    Grilled cheese with brisket
    Lyndsay S.

    Stick with the brisket and potato options! In fact just get the big grilled cheese and add brisket. Best thing on the menu! This place has tons of potential to grow and just needs to perfect a couple things (the smoked turkey was less than stellar but my own recipe is damn near perfect so it's hard to top). Will definitely come back.

    This place is unassuming and tucked away in the Indian Creek Plaza. On first look it appears to be a hole in the wall place, though once you walk in and turn the corner, it has limited inside seating, bar and a substantial patio area. The insides are dark but a cool vibe. Service was extremely friendly, loved the positive, happy care. Ordered a beer on tap, called "killer bees" to keep on brand with a Halloween theme. Small mason jar for the price but fresh and a great compliment to the meal. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with slaw, pickled red onions and a side of fries. Pork was incredibly tender and the portion was on the larger side which was appreciated. Slaw was a nice compliment, creamy and perfectly partnered with the pork, but the onions were oddly tangy to the point of skewing the other flavor profiles. Fries are almost like large scoops which is fun and different. Downside is the upcharge for using a credit card. Receipt was super confusing with the food and tax coming to a correct total, then a cheaper cash price which is less than food and tax. Loved the service and food was good! Would visit if in the area again.

    Once again the food at Chop Shop BBQ was absolutely amazing. The brisket Sandwich was so good. It had big thick pieces of meat and their in house made coleslaw! The Creek Fries add to the meal and make it terrific. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.

    Brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw

    I have eaten barbecue in virtually every state known for it, especially the south where I am from, so I am somewhat of a snob. I must admit I flinched (twice!) when I saw the cost of one brisket sandwich and a side at "Chop Shop" at Indian Creek Plaza in Caldwell, but I am willing to try most everything at least once. I felt it was a pretty good sandwich, though smaller than I expected for the price. That said, did it rate among the best brisket sandwiches I ever had? No; I have been to Texas. Was it worth $15.50? Also, no. I have been to Texas. But, I will cut them some slack, though, because: 1- It's in downtown Caldwell, Idaho, so "overhead." 2- They are doing that whole "hippie thing." You know, "locally sourced, farm-to-table, organic environmentally conscious" stuff, so more $$$. 3- They have a decent beer selection. 4- The people were nice and the service was great. The Coleslaw wasn't bad. I will very probably eat here again, but it's too expensive for what it is for me to make it a habit. That said, by 7 pm on a random Wednesday in August, every seat in the tiny little place was taken, so it is locally popular. The negative reviews about the place being dirty and the trays being unwashed did not prove to be true in my experience. I found the place clean and the tray I had was spotless. If you're looking for a real "barbecue joint," there are some better options in the valley, but if you're looking for a nice place in Caldwell to have a decent brisket sandwich and a draft beer, this place is for you. I have eaten better barbecue cooked on the roadside in a grill made from a cut-out 55-gallon oil drum, but I ate it while sitting on an unstable picnic table outside in the Texas heat, drinking Coke out of a Styrofoam cup. The 3-star rating is simply due to the stuff being overpriced in my opinion. It's like the owner is trying to do fusion "barbecue" and "fine dining." It works, for what it is, and where you eat it. We got to eat tonight sitting at a bar, indoors, in air conditioning with 90F temps outside, with a pretty, tattooed 20-something bartender gal chatting us up, rather than outside in Texas heat with some octogenarian Southern dude just slapping the food on a paper plate while grunting at us, so.... Also...no more fried okra? Seriously?

    It's good, but it's priced really high. It's bbq food anything over 100$ should not be served with plastic ware. We ate here and it felt like it was 11° in the entire building.

    Looking for a great dinner? Tonight we had the pleasure of eating at Chop Shop in Caldwell and it was nothing short of a great experience. From the moment we walked in the door- we were greeted with nothing but kindness. The service was prompt and the food was beyond delicious. At the end of our meal the owner came by our table and checked out the meal was! He was so nice and asked our son how his food was ( he's 2 so he didn't really respond ) but when Kris the owner asked him if he wanted ice cream his eyes lit up. Kris went out of his way and went Nextdoor to The Stil and bought 2 things of ice cream - one for my son and one for my nephew! What a gesture. We will forsure be back. Great service let alone above and beyond is hard to find these days!

