    Standard height, accessible by everyone, 2-tops and 4-tops.  High counter with stools seating at the window.
    Michele R.

    "OUT-standing!", with that emphasis, was my answer when the nice guy behind the counter who helped my husband and me when we came in asked how the sandwich was as I started to leave. "But also a dilemma", I said, "because this is the kind of place I want everyone to know about but also I don't want to tell anyone about so it can be my little secret place." The three guys in line nodded as in "yep". Ta dum. WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL: Pride of ownership shined in every detail of the space and It seemed mostly locals or local'ish (that is we live 25 minutes away but drove to eat here after reading an interview with the owners) audience in ages from maybe 18 months to 80 years old and all ages in between. A couple of local women were waiting on their take away order when we arrived and I said I wished this was in our town and they laughed with one wagging her finger at me as she said "Don't you even TRY to get them to move." So that's what I don't want to see lost if "everyone" knows about it. The nice people, locals, everyone is welcome here feeling. That is why I am only telling you, on the privacy of Yelp, if you promise to be nice person and appreciative customer when you go. :-) Any new business benefits from word of mouth from one happy customer to others but part of me wants be sure this is "nice people only". As I recall the interview details, the couple that owns this retired from jobs in another state and moved to the area with the idea of starting a business like this. When I asked the guy behind the counter how they chose this particular, sort of out of the way neighborhood in north Boise he said they were trying to find an area that was underserved for a craft butchershop and the eatery they had in mind. Boy, did they choose well! My neighborhood could use them too. MENU & EATS: The menu features sandwiches (using local bakeshop Acme bread which is always delicious) like Rueben (they make their owned corned beef), pulled pork, peppered smoked turkey and cheesesteak. They also have a hamburger, with their in house custom ground beef, and a breakfast sandwich. All are about $18 and the lunch sandwiches and burger include a small side salad of your choice. The sandwiches are generously sized and my husband and I shared an excellent Rueben on Acme Rye with two side salads and left fully and well fed. While this would be a difficult place for a dedicated vegetarian to eat, there were a couple of main dish salads on the menu as well as some of the side salads that would work for that. My husband and I choose plant based eating almost 90% of the time so I pay attention. EXTRAS: They have items in the butcher case to buy. They also have refrigerated and freezer cases with some items to take away, mostly locally or Idaho sourced. We did buy one of their chicken pot pies from the freezer to try at home, and I have to say we were disappointed in it. The filling was tasty but the crust remained pasty no matter how long it was cooked. A friend bought one and had the same experience. I'll mention it to them next time I'm in and see if they have a "fix" but I'm a pretty ummm...well seasoned...home cook and so I don't think this was me. (PS - If looking for a great chicken pot pie to take home and bake see Certified Kitchen & Bakery in Boise's north end.) VIBE & SERVICE: Open space, sparkling clean, bright and light, order at the counter and they will run it to your table when your food is ready. Seating at standard height, all people can use them, tables as well as some high counter seats at he window. ACCESSIBILITY: This is is a sort of strip mall location and like so many in Boise, the parking lot is not ADA compliant for the number of or location of accessible parking spaces. For those who need this kind of parking with a curb cut onto the sidewalk, I share that there is just one at this end of the strip mall and otherwise the curb is a barrier. That is the strip mall owner's issue. Once inside, all is accessible for floor space and seating.

    Love this place the more and more I come here! First off, best butcher in town. Want to get a thick cut prime, aged or wagyu steak for the evening, that's better than anything you'll get at a nice restaurant? Come here. Wines. Cheeses. Dessert. Amazing! But this time around I tried their Smash Burger. Gooey, beefy, juicy, savory Picture speaks for itself. Better than smash ally. 10/10

    Tri Tip Sandwich
    Kelsy P.

    THIS is a steak sandwich! Flavorful, tender meat is the star of the show. Choose from a sandwich or salad on your way down from a ski day at bogus, or stop in for a juicy cut to take home and create for yourself. Shared parking, order at the counter, casual atmosphere, moderate amount of seating, best for small groups or to go.

    Wagu beef Bluffside Provisions cheeseburger!
    Brig V.

    Home run all the way around!! This is one of my staple go tos for lunches with friends or to just grab a quick bite. The owners truly care about their customers & staff. The food is so fresh! I love the cheeseburger!!!

    We were fortunate to find this wonderful establishment on Yelp! It has a great vibe, friendly and helpful staff, and our food and beers were terrific! We will definitely be back and highly recommend! They have a lot of great meat cuts and drinks to purchase separately from your meal, as well. Great find!

    Boise bomb!

    First time here! Super nice crew and excellent service. Boise bomb was delicious and a great recommendation. The meat was super tender and the onion was a good touch. Orzo and Caesar were really good.

