If you're used to having a raising canes chicken around, this is their replacement here! Chicken is almost exactly the same except seasoned better. Mine was fresh and juicy, a nice light crisp breading, and the sauce is almost exactly the same as canes. Their garlic bread that comes with the meal was also awesome. Super buttery, super garlicky, great side to the chicken and fries with the sauce. Service was fast and friendly as well. Will be coming back when I've got that craving for chicken tenders. read more

Food was okay but nothing special. Service was painfully slow since there was only one customer ahead of us. I probably wouldn't go back.

Been here a couple times and the service has always been stellar. When you walk in, the decour is like any other fast food establishment but its always been clean. The location is an odd spot from a main road. I ordered the "original" box which was 5 chicken strips, cole slaw, fries, toast and 1 sauce for $12.09 before tax. They make some good chicken strips. Breaded nicely and meaty but a bit on the smaller side. They also don't do anything unique to them and I think are trying to ride on their sauces to give it the extra diversity. But their sauces are ok, I have tried them all. The guthries sauce is a play off of our utah/idaho version of a fry sauce or a poor Raising Canes. Their sweet and sour sauce though always saved the day and continues to be a great compliment to the chicken. You get a whole heaping of fries and buttery toast. I was not a fan of the slaw this time or last. I will say with so many options like this in town, this place needs to do something special or I doubt they will stick around. If your lookin for a chicken strip a bit above your typical deli chicken strip, this is the spot. read more

Guthries - Guthrie's "Original" Box order. - Fast Food Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

GROSS what a waist of $40!! asked a friend what they thought of Guthries before our first visit and they said if you like salt go for it! We went and ordered anyway the 4 piece finger meal and neither one of us could finish a single bite after biting into a mouth full off sodium!! Both meals ended up in the garbage can.. Why do they feel they have to overload their meals with SO much sodium?? The fries we're terrible and the only thing we half finished was the toast. I went on their website for nutrition information and I was corrcect. This is the internet information: Guthrie's Chicken is high in sodium, with a typical 3-finger snack box containing approximately 2,640mg to 3,550mg of sodium. This significantly exceeds the recommended daily intake of 2,300mg. A full "box" meal, which includes fries, slaw, and toast, can result in over 100% of your daily sodium value in a single read more

This was the snack size box and it was perfect. The chicken was so juicy and very good quality! I lived the sauce too! You have to try it!! Fries were nice and big and crispy! Very good! The service was great as well, the staff gave recommendations and was so helpful! The lobby was clean and fun and great ambiance! Super fun! read more

Guthries - Fast Food Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Walked in at 4:45 and the place was a ghost town. Said hello to the person running drive-thru only to be ignored. Waited for a few minutes to order...appeared that the cook was the one that took our order and made our food. I'm only assuming since he said "your food will be out after I'm done cooking it" when he walked away. 20 minutes later our food arrives with apologies for the long wait. Unfortunately, the fries were lukewarm (if not less), barely cooked and soggy. Chicken was overcooked and over breaded. Just 3 dry shards of meat. If you can call it that...I had more breading than meat. The coleslaw looked like it was previously frozen or had been sitting for a while as a chalky film was on top when I opened my serving. Husband had the 4-piece meal and had better results with his chicken, though fries were the same and toast was to the point of being burnt. The only reason that I'm giving two stars instead of one is because there was one friendly, polite server that refilled my drink which made me happy. Most of the time I just wanted to leave and have no intentions of making another visit. I think I ate at a different place than most yelp reviewers or something. read more

Guthries - 3-piece meal with fries, sauce and a purchased side of slaw - Fast Food Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Ahhhh man. Had higher hopes this would be different than the other chicken spots. It wasn't. The fries were a big soggy (not as crunchy as expected). The chicken- just regular battered chicken. Nothing out of this world (or different than other spots around here). The coleslaw wasn't crunchy and it tasted bland. The service though- 10/10. Outstanding. The dining space is ample, clean and spacious. read more

The service was outstanding! The young lady who helped us with our order was professional, kind and helpful. She made our experience there comfortable. The food is good. Not greasy. The sauce is tasty! You could dip your fries in it too. We got cold slaw also. It was very fresh, crunchy. It's a very clean and welcome establishment. Highly recommend. read more

The food was great! Compared to a few other places here in the valley that are similar, this place was the best in my opinion. The chicken tenders were made well and had a nice crunch and i loved the fries. Their home made sauce is fantastic; it's not a fry swings and i loved that about it. Very original and it was perfect for the tenders and the fries as well. The toast was not bland. I could tell it was texas toast. It was very flavorful. We will definitely be coming back here again! read more

