You've got a returning customer, my friend. Had the platter this time. Your staff were friendly and fast. The food was outstanding. This time we were given a new mustardy sauce that wasn't present last time. It's my favorite - I hope you keep it! read more

Neighbor Tim's BBQ - 3 meat platter: ribs, brisket, chicken, beans and potato salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Was so excited to try this place. The potato salad was really good. The brisket however was super disappointing being thick cut and half of it being fat and really chewy. The ribs were good and so were the sauces on the side. I would definitely not choose the brisket again but would maybe try other items. read more

Neighbor Tim's BBQ - 2 Meat & 1 Side - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I was craving some yeehaw bbq, and came across this place. I Chose to go here because it's only 6-7min away from where I live, and the reviews looked great. I got the 3 meats, 2 sides: brisket, pulled pork, ribs, Mac & cheese, baked beans with brisket I loved their brisket, and pulled pork. Soft, tender, juicy, well seasoned. The ribs in the other hand was too dry, and bland. The only to make it flavorful was to dip it in their sauces. Mac & cheese was good & so as the beans (although I thought they were a bit too sweet) Definitely don't mind coming back here again for their brisket & pulled pork though! And I might just try their other options on the menu! read more

We were craving some BBQ so we did some research online and found this place! One cool thing about this restaurant is that it's a drive thru bbq. We ordered at a drive thru and it took them less than 10 minutes to make our food. The staff were super nice and ambiance felt like a modern bbq joint. We got the half pound of brisket, half pound of pulled pork, half rack of pork ribs, Mac n cheese, beans with brisket and we also got pickled onions and pickle. The food was great. I really liked their Mac n cheese as well as brisket. The sauces they provided us with were also great. The ribs were on the dry side but we added some sauce to it which helped add moisture to it. It's a great place for some bbq! read more

One of the worst BBQ sandwiches ever. Dry, tasteless. Ate some and tossed it away. I grew up eating BBQ in the South. Won't be trying anything else here. read more

Overall experience: 3.8 In Boise again to watch our daughter play in a Volleyball tournament. After day 1, her team decided to head towards The Warehouse Food Hall, so we tagged along and wife wanted bbq, so Neighbor Tim's BBQ. Ordered the three meat plate with 2 sides: Brisket x2 and Pulled Pork with potato salad and baked bean; OH I added two buns which I thought (at least one) came with the plate. Food served like cafeteria style, they push your food tray down until you pay. So it didn't take long to get our food. After finding a table the brisket looked dry, but the pulled pork was dripping moist (it's great by itself but their sweet sauce enhances the flavor of the pork)! The beans and potato salad was good but really nothing special. I ended taking the brisket back to the hotel with one bun hoping it would taste better in the morning. And it was! With a little help from the microwave (released the juices) and toasting the bun, I had a delicious brisket sandwich for breakfast! FYI: This what increased my overall experience. If we're going back to the Warehouse, it won't be for the bbq. read more

Neighbor Tim's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Best bbq outside of Texas. Loved them so much I had to have them at my wedding. Tim the owner is a great guy too.

Very disappointed. I ordered the advertised family meal expecting enough food to actually feed a family. Unfortunately, the portions for the sides were shockingly small. When I asked about it, the employee told me they "weigh everything out." Once I got home, I weighed the sides myself, and as I suspected, they were under what was advertised. For a place that promotes family meals, this was really disappointing. The value just isn't there when you pay for a family-sized portion but receive containers that are barely enough for one person. Transparency and fairness matter, and this experience left me feeling misled. read more

Good first experience at Neighbor Tim's using the drive through. I mentioned that I hadn't eaten yet today, and Chris hooked me up with a nice sample of smoked turkey slices. So nice! I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich with all the fixings. I added my own barbecue sauce when I got home and it was delicious. read more

