    German meatball sub

    The German meatball sub is UNREAL. Do not skip this if it sounds a little out of your comfort zone. Had it a few days ago and still dreaming about it. This truck is putting out dynamite food.

    Cheese Curds
    Lindsay D.

    I'll preface this review by saying it is based on one Uber Eats order. I usually try to visit a restaurant a couple of times in person to get a better perspective on food and service. I had a beer and bacon burger, fries, and a side order of cheese curds. It arrived quickly and was hot. However, everything was extremely salty and soggy with oil. The burger seemed decent, as far as it was thick, it had a nice gourmet bun, and the toppings were tasty. But it was hard to taste the good part through the overpowering salt and grease. The cheese curds looked yummy, but weren't anything special. Again, lots of salt and grease. And that's too bad, because cheese curds done right are delicious. My meal was $34 on Uber Eats (BEFORE tip) which was also undesirable for a greasy burger and fries and a smallish side order of cheese curds. Overall, I can see where this restaurant is trying to go with offering upscale burgers. It just fell flat in execution.

    BBQ rub chicken wings
    Rhianon K.

    My significant other and I chose this spot for a late lunch. It was nice and quiet which was great, we like our mid week quiet meals. So for starters we ordered the beef jerky (decent) And an order of chicken wings with "bbq rub" The wings were beyond dried out, and the rub was literally a ton of chili powder. I ordered the fish and chips, which was alright. Not that great but not bad either. Their fries also were chili powder seasoned. He got the smoked bacon cheeseburger. Not bad, but not spectacular. Over all.. won't go back, not worth the price for ok food. But we're always happy to try new spots.

    French dip....well it heaven

    Great find! Delicious food from a food truck tucked away in downtown boise. Also, not pictured are the egg roll jalapeño poppers! Those are freaking out of this world!

    BBQ Wings

    I really wanted to like this place but my BBQ wings were so so dry. It seemed like I got the dry rub too and not BBQ because I couldn't even tell there was any sauce on them. I got the jalapeño popper egg rolls too which was pretty much straight cream cheese with some diced up jalapeños deep fried. The dipping sauce for them was good though.

    turkey bacon wrap OMFG
    Stephanie Í.

    We ordered through grub hub, and unfortunately our food wasn't ready on time. When we got home to eat it, we were pleasantly surprised - fresh, and delicious !!!!!! Worth the wait.

Today we got the sausage and pear sandwich which is a little on the sweeter side, and the Peruvian, which is more on the savory side. Both sandwiches were delicious!

It was pretty good but not like any banh mi I've had at all. No pickled veggies and the sandwich bread was a far cry from a banh mi baguette. Great bread though! I just thought the name was very misleading and it would've been better to just call it a massaman curry sandwich. I really liked the spiced yam slices, but I felt like the peanut butter almost overpowered the yam sometimes. Could've been lighter on the PB. I ordered the combo meal which was supposed to be a 1/2 sandwich plus a side. If the sandwich portion I got was only a half, then the full size must be huge. I kind of suspect I got a full sandwich. I had the beet salad for my side. It was tasty and fresh, and also pretty sizeable. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The wait time for food was reasonable given that they seemed busy. The loft seating was nice.

He was very informative about where to go and places to check out in Boise. I ordered one of the local beers and their flagship meal, the Santa Maria Tri Tip Sandwich. As you can see by looking at the photos, the tri-tip was cooked to perfection. It had tomatoes, poblano, and chimichurri sauce on it to add to the flavors of the tri-tip. The bread consistency was great, not too soggy, and with a great crispy texture. I wish they had spread the tri-tip out more to make sure every bite was being celebrated. I also ordered the mac and cheese as the side per the instructions of the bartender, James. Let me say that was one of the best mac and cheeses that I have ever had. Truly amazing creamy texture and full of rich flavor. Everything melted in your mouth. Definitely worth it. I eventually ended up talking to a fellow bar sitter, and he ended up being the co-owner of the place, TJ. He also filled me in on the places to go and, most definitely, the places to travel to, to experience great beer. He was refreshing to talk to since most people don't have the passion for beer that we both represent. I would highly recommend this place for the staff that is there the solid pub style restaurant that they have created. Super easy and relaxed kinda of place.

From the moment I…read morewalked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and upbeat, with friendly staff who clearly take pride in what they do. The burger itself was outstanding--perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the toppings were balanced just right without overwhelming the burger. Even the bun was soft yet held everything together perfectly, which is something a lot of places overlook. What really stood out was the attention to detail across the whole meal. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and everything came out hot and fresh without a long wait. It's clear this place cares about consistency and customer experience. Whether you're just stopping in for a quick bite or looking for a go-to burger spot, this place absolutely delivers. We will definitely be coming back again and recommending it to anyone who appreciates a truly great burger. Location is fun with other restaurants nearby. Must visit!

I got the classic burger, and sweet potato waffle fries. The smash burger was good, but the fries were the best part. Crispy on the outside with sweet potato sweetness on the inside. My kid on the other hand didn't like his chicken tenders, which is just a chicken sandwich patty sliced up. I ate a chicken strip and could see why he didn't like them, they're lacking the breading all the way around, but they weren't bad. The service is top notch, the guy calling out the orders came to our table to differentiate each burger. The place gets busy but they handle the crowds well and move the line quickly. Overall it was a pretty good experience. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

I came here for a late lunch around 2 pm after arriving in Boise. They weren't crowded at this point but business wasn't dead either. My waitress was very friendly. Inside has a lived-in, intimate feel, but it was pretty dark, so much that I wasn't sure they were actually open as I was opening the door. I had the French dip sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious and tasted homemade in the best way. The "meat" of the sandwich was seitan. I don't THINK it was a perfect meat replica (but I've never had a real French dip), but it was very flavourful. I loved the flavour and the thick cut of their bread, but it didn't have much structure and fell apart easily as I was eating which made the sandwich very messy. The tomato basil soup was a little different. It was slightly creamy but brothy and a little chunky - not a smooth puree. Again, it tasted great and was nice and light, which was a good contrast to the very rich sandwich. It was a little slow, especially considering they weren't that busy. I didn't really mind since I wasn't on a schedule, but this is something to be aware of - don't come here for a quick meal. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality.

If I lived nearby, I would come back and give another try.
