Restaurants in Meridian

“My wife and I ate at the Meridian location and the facility, staff and food were all amazing! Highly recommend this place.”

“I wasn't sure what to expect when we first tried Dave's Hot Chicken. If you're looking for a range of hot chicken tenders and sandwiches, the food and service are really good. It's not crispy chicken, however. It's a rub, and it's delicious.

I got the #4 slider, which is plenty of food! I ordered the Reaper spice level, because that's how I roll, and it is not for those with weak taste buds. Thoroughly enjoyed it!”

“Sushi Shack is consistently the freshest and best sushi in the area. Definitely recommend the tuna popper. We had DJ as a server and he was great! Definitely added to our 5-star experience.”

“Really enjoyed coming here with my family. The staff were polite, easy to work with. This place is clean and kept up well. The food is really juicy and came out fast and hot. We had the spicy chicken and the original chicken. My husband and daughter actually preferred the spicy chicken, it was flavorful and not too spicy for them. I preferred the original chicken, it was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Highly recommend this place. We will be back soon!”

“A hidden treasure, excellent baked empanadas with a delicious and wide range of fillings. Nice wine and beer selection too. The atmosphere is relaxed and service excellent. Highly recommended and hope to see them prosper. Since the Kiwi shake and bake shut, I’ve felt a little lost.. hopefully we can watch rugby here too!”

“The food was fantastic! We had the curry vegetable and the butter chicken pizzas. Definitely check this place out, you will not be disappointed.”

“Wonderful team members. Always helpful and they doublecheck when I mess up an order with our special dietary needs! Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Type 1 diabetes. Need lower carbs.”

“Amazing customer service!! Huge scoops!! And they always have a Keto Flavor!! Their selection of classic and innovative flavors is second to none…and the fact that they have something for this 18 month Keto Warrior, where else would I go??”

“I love this place! Highly recommend you will NOT be disappointed.”

“Everything on the menu! Service is always great and the food is spot on and consistent!”

“Low key some of the best street tacos I've ever had, honestly.
I've been to many a food truck from the years of raves in California and this one is a banger!
Definitely recommended stopping by! 👍🤙”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great coffee shop! The employees were friendly and helpful. The shop was clean, and the coffee is delicious! I will be going back!”

“Great Breakfast choices! Delicious food.. Small restaurant but cozy. Worth the 30min. wait to be seated.”

“We visited Margherita Pizza for the first time tonight. Seeing a wood fired oven in a pizza restaurant is a good first sign. A friendly, personable staff is the second. Tasting a fresh salad, refreshing Italian soda, and delicious pizza (in a style very similar to what we had in Italy) sealed the deal for us! They just gained two more loyal customers.”

“Lucky Fins Seafood Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently revisited Lucky Fins in Meridian. In the past, I’ve been to the original location, which is the one in Meridian, as well as the one in downtown Boise, which has since closed. There is also a location in Greeley, Colorado. We started with an appetizer of Kickin’ Shrimp ($15) - Crispy shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served with a side of ranch and a lime wedge. Similar to Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but uniquely its own, this isn’t excellent appetizer! If you like spicy shrimp, it’s worth visiting for this dish alone. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) - Tempura battered and fried Arctic cod with shredded cabbage, chipotle aïoli, pickled onions, cojita, and micro cilantro. Served with cilantro lime rice, lime wedges, and choice of salsa. The fish tacos were bland and flavorless. I didn’t realize until I started to write this review that they came with a choice of salsa, but I don’t think that would’ve made much of a difference. I liked the cilantro lime rice. MW ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon ($29) - Center cut, grilled Arctic salmon on Northwest Cedar plank, seasoned with Rocky Mountain meat and fish rub, loaded smashers, grilled asparagus, charred lemon. MW liked the salmon dish, but would opt for something a little more interesting next time. For dessert, we shared Bourbon Bread Pudding, which came topped with ice cream ($10). It was good. The ambience and service were excellent!”

“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 chips and salsa, food and deep fried ice cream is AMAZING! The customer service at the Meridian location was EXCEPTIONAL!! The owner Speedy is so amazing! He was so friendly to my two year old son and made sure we had everything we needed. Our waiter Andres was so wonderful as well and was so attentive. I’m pregnant and was craving their salsa and he made sure my salsa cup was always full and that we were happy. The prices are so reasonable there; it’s definitely one of my favorite places to eat and I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with this place!”

“Tried for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. We got the fried zucchini to start with and it was wonderful. Food came out and we realized their pasta portions could feed 2-3 people a plate ? was extreme yummy. Service was good, person in front seemed scared, “deer in the headlights” look the whole time we interacted. He came over to our table at the end and kinda got in our bubble so that was a little awkward. But our server herself was nice! It’s a cute place to check out.”

