    Big Mic's downtown Kuna, ID
    Becky S.

    Step aside Goodwood BBQ, step aside. We have been coming to Big Mic's for a few years & the food & service never disappoints. This is a restaurant with a bar that is in downtown Kuna. The music is loud & therefore people try & talk over the music. I don't mind the noise, but if you want a quiet dining establishment this isn't it. Now for the food. I absolutely love their ribs!!! The meat literally falls off the bones & the rub they use is so delicious. You also get a sauce caddy (ranch, fry sauce, 2 bbq, ketchup) for your table for all your saucy needs. We tried the jalapeño poppers & they were really good. They offer a nice selection of sides for your meals to choose from. My husband & I had three drinks, an appetizer & shared the ribs platter. A lot of food to share & our bill was only $52.

    Absolutely loved this hidden gem in the heart of Kuna. We came in for an early lunch and welcomed immediately. I started with a smoked old fashioned, which I highly recommend. The bartender was kind enough to show me his process which is quite impressive! I went with the server recommendation of a meltdown sandwich, really incredible flavors and plenty of food for a hungry single or to split. The taters weren't the best but it didn't distract from everything else being top notch. Great service, excellent food, fun ambiance. I really enjoyed it and will be back, it's worth the drive from Meridian. Here's to continued success! Hope this place knocks it out of the park in 2022!

    Ok so I am sure I will get some hate mail for this but I was thoroughly unimpressed with the BBQ quality from Big Mics. The only reason for the extra star was the super friendly service we had yesterday. But I also did love the remodeled inside of this old historic building in downtown Kuna. They have a great layout and an awesome place to watch any sporting event which I might just come back for the drinks and TV's everywhere. The food however was a huge miss and disappointment for me...my wife loved her burger on a bagel and had great flavors. The BBQ however fell really flat. Now I have earned the right to be a BBQ snob and have been mastering the art for years. I ordered the brisket and rib combo for $26 and the amount of meat was maybe $10 worth of food. What threw me off was the meat came wrapped in tim foil and tater steamed...while it did have some smoke flavor it was a poor representation of BBQ. The ribs were so overdone and the brisket was very fatty. Either way the high point was the onion rings and even the coleslaw as pretty flavorless. I do like and want to love this place based on how close it is to our house and the fact there is not great options around here. I will for sure give this another try and hope for meat that is fresh off the pit and not heated up.

    Big Mic's First review in two weeks! And the first place I've dined out since being off the grid for 3 weeks! After living off freeze dried meals all I really wanted was some good old fashioned BBQ. I had heard about Big Mic's a couple times from friends in Kuna, all great! My husband and I started our night with PBR ($2.00) and a Budlight ($2.50). The drinks came out quick which was probably good because our food took FOREVER to be done. We waited about 30 minutes after ordered. I admit, it was a rather busy evening and nearly all tables were full. I'm sure they're understaffed like everywhere else. If our bartender/waitress didn't make sure we always had a drink i probably would have been a much less happier camper. For food we ordered the Brisket Platter ($15.50 comes with two sides and a roll) with home fries and coleslaw. It was fantastic! The brisket was super tender and nearly melted in my melt, with the perfect amount of smokiness. Honestly, we didn't even hardly use the BBQ dipping sauce that it came with. It really was amazing all by itself. The fries were awesome, especially paired with the homemade fry sauce. The coleslaw was super tasty. It wasn't overly sweetened or drenched. 10/10 would order again. The biggest downfall was my own fault because I suggested we share a plate and to be honest I could have inhaled my own no problem. And I didn't want to wait another 40 minutes for another plate so moral of the story don't be stingy and just get your own meal.

