    Applebee's on Emerald in Boise, Idaho: boneless wings.
    Michelle P.

    I always do a gut-check with the people I am dining with when I am thinking of the star-rating, and my husband's comment after our Applebee's meal was "this meal reminds me of why we don't come to Applebee's." So, yeah. We don't go to Applebee's because we've never really been impressed with the food. But someone gave me a gift card, and we wanted lunch out, so there we were. Before going into the restaurant, I downloaded their app to see if they had anything special on the app. Nope. No incentive for having their app so I quickly took that off my phone. My husband and I shared a combo: riblets and oriental chicken salad and boneless wings as the appetizer in the combo. The ribs were beyond charred - they were crispy, with black burnt crunchy areas. The fries were just there. The oriental salad was sort of a cross between a slaw and a salad - heavy on cabbage, the dressing was a thin cream dressing akin to coleslaw dressing - and I was expecting there to be some mandarin oranges in it, but there weren't any. The breadstick was not good (and I've never met a breadstick I didn't like); it was very herby, needed salt, and not appetizing at all. There were a couple of elderly ladies sitting next to us and the older one (I would say 80+-years-young) wanted her soup. The server told her that it would come out with her salad. She said she'd like to have it now. And he said it'll come on the plate with your salad. (And he's being completely condescending with her.) She's hungry, she needs to eat, and she's asking for her salad to come before the meal instead of having to wait for it to come on the plate with the soup. He tells her that's the way that meal works - the soup comes with the salad. Really? You mean to tell me that if you went back to the kitchen and told them that the lady at table 18 needs her salad now, they would say it's not possible because it absolutely has to go on the plate with the soup? Dumb. It was really uncomfortable to watch this little lady practically begging for her salad now but not being able to have it because of what "the process" is. So dumb. They have Pepsi products - the Mug root beer was good.

    These handy little devices are really nice. They allow you to pay your bill at the table and have games for the kiddos.

Everything was fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful. The service was excellent, and the staff made us feel very welcome. We chose to sit outside since the weather was beautiful, and it was the perfect setting for our family. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service--we highly recommend Bittercreek Alehouse and will definitely be back!

    First, let's talk about the location. The street this place sits on is an absolute vibe. Even on…read morethe night we visited, there was a solo artist performing, people dancing in the street, and a mix of restaurants and businesses all along the strip. If the weather is cooperating, sit outside. The beer selection is impressive, with a great range of lagers and ales. We had our eye on one particular light, crisp option, but they were out for the night. Our server pointed us toward something comparable... I believe it was called Teddy Bearnd...it worked. Now, the food. My friend went for one of their signature burgers, which was seasoned simply so the beef really gets to shine. The only hiccup was that they were out of tomatoes, which is a non-negotiable topping for her, so keep that in mind if tomatoes are a must. I went a different route and ordered the beef focaccia. Uniquely layered ribeye and really good. We also shared a Greek salad that was simple but fresh and satisfying. And the french fries with their homemade ketchup? Don't skip em. Service was smooth and friendly from start to finish. No complaints.

We saw a young couple get frustrated with how packed it was and left, but what do you expect on a Friday night, this isn't a fast food place. We stuck around and placed our order. Got lucky because they only do Fish Fry's on Fridays! Ordered the prawns and fish, got two order of buffalo wings, Mac and cheese, chipotle wrap, and kids burger. Fish was amazing!! Tasted Fresh! Not frozen! I was really not sure what to expect and faced my fears and ordered it. I can say it was some of the best fried fish I've had no lie. I was super pleased with it! Next time I'll try just the fish and chips in hopes that it comes with one more piece. The prawns were skinny ones and I wasn't too fond of them but the fish the main dish was perfect! Wife and bro-in law got an order of wings each and they were both super happy with them, I snagged 3 and would say top 5 wings I've had. Sister got the chipotle wrap and she said it was really good! Wife also got the mac n cheese with bacon and her and the kids loved it. Kids burger was able to split between two kids and they tore it up along with the mac n cheese! We had a great experience! Just be patient with staff and cooks, they get bogged down and you have to expect that or be ready to order fast when you're there.

Plan to circle the block several times if you want to be close. Otherwise plan on parking and walking. When we walked in, 5:30-ish on a Thursday evening the bartender told us to sit wherever we wanted. There were two booths and a couple of other tables available. It took several minutes for anyone else to acknowledge us and bring us menus. When asked, the waitress didn't know what beers were on tap, but did have them all written down. That was helpful. Also seemed to have a good selection of "house" cocktails, which would be fun for happy hour or a game day. Vibe is definitely sports bar on a college campus, but the patrons were not college-aged. As others have commented, great overhead music. While we were there it was 70s classic rock. Now for the food - all great! Hubby gor the finger steaks, and while the breading looked very dark, he said they didn't taste burnt or overcooked. They came with BBQ sauce and an Asian-ish sweet-chili-horseradish sauce. Not cocktail sauce and very weird. I got The Grateful Shed burger with tots. It was delicious! Served on a brioche bun that could not stand up to the burger and how juicy it was. But that's what a fork is for. The candied bacon on it was so good. And the tots! Crispiest I've have in all of the treasure valley! It did take quite a while for the food to come out. I had a good view of the kitchen so I know it wasn't the wait staff. And its never good to see tables that ordered after us get their food before us. That's the only reason for a 4 star rating. If you aren't in a hurry, and maybe don't mind walking for parking, I'd definitely recommend The Shed!
