If you are looking for a top-tier dining experience, Lock Stock and Barrel is a must-visit. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the lovely atmosphere and the exceptional staff who made us feel welcome throughout the entire evening. We kicked things off with the 1 lb. Steamer Clams, and they were phenomenal--the broth was so flavorful we couldn't get enough of it. For drinks, I highly recommend their Lemon Drop Martini, which was perfectly balanced, while my companion enjoyed a classic Jack and Coke. The food only got better from there. We sampled the Clam Chowder, and I can honestly say it's some of the best we've ever had. For the main course, he ordered the Dry Aged Cowboy Cut Ribeye with the salad bar and described it as absolutely delicious. I opted for the 16oz Prime Rib, and it was spectacular--the meat was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. Everything about our meal was fantastic. We highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great service and even better food. We will definitely be back! read more

My wife and I brought our daughter here for her birthday. We made reservations for 6 pm on a Saturday night. When you walk in, there is a lot of dark wood, kind of a rustic feel, but a little dated. There is an upstairs and a downstairs, and just inside the front door on the right is a stage. Indeed, there was live music. We were sat upstairs at a table overlooking the downstairs. Two large ceiling beams prevented us from being able to fully see the female singer/guitarist. The restaurant became even more busy by the time we received our food. It was loud, but for the most part I could hear my wife and daughter talking. Our server, a tall brunette, and I failed to get her name, came to our table quickly. My daughter ordered a Whiskey Sour, my wife a glass of wine, and I wanted a hazy IPA. Alas, their draft system was on the fritz, and they had no IPAs in bottles. That was disappointing. However, someone made a beer run, and our server informed me that they had Lagunitas in a can. Not a hazy, and a beer you can buy in any grocery store, but I would have to settle. We were also serve some warm, tasty sourdough rolls. The food took too long to come out. Our daughter had the filet with cheesy potatoes and a house salad, and my wife and I had the jumbo prawns with rice and asparagus. My wife also got a bowl of New England clam chowder. All of the food was delicious. I saw someone walk by with Mud Pie(they call it Cow Pie) and I knew I had to have some for dessert. My wife said that she only wanted dessert if they had Creme Brulee. Well, the server came over to say, without us asking, that they had Creme Brulee. My wife was a happy camper. I did have empathy for our server. It sounded like it had been a rough night for her. Working the upstairs tables, she was having to go up and down a steep staircase continuously, and when I commented on how hard that must be, she said that her knee was bothering her. So, I think she was working in pain. Our daughter was excited about the live music. The solo singer/guitarist sang songs by Tracy Chapman, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, and Cold Play. As we were leaving, our daughter praised her and got her card, intending to follow her on Instagram and go see her play live here and at other places. All in all, I was happy with our first experience at Lock Stock, and Barrel. read more

How disappointing.. salad bar was fine. The prime rib soup tasted like an old can of Campbell's with some ground beef. Weird flavors. The prime rib tasted eerily similar to pot roast. The carrots were good. The broccolini was straight out of the water with no butter, oils, seasoning, etc. The rolls were very good, seemed like sour dough, but I don't think they were. Not sure. Had Oreo ice cream pie dessert, it was very good but the coffee flavoring wasn't for me. Service was fine. Atmosphere was good. I hate to give a bad rating to places like this because I love places like this - but the food just wasn't good. read more

Ummm, is Matzo ball soup suppose to be room temp? $20 Reuben and no pickle? At a deli? C'mon man.

First time at lock stock & barrel! My husband and I came for our anniversary dinner on a Sunday evening. We were seated and greeted immediately downstairs. We started with a couple of drinks and then proceeded to order - I ordered the ribeye with fries & my husband had the New York steak au poivre with a loaded baked potato. My husband also had a cup of clam chowder from the salad bar. Food was delicious! This place is a no frills but good steakhouse. Comparing to chandlers, you'll spend 1/2 the price and have a pretty darn good meal! We also ordered a piece of cheesecake to go which tasted great later. Would return for sure for a comfortable, upscale meal! read more

