    She enjoyed the table most of all
    Sydney J.

    Service was fantastic and so nice, food was very good, but I may have liked a little more seasoning. Fun diner ambiance. Will definitely be going back!

    Great burgers and fries - I love the fact it's a sit down, and you get service. Makes the dining experience more enjoyable. Been there twice since moving back to Boise, and it's been great both times. Love the deep fried pickles too! Also, they have diet Mtn. Dew!!

    Honestly a really good burger place. The blue cheese bacon burger was decent. The steak fingers are really good. Highly recommend getting them if you come here. Friendly service. Very clean inside. Good sized parking.

    Show me back to the city that I was born in is a special occasion for me. There's a lot of culture here in a lot of things that I get to love about my home city one of the things I love is the food and I love when I found a big Jud's. When very unique thing about Boise and Idaho altogether or something called fingersticks, you're absolutely delicious and their impossible to find anywhere else and I found a place that specializes in them and they also have one and 2 pound burger challenge... I provided photos, but I certainly was not man enough to take that challenge on today .my servers Emily and Kiesha were straight up awesome and had no problems making sure I understood the situation. I was walking into exit place was packed as you can imagine... If you're not from Boise, he probably have never heard of this. That's why everybody has to get fingersticks are absolutely is one of the things in the world. Honestly I don't care how fat I get you know I'm not gonna lose weight, I'm gonna find it right here on my plate stop by anytime.!!!!

    1lb Big Jud Special World Famous 1 lb Burger
    Jackie Z.

    Wow! Was not prepared for how huge the 1lb burger was. My two friends got one each and it was truly a layer cake in meat frosting form. Great tots and I wish the huckleberry shake wasn't out when I visited!

    Double bacon burger

    Great burgers and chicken sandwich. Hand made and on tje top of my burger list. Friendly and extremely fast service

    Regular Hickory Burger w/ grilled jalapeños

    It's a burger joint, with a catch. First catch, all the employees appear happy to be there and to see you. I wasn't sure if that was allowed anymore, maybe it is, or maybe they're just rebels. Whatever the case, I loved it. Second catch, they make good food at a reasonable price. Third catch, their outrageous eating challenge is just too much fun! Even if you're not even gonna consider gorging that 2lb monster with all the sides, there's always that chance someone else will be giving it a shot. Bottom line, if you like a fun burger joint atmosphere with good food, do it. If you like your burger served on a perfectly toasted brioche bun with a green olive on a curly toothpick piercing it's ostentatious depths by a waiter in a tux, don't go, you'll hate it!

    CHICKEN STRIPS & A CRAP TON OF TOTS
    Ryan G.

    THIS IS CONSIDERED CHICKEN STRIPS?!?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? I can't believe I wasted my money on this. THIS is what you call chicken strips with tots? Are you kidding me?!? Those chicken strips aren't even big. I could get better strips from a bowling alley. I'm very very disappointed. Not sure what Guy (DDD) was thinking.

From the moment I…read morewalked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and upbeat, with friendly staff who clearly take pride in what they do. The burger itself was outstanding--perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the toppings were balanced just right without overwhelming the burger. Even the bun was soft yet held everything together perfectly, which is something a lot of places overlook. What really stood out was the attention to detail across the whole meal. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and everything came out hot and fresh without a long wait. It's clear this place cares about consistency and customer experience. Whether you're just stopping in for a quick bite or looking for a go-to burger spot, this place absolutely delivers. We will definitely be coming back again and recommending it to anyone who appreciates a truly great burger. Location is fun with other restaurants nearby. Must visit!

