the restaurant this week. We ordered a filet mignon dinner and a lamb shank dinner—both were delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection. Croquettes and big salad both so good!”

“Lovely coffee place. Delicious coffee. Croissant and banana bread very good and fresh.
About the atmosphere of place: if I was an interior designer I’d make some changes on furniture and adding some coffee style ambient music. Replace mirrors on the wall with art related to coffee or Idaho nature, add more art on other walls, and open the working area where roasting happens, among possible changes.
Bathroom is nice and clean.”

“My husband and I are avid sushi and ramen lovers, and this is hands down the best place we have been to in Idaho. The staff was so kind and quick to get us sat and get us our food. The sushi was absolutely amazing, we highly recommended the Island Roll and the Crispy Roll. The miso soup was delicious, and the ramen, divine. And the pricing is more than fair for the quality and quantity. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to our friends and family. Good job Island Sushi.”

“Best coffee shop in Idaho! My husband and I go at least once a week. The Baristas and the owner are far superior to any other coffee shop around. We love to go here for the full experience…great coffee, amazing pastries, and excellent customer service. You will quickly become a regular like us if you give them a try. 💕”
“Our favorite restaurant in Boise! During our week stay in Boise, we went to this restaurant 2 times. Everything that we ordered was amazing and the sweet tea was spot on! The Mac & Cheese, potato skins, & cobbler is to die for!”
“Ruth’s Chris Boise has been my favorite Boise steakhouse! Every detail from the moment you walk in is on point. If you want an outstanding fine dining experience, make a reservation! You will not be disappointed. Once again, thank you to Don and all of the wonderful staff!”

“I had an incredible experience at Suite 104, and a huge part of that was Savannah. She was absolutely outstanding, fast, accurate, and clearly an expert in her craft. Her knowledge of drinks was impressive, and every cocktail she made was exceptional. Beyond her talent behind the bar, she was warm, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special. She truly made my birthday celebration one for the books. As a new local from Florida, experiences like this make all the difference, and I will definitely be back. Also, Emma, the manager, was so kind and welcoming to both me and my friend. Excellent service all around!”
“My experience at cactus bar has always been phenomenal but last night really made this one of my favorite bars in Boise. A group of me and my friends were approached by a woman who had clearly had too much to drink and started trying to create a physical altercation out of no where. The cactus staff (specifically Craig) did an awesome job at de-escalating and making sure we were comfortable. The staff and manager checked on my friends and I multiple times throughout the night. The atmosphere at this bar is amazing and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend you check this bar out!”

“I popped into Stella’s late one afternoon on my way home from work, looking to treat myself with a pint of ice cream. I couldn’t decide between my usual go-to flavor of mint chocolate chip, or if I wanted to try something new. I wound up doing both and also got a pint of the All Nighter, a coffee-flavored ice cream. They even had peanut butter PUPsicles so I grabbed one of those for my dog. The gal at the counter (who was super helpful while I asked questions about the ice cream flavors) rang me up and I was on my way. I’m almost (but not entirely) embarrassed to admit that I didn’t make it home before I needed to try a bite of the ice cream. I was in standstill traffic, it was hot, and I had a spoon. Or so I thought. I was already committed at that point so I just took a little bite off the top of the opened pint. And another. And another. It was so good that I ate what I could reach without the use of a spoon, then I had to try the other flavor. Both were so good and creamy that I had to force myself to put the lids back on and save some for my husband. My dog is lucky I didn’t break into his pupsicle. Now to the pupsicle. I gave it to my dog as soon as I got home. His little mind was blown by the surprise treat and I sat on the floor with him, holding the pupsicle as he licked it. He didn’t stop until the ice cream was gone and once it was, he still had the cookie part to eat. He rated it 4 paws up and wants another. I will definitely be back to try all the flavors!”

