Good for an airport! We had a yummy little breakfast early morning on a Saturday. The benedict was surprisingly good, and I'm glad I got the sriracha on the side because it would've altered the flavor of what was actually a juicy, nicely seasoned piece of chicken and a pretty good hollandaise!! Partner said his was fine, but a little salty. Service was super friendly but food took a second to come out. Maybe just was an influx of orders after us? We had just enough time to catch our flight, but if we didn't come early it may have been an issue. Place was clean, tables all ready. TVs playing sports + a full bar. Gluten free buns available!!! read more

I've never been to BarDeNay in Boise, and this is my first time try it at the Boise Airport location. The burger is done very well, and the service was very good as well. The dining area is very open. With lighting that isn't too harsh, and a combination of booth and chair table seating options. I would recommend it if you need a meal before flight(s). read more

We stopped at Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery in the Boise Airport Alaska Airlines terminal before our flight, and it was the perfect way to kick off our trip! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and made to feel welcome. I ordered the Dirty Olive House Martini and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Bardenay is the nation's first restaurant and distillery, serving its own handcrafted spirits. Their house-distilled vodka made for one smooth and delicious martini! Our server, Sabrina, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She recommended the fish tacos, and they were absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the burger and fries, and he couldn't stop talking about how good they were. What really impressed me was Sabrina's attentiveness. As soon as she noticed my martini was getting low, she stopped by to see if I'd like another. I figured, "Why not?" I was about to spend a few hours on a plane and was hoping to catch some ! The bar and seating area were spotless, and we enjoyed watching FIFA on the TVs while we ate. Great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're flying out of Boise Airport, I highly recommend making time to stop at Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery before your flight for a quick cocktail/ bite. We'll definitely be back! read more

Restaurant was clean attractive. Came in for breakfast before an early flight. Service was lacking especially since it was near empty. Friendly but inefficient. Not the servers fault but they do not offer ANY hot tea products. Just coffee. Didn't bring my toast with the meal, chatted and visited with others then brought me my check and I had to ask for the toast. Not the servers fault either but it is ONE slice of toast. When I commented, she was cheerfully let me know that's "just how it is". Whatever you're saving on a slice of toast isn't worth it in poor perception. read more

I consider myself something of a seasoned devotee of Bardenay Distilling Co.--a loyal regular of their Eagle outpost, a pilgrim at the altar of their cocktails. So when I found myself at the Boise airport location, I arrived with hope in my heart and hunger in my soul. What followed was... a journey. Upon arrival, we were greeted not by a host, but by a sign. A simple command: "Seat Yourself." And so we did, like obedient travelers in a culinary choose-your-own-adventure. Minutes passed. Six? Ten? Time lost meaning. No greeting. No acknowledgment. Just the quiet hum of airport existentialism. Then, like a plot twist in a low-budget thriller, a woman appeared--not to welcome us, but to silently place a "section closed" sign nearby. No words. No eye contact. Just vibes... ominous vibes. She vanished as quickly as she came. More time passed. Finally, she returned to inform us that--surprise!--the section was closed and we needed to move. At this point, I can only assume we had unknowingly wandered into the domain of a Sith Lord. Her demeanor suggested she might force-choke the cocktail menu at any moment. Hospitality? Not her chosen path. The dark side? Strong. We moved. But then--salvation. Our actual server arrived, a beacon of warmth and competence in this otherwise emotionally complicated saga. Attentive, pleasant, and efficient, she single-handedly restored my faith in humanity (and airport dining). Now, the food: The chorizo soup? A triumph. Bold, flavorful, a spicy hug in a bowl. I would cross state lines for it. The dip sandwich? A tragedy. Limp. Spiritless. It didn't just make me sad--it made me reflect on sadness itself. The Bloody Mary? Perfectly... acceptable. It existed. It did its job. We nodded at each other. In the end, this was a meal of extremes: light and dark, joy and despair, soup and sandwich. Would I return? Yes--because I believe in redemption arcs. But next time, I may bring a lightsaber... just in case. (saved by the server and the soup) read more