I have been coming to Lock Stock and Barrel since the 80's as a kid. Back then it was off of Emerald. I remember that joint vividly. Some of my happiest memories were there. It was my family's go to place for dinner. Tonight I came in with my husband to celebrate Valentines day. Our reservation was at 7:45. The sweet hostess got us sat. I have never eaten on the second level and that's where our table was tonight. We were next to the railing which was fun. We got a great view of the night preformer and all the guests. As cool as the location of our table was, I would have liked a bigger table. The size of the table would have been great for a couple appetizers and drinks. Our meals took up the whole table and it felt really congested. We made it work but I'll probably request a bigger table the next time we go. Ali took care of us tonight. She was great! She got our drinks started and dropped off some warm sourdough rolls. For dinner we ordered the Asiago ribeye special, Argentina crab legs and 2 lobster tails. We added an extra salad bar cause we both needed some clam chowder from the salad bar. The clam chowder will always be my favorite here. It was fabulous in the 80's and it was fabulous tonight. The sourdough rolls were beautifully baked. Crusty on the outside and so soft in the middle. Dipping the rolls into the chowder is my favorite! The ribeye was perfectly charred! I had the medallion of the ribeye and it was sooooooo good! It was topped with an Asiago sauce that added a great flavor to the steak. The lobster was sweet and tender. The melted butter was perfect with the lobster. The Argentina crab legs were ok. For 39.99 for a half a pound, I didn't feel like it was worth the money. The legs were dry and not really warm. Not a lot of meat in the legs. It was cool to try it but it I wouldn't reorder them. It was beautiful seeing the venue full of happy guests tonight. Celebrating love, life or just enjoying the moment. I'm happy that this local joint is still around helping locals create memories like how it did for me tonight and a long time ago when i was a kid. I look forward to coming back in the future. read more

First time here tonight and we loved it! Husband had the prime rib, I had the cajun chicken risotto special and all of it was great! The salad bar and clam chowder was fabulous, and our server Nick was awesome too! Can't wait to come back read more

Haven't been there for years, but had a real craving for Prime Rib. The ambiance hasn't changed, and the wait staff were beyond perfect. First complaint was that the website menus prices were not correct and significantly lower than in restaurant. SURPRISE..... Beef quality was substandard at best. Quite willing to pay the price for quality meat. Overall quality wasn't there! French fries and mushrooms were great, but beef quality was not there. read more

Definitely a very hit or miss situation. We've come many times and have had excellent dinners but last night was not it. Our reservation was around 7 and the restaurant was a little busy but it took our server a good 10 minutes to finally greet us and then another 20 minutes until my drink arrived which I ordered the first time the server was at the table. We finally got our food order in once my drink arrived and we headed off to the salad bar. Noticed our bread never arrived when we got back and we had to ask for it. Me and my husband ordered barrel steaks and once our food arrived my steak was cooked perfectly and tasted really good and the first cut into my husband's steak looked great. Server checked on us after first two bites and then did not return until I had finished eating and asked if we wanted boxes. My husband has only eaten a couple bites and then cut it down the center and it was rare he ordered medium. The server then asked us why we didn't say something earlier, we tried to track her down and she didn't come anywhere near our table while we were eating. She didn't not offer a discount or anything and we are not the type to ask for one especially when a restaurant seems to be busy. However less than a quarter of the steak had been eaten and I do not feel as we should've had to pay for it. The server apologized and took our plates and brought us the check 10 minutes later didn't ask us if we wanted a free desert or even if we wanted to buy dessert. Not pleased with our experience last night seems like the servers don't want to let the manager know when their tables are upset and just kinda shrug their shoulders at you. It's going to be a while before we come back. read more

Lock, Stock & Barrel never disappoints! The salad bar is one of the freshest I've ever had--crisp greens, great toppings, and everything beautifully stocked. The steak was absolutely excellent, cooked just the way I like it, tender and full of flavor. And the salmon? Cooked to perfection. Flaky, seasoned just right, and truly delicious. From start to finish, everything was amazing. Highly recommend! read more

We have visited this restaurant a couple of times. Both times, we had a great experience. Great food and cocktail options. My guy gets really excited about their salad bar, loves the soup options. read more

I enjoy the soup and salad bar. The salad veggies are always fresh, and the additions are great. I love that clam chowder is always available, and another soup choice features one of a variety of recipes. Fresh baked sour dough rolls with butter make this a delicious meal for me! read more

Everything was excellent. Prime rib was perfectly rare. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Great birthday celebration with free dessert. read more

I left Boise 36 years ago, and in 1989 I had the best prime rib of my entire life at Lock, Stock & Barrel. Last year, in 2025, I finally returned after all that time specifically to relive that legendary meal. To my complete shock, it was the worst prime rib I've had in those 36 years. read more

Went there for our anniversary. The food was mediocre at best. Not very flavorful. They're online prices are about $20 less than the menu prices for steak. If you go there, be sure you check the prices on the menu and don't rely on their website prices. They need to update their information if they're going to charge that much more than the website prices. read more