“Yummy, friendly Italian food. Highly recommended.”

“Best of Meats ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best of Meats aka BOM is a new meat-centric Boise-based food truck that serves Japanese charcoal grilled meat. They offer appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks. I visited for the first time on 11/12/20 and ordered a Grilled Platter. Platters come with two skewers of meat, seasoned rice, cabbage and house sauce. I wanted the beef tenderloin but they were out. I ordered one chicken thigh skewer and one pork tenderloin skewer ($13). That week, everyone who ordered a platter received a free Glazed Donut Ice Cream dessert. One of the owners heard me mention that I was bringing the food back to my office, he generously threw in two more skewers of meat for me to share with my coworkers. I and my three coworkers unanimously agreed BOM deserves a 5 star rating. I am no expert when it comes to Japanese charcoal grilled meat but the meat was high-quality, flavorful and tender. It was served on top of a generous bed of rice and cabbage with a delicious house sauce. The appetizers which consist of two meat skewers, would be perfect for those following a Keto or Paleo diet. Highly recommended!!!”

“We came because Google and their website made it look like they have hibachi during the day, but was told when we got there it starts at 4. Disappointed, but undeterred, we stayed for sushi. Turns out we were very pleased. We had the sushi bridge and a sushi for one meal for three people and it was more than we could eat. We found the quality quite good as well.”

“Only ordered chicken and vegetable Pho. They were very tasty as far as Pho goes, will order again.”

“El Gallo Giro has been a work lunch locale for years now. all the best people go :) Our family loves the food and atmosphere. It's our special taco place!”

“My husband and I could not for the life of us find a place to have dinner for New Year’s Eve that was new to us. We’re all about trying new places and as I was going through the list of what was open and what wasn’t I kept coming back to this one. I’m soooo glad we went to 127 Saloon. The food was absolutely the best! The staff was awesome! We didn’t have a reservation but were able to find a place at the bar, they let us know if we couldn’t find a seat to let them know and they would find us one. The place was CLEAN and light. I love it. 100/10 we’ll be back.”

“This is the original sunrise cafe. It is very old school, with a personal mug rack. The servers are excellent and the food is plentiful. My particular dish was $20, which was the highest price for an individual serving. But, everything is going up right?
They have marked the most popular items with a little Idaho picture. Take their advice! Very good.”

“Tonight was our first time at Izumi and we were celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Brad was our waiter/server and he was so helpful and friendly and Fernando was our cook and he was hilarious and so entertaining. The food was so tasty and there was so much of it! My boys were impressed with the sushi too. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back!”

“Just so everyone knows this is a side business INSIDE of Johnny Carino's. On their website it says, "Famous Dave’s menu items are being offered as part of Johnny Carino’s restaurant."I ended up getting the Georgia Chopped pork sandwich with a side salad and they were both pretty tasty.”

“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.”

“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”

“El charro breakfast burrito always hits the spot. Just like chipotle though prices have risen (i rem when they were 5-7$ ) now they are 11+ plus the portion has shrunken over the years. Used to be huuuuge now they are just big.”

“It's was great. During covid I was not impressed with this location but the new staff and the quality of food was on point the last few times I've been there.”

“There has DEFINITELY been improvement from the last time I was here. They got my order out quickly and the food tasted GREAT!! I’m glad it’s back to tasting like sonic again. 10/10”

“I just wanted to thank you for making my daughter's night special. We are trying to celebrate her graduation as best we can and stopped in to get her a treat, you added on a free shake! It really made her feel special. Thanks!”

“young lady's customers service”

“Ordered 2 different sushi burritos, the Volcano and the Rainbow and both were delicious! I think the only thing that this place could use would be a new look. From the outside and even a bit on the inside, it looks kinda shabby. I often forget about this spot due to how it can come across as looking closed.”

“I had an amazing meal there and one person stood out the brightest I think her name was kaytlyn cute little blond girl. definitely recommend the service”

“One of the only small family owned businesses I've found in the Treasure Valley that feels local. Food was wonderful, staff was nice, and you can tell they really care about what they're doing. Will be back!”

“All around great place! Amazing food! Amazing staff! So friendly! Great prices! The Cuban grilled cheese is amazing, banana bread is amazing, soups are amazing! Best of all is it’s mostly gluten free. Which works for me!😁 definitely will be coming back! Hands down 10/10! If you haven’t been there you need to try it! What a hidden gem!”