    Tasty food  and friendly staff. Amazing people  and food.

The walls feature cute artwork, the facility is fully wheelchair accessible, and the parking lot is a decent size with easy parking. Service shines thanks to James. He was prompt, very welcoming, and even offered to get my pup a bowl of water. The speakers play a unique, diverse variety of music. The Drink: I tried the raspberry margarita. It was good but definitely alcohol-forward rather than flavor-forward. If you prefer a fruitier cocktail, keep this in mind. The Food: Being from Oklahoma, I have high standards for BBQ and cornbread. Unfortunately, the cornbread was a major disappointment. It tasted raw, underdone, and lacked that classic, rich cornbread flavor I was craving. For my main, I ordered the chipotle peach barbecue sliders. You get three toasted buns piled with moist, smoky pulled pork tossed in a chipotle peach BBQ sauce and topped with fresh coleslaw. The pork itself had a great smoky depth. The baked beans missed the mark for me. I expected a Texas-style BBQ bean, but these had a thin, smoky, light tomato sauce flavor that tasted a bit too close to canned tomato sauce.

It was about 1:45 pm on a Friday, and the place was fairly crowded. We were sat at a small booth for two, not my favorite table, but understandable that they would want to save their tables and booths for four for larger parties. It's very loud, hard to talk, so in tha sense the small booth we were in, set apart from the main seating area, was better for my wife and I to talk. Our server was Yulia, and she was delightful. Very nice, efficient, and attentive. Great service! We both had the classic burger, mine with the sharp cheddar it comes with, my wife sans cheese. 100% Wagyu beef, and cooked very nicely at medium. The bun was large and soft, very tasty and great texture. The fries were delicious; crispy and well seasoned, just great. They have a fry sauce that tasted like it had a bit of horseradish. I really liked it. Prices are very reasonable. In fact, I just had a burger at a nice restaurant in downtown Boise last week that had a smaller patty and bun, and cost $3 more. We will definitely be back to Holy Cow.

We typically always try a cinnamon roll (if they have it) and pancakes- my son ordered the chicken fried steak, which he really enjoyed- and I ordered the Idaho omelet, which was huge, and delicious. The cinnamon roll alone was worth the visit- and the pancakes were good too. The place itself is super cute diner vibes, and is split into two areas for seating.

She really was fantastic, and made the whole experience that much better. We will definitely be going back, trying other yummy items and telling others about it.

The sign said to seat ourselves so we grabbed a booth. A young woman came over immediately and brought us menus and water. Inside is very homey and family friendly. There are booth along the sides and back of the restaurant and tables for four as well as bigger round tables that would seat 7-8. Next to us was a young family of five kids and the wife was pregnant. We then sat for longer than we should. Finally, our server, Julia B, came over. She was very friendly and nice. She took our order: my wife wanted the Salisbury steak and I had the Pacific Omelet with hashbrowns and pancakes. My first clue that things were not as they should be was when Julia asked my wife how she wanted her Salisbury steak cooked. Hmmm. The food took longer than it should to come out, but that was OK because we were in no hurry. When it did come out, my wife and I both looked at the "Salisbury Steak" and realized that, in fact, it was not what it was supposed to be. Instead, it was an actual steak. On the other hand, my omelet, with bacon crumbles and Swiss cheese, was good, my hashbrowns were extra crispy as I asked for, and the pancakes, which the cook forgot to make but that came out pretty quickly anyway, were pretty good. My wife ordered one of their giant cinnamon buns to go. We didn't see Julia for a time, and so my wife flagged down another server and asked if what she had was Salisbury steak. As expected the server said no. Julia came over shortly after. I said, "My wife ordered the Salisbury steak." Julia said, "Yes?". I said, "That's not Salisbury steak." She then realized her mistake and apologized repeatedly. What my wife received was the Iron Skillet Steak. Not sure about the misunderstanding. Julia offered to make the Salisbury steak to go, but my wife, being very nice and considerate, told her she'd be OK with the Iron Skillet Steak. Julia then comped the cinnamon bun, which I appreciated. She was trying to make things right. And again, she was very nice. We think we will give Mr. V's another chance at sometime in the future.

When you attach those sort of prices you need to come with your "A" regardless how busy it was.
