    Service is very good. The ambiance for a barbecue place is very nice. The food is decent, but certainly isn't Texas or KC barbecue. We ordered burnt ends 3.5/5, Caesar salad 5/5, corn bread 3/5, turkey breast 4/5, mom's potato salad 3.5/5, beans 4/5, baked potato 4/5, and berry cobbler 4.5/5. Nice they gave us the cobbler for my birthday.

    Picked up some dinner tonight, chosen because they had smoked turkey and were VERY close to the hotel I was staying (walking distance). I went "all out" and got their 3 meat plate. I chose chicken, turkey ($2 upcharge) and sausage. I also had to try their chili. Food was packaged well for travel! I was thinking chili is chili, until I removed the top. Look at those chunks of beef!! They even brought me more onions and cheese (my favorites)! This place smelled amazing and everyone was super friendly!! If you're ever in Boise Idaho, give them a try!

    I got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious! It had Goodwoods own bbq sauce on it, which complimented the brisket beautifully. For the side I got the potato salad and dang it was loaded with hard boiled eggs, and very delicious! My server was friendly and very attentive. I got a slice of the Texas sheet cake to go, and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. If I lived local this would be a new spot for me to frequent. If I am ever back in Boise again, I will certainly come back.

    OH MY GOSH! THIS PLACE IS JUST AMAZING!! Our 1st time here but meats are just so good, juicy and so soft! Service is also spectacular. We had Kayla M and she was very attentive and always checking on us and our needs! The manager was also great and checked in on us! We love it here and we will definitely be back The place also has great vibe and match the rustic ambiance !

    Tri tip salad
    Cheri N.

    Saturday, early lunch at Goodwood barbecue for the first time. It smelled so good before I walked in with all the smells of barbecue. The ambience is that of a chain restaurant with a warmth to the decor and it appears very clean. I ordered a tri-tip salad with their bbq ranch dressing for the menu price of $15.95. I expected this to be a ginormous salad but sadly it arrived in a large soup bowl. This medium salad was very modest, very demure, and very basic. It had four modest slices of tri-tip atop the salad. A tiny cornbread muffin and butter was on the side. I was starving so I dug in and ate the whole salad. It was very tasty and very satisfying. It was the perfect amount for one person. Very, very expensive to eat out nowadays Goodwood just reminded me of that. Service was very attentive, and our food came out quickly . I'd have to rate the salad just four stars out of five. I wouldn't rate the salad down for the value because this is just the going rate of food and downsizing that most restaurants have to do to stay afloat. I really can't attest to the quality of their barbecue since I only had a salad. I can say, though that the four small pieces of tri-tip on the salad were just OK.

    Great food and fast, friendly service. Food was hot and delicious! We had pulled pork that was smoked and really tender. The bbq sauce does have a kick to it. I suggest getting the sauce on the side just incase its too spicy for you.

    Nice place with plenty of tables. The smell of BBQ hit me as I walked in. They have cocktails and beer on tap. The décor is nice. I ordered the open face burnt end brisket samminch. It was okay, but wasn't very warm. This is a knife and fork meal, since the bread isn't toasted. Not a big serving of meat, but it was adequate. The steak fries were decent but not hot. I thought the squeeze was going to do her own rating so I didn't take a picture of her Cobb salad. Compared to about every other eatery we've been to that has main salads for around $15, this looked like a side salad. Peighton did a fine job as our server. We we had 9 people at the table, so they added a 22% tip on the bill. My problem is, I tipped 22% to the Governor since they figure the tip after taxes. So I actually tipped 23.5% on our meal. I know they all do this, but it should stop. Just an average meal.

    Goodwood Barbecue was one of the first restaurants I had in Meridian and it was a great experience! Parking was not an issue as it's situated in a large plaza, but it can get busy during peak hours. The service here is on top of their game. All of the staff were courteous, quick and friendly. We ordered the lunch special combo platter with Smoked Chicken and Pulled Pork as well as the Burnt Ends Brisket with Mike's Baked Mac & Cheese. Our personal favorite was the Burnt Ends Brisket -- so flavorful and tender! We also loved the barbecue sauce itself here. It has a nice citrus undertone that not many barbecue places I've previously had do. Absolutely recommend this place if you're in the area!

