Food was great! Had different wings and all were great. I'm a fan of buffalo always. The chicken pesto was amazing! If you like pesto and balsamic, loved the taste! Cool little spot, if it gets busy may be a little tight but I would definitely go back! read more

Comfortable tavern with full bar and craft beer on tap. Plenty of TVs plus high and low tables. Nice decorations round out the place. Good responsive wait staff. I had eaten here one other time quite a few years ago. I had the 3 Carnitas Tacos with pico de gallo. Meat tasted good, plenty of pico too. Tortillas held together nicely. Hot sauce had a different flavor to it, couldn't put my finger on the taste. It was nice and spicy though, not overly hot. Could have used a lime for a quick drizzle. I washed them down with an Icicle Dragontail IPA from Leavenworth, WA. They have 16 and 22 oz pours. Carter did a great job and she was very friendly. read more

Stopped in early afternoon and caught a laid-back vibe--locals trickling in for a late lunch, TV on mute, and country rock playing just loud enough to keep the energy going. I had the pub tacos, which were definitely spicy--fine for me, but it would've been nice to see a heads-up on the menu for those less heat-inclined. Flavor was solid, though. Overall, it's good pub fare--hearty, familiar, satisfying. That said, I thought this place billed itself as a tavern? The line between tavern and pub gets blurred here. Not a complaint, just a small identity crisis. The wait staff was attentive, talkative in a friendly way, and quick to cater to anything I needed. Service earns high marks. Why 4/5? Good food, great service, chill atmosphere. Just missing that little "something extra" that would push it into standout territory. read more

Quaint pizza joint with small but solid beer list and really great pizza - excellent crust with some crunch but good 'tooth' as well - quality toppings of good quantity. A new favorite of ours' read more

Had a great experience at Twisted Timber! The food was delicious--especially the smoked brisket, which was packed with flavor. Portion sizes were perfect, and everything came out hot and well-presented. The atmosphere is super cozy with a rustic, timber-themed vibe that feels both relaxed and inviting. It was clean, the noise level was just right, and overall had a really good energy. Our server, Josh, was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Service was prompt and smooth throughout the evening. Great value for what you get. I'd definitely come back--and I'm already planning to bring friends next time. One small suggestion: a few more vegetarian options would be great. Otherwise, awesome spot! read more

I come here frequently and Lars is such an amazing server! She's spent multiple years providing amazing service. She is always upbeat and has very high energy! She makes us always want to come back in. One of our favorite waitresses! read more

This is my go to spot after work once a week, the service and staff are awesome and is a great local spot. Good food, and it's great how the draft beers change. Keep up the great work!! read more

Good food. Good service. Good selection of beers. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 on a Saturday afternoon with no notice. Everyone enjoyed their meals from pizza to sandwiches, soups and salads. Everyone is looking forward to coming back. Was a little leery from the other reviews but gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. read more

First issue here: No idaho beers on tap. Second issue: The "spicy" wrap, not "spicy." Third issue: The fries literally taste like acrid frying oil and chicken wings. Fourth issue: I complained about the fries, and still got charged $6 for them. It feels like this place is ran remotely. Zero passion, zero local beers. Definitely go elsewhere read more

Service was terrible. Took us almost 2 hours to get our sandwiches. Our gal waiting on us never came around, never gave us a refill of our pop. I finally had to ask about our meal. She should have came by and let us know. read more

We went to Twisted Timber today for lunch and they didn't disappoint. Great selection of beers and their Italian trio sandwich was awesome along with the macaroni salad. Give them a try! read more

The service was great, the ladies behind the bar were awesome and fun. Food was very good, I had the wings. Super tasty, large and well prepared. The pizza also was outstanding. Looks like a very friendly locals tavern. read more

We had a wonderful experience here. The Mac salad was so yummy! The Turkey Pesto was great! The bread was so good! Service was friendly.

