“It was really pretty good sushi. We ordered online and got it to go. Finding a parking spot was a little rough but it was worth it. I walked in and the bar tender asked my name and said he’d be right back. He returned with the order and I left. Literally less than two minutes!”
“Stopped by Thursday night. They had a band playing outside. Called last minute to drink some wine. Super accommodating and pet friendly outside on their gorgeous patio. The wine was amazing, the menu even better! My husband and I looked at each other and said we could order one of each. He had the clam chowda (as he says being from Massachusetts) and I had the lamb chops. The soup was not lacking clams at all and the lamb was cooked to perfection. We will be back next time we are in town!”
“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.”
“My son brought me in. He had to deliver stuff to their kitchen when they opened and was so impressed by the cleanliness that he remarked about it to me. He had eaten there and was also amazed by the food and service. I've had a few things to eat there. Burnt ends are my favorite...Melt in your mouth tender and perfect flavor. And the staff, even the folks who work in back will come out to get you what you need if the cashier has stepped away. It's a cheerful place, I'd just spend time in if I could for absolutlely no reason, but the food!!!!!”

“My friend and I had dinner last night and it was fabulous! I had the mango habanero shrimp tacos and they were delicious! Great service and I loved that the water glasses were real glass and not cheap plastic. It's the small things that matter too. Definitely recommend!”
“Main dishes are great. Apps selection could e expanded and changed up. Portions on the appetizers are smaller. Great teaser salads. Shawna was our waiter and she knocked it out of the park. She and the staff create, yet another, wonderful dinning experience.”
“They are very accommodating and run by an amazing family. They offer a wide variety of food, a full bar and fun entertainment (live music, karaoke, and a full stage set up for performances, even bring your own...magic shows :) They can accommodate large groups and have a popular take out or delivery kitchen. They are not just a restaurant with a bar. They are not a sports bar. They are different and I'm always pleasantly surprised each time I go there.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I’ve been to/ordered from Red Fort a lot, and always enjoyed it, but it’s those outlier experiences that get you to remember to write a review, for better or worse. Last night we celebrated my daughter’s birthday and we decided to DoorDash an order from them. This was a long distance order. We got the food, and as usual it was amazing. Absolutely stellar entrees. But something got mixed up in the kitchen and something sweet my kid ordered was seasoned savory, which just didn’t work. So I shot them an email, referencing my order number. I was expecting that they could double check to make sure no other orders had that issue, maybe give me a coupon for next time. No. A manager called me. Because of how far we are (30 minute drive), rather than reemploy DoorDash, he *personally* drove a fixed version of her item—plus extras—out to us. This was a smaller item, not her main food. We’d have been okay. But it made her birthday having the problem fixed. This is the best customer service I’ve received, and paired with the quality of the rest of the food and the fair prices, it pains me to say since they are a franchise, but Red Fort is quickly becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in the valley. Highly recommend.”

“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.”
“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.”

“We ordered to go as our first time eating here and the food was just phenomenal. Full of flavor and still warm when we got home with it. We had the carne asada ribeye plate (pictured, minus the delicious black beans) and my husband had pupusas. My toddler and I ate our entire plate. The dine in atmosphere when picking up our order was quant and lovely. The woman who took our order and did our checkout was so kind and welcoming. We will be back and I will be trying their espresso next. 😊”
“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!”

“Our family ate here for the first time today and would highly recommend it. The sushi rolls were excellent. I ordered the lunch special and had the Spicy Tuna roll, the spicy crab roll and the hot and sour soup. All were really tasty. Our server Steven was polite and very attentive with a great recommendation getting Superior Sake with my rolls, it was very complementary. My wife had the General Tsao chicken from a large menu that had a large non sushi selection. It was excellent too. My son ordered the dynamite roll with a crayfish topping. I sampled a piece and it was super tasty.
Since I had a light breakfast I ordered two more rolls from the lunch special. The Philly roll was delicious and the yellowtail/scallion roll was equally good. Overall this was a great experience and this is our favorite sushi place now. We will absolutely be going back for more. You will too if you give it a try.”