My husband came in for the Sunday special of two prime ribs for $60. We thought it was a great deal. I made a reservation for 5p and showed up a little early, but was seated immediately. Our server was great & very attentive while we were there. The baked brie and roasted garlic was amazing, as were the sourdough rolls. The prime rib was delicious, and cooked just how we wanted it. The caesar salad was tasty, with a nice lemon coming through in the dressing. The vibe of the restaurant is casual, which we were preferred for a nice Sunday dinner. We'll be back. read more

Still a great place! Wanted to go to a place near my house that's near my house but it over an hour wait. I left and realized I could get right in. Food was great and love the bar they have here. It had been years since I had last come for dinner. Live in Meridian now so need to get out of my comfort zone more often. read more

The salad bar was just the perfect thing EVER!!! The right amount of ingredients but the most wonderful salad dressing... parm/vinaigrette legit!! Soups were clam chowder & prime rib stroganoff EXCELLENT!!!!! read more

Should have trusted the recent reviews but had to try this long time Boise landmark. Nice bar wuth live music on a Saturday night. Inside is old and not old in a good way. Service is the one good feature. Food, not so much. The salad bar at a Sizzler is better. Nothing special here. Appetizer baked brie and garlic was just ok. They filled the plate with toast and we only needed a quarter of them. Lackluster. Filet and prime rib were good cuts of meat and cooked well. Only saving grace. Baked potatoes were cold, and I mean cold. So much so I didn't eat it. Vegetables were the same, cold. Tried it once, will not be back. Too many othet good places especially for the price. read more

Service here is a hit or miss. When the cute bar server brings the check before asking "is there anything else" it screams inexperience and 'I don't deserve a bigger tip.' (Not the end of night or crowded). The salad bar is lackluster and how they decide if you get their kitchen prepared salad or 'ho yo the salad bar' is beyond me after several visits. Conclusion -Boise restaurants are suffering for good managers who know how to to train for good service and maintain it. Their food is good but so is Stagecoach with better servers and bartenders. read more

A great place for a reliably great steak! The starter salad has something for everyone.

Lock Stock and Barrel has been open for as long as I can remember...over 30 years. It has always been awesome. The Salad bar is always our favorite addition to our meals. We tend to get steaks and prime rib but everything we try turns out great. We don't get downtown as often as we used to but when we do we check in there read more

Fire flames food period. We loved these steaks and appetizers. Our drinks were delicious and we had a great experience!

This place is the best place to eat We are out of the state from California our waitress was Annalise. Very very nice waitress excellent service. I recommend if you come to Idaho check this restaurant. read more

This is their $32 plate of "JUMBO PRAWN". They serve you skimpy little medium sized shrimp and try to pass it off as "jumbo prawn". Who are you trying to fool? Their ribeye steak ended up costing $55. Overpriced food, not worth it, look elsewhere. read more

I recently traveled to Boise, Idaho for work. We were looking for a good restaurant. Randomly found lock stock and barrel and decided to eat there. We had an amazing experience, sitting at the bar. The place was not pretentious, it just put out amazing food. I got the bacon wrapped scallops with risotto, which were well worth every single bite. I also got the blue cheese, ribeye, and salad bar. We need more restaurants that put out good food and not just try to be cool. This place knew exactly what it was delivering. Highly recommended. read more

Took us 40 min to get first drinks. Another 40 min to get food. Requested med Rare on prime Rib. Comes out Medium. Politely Request a new cut as still in a good mood with wife until they clean plate and bring out same cut with the knife marks on the steak. Address with manager and request at this point to box my food I would like check. Proceeds to take my food, throws my food out provides my check with my food on the bill. That is a first for me. Receive bill for drinks we ordered and apology from 2nd manager who's ass wasn't actually showing. Never will go back. Waitress says I hope you don't hold it against us. My suggestion if you want to run an expensive restaurant provide the service and if you can't handle the work load book less tables read more

Pop n lock your way over to lock n stock. If you are in peril go to the barrel. Anyway....we got a flipping spread here and tried a good portion of the menu. The appetizers were solid with the Cajun bacon wrapped prawn being my favorite, the garlic and Brie was stinky and smooth, two solid choices there to wet the whistle. The steaks were good, with very generous portions on the cut. I'd recommend either of the two dry aged options or the black and blue ribeye with the later possibly taking the cake. It's a smaller place but I would definitely go back. It's a local spot for sure so If you are from the area chances are you will see someone you know. Give it a go and eat up Boise. read more

