“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.“

“I love Their FISH TACOS! The best!“

“Just one false fact... Litre House was the original bar consisting of only the horseshoe bartop and 6 outer bar tables. The private round table and the construction crew table right of the front door. That was it. Hooligans has only been Hooligans since around 2000 not 1983“

“McCleary's is a good old fashioned pub. where everyone knows my name. the servers are all so friendly. I can't think of a better place to hang out with some friends, sit around the outdoor fire, and have a nice cold drink! Five 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠 💫!!!“

“The Local ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Local in Boise is “a neighborhood Eatery and Wine Pub, offering live music and rotating artists.” They also have a dog, friendly patio and a Dog menu. MW and I visited during Happy Hour, which is Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM. We ordered a mix of items off of the happy hour menu and the regular menu. We started with Hurricane Popcorn - A Hawaiian favorite - with Nori Furikaki and Japanese rice crackers. It was very flavorful and unlike any popcorn I’ve ever had before. This is a unique menu items The Local is known for. We ordered two side Caesar salads. I like that it had homemade croutons, but it needed a little more more dressing.  We shared an order of Carnitas Street Tacos, to which we added 1 extra taco. The pork was tender, but the tacos were pretty bland. We shared an order of Smash Sliders - 3 smash burgers using our own custom burger blend from Porterhouse in Eagle, with classic American cheese. They were tasty. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo! We shared two desserts: Berry Crisp - Blackberry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. The berry crisp was excellent! Crème Brûlée - Simple and delicious vanilla crème brulee. The crème brûlée was good, but not great. The texture wasn’t as creamy as it should’ve been. We visited early on a weekday, so we didn’t get to hear any live music, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves until towards the end of our visit. Overall, the food was good, but not great. However, they do have a bigger menu than most wine bars and they allow dogs on the patio. The Dog Menu looks excellent! The Local has a nice Wine Menu, as well as several local beers on tap. If you’re looking for a nice wine bar with a neighborhood pub vibe, The Local is worth considering. I would like to return and try their Pepe’s Famous Fish Tacos. The pictures of their flatbread look excellent too. * The Local is wheelchair accessible. Recommended!“

“Taphouse has one of the best burgers in Idaho. Trust me, add the Gouda. Their beer selection has no rival (other than maybe Yardhouse). Service is good. Prices are reasonable. 5-stars. Support local!“

“McCleary’s is hands-down my favorite dive bar in Boise. The vibe is immaculate, and the bartenders do a great job making sure everyone’s taken care of. There’s both an indoor bar and an outdoor bar. The crowd here is surprisingly young, and the backyard has tons of games. Giant beer pong, table tennis, Jenga, and more.

On Saturdays, they bring in live music, which is honestly the only day I avoid. It gets so loud you can’t really have a conversation, and it just isn’t enjoyable for me. Every other night, though, I love it, especially Fridays! I always end up meeting fun people, and the drinks are inexpensive.

If you’re looking for a spot to hang out with friends or meet a younger crowd, this is the place. If you’re into loud music and don’t care about talking, then Saturday nights are your jam.

This bar shines in the spring, summer, and fall. I skip it in the winter because the backyard doesn’t stay warm. They only have a couple of fire pits, and while they work, they’re not enough to make it cozy, you will still feel frigid. The indoor area is smaller than your typical dive bar: small, cramped, and it fills up fast when it’s cold out. But when the weather’s nice, this is the best dive bar in the valley.

Oh, and I don’t think they actually sell food, but every now and then there’s a food truck parked outside, which is a nice bonus.“

“This place is THE BEST! Staff is amazing and friendly; food is always good and a great range of beers!“

“AMAZING FOOD !! Went in around 10 on Wed night, not expecting anything great from a bar, but I was beyond impressed!! I got the finger streaks, and they were so incredibly tender and full of flavor and the fries were amazing too !(And half gone before I remember to snap a pic ) My son got the chicken sandwich, and it was huge ! Tyler welcomed my kids to the neighborhood and took such good care of us ! We'll be back for the French Dip !! 10 out of 10 !!“

“Sullys is still a favorite in Star for dining and drinks! Nice atmosphere, great pours, and the food is always good! Reasonably priced! Kelly and her staff are awesome!“