“Matador is an awesome Mexican restaurant with absolutely delicious tacos! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere is great, and the service really makes the experience even better.
Brad, the manager, is awesome and does a great job taking care of everyone. The entire waitstaff and bartenders were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service.
Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I definitely recommend Matador if you’re looking for some amazing Mexican food and excellent service! 🌮🔥”
“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 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!”
“Eight Thirty Common is a go-to! We've been visited multiple times over the last few years and it never disappoints.
We sat outside on our last visit, which was so nice. A fun touch is that their kids' menu is printed on the back of children's books, which gives the kids something fun to do at the table.
As someone who eats gluten-free, I also love that they offer GF burger buns and that their fries are gluten-free too.
I had the French dip (no bun) with a side salad, and it was fantastic. My husband got the steak and really liked it as well. Our kids got the kids burger which came with fries as well as a choice of apple sauce or veggie- the veggie was asparagus and it was seasoned really well!
We'll keep coming back!”
“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.”
“Great food , so many choices . It was a great value . All you can eat and drink. Alcohol and coke products are extra ( I didn't order either of those ) . Over all the service was outstanding. Food and drinks were delicious. 5 stars !”
“I had so much fun building a terrarium here! It’s great to get instructions and advice from someone who really knows about plants and is not only helpful but creates a relaxed environment 🪴”

“We had an outstanding experience thanks to our waitress, Ivey, who delivered truly excellent service from start to finish. We were a group of 8 and she handled everything with kindness, patience, and professionalism. Drinks were refilled quickly, orders were accurate, and she checked in often without ever making us feel rushed.
Her friendly attitude made the meal even better — she was attentive, upbeat, and made sure everyone at the table felt taken care of.
We left feeling grateful for her exceptional service. IHOP is lucky to have her, and we will definitely be returning because of the great experience she provided.”
“The drive thru in this particular McDonald's, gets it done! I made the fortunate late night stop for the standard McDouble, 5 piece and shake. The quality was consistant across the board, the service was quick and efficient, not even the shake slowed this team down! I'm Lovin' it!”
“your pizza is so delicious, and I love the price...I highly recommend...”

“Been wanting to try this place out for a while now and I finally went last night and it was delicious and excellent service. I got the red hawk I believe and it was very spicy. My boyfriend got the Boise burrito and it was very good! Definitely gonna come back to try the poke bowls. Our server who had pink hair was very sweet and welcoming.”
“We tried Soup Kettle for the firsr time after the Nampa location opened and we are addicted. We got at least twice a week, we've had their breakfast croissants, other sandwiches, soup and milk teas. Everything has been delicious and the employees are always so sweet and helpful.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Wonderful service, great food! We tried for the first time last week and were very pleased! The food was delicious, our server was very nice and took great care of us and even gave us a free dessert since it was our first visit. We will definitely go back again! Highly recommend!”

They offer a wide variety of food, a full bar and fun entertainment (live music, karaoke, and a full stage set up for performances, even bring your own...magic shows :) They can accommodate large groups and have a popular take out or delivery kitchen.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Best Landing Ever — 10/10 Would Fall Again” So there I was, minding my own business, enjoying the in-flight peanuts at 35,000 feet, when gravity decided to spice things up. One wrong step, and boom — I’m free-falling like a majestic bowling ball with commitment issues. No parachute, no plan, just pure aerodynamic panic. As I plummeted through the clouds, I saw my life flash before my eyes — mostly memories of me saying, “It’s fine, I’ve got this.” Spoiler alert: I did not got this. Then fate intervened. Out of all the places on Earth, I crash-landed right through the roof of Houston Hot Chicken like a meteor made of confusion and regret. I didn’t so much land as I reintroduced myself to the concept of gravity. Tables flipped, fries flew, and someone screamed, “Bro just DoorDashed himself!” The employees, absolute legends, didn’t even flinch. One handed me a napkin, another asked, “You want that mild or extra hot?” My spine said mild, but my soul said let’s make it worth it. I left that restaurant smelling like jet fuel and Nashville seasoning, but with a heart full of gratitude and a stomach full of dangerously good chicken. Final verdict: Service — 10/10 (They didn’t call an ambulance until I finished eating.) Atmosphere — explosive. Food — so hot it resurrected me. Would recommend? Only if you enjoy defying physics and good flavor. 🔥🍗 “Houston Hot Chicken — where the food slaps harder than the landing.””
“We are so fortunate to live close to El Molcajete and have come to love not only their food but their staff as well. Tonight, Juan and Brice were our serving team and they were impeccable. Friendly, great suggestions and consistently on top of our dining needs. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“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!”
“The experience here was amazing! We ordered online, I walked in and said our name, it was ready and waiting right there for me. I turned around and went home. When I got there, my wife and I put the kids to bed and spent time together before having dinner. When we opened it we were in for a big surprise! The food was great, but they even took the time to write a little thank you note on each of our napkins. Will definitely be coming back and would encourage anyone to support companies like this one who takes care of their customers!!”
“Took my family out to dinner here, and it was AMAZING!!! Very delicious, and Antonio our server was very professional at what he does, and he made us feel really welcome. I'll surely come eat here again!! A+++++++ Food & service!”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“We go there every. single. weekend.- it's that good. Everyone is super friendly! The service is consistently exceptional, no matter if it's Rickie, Andi, Emerson, or Natalie. They are all fabulous! ( I'm forgetting the name of the gal who just got married, but she's great too!). We love everything from the waffles, chicken fried steak, biscuits & gravy, sausages, and country potatoes. It's no wonder they are always busy, but somehow we never have to wait that long. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!”
“I love this Cupbop so much!!! I’ve been coming here for months now and it’s rare I’m ever disappointed with my meal. I always get a Koko Bop with a level 5 sauce plus the white sauce and it is perfection. Plus the workers are usually very nice and have good service!”
“In-N-Out is simple, consistent, and does what it does really well. The menu is basic, but the food is always fresh and dependable. The burgers and fries taste the same every time, and I like knowing exactly what to expect when we stop here. It’s an easy choice when you want a straightforward burger and fries.”
“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!”

