    Always room for some apple crisp!

    Dang - forgot to take a photo of the 1/2 rack of ribs again. Fantastic and went well with the green beans and coleslaw. Attentive service.

    1 One Meat BBQ Platter - brisket, cajun fries, garlic mashes potatoes
    Denielle B.

    I think for the price that you're paying, the quality and quantity are not worth it. I had the one meat bbq platter, and chose brisket for the meat, and cajun fries and garlic mashed potatoes for the side. The brisket was extremely salty, and I had to drown in it their sweet bbq sauce to make it palatable. The platter also only came with three pieces, which I guess is typical with other bbq places too, but the size is a bit smaller in comparison to others. The cajun fries were good and was the right portion for me, but it sucks that they add a $2 charge for adding cajun seasoning to regular fries. Garlic mashed potatoes were okay, but it was a small portion. So for just my order, it was $21.99. My husband got the two-meat platter: brisket and pulled pork with bacon mac and cheese and potato salad as his sides. While the brisket was extremely salty, the pulled pork was bland. Mac and cheese was okay, but he did like the potato salad, again, the sides were smaller in portion. Obviously his was more expensive than my order. We had R&R bbq delivered, and their bbq quality was much better and more worth it for the price. I don't mind paying good money for good food, but Big Daddy's just missed the mark for us. Unfortunately, we won't be coming here again.

    So food was great but we wish the food temperature would've been warmer. Some dishes were brought out and the food/meat felt cold. Other than that everything was great. Service was great. Food was tasty. We will definitely be coming back.

    New lunch price. I had beef brisket sandwich. Very good. The lunch price is just right!

    Ordered food from here for delivery. I live just down the road, but was feeling lazy today. Ordered the Carolina, which is supposed to be a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, didn't get coleslaw. Also for my side ordered the bacon Mac and cheese, didn't get bacon. Food was not very flavorful and for how short the travel was, it was warm at best. Maybe it's better when you go in person? But when you order online definitely preheat your oven to refresh it

With its varied menu and delicious happy hour selection this place could be a favorite for a wide variety of the local population. Classy, welcoming with engaging staff. While the selections of taps are diverse and smart for diners, it is the kitchen that is the real star here. We tried the Happy Hour fare (3-5 pm). See the pics for details. We also tried the Kobe sliders, but they fell short of the Chicken Sliders with their tender, juicy cuts of breast. The lineup of drinks are on full display at the bar and with scannable menus. This is a solid place for bringing friends or family for a gathering - yes, like the name suggests "Common". If anyone in your group cannot find a drink and meal to their liking, then you need to replace that person from your social circle or family. 2 hour free parking directly behind the building makes this location much better than the downtown businesses in the liberal ghetto of Boise where they will soon tax the air you breathe. Here, the pricing will not require you to take out a second mortgage as the Boise elites would have you do for eating in their downtown. It is no surprise that more quality dining places are opening in cities like Eagle, Caldwell, Nampa and Meridian where Idahoans can enjoy life.

And he knows exactly what hazy to get my husband and cider for me. They have a good amount of seating and when it gets a little busier they open up their event room for extra space. When it's nice out they also have outside seating. There is plenty of parking on the premise, even when it's been busy we've had no problem finding parking. They don't serve food, but you can order from uncle bobs in the same complex, pick it up and bring it over. They used to have a food truck that would park in the back but I haven't seen one in quite some time.

His statement to me was, "you're on thin ice". I was like dang what did I do? He said to me, "you hit your vape and left trash at the end of the bar, I have a picture if you want to see it". I can admit to hitting my vape in there, but I did not see anything that said, "NO vaping" and I've hit my vape in there before. The first time that he told me, I never did it again, so it's not like I continued to defy him at all! A different friend and I had came maybe two weeks earlier and ordered pizza from Uncle Bob's and ate it while we played trivia. The gentleman that I was with said he would throw away the trash when we finished and I did not even take notice to where he put it or what he did with it. If the owner would have just mentioned it to me (instead of discussing his discretions with other patrons after I left), I would've apologized (which I did) and made sure that it didn't happen again. There are too many other options with friendlier staff in the area to ever step foot in this establishment again!!! There is a way to speak to people and not be a dick!

I always judge a bar by how they make the traditional drinks like Old Fashioned, mojitos, and Long Island ice tea to name a few. It was bad. Not sure how they got it bad. Too much bitters? Cheap alcohol? I don't know. The "highlight" of my night was an interaction with the bartender lady. After all the eating, my friends and I stuck around outside to chat.

Old State Saloon has been added to the stay-away-from list as of a week ago.

We finished our walk and made our way to the restaurant. This will be our 6th year having lunch here. Trying to keep our traditions alive. As a courtesy, we called the day before to let management know that they will be expecting a party of 20. This joint charges 30 bucks per person for reservations as a deposit. 30 bucks?!? It's quite humorous really, 30 dollar deposit is more than a majority of their meals they charge. The manager on duty last year told us to call to let them know for a heads up but not necessarily make a reservation. And of course that manager doesn't work there anymore. The manager I spoke with was a complete joke. "Saturday is our busiest day". We'll, if it's your busiest day than why aren't you properly staffed? "We can't just serve you in 2 seconds". Never have I asked to be served in 2 seconds. What kind of management team do you have running this joint? Clearly unprofessional clowns. We showed up at opening. Clearly I wasn't taken seriously since the hostess had no clue about our large party coming. No tables were set up. "You should have came at 11:30". I didn't know that we had to accommodate to the manager and his timing. He set up our tables and didn't even bother with us the whole time we were there. Food was good. I had the salmon. I had asked for my salmon to be overly cooked. With my new kidney, I can't have anything like fish and beef rare. My fish was not cooked the way I asked and had to be sent back. I expressed to the server if needed out more than well done. So honestly, I don't think the cook took my request seriously. Last year eating at the restaurant was a crap show. This year is a bigger crap show. So many better restaurants in town that don't have this ridiculous reservation fee and yet this joint does. Management here is on the same tier as a trash can. Honestly, after this last visit, we might consider going to another joint to start a new tradition. My family and our money is worth more than the disrespect management gave us.