So surprised to hear we have a Guthrie's! Had to stop by just for the nostalgia from afternoon college snack time back east. Keeping it simple and old school like before. Decent tenders and of course the signature sauce. Finally a fry sauce that makes sense to me... Fries did seem more soggy than I remember, but friendly service, reasonable prices and overall just excited they finally made it out this way. read more

Guthries probably has the best chicken strips in town. The sides were not the best in town but the strips made it worth the trip. The real discovery in our visit was that they do chicken buckets and larger group deals, which will be fantastic for our summer poolside activities. The staff was very nice and the place is clean. We didn't know this before going but Guthries is one of the very first chicken strips joints in the US. Kinda fascinating. read more

Guthries - 5 piece chicken finger meal. - Fast Food Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

Definitely one of the tastiest chicken fingers I've had in a while. The toast was delicious, so was the slaw, and the sauce. Lady at the counter was super nice, and the place is kept clean. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood of some tasty food. read more

This place beats any other chicken place I've had - the strips, sweet & Sassy sauce, and the sweet team make it the best (after Zaxby's - which isn't in ID). HIghly impressed - the girls that worked there were super awesome and hellpful. I ordered the $50 family meal and it di not take very long to prepare. It was all fresh and delicious. Fries are okay but everything else is fire - especially the sweet tea! read more

Service was so slow. Only car in the drive-through and it took us 20 minutes to get our food 2 kids meals. Then we did not get sauce. We were given one napkin for two meals. Fries were overcooked. Out of lemonade. I asked for a bottled water instead of lemonade and was given a cup of tap water. Worst experience ever will never go again. read more

Wow! Trying Guthrie's out and having it fresh (instead of taking it home to eat) was a GREAT idea. The chicken was hot, fresh, and tender. I would say this is on the same level as Raising Cane's, if not better. Excellent quality, the fries were hot and crispy, the service was fast and friendly. My whole family was impressed and my kids thought it was the "best chicken" they have ever had. HIGHLY recommend trying them out, and don't wait to eat your chicken! Much better hot. read more

Decided to eat here instead of Slim Chickens for dinner for the family tonight. I haven't been in a few months , and had somewhat of a pleasant experience in the past. To my families disappointment, the chicken strips were about half of the size as we've had in the past, and it seems like we're eating fried breading with very little chicken. The french fries were all very well done as well. We asked for one side of ranch and were charged .59 for a tablespoon of ranch. Looks like we made the wrong choice. Won't be coming back. read more

Their chicken was amazing, it I felt like I was at raising canes with how good it was, the sauce was amazing. The wait time for our food was pretty long, but it was worth the wait! read more

Wow, this was really bad. Should be zero stars! 7:30 on Sunday night, no one in the drive through and no one inside. Walked in and immediately smelt like old frying oil. 2 employees walked by behind the counter while we were standing there with 5 people, not one word was said. No hello, no I'll be right with you, nothing. We walked out and went to slim chickens. Save yourself the time and money and go to Dave's Hot chicken or Slim Chicken. Won't go back there. read more

We were on our way home when we thought we'd try Guthries out. Got a whole bucket without thinking and on our way trying it. It was so salty ! We were so upset, we didn't want to drive back all the way to meridian to let them know. The girl was also not very friendly and we added two fries and didn't expect it to be so tiny. read more

We ordered "the original". and it was hot and delish. You'll need to ask for extra sauce. Middleton needs a place like this.

My kids and I usually go to the vista location, always nice. Just found out about this Meridian location. Still enjoyed the food, but floor, and tables were very dirty, and wasn't even busy, just us, the workers were in back, as the main door to their kitchen opened from one worker went back, we could see all outside the back door just visiting. My son ordered a small drink and two large drinks with our orders and they charged for largest but only gave small drinks. The guy who waited on us was grumpy, didn't smile, wasn't very friendly at all. No one was up front watching the register, and none checked or cleaned the lobby, seating or tables, floor needed swept and mopped. We live closer to the vista, so probably keep going back to it. They smile, say hi, very friendly, never dirty, always clean floor, clean tables and seatings always clean. The lady that runs it, maybe owns it, I don't know maybe just supervises, but she makes sure everything keeps clean. Was disappointed trying the Meridian location. It's too far and we drove out of our way to try it out. Won't be back there probably for a long time. read more

We went today after church and the inside was closed so we did the drive thru and ate it in the parking lot. The chicken was dry and the pieces were small. Fast forward to this evening and my son and I are sick. Prior to today we had gone a couple times before and it was decent but now we will never return read more

Great fast food. We ordered the little "g" snack, the 4 tender meal and the tender sandwich meal. The chicken is freaking amazing!! They have crinkle fries! The soda is coke products. The service was excellent. Very clean and modern looking establishment. We will be back! read more

Guthries - Little "g" meal almost gone! Because it was delicious! - Fast Food Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

The chicken was flavorful I liked the crispy crust. I would give the fries about 1 star rating. They were thick and heavy. Quite greasy. I was disappointed. I tried the Guthries on Vista. I'll stick with McDonalds next door. read more

All time fav place for chicken tenders!!! Always great service and amazing food. I'm from the south so having this here is nice read more

Sorry, but the servings are very small and very, very, salty. Chicken tender was on the dry side.