Last night was pretty excited to try this place out due to the 4 star rating on Yelp! Walking in all things seemed to be good lots of TVs with the games on and a few open tables. The tables are 1st come 1st serve which is fine seeing we found one right away. The ambience of the place is open with lots of seating at tables, high tables and at the bar. This is a classic looking sports, brew house bar/vibe. After being seated we were greeted by our very friendly waitress Christy and is the only reason for the extra star. She was super friendly and outgoing and immediately felt great about being here. Plus they have a great on tap and can selection of beers, seltzers and cider including some wine offerings as well. So things are still looking up and now that the adults all have some beverages all things are still looking good. Plus want to mention another high point before I get to my food experience. There was another waitress working with a flat brimmed hat, Oregon beavers t shirt and twin pony tails. She was awesome and helped us get the Boise Star Bowl game for us...her personality was great! So now your reading and question why the 2 star and it comes right down to the food. Looking at other reviews it starts adding up to why. What also has changed is the super limited menu now which is nothing like some of the pictures on line. For appetizers we had both dry rub and buffalo chicken wings along with their pub fries. The chicken wings were so gummy and in some cases not cooked well and had a microwave taste to them. Our family is huge chicken wing fans and these were not good and all 6 of us felt the same. It's a rare occasion with our family to have any chicken wings left and after a few bites no one wanted anything to do with these. For dinner my wife had the chicken tacos and took one bite and said these are disgusting and they must be using the same gummy microwave chicken meat. Plus the guacamole that was served with hers was actually brown on top. My daughter and son in law both had the carnitas tacos and both said it tasted like it came out of a microwave. Now this is not just a fluke and tells me they might not have a real kitchen in the back and this is all prepared foods out of pancaking that is just heated up. Then the pizza...I had the meat combo and added mushrooms and while flavorful it was under cooked and it I was going to give it a pizza review it would've been a 4.0 out of 10. Plus to add insult to injury after not really liking the food overall with tip $200 down the drain. Christy got a great tip from me because this wasn't her fault and maybe the owners should taste the food that comes out and if you do and you think this is great please get out there and experience what great taste likes. It's a shame because this whole are newly being here is starving for great locally owned spots for locals to chill and hang in. I would come back for a beer and watch a game but most likely not for the food.... read more

I can't believe I've been living 2 miles from this place for the last 2 and a half years and this was my first time visiting! Twisted Timber checked all my boxes for an A+ evening. If I could more than 5 stars, I would. For drinks my husband tried a Lush IPA (7% ABU, 80 IBU, Fremont Brewing) and I downed 2 glasses of Bourbon Barrel Peach Cider (6.9% ABV, Tieton Cider Works). It was the perfect balance of tart from the apples and sweetness from peaches. Super crisp and refreshing. I could have drank more if I wasn't DD. For food, we split a Buffalo Pizza with Cauliflower Crust (10", Buffalo sauce, chicken, olive, spinach, and avocado, $16.00) and baked sweet potato fries ($5.95). Okay, if I'm being completely honest here I have to say I have my suspicions about the cauliflower crust because it was just too damn good! I've had cauliflower crust that was absolutely horrendous but you know what you're getting yourself into. The avocados were a nice touch and these were fresh! No browning or bruises on any pieces. It honestly was a really pretty piece of food. The sweet potato paired excellently. They were cooked to crispy perfection and served with delicious fry sauce. I'll come back just for some cider and fries! We both walked out more than satisfied and agreed this is somewhere we may very well began to frequent on the regular. I definitely recommend Twister Timber to everyone! read more

Food was great but took over an hr. They're definitely understaffed. I recommend going in an hr earlier than you plan on. No prices are on their beer list, which I hate. Server was really nice & professional. We sat outside, their chairs need back padding. read more

Wide range of drink options, specialty beers, IPA's. Great pizza and pretzels, a favorite dinner spot of our nephew. Friendly servers and cool atmosphere. Has a sports bar feel, and awesome outdoor seating. It's very close to our house so we've become regulars. read more

Twisted Timber Tavern - Pubs Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Nice pub. The bar is a little too small for eating and drinking but the high tables are good. Look on the back of the paper drink menu for additional food options. We missed that at first and our server said a lot of people do. We both ended up changing our order once we saw those options. - Italian sandwich is solid if a bit uninteresting. Hoagie bread could be better. - Margarita pizza is very good. - Snowboarder Porter is excellent. Good service. Easy parking but maybe the gym next door takes up a lot of spaces? read more

Great service and beer selection. The nachos were good and a large portion. Outside seating when the weather permits.

