It was Bunco night, so a friend and I decided to go out for dinner. The question was: where? We landed on the Stagecoach Inn in Garden City. Most people around Boise have driven by it or at least heard of it. If you've never eaten there, you're missing out on a unique experience. Yes, it was recently sold by the longtime owners, but honestly, I couldn't tell much difference from previous visits. Walking through the door feels like stepping back in time. We arrived on a Wednesday evening when it was still fairly quiet, but within an hour the place had filled up nicely. We grabbed a booth and spent some time soaking in all the vintage Western decor. It's pure 1960s steakhouse charm, and that's a big part of the appeal. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from an old-school steakhouse, right down to the laminated plastic pages. You'll find all the classics: porterhouse, ribeye, sirloin, and prime rib. We started with Old Fashioneds. They were generously poured and tasted good, although I would have preferred a large ice cube instead of the small cubes that melted pretty quickly. Both of us ordered the included salads. Honestly, they're nothing special. Think bagged lettuce, oversized croutons, dressing on the side, and individually wrapped saltines. Not exactly memorable, but somehow it fits the character of the place. My Great Aunt Millie would have approved. I ordered the prime rib, which came in at $49. Not cheap, but it includes your salad and choice of baked potato, fries, rice, or vegetables. The prime rib was excellent, tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The baked potato with butter and chives was also spot on. What makes Stagecoach work isn't just the food. It's the whole package: the quirky salad, the crackers, the nostalgic atmosphere, and a staff that may be a little rough around the edges but are genuinely friendly. It feels authentic rather than polished, and that's part of its charm. One final tip: if prawns are available, order them. They're one of the house specialties and well worth trying. Overall: Great prime rib, classic old-school steakhouse atmosphere, friendly service, and a dining experience that feels like a trip back in time. I'll definitely be back. read more

A MUST! Best dining experience in Idaho, not only was our dining experience superb, the customer service we received was even better. A BIG thank you to JP our wonderful server for making us feel welcome, helping us with choosing and explaining items on the menu, his kindness was much appreciated. Steaks were perfectly prepared, highly recommend the onion rings and the sautéed mushrooms were out of this world amazing. Atmosphere was great and the music was fun and upbeat. If you're in Idaho, this place is an absolute MUST. #TreasureValleyIdaho #adacounty #outoftowners read more

We've passed by this place numerous times always intending on coming for dinner, well, we finally made it there tonight. I only wish we would have come here a long time ago, but we now have a favorite place. We are so happy that it was bought by people who truly care about the history of this place and the customers, as they have kept it in its original form and haven't changed the menu. It is rare to find people willing to buy a place likes this in order to keep it going. I hope they continue on as it is now and don't change a thing. The ambiance was quiet, and I would describe the decor as elegant Dutton Ranch style The staff were all friendly and the food was amazing! I had the prime rib (finally, a chef that knows what "rare" means and it was absolutley delicious. My husband had the Ribeye steak and it too was impressive and one of the best he's ever had. The sauted mushrooms were terrific and you "HAVE" to have the salad with their homemade Rouqefert dreassing. I haven't seen Rouqefert dressing in years and it is absolutely the best (of course this is the only place we've found that offers it). The drinks were good and especially the Prickly Pear Lemon Drop....so yummy! Even though the food was great, what truly made it a "dining experience" like we've only received a few other times (and we eat out a lot), was Jessica, our waitress. She was so nice and really on top of her game. She was not only attendtive but really paid attention to the smallest of details, e.g., when I dropped my napkin, she was right there with a new one. She is what all wait staff should be, and I think she could a school and train others. We have only had an "EXCELLENT" server a few times in our lives (and we're old), but she is one of the best we have ever had. Thank you Jessica for making our dinner a true memorable dining experience. This, on top of the excellent food quality, is why we will definitely be back. read more