    Dear Andy. * I am appalled at the bad representation you are…read moreadding to your game processing community; though I do hope this review gives your competitors with professionalism and integrity the chance for some new business. We, unfortunately, are no longer able to extend the trust needed to turn over another animal to a game processor. Elk is too hard earned, too precious, rare and valuable a resource. A concept which seems to have been lost on you, a fellow hunter. Strange. * From the start, you had terrible and unprofessional communication. Short clipped, angry toned texts and calls that I would never imagine coming from a small business owner. I kept my temper and calmly communicated with you because you held our game in your "hands". o When we came to pick up the remainder of our order, and asked your employee if we owed any final fees, he called you over and you asked why we didn't pick up the order ourselves. You seemed upset, thinking we were on vacation (not that it matters where we were) but when we explained we are at work overseas for a month, you seemed more accepting of our "excuse". Later, speaking with our neighbor (who picked up the part of the order you had ready) revealed the shortfall, it warranted an inquiry. At this point, we were met with false accusations of intimidation (perhaps as a little CYA) from that final pick-up visit. He, at our request, had picked up most of the order immediately, to make sure not to take up limited storage space at your business during the active season. He had no way of knowing the weight/amount to expect because you said you still had to process some of the order. Side note, he is a hunter as well, a small business owner, our long time friend and trustworthy, so we know he did not keep any of the game. * ~190 pounds of game meat total. That's what we received from a full-grown bull elk ~700lbs, and cow elk, ~400lbs live weight. And you just repeated this was the post-processing yield from these two animals turned over to you within 48 hours of the cow being harvested and within 24hrs of the bull. Probably didn't help that you admitted you didn't start processing until 3 weeks later...and on the note of processing: o Terrible brats, dry, not enough fat, no flavor. o NO GROUND BURGER, though requested, you said there wasn't enough left...really? o Breakfast sausage and pepperoni stick are good flavor. o Cuts were clean for steaks, roasts, etc., for the small amount we got back. * It is a common practice, to include my own, to share meat with friends and family who no longer have the opportunity to hunt due to age or disability. I did share, but did not have enough to share as much as I normally do. * You offered no refund with a ~$1,200.00 price tag. I considered a small claims suit to get some of my money back, but I just don't have the time. In the end, I guess this was a hard learned lesson not trust good review ratings...since yours was a 4.9 when we chose your business over only one other business with a similar rating. I guess we chose unwisely. * I understand you are an archery hunter, and you were gone hunting when we turned our animals in; so hunting in the season is reasonable and expected. But if you are going to run a WILD GAME PROCESSING BUSINESS, I would suggest your plan for accepting meat from the hunters in the community while you are absent is rock solid before you head out to secure your own animal. I no longer have any desire to have communication with you. There is no fix possible any longer at this point. Though I do see you redid your Yelp to get rid of the reviews from the other hunters on our trip with us that posted last year! Though not honest, it's understandable! To quote the first text I ever got from you "Are you serious?".

    Once in a Lifetime Idaho Moose Hunt-2025: It took me 30 years to draw a Idaho Moose tag and I took…read moremy Moose Quarters (4) into get processed at Get Your Meat LLC because I didn't have the time to do them myself due to Work. I asked the owner & filled out paperwork to Steak everything possible and hamburger the rest. So when I went to pick up my meat after 14 days, they showed me my meat in the freezer, and I was really surprised on the quantity. There were only 3 smaller boxes worth of meat for me. Something didn't seem right, so when I got home, I weighed the meat, and it came out to 109.0 lbs of Meat and 13.28 lbs of pepperoni. We had 80.0 lbs of Hamburger, 29.0 lbs of Steak/Roasts and 13.28 lbs of pepperoni (20.0 lbs of meat for pepperoni). The owner assured me that they were able to save a lot of the meat. So, after hearing that, I was really shocked to only get 29.0 lbs of steaks/roasts back. Studies show that a person should get over 500 lbs of processed meat off a Shiras Moose, so less than a quarter of that off 4 quarters blew my mind. Plus, I asked the owner & filled out paperwork to Steak everything possible & hamburger everything else, but we got 4 front quarter roasts which were included in those totals, but we didn't ask for any roasts at all. poor communication. One of Get Your Meat values from their website is that they thrive on giving you the most amount of meat possible from your game animal. That seems odd in my case. When I went inside to pay before going home, The Owner asked me if I had CASH, (Odd) and I told him that I had a Personal or Company Check or Debit Card. He was like; Debit card is fine, but seemed upset about it. On the drive home, I noticed that he charged me an additional $25 for Non-Cash Adjustment which I wasn't aware of, and he didn't say anything to me about it at the time of checkout. Not very Honest. Plus, when I cooked my very first pack of hamburger, I found a human hair in the meat. So overall, not a satisfied customer. A few days later, I was talking with a Idaho Fish & Game Warden, and he stated that it seemed very odd and something didn't seem right. He encouraged me to write a Review to make others aware of my situation. Something seemed very Fishy. It's no surprise as to why they charge by the animal and not by the pounds of meat. I could barely lift the quarters out of my vehicle when I dropped them off so to get 122.28 lbs of meat/pepperoni off 4 quarters; It was a total shocker and bad experience with my once in a Lifetime Idaho Moose! He doesn't have to worry about my game meat ever again, but wanted to warn or alert other people/hunters. Very disappointing! Proverbs 25:21-22 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you! Luke 23:34 "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." I have already forgiven them!