Neighbor Tim's BBQ - Smoked turkey sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I was so excited to try takeout from Neighbor Tim's BBQ and really wanted to love this place based on the great Yelp reviews. The location is cute and the crew is absolutely outstanding. They are friendly and definitely go the extra mile. Seriously, they are the best customer service I've seen in a long time (5 star service). Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the ribs because they were super dry (2 star). The various sauces were tasty, but they couldn't compensate for the dry meat. The potato salad with the burnt ends was the best item even with the distinct vinegar flavor. The coleslaw was average at best. The lemon bar was super sweet and didn't really have much of a lemon flavor. I really hope I just ordered from them on an off day. The crew was kind enough to tell me to always order directly with them by calling their phone number or going directly to their website www.neighbortimsbbq.com read more

Now my family is mostly from the south and I got to say neighbor Tim's Barbecue is Top Notch for the Boise area. If you love barbecues and love to eat this is a place to go. After getting back from overseas I'm home now and I got to say it's time to see what Boise has to offer. I have so missed it to the point to where I'm back to the Boise area. read more

This is the best BBQ I have ever had. From the ribs to the brisquet to all the sides they offer this is definitely my go to place from now on!!! So tender and moist, not dry at all. The very best, we will be back !!! read more

I had the chopped brisket sandwich, burnt ends, and potato salad. Everything was full of flavor and the meat was smoked to perfection. The brisket was tender, the burnt ends had the perfect bark, and the potato salad was fresh. The staff was super friendly, and I got to meet the owner, Tim. He was very welcoming and clearly passionate about his barbecue spot. Great BBQ place--I'll definitely be back! read more

Neighbor Tim's BBQ did an amazing job catering our (Bogus Basin Ski Patrol) banquet! The Texas Brisket was amazing, crowd favorite! The Carolina Pulled Pork, tender and juicy! Our sides, Mac n Cheese, Baked, Beans, and Coleslaw rounded out the perfect meal for 80 hungry patrollers ending the season on a high note! Tim was so great to work with; responsive with follow ups, available to answer questions, delivery and set up!

Finally stopped by after years of wanting to try. Brisket sandwich with side of beans and bottle of tea. Brisket was tasty but dry. Sauces didn't help. Roll was a disaster, simply way too dry. Beans were ok, but underwhelming. I usually prefer pulled pork so I'll give em another shot one day. Maybe the ribs, but certainly did not meet 4.5 star rating this time. read more

Simply the best. Great food, great owner, great crew. I've been here quite a few times and even had Tim cater our thanksgiving last year. I try something different every time and have never been disappointed. Support local business and go here. read more

Great authentic bbq and probably the best you'll find in Boise! My husband admired their excellent smoke ring on the brisket. Very friendly staff and nice outside seating area. They mentioned they might stop selling beef ribs due to lack of popularity, so everyone go get some so they can stay on the menu!! Weekends only! read more

Absolutely greedy portions on their part, tasted like they are very greedy on the seasonings as well while simultaneously forgetting it all on the pit for too long. I was sincerely hoping for a bbq place that stood a chance in the valley. Sadly again I was disappointed. read more

Delicious! Pricy but super worth it ! Potato salad is my favorite! Also the sausage and brisket! I have yet to try the ribs.

After reading all the amazing reviews about this place, I must say we were pretty disappointed with our experience. The food was just ok, but the service was great! Food: 3/5. We got the 3 meat & 2 sides platter with German Sausage, Brisket, Ribs, coleslaw, and potato salad with brisket bits. The sausage was by far my favorite item. The mustards with the sausage was pretty good. The brisket was pretty dry, fairly fatty and pretty bland. The ribs (which I was looking forward to the most) had barely any meat and was also bland. I did enjoy that it came with several sauces to choose from but I wish the ribs had a sauce already on them. The sides were both good, not great. Service: 5/5. The young man that took our order was very nice and we got our food pretty quickly. Atmosphere: 4/5. It is all outdoor seating, which was nice but also not great for stormy/windy days. The street is also fairly busy. It's a cute little setup. Kid friendly: 4/5. They do have a kids menu and it is nice being outside so you don't feel as bad when your kid makes a mess. I don't believe they provide high chairs but there is enough room for a stroller if needed. Disappointed our experience did not meet our expectations from everything we've read/heard but are willing to give this place another try. read more

Neighbor Tim's was the best!!! I was ruined for BBQ. Tired of overpriced, terrible food and crappy service..... that was until we finally caved and tried Neighbor Tim's BBQ that was the absolute BEST BBQ I've ever had. Thank you! Grateful to have a fantastic place to enjoy all those flavors and a great takeout dinning experience read more

As someone from the south, this was a disgrace. brisket was cold and lackluster. bun was cold. Carolina gold was average.