“Love this restaurant. The owner actually cares if the customer is happy and he listens. Best Chicken Marsala ever and love the alfredo sauce as well.”
“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!”
“This place is the best in Meridian! The staff knows what customer service is, especially Alec and Emma! The food and choices are great! I’m not much of a drinker so go the there strictly for the food! and the service and vibe! Have and will recommend to everyone I know!!”
“Came in at about 8pm on a monday and Agam was my waiter he did an absolutely fantastic job! Great service. Probably the best service ive had at any hibachi restaurant ever. The food was great I had the hibachi steak and chicken, cooked perfectly couldve used a tiny but more salt but a little bit of soy sauce took care of it. If you havent tried a cucumber recreshing drink, try their Cucumber Cooler, absolutely delicious and refreshing! Great portions too! Food came out super quick. All in all great experience and will be returning again!”
“I got the chicken stripes and husband got a burger everything was really good and we sat outside 👍”
“We are visiting Utah from CT and stopped here for lunch yesterday. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Great atmosphere and attentive manager in the Riverdale location. Highly recommend!”
“I spent years with a peruvian caretaker eating foods that you cant often find these days in our area. At a local food park, I found machu pichu and was immediately transported back to home. thanks <3”
“See my other rating. I just want everyone to know that this business has no integrity.”
“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!”
“Great service with a smile and they modified our order per our request. The margaritas were large and the chips and dip were great. We did not have to wait very long for our food and it was served hot. I highly recommend it.”
“Very nice to sit outside and listen to music on Friday nights. great food also!”
“I love this place at the Village at Meridian. We were at the movie theater and decided to get tickets for the 21+ section. I ordered a burger and fries and my friend ordered the macaroni and cheese balls. Everything was excellent but I forgot to take pictures of the food lol. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had especially for just $11 with the fries. Our drinks were excellent and really inexpensive. I don’t remember what they were called, the server suggested something and that’s what we got.”
“If you are gluten free this place will easily become your new favorite. Most (if not all) of their pasta dishes can be made with gluten free pasta, and their gf pizza dough is fantastic. As someone with an allergy, it can sometimes be a challenge going out to eat, however our waitress was very knowledgeable and guided us through the menu, while the kitchen took extra caution to not cross contaminate. My partner ordered unmodified menu options and they were equally pleased with their food. We cant wait for an excuse to go back for more.”
“Love the lobster bisque and rolls with honey butter! I also lost my wallet in the parking lot yesterday, staff found it and held it for me! And they wouldn’t take a reward!”
“The staff here is very cool and understanding to anyone that needs a spot to hang out for a sec. Bartenders have been nothing but sweet woman to me so I recommend stopping by and supporting them and getting some food and drink.
P.S. When the nice bartender says its time to go home. She is prolly right and you should leave lol.
Thanks White Water”
“Went to El Tenampa to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Boise State University. The main server was a great guy, Hispanic, in his 50s and struck me as someone who actually might be the owner. There were 10 of us yet we got seated within 3 minutes. The food was great and reasonably priced but the best part was this man's constant attention to us. He must have visited our table 15 times bringing food and refills on drinks. He addressed us as "amigos" and "primo" in the most friendly way. His love of working in this restaurant and serving the public was plain to see and he could teach a course on how to be an excellent server. I live over 400 miles away but his great service to our family on my daughter's special day will make me want to visit El Tenampa again!”
“I'm a Cajun from da mouth of the South (New Iberia, LA) and I approve of this place. We boil dem crustaceans in the seasoning, tho. Also, check out Louisiana Soul Bayou by the IMAX theater if you want legit Cajun food, made fresh by someone from my back of the woods!”
“Outstanding gentlemen at the register! And phenomenal customer service! Food is always on point! Not to mention the restaurant is cleaner than before!”
“Just went to Kona again today 7/27/22, this place is awesome- they have best gluten free items. my favorite salads- so YUM Ian ( our server) was superb everytime i am in Meridian i come to Kona”
“Great lunch menu, had the bow tie pasta with chicken and it was wonderful. Good and friendly service, and good prices.”
“I came in and made an order for 6 traditional and 6 boneless wings they gave me boneless but I didn't check my bag before I got back to the hospital room when I saw the mistake I called in and explained and asked for traditional. I came back for them and walked out the door, thought to check them just in case and they were wrong. So I turned around and explained to the girl that I asked for traditional and she rudely told me that's what I got and then when I said they were boneless she said that's what I asked for and then I kindly but firmly insisted that I didn't ask for boneless, I wanted traditional, she got mad and stormed off to the back and came back and yelled at me that the manager said if I wanted my wings I had to pay for them. I called my boyfriend very upset because this was just one of those things that was the last straw, my boyfriend is in the hospital, he almost died yesterday, and now he's admitted and getting yelled at over wings was just overwhelming. He called in and they finally gave me my correct wings but not without mean remarks before their kitchen doors even closed. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm just disappointed you guys had no kindness.”

