    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.

    Gary is amazing, he helped me find drinks that I liked and we had a great time. Will be back!read more

    I was at an event in Nampa the other night and ordered food online from Whiskey River because it…read morewas close to the venue. Within seconds, I received a text that my order had been received, but not confirmed, and to watch for a confirmation text. After 30 minutes, I still had not received a confirmation text, so I messaged asking for an approximate time. The reply stated they were "slammed" and that my order would be ready in about 30 minutes. After another 45 minutes, I still had not received any communication from them, so I decided to walk over to check on my order, hoping that it would be ready. The first thing I noticed was that there were not a lot of customers inside. I informed the server behind the bar that I was there to pick up my order, and she went back to check. When she returned, she told me that there were no pickup orders. I showed her the email with my order number and told her that I never received a confirmation from them. She went back into the kitchen, then came back and said they didn't have my order, but could make it while I waited - about 10 minutes. I reluctantly agreed and waited. When I got my order, I asked for a few extra cups of sauce. The server was put off, as if asked to perform an overwhelming task. Needless to say, I left the establishment with a less-than-favorable taste in my mouth. 24 hours later, I received a text from them that my order was confirmed and would be ready to be picked up. I texted back that this was 24 hours late and to cancel the order. The reply was that their texting service was unavailable, and to call for questions. I then replied to the confirmation email, hoping that would get through to them. No such luck. The reply I received said that delivery had failed - that their email box was full. I will say that the food was good, and that the server was mainly friendly. However, the whole online ordering system needs some serious revamping. I hope that Whiskey River will take this review as constructive criticism so that future customers will have an easier, smoother online ordering experience.