This is, more or less, a drive through, although there are 4 bench tables you can sit at under a metal canopy. The problem are the flies when there is no wind. And when there is wind, hold on to your napkins. I was at their downtown location that is in a food court. The food there was good enough to draw me here today. It's not as good as the brisket here was fatty but not so bad that I'd give a lower rating than downtown. This place caters to local students as they offer discounts to them. All in all the downtown location is my preference. read more

Some of the best BBQ not just in Boise but in America and I've lived in every part of the country! Perfectly cooked, succulent Brisket that almost melted in the mouth it was so tender and moist and Potato Salad with Brisket chunks that was unmatched. Shaded outdoor seating and good prices on nearly perfect food! Make sure to stop by! read more

First time eating here. I drive by here all the time and finally decided to give them a try. The customer service is friendly, it was a slow time it was about 30 minutes before closing time. I orde the pull pork sandwich and coleslaw and a bottle coke for a total of under $13 bucks not bad for sandwich. The sandwich was good I wasn't to crazy about the BBQ sauce but overall it was not bad. read more

This place is really good! I've been going every week all summer and never been disappointed. The ribs are great, but the brisket is my favorite, and the beans with the brisket bits are over the top! Thanks for being there guys, I'll keep coming! read more

The first time I went there was okay but just okay . But I give everybody a second chance and the second time I went was better I got to admit . But the pork was so fatty the sandwich was so small that the bread was saturated Grease . So bring a fork . The brisket seem to be okay but I had it and a brisket sandwich was decent . I noticed they had nachos so I tried to brisket nachos big mistake . If you take a big block of salt and just lick it like a salt lick that's what it tasted like . I believe they salted chips and a salted cheese and then they started the and then a salted everything on top of that . Do not call and complain he takes these things personally like your attack at him . Like he's the barbecue King and you just slapped him . Well I tell you what he is definitely not the barbecue King he's not the best barbecue in town by far. On a scale of 1 to 10 he's about a four . Read the bad reviews first and give you a pretty good idea of which to expect when you get there . I've noticed is help is very nice but they don't last long so I bet Tim is hard to work for. This will definitely be my last time at barbecue at Tim's . He is not worth a drive even if you just have to cross the street . He gets mad at you when you complain does not take the start of criticism well at all do you think she knows everything about barbecue . He does not . Try the place in Garden City is better . The moral of the story is don't eat there read more

The word neighbor invokes all sorts of comfortable feelings, traits and memories. It's about being considerate, caring, thoughtful, helpful and genuine. All of these traits and feelings can be found at Neighbor Tim's BBQ. I've had Neighbor Tim's on my radar for awhile buts it's tricky when you're a not meat eater and you have few friends ans family that like BBQ. Weird right ? As chance would have it, my brother was going to be in town and I missed taking him when he visited with his family earlier in the year. With him and my daughter in tow, we made it to Neighbor Tim's with about 30 minutes before closing. My brother was already showing signs of drool has he reviewed the menu ans then he spoke the to who I like to think was NTBBQ Queen, Mrs Neighbor Tim. My brother knew what to order and then ordered it with all sorts of smokehouse knowledge. He and my daughter ordered ribs, brisket and pulled pork plus sides of coleslaw and macaroni and cheese I consider my brother who smokes his own meat an expert in all things smoked and BBQ. He's been to legit places in Carolina, St Louis, and Texas. He knows BBQ and when the order arrived, he had starry eyes. He went fork deep into the brisket and closed his eyes, then chewed, stopped, reflected, and took a breathe then continued to chew. The ' Ah man, this is legit ' was as good as it gets from a proclaimed BBQ expert. He then went after the ribs followed by a deep dive into the pickles and the pickled red onions. My daughter sank her fork into the wet and deep Macaroni and cheese. It was definitely had a homemade and handcrafted look but there was no denying that the macaroni were tiny islands in a sea of yellow cheese sauce that was thick and saucy. Between the both of them, they obliterated the meat plates and most of the sides. One of the cooler things that I noticed was that the platters were not the typical metal cookie trays that is often seen in lunch and BBQ places. These trays were made of recycled paper formed into a tray. Really neat Neighbor Tim's has a few picnic tables and also has a drive through lane or two. If you're looking for BBQ done right and want to experience it from your next door neighbor on a Saturday afternoon, then Neighbor Tim's is your neighbor right around the corner. One could say, that Tim is your friendly neighborhood BBQ guy. Be a good neighbor and visit Neighbor Tim's soon. read more

