50 Best American Restaurants near Kuna

“Such a fun spot for karaoke and drinks with friends! The bartender we got was super nice and helped us figure out what kind of drink we'd like, and I can't remember either of their names but he called her "mom" due to her experience and how long she's been there and trained them, she was absolutely amazing! I didn't know if they had a drink on the menu so I asked and she asked for a recipe and made it perfectly! Her recommendations for my friend were so good and exactly what she was hoping for. Great service, great drinks, great karaoke, and some darts to top off the night, all for a great price! Would definitely recommend.“

“Great food! Promise it will never be my last“

“Service and food were fantastic. Jessica and Kyle were amazing. The checked often to see if we needed anything and if everything was as we wanted it. The chef is amazing. The salmon and cod were perfectly cooked.“

“I'll be back every saturday for the breakfasts. It's on the second floor overlooking the planes and runway. The chicken fry steak was excellent and the coffee was good.“

“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.“

“The food and drink at JaKs Place is excellent. It is close to our home so feels like a good neighborhood bar. The service has been quick and pleasant and the entertainment is fantastic. Highly recommend JaKs to anyone that hasn’t tried it yet.“

“We love Culver's and always come here when visiting my mom. I have to say the manager (not sure of his name) isn't always the nicest. But big shout out to James for always being so friendly, sweet and making you feel like you're welcome!! Love the food but I'm truly giving Culver's in Meridian a 5 star because of him!!“

“OMG !! So I just had the best customer service from the manager tonight at Applebees, I wish I got his name anyway, he was awesome . I had my food delivered from a different service and my drink was missed and I called just to ask what happened, not a big deal by any means it’s just a drink, right . Well I told him it was all fine and not a big deal just wanted to figure it out. Didn’t know whose fault but The manager at Applebees 100% made it more then right, I appreciate him very much thank for doing what you did i hope you see this because you are doing Awesome ?“

“My family and I went to eat here on a Sunday evening for an early dinner. I highly recommend calling ahead to see if there is a wait. This seems to be a popular place. We went around 4-5pm. As the evening goes on, it becomes busier, and it was nice to enjoy the quieter setting before things pick up. Their wait staff are attentive and kind. They work hard and make sure you are taken care of without over bugging you! The style of the restaurant is unique and clever, including artwork with cows, aliens, and a mix of farmhouse. The misfit and retro style seems to work for them. When the weather permits, they have a roll-up door in the front half of the restaurant that gives you a nice breeze of fresh air. I love their atmosphere. I had their Pineapple Express burger and fries. I 10/10 recommended this burger (personally I take off the mustard aioli or have it on the side)! This burger has so much flavor between the burger, ham, pineapple, and I like it with the pickles. Perfect hidden gem for Nampa!“

“Love Marie Callendars in Meridian. Coming from California where they had closed down all of our Marie Callendars. It was so nice to have a little bit of taste of home. I have ordered pies amazing German chocolate pie Yum. I’ve ordered meals and it’s been great.“

“Great food great service will definitely be back!“

“Food was a little bit salty, not in such a bad way but some salt-sensitive people may not enjoy it. Servers are very friendly and I felt like they have known me for years. Mac & Cheese was very yummy nummy.

Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free menu

Kid-friendliness: It is kid friendly, but I recommend not taking your kids for the sake of society.

Wheelchair accessibility: Saw multiple people in wheel chairs. It is also roomy and wide enough to stroll around the tables.“

“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.“

“This is a great place for BBQ. They are tucked away in downtown Nampa and are worth trying out.“

“We had a family dinner tonight celebrating 2 birthdays. It was very busy as usual but wanted to comment on our waitress Aliza. She was very attentive and gave great service even with a lot of large groups. This was especially deserving of recognition as she's is a new server. Thank you for taking care of us!“

“The service was great and the waitress was cheery and friendly! The food was delicious and the prices were great!“

“Ok 2nd time at Rudy's in Meridian and service both times was amazing, food was hot , fast and good and priced reasonably. Definitely worth trying...I personally love the Rueben, perfect mix of tart sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on marbled Rye, fries are crisp, Onion rings are perfectly cooked. Crispy wings are great.“

