My friend wanted to try Korean corndogs at Burnin Mouth so that's what we did today! We were instantly greeted as soon as we walked in! The Asian gentlemen that was working the counter was so nice! He helped us through the menu since it was our first time there. He took our orders and was fun and kind! My friend and I basically ordered the same thing. We snagged a hot dog corndog with potatoes and a cheese stick in it's original form. These babies came out hot!! They were fried to a perfect golden brown. I started off with the potatoe crusted dog! I dipped that baby in ketchup and mustard, it was so good! I did order some hot cheese thinking it was hot cheese but it's actually hot in spice. It was still good and had a good amount of heat to it. I took a bite of the cheese dog and it had the best cheese pull! I didn't eat much of it cause the potatoe corndog was huge! Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. The gentleman did give us a couple extra sauces to try. He gave us a couple honey packets so i look forward to eating the rest of my cheese dog with the honey. The venue was big and bright! I noticed they have one of those big garage doors. I can imagine it being a fun spot to hit up during spring and early summer. I have nothing to say but good things about this place! Staff was nice. Food was good. Venue was clean! I look first to going back and trying the hot cheetos corndog! read more

Burnin' Mouth is an amazing addition to the food scene in Meridian! It's located in the Village, so you can stop by here for a quick bite in between your shopping. If you've never had Korean corn dogs before or have been craving one, this is the place to go! Obvious PSA: Korean corn dogs are different from American corn dogs since it's made of bread dough + panko instead of cornmeal. We ordered their chicken sandwich combo and a half mozzarella/half sausage Korean corn dog. I was super stoked to see that this place had actual affordable Korean corn dogs! I've been to the two other places that sell Korean corn dogs at $10+ here and I was not impressed (my creds are that I've frequented a lot of Korean restaurants and also been to Korea). The worker who took my order was a nice Korean man who even realized it was our first time visiting, so he gave us recommendations on what to order. We waited about 10 minutes for the order and we devoured it in less than that time! Definitely will be back and highly recommend it if you're in the area! read more

Loved every bit of my experience very here. The girl working the front was super nice as was the cook who showed me my basket of food. Everything was cleaned well so we felt comfortable. The reason I stopped by? No places around have delivered the heat I'm looking for. So seeing a restaurant named "Burnin Mouth" had me hopeful. The nice girl up front recommend the chicken strips so I order one insane, one ugly, and one good from their spice chart. The insane was amazing! I loved it! I finally got the kick I love! The breading is delicious and their sauces were great as well. I only wish they were located in a drive through area instead of the village where traffic is too much to justify stopping off and picking up food from here, so I could come more often! I can't wait to come back! read more

It's one of the better places for delicious Nashville hot chicken and, as of recently, Korean corn dogs. I'm sure it ain't cheap leasing from the Village which is why I won't hit them harder on their sky-high prices. I also don't really care as I'm happy to throw my money food good food. If you're on a budget, this is your warning. On a recent visit I indulged in the Coo Coo Sando (brioche bun, coleslaw, pickles, crispy onion, ranch, comeback sauce, fries) with level 4 (ugly) heat and I loved every bite! It's packed full of flavor and my chosen level was perfect for me. The chicken is juicy and generously seasoned. The comeback sauce delicious! I highly recommend ordering extra ($0.50 a ramekin) because you'll want it on your sandwich (yes, more) and your fries. The fries are battered and seasoned and they were SO GOOD. I'll be returning soon to try their bowls and corn dogs! read more

With all the chicken places appearing everywhere it's hard to stand out in the crowd. This place seems to do that with its current options. I have eaten here multiple times from the first time it opened, till just yesterday. While it has had its ups and downs with not only quality/quantity of food(chicken size changed for a bit) and service, (staffing seems to be a tough thing with many restaurants these days it seems) I'd say 80% of the time they have nailed it these last few years, hence the four stars. Every time I have been there I have ordered the bang bang sandwich combo and with the $15 price tag on that combo you don't leave much room for error. The chicken was meaty, not too bready and I really enjoy the flavor of their chicken coating. The fries have a nice coating on them too that is tasty. Their sauces are good but no game changers. This time I also ordered a korean fried corn dog half and half with cheese and sausage. Its a standard korean corn dog you'd get from Seattle, or Hawaii. Good breading and a great crunch with a whole host of flavor options like Takis. But with the $5 price, and only a $1 more for other options, it is a little cheaper than the major cities. read more

Corn dogs were amazing. Love the sauce that came with the potato mozzarella corn dog, delicious and compliments each other so well in flavor. Mozzarella pull was fun for my kids while eating the corn dogs. I ordered the pistachio Dubai strawberry chocolate cup but was given the matcha strawberry cup instead. The green did look a little bright to be pistachio but didn't realize until we left and was eating it in the car, that the taste confirm it was matcha not pistachio. Service was excellent besides the switch up on the Dubai strawberry cup. Restaurant was clean and vibe was fun and ease. Employee was friendly and kind. Not a long wait, food made fresh. Good location, Located in the village at Meridian. I say best on the go food. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a corn dog with a fun twist. read more