The ribs and brisket are the best in Boise! I go there once a week!! Ribs are tender and tasty!

All the good stuff said about owner Tim Goebel's business for the great food and delightful service holds true across umpteen take outs from Neighbor Tim's location on Goddard since my first comments in September 2021, not long after Neighbor Tim's opened. But more good stuff discoveries in the interim since my first comments to now. I'll start with a selfish one: GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS ABOUND: Now that I find myself in the medical professional suggested "no gluten for you" mode, I just learned that all of Neighbor Tim's offerings but the mac n cheese and bread for sandwiches are gluten free. Hooray! And thanks to the always helpful folks inside the kiosk at Goddard, at my visit last one the man on duty was particularly helpful and was able to read the label on the nacho cheese sauce, I was craving taking home the deconstructed nachos, was also gluten free. (Tim's is a scratch kitchen and it may be the nacho sauce, bread and the pasta they use for making the scratch mac n cheese are the only processed in advance products.) I will grieve not being able to order a side of mac n cheese anymore, but boy, howdy, there are so many other great options here. PS - remember to ask for a side of Tim's Original BBQ sauce to go with the deconstructed nachos. I forgot this time. Now more good news stuff: ANOTHER STORE: Neighbor Tim's has been deservedly super well received, not only for the food at this kiosk for take out but for catering too, and last August Tim also made the leap to open a location inside The Warehouse food hall in downtown Boise. There are times when there may be something special offered only The Warehouse location, like a stuffed baked potato which I hope is going to make its' way to being offered at Goddard too. https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-warehouse-food-hall-boise?osq=the+warehouse HOLIDAY TAKE AWAY: Tim has started offering turkey breast as an option on Thursdays and this year he is going to offer turkey and other items for take out to use on Thanksgiving. See the website for info on advance orders and pick up on Wednesday, the 23rd. THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS: In addition to opening the second store in August, Tim and his wife celebrated in that same month the birth of their fourth child, which makes them mom and dad to four adorable little ones all six years old and under I think. Talk about having one's hands full and yet managing to do all so well. Brava and bravo to them! And the reason Neighbor Tim's is closed on Mondays, open the other six days, is because that is a day set aside for Tim to spend with his children. Talk about priorities in the right place! read more

So we were on vacation in Idaho when I came across this gem on yelp and decided to try it out. I guess I picked the best day to go cause Tim himself was working at this location. What an amazing place the food was to die for delicious. And Tim so personable so inviting and this is a walk up stand for barbecue open arms with an amazing human being. We love the food we loved him and every time we go to Idaho, we will make it a point to visit. I also would like to try his two other locations and his two other businesses because if he can make killer barbecue sure you can make a killer burger and fries as well. read more

Wow, what a cute place. Tried it for the first time today. Will definitely be back. I had a pulled pork sandwich and only ate half. Lots of tender flavorful meat. Sauces are on the side and I tried all of them. Very good. Also got homemade potato salad. Very good, was not sickly sweet like most. My sister got the two meat platter with brisket and ribs. Oh my, the char was wonderful, and the Mac and cheese, yum. Definitely a winner. Thanks Tim. read more
