Its been a few years since we have been to this establishment. But my husband and I popped in for an early lunch on a Wed afternoon. The place just opened and we had a lovely patio booth. We had a fantastic meal here! I ordered the flat iron steak salad, and my partner got the Cuz I'm a Cowboy Baby 1/2 # kobe burger. Both the steak and the burger meat were cooked to absolute perfection (a true medium rare). The lettuce and veggies in the salad were incredibly fresh and crisp, and it was tossed in a delicious, Greek-style dressing that complimented the dish perfectly. My husbands burger was topped with a cheesy fried tatertot and his onion rings were perfectly finished; the batter didnt slip off when taking a bite. I think the price was very fair for this filling luch. ​Our server, Sara, was wonderful--attentive, friendly, and great at her job. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not sure what everyone sees in this restaurant. We ordered drinks, and my partners was only about half full compared to mine. Then they didn't have any more of the syrup to make more. We ordered chips and guacamole, but the guacamole looked like there was just random stuff thrown into it, and sadly it was flavorless. The main dishes were okay. I ordered a sandwich and the meat was really full, but again, flavorless. I was so disappointed after really looking forward to a meal here. The wait staff tucked us in a corner and it felt like they forgot about us for the most part. We were asked how things were when we ordered or food was delivered to the table. The next time we saw them was for the bill. Sadly we won't be back. read more

Amazing food!!! Okay service. And great Ambiance. The water even taste so yummy. Music was great.

Came here with a big party of our family and loved the food! We all got burgers and they were amazing. My husband and I got the smash burger (without lettuce and tomato, which is how a smash burger should be!) and it was perfect. Waiter was so nice, but service was a little slow. That's okay, it happens! We will be back for date night without the kids! read more

Ate there last night. Food was tasty. Service was excellent. Ambiance (outside booth) was very pleasant. Will definitely return!! read more

Stoped in for happy hour. Great service in an inviting out door setting. Fish tacos, sliders, and cheese tots all we on target. House wine was fine and the huckleberry special was so tasty I had three. Stop buy and enjoy, we will stop by again on our next visit to the area. read more

We stopped for a bite to eat after a high school football game that we were in town for, and we had really enjoyed the food and the amazing service. The ambience was great, definitely a fun vibe. Highly recommend. And the fact they were open a little bit later was super helpful. read more

Very comfortable gastropub in original downtown Meridian. Large dining area with various types of seating makes this a very accommodating location. 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. read more

We're always happy at 830C! Food is always delicious, service is quick and friendly, they had some great music going and it's a great atmosphere. This round we got the prickly pear marg, the trophy wife (10/10), and the smoky manhattans for drinks. All incredibly tasty, with the trophy wife being a crowd favorite. We got their corn dog bites that were perfectly battered and fried. The cowboy burger, fish and chips, and French dip sandwich. Across the board no complaints! Such tasty food every time. read more

Location was clean and open. Kinda a sports vibe bar with the TVs. We got the steak fingers, which were okay. The pan seared salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus was good after a little salt and pepper. Service was great. No issues here at all. Can't really comment on price since it was a business dinner that management covered. Overall it was just okay. Just the food was a bit lacking read more

The location is in a very nice looking building and the decor is comfortable with a little hint of rustic. Our waiter was very attentive and nice. He recommended the Absolutely Delicious for the drink and it was just that. It's like a raspberry martini but better. It was very dangerous. My husband and I got the Brilliant French Dip. We did ours without horseradish sauce and added swiss cheese and he did fries while I did the onion rings. Everything was well made and very tasty. The only downside was the price but, honestly, everywhere is expensive now a days. Recommend and would like to check out their happy hour. read more

Service and ambience great. Perhaps shame on me for ordering a steak at more of a burger type establishment. Very tough and poorly cooked, guessing no where near room temp at time of searing. Mashed potatoes good but not worth $70 after tax & tip. No comment from server when plate was mostly untouched and to-go box denied. read more

Visited lat in the evening on Sat, Aug 29th, 2026. Never fails. Quick seating, excellent wait staff, wonderful cocktails and THE BEST FOOD IN THE TREASURE VALLEY. And...wonderful clientele. Great ambience. Fun place to meet friends or visit alone because without fail you'll make friends. It's that kind of place. Did I mention the food? Also, parking for free nearby on the street (on Pine south of Meridian) is plenteous. read more

Best meal in Boise in a long time--we loved our dishes. Great service as well. If the music wasn't so loud at lunch time this would have been a five star review. I had the salmon with sundried tomato sauce and a salad. The beet salad was also a favorite. Highly recommend! read more

The staff was so nice and friendly, and all our food was incredible. The burrata appetizer was probably our favorite of all the food, but everything was very tasty and generous portions! We sat outside on the patio and it was nice and cool! A perfect spot to get great service, good food, and all at a very reasonable price. read more