I have lived in Boise for 30+ years and have never been to The Stagecoach. It's been here for ages, it honestly could be considered a historical sight. A classic that has lasted in our beautiful city for decades. I have wanted to try this joint out for a while. But, every time I had called to ask them a question, I'm was always turned off on how rude they are over the phone. The lady whom I spoke to twice, two separate occasions clearly needs to find another job that makes her happy. After much persuading, my husband convinced me to come here for dinner. The persuading was from me not wanting to come because of the response I got over the phone from the rude employee. It was getting late and we needed to head somewhere for our date night. So, I sucked it up and we headed to the Stagecoach for dinner. We were sat at a table by the host. It was a cool little corner. There were two more tables stacked side by side by us. We all shared a common bench. It's dark, romantic, crowded and hot with an old country vibe to it. It's a lot to absorb but I'm here for it. We were greeted by our server and got a soda started for my husband. For starters we got some shrimp cocktail. I was tempted to order some of their famous bar prawns but the shrimp cocktail won that battle. For dinner I got the ribeye and my husband got the bacon wrapped filet. Erica dropped off some fresh sourdough rolls. These bad boys were warm and fragrant. The golden wrapped pats of butter looked so pretty next to these warm rolls. I knew I was going to head into bread heaven. The outside is crispy, the inside was soft and chewy. These rolls were perfection, especially with a nice pat of butter in it. As much as I tried not to eat the last roll, it was too hard to control myself. Salad was dropped off for my husband. Shrimp cocktail came after. I always appreciate the presentation of an old school bulky glass cup for my shrimp cocktail. It just makes it that much more fun to eat. Ughhhh, the shrimp was so fresh. The cocktail sauce that came with it was made in house. I can tell by the way my sinuses cleared up with the amount of horseradish used to make it. It burned so good! Nothing turns me on more than beautiful grill marks on my ribeye. My ribeye looked beefy! The chef did a masterful job grilling it! I got two sides of veggies as my side. I was quite pleased to get two portions of mushrooms and asparagus. My plate looked fabulous! My husband's filet was beautifully grilled as well. Along side his filet was a cheese filled hearty potato. Yooooooo, my ribeye was grilled to perfection. Even though it was well done, it was so tender and juicy. It wasn't overly seasoned. I manhandled that ribeye. The asparagus had a great bite to it but wasn't undercooked. The mushrooms had a beautiful char on them but were overly salted. I ate them with my asparagus to cut some of the saltiness. They couldn't be eaten by themselves without having to drink water after. Dinner was fabulous tonight. I enjoyed a majority of it and I look forward to finishing it tomorrow. Erica, our server was so kind, attentive and careful. I told her about my restrictions and she was more than happy to make sure I was good. Jose was the chef who cooked my ribeye. He's a very young chef and he has his grill game on point. If he's cooking like this at his young age, I can't imagine what his cooking will be like in the future! Erica and Jose were the saving graces of my date night tonight. I honestly didn't want to come. But Erica and Jose made my experience that much more fantastic! They both came in clutch and I appreciate them so much for it. This totally could have been a 5 star visit, easily. I'm sad that it isn't cause of one person. If you want to dine here, just come in. Don't bother calling. You might miss a great ribeye if you end up talking to the hostess. read more

We were very disappointed in lunch today. The staff was good, the dining room and bar were well maintained and comfortable. We engaged other diners in conversation and found that they were long time customers with a number of them expressing their loyalty for decades. The fish and chips was not a good choice. The fish coating needed salt since it was so bland. It is thick, not light and smooth like a tempura coating. The potato things that came with the fish were some unidentified stuff. Both were left mostly uneaten. Both of us tried the dish and remain unimpressed. The Rueben bread was so browned, it was impossible to ascertain if it was marbled rye. It didn't taste like it. The meat was tough. How is a kitchen serving tough corned beef? What quality corned beef would be tough after being boiled? The onion rings had the same thick coating as the fish. Bland. For the elevated prices charged for these meals, we expected superior food, but got inferior instead. Better examples of both dishes are available at Gils K9 bar at a lower price. Former employees of the Stagecoach own and work there. The result is a much better menu for sandwiches and fish dishes. We might have investigated the steaks on the Stagecoach menu at some future but with this fail it won't happen. Apparently, the long term success of the place will depend on the current clientele who were born before 1945 who likes this food. We are out. read more

So glad I finally tried this place. I ordered the jumbo prawns and they are huge! I also got the shrimp Louie salad which was delicious! The prices are good and the service was excellent.