“I will be gushing about this place all the way back to home in New England—it is a must visit if you like wine and are in Boise. We came in with a group of 15 or so, and they recommended incredible wine after incredible wine for each and every person so effortlessly that it felt like we were sitting in a friend’s kitchen. Thank you, Marybeth and the guy in the cool button-up, short-sleeve shirt whose name we didn’t get (edit: apparently his name is Ben and he’s the owner, so thanks Ben)!”

“This place a cool vibe great service and fast. I could spend a half a day looking at all the things they have. Their coffee tastes amazing, that's fo the Mocha great chocolate taste and goes down smooth the prices are reasonable same as any other coffee shop.”
“Lorena and her nephew were great! My sister, and I really enjoyed our lunch the other day at Lorena’s. My sister lives overseas and really wanted some really good Mexican food. She got it at Lorena’s. I return today with my husband, and we both really loved the breakfast burritos.”
“Had breakfast this morning at at The Chef's Hut. I had no idea this restaurant was even here. I must say it was such a great experience. Loved the atmosphere, and the decorations were so cool. Wait staff was on point, our coffee was always full. Food came out quickly even though the place was busy. I had the eye opener for breakfast and I must say it was some of the best biscuits and gravy I have had. The rest of the food was top notch as well. If you want great food do yourself a favor and head to The Chef's Hut, you won't be disappointed. 10 out of 10.”
“What a cute hidden gem! I have discovered a love for Middle Eastern throughout my travels and this place didn't disappoint. The exterior is very plain, but inside is a restaurant with lots of charm! There are beautiful tiles on the walls and ceilings. Everything is very clean and tidy. The staff are friendly. I ordered the chicken kabob sandwich. The chicken is ground, which was different than any kabob sandwich I've had before. I love the pickled veggies that typically come with Middle Eastern food and I wish I had asked for extra pickles. The pickles really bring out the rich flavors. I'd recommend asking for extra pickles. Also, the food is cooked fresh so they say to allow at least 20 min for your food to be prepared.
Make sure you stop by the attached dessert shop. The pastry chef will tell you all about each dessert offered. All ingredients are from Turkey. He made a Tres Leches that could possibly be the best dessert I've ever tasted...and I love dessert! I would definitely go back- especially for that cake!! Insert chef's kiss!”
“Their burgers and fries here are amazing. I've tried almost every single burger on their menu and they don't disappoint. I love how unique they make their burgers. He workers there are friendly and fun to chat with. I've been here multiple times and it's definitely a spot I enjoy coming back to again and again!”

