Frog approves of this hoagie
The Frog F.

Another wonderful experience! So many things to try, it's difficult to choose! I just found out today about the magnificent burgers

Menu
Chris R.

Phenomenal food. The recommendations were spot on (The Gettin' Figgy Wit It and Cluckin' Good). The homemade ranch dressing has a freshness akin to fresh pesto and was delicious. The outside seating was very nice. Fun to watch the kids running around in the fountains. The main lady (perhaps owner?) was very sweet and again, gave great recommendations.

Chef here is amazing creating foods like no other. Loved the curry tomato soup and the rib eye sandwich called the Optimus Prime rib. I wished they were open later for business.

Cluck Norris and chicken & white bean chili
Genniece L.

I found this cute sandwich shop after a Google search after the gym. I needed immediate sustenance and I wanted to try something local, unique and new to me. Every sandwich on the board reads like a love letter to a man on death row. With names like "Cluck Norris", "Pesto Perfection" and "That's My Jam", it invited me to read the description of each. The bread on my "Cluckin Good" was perfect. I'm mad I can't make crusty sourdough that comes out HALF as delicious as theirs did. Chewy inside and crust outside, it just added to the flavors of bacon, arugula, brie and a house-made vinaigrette on my sandwich. I also tried the chicken white bean chili and it, too, was perfection. Corn and proper pieces of chicken in a base that had the perfect blend of heat, youngsters may even enjoy it. Thanks a lot Twisted Fig... now I have to drive out of my way so I won't be disappointed when I purchase lunch closer to home. Honey (my little dog who was allowed inside and they even gave her a treat of greasy turkey) and I will be back soon!

Enough disappointed that our experience at this local owner operated, order at the counter and try to find a seat sandwich place (we ordered a sandwich to share and it came with chef's choice of salad of the day) was so different from glowing reviews that we likely won't go back. We did appreciate that the nice young man who came in about half way through our eating of mushy pasta salad and sandwich on less than fresh bread noting we didn't finish and had tossed half out, it is also a bus your own format, asked us on the way out how we liked the meal. FOOD: He was professional in asking and I returned my comments in the same vein of knowing one can't fix what one doesn't know is broken. His replies to my comments indicated they did know the problems that day and I very much appreciated his candor. I told him the flavors in the pasta salad and cut of the veg suggested it would have been really good for the sort of pesto flavors if fresh but it was past its' service prime for soggy veg and the penne, always a poor choice for pasta salad that needs to be held in refrigerator a while for service, was mushy and as a tip, cavatappi would be the penultimate choice for longevity. He said cavatappi is what is normally used but the chef had a catering job the evening before with this penne pasta salad used and the kitchen didn't want to waste the unused remainder so used it for lunch service on this day. That explained the poor quality issue. Also, I told him I was disappointed in the bread seemed stale, they use a good Boise baker for their bread and it is a baker I choose for my own use. He said I had a good palate because on this day it needed to be removed from the freezer and I can't recall the detail as I write my comments here but there had been some problem with the timing of the thaw that required microwave use and the bread was not up to usual par. All good to know, I told him, but it would have been better to know prior to ordering, "we are serving day old, mushy pasta salad and less than fresh bread with our sandwiches today for the same price as a first quality day". PRICE POINT: All sandwiches are served on split focaccia style bread and come with either bag of chips or salad of the day. Prices roughly $9 to $15. SERVICE: Since I have some gazillions of years old experience in this industry I understand every place can have a bad day. Which apparently was the case here at lunch service for the food and compounded by the owner / chef having the day off and while the young women in the tiny kitchen were doing their very best to try to keep up with taking and filling orders, there were a lot of seemingly local business people placing or picking up to go orders, they were 'in the weeds'. It happens. BOTTOM LINE: That all said, this little place is clearly popular with locals at lunch. And while we go out of our way to seek out and support local businesses, as in this was a destination dining choice for us on this day when we needed to be in Caldwell for other reasons, and we acknowledge poor quality things can happen to anyone on occasion, the service format and vibe aren't a fit for us to make the effort to return. (If we are looking for casual eats at lunch hour in downtown Caldwell with order at counter format again we'll mosey across Indian Creek Plaza to Flying M for coffee and bakery case options.) LOCATION / PARKING: Faces Indian Creek Plaza in downtown Caldwell. Parking is on street and entry to the eatery is on the plaza, so walk to the back of the building to find it. ACCESSIBILITY: Old building has been modified and the owner of building has ADA non-compliance issues with easily fixable 'bumps' in the entry and access to the main room that are out of compliance for height by just enough to be an impediment to wheelchair users. The ADA is clear as law and the State Building Code Access chapter mirrors it that when a building use is modified, as this one was, those entry in the door issues must be corrected. OUTDOOR SEATING: You can take your order out to eat at one of the public use tables on Indian Creek Plaza.