Food was disgusting. Chicken was tough and under cooked. No good flavor, fries tasted like they've been in the freezer too long and had a freezer burn taste. Definitely not the meal I had hoped for. Save yourself the money and go elsewhere. My wife didn't mind her Korean corndog but a chicken place with terrible tasting and rough tendon tells you all you need to know read more

Burnin’ Mouth - combo #4 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

What a nice spot to hangout at. You've got ramen, fried chicken, and Korean corn dogs! The staff is friendly and helpful. They do their best to make sure you're taken care, some of the best corndogs you can get in town! Cheese pulls are a must, if you love Mozerella. The chicken sandwiches are always a big hit. Juicy and spicy all in one. The ramen bowls you get to make are so satisfying, it reminds me of a 7/11 in Japan. If you are in this area, it's a must go to for an experience of soul food. read more

Burnin’ Mouth - Combo Coo Coo Sando, Korean Corndog Potato and Korean Corndog Hot Cheetos (half meat half cheese). - Chicken Shop Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Well, here it says it's closed at 3, but it is almost 430 and it's open. Sorry no photos. I was hungry. I got the potato corn dog. Half and half. The dipping sauces I got was ketchup, mustard, and their comeback sauce. The comeback sauce was a very interesting flavor, but I wasn't mad at it. The corn dog its self was ok. Super thick. I prefer koko bell over this place for that particular food item. The fries were super crunchy. I rate them top notch. We also got three tendies. The second from the most hot. Called "Ugly". It was a good spicy. You kept feeling it after you ate it. The batter on them had a nice crunch. Definitely recommend. The restaurant itself was pretty clean. Service was great. read more

OKAY. I get the novelty of a place like this. It presents an opportunity to shout at anyone with you to have a conversation. Dining with excruciatingly loud music in a fake industrial motif must be your thing or takeout will provide the refuge to eat without the auditory assault. It presents the opportunity to pay for TWO MEALS and get ONE. That's right the reverse of a twofer. The fries suck. Limp. In this state, what they do to these potatoes should be a crime. A person cannot just order a sandwich, you must get the upsell of a combo. Insulting! Overall, the sandwich which is over 2X the cost of Chick-Fil-A (with fries) is completely not worth it. (NOTE: for those who are math-challenged, 2X is shorthand for two times, twice as much, double or essentially too much to pay), This is a place that caters to shallow people (read:hipster or wannabe hipster) who are using their parents' credit cards or who have more money than brains. The Coo Coo chicken sandwich with "ugly" sauce (their level 3 heat) was spicy enough, but it was clear I could have gone with the next level. Chicken was moist inside and crispy outside. Fast friendly service which is good because the parking situation inside the Village. Going on line, one can see that the meals at Meridian are marked up in price sgnificantly over those franchises in other states. As history proves, "this too shall pass" and likely after the "free" COVID dollars run out. I will wait to see Big Chicken (Shaq's chicken place) when it gets to the Treasure Valley. read more

I walked and and was greeted by a young man and he was helpful as It was nearing closing time and had a pleasant convo as I was trying to decide what I wanted .. I prepped beforehand however being in the restaurant is different and allowed I to read the menu and get a feel of the whole place. I ordered the wings Got the 3 spicy levels except the one that is ghost pepper spicy. The restaurant didn't have many customers except one couple the music was loud yet a great selection of songs were on. I waited for my order and chatted with the General Manager of the restaurant who stopped in on her day off to help close. The young man did something to his knee. The GM greeted me and packed up my order. When looked over the order it appeared the fries wereng included, I called in and let them know and the GM happily said she'd have the kitchen make fries and apologized. While I was waiting relooked and the fries were there and went inside and let them know and the GM said to have the fries. I had soo much fries when got home and ate. The chicken was def burnin and bomb! Best tasting hot chicken compared to Dave's Hot Chicken tried. Can't wait to go back thanks Burnin' Mouth keep up the Customer service read more

Pretty solid chicken sandwich spot. I got the bang bang with garlic soy sauce (non-spicy). The taste didn't quite hit the spot for me. I shoulda gone with a more traditional spicy chicken sandwich. The size and the texture were great. The fries and the accompanying sauce really hit the spot though. Pretty good deal for ten bucks considering sometimes you gotta pay extra for the fries. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items read more

Honestly the best chicken sandwich! Even if you're not a fan of spicy, they have all different spice levels and even none. This place has only been here 3 weeks ago or so, and definitely is here to stay IMO! They were packed when we went with a line out the door. I've been to multiple hot chicken places in Hawaii, Seattle, and LA and these are just as good. You have to try the soy garlic sauce too. So so good. I can definitely see myself coming back here! read more

Burnin’ Mouth - Mild Chicken Sandwich. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

With so many new hot chicken places in the valley, Burnin' Mouth lived up to the hype. I had heard word that it was great but wanted to try it out for myself. The coo coo sandwich itself was incredible. From the first bite I was hooked. The sauce, as well as the crispy onions on top, made this a top 5 chicken sandwich for me. The chicken is cooked fresh and was very juicy while maintains a crispy exterior. There are 5 different levels of heat that you can choose from. I got the good (3rd hottest) and felt it was the perfect amount of spice. All of their menu items have to be bought as a meal which isn't always ideal. The reason I gave 4 stars was because I felt that the quality of their fries was lacking. They were well seasoned but had absolutely no crunch, it was as if they'd barely been cooked. Hearing from friends, it also seems that the quantity of fries that they currently give out has decreased in comparison to past visits. While I am a huge fry person, it isn't enough to keep me away from coming back to burnin mouth, the sandwich was that good. read more

Decent sandwich, fries were seasoned well! Not disappointed, but not my absolute favorite. Will need to come back and try the corndogs!

