First time at Maddies, my husband and I decided not to go to our regular restaurant we wanted to…read moregive Maddies a try however first impression as we walked in the restaurant its self looked great but the two greeters at the door NOT so much !!! They just stood and stared at us not a hello Smile Nothing so I said do we seat ourselves and the short tubby one with black rim glasses said No she has to seat us , in side or out she said we decided inside the restaurant was quite empty at this point it was 6.30 , so she stood there looked around the restaurant and took us to the back of the restaurant to what I can describe as a thin small bench with two chairs I said no we would not like to sit there maybe we can go outside she had an irritated look on her face and took us outside handed the menus quite aggressive to me and walked off customer service was 0 % !!! However after being treated like that things did get better we had an awesome waiter very friendly, spoke to the young lady clearing our table again he was awesome and very friendly, our food was excellent we did have a nice time after not being treated right from the two greeters , we will come back to Maddies how ever maybe a chat to the two greeters at the front about customer service and how it is done and if they can't greet and be Happy with customers maybe put them in the kitchen or have them just clear tables because neither one of them had a personality, Short Tubby one and tall blonde Absolutely Awful.

This breaks my heart because I love Maddi's but their food is really disgusting. They took the best…read morething off the menu, which was their happy hour barbecue fries and now I don't even wanna ever order food. I have tried the flatbread the fries, the salads clearly I tried the Parmesan chicken sandwich and it was disgusting. I mean look at the photo. I'm not liked anything on their menu except for the barbecue fries which they don't have anymore. The Parmesan garlic fries are too strong. The flavor is overpowering. The Caesar salad has way too much dressing and the lettuce is not crispy enough. The service is kind of hit or miss but it's a very busy place but sometimes you have to wait 20+ minutes for your check. It's a great time when they host dancing or Trivia, but I would not come here on a regular night nor would I ever order their food. Their drinks are good but kind of depends on the bartender because sometimes they're not made correctly according to the ingredients listed on the drink menu. However, the line dancing is phenomenal, and I do really love their outdoor seating, especially the fire pits in the winter

I heard Bodovino was closing, so wanted to give it one last visit before it does. I don't know if…read moreit's because they're closing is the reason everything was a disappointment or what's going on. We ordered two drinks , the Mojito and the French. They were absolutely terrible and we are not picky. I don't know what is going on, but it was crazy. The server was pretty short. The door was open to their patio and I walked out and he quickly said I'm actually not serving outside. It wasn't pleasant. I have your door open then. The sun was out. The charcuterie board was crazy. We got the small one. It was like an entire cup of dried cranberries, it was weird. I was sad to see them go, but I guess I'm excited for a new business.

Came in on a Sunday evening and it's a small place that I wouldn't go out of my way for. They had…read morethese cards that you would swipe to fill your wine glasses, so you would walk around to find something you liked. There was a gentleman behind the bar, kind of. I needed a napkin and he was no where to be found, so walked behind the bar to grab a napkin and he came out of nowhere to scold me, "to not go behind the bar". I wouldn't have if he had shown his face and not left us all hanging for close to 30 minutes. Too many other fine establishments in this area to ever visit again. Very unfriendly and certainly not attentive.

We've been going here for a little over a year now and all of the staff is just so incredibly friendly. I mean I love being able to just walk in and ask "Andy what are we drinking?" And he knows exactly what hazy to get my husband and cider for me. They have a good amount of seating and when it gets a little busier they open up their event room for extra space. When it's nice out they also have outside seating. There is plenty of parking on the premise, even when it's been busy we've had no problem finding parking. They don't serve food, but you can order from uncle bobs in the same complex, pick it up and bring it over. They used to have a food truck that would park in the back but I haven't seen one in quite some time. During the week they also have events like live music, paint nights, etc. Definitely a great centrally located place in Meridian without always something good on tap!

We love supporting locally owned businesses throughout the Treasure Valley. We were alarmed when we saw an SUV weaving way too fast through the cars in the parking lot and then quickly grabbing front-row parking. It was the male owner!!!