Found this gem at Indian Creek plaza in DT Caldwell and we were so happy to have stumbled upon it…read more They are dog friendly- and we even got to sit inside (with our golden)- they brought him a bowl of water and loved on him too, which is always such an added treat. The service was AMAZING! Seriously, even if the food hadn't been great, which it was, we would come back just for the vibe and service. The place was so cute- it had amazing murals all over the walls, a decent sized menu and our server made the best recommendations and truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed, taken care of and that everything was great. The sauce is delicious, the brisket was wonderful, and the price point is fair. If you like BBQ, go check them out for sure. We can't wait to go back. Also, definitely do an order of the grenades, they were delicious.

And the burger meat my husband said was probably one of the most delicious burgers he's ever had. Everyone from the hosts to our rad server TY who was super cool so sweet and funny with insights on how to order stuff. To the raddest cook miss whiskey that I've ever chatted it up with at a restaurant Eva. What I'm trying to say is. Everything on the menu is delicious but our big family of 7 had the best time there because your team was absolutely awesome. Oh and their Apple cider!!!! Fresh and delicious!! Thank you guys we'll definitely be back!

Love love love this place! One of our favorite regular spots to go to. Excellent food, everything…read moreon the menu is so yum. The drinks are fantastic. The consistency is something to be proud of. We've been coming here since the beginning. Every single person working here is so friendly & fun. Val, Jordin, Ryan, Quinn, Sebastian, Sonia - you all rock!! Sorry this review is so overdue, but so incredibly well-deserved. Bravo! And see you soon ;)

We come every year for my moms birthday and tonight i noticed it just looks janky. Some might say…read moreim being nit picky but I'm also a business owner and id want to know this sort of thing for my business. When you walk in i noticed all the light fixtures are filthy. The 2 chandeliers have so many cobwebs on them that i wondered if it was left over Halloween decorations. They also have mismatched bulbs. Additionally all the exposed air ductwork is also filthy. My mom turned 82 today and has compromised pulmonary issues and when i saw all this the first thing that ran through my mind is I hope she's not gonna inhale all that stuff and have a rough day tomorrow breathing. Again, admittedly, yes, I am being picky but when I take 12 people out to dinner and drop a couple hundred dollars doing such, I want the place to be sharp and on point. The service is and always has been. But the place is looking a little rough. A few guys, a few ladders and a few hours will make a lot of difference.

Wow, this pizza place is like California Pizza Kitchen on crack...tons of awesome pizza flavors,…read morefun sides and great service! Inside is homey and has a nice rustic, woodsy yet modern, edgy style. This isn't your average pizza joint...It's a special little nook of heaven. Ordered a medium cheese pizza with sausage, extremely twisted sticks, kickin' chicken (chicken marinated in a spicy ginger Thai sauce, peanuts, green onions, Swiss, Fontina, fresh cilantro, mozzarella, peanut sauce and shredded carrots) and a small baseline garden salad with ranch dressing. Baseline came out first and was a very generous size for a small. Every ingredient, the tomatoes, onions, lettuce, carrots and croutons were fresh and crafted to perfection. The ranch was a nice texture and flavor. Next came the Extreme Twisted Sticks, cheese sticks with marinara. Only downside is that the marinara was cold, but the twists were nicely baked with ooey-gooey cheese inside. Next came the pizzas. Each pizza had a nice thin-ish crust, crispy and nicely salted, with generous toppings on each slice. You can tell that the people who make these items care about what goes out to the customer. We loved our time there and even our friends from New York said that they loved this pizza...and that says a lot! We can't wait to go back.

Food mad great, lots of choices and the salad was fantastic! Prices seem fair and atmosphere is…read moregreat... this place has minimal tables and chairs great for a party of 6 or less! Excellent choice for pizza and friendly great service!

Nice selection on menu Tomato basil soup little salty…read moreCAUTION: Unless you really really really like mustard tell them lite on the mustard. My Italian sandwich and my wife's pastrami sandwich was slathered in mustard. Our food was literally mustard sandwiches. It's like they get a bonus from the mustard cartel so tell them your topping preferences!!!

I can't believe we only got two sandwiches and a cookie and somehow walked out of there paying over…read more$40.. got into the car, unwrapped the sandwich and the first thing I noticed was there was no way I was going to be able to get my mouth around the whole thing.. so I just wrapped it up and decided when I got home I would figure out how to attack it. So when I got home, I unwrapped it and took it apart to see if I rebuilt it, maybe I could actually eat it and that's when I noticed the subpar components of the sandwich. I got a turkey club, the turkey was supposed to be sliced, it was 100% shredded.. like the pieces that are left when they use all the rest of the good stuff , there was supposed to be bacon on it.. there was one piece.. the lettuce looked like it had been sitting out for hours (it's only five minutes back to my house) .. the condiments were only on one side of a sandwich... It's just crazy how bad it was considering they make it right there. Next time I'll just go to Subway, it's actually quality food that I can fit in my mouth.. and it's not $40 for two sandwiches. I won't go back here again.
