I kind of consider myself an In-and-Out Burger aficionado since I've eaten there for almost 40…read moreyears in California. Once here in Idaho, I wasn't as inclined to visit due to my fear that it wouldn't taste the same and the Idaho-shaming of visiting any location. However, I had an overwhelming desire for "animal style" well done fries and after a lot of begging, convinced my husband to come (this was not an easy task). We arrived around 4:30 pm and the dining room was roughly 1/2 full with a robust wrap in drive-thru. We were greeted by a friendly cashier who quickly took our order, then repeated it back perfectly. The kitchen was in a fervor, bustling to satisfy all the orders (really, a hard working team). We obtained our drink cups and the large, typical drink station was nicely stocked with a nice array of soft drinks to choose from. The odd thing to me is that whenever I've eaten at any other location in the past, I think the longest I've ever waited for my meal has been maybe 9 minutes, tops. No matter the time of day or night. We waited 23 minutes for our meals. It seemed that drive-thru is priority, then to-go, then dine-in. The animal style fries were pretty good, though I'm used to it being slathered with more sauce. Thankfully, I was able to get a few sauce packets and gleefully doused to my delight. However, the bun of my burger was so over toasted! The buns were actually hard and crunchy. I'm not used to that. The burger tasted like before but it was dry and overcooked as well. The lettuce, onions, tomatoes and cheese were very fresh and flavorful. My husband had the same experience with his burger as I did. Tables were not wiped down and the condiment station was out of almost everything when we got there. They didn't refill all the cups, chilis, etc. until right before we left. I really wanted to love my visit, but after this experience, and all the convincing to entice my husband there with this result, it's unlikely we will be back.

We also really appreciate that they offer a military discount. On top of all that, the restaurant is always clean. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend checking this place out! it's definitely worth trying! Their gyro sandwich and chicken shawarma are SO GOOD!

It was about 1:45 pm on a Friday, and the place was fairly crowded. We were sat at a small booth for two, not my favorite table, but understandable that they would want to save their tables and booths for four for larger parties. It's very loud, hard to talk, so in tha sense the small booth we were in, set apart from the main seating area, was better for my wife and I to talk. Our server was Yulia, and she was delightful. Very nice, efficient, and attentive. Great service! We both had the classic burger, mine with the sharp cheddar it comes with, my wife sans cheese. 100% Wagyu beef, and cooked very nicely at medium. The bun was large and soft, very tasty and great texture. The fries were delicious; crispy and well seasoned, just great. They have a fry sauce that tasted like it had a bit of horseradish. I really liked it. Prices are very reasonable. In fact, I just had a burger at a nice restaurant in downtown Boise last week that had a smaller patty and bun, and cost $3 more. We will definitely be back to Holy Cow.

Burgers were messy, but like the old commercial- "if it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face." Everything was fresh, and tasted as it should. I wish this place was closer to the new D&B and Home Depot as I think it would probably busier and get the attention it actually deserves. We will come back when we find ourselves on that aside of town.

The place was pretty empty when we went in, much to my surprise. It worked to our advantage as we received a friendly and quick ordering experience. Food came out only a few minutes after. Hubby and I both ordered a double deluxe smash burger with a side of fries and smash tots. I'm so bummed I forgot to order loaded tots. I have to admit, after our first bite, both hubby and I looked at each other and simultaneously said, "Wow!". The burgers were juicy (so much so, juice dripped down my hand and chin), piping hot, with super melty cheese, crisp lettuce, a plump tomato and a perfect spread of mayo. The smash tots and fries were seasoned correctly and crispy without being over fried. Service was prompt, the place was clean (even the bathroom was spotless and stocked) and we even heard a genuine "thank you for coming" when we left. We look forward to going back!