“The Mac & Cheese² was wonderful as always. My fiancé got the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak, which he loved as well. The waitress Karen was lovely. She was on top of switching out drinks. We had good conversations with her. Everything was just amazing. I can't recommend this place enough.”

“excellent bbq and people, go with confidence.”

“Consistently excellent food and fantastic customer service. Extensive menu with great pricing. One of our favorite restaurants!”

“First time at Terri's Cafe. Food was great with general amounts, service was spot on and our waitress (Lyalka) was enjoyable.”

“The meatball and Italian subs were so delish… we will be back!”

“The ice cream is creamy and good. But after reading the ingredient list I won't go back as they use high fructose corn syrup in their ice cream.”

“I have been here with my kiddos but we are from out of town, so I had to return with my entire family to make another great experience & to make great memories! Highly recommend best experience & best pizza I have ever ate.”

“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning”

“I LOVE CUPBOP!!!! I tell my husband that Cupbop is never a bad idea! There food is delicious and fresh plus a shout out to Malanie your AWSOME! She's always sweet and welcoming !!!!”

“Chloe was AMAZING, always made sure we had everything we needed and visited us often with funny jokes and good food. 10/10 server, 10/10 food. The breadsticks and sauces were top notch and always fresh 😎🤘🏽”

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service”

“Brought our family for dinner and the food was extremely fresh! It’s been a while since I’ve seen the kids eat everything and eat that fast!! Will definitely come again!”

“Went to the In-N-Out Burger in Meridian on Veterans day. They have been there for a little over a year, and their lines continue to be long. Their food was delivered to us hot and smelling great!”

“These are the best bagles I have found. I love their jalapeno bagle and their jalapeno bagle dog. The staff are always so friendly. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. They have made Santa's nice list.”

“Got takeout for dinner tonight and it was wonderful and delicious! Husband got the gyro dinner and I ordered the falafel dinner. Everything came out fresh and perfect! The Greek salad is light and very refreshing. The rice was so very flavorful and left us wanting more. I’ve had Greek food in a lot of places and they are very good. The tzatziki was perfect accompaniment to each entree. Definitely check this place out!”

“My Family visited Proper Pizza for the 1st time tonight. The best thin crust pizza in the valley. The man who served us was so friendly and nice. We will be back!”

“Phenomenal environment! Highly recommend”

“It's a quaint little dinner, with absolutely huge portion sizes, great waitress, and even better food. It was very clean and inviting... 10/10 would recommend again and again”

“while I love Uncle Bob's probably should have prepared for the Halloween rush better. I ordered at 2:30 for pick up at 5:15, got there and was told it would be an additional 20 to 30 minutes. I did feel bad for the staff because people were angry. Just a suggestion for next year!”

“I can tell oriana cooked the food it was so good. 5 stars, 10/10 would do it again”

“I lived in New England for a long time and also parts of New York for a couple years, 42nd Street slices in downtown was great . I also had pizza from the oldest pizza joint in Connecticut. When I moved to Idaho I was worried about finding a NY style pizza that not only looked the part but tasted great as well......FUGET ABOUT IT, no need to look any further ! Jonny Bronx is like eating at home.”

“We love the Sidecar Bar!! Issac and Ness are the best mixologists around. Bonus feature is cuisine from Grant’s next door….best burger in town!”

“So many sushi I havent tried before but all so good! I recommended a 1000th percent go here. And everyone was so nice”

“Walking into this candy shop felt like stepping back into my childhood. The owner was so warm and welcoming – she made me feel like an old friend, sharing stories and even helping me find a candy that reminded me of my grandma. It brought back such sweet memories.

The shop itself has that old-school, charming vibe that’s hard to find these days, with glass jars full of colorful sweets and the unmistakable smell of fresh candy. If you’re looking for a place that makes you feel like a kid again, this is it. I can’t wait to go back!”

“I am instantly in love with their burgers! Like holy moly! I’d seen this place several times but never stopped in til today. The fries and everything were so fresh! The staff was really nice too”

“Freddie's in Eagle is our family's favorite place to go. Ask for Lisa; Our experience has always been phenomenal with her and she's so sweet and smily. She's super friendly and helpful with food suggestions. Their custard and french fries and chicken are our favorites. Lisa makes the experience 1000x better, we love her!”

“I have tried multiple things here from the burgers, croissant sandwiches, the long sandwiches, the hot dogs, the bubble waffles, the drinks, the desserts and many of their pasties and everything had been absolutely delicious. I look forward to taking my family here when they visit from out of town. The tropical crepe cake is one of my favorite things ever. I still have quite a bit of stuff to try and I'm so glad.”

“Great food, low prices and the people that work here are the nicest. Try them out!”

“Always have the best time here!”