    that mac and cheese was BOMB

    I really enjoyed this place a lot. kuna is kind of out of the way for us as we live in west boise but we were over there for the pumpkin patch and saw the yelp photos of this restaurant and WOW! had to stop in! rob was our server and I think he's the manager and he was super friendly and accommodating the entire time we were there. it's a cute place with lots of space. a full bar, apparently a big patio (I didn't see it), and there's even a fire place in the back. the building is really old and they converted it and updated it. I was told there is live music there all the time and they have all kinds of different acts to check out. I want to come back for that! my negative on the actual place is the tables. every table they have is high top. not only did we have to stack high chairs for my toddler to have a place to sit, but those type of chairs are very hard on people with bad joints. my dad really can't sit at those kind of tables but we were forced to make due or leave. I wasn't a fan of that. on to the important stuff- the food! everything came out piping hot and fresh. the menu is so good- if you like BBQ this is the place. they have smoked meats, mac and cheese, burgers, appetizers....it all had me drooling. I ended up getting the pulled pork sandwich which comes on a bagel (what??) yeah it's random. it was good but I don't really know why they do all their stuff on bagels. my mom got the mac and cheese with pulled pork and crispy onions- OMG! it was soooo good. drool worthy. I wanted to eat all of it! my son got the smoked hot dog and he loved it. they don't have regular fries there, only these like potato slices that they smoke. they were ok. I prefer regular fries. so does my son. dad got the smoked brisket sliders. I didn't get to try them but they came on regular buns (not bagels) and they looked good. overall I thought the food was delicious and the place itself was really cool. they have a full bar and I bet it gets wild in there late at night. I can't wait to bring my husband here I know he will absolutely love it.

    Wing Wednesday! The place to be. Their sauce is so flavorful you will crave it. Cole slaw is good with right amount of tang.

    Not a fan. The service was weird, the atmosphere was uncomfortable and I didn't like sitting by outdoor trash bins.

    We've been here dozens of times, always good, but not last night…read more I ordered the Carnitas with Mole, I've had the regular carnitas many times so I figured adding mole would just make them better. What I got was a lump of overcooked, dry, unsliced, unseasoned pork roast with the mole poured over at the table. I spent the first five minutes just trying ti cut and tear the pork baseball apart and stirring it in the mole. I kept picturing Chef Ramsey taking a bite, spitting it back on the plate and flagging down the waiter,. "This is disgusting!" You know meat is dry when you must drink something because it keeps getting stuck on the way down! What I should have received was seasoned carnitas that spent at least some time with the sauce in the pan. I had to stop it was so bad! If it hadn't bern Valentines Day weekend, and if we hadn't already waited an hour to eat because it was busy, I'd have asked the waiter for something else. When the waiter came to check and asked, I was honest, he apologized and offered to have them prepare something else, but by this point I was just ready to leave. The Manager came, apologized and took my dinner off the bill, the right thing to do. We used to live in Kuna, but now it's at least an hour drive round trip, so I doubt we'll be back. Maybe if we are meeting friends/family in Kuna, but just us, I don't think so. Time to find good Mexican closer to downtown Boise!

    Jak's Place is a little hidden gem here in Nampa! What went right at our gathering yesterday? Let…read moreme tell you!! Customer service was beyond over the top! I was trying to put an event together for our Red Hat group for the month of March. Since the date for the event fell on St. Patty' Day, of course we would go somewhere that served corned beef and cabbage! I had heard that Jak's served a mean corned beef, so I stopped in to inquire about hosting our group of 12 for lunch at 11:30; they were happy to put us on their calendar. I received an email confirmation which included their lunch menu. I was a bit concerned as there was no mention of the corned beef on the menu, so when I called to confirm I was assured that they would indeed have it for lunch that day . During the course of our luncheon I was told by the manager, Liz, that Jak's was originally offering the corned beef only as a dinner option, but since our group had specifically requested it for lunch, they added it to their menu, just for us!! How over the top is THAT?? When we arrived the atmosphere was inviting, the restaurant was decked out with lots of St. Patty's Day greenery, and there was Irish music playing on the sound system. Our table was set up and prepared for our group; our friendly and efficient waitress was ready and waiting for our shenanigans! The portion of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots was generous; I ended up taking quite a bit home for the hubby, which he was more than happy to finish off for his lunch! The meat was well seasoned and pretty tender, which can be tricky as sometimes the cut of the meat can make it a bit tough. There was a nice selection of various specialty adult beverages to round out the offerings, but as I personally don't imbibe I cannot give a review for those. By the time we were ready to leave, the place was pretty well packed..it was a fun and lively place to be to celebrate the day! Well done, Jak's Place...a good time was had by all!