WARNING: Don't make the mistake I made. It could cost you $200. Last Thursday at about 4:20 p.m., I mistakenly turned into The Stagecoach Inn while heading east on Chinden to meet my wife at Bardenay. The lot was virtually empty, and rather than getting back onto busy Chinden, I made the decision to park at the rear of the Stagecoach lot and walk next door. That was my mistake, and I accept responsibility for it. When I returned, my vehicle had been booted. The Stagecoach sign clearly warns that violators can be booted or towed, but what it doesn't disclose is that removing the boot costs $200. I didn't learn the amount until after my vehicle had already been immobilized and I scanned the QR code on the window notice. That's the part that feels predatory to me. Warn people they will be booted, absolutely, but also tell them upfront that the consequence is a $200 boot-release charge. I like The Stagecoach and have been a customer in the past. I'm not asking them to stop protecting their private parking. I'm asking them to prominently post the $200 fee so people know the actual cost before making the same mistake I did. I'm sharing this so others don't make the same $200 mistake I did. read more

We've been here a few times. ALWAYS great customer service, ambiance and dishes! This past Valentines weekend, day after on Saturday, we were able to sit near the bar area due to how busy it was. We had the prime rib with lobster and a sirloin steak. The loaded potatoes were great too. Steaks cooked perfectly to order. One rare and other medium rare. The waiter was great. Excellent customer service with humor. During our conversation we suggested the dessert store in Star. He later said he's bringing the wife there after she reviewed in line. I bet they will be a regular customer just as we are here at this restaurant. Old school restaurant who has some decades, multiple generation regular customers. Highly recommend!! read more

Had a great experience at the stagecoach Inn! Not only does it have a very fun western vibe, but it also does feel very cozy with the leather boots and decorations. We got to sit in this little horseshoe booth that gives you a great view of the overall restaurant for people watching while also being cozy. We both got the prime rib sandwich, which was delicious, especially with the juice. Both the fries and the tater tots were delicious. It seemed like everybody in the restaurant was having a great time and the service of all of the servers was great. It's not a spot that you usually think about while driving by on Chinden. But it definitely makes me consider stopping by again with how great the food and experience was. read more

Jason seated us exactly to the minute he said he would. As a matter of fact with the numbers he was throwing out, the six parties in front of us as well. Parking was no problem. Erica served out food, perfectly cooked, and lovely to our eyes. As I bit into my delicious rib eye steak, Jason was walking by, smiled and nodded as he how good I was going to find it. Low light, over-stuffed leather booths and tables with wooded chairs this place is definitely worth the visit. read more

I love stopping in to the stagecoach inn for a snack and drink while visiting Boise! The ambiance is cozy and rustic. I love ordering the prawns and Caesar salad. They are both SO delicious! Highly recommend. Tyler behind the bar was especially kind and helpful and made a great drink. Love this place! read more

Unique nostalgic restaurant with mom-n-pop vibes. Dining experience was focused on great customer service and good simple food. My salad was one of the best house salads I've had and loved the homemade dressing. Steak was so fresh and didn't need to be fluffed with any sauces. The prawns could have had a little more flavor but were okay. Would recommend Stagecoach Inn as you don't get to eat simple good food often anymore with a decent price tag. read more

Really cool, old school vibe. You can tell this is a locals spot, and for good reason...they always know where the good, non commercial kitchen food is. Had the prime rib, damn good. Locals might not want this to get out there, but if your visiting I'd put this on your list. read more

Walking into The Stagecoach feels like stepping straight into a 60's western-it's more about the atmosphere and nostalgia than the steaks themselves, but that's part of the charm. The décor is wonderfully themed, and it really does feel like you're jumping back in time. While the steaks were decent, the real standout for me were the prawns-absolutely delicious and not to be missed. The cozy bar is another highlight, perfect for grabbing a drink and soaking up the old-west vibe. Service was excellent throughout our visit-friendly, attentive, and welcoming. If you're looking for a fun, western-themed night out with great service, a lively atmosphere, and some surprisingly memorable prawns, The Stagecoach is a Boise treasure and well worth a visit. read more