This had to be one of my most disappointing visits. We were 5 minutes early to our reservation, but seated immediately. We waited at our table for 18 minutes, watching several other tables be seated with immediate service, before our server appeared...but that was only after I stopped another server and asked if anyone was available. We ordered everything at this time since we had more than enough time to review the menu. We ordered the finger steaks to open. I ordered the Tres Amigo Tacos, hubby ordered the Flat Iron Steak, daughter had the Chicken Fried Chicken and my friend visiting Idaho for the first time (and I had spent so much time raving about 830 Common to her) ordered the Flat Iron Steak Salad. Finger steaks were quite good as they were tender and lightly breaded. The cocktail sauce was great to me, but everyone at the table was not a fan. Dinner took longer than usual to come out, but we assumed it was due to pacing since we ordered an appetizer. Food arrived and looked amazing. My hubby loved his medium flat iron steak, fingerling potatoes as everything was tender and juicy. Daughter raved about the chicken fried chicken, which I tried, and it was perfectly cooked with crispy batter and fork-tender fried chicken. My friend thought her steak was deliciously cooked to order, but the salad roasted garlic dressing was not her favorite. Also the "salad" was more a steak plate with a side of lettuce. Luckily the server switched out to blue cheese dressing and she was happy. The biggest and most outrageous disappointment was my dinner - I ordered one of each taco, the fish, carnitas and chicken verde. The fish taco was a shining star; crispy and flaky with a lovely cream sauce and fresh vegetables. However, the carnitas adobo taco was so dry, even after adding lime and even borrowing my friend's uneaten garlic dressing, that I could barely swallow the food. I was trying to take smaller bites so I wouldn't have to chew so long before swallowing, but the flavor and dryness just was too much so I gave up. I started with the chicken verde next, taking a bite with eager anticipation, only to be met with a flavorless bite of chicken sawdust. I literally had to chew a solid 5 minutes before I could swallow. I tried again, dousing the taco with lime and more dressing, took a smaller bite and it was horrible. I couldn't make it even 1/2 way through. It was my birthday dinner and I was so disappointed. I was genuinely concerned for other patrons, as I figured the carnitas and chicken were not prepared to order, so anyone else would have the same experience. I walked over to the host station and politely asked if I could talk to a manager to let them know. I was met with rolling eyes and asked, "Why? What's up?". No professionalism, concern or care. I politely explained that I had some concerns about my meal and would appreciate the opportunity to talk to the manager. The host went to my server and let them know I needed to talk to someone and my server uncomfortably came over. I asked for a manager and was told no manager was on duty and only a shift lead was available (concerning). I went on to explain that I could not finish my meal as both the carnitas and chicken tacos were inedible. My server was very understanding and explained that several customers had the same experience, then offered to remove the meal from my bill. I don't believe in this practice as the meal was prepared and I ate 1/3rd of it...not to mention, that was not the reason for the complaint. I am hesitant to return as a place that used to be great, should also be consistent. It was disappointing to be so excited to only have 1/2 of our party satisfied 100% with their meals. Not to mention, the host's flippant demeanor was unjustified. I would have given one star based on my meal alone, but my daughter and hubby genuinely loved their meals. It was also pretty distracting to see heavy clumps of dust spread across the top of the back booth seats, which stretched from end to end...made me question the cleanliness. They really need to bring back their fried Mac and cheese balls! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot. The tots are incredible, best thing on the menu. My friends also liked the fried pickles, they are large slices instead of little disks and are crunchy. The ETC sauce is great, the chicken sandwich is average. I couldn't believe how good to kale Caesar was, the chicken a great add. Skip the Brussel sprouts, they have a ton of balsamic vinegar it is overwhelming. read more

Atmosphere here is very nice. The server was very attentive and helpful, as well. I ordered the meatloaf, and was craving it, but when it arrived, it was smothered in a pasty gravy that really detracted from the meal. I scraped it off and used ketchup instead, and the meal was much better. I wish gravy was an option, served on the side, instead of completely covering the meatloaf. My colleague also complained about the gravy. read more

We were traveling back to Washington State and needed to find a place that might be able to accommodate my liquid diet restrictions due to upcoming surgery. And they did! They were freaking awesome and strained their fabulous tomato soup for me! It was so yummy and a had a pleasant kick too! Great atmosphere and staff! I even got some to go!! Would highly recommend. Oh and my husband's K ribs were delicious as well. read more

Eight Thirty Common - Tomato soup - Gastropubs Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Food was meh....we ordered appetizers as we like to share and wanted to eat a bit healthier. We ordered the Brussel sprouts which were cooked to death and over seasoned. The rib appetizer was also cooked to dry bones. The steak fritters were battered and deep fried? Why in the world would you do that to a perfectly good piece of meat? My guess is because it wasn't a good piece of meat. That also was overcooked and just weird. Definitely overpriced as the food was not good. Maybe they have something they are known for and we missed something? Either way, too many options out there to ever try again. It was a miss for us. The set up and ambiance was nice and they were very busy so people must like it. We sat at the bar and service was fine. read more

Great space and vibe for a rainy, Sunday morning. Waitress was very nice and eclectic, in a good way. Chose a traditional morning cocktail (screwdriver) instead of the ever so popular and visually appealing bloody mary's. Of the three types of toast, the pesto strawberry was the tastiest. The eggs benedict was awesome. Served on a split muffin with maple bacon and a delicious sauce. The potatoes were killer. First boiled and then fried so the inside was soft but the outside crispy. Get in my belly! read more