They are most definitely a top contender for the "best burgers" title in town. After hearing folks who'd found this place proclaim its greatness, I had to give it a go. Glad I did! Think fairly traditional burger fixings on 1/3 pound burgers done well. I've tried the cheeseburger and the feta and jalapeno burger. Both were tasty and cooked perfectly. They're the type of burgers that are simple, but that's a good thing. I'm a bit picky about my burgers and am sensitive to fries cooked in old oil. I'm happy to say these meals don't leave my gut regretting my life choices. Each burger comes with lettuce, pickle, red onion and tomato. They don't slather condiments on; you'll have to ask for those you like specifically. They also come with a side of thick-cut fries with light seasoning and fry sauce. I mean, this is Idaho. Gotta have the fry sauce. All of this clocks in at between 8-12 buckos. Their hours are a little wonky, so check before heading out. It's a food truck and they have limited outside table space. From what I gather this is primarily a dinner joint with most hours of operation between 3-10 pm. Pity, because having this as a lunch option would be dandy. Pop in here if you're on Overland and give these burgers a go. It's already becoming a regular stop for us!

I guess that I expected great french fries, after all, Idaho is known for their potatoes, but burgers never crossed my mind. I guess that I should have expected good beef, after all, it makes sense that you should have great local sources of beef here. Anyway, Triple B's Boise's Best Burgers offers great burgers and the expected great french fries. I had the Baja Burger, which was topped with grilled jalapeno peppers, grilled onions and Pepper Jack cheese. It came with french fries and both items were excellent. Truly a great lunch and culinary experience. The menu has several interesting selections, so I am sure you and anyone that is here with you will be able to find something that will interest you and/or them. Go check this place out. I am sure that you will be impressed. I offer this place not only my recommendation, but I give it a five star () rating.

    My co workers and I headed to Bittercreek for my birthday and happy hour! We were killing two birds…read morewith one stone today and we were all here for it! A couple of my friends showed up first, got a great table outside and ordered a couple apps to get the party started. I showed up after goodies and drinks were ordered. We started off with some chips and salsa and pountine. The chips and salsa looked good but the pountine was definitely calling my name! I love me some potatoes and these potatoes looked like they were going to be right up my alley! I dished up a good portion before my friends got some. They were kind to let me plate first cause of my new kidney. I didn't want to be too greedy so the portion I got was a few bites. Those few bites got me hooked so it was a must to get another order started. While my order of pountine was being worked on, I tried the pretzel with cheese and the hummus plate. The pretzel was perfectly salted. The cheese sauce was the perfect addition to the soft pretzel. I took a good amount of the hummus and Greek salad. The pita that came with it was a great vessel for the hummus. It was crispy with a slight chew to it. The hummus was clean tasting and rich. The Greek salad was so fresh. All the components of the salad tasted like they were just picked from the garden. You literally can't get anymore farm to table than that! It was so fresh! The second order of pountine came out. Everything about this appetizer was delicious! I love soggy, softer fries and these fries were the business! The gravy and cheese were the highlight of the dish for me. You can never go wrong with potatoes, cheese and gravy! There was a good amount of meat on the pountine. It was so tender! You can tell it was cooked with a lot of love and time! I took the rest home and I plan on hiding my box in the back of my fridge so my daughter can't get to it! We ended our happy hour with the beignets. Each one of these goodies were covered in powered sugar. The caramel sauce that was paired with it was devine! In all honesty, as full as I was, I could have polished off an order myself! They were the perfect dessert to end this fabulous meal. Bittercreek has been on my to go list for a hot minute. I'm so happy we got to come here and celebrate my birthday. The food was marvelous. Our server did a fantastic job taking care of us! Our waters were always filled. Our cocktails were never dry. And our plates were always filled cause food was always ordered on time for us. Homie was on point tonight! The venue can't be any more stunning. The weather was lovely. We were meant to be here today! In so happy we started my birthday week off at Bittercreek!

    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.

I appreciate all the football decor.. it got me pumped up for football season. There were three gals at the front. I'm not trying to read too much into it but one of the gals needs to learn how to smile at guests. Nothing like smiling at someone to have her give you back such an awful glare. RBF doesn't make guests feel welcomed. The sweet gal at the register helped me out with my order. For my husband's lobsta roll, we got it all modified and ordered. I also got myself some jalapeno poppers. I smashed my jalapeno poppers! Some of the jalapenos were not spicy but some had a good heat to them.