Recently moved into the Boise area. We looked for and realized we would not find a "Cane's Chicken Fingers" in the area. While shopping one day we noticed a new placed called Guthrie's. We did not stop that day but looked them up on the 'net to determine what they were about. Sure looked like a take on Cane's (and really because chronologically Guthrie's was established first, Cane's could be considered a take on Guthries). Of course we needed to try them out. Much like Cane's the folks working at Guthrie's were welcoming and very friendly. This is a new building and thus everything inside was fresh and clean. A good upbeat vibe typical of Cane's. Usually we share a "Caniac" meal at Cane's - that is, a six-finger meal that includes cole slaw, Texas toast, and crinkle fires (altho we usually opt for no toast and double fries). Today we stuck to the same sized meal at Guthries in order to do a complete comparison. As with Cane's, the Guthries meal "The Big G" box included six fingers, cole slaw, Texas toast, and crinkle fries. Oh also includes a drink. (we always save two of the fingers to take home as a special treat for our dogs). I usually provide photos when I review different places, but did not take any on this day, very sorry. I would only add that the photos on the Guthries web page is representative of what we saw. Since this was truly a side-by-side comparison, I will provide my take on each item below: 1. Chicken fingers - Surprising, but we both thought Guthrie's fingers were seasoned in a more pleasing manner than Cane's. Don't get me wrong, the Cane's fingers from a quality standpoint were just as good, we just felt the subtle seasoning in Guthries coating were excellent. 2. Crinkle fries - While they were very good, have to give the nod to Cane's here. The fries at Guthries did not have the same firmness on the inner portion of the fries - the slightly crisp crunch was fine on the outside, but the fries seemed to be a little mushy (probably an unfair word here) on the inside. We still ate all of them, but just think Cane's fries held up a little better. 3. Fry sauce - A virtual tie. Would be difficult to delineate if the fry sauces were placed side by side in a blind taste test. 4. Cole slaw - Really enjoyed Guthrie's version of cole slaw. The flavors for us seemed to jump out a bit more than Cane's. The Cane's slaw feels a bit one note - very generic (dare I say much like KFC's?). On the other hand, we both thought Guthrie's slaw was distinctive. Not Earth-shattering, but tasty. 5. Texas toast - Another tie - both are very similar. Would gladly enjoy either although as earlier-mentioned, we pass on the Texas toast and request a double-fry instead. There you have it. For is, Guthrie's will serve as a very good substitution for Cane's. The satisfaction of our chicken finger needs can easily be matched with a stop at Guthrie's. read more

I've had Guthrie's before a few months back - it was ok -- even good. I ordered for the second time today. The chicken was so salty it was inedible. It tasted like it was soaked in salt water and then cooked in a canister of salt. The fries were hard and undercooked. The bread was cooked on one side. read more

This chicken spot is overpriced and over hyped. Go to chick fil a if you want a decent chicken meal.

Pretty Good Chicken Strips but No Ranch Dressing / Sauce? No Ranch with Chicken Strips?...C'mon

Went through the drive through...first time. Wasn't interesting in the sides, so order 9 finger with no idea of the size. Turns out they are smaller chicken strips which was fine. 9 fingers with no sides and 3 sauces was $19.80. They look good...smell good...have a good crunch, and taste bland as anything. There's no season in them or on them whatsoever. Thank goodness the sauce was good. Won't go back, mid product. read more

The everything was good the food was good it was a good environment but they don't have that many employees so we waited for a while

When you want to eat canes but don't have it in your area yet- there's Guthries. Not an exact clone, but it's close. Staff was super friendly when I rolled up ten min before closing. Food was cooked to order and had good flavor. Sauce is plentiful and provided a nice addition to the fried chicken bits. Certainly stop in for your fill of chicken bits and sauce when you have the hankering for some canes. read more

Chicken is good fries are not bad portions are small but hopefully they're gonna get their act together and it'll be a great chicken place in our area because we need another good one. Give it a try. read more

Best chicken fingers around, I would say. Fries and toast are worthy supporting players.

Everyone should support a new business in our town at least once. The menu is small and simple. Prices are good. It was clean and had plenty of seating inside. Service was nice but they were new so there was 1 error that they fixed right away. 1 kids meal option: 2 strips, crinkle fries, juice box and cookie. We had a pleasant experience. Has a drive thru! read more

Clean and new restaurant. Chicken was juicy and crispy. no changing tables. Drinks are behind the counter so you have to ask for refills.
