I love SLG, and I've been coming here for years. Usually, I will ask one of the servers to let the kitchen decide and I get surprised every time. 99% of the time I have a wonderful meal and wonderful service, but today was our 1%. I will be honest and say that 100% of this experience could have been improved if the service had been present, but ultimately the absence of a server at our table compounded the issue. My surprise dish, the monte cristo, arrived, and on my first bite I immediately recognized that the flavors did not work well together. My wife took a bite and also recognized it was a bit overcomplicated. Being as hungry as I was, I managed to get through half of the sandwich, but it was a firm stopping point when I realized that the cheeses were throwing the balance off significantly. I waited for the server to come back, but nothing. I was waiting for a natural opportunity to give feedback about how the meal was, but the server was nowhere. My wife ate her entire meal as my plate went untouched and got cold. After my wife had finished, we were starting to get impatient because the server wasn't even coming out for a check, and it had been 25 minutes at this point. My wife finally went in from the patio to ask for the check, and when the server finally came out, she never once asked if we enjoyed our meal. In a world where too many people go out of their way to be mean, I prefer when servers ask for feedback, because it provides an opportunity to objectively say those things in the moment. Unfortunately, if the opportunity is missed, then the next option is to write a review about how an opportunity could be improved. I will acknowledge that I'm gambling when I order like this, but like I said earlier, 99% of what I've ordered over dozens of trips over years of menu changes have been phenomenal. The kitchen is wonderful, but I don't think that being neglected from a server is a good way to improve upon a solid foundation. Next time I go, I will probably just order what I want and set myself for different expectations

Okay this place is seriously delicious. I would recommend coming during the week as it's a quaint space and I can imagine it gets packed on the weekends. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the greens were literally mouth watering. We will be back!
The brunch menu is simple and the brisket is unmatched. Top it with a carafe of Mimosa ?

The PBR Platter is a winner. For best results, send the included PBR to the kitchen. The cocktail menu is literary.

If there is one jewel in Boise that deserves more than one Michelin Star it’s this glorious restaurant. It is so incredibly well executed. The amazing menu, the crafted cocktails, the service, the atmosphere. It is like extreme southern cooking, with the flair of Manhattan. As the French would say, un cran au-dessus du reste!! A cut above the rest. Truly a dining experience to be celebrated.

Excellent food and service. Brisket was delicious as were the sides but my main focus was on the meat! Our server Kris was really great, let us enjoy our meal but available when needed. We will be back! Loved the casual fun environment.

Went here with some family members for lunch. I ordered the monte cristo, which was good, but a little too tart for me in some of the bites. My husband really enjoyed his gridiron burger though, and I really loved the brisket ends!

The food was good overall but the prices were pretty high for the portion sizes. This rating is just for the food. The brisket had good sauces. The pickled vegetables were great to cut the fat because the pieces were very fatty. The Mac and cheese was a decent size overall. These two items were almost the right amount for two people to share but not enough to get full.
it's not bad, but Rib is not what I expected. Old time was good.

Stopped in for dinner last night. Service from Alissa was great. I ordered the Gridiron burger and fries. The fries were outstanding. The burger was great as well. And, the fry sauce could be served on shoe leather and be eaten. The house red wine blend (California) was very good and priced well. Boise has a lot of food options and this one is a great one.
