The ambiance can't be matched in the valley for comfort, and the service is outstanding. But the food selections are left wanting. Perhaps the venue is trying to be sophisticated, but it comes up short with its limited selection and poor quality french fries. Loaded baked potatoes, maybe fish and chips, and ribs seem more likely to succeed here than Brussels sprouts, at least for us semi-casual folks. The venue, otherwise, is a great value for 2-hour concerts with good drinks.

I will also say the hours are until 8 PM but several times they have turned away to go orders starting at 4 PM. I don't understand the difference between offering someone to dine in or to go. If it's a small order, I could just put the food in it to go box myself at the table..... if there's a reason they're not taking to go orders they need to state what it is. About the flavor difference I don't know the potatoes taste different. The burnt ends taste different. The brisket taste different. They have also made several menu changes and changes to how they advertise in the actual brick-and-mortar location. With all these changes over the last six years, it just does not feel or taste like the same restaurant. And I'm turned off by the refusal of to go orders. I would much rather drive down the street to the other barbecue location.

I've had takeout from here on many occasions and it's always good. Chose the pulled pork sandwich, Carolina style, which was delicious. Soft, good roll. Fresh coleslaw, and lots of pork. Great overall sandwich. My side of choice was the sweet potato fries. Decent portion and yummy, fried well, fries. Would repeat. Just next time with a beer :-)

Stopped in for a spring lunch and really enjoyed the laid-back vibe--sunny weather, cold beers, and…read morea solid spread of sliders made for a great midday break. We tried a mix of meats, and there was plenty to like. The pulled pork stood out as the best of the bunch--tender, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for from good BBQ. The spicy BBQ sauce was a highlight too: it's got a real kick--hot in a fun, nostalgic way, like a high school pool party where things get a little wild but in the best sense. The tri-tip was decent, though it leaned a bit young and could've benefited from a touch more time or seasoning to really shine. The chicken was cooked nicely--juicy and not overdone--but felt like it needed a little extra smoky pizzazz to stand out. On the plus side, the buns were excellent across the board, soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. Service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Overall, a really pleasant lunch spot with some strong offerings and a great atmosphere. I'd say it would absolutely earn a nod of approval from my  St. Louis BBQ grandpa and his crew from Wells-Goodfellow--satisfying, honest barbecue with a few standout bites and a good time to go with it.

The best BBQ in Treasure Valley can be found at a local food truck, Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue. I've…read moretried a lot of highly rated BBQ joints around town and have been left a little disappointed. I recently stumbled across Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue Food Truck and oh my goodness!!! Their St. Louis Style ribs are succulent, meaty and finger licking good. The ribs are sauced and absolutely delicious. I've tried several sides and the potato salad is one of my favorites. Full confession - I'm normally not a big fan of coleslaw, but Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue adds apple and I've been converted. I highly recommend the Banana Pudding to end your meal or just because!!! These dishes are definitely comfort foods and truly taste homemade, without me having to do any work!!! The breakfast burrito is a sight to behold. I ordered it with brisket and it was full of delicious meat. They offer breakfast sandwiches, rib plates, mac & cheese bowls, sides, tacos and desserts. Note - it is a food truck so the menu can change. The owners, Arica and Andrew are wonderful people and care about the food they provide - this food truck has heart! Look for Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue on Facebook and Instagram. You just might find them on Saturdays 9-2 outside the Skin Apothecary in Star 11104 W State St Star Idaho. They also provide catering!

But...my kids and I wanted to check it out, and it's pretty great. They have hot food that ranges from hot dogs to slices of pizza.

Especially Richard, who went above and beyond last week to help my friend's son figure out the sugar amounts in the soda flavorings (he has diabetes). He just made such a great impression and we appreciated his help.

Unfortunately, our experience was pretty disappointing overall. We ordered three sandwiches to and only one -- the meatloaf sandwich -- was decent. My husband ordered the Kansas City brisket sandwich, and unfortunately ours came with just a few very thick-cut pieces of brisket that weren't very appetizing. Based on other photos/reviews, it may have been an off day, but the flavor and texture in the sandwich we received were disappointing. I ordered the Reuben, and the bread-to-meat ratio was way off (photo attached). It was mostly bread with very little filling, especially for a ~$14 sandwich. The sides were okay, but the portions overall felt pretty minimal given the pricing. I always want to support local restaurants, especially ones prioritizing local ingredients, so this was a letdown. Based on this visit, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

There were five men in our party, and she offered separate checks, which I really appreciated. I'm sure I'll be back.

It's a nice sports bar theme, but also welcoming and cozy. Once we sat down, a server came over immediately with menus. It seemed like she was the only server though, which made me feel badly for her...she never stopped moving the entire time we were there with taking orders, serving, refilling drinks, taking payments, etc. We had a party of four - I ordered the "Hail Mary" (2 patties, onion rings, bbq sauce, bacon, American cheese and pickles), hubby had the double steak burger and my friends ordered "The Big Hurt" and "Bullet Work". Bonus points for having multiple fries options (regular, garlic, French fry dippers and sweet potato), but unfortunately for me, they were out of sweet potato. Food came out relatively quickly and everything looked pretty delicious. My burger was bigger than I expected, which I appreciated. The onion ring was the perfect size for the patty and the drizzle of BBQ sauce was enough to flavor the burger without drowning it. The only downside was that the bacon wasn't crispy enough and the cheese was barely melted. The patties had some nice, crispy edges and the bun was soft even though it was toasted. It might have been bumped up a notch with some mayo on the bun, an extra slice of cheese and lettuce, but overall, it was a nice, very filling, burger. The fries were perfectly seasoned, slightly battered and the fry sauce was a great compliment. Everyone finished their meals and raved about how much they liked their burgers. Due to the one server taking care of so many tables, we didn't see her again until it was time for the check. Thankfully the water glasses were enormous and I luckily made it through dinner with just enough to drink. We would definitely visit again to check out all the great options on this menu!

And honestly? We keep coming back. I know everyone compares it to Ahi because there really aren't that many sushi places in Eagle, but they fill different moods for us. Ahi feels more like somewhere you go for a quieter dinner or work conversation. Glory is where we go when we want an easy 45-minute lunch without making it a whole event. Their lunch bento boxes are super affordable, portions are solid, and we've never had trouble getting seated quickly. It's casual, low-pressure, and easy to pop into in the middle of the day. No long wait, no complicated parking situation, no "do we need a reservation?" discussion. We've gone quite a few times now and it's become one of those reliable local spots when you just want a quick sushi lunch that doesn't destroy your budget. For Eagle especially, that alone makes it worth supporting.
