We came here for the first time today and were initially impressed. Alex greeted us right away and got our drinks quickly -- he was friendly, attentive, and made a great first impression. Unfortunately, we weren't able to order food because we had to catch a movie. However, during our visit, we overheard who we believe to be one of the owners (his photos were displayed on the wall) speaking poorly about employees and referring to them as "idiots." That alone was disappointing, but hearing it within earshot of customers felt extremely unprofessional. As a long-time business owner myself, I firmly believe you are only as strong as your team. Respecting employees -- especially publicly -- is critical to a healthy work environment and strong customer experience. It was uncomfortable to witness and ultimately the reason we won't be returning. I genuinely felt sorry for the staff working that shift. Additionally, it appeared that both owners may have been drinking while on shift, which also felt unprofessional. One of them did approach us and seemed very sweet, but after overhearing the earlier comments, it unfortunately changed the entire atmosphere for us. The overall ambiance was decent, and Alex did a great job. It's just disappointing when leadership undermines what could otherwise be a positive experience. read more

My wife and I really enjoyed our experience for lunch at the Dusty Rose Reserve. The service was great, exactly what you expect from a brewery. We decided to use some of their available card games while we were waiting for lunch and it helped add to our excellent afternoon. Started off our meal with the Keg Tots and they were cooked perfectly. I ordered the finger steaks which were plentiful and tasty, as were the fries. I really liked their choice of bbq sauce. My wife had the mac and cheese which was great (note: a big spicier than expected). The also have a large selection of drinks. We'll definitely be back and if you are in the area I would encourage others to check them out. read more

54 taps and some good bar food. We watched the Rams defeat da Bears. This is a great place for pool, food and drinks. Full bar. read more

Dusty Rose Reserve - One pilsner - American Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

See all

Good news ... HUGE wall of draft beers. The sandwiches and wraps come with a side even though not listed on their menu. . Bad news ... if you don't pick which side, they're going to choose for you! . Great news ... they were able to swap out the side quickly, and I got a beautiful side salad! Only one person working up front, but she was able to handle my situation with a smile and still stay on top of her game with all the other customers. . So-so news ... sodas are served in a can for take-out, no cups and lids. . Final news ... located on the end of a shopping plaza with plenty of close, free parking. I would return when I had more time to stay, and try more of the menu. read more

Dusty Rose Reserve - Side salad - American Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

If you have not been here in a while, you need to come back and visit. The owners have transformed it into a welcoming place where you can meet friends for dinner or just relax with drinks. They have 52 beers on tap and a full bar. Service was excellent and the owners and staff make you feel welcome and appreciated. I had a Tri Tip wrap that was tender and flavorful. This is a nice place and we will be back frequently. read more

- Great selection of beer. - Friendly staff. - Plenty of screens to watch games. - Local art. This is a special place--check them out! read more

so cute, the employees are super nice and food was good! A wide selection of drinks too

This place is great!! Not too spendy, many beer and food choices, and it's all great!! I feel the love and the passion these two have. We WILL be back! read more

The food was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our casual dining experience. Would visit again.

Cute spot, great beer selection, games and pool. Good appetizers and a fun atmosphere.

This place is such a mess, unfortunately. The additional space when you walk in to the right is literally an empty room with a couple awkward pictures on the wall, couple of tvs and chairs. Seems odd and doesn't fit the rest of the building. Drinks were alright and the food was an absolute joke for the price. Unless you want to pay upwards of $15 or more for frozen chicken strips and appetizers. Could've purchased our own bags of frozen stuff from Winco and popped it into the air frier for cheaper. Service was alright; weren't many people (I think 1 other group of 4 people who clearly knew the owners) in the place when we were. So not much to take care of in the service department when you have no one to attend to. We love to support local small places but this one was a bust unfortunately. read more

Found this little gem during a work trip and I would definitely go back! The service was excellent. The company, top notch and the openness of the location was inviting and comfortable. I recommended it here in the Meridian area. read more

