First time trying R&R bbq and we were amazed how inexpensive it was with the amount of food we got! Food was delicious, and the staff were nice! Definitely loved their brisket and their loaded baked potato was deliciously amazing! Their fired pickle added such a nice contrast and balance at the same time to all the meat we were having! I'd say though, the ribs were on the drier side, I'd love to have a juicy ribs, but sadly this one did not deliver.. Overall experience was great, definitely would like to give it a 2nd try for their ribs.. hopefully next time I get a better batch? But I am definitely getting their brisket and pulled pork for sure, and will be trying out their chicken too! read more

I didn't have high expectations for this restaurant. My taste really rests in places with plates and silverware instead of the disposable self serve style of this place. But I have to say that the ribs were the tenderest and most flavorful I can remember having. I asked for lean brisket and it was seasoned perfectly with just a hint of fat on the side. The coke slaw was lovely. All of the staff were young and eager to please. Can't wait to bring my ribs-loving husband here. read more

Been to this place twice now and I really like it! I got the two meat plate twice and tried different things and literally everything tasted great. My co-workers also loved the nachos and kids sliders and their fried pickles were amazing! read more

I was in Boise visiting my brother (go Broncos!), and my mom stops by R&R BBQ every time she comes up here. We went about an hour before closing, and I was very impressed with how quickly our food was ready. The person at the front was very nice and answered all our questions. I wasn't in the mood for BBQ, so I ordered their buffalo wings. I also tried their mac and cheese which I unfortunately felt it lacked flavor, it was very bland. The wings however were great. My sister had an order of their brisket nachos that tasted very good. When I come back I'll have to try their BBQ. My mom had brisket and a few other meats that looked very good. She also raves about one of their sauces, she says its the perfect amount of sweetness and smokey. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu. read more

R&R BBQ - Nachos - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This is the worst barbecue I've ever had. I couldn't even cut the brisket with my plastic knife. I have never had turkey or brisket that was this dry. The owner should come to Arizona to try real barbecue at Eric's Family BBQ or Rudy's Country BBQ. read more

R&R BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

For true barbecue enthusiasts, I can't recommend this place. Brisket too dry to eat is a major red flag. Honestly, the pulled pork in both of our meals was pretty good. But the sauces on the table were just off. And the sides weren't great. My fried pickles were so salty I couldn't eat them (and I love me some salt!). And my hubby's garlic mashed potatoes had absolutely no garlic flavor. The gravy was ok though. And we ordered beers. By the time we were finished with our food we still didn't have beers. Apparently the draft lines were not working (which they only figured out after we placed our order) and they spent the entire time we were there trying to get them working. They did offer us their canned cocktails and canned beer, but we had already finished our food and just wanted to leave. I now question a BBQ joint that is on the 2nd floor of a downtown parking garage. Really, where are they truly "smoking" their meats?? Won't be back and wouldn't recommend. read more

R&R BBQ - $40 bucks for 2 and we had a 3 meat platter with brisket! - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Great food and at a great location. R&R delivers wonderful bbq. One of our favorite bbq places in town.

You can literally smell this place from blocks away! Smells amazinnng! Tons of options. Had a hard time choosing. Ended up going with the recommendation of the cashier. Potion was huge! Definitely filled me up! I will say, the brisket was pretty tough. The bbq sauce helped although the sauce was super sweet! Next time I'd opt for sauce on the side. read more

We did a DoorDash order for their brisket nachos and I gotta say the nachos were delicious. Plenty of brisket on it plus sour cream and tomatoes and nice crunchy, salty tortilla chips. The queso sauce was delicious and I appreciate that they didn't put them on the chips because that would make it soggy by the time it was delivered to us. read more

Very solid food and service and an informal ambiance that I enjoyed. I was most impressed by the brisket, however the pork was juicy and delicious as well. The staff was also friendly and were flexible when I made a last minute switch to a side in my order that they had every reason not to accommodate me but they did anyways. read more

Solid BBQ with extra taste in downtown Boise. Love the souce option and clean environment. Over all great place to visit.