“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”
“My son brought me in. He had to deliver stuff to their kitchen when they opened and was so impressed by the cleanliness that he remarked about it to me. He had eaten there and was also amazed by the food and service. I've had a few things to eat there. Burnt ends are my favorite...Melt in your mouth tender and perfect flavor. And the staff, even the folks who work in back will come out to get you what you need if the cashier has stepped away. It's a cheerful place, I'd just spend time in if I could for absolutlely no reason, but the food!!!!!”

“In-N-Out is simple, consistent, and does what it does really well. The menu is basic, but the food is always fresh and dependable. The burgers and fries taste the same every time, and I like knowing exactly what to expect when we stop here. It’s an easy choice when you want a straightforward burger and fries.”
“We had an outstanding experience thanks to our waitress, Ivey, who delivered truly excellent service from start to finish. We were a group of 8 and she handled everything with kindness, patience, and professionalism. Drinks were refilled quickly, orders were accurate, and she checked in often without ever making us feel rushed.
Her friendly attitude made the meal even better — she was attentive, upbeat, and made sure everyone at the table felt taken care of.
We left feeling grateful for her exceptional service. IHOP is lucky to have her, and we will definitely be returning because of the great experience she provided.”
“Their food is great but they are not limiting the amount of customers here during the Covid crisis. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was packed. All tables were full. People were not 6 ft apart and there was a crowd in the lobby which is a small area. I can see it was all about the money here and not safety. That being said, the food was good. The chow rice was 5 minutes later getting to us but was fresh and hot. We did not eat everything and asked for a to go box and the waitress said "you were not very hungry!" The seats need replacing as they are worn out and they were not following the cleaning protocol very well. I may go back some day as the honey almond shrimp is to die for!”
“A very fun place to go alone, with friends, or with family! They have really good food, and they offer *sizes* of ice cream cones. I was able to get one about the size of my head. It was absolutely wonderful. They have great treats, which is one of the things I love the most about Fanci Freez. Their food is definitely worth trying as well, though. Their fries are an absolutely lovely crispy texture. The breading for the chicken strips is also very crispy and it's just delightful. You get as much food or more than what's worth the price you pay. They use authentic ingredients for their shakes (for example, they use real strawberries for their strawberry shakes).”
“I was just in there today 9/18/26 and picked up at 1245. Everyone in the store absolutely killed it. The younger dude up front was super chill and whoever was cooking made some of the best wings I’ve had in town which was a total surprise. My order had lots of easy to mess up things like extra sauce, extra meat etc. and everything was perfectly executed.
This is my 3rd cupbop store I’ve tried and y’all Monica Lewinsky’d the other two away, no contest.”
“Great amazing atmosphere, Staff are friendly and inviting. And the margaritas are better than Las Vegas”