“Cannot say enough about this awesome place! Food was excellent and our server, Cory, was exceptional. Our first time here and we will definitely be back and recommend to everyone.“

“5 of us stopped in the end of July.Had our drinks and left.Loud,horrible rock type music and the bar menu that day was limited,unappealing. Some in our group go there often,rest of us no.“

“Here's a Google review you can use:

---

I had the pleasure of being served by Lisa during my visit, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. Not only did she take great care of us, but she even gave us fun stickers and walked us to our cars with a smile! It's rare to find such thoughtful and genuinely kind service. Thank you, Lisa, for making our day so much brighter! Highly recommend this place—especially if Lisa is your waitress!

Parking: so awesome because of Lisa

Kid-friendliness: people r so nice“

“wonderful bar well kept awesome owners friendly staff“

“Great beers, try the lacto cooler! Food is excellent, the fingersteaks are among the best in Boise.“

“What guy wouldn't love this place? It has a fantastic sports atmosphere, lots of beer choices, good food, GREAT scenery, and it's just fun. Service was awesome. I did see quite a few ladies here too. Love this place. I wish I could remember our servers name. She was awesome“

“Great!!!!! Nothing more to say but GREAT!!!$“

“I got the chicken stripes and husband got a burger everything was really good and we sat outside 👍“

“fantastic food and great service.“

“What a great burger and fries! Grand daughter ordered chicken strips and they were delicious as well! GREAT FOOD and SEVICE! Friendly staff! Will go back again for sure!“

“It's a great place to have some fun with groups of friends and the price for shoes was reasonable. Someone was always coming around periodically for service, asking how we are doing and if we needed anything. And there is more than just bullying to do there. There's the arcade up top and a restaurant off to the side and a bar in the middle. So there is a little of something for everyone. The only complaint that I would have is that it can get a little noisy and if they are doing a same event on the bowling alleys, they may have the lights turned down low, making it a little difficult to see.“

“We came here one early morning after a terrible hotel stay and lack of sleep. The server we had was very nice. He was a bit on the quieter side but was amazing. It wasn’t too busy at the time and we got our food in a timely manner.

He was also kind and asked if our kid wanted the exact picture of the pancake displayed on her menu.

Establishment was clean and welcoming. Coffee was hot, it was an extremely freezing day that morning.“

“This place is amazing! It's for adults and you can feel like a kid again. Lol next place to take your date or just want to hang out with friends? This place is perfect for either one. They have games, beer and t.v to watch any game.

Kid-friendliness: I have had my kids with me at this place and I tell you what, even my kids had a blast. They are younger and still loved the food and games.“

“Thought my bday was ruined bc they were out of pretzels, but Janae was so slay and incredible with her service that it saved the day! Purrr.
-Jessica (aka Michael's friend) the birthday girl

Vegetarian options: They made one of our nacho orders vegetarian for us!“

“Love this place, they have a gluten free menu which tastes delicious! 10/10 recommend! The ambiance is cozy and smaller which make you feel more at home! Service is great they got us well taken care of! We recommend the pancakes, gf toast and peasant potato breakfast!“

“Great service. Great food, will definitely go again“

“My mom, daughter, and I stopped in at Legends after seeing a movie next door, and we had the best experience! Our server, Hailey, was absolutely amazing—so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s always a pleasure dining here, and this visit was no exception. We love coming to Legends and will definitely be back soon!“

“Food was really really good but the bartender Amy was extremely rude and acted like didn’t want to serve me and my freinds“

“It was just a good day to take my mom and boyfriend to dinner as I was craving the garlic fries“

“Was very noise as there was a game on the television.Our waiter was amazing. Matt(?)The prime rib was very good and enough for us to split plus added a garden salad. Even the salad was better then any other restaurants.We will definitely be going back. Especially since they're less than 10 miles from our home. Only found them due to a FB post.“

“Dope environment. Family owned. And great food“