Met up here with a small group. We wanted to support local business, and this is surely that. The owners are working it every day, and have poured everything they have into it. They expanded the space from the previous tenants, but the new additional space lacks any ambiance. White walls, no theme to the space. It looks clean though. The friends I was with stated, "well, this isn't what I was expecting." Not so much in a negative sense, but just being honest about the ambiance, as there is so much competition in the area. The original tenant space looks cool, a craft brew, growler type bar. They have signage saying Order Here, at the bar, but if there is enough staff, which I suspect isn't often, they will come to your table. Service for me was friendly, but sub bar. Instead of offering things like water, utensils, menus, condiments, you had to ask for them. Each and every time. There were no recommendations or specials or favorites offered up. The food was good! Flatbreads, fish, salads! Oh my! Once served, there was no hurry to clear the table, so if you still want to stay and drink, maybe have dessert, all of the dirty dishes were still in front of you. I'm sure because of staffing. This is a great space, only a year old, and definitely has potential, but they need to draw people in and have a bigger identity than "we fell in love, bought this place, and here we are." I'd love to see a wall of chalkboard art, or a mural, or a grouping of sentimental photos, rather than spaced out to fill the wall...I hope they succeed, but for right now, I'm just crossing my fingers. read more

Must visit! The keg tots are spectacular and the tacos were some of the best I've had in idaho! Will definitely be scheduling to come back and meet friends! read more

Great, rotating beer selection and the food is really good. My favorites are the buffalo chicken mac-n-cheese, the nachos with carnitas, and the Pepperoni & Sausage flatbread. The staff and owners are supper nice. I highly recommend! read more

The service and food here is awesome! I love the beer selection and with the addition liquor, this is my wife's and I favorite place to stop in Meridian. They queso is the best we've had. read more

Disappointed. We went for dinner, but food seems to be an afterthought here. This is clearly a bar that happens to serve food. And the food wasn't spectacular, especially the salsa. The chips were broken and small. The food was not worth the price. The atmosphere is lackluster and service was subpar. We weren't sure if we were to find our own table or order at the front and no one was very helpful even when we clearly looked confused. read more

Good good for bar food the beer selection great, with cider and wine. Great place to meet friends and relax

I'll be back! Had the finger steaks this time (some of the best I've had!) Can't wait to try other stuff on their menu. Great food and awesome beer selection! Thanks Dusty! Job well done! read more

The employees and owner are welcoming and friendly! There is a large selection of beer and cider on tap plus cocktails, and wine! Currently just a couple snacks available but the kitchen is opening soon and will have a variety of apps and entrees! Lots of bar and table seating, light atmosphere, friendly staff, friendly customers, and most importantly great drinks! This was the old Growler Guys location, and they have made only the best improvements! read more

The owners were super nice and friendly. The food was great and their food was really tasty. Can't wait to go back to Boise and go this place again read more

Wide selection of Beer and other options w/ great food from Great people. My favorite Beer spot in Meridian.

I came across this place the other day and let me tell you - it is a hidden gem. After a day out shopping with my daughter, we were both hungry and looking for a place we could grab a quick bite and a drink. Upon entering, the owner welcomed us and explained the menu to us. She was so kind and suggested some really yummy appetizers as well as the beer menu. They have over 52 beers on tap so my eyes were a little crossed but I tried the apple beer that she recommended. It was out of this world! We also enjoyed the nachos and the presentation of the food. The atmosphere was friendly and lively and we immediately felt like part of the family. We will definitely be back. Thank you Dusty Rose Reserve for an awesome experience! - Cheryl B. read more

Friendly neighborhood beer pub. I would come more if there was a cheaper happy hour.

We love Dusty Rose! We've been more than a few times and the staff is always friendly, the drink selection is awesome, and the food - don't get me started! We've never had anything bad, but the onion rings are something we crave. If you haven't been to Dusty Rose, you are missing out! read more

Such a great local place to hang out. Everyone is super friendly. The owners are great. The beer selection phenomenal. Food is delicious. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Was denied service because I have the new Idaho ID. The beertender, Cody, claimed my form of identification was not valid because it is not a star card. Be aware, if you have the new ID and do not have the star card he thinks you are not able to use it for alcohol purchases. Management should educate their staff on how to read IDs. Since it's not a star card AKA idahos version of the 'Real ID' it reads "not acceptable for Real ID official purposes". Guy doesn't know what he is talking about and seemed to have a weird power trip read more

great people and great service. food was amazing : ). definitely recommend this to anyone in the area