The gentleman who greeted us and took our order was so incredibly kind and helpful; he even told us about the special of the day, which was fantastic! Such delicious food and it was very reasonably priced! Good music was playing and the atmosphere was nice and warm! I'll for sure be telling people about this place! Thank you!!! read more

My initial complaint was regarding the brisket they put on their baked potato and it should've been the chopped brisket not the extremely fatty pieces they put on. The owner contacted me to clarify what brisket and chopped brisket are which, OK sure, maybe I have no idea what the difference is because I was born yesterday. Except I wasn't and I've ordered that dish multiple times from them and the quality has suffered. The last two times I purchased from them it was terrible the first several times it was excellent. Blaming the lack of quality of a dish on a customers misunderstanding of what they're ordering is poor taste. read more

R&R BBQ - That's a lot of fat and a third of the meat on the brisket baked potato. - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This place is very mediocre. The food isn't bad, but it isn't great. It does the job that you want it to do. The ribs are dry rub and were pretty decent. The brisket was tender. The turkey was just turkey. Didn't taste smoked at all. The hush puppies were very plain tasting. They needed something to add flavor to them. Butter, BBQ sauce. Something. The Mac and cheese was absolutely horrible. Had absolutely no seasons to it. It needed at a minimum salt and pepper. The cheese itself was dry and the cheese on top was just dry also. Not a good crunch. The spicy bbq sauce had a nice little kick to it. The sweet tea was actually really good. Would I eat here again? Maybe. It wouldn't be something that I'd recommend to the group. read more

Just passing through and saw the sign for this bbq place that states fast service. So up the stairs I went. Plenty to order from a wide menu. Service was VERY fast ! Food was very good. I had a pulled pork sandwich which tasty and juicy. The side of Mac n cheese was some of the best I ever had anywhere, and that's saying a lot cuz I love a good Mac n cheese. This place gets 5 stars for me, food couldn't be beat. The clenched was the giant country double sink against the back wall which made cleaning off that great BBQ sauce easy. Great place. read more

This BBQ place used to be good. My last 3 delivered orders were way below par - ribs were small and little meat on them. I am so disappointed that I will never order from them again and I DO NOT recommend them. read more

I always say the best part of BBQ is the sides - and this photo is the epitome of that! We got here about 45 min before close and not only was the staff friendly as ever, the food was still fresh and fantastic! Brisket: small chunks, you can order moist or not and I ordered moist and it was just that! Great flavor and very tender. Pulled Pork: not too bad, pretty moist and good peppery flavor. Preferred the brisket to this Mac & cheese was simple, but good. The noodles were firm and cheese was great. Fries: great - a crisp beeer battered type fry that was great Baked beans and cole slaw were both fantastic! read more

R&R BBQ - 2 meat - brisket (moist) and pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Born and raised in Greensboro, NC! when i say that this extremely overpriced food has ZERO Carolina Flare, the hushpuppies were bunt hard as dirt and had jalapeño i don't know why! The carolina bbq sauce is what drew me in and offended me the most. Never should they be SPICEY! The chicken *chunks* were pure fat and not good at all. The pork w salt added was fine, as was the brisket. The iced tea was the star of that nearly $30 dinner for ONE! sadly, the restaurant was completely empty at 6 pm, and now I see why. Typing the word Carolina and pulling it off are totally different things! read more

Very good chicken wings and beer brisket was good not very fatty but was very good would recommend to anyone

Boise downtown used to have more quick bite spots to grab lunch. Those were the halcyon days of six dollar burritos as big as your arm. With the arrival of R&R, I feel those days again (sorta). Smoked meats galore along with counter service and a hand washing station. They have a variety of sauces at each table. They have specials during the week. I like it all. What I like most is the Pineapple Pulled Pork sandwich. The last time I got that bit of tasty it was steaming hot. A dollop of coleslaw and some cheese complete the sandwich well. Add a side of the garlic mashed potatoes? Oh yes, lunch is complete and belly is full. Downtown? Give this place a go for sure. read more

Great ambiance. Wings were delicious. Great deal on 2 beers and wings. Service was friendly and fast, I completely recommend R and R!

Very good food and service, was visiting in Boise, Idaho and read reviews on this restaurant and was impressed.

I've been to R&R a few times and it's good. My complaint isn't with the restaurant per se, but about their marketing. Their local radio ads tout "nine-time champion" and "award-winning pitmasters". The problem is, I know the founders, Rod & Roger (thus R&R) and I have competed against them many times on the competition BBQ circuit. They typically beat me each time in every category, so they are indeed multiple-time champions. However, when has any of the current R&R "pitmasters" EVER won any award? If any has, I apologize.

R&R BBQ - Pulled pork, spicy andouille sausage, sliced brisket, hush puppies and mashed potatoes with gravy! - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I tried R&R on Saturday night through their restaurant week deal and felt it was hit and miss depending on the item Brisket was good, if a little tough, but nothing amazing. I'd skip it next time or for big brisket fans I'd suggest a fattier cut. Pulled pork was SO GOOD super tender and smoky Both the Carolina and original bbq sauces were great too! A little tiny bit of heat to them. My husband said the mashed potatoes were good as well The fried pickles were salty so I couldn't finish them even though part of me wanted to. There was a good flavor underneath but hard to taste with all the salt. Hush puppies were okay but I've definitely had better. I'd be curious to try their rolls to see if it's a better option. However, we got r&r as takeout and feel like the hush puppies would be better eaten right away. The deal also included dessert. We got peach cobblers which were pretty good but nothing outstanding . The bread isn't crumbles though it's soaked in the brown sugar and peach juice so still good. Service was fast and friendly here as well read more

Love the food and the service! Everytime I come here to eat I am always greeted by a friendly face and the food is always great!