We've been going to Stagecoach for years but I saw poor reviews trending so I needed to revisit and get the facts. The series of recent 1-star reviews were nothing to do with the quality of the food or service. It was about parking. Huh? Stagecoach was cracked down on parking and will "boot" your car if you aren't a patron. We arrived Saturday at 4:45pm and there was already an hour wait. I asked if we could stay parked in the lot while we bided our time at Split Rail. Two employees confirmed that since we were checked in, we can remain in the lot. They were right. We got a call/text when our table was ready and I was hungry to enjoy my fav--"broasted" chicken. Love! Husband also had his usual, prime rib and shrimp. I didn't like my wine so our fab server swapped it for me without delay. And no dinner is complete at Stagecoach without the special chocolate cream pie with baked coconut on top. Yesss... read more

I heard about The Stagecoach Inn from a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast. The guest (MB) had glowing reviews of this place. I've driven by it on numerous occasions and never thought to stop by. Frankly, the building looks every bit of its 60+ years of existence. But don't let the looks fool you. This restaurant has tons of character and I regret judging this book by its delicious cover. There is ample parking in front and around the back. We were promptly seated by the host even though the restaurant was packed. My wife's meal, the Shrimpkin (broasted chicken and shrimp), came with two hot sourdough rolls and a salad. I couldn't help myself and snagged a roll. YUM! I had the Prime Rib dip, onion rings, and two pieces of their gigantic shrimp on the side. Trust me, you want at least two pieces of shrimp. They come with cocktail and tartar sauce. I inhaled them pretty quickly so you don't get a picture. We topped it off with a lemon cream pie and a banana cream pie. I'm stuffed! read more

Did not get a review written when we were there a couple of months ago. Sadly we live to far away now to go here as often as we would like. Our server was amazing food was off the charts and one of my favorite observations was when one of the cooks walked out of there kitchen he had a beard but was wearing a face net. Made me very happy where it's seems beards are the in thing now I see too many kitchen workers not wearing anything to cover there faces. We will definitely go back and eat there again. To all restaurants not requiring there staff to cover there beards. Shame on you. No one wants hair in there food. Great job Stagecoach inn read more

Went here for lunch yesterday since I heard it has ownership. It was good. Really liked before and im glad it's pretty the same that it's been forever. Neat bar and good food. Great service too read more

The sourdough roll was sooo tough (pretty sure it was microwaved) you dang near had to use both hands to take off a bite. Salad was obviously bagged and was not washed properly and not even a tomato. Was told you had to order tomato specifically. Prime rib was waaaay undercooked. Ordered medium got rare. Was told the "roaster" just does it that way. Potato was sooo cold it wouldn't even melt butter. Waitress was very busy chatting up what was obviously a bunch of her friends or relatives. This was our 50th anniversary dinner. So damned disappointing that we are going to go to Roadhouse to make up for it. read more

Been here a couple times and loved it. Just to have HORRIFIC food poisoning for 2 days. Have not been able to eat without being in the bathroom. Watched our server take unused silverware from one table and drop it off to the next as if it has not been at a dirty table. Never going back. DISGUSTING. They also have the most ABHORRENT atmosphere. Sorry are we in the 1800 but meet Temu? Didn't think it was possible to have a garage sale atmosphere but here we are. Also clean your bathrooms. Easy to look over the first time. But after 3 times? YUCK. Obvious they don't care. Reading other reviews. They definitely care more about making money off their parking lot instead of food. Cheap. Pathetic. Would go easier if this was a one time thing. BUT food poisoning and poor hygiene? Yeah no thanks. I rather risk it with expired sushi. read more

Great food and service! We have never been disappointed! Desserts are soooooo good! Even if you have to wait a bit, it's worth it!

