    Gluten free turkey
    Lindsey G.

    This place was poppin! So busy so I knew my sandwich was about to be amazing. And it was, so good! I will be going back. Their gluten free bread was great and the potato salad was one of the best I've ever had. Small inside but we managed to grab a table. Cute vibe!

    Delicious sandwiches and warm, friendly service! My chicken bahm mi with salad was so good! Ate every bite! Hubby tried the Maison Thon tuna sandwich and loved it too. We had bonus tastes of the potato salad and hubby, who doesn't normally eat mayo, devoured it. Thanks to Ethan and adorable Sierra for a great first experience at Don & Charley's!

    Awesome sandwiches! The Italian deli was piled high with meat and I love that you can get it as a sandwich or salad (or gluten free bun). They have fountain sodas, lemonade, and adult bevs if you want. Easy, casual, order at the counter spot for lunch.

    This was our lunch spot on our road trip west. I'm adding my great review to the ones already posted. When we entered we were greeted and given instructions on ordering and such. It was super busy and we found the last two stools near the bar which was fun because we got to watch them make the sandwiches. We chose the Italian sandwich and split it. Good choice as it was a rather large portion. So many fresh ingredients and outstanding crusty bread. They warm up the bread and use a blow torch to melt the cheese. The method creates a toasty, warm sandwich but also gives the edges a nice crisp. So good. The meal comes with chip (bag of Lays). Would have loved to have kettle chips as an option. Everything was so good. Staff was super busy but were getting in-house and take-out orders done quickly. Loved the hand painted mural of leaves in the restaurant. So glad we made the detour off the freeway to have lunch here.

    The food was absolutely amazing. Best tuna I've ever had! The staff was wonderful and friendly. It was such a great experience. This was a random stop for us and beyond what we could have ever expected. Thank you for such a fabulous lunch!!!!

    Great Italian Sandwhich! Loaded with meat and bread, the Italian Deli is a balance of savory yet sweet. Potato salad, get it. Owner is attentive and friendly, was able to order and get my meal in 15 mins even with the lunch rush. A few open seats in the restaurant otherwise you kinda hover in a corner, restroom in the back corner.

    Turkey and bacon sandwich with potato salad

    My husband and I stopped in today for lunch and loved both of our sandwiches (he got the Italian deli and I got the turkey & bacon). Both had plenty of delicious meat and a yummy herb and garlic aioli. By far my favorite part, however, was the ciabatta--soooo good! I chose the potato salad as my side and while it had a good dill flavor, I think I may have gotten a salty batch today. Worth a try though as multiple reviews state it's the best potato salad they've ever had. The shop itself is pretty small with only a handful of seats so it does fill up quickly as it seems to be a popular spot. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

    My boyfriend and I had to drop off friends at the Boise airport so we decided to grab lunch. This place is legit great sandwiches and all fresh ingredients. If you were in downtown Boise definitely stop by and check this place out!

    Boise, ID Went out of our way so that we could stop at this sandwich shop. It came with such great reviews. Driving from Oregon to Salt Lake took a side trip just for this. DELICIOUS!!!! You must come here. Not many Yelp reviews live up to their stars. This one exceeded it. Walked in and Charly greeted us right away. Pleasant and kind. Asked if we had been in before. Then proceeded to offer us ideas of sandwiches to choose from, going into detail describing the sandwich. Went with the turkey. Lots of meat, pickled onions, honey mustard, pepperonci and more. The best part is the bread. Fantastic! We told them we were going to split one sandwich and they did it for us in the kitchen and gave us both ample amount of chips. Very clean restaurant! Very clean bathrooms! Stopped by Boise State after eating here and told a few employees right away about this place. They are local and had not heard of it but said they were going to put it on their must go to list. I am so impressed with this. I hope my business brings me back through town so I can come again.

    The chicken bahn mi was sooo good. It's very small in there so to-go is probably the best option but totally worth it.

I came here for a late lunch around 2 pm after arriving in Boise. They weren't crowded at this point but business wasn't dead either. My waitress was very friendly. Inside has a lived-in, intimate feel, but it was pretty dark, so much that I wasn't sure they were actually open as I was opening the door. I had the French dip sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious and tasted homemade in the best way. The "meat" of the sandwich was seitan. I don't THINK it was a perfect meat replica (but I've never had a real French dip), but it was very flavourful. I loved the flavour and the thick cut of their bread, but it didn't have much structure and fell apart easily as I was eating which made the sandwich very messy. The tomato basil soup was a little different. It was slightly creamy but brothy and a little chunky - not a smooth puree. Again, it tasted great and was nice and light, which was a good contrast to the very rich sandwich. It was a little slow, especially considering they weren't that busy. I didn't really mind since I wasn't on a schedule, but this is something to be aware of - don't come here for a quick meal. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality.

The restaurant was cute, and I was excited to try it. I ordered the grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich with tomato basil soup. I liked the bread of the sandwich, it was pretty hearty. The cheese wasn't very melty. My friend got a French dip sandwich, she only ate half and brought the rest back to our Airbnb. The next day when we were departing, she offered it to me for my drive home. The service was ok, it wasn't the friendliest. Prices were a little steep. If I lived nearby, I would come back and give another try.

    TEMPORARILY CLOSED AS OF 12/1/25 per letter posted on eatery door. See excerpts below…read more I was a big fan of this eatery under original owners but not so much since the current owners took over. So, I don't weep for their need to re-evaluate but realize fans will be disappointed. If you have gift cards you can use them at St. Lawrence Gridiron or Rustica, two other Boise downtown restaurants with the same owners. From the letter on door: "As many know, there has been a significant slowdown in consumer spending, especially in restaurants starting late 2024. We've done our very best to keep prices in line with what makes sense to cover costs and provide full benefits for our amazing staff," the letter said. "However, with sales down across all entities this year, we must re-evaluate our operations and make the necessary difficult decisions to be a sustainable business. Also, for the first time in many years, we recently lost two key people in our organization, and they both were a large part of what made Wild Root special. Last, we are heading into the slower, winter months. Instead of scrambling to keep the doors open, we are going to shut it down to evaluate everything."

Food was good too. I thought I ordered Eggs Benedict but I was given two eggs without hollandaise sauce instead. I didn't complain. I still ate it and everything was delicious. Service was quick so I'll definitely give this place another try.

Our server, Jared, was so professional, shared specific knowledge about the dishes and cocktails as well as spent time talking with us as people, not just another table to wait on. We both had the Percy burgers and salad which is outstanding in flavor and presentation. We came back tonight for dinner and happened to have Jared again. We also met Erin, a manager. Both continued to surpass expectations of the kindness one receives at a dining experience. Notably the staff works together in such a cohesive team that our waters are always filled up and our plates are always removed or brought at perfect timing like a symphony. We were blessed and surprised with "on the house" carrot cake as well tonight which was so delicious I can't stop thinking about it. It you are looking for a new favorite dining spot in Boise, make Percy your number one! Ask for Jared and Erin and your experience will be like no other. Oh yeah, the short ribs are AMAZING!!!!