Just Ok BBQ, downtown location not the best, brisket is very dry and ribs tend to be overcooked. Furthermore, location does not validate parking in the same parking deck that they are located in. Not really worth the effort for this BBQ. read more

Amazing food!! Loved everything I had. Brisket, pulled pork, and chicken was excellent.

The food was delicious. Everything we ordered was very good and came out hot. We also tried the dessert as well and the peach cobbler was good as well as the banana pudding. The service was good you sit anywhere and they bring your food to the table. The restaurant was very clean and not over packed which is always nice . read more

I enjoyed my visit to R & R BBQ. We went for a late dinner and the staff was welcoming and kind. I loved that they had a hand wash station that was easily accessible! The sides speak for themselves. ABSOLUTELY DELISH. I would honestly come just for the sides but the pulled pork was equally filling. I would recommend stopping by for your next lunch or dinner. read more

Got a catered set up (carry out and self serve) from here for my birthday. Between here and Goodwood I never go wrong, but choose depending on location really. This year we had something closer to downtown so I went with R&R and it was on par with the quality I normally get there. The value is solid too. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again or recommend to friends and family for any BBQ event read more

First time here. I started with a 2 meat plate (the lady working the register encouraged it when I was originally going for a pulled pork sandwich and a side of brisket. The brisket was a little dry for my liking, and the pulled pork was soft and tender but slightly cold. I was given cold rolls (seems as if it was just pulled out of the wall out fridge). The fried pickles were tasty, not sure if was pre-made or made at the place. However, the hush puppies stole the show. I enjoyed every bite. Going to give this place 3/5 stars because of the nice staff, cleanliness, and delicious hush puppies. I hope they can develop a better Carolina mustard bbq sauce as theirs is a big too vinegary for my liking. Hope this helps. I'll be back though. Was really craving brisket to only be disappointed as it is a bbq restaurant. read more

R&R BBQ - Pulled pork, fried pickles, hush puppies. - Barbeque Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Clean restaurant. Central location downtown just off of 8th street. But upstairs so you have to take an escalator, the elevator or park in the attached parking garage. (Next to Tupelo Honey). Very friendly staff. We really enjoy the bbq foods especially the chicken and smoked brisket. Free parking in the garage attached for the first hour. However, if you go over that time at all it becomes $3+. Just an FYI. With carryout you will be fine. 2 clean unisex restrooms. A hand washing station in case you are messy and don't need to use the full restroom. Join the app and get a free pulled pork nachos worth $10.49+ tax. They also have an offer going on for $9.99 pulled pork or smoked chicken nachos and a draft beer! My gf and I really like this place and hope it succeeds. It's a good addition to our town. read more

Great place. Easy to find, sort of. It's at the top of an escalator from the street, but from inside the parking garage it is on the 2nd floor. Great fries. All you can drink soda. Sauces were good. Original, spicy and sweet were the best. I had the pineapple pork. I really liked the washing sink in the restaurant to clean your hands before and after your meal. I would definitely go back. Thank you. read more

How can I start, Let's start with the Good, the Bad and the awful. I ordered the 3 meat plate, brisket, pulled pork and chicken, side of hush puppies and a sweet tea to go. The sweet tea was GOOD, let's move on to the bad, pulled pork was OK but for $25 I was hoping for better than OK. The Carolina sauce was not Carolina sauce, Carolina BBQ sauce is Vinger based and almost clear, this was thick and dark almost like store bought BBQ sauce, and the spice was over the top, totally missed the mark on the Carolina BBQ sauce. The brisket was DRY, DRY, DRY and over cooked, not sure how you over cook smoked brisket, they did it, no flavor hard to chew. I tossed the brisket, it just wasn't good. I would like to give a review of the chicken, but that didn't make it to my order, probably would have been just as disappointing as the rest of meal, maybe I should be thankful I wasn't subject to the chicken. Now the Awful, the hush puppies, so hard it took effort to break them in half. so dense you could have used them as weapons. so dry and over cooked and just tasted like jalapenos, why do people insist on adding peppers to hush puppies, good hush puppies stand on their own. This was such a disappointment Boise suffers from lack of good BBQ, this was a horrible experience, and it may be a while before trying another BBQ joint in Boise. read more