They served the best steaks and shrimp that I've ever had. The butterfly shrimp were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The steaks were fantastic and the prime rib can't be beat. I had a crab cocktail and I'll go back just for that. The service was impeccable those girls really know what people want and how they like it and serve it just that way. You feel that you're in an old Steakhouse. You can see the cooks cooking your meal you can eat either the or the bar. Nice and cozy with that warm comfortable feel. I can't think of a better place to go. read more

My first time in was yesterday and I must say that while it's spendy, i really enjoyed my experience here. I had a nice long lunch break and Stage Coach is only about 10 min away from my current workplace. I've been hearing about them on the radio lately and it sounds like a place that's been around a long time and has a big following with the locals so decided to check it out. I really love the upscale western esthetic of the restaurant. It was pretty busy but they managed to seat me quick. Looking over the menu, they have several options that caught my eye... some that definitely weren't in my lunch time price range but I'd still love to come back and try at some point. The lamb for instance, sounds to die for! I went simpler and healthier and got the low cal plate which is your choice of a hamburger patty or chicken with cottage cheese and your choice of tomato slices or fruit. All of that sounded great.. I chose to do the hamburger patty this time and told the waitress I want the cottage cheese, tomato slices and a side of the fruit as well.. also a side of veggies to really get my snack on. Everything looked appetizing, tasted fresh and great ! The veggies definitely had some kind of oil or butter on them that I wasn't expecting and probably would have skipped if I'd known that's how they serve them but I still ate almost all of them. All I had left at the end was a small piece or two of the cauliflower but everything else was ate. My waitress was a sweetheart! I believe her name was Nicole, and she took great care of me , bringing me lemon for my water and hot tea, which I decided to get cause I was feeling cold. This was a very nice option for my lunch and I'll definitely come back. Next time I'll likely do the same thing but chicken instead of the hamburger. I'm really glad they have this as a lighter option as I am currently having issues with liver damage and need to eat healthier to reverse the damage to my liver which isn't always easy to do but this helped me stay on track with that and was also very filling! read more

The Stagecoach is my favorite bar in Boise. I have never left thirsty, hungry or disappointed. The bartenders are usually busy, but will keep your drinks filled.

Stagecoach Inn is a Boise institution. You know you're somewhere special when you walk in to a steakhouse with the same dark wood and curved seats they've had for decades. It tells you it's about the food and the experience, not modernizing to attract fickle trend chasers. The menu is straight out of an Americana playbook. Want a side of prawns? Sure! Dutch apple pie a la mode? Yep. My go to is the prime rib French dip for lunch. Simple and juicy with a side of horseradish. For dinner, I get the beef tips. I even adore the side salads served in wooden bowls. Last time I was in I tried the banana cream pie. Haven't had a better version in a long while. If you're looking for classic American fare this is the place. The price point ain't cheap and you'll be fighting for a table around the holidays, but service is good and straightforward. Highly recommended. read more

I remember really liking this place, but something changed...Probably me, since this is an institution. Ambiance is definitely that old-style steak house. Dark. Leather. Wood. Should be no surprise here. My issue is that the tables are really close together, resulting in a pretty loud environment. Steaks were ok, but we went there for prime rib. Were there fairly early, around 6pm, and were told that all the prime rib was cooked at least to medium. Ok, points for telling us, but still, how does that occur at a steak house. Note, steaks were better than say Texas Roadhouse, but not nearly as good as I remember. Drinks were good. Service good. Overall experience good. Another Boise institution that just can't compete with the new restaurants. It is fine, but there are just much better choices. read more

We were pleasantly surprised with the Stagecoach Inn when we went for dinner a few weeks back. Our sever was great and very attentive- drinks, good, etc came out on time. And the drinks and food were also good. I had a Ribeye and Baked potato, and it was cooked and seasoned very well. The Lemon Cream pie was a little too "whipped creamy" but the chocolate cream was great. This is a cool place For dinner, if you haven't tried it yet you should! read more

This place is iconic! The service is great and they really care about your experience. I asked the server to recommend something and he said the prime rib is real deal. I trusted him because he worked there for so long and he was right! The prime rib was a generous cut and it melted in my mouth! I thought there was no way I could finish that slab but to my surprise, I ate it all! You must come here and try the prime rib. It is world class! The whole vibe was fun and people truly love this place. You will too! You are welcome! read more
