50 Best American Restaurants near Star

“We love to go to Proof. We are always satisfied with the quality of food and their service is impeccable. They go out of their way to accommodate your requests. We haven’t tried eating outdoors as yet but we find the indoor dining to be cozy and even when it is crowded, you can still carry on a conversation without raising your voice. Just love their pizza and sandwich selections. Very yummy! We also enjoy the mimosas and IPA choices.“

“Best food i have ever had Service is a little slow but the food is fresh atmosphere is relaxing with the lights. I would get there club sandwich it is so spot on“

“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!“

“My “ranch boss” sandwich came served with just brisket, no chicken, no ranch. I took it back and they put chicken on it, still no ranch. The brisket was shredded into tiny pieces, making it hard to eat. Flavor was good but lacked ranch.“

“We went to celebrate my grandmas 96th birthday and the only seating was at the bar. We almost left but decided to eat at the bar. Jayden was our server and she was AMAZING!! I mean AMAZING!! The food was outstanding, drinks were top notch. Thank you Jayden for the amazing experience and service. We were very happy.“

“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.“

“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 is always excellent, everyone of the staff are the most cheerful and welcoming of any number of breakfast eateries! My go to place for days off and weekends.“

“We showed up with 11 people in our party tonight (Dec 21st) and the staff on shift did everything they could to accommodate us. They were gracious and sweet. From the host and hostess to our waitress (Toni) and all the other staff we spoke to, I can’t say enough how much we appreciated them. The food was great too! So even the team members we didn’t see were great representatives of Wingers! Thank you again so much!“

“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.“

“I have to give Dylan credit amazing server in a lot of fun. We had some strange cheese appetizer that I would’ve literally thousand pieces of if I could get away with it. My main course was fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I find myself eating a lot of the bread too. Lol please please please very great option for lunch. Affordable how are you my company? Enjoy the side salad with soup and I really had to tell you, you should order the nitro cold brew with cream if you need to wake yourself up. Again, compliments to the service, and the amazing layout of this restaurant I’ve been away from Boise for 15 years, in a very pleased to see some of the new additions as well as an eagle Cheers! Thanks again !“

“absolutely delicious 🤤 one of my favorite restaurants now.“

“Fantastic food! Our first time going there and everyone in my ground loved what they ordered. They have a pb and j burger which is my absolute favorite! Also there is a table for kids with some toys which was perfect for us.“

“Came to this establishment when they were extremely busy. No issues with this establishment they promptly took our order and had all of our food within 15 minutes. Everything tasted good and was hot. Waiter was very attentive and was a gem. Should have gotten his name for a shout out... but definitely a very nice establishment with good service. Really this place I would give a 4.5 as of the time I am writing this...“

“I love Their FISH TACOS! The best!“

“Excellent service with great food. They treat my family (especially my toddler) amazing! No matter her mood, the service we get has been consistent and great. The food is great! Have tried 3 different burgers on the menu and all have tasted really good. It’s a hidden gem that more people should try!“

“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!!“

“Second time at this Culver's. From Pierce County Washington. But whenever I'm in Boise I hit up this place. Fast food never tasted so good. The man who took our order was a shift lead named Matt. He was awesome. I mentioned it was only my second time there and he was happy to hear I was there. Not familiar with the Culver's menu so I asked his suggestions. Culver's Double Deluxe is a must have. Ice cream was amazing too. Good suggestions and a great customer service on his part, that man deserves a raise!

Would recommend to anyone, local or abroad!“

“We had a great dinner at Harvey’s! My boyfriend’s parents live in BanBury and we have never seen it so packed on a Friday night. There were a lot of new staff training and they handled it exceptionally. Our food was wonderful, I can’t complain about a single thing. We are picky drinkers and they accommodated every request. Shoutout to our server (I wish I remembered her name but she was cute and had dark dark hair) and shoutout to the chef for getting all of our orders out correctly and tasting fantastic. 10/10 tonight guys ✌️“