Decided to eat here in the Boise Airport because the black bean & sweet potato chimichanga sounded good. I was not disappointed. Very tasty, good enough that I would've been happy even if I wasn't in an airport. The tortilla was fried to a delightful crisp. It wasn't spicy at all despite the jalapeños (maybe a HINT, but not anything you'd notice unless you're extremely sensitive to spice), which is probably a good thing for when you're about to get on a flight. Not too salty either. Also, as far as chimichangas go, it would probably be hard to get healthier than this. The side spinach salad (which is a smaller version of the pear spinach salad on the menu, just without the pears) was almost as notable as the main dish. I loved the balsamic-orange glazed walnuts. After tax, before tip, it was about $16.5, which I thought was an entirely reasonable price for this fairly large portion, even if it had not been served in an airport. My waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was reasonably fast. I've definitely had faster in airport restaurants where the food is clearly premade, but this was quick enough for a full service, seemingly freshly cooked meal. read more

BarDeNay - Black bean & sweet potato chimichanga - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

BarDeNay is conveniently located right past the TSA checkpoint and is right above the Alaska Airlines area. I ordered a glass of wine and the panzanella bruschetta salad with spinach (sub for the mixed greens), feta cheese, mozzarella, cucumbers, kalamata olives, tomato with champagne vinaigrette and garlic grilled rustic toast on top. This was one of the best salads I've had in a long time! I would stop here just for the salad alone. I enjoy that the restaurant has a nice view to watch the airplanes. The server was very attentive throughout my visit and the service was fast. The price was great for a glass of wine and salad. I would say this is one of the better airport meals and experiences I've had while traveling. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. I got the Bardenay dip. My goodness! This was delicious. It came with a choice of fries or salad. I got a spinach salad that came with pear, candies nuts, and gorgonzola cheese. Wow! So yummy. The sandwich itself was delicious. The sirloin was tender and so flavorful and the foccacia was soft and so delightful. I would have probably used a firmer bread so I could dip this more easily but it was still so good. The au jus was perfectly seasoned, with a hint of rosemary. Service was great and it's a great chill spot to grab a meal at the airport. read more

BarDeNay - French dip sandwich with a side of spinach salad. - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

For an airport restaurant BarDeNay was a pleasant surprise. They have a lot of good things going for them and just a few minor negatives. They have a full bar, several wine options and a reasonably good beer selection. I was especially happy with the food. The Bruschetta salad with champagne vinaigrette dressing was fantastic and the recommended "Dip" sandwich was equally good. Unfortunately, the fries were not a good as everything else. There are plenty of servers on duty so you shouldn't have to wait. In spite of that my server, who was extremely pleasant and helpful when it came to the food and beverage options, seemed to disappear for periods of time. The other relatively minor issue is the condition of the furniture. Some of the seats had tears and looked rough. I'm probably being a little harsh since it's an airport restaurant and I always grade these on a curve. Since I was so happy with the food and drinks. I will absolutely recommend this place. I only hope that the management sees this and fixes a few minor things. Then it would be 5 stars (for an airport restaurant). read more

Ate at the airport location. Took over an hour to get food. Had to inquire several times. The server was slammed. The fish and chips came out looking like charcoal briquettes. I would never recommend anyone eating here! read more

Unfortunately the food was just very basic and underwhelming. The steak pita needed more in it for the large pita it was in and need some kind of sauce to give it some more flavor . The chips and pico at 7.70 price was a huge portion of chips with a very small bowl of some tomato and onions (not horrible) but very bland The waitress was super nice but clearly overwhelmed covering so many tables she just couldn't keep up. They definitely are not staffed for a Saturday at the airport. I heard great things about this place but maybe need to try the one in Boise not at the airport... unfortunately it was a huge letdown for a $100 bill read more

It is a shame that there are not a lot of options t the airport. I ordered fish tacos, but it was more like burnt rubber served on a tortilla. There's no way the cooks could think the fish was overcooked. Just plain old laziness and lack of care maybe. They remade my meal and sent me raw fish instead. Can't make this crap up ‍ read more

Always love stopping here before flying out. I'm not a huge breakfast eater and they are always willing to do a side of bacon and toast. Their bacon is awesome! Service has always been nice and fast. Good selection of beers and wines. No hard alcohol before 10 or 10:30am. From what I can tell, they open at 5am, which is different from everything I've seen online. read more

