I got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious! It had Goodwoods own bbq sauce on it, which complimented the brisket beautifully. For the side I got the potato salad and dang it was loaded with hard boiled eggs, and very delicious! My server was friendly and very attentive. I got a slice of the Texas sheet cake to go, and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. If I lived local this would be a new spot for me to frequent. If I am ever back in Boise again, I will certainly come back.

OH MY GOSH! THIS PLACE IS JUST AMAZING!! Our 1st time here but meats are just so good, juicy and so soft! Service is also spectacular. We had Kayla M and she was very attentive and always checking on us and our needs! The manager was also great and checked in on us! We love it here and we will definitely be back The place also has great vibe and match the rustic ambiance !

Tri tip salad
Cheri N.

Saturday, early lunch at Goodwood barbecue for the first time. It smelled so good before I walked in with all the smells of barbecue. The ambience is that of a chain restaurant with a warmth to the decor and it appears very clean. I ordered a tri-tip salad with their bbq ranch dressing for the menu price of $15.95. I expected this to be a ginormous salad but sadly it arrived in a large soup bowl. This medium salad was very modest, very demure, and very basic. It had four modest slices of tri-tip atop the salad. A tiny cornbread muffin and butter was on the side. I was starving so I dug in and ate the whole salad. It was very tasty and very satisfying. It was the perfect amount for one person. Very, very expensive to eat out nowadays Goodwood just reminded me of that. Service was very attentive, and our food came out quickly . I'd have to rate the salad just four stars out of five. I wouldn't rate the salad down for the value because this is just the going rate of food and downsizing that most restaurants have to do to stay afloat. I really can't attest to the quality of their barbecue since I only had a salad. I can say, though that the four small pieces of tri-tip on the salad were just OK.

Pulled pork Lunch portion with cucumber salad and fries.

Great food and fast, friendly service. Food was hot and delicious! We had pulled pork that was smoked and really tender. The bbq sauce does have a kick to it. I suggest getting the sauce on the side just incase its too spicy for you.

Brisket burnt end sandwich with fries.

Nice place with plenty of tables. The smell of BBQ hit me as I walked in. They have cocktails and beer on tap. The décor is nice. I ordered the open face burnt end brisket samminch. It was okay, but wasn't very warm. This is a knife and fork meal, since the bread isn't toasted. Not a big serving of meat, but it was adequate. The steak fries were decent but not hot. I thought the squeeze was going to do her own rating so I didn't take a picture of her Cobb salad. Compared to about every other eatery we've been to that has main salads for around $15, this looked like a side salad. Peighton did a fine job as our server. We we had 9 people at the table, so they added a 22% tip on the bill. My problem is, I tipped 22% to the Governor since they figure the tip after taxes. So I actually tipped 23.5% on our meal. I know they all do this, but it should stop. Just an average meal.

Burnt ends brisket with Mike's baked Mac & cheese

Goodwood Barbecue was one of the first restaurants I had in Meridian and it was a great experience! Parking was not an issue as it's situated in a large plaza, but it can get busy during peak hours. The service here is on top of their game. All of the staff were courteous, quick and friendly. We ordered the lunch special combo platter with Smoked Chicken and Pulled Pork as well as the Burnt Ends Brisket with Mike's Baked Mac & Cheese. Our personal favorite was the Burnt Ends Brisket -- so flavorful and tender! We also loved the barbecue sauce itself here. It has a nice citrus undertone that not many barbecue places I've previously had do. Absolutely recommend this place if you're in the area!

There is an upcharge for certain items ($10 extra for Wagyu steak). Susina features a European-inspired, three-course dinner menu that changes weekly and blends local, seasonal and organic ingredients. They also have gluten-free and vegan options. Ambiance: Stepping into the intimate, candle-lit dining room at Susina feels like entering a romantic European bistro. The restaurant is in a converted house in the Bench neighborhood and is decorated with charming vintage art. Adding to the vintage charm, each course is served on mismatched vintage dishes. For our first course, we ordered the Beets and Ricotta Salad and the Fettucine Saisiccia. The Beet Salad was a generous portion of red and golden beets with citrus, hazelnuts, mint and ricotta. The fettucine and sausage are both handmade in house and are both delicate and delicious. I ordered the Wagyu Flat Iron steak with au poivre sauce, mashed potatoes and winter vegetables. Each part of my entrée was executed perfectly. The Snake River Farms Wagyu was exactly medium rare and was tender and flavorful. The Joël Robuchon style mashed potatoes were smooth as velvet, light and buttery. My partner ordered the Cassoulet with braised duck leg, house-made bacon lardons, house sausage, Mayocoba beans, celery root and herb oil. The Wagyu was definitely the stand out of the evening. While I prefer duck confit in a cassoulet, to the braised duck preparation that they offered, it was still very good. Finally, we chose the brûléed cheesecake with strawberry sauce for dessert. The caramelized sugar crust on the cheesecake was beyond heavenly. Pro-Tip: Reservations are recommended. Susina's chef, Alex Cardoza, was just nominated as a semifinalist for best chef Mountain Division by James Beard Award for 2026 and they are very popular. We added our names to the waitlist and were able to get an early 5:15 pm spot that way

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.