“I really love this place! The water glasses that they kept on that table were super fancy, and it made it so I didn't have to wait for a drink. My friend and I both had a great time with our waiter Rachel! She was really nice, and came to talk to us like we had known each other for a long time, even though this was our first time there! This is an amazing restaurant, and I'm thankful to be going here.”
“I dined in earlier today and the service was great! It was right during a rush and everyone was so friendly to me! Emma was the highlight, she was so kind and is honestly the sweetest!! My pizza was cooked perfectly by sam and honestly would recommend this location to everyone. Big props to everyone on shift.”
“We took the grandkids in and the churros were fresh and warm, soft inside and delicious! We were greeted well and one of the owners was working. She was so friendly and even gave us an additional taste test of some freshly made churro brownies and they were wonderful! Bring the kids and remember to be a kid when you bite into the crunchy, gooey deliciousness of their churros!!”
“We are so fortunate to live close to El Molcajete and have come to love not only their food but their staff as well. Tonight, Juan and Brice were our serving team and they were impeccable. Friendly, great suggestions and consistently on top of our dining needs. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
“First timer here. My kids wanted to try it plus I've always been a little curious. I got the traditional I believe? 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and whole wheat toast. My meal tasted great! The bacon could've been a little less burnt though but other than that it was good. My eldest daughter said she loved the sausage the kids meal came with, the French toast could be better but also she was comparing it to her favorite local breakfast place. My youngest daughter barely had any of her pancake. It was a plain pancake, so I decided to try it. It tasted really healthy haha it was just okay. Plus the syrup was really hard to pour, I love the natural stuff but this one was just harder to come out of the bottle and it wasn't my favorite syrup. I wouldn't say they have the best sweet stuff but their savory options seemed yummy! The server was really nice at least and very attentive! I have a feeling we won't be by often though especially with a local breakfast place we enjoy is just as close to us.”
“After traveling all over the treasure valley and beyond, I have to say this is hands down the BEST place for a coffee! House made syrups and a delicious roast, the cold foam! I love the people, they are always so kind and helpful. My kids love coming by to play while I relax or grab a cake pop on the go! We will be frequent flyers forever!”
“The food here was a 12 out of 10. It was excellent. I eaten before at the downtown Bombay on 10th and loved it. That's why we came to this new location. I had the lamb curry and my wife had the chicken tikka masala. Both were excellent, and I would order them again. And of course we had naan, because why wouldn't I? Mmmmm! This store is definitely not the same feel as downtown. But we didn't expect it to be. It's made to stop and eat amongst all the other quick serve places by the Village. My only negative was that the waitress was not very friendly. She may have been having an off day, but she was not near as friendly as they are downtown. All this being said, next time I'm on Eagle Road I'll definitely stop there again. I'm excited to stop for their buffet they have every day for lunch. I would highly suggest Bombay Grill! Stop in and see for yourself.”

“I’ve been to/ordered from Red Fort a lot, and always enjoyed it, but it’s those outlier experiences that get you to remember to write a review, for better or worse. Last night we celebrated my daughter’s birthday and we decided to DoorDash an order from them. This was a long distance order. We got the food, and as usual it was amazing. Absolutely stellar entrees. But something got mixed up in the kitchen and something sweet my kid ordered was seasoned savory, which just didn’t work. So I shot them an email, referencing my order number. I was expecting that they could double check to make sure no other orders had that issue, maybe give me a coupon for next time. No. A manager called me. Because of how far we are (30 minute drive), rather than reemploy DoorDash, he *personally* drove a fixed version of her item—plus extras—out to us. This was a smaller item, not her main food. We’d have been okay. But it made her birthday having the problem fixed. This is the best customer service I’ve received, and paired with the quality of the rest of the food and the fair prices, it pains me to say since they are a franchise, but Red Fort is quickly becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in the valley. Highly recommend.”
