Friday crab/shrimp cocktail was SO FRESH, and SO delish. Seriously. Old school Gamekeeper quality.

Great food and friendly staff. My husband and I go at least twice a month. If you like and old fashioned home town bar and grill this is the place for you

Perfect definition of a dive bar! Love the long bar with plenty of bar stools that have back rests. BLT is out of this world yummy, try it for sure with a friend. All staff members are attentive, friendly, and move with purpose! We will stop by again when in the area!!

We were recommended here by a friend for the shrimp and crab cocktail. They only have it on Friday and usually sell out. Definitely delicious. Staff are all nice and friendly!

Classic hole in the wall bar. Menu is written on a white board on the wall by the kitchen. Friendly bartenders! Great place to just hang out for a while

We visited Boise from Ohio for Thanksgiving. We looked up places to eat on Google. I am telling you, the minute we walked in we had amazing customer service! I had a Bacon Cheeseburger and French Onion soup for lunch…OMG! So delicious! I will visit this place again for sure! My husband and I will pick a private owned establishment over a chain any day when we travel. Best decision we made this trip! If you are looking for a place to visit to eat lunch you have got to stop here! You will not be disappointed!