Their roast beef soup is from a can. If that's what I'd wanted I'd just go to the store instead. Absolute joke. read more

This is our local hang out. We love grabbing a beer, lunch or dinner. The staff has always been so friendly and the food is always consistent. Our favorite is their pizza and the nachos. They also always have great beer on tap. read more

I was surprised at how good the food is here. Typical sports bar atmosphere. Beer options from OR, WA, ID (plus more) breweries. Not a ton of beer options but they had some good options for each style of beer. I ended up ordering an IPA from Breakside Brewery. (I'd personally like to see more local Boise beers added.) I was surprised at how reasonable the food prices were. Most places are significantly more expensive. (I didn't take a food menu pic, sorry) I ordered a half sandwich and soup. I was undecided between several sandwiches and the waitress the recommended the new Italian sandwich. The soup on the side was tomato basil. The soup was pretty average, not bad, but pretty basic. But the sandwich was incredible. VERY good!! I also tried the baked fries and they were some of the best fries I've had in awhile. I also ordered a salad to go, because someone at the table ordered it and it looked amazing. (I did try the nachos, which were pretty basic, nothing too exciting to say about them). From other reviews I've read, I think their strong points are salads and sandwiches... The waitress was genuinely friendly and helpful. It didn't feel forced or fake. And the people at the restaurant all were nice and smiling when walking by. Just seemed like everyone was happy and in a good mood. They also have a parking lot with lots of parking. I'd definitely go back! read more

Service was amazing! Our waitress was on point with our drinks, food and service. (Unfortunately we do not remember her name) She kept us updated on food which was awesome as the place was PACKED yet we got all of our food and drinks extremely fast. We got the pretzel, cheese pizza, wings, Mac and a sandwich. Highly recommend everything. We will surely be back to try other food options!! Oh and can't forget the awesome beer selection!!! If you've yet to try this restaurant out... we'll you're missing out!!! read more

We waited an hour for any food to come out including the appetizer of fries and cold sandwiches. Ceiling fans inside were full blast so it was freezing. Very crowded tables and loud. read more

Great assortment of beers! Enjoyed the pizza staff was amazing! Great family place or place to grab a few beers.

Food was poor quality service was poor. It's crazy walking into a restaurant and spending $62 just not to eat any of your food and then leave a $20 tip. Had a good grace that maybe the next person won't get a shitty service. The last was really giving my hopes and excitement out to this place I do not recommend eating at this establishment but if you're ready for a drink and to be ignored, this is your place read more

We just walked out of this establishment after waiting to be acknowledged for 15 minutes. Not busy...5 workers walking past us multiple times without any acknowledgement....while helping others that came in after us! Would not recommend!! read more

Best place to get a beer and fries! Hands down best fries in the valley! The server Lindsey goes above and beyond to make sure your drinks are full and you have good food! read more

Good bar food (no fried food), attentive service. Fun neighborhood hang out! Also a good tap list.

