Chicken Tenders Basket
Ellie B.

The service was a bit slow. The ambiance was great!!! The food was okay but the milkshakes were delicious!!! Overall 4/5

Oreo Coated Twist (Vanilla-Choco) cone
Marc B.

The Oreo Coated Twist Cone looked and tasted great! I got the small cone and it was still huge (see my night pic). I came expecting to get a Flavor Burst Cone, which are still advertised online. However, they're not on the in-person menu and the counter server said they no longer offer them (stopped a while ago). I was a little disappointed because the Cotton Candy Yelp pics looked unique, but I was still super pleased with what I got. Also, nice staff that took orders and delivered cones. ... And to Nick the Manager, i was at the State St Boise location.

Banana Split
Jamie S.

This location is a Boise classic, been here as long as I can remember! Simple drive thru and walk-up window with a few tables on the patio if you'd like to stay and eat. Classic American diner/fast food and pretty much a combination of soft serve you can imagine- dipped cones,milkshakes, banana split and many MANY toppings to choose from. Service is quick and friendly, ambience is "retro", and a really fun plan to grab some eats and treats!

S'mores shake
Joshua A.

Aiden & Byrne great customer service everything was on point amazing staff and equally the food is so good! Reasonably priced definitely coming back the s'more's shake wow don't believe the haters

Amanda S.

I wouldn't agree that Fanci Freeze whips up the "best" milkshakes in Idaho, but there is no denying that they aren't delicious! For a very reasonable price as well. This so-called small was big enough for both my husband and I to share - plus tax it was only about $4.00! Today we tried a huckleberry milkshake. I wasn't too fond of the huge chunks of frozen huckleberries, but the sips of without were yummy! Super thick and creamy, and reminded me of summers in McCall after going to Ice Cream Alley. I would definitely recommend Fanci Freeze to anyone looking for a wondeful sweet treat!

Swirl chocolate dip
Ali B.

Perfect way to end our trip to Boise! For some reason there are barely any soft serve spots in Phoenix, so I hop on any opportunity I can get to have some soft serve. My husband and I got extra small swirl cones dipped in chocolate. My husband wanted butterscotch but they were out. Was very reasonable price wise too and loved the retro feel. Very nostalgic!

Boston shake
Patricia C.

A good ice cream to grab in a hot Summer although the parking is hard. They do have a drive-thru service. Friendly service. A bit disappointed the blast machine was down when we were there, but that gives us a good reason to come back again.

Advertised hot dog
Pamela R.

Ordered a basic hotdog that supposed to come with ketchup, mustard, and relish on the side. This is what their picture looks like on Door Dash. This is what I got!! Lesson learned! Trust me, when I work another flight here to Boise, I will NEVER order from this place again!!

Wayne W.

Only had a milkshake to go and it seemed like a solid choice. Thick and tasted great. Got a small which seemed plenty filling. I'll defer to other Yelpers to evaluate the food.

Menu
Omar M.

My wife and I went to try this place after seeing it advertised on a local instagram page. Overall it was good and the food was fresh. Service was also great. I got the double cheeseburger with tots which they have labeled as "gems" on their menu. My wife got the bacon cheeseburger with the waffle fries and I should've gotten those instead cause they were good. Their buffalo ranch sauce is good. We also got the extra small cones with Oreos and they were big so I could imagine what the large looks like. Go check this place out when you're in the area.

Dipped cones: peanut butter coating on the left and chocolate on the right.
John S.

I've never ordered regular food here, just ice cream cones. I grew up on Tastee-Freez, which invented soft-serve ice cream and may have dipped them first, too. That's my favorite at Fancy Freez: a twist cone dipped in chocolate. My only gripe is that they're not consistent in how they dip. A properly dipped cone has the ice cream sealed in the chocolate or other coating. That prevents the ice cream from dripping all over you. Sometimes, they get it right here and other times there are gaps which cause a mess as the ice cream melts.

This is one of the nicest In-N-Outs I've ever been to. That might be because it's new. It might be…read morebecause it's in... Idaho (gasp). First, I love that In-N-Out is expanding outside of California. For this location specifically. It's located right next to the Town Square Mall. The parking lot is a little difficult to navigate, BUT the parking lot is INSIDE another parking lot so the drive-thru line doesn't enter from or exit to a busy Street. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. And the food was exactly what you would expect from In-N-Out. It was actually a little bizarre, eating In-N-Out in Idaho. Definitely a must stop if you're in Boise.

After a year and a half or so of hearing Boise locals rave about the In-N-Out by the mall on…read moreMilwaukee, we finally caved and made the pilgrimage -- a bold move for us. We drove in with the kind of sky-high expectations usually reserved for Michelin-starred tasting menus. The car line was a beast, snaking a solid 40 minutes deep, but I'll hand it to the crew: they kept things moving with the kind of cheerful efficiency you'd expect from a well-oiled machine, not a burger joint slammed on a Saturday. Genuine smiles, no attitude, just vibes. Bravo. And then... the food arrived. Cold. Not "fresh off the flat-top" cold, but a sad 9 minute cold. The fries had the tragic, limp texture of soggy cardboard rather than the crispy golden shatter we'd been promised by every Californian we've ever met. I went with the cheeseburger animal style, dreaming of that legendary sauce-drenched glory, while my GF ordered the Number 2 with pickles, hoping for burger nirvana. What we got instead was... fine. Edible. To be fair the food was fresh, well prepared and the taste was mediocrity good. A B-minus burger wearing an A-plus reputation like a costume. Overall: friendly humans, efficient chaos, lukewarm execution. The legend remains intact in theory, but our particular visit felt like meeting a celebrity who forgot to put on pants. The fanbase can't ALL be wrong... right?

You'll probably have to either parallel street park or try a vacant lot across the street that had a sign stating it was ok to park there as of Aug 2026. Order at the register and they give you a buzzer. Go get it from the counter when it goes off. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fast and friendly service. We tried the wyld style burger (favorite), wyld style chicken sandwich, fries, sweet potato waffle fries, and orange crush slushie. Fries come with one sauce each. Everything was great and it was a good quantity to feed our family of four, which includes two adults, 4 yr old and 2 yr old.

My son had the kid's chicken tenders, which was just their crispy chicken cut into strips. The waffle fries were perfect. Just the right amount of crunchy and the taste...so good. The burger was good but I didn't find it amazing. My husband on the other hand devoured his and declared it "good." Coming from out of town, Wyld Child was a great introduction to what Boise offered.
