This was a really enjoyable American style restaurant. It was a fun and open atmosphere with interesting art work. We were seated as soon as we entered and had our waitress at our table right away to take our drink orders. And she was always available. We tried the elk sliders and they were amazing, and the tater tots were cooked perfect. We tried a few of their local IPAs and they were served cold in a cold glass. Our overall experience was good. They gave you a lot of food and everything tasted good. Seating is spaced well so you are never sitting next to others. The music was not loud so it was easy to have conversations. I would recommend this place for families or couples or even if you are by yourself. They have an enjoyable bar area with seating. We were traveling and felt lucky to find this restaurant.

This place popped up as a must-try burger spot in downtown Nampa, and it didn't disappoint. It's a fun little spot in the heart of downtown, a decent amount of seating, and service was great. Since it was our first time, we asked for recs and everything she recommended was yummy. We started with the Mac and cheese and bacon egg rolls- I know, it sounds off-the-wall, but so is this place, and in this regard, it's a good thing! They were probably my personal favorite part of our meal. The sauce had great heat and they were delicious. My son ordered The Elliot burger, I Had the Holy Cow burger and my daughter got the Cobb salad- everything was fresh and tasty- I would have loved the spicy sauce that came with the egg rolls on my burger, but that's for next time. We tried the fries and tots, and our recommendation would be to get the fries. If you love a good burger, a fun place to eat, and great service, go give them a try- you won't be disappointed.

I come here from time to time. In can be a little hard finding parking but its worth the drive. I like to order a burger and tots. It is always cooked well and the fries are always well seasoned. The holy cow cause is great and it has great flavor. The waiters are always nice and so it the cashier. They get us seated in a timely manner. The holy cow has great merchandise in store and it feels cozy. I would recommend coming here for lunch. Its when its least busy. Great spot.

Ask the Community - Holy Cow

Hi! Can't wait to try your burgers. Please confirm whether you have a dedicated fryer for gluten free fries? I called your restaurant & was told that you do have a dedicated fryer for fries BUT fry beer-battered fries in them (not gluten free). TY!

I can confirm that they do not have a dedicated fryer for their fried foods.

Are the fries cooked in a shared fryer?

No there is a dedicated fry fryer

Where is the best place to park when coming here? Does it have its own parking lot?

There is free street parking on the same block as Holy Cow, and and surrounding ones. If those are all full there is a free city lot next to the train depot.

The 2 chandeliers have so many cobwebs on them that i wondered if it was left over Halloween decorations. They also have mismatched bulbs. Additionally all the exposed air ductwork is also filthy. My mom turned 82 today and has compromised pulmonary issues and when i saw all this the first thing that ran through my mind is I hope she's not gonna inhale all that stuff and have a rough day tomorrow breathing. Again, admittedly, yes, I am being picky but when I take 12 people out to dinner and drop a couple hundred dollars doing such, I want the place to be sharp and on point. The service is and always has been. But the place is looking a little rough. A few guys, a few ladders and a few hours will make a lot of difference.

I was at an event in Nampa the other night and ordered food online from Whiskey River because it…read morewas close to the venue. Within seconds, I received a text that my order had been received, but not confirmed, and to watch for a confirmation text. After 30 minutes, I still had not received a confirmation text, so I messaged asking for an approximate time. The reply stated they were "slammed" and that my order would be ready in about 30 minutes. After another 45 minutes, I still had not received any communication from them, so I decided to walk over to check on my order, hoping that it would be ready. The first thing I noticed was that there were not a lot of customers inside. I informed the server behind the bar that I was there to pick up my order, and she went back to check. When she returned, she told me that there were no pickup orders. I showed her the email with my order number and told her that I never received a confirmation from them. She went back into the kitchen, then came back and said they didn't have my order, but could make it while I waited - about 10 minutes. I reluctantly agreed and waited. When I got my order, I asked for a few extra cups of sauce. The server was put off, as if asked to perform an overwhelming task. Needless to say, I left the establishment with a less-than-favorable taste in my mouth. 24 hours later, I received a text from them that my order was confirmed and would be ready to be picked up. I texted back that this was 24 hours late and to cancel the order. The reply was that their texting service was unavailable, and to call for questions. I then replied to the confirmation email, hoping that would get through to them. No such luck. The reply I received said that delivery had failed - that their email box was full. I will say that the food was good, and that the server was mainly friendly. However, the whole online ordering system needs some serious revamping. I hope that Whiskey River will take this review as constructive criticism so that future customers will have an easier, smoother online ordering experience.