BanBury Golf Course is hands down my go-to spot for golf in the Treasure Valley. It is not only…read morebeautifully designed but also rich in history. BanBury, a public course in Eagle thoughtfully designed by John Harbottle III, has consistently ranked among Idaho's top 10 public courses by Golf Digest for nearly two decades. The course flows gently along the South Channel of the Boise River and offers both challenge and charm. It was the first in our area to host a USGA championship, the U.S. Junior Girls. They are also adding a new simulator building next to Harvey's, their on-site restaurant. The space will feature three TrackMan simulators, full club-fitting services, and direct access to the bar, which sounds perfect for practice or a post-round hangout. My favorite part is sharing this place with friends. The golf course is pristine and welcoming. The staff is phenomenal, especially their PGA pro Drew, who gave me two lessons and runs fantastic group clinics. I always leave feeling more confident on the green. The restaurant side is just as amazing. The team, especially Law, knows our order so well that last visit he brought us our Arnold Palmers before we even asked. We always round out our day with lunch. Chicken tacos, Caesar salad, Reubens, burgers -- the food never disappoints. For evening golf or dinner, their prime rib and salmon are standout dishes. BanBury offers a flawless blend of great golf, excellent instruction, warm hospitality, and delicious food. I highly recommend it whether you are there to play, to eat, or just to spend time with friends.

Played Banbury this weekend on a visit to town. One of the premier courses in Boise for decades,…read morethe decline of this course has been rapid since the departure of the original management team and greens keeper. Once the best public course within hundreds of miles, is now a shell of itself. What used to be a destination for me any time I was around, has become a once a year stop at the most. It's upsetting, especially considering how high the demand is in Boise for an elite public golf course. This weekends round was made especially miserable because of two factors the course absolutely had control over. The first being that myself (single digit handicap) and my partner (mid-handicap) were paired with two young men in their 20's, one of which had never played before. Needless to say, he was miserable, as were we. I had to buy drinks for the group behind us to apologize. Most egregious however, was that the course decided to let a group of FIVE people out in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, to film some Tik-Tok Golf Influencer "content". Our front nine, playing behind these folks took over 2 hours and 45 minutes, but then after the turn Hole 10 took 31 minutes BY ITSELF! By hole 14 we had decided to go ahead of them, and then were verbally accosted by the group as if wed done something inappropriate. And all of this cost me well over $100. The course conditions were mediocre and torn up, and it was crowded and slow even without the influencers. Highlights included awesome service from the folks in the restaurant and bar, and the young lady driving the beverage cart. All of which were affable, friendly, and made sure to take great care of us. Also the gentlemen in the Pro Shop were very professional, and understood my frustrations when I went to speak with them post round. I won't be back to Banbury this year. Might not be back again unless there's major changes to the operations and standards at Banbury Golf Club. Here's hoping that happens, because it sucks to see a world class golf course end up like that.

The top shelf margarita I ordered came in a big schooner making you think you're getting a huge margarita but basically all ice! They say you can tell the quality of a restaurant by how clean the entrance doors are, the glass doors here were filthy and inside wasn't much different! my server did a really good job and I feel sorry for him having to work in a place with such terrible food quality. It's a wonder they're even in business.

I moved here a few years ago and have stopped in here a few times now, it's a little out of my way. At first I thought it was a franchise, I'm told it's not. The menu is so close, the layout, the drinks...weird. Now I came in to watch some football Sunday and grabbed an App. I did the Tuna Nachos...Now I will say, I have had this dish in MN many times and loved it. This, was not that! First off both my comments I was told by the bartender that I am wrong about, but I am not convinced! The Guaq tasted like it was from a package...blended super creamy, not at all like Guacamole that has been made fresh in-house....but I guess maybe? Also, the chips with something like this are almost always a thicker tortilla that's been fried fresh, where these were super thin chips that tasted like they came from a bag...just not good! I have never had a chip that thin that was a tortilla fried....you just can't roll them that thin... In a dish like this with tuna and other things a thin chip just breaks apart and can't hold up...which is why most places fry a regular tortilla for a dish like this! Overall, again this is a serious knock-off from the MN company! Upper income area, great layout, open kitchen, great atmosphere...but just a shell from what I have seen (look up Crave, Edina MN)...so far...I'll be back! KT