I'll preface this review with the facts that I travel about 2-3 weeks out of every 5 and my expectations of airport food, with very few exceptions, is EXTREMELY LOW. this place failed to meet that bar. Actually if the bar for success was in the basement they would've missed by a few sublevels. Service was fine, they were busy and the waitress was trying her best. The food was absolutely the worst breakfast I've ever had in my life, and I've eaten warmed over military food, with dirty hands, after not showering for a week. I ordered the two egg breakfast, eggs over medium, potatos, and bacon. Food came out pretty quickly, but my eggs were raw. When the waitress dropped my plate, I literally watched the egg whites flow over the plate. Not sure how they accomplished this as the yolks looked almost cooked. I sent them back and should've just paid for my coffee and left. But hey, I'm a gambler. I stuck around for the sequel. Version 2.0 came out and they looked good, but the bottom of the plate was covered with oil. Potatos we're tasteless, bacon was limp, toast was not toasted. I can't believe they let that food out off the kitchen. I ended up eating I piece of toast, a bite of egg and a bite of bacon. Left money on the table and walked out Got a breakfast sandwich from smashburger down the terminal. At least that was edible. If you're at the Boise Airport, Terminal B and reading this. Save your money, not worth the price of a cup of coffee. read more

Beer was nice and cold, Hefeweizen waffle melted in my mouth. Aaron was very friendly and helpful in making choices for me! I'll be back next time for sure. read more

I have visited this restaurant in the Boise airport on several occasions this year and it's certainly one that I enjoy relaxing at and taking in a food or drink while I wait for my flight. The prices are reasonable, and the service is always good as well as a good variety of menu options to choose from for being an airport location. They also have their own distilled gin and vodka that they make creative cocktails with and I enjoy the skewers for a lite bite. read more

Dont bother stopping by this morning. The woman who was talkimg to her friemds doesnt have time to serve you. In fact she doesnt have the time to say hello, good morning or anything at all for that matter. Really does confuse me how places like this stay open with such poor staff more interested in talkingbwith their friemds than doing there job. Do not recommend. read more

This place is in a great location just past TSA checkpoint. It has a grea view of all aircrafts landing and taking off! A view of all Alaska Aline's flights! The service here was great and when asked about different foods, they gave an opinion and answer. Beer was tasty and refreshing plus water was provided when asked for. Price is normal for airport eateries! It was well worth it for the 3 and a half hours I had to wait for my second flight out! I will recommend and I will be back! read more

After a long work trip, this was a great spot to grab food and drinks. It's right outside of the screening area. I ordered a very light IPA and it was great! I want to highlight the service!

It was conveniently located right outside of the TSA checkpoint and close to our gate. They have bar seating as well as a bunch of tables. The staff is quick and efficient. They have some craft beers on tap, nothing local which was a bummer. They also make mixed drinks which were ok. We shared some appetizers: fries and chicken skewers. Both were good and did the trick. read more

Solid airport good and drink place...I hav killed a lot of time at this place waiting for flights. Each time there is always a seat and while the food is airport food it's a solid choice while in this airport. The staff is always super friendly and is very prompt. List of seating all around and the staff does a great job keeping the tables clear for patrons. The ambiance is the airport and has a great view of outside, the weather and makes you almost envoy want to be outside. My experience today was on part and my waitress was super friendly and nice. Will for sure be back. read more

A+ visit to Bardenay at the Boise Airport. My wife and I had the French dip and loved it. The meat was seasoned and the rosemary au jus was very flavorful. The service was fast and courteous. It was a nice way to relax before our flight. Looking forward to eating here again some day. read more

Good service, good food, relaxing place to wait for your boarding to start , I recommend the tacos they were really good.

BarDeNay - Outside looking in - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Dirty, torn up booths, out of stock on half of their beers / wines, and can't make a good cocktail. The BarDENay chain should be embarrassed to put their name on this. Massive step down from their restaurants read more

Arrived and tried looking at the menu but someone was blocking it while trying to order take out. The waitress was impatient with her questions and told her she needed to hurry up. When she came back for me, she said they were no longer taking anyone because they were too packed. I asked her if I could order take out and she said no. She proceeded to rope off the entrance literally around my body. Yikes. read more