“We've eaten here 3 times and wait times have always been long. Beware you may have to wait quite awhile - for dine in OR for pick up. Doesn't matter. Tonight, we ordered two entrees for pick up and waited 75 minutes for our food - on a Tuesday. Ramen is fantastic. Fried rice entree is amazing. The curry rice noodle entree is not good - zero sauce, very very dry. It is more like a curry "rub" on noodles...They do accommodate special requests well. If they hired more staff it would be a huge help.”

“Great neighborhood location where beer, family & friends and possibly a family pet can gather either in or out for good fun in a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff and good cold drinks make for a nice time.”

“So I was out of the area for a conference. I went to a few local breweries, and one of them had this taco stand place. I am from Orange County California and we have a lot of taco places, but this place was awesome! Not just the food, but even few local breweries, and one of them had this taco stand place. I am from Orange County California and we have a lot of taco places, but this place was awesome! Not just the food, but even the couple people that were working making tacos, etc. Started talking to one guy. His name was Carlos and he actually is the one that started this business and makes all the food sauce is everything homemade. Coming from California where a lot of stuff is just premade you open a can this was awesome and so is the beard. Thank you Carlos for taking care of me and my friend, your tacos are awesome. Thank you heading back to California tomorrow.”

“The best sourdough sandwich I've tasted in decades. The owner was friendly and staff was right on top of everything and friendly. I've only scratched the surface of what they offer. A wonderful place with great food! 5 Stars!”

“it was so good. pleasant atmosphere”

“LOVE THEIR PIZZA?? The Gent that helped my Son and I great personality and eyes.”

“The TOMATO on the BLT was perfect! Great customer service and as always wonderful food! The macaroni salad is a must!”

“Best BBQ! We love this place. Second visit in the last month, and the food is SO good. So smokey and flavorful-everything is cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere and excellent service. There was an obnoxious table nearby this go-round, and the manager graciously addressed the party. This is one of our favorite local spots. Highly recommend!”

“Wife and i went here for a gathering and the service and food were great. I recommend giving it a try.”

“Had a new server and we couldn’t believe how capable and qualified he was for never working in the industry…. This place truly cares you can feel it from the wait staff, to the kitchen….. come in for an authentic experience of a truly nice sports pub…. It doesn’t hurt that they have true sports fans in here……. good place to watch a BSU game or any other game they will accommodate. If you can ask for Alejandro he is amazing.”

“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.”

“We absolutely love the atmosphere and the artwork on the walls at this spot. Their fruit bowls are one of our favorites in the Treasure Valley - definitely the go-to place for a fresh, delicious treat!”

“This Blimpie store on Main St in Meridian is so good; clean; efficient and loaded with friendly staff! Our orders are always done the way WE LIKE THEM! The staff are always friendly. Our to go orders are correct. When we order food for our helpful worker-friends, they've loved it all! The Moxie Java that's also there makes this Blimpie location perfect. The management staff are terrific, too. Keep up the standard of excellence, cause it shows!”

“Nicole is our favorite waitress. She is always so friendly and kind. She is so efficient. She always recognizes us when we come in. She has never made a mistake on our order either. We go for breakfast every Wednesday. We love Shari’s because of Nicole . She is an asset to Shari’s.”

“Meet with friends or come in for a quick drink. Friendly staff, great food.”

“Service was excellent and the food delicious! Thank you!!”

“Ate at the Rice Work July 9th. Ordered the teriyaki, veggies with rice. The rice was way over cooked and the veggies consisted of all broccoli and was under cooked. Chicken was so so. Would rate this meal just above garbage.”

“The ice cream is creamy and good. But after reading the ingredient list I won't go back as they use high fructose corn syrup in their ice cream.”

“We used Walking Sombrero food truck for an event 4/22/23 and everyone really enjoyed the food. It was fresh and delicious! Very kind staff and really easy to work with. Great communication with the owner getting our event serviced. I highly recommend the food truck for your next event! Great variety of food options for adults and kids. Nice choices of meats too!”

“So many sushi I havent tried before but all so good! I recommended a 1000th percent go here. And everyone was so nice”

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service”

“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.”

“the food was great warm and fast served well made nice people friendly environment to kids and lots of food. definitely would recommend trying even If your not a fan of Mexican”

“Portions are just right and meals are very good. Cooking as a single person is not fun anymore. Prices are very helpful for budgeting as well. My discovery has been very life saving as I eat real food and know it is always good.”