“Food was good. Shrimp skampi with a delicious strawberry mojito. Would go again.”
“best place in Boise ever since it opened. I can't eat here enough. total soul salvation.”
“Fantastic service, location, preparation menu, and valet parking”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I got the sweet and spicy chicken and I swear—it was the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. The perfect balance of heat and sweetness, crispy on the outside and unbelievably juicy inside. Every bite was addictive. I’ve had chicken from a lot of places, but nothing comes close to this. Whoever created that sauce deserves an award. I’d drive hours just to get it again. If you’re on the fence—don’t be. Just get it. You won’t regret it.”
“Absolutely love it here! The waiters/waitresses are always kind and on top of it all.”
“It's my favorite brewery in Boise. Great vibes, beer and people”
“Dine in | $30–50 We hadn’t been to Vincenzo’s in several years and decided to give it another try last night. With the new ownership, the level of hospitality has truly stepped up. We ran about 10 minutes late for our reservation, and when I called, they assured me it was no problem — even though there were people waiting for tables when we arrived. I really appreciated that they still honored our reservation and welcomed us warmly. Our server was attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was just right. The owner, Colton, was engaged with guests, serving, chatting, offering suggestions, and making everyone feel at home. Chef Heidi’s dishes were outstanding. My friend ordered the meatballs (something I usually avoid), but they were absolutely delicious. We also had the fritto misto, zucchini fritters, fettuccine and veal, all fantastic dishes. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate — perfect for a date night. Between the warm hospitality, excellent food, and inviting setting, Vincenzo’s has become a spot we will happily return to.”
“Super friendly staff, the pizza was done on time, and on top of that the pizza is great. I don’t think you can find a better place in Boise!”
“Exquisite experience! From the minute you step in until you part, it is a feast for the soul! Simply said, KIN is an Epicurean Delight! Yes, I recommend KIN!”
“sitting outside on the patio for dinner with the pups. Dec 26th! amazing people! Great food! highly recommend!”
“I’ve enjoyed many sushi restaurants but this one is special- the dishes are truly unique and creative! More importantly, the staff made my recent visit feel like an experience, not just a meal. The atmosphere and the food was authentic and they spared no expense to make it such. This is my new destination when I come back to visit Boise!”
“Yummy breakfast. Met for our Women in Aviation International breakfast meeting. Definitely coming back!”
“This place has it all! Good selection of ice cold beer, good food selection at a good price, lots of sports TV's going, plenty of seating and friendly staff. Honestly they don't even need the lovely ladies wearing what they do, it's just a great spot, but...the ladies are nice. Oh, military Mondays are an extra added bonus, thanks for recognizing those who served!”
“You fired my daughter because she was not annoying enough! She was a hard worker and only 15. Good work for making a young person feel like crap. She tried hard and did extra work when she could. I think it's disgusting to fire a 15 year old that was so proud to work for you! Absolutely disgusting! She was trying to be respectful towards everyone! Aron, you are truly a real piece of you know what!”
“awesome food and great staff!”
“Walter and I LOVE this place! Especially when Barley is there! ❤️🐶❤️”
“Love this place! Anything I have ordered from them has always been delicious, and the staff are always amazing as well. I’ve never had a bad experience from here.”
“I absolutely love this place. I have Celiac disease and they have been so knowledgeable and accommodating. There are lots of options for me! The endive salad is one of the best salads I’ve ever had. I also really enjoy their cocktails. And, as an added bonus they have a lovely patio with misters in the heat. Such a gem to have in East Boise.”
“Food and atmosphere are wonderful.
Great place to gather and eat especially after golf.
Parking lot is small but there are nearby neighborhoods with street parking”
“We just hosted our kids’ baby shower in the bar and on the patio. It was delightful!! Erika, the community relations manager helped us make the day very special! The food and drinks were just right and the staff was great. The location could not have been better. Highly recommend!!”
“Enjoyed a lovely solo evening on the patio tonight at Shadow Puppet! I had the orange wine, which was tangy and bright with a mellow finish. The music was lovely and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Can’t wait to come again and bring my partner on a date night!”
“Super fun spot. Friendly waitresses and food was amazing. Beer flight was everything I wanted it to be. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Wow what a fun place to come grab happy hour. Service from the bartender (brunette curly hair personable) was fantastic. She was keeping up with a lot of drinks and still chatting and making recommendations. Cannot believe how good the food was especially when it arrived so quickly. Highly recommended.”
“Nice small place with a good selection of beers. now they have a pizza kitchen so you can eat as well.”
“It seems this is the spot where the locals dine, and I can see why! The food here was amazing. The mozzarella sticks were very unique, thicker with a nice coat of batter crisply toasted. The chicken parm had a lot of flavor and was cooked perfectly. The vodka rigatoni and cookie skillet were also very good. Shout out to our server/bartender Francisco who provided excellent service!”
“The food here is always great and the service is friendly. Unfortunately, if you are a woman and use their bathroom, neither of the regular stalls lock (only the handicapped stall locks). I spoke to the manager on 8-18-22 about the bathroom issue. He said he would have it fixed. Time will tell if he follows up on this. (The original review was a 3.)
Edited since original review: I now have to give this restaurant a 5 star review! We continue to go to the LongHorn. We LOVE the food and the people who work here are wonderful to us! Thank you to the manager who fixed the bathroom situation!!!!”
“Friendly atmosphere, great sushi at a great price! Love this place!”
“100% the best complete 5 star stay and food experience in Idaho with history captured. This is fine Idaho from an Idahoan.”
“Nice small place with a good selection of beers. now they have a pizza kitchen so you can eat as well.”
“Awesome place with great drinks and good food! The meatballs were tasty! Their drinks were not only beautiful but were smooth and great! The place was very clean and beautiful. Great for a date night and after work drinks. The employees there were friendly and helpful also. It’s always an even better experience when the staff is appreciable and well rounded!”
“Had reservations for Friday evening and the restaurant was pretty busy. It's very loud inside so just be prepared. We opted to sit outside which was much quieter where we could have a conversation. However it's right next to the entrance of the apartments, so lots of folks walking in and out with pets.
Overall food was good, and excellent drinks. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the dish was well balanced. Pasta was fresh and delicious!”