I stopped by here for a drink and light appetizer before flying out. Beware, it's very overpriced but what do you expect at the airport? I wasn't about to get too crazy in BOI so I drank a very watered down Moscow Mule. I expected at least some taste but I don't think there was more than a teaspoon of vodka. Come on, I'm paying $7.50 for a tiny ass drink, at least make it taste good. After reviewing the rather unappealing appetizer menu I decided to order the Bruschetta Pomodoro. There was no photo so I had to base my decision all my the description. No big deal but pictures would be nice for those who aren't familiar with Italian terms beyond spaghetti (guilty AF). I've had spectacular bruschetta before so I had to try my might to not expect anything near what I had in Italy. The dish was presented beautifully - 6 neatly arranged pieces of grilled artisan peasant bread spread in roasted garlic and aged dry jack cheese surrounding a pile of roma tomatoes, carefully drizzled with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. It was very Instagram worthy! However, my mouth did not find the same satisfaction as my eyes. There was something off - I can't quite put my finger on it but perhaps the bruschetta was old. Or the vinegar was too strong. The tomatoes, however, were excellent. I'm sad to say I had pretty mediocre experience at Bardenay, and that's upsetting after the applause I've read and heard about the restaurant. Maybe it was just the wrong atmosphere. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. I'm looking forward to giving the downtown location a try and praying for a better experience. read more

Had 3 servers walk right past our group of 4 (two adults and 2 kids) as we waited at the please be seated sign with zero acknowledgement. 2 separate groups behind us were pulled out of line and seated ahead of us still with zero greeting or recognition. It's almost comical how terrible the service is. It's been 10 minutes! Haha. read more

The food is drastically different in taste and flavor from the Bardenay in the city. The service is moderate. My server greeted me with a menu, took my order, brought me my food, and brought my check and that was it. She didn't have time to check in how the food was tasting or to refill my water. The ambiance is your typical airport restaurant. Knowing how the food tastes here I would not choose to come back to the airport location. read more

Good offering at the Boise airport. The service was a little on the slow side but two servers working the dining by themselves was tough. They were constantly behind from how many customers each person had to cover. I had the Caesar Salad with double bacon, hold the anchovies and it was delicious. I highly recommend Bardenay in BOI, just make sure they aren't too busy or you might have slow service. Prices are good for an airport. read more

Ok... literally the worst service I've experienced in my entire life! The waitress brittany was beyond rude! We unfortunately, for her, sat at a dirty table. She lost her mind! She walked up to us and said, "why would you sit at a dirty table? There are other tables in here" as she stormed away. Truthfully, there were other empty tables but we are traveling with my 79 year old mother who doesn't get around well at all so she prefers an end table. When she returned, she repeated her rude remark so I requested the manager. The manager Michael Yetter came over and essentially tried to cover for brittany. I told him what I thought of her service in very clear terms and he threw us out. To Michael's credit, he somehow ended up at the walk up restaurant next door. He gave us breakfast for free and apologized for the earlier incident. We definitely appreciated his gesture. But based on brittany's customer service, she should not be in the service industry and should be fired.... Though i'm sure that is unlikely. Just my 2 cents on BarDeNay at the Boise airport. Don't bother going.... read more

I'll start by saying you need to have service to comment on the quality of the service. Sat sole at a table against the glass, was asked what I'd like to drink by the bar tender (who had the area), plus the bar. After my beer arrived I was not checked on at all. I watched two other groups seat around me, served their drinks and food, never once did the server/bar tender approach me. After 25 plus minutes I flagged down another server, who then notified the bartender. Yes, I could have gotten up and walked over to him and asked for his services. But that's not how it's supposed to work in the service industry. He finally came over and asked if I had decided. Yah think. Once the food was served, he was quick to drop the bill. Not the best rep of a brand. While airport patrons maybe migratory, when know where to never spend our money again. read more

Surprisingly, a great meal from an airport restaurant! I ordered fish and chips and requested to sub a crispy fresh side salad with delicious honey mustard dressing for my chips, No problem. Comfortable ambiance & friendly service at the bar. All in all a solid 4 star experience. read more

My friends and I were waiting for our flight that got delayed an hour, we sat down at a table and were going to have a couple drinks until Jake acted out in an unprofessional manor and felt that it was necessary to embarrass us and shout out in front of the entire restaurant that we can't sit there. We were going to leave elsewhere until another waitress suggested that we order drinks from the side of the bar and sit out of the restaurant. We also received an apology from another waitress on Jake's part. We appreciate it everyone else's service but didn't appreciate the way that Jake treated us. Ps. Diana was amazing and gave us great service after this incident. We were very happy with her service. read more

It was very tasty with a lots of veggies, black beans, sweet potato, and some jalapeño. And I love the mango salsa they put on. I got a salad as a side and it was very generous amount.