Another one of our absolute favorites that is so close to Home. When my husband and I were trying to figure out where we were going to live when we first moved to Idaho, this was the first place we stumbled upon (also per yelp reviews). We had lunch and shared a beer and began falling in love with the area. Fast forward, we ended up moving near by and we LOVE visiting. The food is always great no matter what you get... although I must suggest the club dip has kinda been my "go to" as of late. They serve beer and wine, so if you are looking for cocktails, this isn't the place. Their beer selection changes every so often as well. Which is really fun when they bring out the new lists. You really can't go wrong with any menu option you choose. Great for lunch and dinner! read more

Okay I normally give positive reviews since I use Yelp to find places (and normally steers me right!), but I have to give honest reviews to make sure I contribute to other Yelpers. Ok the good: - Cool vibe and good music, clean place - Staff was nice and helpful - Beer selection solid The not so good: - Ordered "chips and queso", however queso = canned yellow nacho cheese; shouldn't call it queso unless quality and generally blanco - Spicy chicken wrap - below average likely bagged/frozen chicken - "Pub Chips" = bagged potato chips, call them what they are - Wings were very average Overall not what I was expecting based on interior, the amount of people and overall vibe. Could be what we ordered but that's what we ordered ‍ read more

I'm in complete accord with Chris H on this one. Not a 2 star experience, but not quite a 4. So, bring on 3 a-ok stars! Came to meet friends for a beer and ended up staying for dinner. The beer offerings were solid, though there was nothing I was overly excited about. I ended up ordering the 8 Ball Stout, which is an oatmeal stout made in Eureka, Ca at Lost Coast Brewery. It's a decent stout--not my favorite but definitely not bad. For dinner, my dining companion and I decided share an order of their chicken nachos and their BBQ chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla was delish though I wasn't as big a fan of their nachos. The real appeal of this place is the atmosphere. It is definitely a friendly neighborhood type joint. It has a great casual pub vibe. If I lived in the 'hood, I would definitely head here for a regular post-work beer and hang sesh. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. We were in a large group (there were roughly 12 of us, I think) and she got all of our orders and checks spot on perfect. Oh! And, they have darts and pool for those interested in bar games! A-ok! read more

Overall, it was a great dining experience. Planning on going back to try some of the other dishes & highly recommend checking them out!

Great food! Not the best selection for drinks unless you are just looking for a beer but great atmosphere and a great regulars hangout. Great place to go where you are always remembered like the show "cheers" Great place to meet up with friends before going out on the town Great place to meet your local neighbors Great place to bring kids Great place to bring grandma..lol read more

Wings were good. Beer was good and staff was friendly. Kind of a neighborhood place vibe.

Great atmosphere. Great food! I came with my boyfriend and it only took about 5 minutes to get our drinks and about 15 minutes to get our food which tasted amazing, I highly recommend their nachos and pizza. Great portions as well. Small place you can tell has been around for a long time. They have it down. Close to home so we love to go there on a week day when we need a pick me up. read more

I have to update my review... I have been here several times and the service, in my opinion, is not great. I've been in here when it's busy, and not, and the service is the same. Slow and borderline rude...unfortunate. Down to 3 stars...sorry! Cute little bar and close to my house...BOOM! They have a good selection of beers on tap, which are rotated regularly. The food is good...there are NO FRYERS here so even the fries are baked...I have to say the baked sweet potato fries are yummy! This place isn't huge, but there is tons of seating. Shuffleboard, patio seating and beach volleyball in the summer...a fun little place to hang out! read more

Generous helpings of queso, great pizza selection and a delicious house salad are some good selling points here. Not only that, but their beer selection is pretty wide. From the usual domestics, to some local craft beers from the valley and the PNW, their rotating selection hasn't disappointed yet. read more

It's 7pm, and I have a starving family. After 2 other restaurants had closed down early because of the weather(what a joke!!, a couple inches of snow and everyone runs inside!!) We came to twisted timber. I've been here before a couple times and have never been disappointed this time was no different!! Delicious, hot food warmed our hungry bellies!! We had the Ruben, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, the kids Mac n cheese, and a side order of French fries. I had the soup with my Ruben which was a chicken gumbo, and it was delicious!! Perfect food for a cold snowy day!! The atmosphere and service were also great! Our server was Stephanie and she put up with all of our nonsense and was even patient with our little picky eater. All in all I will be back again, and again, and again!! Thanks Twisted Timber for not closing your doors at the sign of a little snow! read more