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.

We haven't been in here for a meal, usually just a beer and a crowler if we find something we like…read more Nicely decorated with beer signs and 7 TVs for the sports enthusiast. There is also a music box, dart game and pool table. Plenty of tables to enjoy your food or a brewski. I was looking for a nice red or amber for a beer tasting tonight, but they only had a red rye and the Amber Jack. Unfortunately, they didn't have tops for the Crowler cans and a full growler would have been too much beer and expense. Onto the food. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Flatbread. The main squeeze ordered the Greek Italian salad with balsamic dressing. The salad was very good and large, all the ingredients were fresh. The flatbread was good, not as spicy as I thought it may be, but I should have asked for pepper flakes. Plenty of toppings on it, the taste was good. The serving tray was cool to the touch. I wish more places would find a way to heat the serving dishes/trays. The food loses it's heat real fast with cold dishes. It was a good lunch, we'll be back to try a wrap and some wings and also pick up a crowler.

It actually breaks my heart that I even need to make this post…read more I've been a regular at Dusty Rose Reserve for quite some time, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I came in as I normally do and was immediately subjected to crude and inappropriate comments from a patron who was making repeated remarks about my appearance. He called me a "four eyes" and a "fucking ginger" because I wear glasses and have red hair. I initially brushed it off and went to sit back down because I wasn't there looking for a confrontation. Later, I went back to the bar simply to ask for some salt for my food. The same man looked at me and said, "They're out of salt, just like you're out of shorts." That comment was heard by multiple regulars and new patrons, and I want to give credit where it's due: several people immediately stood up for me and made it very clear that his behavior was unacceptable. I genuinely appreciated the people who spoke up. Then we found out this wasn't just some random patron. Apparently, this man was the newly hired manager. The bartender working that night was on only his THIRD DAY. When he attempted to address the situation and remove the manager, the manager threatened him by saying, "Remember who writes your schedule. Are you sure you want to do this?" Think about that for a second. A brand-new employee was being threatened with his job by the manager because he tried to stand up for a customer who was being sexually inappropriate and verbally harassed. The owner also threatened to ban us from the establishment for calling out HIS BARTENDER'S behavior. At that point, my friend contacted the owner because we have a longstanding relationship with the owners. Unfortunately, that conversation did not go well. The owner became angry and hung up on my friend. I then called myself because I wanted to speak with Rosie directly, hoping that another woman might better understand why I was upset and uncomfortable with what had happened. Instead, I was told that the manager had already been fired and that it was "not fair" that my friend had supposedly called to yell at his wife. For the record, my friend is one of the most genuinely kind and non-confrontational people I know. He was frustrated, yes, but he is not someone who goes around screaming at people. I repeatedly asked to speak with Rosie directly and was refused. Eventually, I ended the call with, "Thank you for firing the guy, but no thanks on this yelling," and hung up. I'm glad the manager was ultimately fired. However, the fact that it took customers standing up for me, a brand-new bartender putting his job on the line, and multiple phone calls before anything was done is extremely concerning. I've spent a lot of time at Dusty Rose Reserve and have supported this establishment as a regular. I genuinely hope the owners take this situation seriously... not just because of what happened to me, but because of how a newly hired employee was treated when he attempted to do the right thing. No woman should have to walk into a bar and be subjected to comments about her body or clothing, and no employee should be threatened with their schedule for trying to protect a customer. I appreciate the patrons who stood up for me, and I sincerely hope the bartender who was put in that position knows that he did the right thing.

I moved to right down State St from the Local, so my parents and I have been here twice now…read more The first time was amazing food, but the service wasn't great, super rude and impatient. The reason we went back the second time was because we remembered how good the food was and how nearby it was too. The second time the food was still really good, but the service was HORRENDOUS. Brittney was such a ***** to me and my parents, my mom especially. My mom was complimenting her and something about the food, and she straight up just walked away in the middle of my mom still talking. And no it wasn't busy. It was towards the end of the night, there was maybe 2-3 other customers there. She acted like we were bothering her the whole time. Then once she'd leave us would just stand up at the bar flirting with the other guy working there and just ignore anyone else. Then on top of all of that, my dad tells me she added $10 onto her tip! FRAUD!!! I've attached photos as evidence. My dad still tipped her even though she was so rude and disrespectful. But apparently that wasn't enough for her and added $10 onto the total. I cannot believe that. And my dad tells me it was difficult to get his $10 back after calling and talking to the manager. He didn't get the name of the manager but he said that they were just making excuses and saying oh but she's our best server. Obviously not! Saying things like oh she must've just been really busy. Again, we were there when it was dead and about to close soon, no it was not busy. It's almost as if this business does this type of thing often because there was no alarm from the manager, then finally after much deliberation decided to send back the $10. Absolutely ridiculous. No : "I'm so sorry here's a free meal on us", or atleast a "here's a coupon or gift card for next time you come in", nothing. This is the type of thing that gets people closed down. We should report to the BBB. This is insane. And to not be offered anything to make it right is what really gets me. Like do they not want us to ever come back??? Not to mention tell everyone we know, etc. Yikes! And this is what we get for wanting to support local businesses instead of going to the big chains. What a bummer.