Our friends made a dinner reservation after our daughter's memorial service. We all ordered medium rare steaks, but my husband and I chose the filet Oscar with a side of asparagus ($57.99) and added a 6-oz lobster ($39.99). Unfortunately, our filet arrived well done. When my husband tried a bite, it was so tough he couldn't chew it and had to spit it out, leaving our filet untouched. Although the waitress offered to prepare a new one, we politely declined. The waitress did discount our meal, taking $28 off the $57.99, so we still ended up paying nearly $30 for a side of asparagus. It was a very disappointing dinner that made an already difficult day even worse. read more

Sent here for my 51st anniversary. They don't seat for dinner before 5 so we had a drink in the bar. Nice atmosphere. Great service. Ordered the scallop appetizer. We got 3 scallops for $21. That was spendier than Chandlers! We will skip it next time. Onto the dining area where Cory was our server. He was attentive without being over-bearing. Just the right amount checking back to see if we needed anything. Salad bar was enough for just that - a salad. Simple salad making. This isn't Sizzler with a huge salad bar. Adequate enough to make a salad. If you want a caesar salad, that is an option in place of the salad bar. Something for everyone. Soup is included with the salad bar. The clam chowder was very good, but the Prime Rib Chili was the BOM!!!! I would come back just for that! Rolls are complimentary at one per person. Extras will cost $.50 each. Hubby got the prime rib which was prepare just to his liking. A nice medium rare with being bloody. The baked potato was HUGE! He was in. heaven. A nice peppercorn coating gave it a lot of flavor. Not just chewing on a hunk of beef. This was really good! Mushrooms were limp and over done. Skip those next time too. I had the dry aged New York with brandy cream and a lobster tail. Delicious! Not the typical boiled the broiled tail. This was baked with a buttery glazed. You can taste the lobster instead it being boiled way. My steak was easily cut with a knife. A nice thickness and beautiful finish with the brandy cream sauce. The asparagus was overdone and mushy so they exchanged it for the broccoli, which came out perfectly. So why not 5 stars? Dessert was abyssmal. I ordered the bread pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. What I received was a 3"x4"x 1/2" slice of deep friend cinnamon bread. It was so deep friend it was hard as a rock! Not soft at all. Deep fried slab of bread? Really? No amount of caramel sauce (which was pretty good BTW) or ice cream was going to soften it up. It was so bad we started laughing. I took photos (attached) and emailed the manager. Haven't heard back or anything tho. Personally, the meal was so good it a shame to screw it up with lousy dessert. They are currently closed for lunch due to lots of construction on 11th. I will be back. I would like to come back for the soup and salad bar (as I don't eat heavy meals like this often), and for the next special occasion. Oh, and they had live music as we left. It was very nice read more

Had an opportunity to dine at LS&B last night with some friends. Absolutely love Lock Stock and Barrel. Over the past 27-years we have made LS&B our choice for family events, anniversaries, and couple's night out. The food is fantastic and we have never been disappointed with the steaks. The fresh bread and salad bar make the meal such a value. Our servers have always been consistently attentive over the years. There are a lot of choices for steak joints in Boise, we choose LS&B, never pretentious, always delicious! read more

We live a few blocks down and decided to try this restaurant. I think we will become regulars. Krista was awesome and the food was more than generous and high quality. The ambiance is lively but not too loud. We will be back. Great service and food all around. read more

I was very excited to come here. The black and blue Ribeye and salad bar caught my eye. It wasn't at all what I expected it to be. Everyone in Boise has been super friendly but everyone at this restaurant seemed they didn't really want to be there, especially the manager. The manager was the coldest person in the room. The salad bar wasn't anything special, it was as basic as it could get. The steak was a good cut but it was bland. Same with the horseradish mash potatoes. It felt like they put 2 ingredients together and they called it good. We won't be back. Food: 2/5 read more

The food and service were very good. My husband and I both got prime rib dinners. They had a pretty good salad bar and their chowder was really good. It is definitely more on the casual side so if you're looking for something upscale and romantic you may want to look for something else. It was just right for us. Our server, Analise, was super great. read more

Tried this place just a month ago and we have gone multiple times now! The atmosphere is cozy, the staff work their butts off to provide great service. Haven't had a bad meal yet! Our favorite is the black and bleu ribeye and the sandpiper tribute salad. I've also tried the salmon and was very impressed. The steak risotto special was very good. The shrimp cocktail was meh for the price, that's about the only thing I wouldn't get again. We've sat at the bar every time and really enjoyed the live music. Would recommend a reservation if going on a busier night. read more