If you're not coming here immediately, you've made a major mistake. The chicken is expertly cooked, tender in a way that shouldn't be possible. They offer all spice levels and on my second visit I tried a mix of the wing flavors including the soy based which is Korean fried chicken knocked out of the park. The staff is so friendly and the food makes my week better than I can ever ask for. As much as I don't want to wait eventually an hour for chicken when you all find the best place in town, I can't recommend Burnin' Mouth highly enough. read more

Heck yeah Burning Mouth!! My first experience here was on a weekday, closing time & we had just discovered this place, upon entering we were received by a super laid back employee who explained the menu and HEAT levels, etc. He was nice enough to throw extra sauces for free. Food is 10/10, fries are bomb! Shoot, I'll wait out the ride anytime for some bomb fries. But seriously, wait times ain't that bad.. Customer service is 10/10, I've already gone back many times & I keep forgetting to ask for the employee's name who is seriously super nice & helpful every-time we come have lunch here! Such a chill place, music & ambience. read more

This place is so good! But the never comeback dry rub was NO JOKE. The cashier warned me, but I thought it was one of those warnings where the hottest was still mild. Nope. Eat at your own risk. I eat spicy with every single meal and love some of the hottest Indian betters. This sandwich had me shaking!! I earned the savage title finishing it. But it was so dang good. Not into spice? No worries. There's regular options. The chicken was perfect. Crispy yet moist on the inside. Not all dry and flaky. Some of the best chicken sandwich options I ever had. Fries were delicious but could have been warmer and the homemade lemonade options were a nice touch. Usually, with new restaurants you give them some time to find their groove. This one doesn't need it. Will be returning. read more

Coo Coo Sando & Bang Bang Sando pictured. This was mine and my husband's first time trying Nashville style hot chicken sandwiches. We love anything spicy so we tried the Ugly level which was perfect as it had that heat we want without it being torturous. We went on a Friday afternoon so it wasn't packed and the customer service was great. I would say probably the best chicken sandwich in Boise/Meridian! Didn't give a complete 5 star only because I wished they had fountain soda for refills but that's okay because it left room for us to go next door to get some boba :P read more

This is a chicken place yet when we got there 20 mins before closing, the man who I'm guessing was the owner, said all they had to serve was corn. No chicken at a chicken joint. Weird. Then they closed after we walked back out, as others were wanting to walk in. read more

Food looks great, environment looks cool. Unfortunately, I never got to find out. Placed an order for pick up, got an estimate of 30 minutes. Sounds good. When I got there, I was told that there was an error with the receipt and that I will need to wait another 25 minutes. No offer for a discount or a complementary side to a customer whose time you just wasted. I'll be back when somebody learns how to run this business. read more

The place was packed, but that didn't stop the service from being top notch. With friendly staff and quickly prepped food. The ambiance was cozy and lively! I ordered the 3 piece chicken strips with heat level Ugly/Burnin up, as well as the Coo Coo Sando with Good/Comfortably Hot heat level (as I didn't want the heat to overpower the coleslaw). The crunch, flavor, freshness, and heat level of the chicken strips was just perfect. Not to mention the house made dipping sauce was absolutely incredible. Would absolutely buy a bottle if they sold it. The Coo Coo Sando stole the show though. You just can't go wrong with a brioche bun chicken sandwich, with mouth watering coleslaw, and to top it off with their sauce & pickles. I don't think I've ever eaten a sandwich that big, so fast! If I wasn't full I would've ordered a second one on the spot. Best Hot Chicken Sandwich I've ever had; and I've scoffed down quite a few in my days. Also, if you're a french fry connoisseur--you will be more than pleased. The crisp spackle on the outside with a soft fluffy inside, is just heaven for a potato lover like myself. Perfectly seasoned. I also tried the Korean Oreo Corn Dog with half & half, and to my surprise was actually real good. All and all, this place is fabulous, the staff & service is incredible, the place is incredibly clean, and I will be back again soon. read more

The two stars has nothing to do with the quality of food or prices but has everything to do with food handling. The guy ringing us up used a single pair of gloves all while touching the tablet, pushing the door to go in and out of the kitchen, prepping food, pulling his pants pants up, plating food, grabbing dirty/used trays and wiping them down with a dry rag to put new food on, prepped sauce cups, scratching his eye and covering his mouth to cough. Never once did a glove change or did he wash his hands. read more