“I just had to write a review to acknowledge the great lunch we recently had the pleasure of having at Marie Callender's in Meridian. My friend and I were on our way home (to Council) from Salt Lake City and were looking for somewhere to have a good lunch, well this was definitely the place to go! It was the best meal we had in the last 2 days and it didn't cost us an "arm and a leg". and we each had a slice of pie!!! When in this area next time this is where to go!! Great staff as well!!”

“Great chicken option. We came through the drive thru at 3pm when it wasn't too busy, so our order was made fresh. The chicken was lightly breaded and the quality of the chicken meat was excellent. I feel it was worth the wait to get the chicken made fresh. I don't know if they make it fresh every time, but I feel they should. I think most people, like me, would be willing to wait the extra few minutes for fresh chicken. I only left 4 stars for atmosphere, but that's only because I only came through Thre drive thru and didn't go into the building”

“Went to the In-N-Out Burger in Meridian on Veterans day. They have been there for a little over a year, and their lines continue to be long. Their food was delivered to us hot and smelling great!”

“I wasn't sure what to expect when we first tried Dave's Hot Chicken. If you're looking for a range of hot chicken tenders and sandwiches, the food and service are really good. It's not crispy chicken, however. It's a rub, and it's delicious.

I got the #4 slider, which is plenty of food! I ordered the Reaper spice level, because that's how I roll, and it is not for those with weak taste buds. Thoroughly enjoyed it!”

“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.”

“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”

“Excellent food and service!”

“The Wisconsin chain made it to Idaho. Good too! The place is clean as a whistle, the food is fairly priced, and salads are no-cost alternatives to fries. Make sure to order a frozen custard. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful too. This place is a winner in every way, except that the area's traffic is terrible.

A second visit was enlightening. I was early for a lunch date. The manager let me have a solo cup for a drink while I waited. Then I skipped the cup when my lunch date showed up and we later ordered our meals. Very nice customer service.”

KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning”

“The Mac & Cheese² was wonderful as always. My fiancé got the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak, which he loved as well. The waitress Karen was lovely. She was on top of switching out drinks. We had good conversations with her. Everything was just amazing. I can't recommend this place enough.”

“They always try to make sure you can get in and get out as quick as possible while making sure they give you a smile loved the customer service so glad they are open late too lol”

“Chloe was AMAZING, always made sure we had everything we needed and visited us often with funny jokes and good food. 10/10 server, 10/10 food. The breadsticks and sauces were top notch and always fresh 😎🤘🏽”

“I have tried multiple things here from the burgers, croissant sandwiches, the long sandwiches, the hot dogs, the bubble waffles, the drinks, the desserts and many of their pasties and everything had been absolutely delicious. I look forward to taking my family here when they visit from out of town. The tropical crepe cake is one of my favorite things ever. I still have quite a bit of stuff to try and I'm so glad.”

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service”

“Great experience! Catered wonderfully to our allergy needs! Were very sensitive to our celiac disease and went over and beyond to make it safe for us.. so appreciate the caution they took! First restaurant my son has been able to go to for the last 3 years; made his day! I realize not all red robins may be as cautious but the one in meridian on eagle was terrific!”

“I can tell oriana cooked the food it was so good. 5 stars, 10/10 would do it again”

“Let me begin with a disclaimer: I have lived a full life. I have kissed mouths that were made of sin and stardust. I’ve tasted truffle risottos in overpriced restaurants where the waiter looked down on me for asking for more bread. But none—none—of those experiences compare to what happened between me and Chili’s Baby Back Ribs. First bite? Instant goosebumps. I closed my eyes and saw my ancestors nodding in approval. The meat is so tender it practically slides off the bone like it’s trying to seduce you. And the sauce—oh God, the sauce—is like a smoky, sweet whisper in your ear saying, “You’re never going back to dry chicken breasts again, baby.” I was knee deep in bbq sauce. Let’s address the elephant in the Chili’s dining room: Yes. The Office. Yes. “🎵 I want my baby-back, baby-back, baby-back…” was sung. Yes. I wept a little imagining Kevin Malone wiping his mouth and going back for more. This isn’t just a meme—it’s prophecy fulfilled. This wasn’t dinner. This was foreplay. This was therapy. This was my Roman Empire. If loving these ribs is wrong, I don’t want to be right. And if this is the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth (and trust me, the competition was stiff), then so be it. My mouth has spoken. And it speaks only the gospel of Chili’s. Amen. Pass the wet wipes.”

“I love Sol nutrition. Currently prepping for a bodybuilding competition, and when I really need a sweet treat without the guilt I head here! The staff is always so sweet, and their protein shakes and tea bombs are my favorite. Took my daughter there this morning and she enjoyed a protein Waffle. We will be back many times.”

“best burrito I've had in a long time. don't change anything.”