“The best experience for sushi in the entire Valley. Everyone here treats you like family. The food is without a doubt is on a higher level of flavors and you cannot beat the price for the quality at all!”
“Our favorite neighborhood pup. We love the burgers, salads, wraps, fresh cut fries, and their pizza is so good! Heck every grit is good. The beer and cocktails are delicious. Love the atmosphere. Catch a game, World Series, Super Bowl or Olympics. There is plenty of room to spread out and the patio in Summer Park a great. They even have a wide variety of board and card games, making it family friendly. We have always had impeccable service.”
“Little pearl is such a unique gem in Boise. Been going here since it was across the hall when it first opened several years ago. The food menu has evolved quite a bit over the years but the casual relaxed seafood focus remains. It’s great they stay open late and serve food late into the night. We stopped in around 9pm after a show and had some great food and drinks. Pearl gimlet was amazing, chowder, fish and chips were awesome as well. Great vibes, great low key oyster bar. Truly a special spot in Boise.”
“Amazing pizza and friendly service, the truck is so cute too!!!!”
“We love sockeye been coming for years really enjoy being able to bring our dog on the patio. You’ve changed the menu though and we miss the trout the spice salmon and now you’ve changed the finger steaks and fries”
“Great local neighborhood bar, awesome place to stop after work or watching games on the weekend. Even have the big fights on tv. The new owners are cool and bringing a good vibe to the place. Definitely recommend it!”
“The food was wonderful and the customer service was exceptionally good. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and definitely went there a second time while I was in town.”
“My husband and I were on the other end of town dinking around and shopping. Conveniently there was a Crumbl in the shopping center so of course I had to make my way in! It was time to try out my weekly goodies!
There was a good amount of people who had the same idea as me, getting an early evening treatment. I hung out until a few people left. I didn't want to overwhelm the employee. After a handful of people left, I made my way in and ordered my treats.
Yoooooo, this week's selection was money. The Biscoff tres leches cake was fantastic. I accidentally ordered 2 of the cakes but I didn't mind. It was so good! The raspberry cheesecake cookie was top tier as well! The Kentucky butter cake cookie was sweet and savory. And who doesn't like butter?!? The churro cookie was disappointing. It had way too much cinnamon in it. I ate about a quarter of it and tossed the rest. Sucks throwing a cookie away. I really wish I would have enjoyed it.
Homie that was working tonight was really nice. He got my treats ready for me quickly. 3 out of the 4 rotating cookies were banger. Excited too have my extra Biscoff cake later. I look forward to trying out next week's line up.”
“Great place to go if you want to be dressed up and have great drinks and atmosphere!”
“We ate dinner tonight and the food was AMAZING! Scallops, calamari, clam chowder and prawns with the Huckleberry Cream for dessert. Liz our waitress was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and just perfect! The lady who took us to our table was friendly too! If we are ever back in Boise, we will eat here again!!!”
“We stumbled upon this bar. The bartender was very nice. The atmosphere is very cool! Definitely coming back!”
“Aurora made our evening out downtown complete! She showed great care for us and made this dinner enjoyable !!!!!!!!!”
“My daughter, grand daughters and I went to Olive Garden for lunch. I am gluten free. I order gf pasta, grilled chicken and meat sauce, had ranch dressing for salads. Best meal I have had in a long time. Chef brought my meal out to me! It was definitely all carefully prepared!!”
“My wife and Mother in law Have a Birthday in the same Month. This place is our go to! Food 10/10 Service 10/10. Thank you for always making Their day special!”
“Fantastic little bar/lounge. Very refined and rich decor! Cozy and elegant atmosphere where you can carry a conversation. Drinks were very good with a great selection of whiskey. Lovely late evening spot! Can't wait to go back.”
“They have great drinks! One of their bartenders, Anthony, makes the best bloody Mary, this side of the Mississippi! The atmosphere is chill, and the service is on point!”
“Great trivia night, happy doggos, fantastic beer selection, plenty of outdoor seating.”
“Our waiter Tyler was awesome!! Thanks for making it a great date night ..”
“Barrel steak had a unique taste that I really enjoyed. Good steak to start with made better with the marinade and cooking. Salad and soup bar was good as well.”
“Here’s a polished review you could use for Diablo and Sons: Review for Diablo & Sons We had a fantastic experience at Diablo and Sons! The customer service was top-notch—Jess, the manager, was incredibly attentive and welcoming, and Jill, our new server, did a wonderful job making sure we were taken care of. There were a few minor delays, but that’s to be expected on a beautiful Saturday evening out on the patio. The atmosphere made up for it, and the drinks were absolutely on point. We tried the Bloody Mary, a couple of Hemingways, margaritas, and the Dusty Trail—all were excellent and expertly crafted. For dinner, we went with the spicy chicken sandwiches, fish and chips, and skirt steak tacos. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The spicy chicken had the perfect kick, and the tacos were a definite standout. Looking forward to our next visit already! Highly recommend for a relaxed vibe, great drinks, and excellent service.”
“Our wedding reception at The Lively Boise was an absolute dream come true. 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. It was more than just a meal—it was an unforgettable dining experience that added to the magic of our wedding day. We are immensely grateful to the entire team at The Lively Boise for their dedication and expertise in making our celebration truly exceptional. We would highly recommend The Lively Boise to anyone looking for a venue that offers outstanding cuisine, impeccable service, and a memorable atmosphere for their special day.”
“Three of my friends and I sat in the bar on August 19th. We had drinks and appetizers. The ribs were just delicious and we loved the bacon cheese fries! The service was superb! Fernando took care of us. He was so pleasant and beyond efficient! We will definitely be going back soon!”
“The owner and staff were so friendly. The food was on point and I left full and def coming back!”
“This is such a wonderful place to work. We took so much pride in everything we did. The food is amazing. This was without a doubt my favorite place of employment. The owners treated us all like family. I would not only recommend dining here, I would also recommend applying for a job! I met so many beautiful people and Red Feather, Bittercreek and Diablo will always hold a very special place in my heart!”
“I love this place five stars is just a thing I don't do. Been going there for as long as I can remember. Tavos the owner is the best! There Chile Relleno is the best I have found in the Treasure Valley. 95% of the time I order that! Hey just go there!”
“I had the Ribeye the other night and it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had!!! (That says a lot because I’m old and picky, lol.) It was full of flavor and cooked perfectly—super glad I ordered it. Great job guys!”