“Great place for a date night, we went to celebrate our anniversary which happens to be a couple of days before Valentine’s Day. We choose Crave as a suggestion from friends Ana family and because it had the red romantic vibe (we thought). The lights outside weren’t red like the photo, they’re blue, I think maybe they alternate colors? We ordered a couple of drinks, spinach & artichoke dip, short rib dumplings, oysters on a half shell, lobster crab roll, Thai steak and noodles. Everything was good, except the dumplings which were a bit doughy for my taste. Overall I can see why this is such a popular Eagle restaurant. They’re good for a lot of different occasions.“

“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!!“

“we were in there Tonight about 7 pm , we Ethan he seemed to get upset when we took a couple minutes to order , he was flipping his Hair which was not up at 1st , then he laid his head on the counter ,as if to say Hurry up, he did put his hair up finally . Very unprofessional , didnt set a good Vibe , Food was awesome as usual ,but Ethan needs some Guidance .“

“I had a lovely time, and the staff were very kind and helpful, checking on me often and answering any questions I had. It was very busy for the holidays but that did not stop the kind server who assisted me with my order on helping and checking on me, so very big kudos to her. The food was good, and it has plenty of vegan and healthy options for those who may want to eat out with friends.“

“Muy buena la comida . Solo está muy frío el restaurante, es . Mi lugar favorito de desayuno 🍳 .“

“I had breakfast there with my Mom this morning. The hostess Jess was very engaging with not only us but other customers as well. Very nice demeanor as well as accommodating.“

“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!“

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

“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 ?“

“Reasonable wait time considering how busy they were on a Saturday morning. Once we were seated, we enjoyed great service and food. It didn't take long to get our food and everything was exactly how we ordered. Looking forward to our next breakfast at First Watch.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“the food was fantastic and our waitress knocked it out of the park LOVE THIS PLACE“

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

“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.“

“wonderful bar well kept awesome owners friendly staff“

“Absolutely love Janet’s Cafe.. I use to always go to the ones in San Diego. I’m so thankful they are up here in Idaho now !! The cafe is decorated so adorable and the staff is friendly.
Food is muah chefs kiss kinda good !
I love their granola, French toast, and they’re gluten-free muffins. Highly recommend“

“Amazing burgers and so many flavors of yogurt! I love holding paint classes here! ♥️“

“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.“

“amazing burgers with the most delicious French fries my favorite spot when I'm traveling up 95!“

“I love the breakfast there and a large menu as well as the shopping after.“

“I came in early on a Sunday morning. Service was quick and the Americano I ordered was PERFECT. We are a celiac/Gluten Fee Family and the staff was very knowledgeable and made sure our food came marked GF. Earing out is difficult for us but this restaurant made it easy. We are not local but will definitely stop here on our way thru town next time. My only suggestion would be to know what the ingredients are in the GF pancakes as sometimes folks have allergies besides gluten. We are so grateful that you have choices for family like ours.“

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

“Of all the Golden Corral locations that I have been to, this has to be one of the better locations I've been to. The only reason for it not being full 5 stars is the fact that it's still just corporate chain restaurant food. Keep it up though. This is way better then most locations.

Vegetarian options: Great salad bar“

“Our company used the Meridian, Idaho location to cater breakfast to our office for over 160 people. All I can say is WOW. Everything was still hot and delicious. They were on time to the exact minute they said they would be here. We are very grateful and will certainly use them in the future. Shout out to Sarah and the Meridian Managers!! Thank you.“

“Visiting from Massachusetts and went to Big Al’s to watch the Pats game 12/14/25 Got the Nachos and Dad got the pizza First off great size on the nachos, tons of cheese and great flavors, Dad loved the pizza. Our server Corey was awesome and very attentive, we never had an empty glass at our table as he would bring out the next one before we ran out. He was also very informative about the menu and helped us make our selections. The whole staff was welcoming and even though they were closing early for a private event we never felt rushed at all. If you are ever in the area I would suggest coming to big Al’s especially to watch a sporting event. Next time I come to Idaho I will definitely be back to Big Al’s“

“Recently moved into the Nampa area from meridian. The Getaway has rapidly become one of my go-to places for food and drink. At a great price! haven't had anything bad off the menu yet. personal favorite is the Idaho dip! Along with the Tater kegs or pretzels for an appetizer are a must. The place has a good atmosphere around it. with a couple of pool tables and outside seating area. will continue to be a weekend spot for myself!“