Jak's Place is a little hidden gem here in Nampa! What went right at our gathering yesterday? Let…read moreme tell you!! Customer service was beyond over the top! I was trying to put an event together for our Red Hat group for the month of March. Since the date for the event fell on St. Patty' Day, of course we would go somewhere that served corned beef and cabbage! I had heard that Jak's served a mean corned beef, so I stopped in to inquire about hosting our group of 12 for lunch at 11:30; they were happy to put us on their calendar. I received an email confirmation which included their lunch menu. I was a bit concerned as there was no mention of the corned beef on the menu, so when I called to confirm I was assured that they would indeed have it for lunch that day . During the course of our luncheon I was told by the manager, Liz, that Jak's was originally offering the corned beef only as a dinner option, but since our group had specifically requested it for lunch, they added it to their menu, just for us!! How over the top is THAT?? When we arrived the atmosphere was inviting, the restaurant was decked out with lots of St. Patty's Day greenery, and there was Irish music playing on the sound system. Our table was set up and prepared for our group; our friendly and efficient waitress was ready and waiting for our shenanigans! The portion of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots was generous; I ended up taking quite a bit home for the hubby, which he was more than happy to finish off for his lunch! The meat was well seasoned and pretty tender, which can be tricky as sometimes the cut of the meat can make it a bit tough. There was a nice selection of various specialty adult beverages to round out the offerings, but as I personally don't imbibe I cannot give a review for those. By the time we were ready to leave, the place was pretty well packed..it was a fun and lively place to be to celebrate the day! Well done, Jak's Place...a good time was had by all!

The poor service started as soon as we entered the door. Only one couple ahead of us and no one to…read moreseat us. Once we ordered it was a good 30-35 minutes before our food arrived. We had to ask for more water. My food was great but my friend's turkey cranberry salad was horrible. The turkey was not cooked all the way, at least the turkey she got. Had to return the salad and ordered something else. In the meantime, the service was terrible. Very slow.

Great music playing and a very nice patio. It gave an old BBQ feel with relaxing vibes. Now the food was amazing as well. Fall off the bone! James the manager came out and greeted us, Jackie was super friendly and took our order. It's definitely a place where you can eat good food, drink cold beer, enjoy a cocktail, and hang out feeling comfortable. We will be back!

The Vibe & Service…read more Plenty of seating options here with a spacious indoor area and a nice patio. The walls feature cute artwork, the facility is fully wheelchair accessible, and the parking lot is a decent size with easy parking. Service shines thanks to James. He was prompt, very welcoming, and even offered to get my pup a bowl of water. The speakers play a unique, diverse variety of music. The Drink: I tried the raspberry margarita. It was good but definitely alcohol-forward rather than flavor-forward. If you prefer a fruitier cocktail, keep this in mind. The Food: Being from Oklahoma, I have high standards for BBQ and cornbread. Unfortunately, the cornbread was a major disappointment. It tasted raw, underdone, and lacked that classic, rich cornbread flavor I was craving. For my main, I ordered the chipotle peach barbecue sliders. You get three toasted buns piled with moist, smoky pulled pork tossed in a chipotle peach BBQ sauce and topped with fresh coleslaw. The pork itself had a great smoky depth. The baked beans missed the mark for me. I expected a Texas-style BBQ bean, but these had a thin, smoky, light tomato sauce flavor that tasted a bit too close to canned tomato sauce.

No windows or natural light, but it wasn't too dark inside. Lots of tables and seating options, a couple of pool tables, nice looking patio.

For food I tried the Reuben with curly fries. The sandwich was excellent. Super hot! The fries were curly fries. Nothing special, but not bad either. Everything was very reasonably priced! I will say service was very slow. Friendly, but it looked like their were only two servers. Maybe one bartender and a couple of cooks. Drinks and food just took a long time to come out. One of my friends got a burger and said it was delicious. There are a few things I definitely want to come back and try. Not sure I'd sit on their patio.