“Ate there twice in the past week. The menu was broad and the food was excellent. The manager, Mac and his staff have excellent attitudes and are truly concerned with the satisfaction of the customers. My group sampled items from the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. It was tasty and hot from the kitchen. I will certainly visit again.”
“Easy Five Star! My family and I recently visited this lovely restaurant to celebrate our son & daughter-in-law's wedding anniversary. We've all been before and again, never disappointed. From the quaint atmosphere, the kindness of the staff & the excellent food, all amazing. Bingh, our "chef" entertained us with skill including acrobatic eggs, an onion "volcano" and fashioning a large heart for the occasion as he prepared our fried rice. We highly recommend this restaurant! So delicious, I had the filet mignon with scallops, my husband, the filet mignon with shrimp. Wish we would've included a photo! Next time!!”
“I love this place, the food and service has always been top notch every time I have gone in for a meal. The only thing that would improve the atmosphere would be more cloth or sound deadening products to help with all the noise that happens when it’s packed full of people. It’s so busy sometimes that it’s tough to talk to and hear the people you are dining with. That is the only negative thing I can say. The food portions are generous, I often bring leftovers home for later. The food is excellent and my servers have always been attentive and nice.”
“Amazing service! Great Boba! I usually come with my granddaughter and we sit and play word crossy and chill. I order a mango smoothie, she orders whatever she is liking on that day. You can't go wrong! Oh my goodness, sooooo good! I would recommend this place hands down to any other place I have been to for Boba! Thank you for all the great service!”

“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.”

“Such a great place! Super easy to order, and wonderful food. They give you huge portion sizes and tons of flavor options to add at the table! (Sriracha, Hoisin Sauce, spicy chili oil)! The staff is very friendly as well! And the Vietnamese iced coffee is so tasty!”
“One of the best Mediterranean food in Boise even the best! We had 2 plates: one is called Mushakal that includes chicken Shawarma, chicken taouk style (skewers) , hummus dip and salad! Second plate is called Ishtar which includes falafel, lamb kebab, chicken taouk, hummus dip and salad! Both were so delicious and both were served with rice spiced with Safran! Finally we had delicious baklava that was so tasty! I'm sure going back there! Very friendly owner and staff! Nice atmosphere! Fair prices! They have also a shop where you can buy Mediterranean grocery items, bread and other items! It is highly recommended!!!”
“A family favorite!!! In fact, I chose to celebrate Mother’s Day at 3 Wood Pizza and Pub and it didn’t disappoint. Exceptional service, incredible pizza, and to top it off…I was handed a Mother’s Day Rose before leaving. Thanks for your tireless dedication for excellence! Much appreciated!”

“I just finished a walk up on the greenbelt with my puppy and noticed the sign and wanted to come check it out! I honestly had no idea the place was here. I got a breakfast sandwich and guava lotus drink. The staff was so so friendly and quick service. They have hands down the best quick breakfast sandwiches, I’ll be coming here so often now that I know it’s here!”
“It seems this is the spot where the locals dine, and I can see why! The food here was amazing. The mozzarella sticks were very unique, thicker with a nice coat of batter crisply toasted. The chicken parm had a lot of flavor and was cooked perfectly. The vodka rigatoni and cookie skillet were also very good. Shout out to our server/bartender Francisco who provided excellent service!”
“Creating the most delicious coffee is one thing. But having incredible, smart, kind women owners is even better! You have created such a beautiful and welcoming space to enjoy coffee and special connections with friends. Your shop is hands down my favorite, and my go-to recommendation to others.”
“I’ve enjoyed many sushi restaurants but this one is special- the dishes are truly unique and creative! More importantly, the staff made my recent visit feel like an experience, not just a meal. The atmosphere and the food was authentic and they spared no expense to make it such. This is my new destination when I come back to visit Boise!”
“This one of my favorite places in Boise. I go there whenever I can. The owners are terrific people and the food is really good. I usually get the grilled panini and some ice cream. I've gotten a couple of their meat pies to go and they were equally delicious. Would absolutely checking them out.”
“I absolutely love this place. I have Celiac disease and they have been so knowledgeable and accommodating. There are lots of options for me! The endive salad is one of the best salads I’ve ever had. I also really enjoy their cocktails. And, as an added bonus they have a lovely patio with misters in the heat. Such a gem to have in East Boise.”