    Went with family and had a great experience. Wasn't too busy around noon and got seated immediately, host at front was nice. Food took about 15-20 minutes to be served and we shared 4 sandwiches - The Pit and press, the club, honey stung chicken sandwich, and barbecue brisket sandwiches (all delicious). Server was very nice and efficient. Bathrooms were clean and the music wasn't loud. Host opened the door for us on the way out. Great experience!

    It was raining so I decided to stop in for some clam chowder and salad. Amelie's did not…read moredisappoint. I travel to main yearly and eat clam chowder. I am no expert but I know this clam chowder is superb! Oh and that slice of bread? It was like a little crispy cloud of buttery goodness. I was only disappointed my husband wasn't there to share one of the seafood boils with. This would be a great date spot. One major tip if you go: save room for a slice of the brandy walnut cheesecake or get a slice to go. You will not regret it!!!

    The young owner (also the chef) seems a nice guy but he is running a bad restaurant and our (one…read moreand done) experience was a miserable one for ambiance, service and food. My husband and I went in at lunchtime (same menu all day) because I read high praise for the schnitzel here on another site and some local radio personality called it "the coolest place ever". (Who ARE these people?) It wasn't planned destination dining, but we were near the Boise mall and and I remembered Amelie's was nearby. I should have know better (but hope springs eternal) because I knew the backstory here. Let's start with that. BACKSTORY: Amelie's is the second format for eatery (if at first you don't succeed...you know the rest of that maxim) by owner Jason Wang in a building that was once McGrath's Fish House (now defunct) and became O'Crab (chain franchise) and then with this owner Country Bay Bistro, a largely seafood boils kinda place in 2021'ish. That didn't work out (for all kinds of reasons) and earlier this year the owner announced a new name, Amelie's (after his wife), that he said would be a French focused food place, to quote him, "...bringing timeless flavors and elegant French charm to Boise." Remember that mission description. What could possibly go wrong in reimagining the cavernous space, with fishing dock and net'ish decor, in that Spectrum location with a seafood boil menu and making it ""...timeless flavors and elegant French charm" ? Turns out the answer is a lot can go wrong. I feel sorry for this owner who seems a good guy, but this bad eatery likely won't last long. SERVICE & VIBE: When we arrived at 12:45'ish, a dark haired young woman dressed in all tee and pants with dark hoodie (that seemed perhaps kitchen attire) was standing alongside the host-stand talking to a man who was seated on a bench drinking coffee. She looked at us as if surprised to see us enter and after a significant pause asked "Do you want a table?" We said we did. She led the way to the dining room, which had no lights on and where we were the only customers except for a man at the bar eating a small green salad (he was still there when we left an hour later), invited us to choose where we'd like to sit among the long tables (all topped with white butcher paper like a motif remaining from the seafood boil days) or step up booths along the walls and asked if we wanted to start with a beverage. (We declined.) A while later she returned to take our orders and left the big menus sitting in front of us. I moved them to the side of the table to get them out of our way (where they remained until the check was delivered). Some time later she returned with our food in three different trips from the kitchen. We didn't see her again until my husband walked out to the front desk (to find her on the phone) to tell her we were ready for our check. When she returned to the table to bring us the check (finally picking up the menus as she said "let me get these out of the way") she asked if we needed take-away boxes since there was a lot of food remaining on both plates. We declined. This was not a person trained in food service. Not her fault. That is a management issue to provide training. About 1:30'ish, towards the end of our meal, a man in an O'Crab shirt appeared from the kitchen and, from behind the bar, finally turned on the lights in the restaurant. French elegant charm this is not. FOOD & $: The menu has several seafood options, like fish and chips and some western Euro options like three kinds of schnitzel. Since the chicken form of this is the dish to which the other diner awarded high praise, this is what I ordered. Per the menu, I expected, "Crisp, golden-breaded cutlet...topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, melted mozzarella garnished with lemon and fresh herbs". What I received was a cutlet so cooked to smithereens that it was difficult to cut, a lettuce salad on the plate (not fresh herbs) with an off taste (as if dressing had gone bad), a lemon wedge and a thick brown'ish sauce that was inedible (delivered to table in gravy boat, no less). My husband didn't fare much better with his choice. The coating on the "crispy beer-battered halibut " fish and chips did not stick to it and while the white fish was flaky it was also tasteless, almost wet textured. The best part of both meals were the French fries and that was largely thanks to the ketchup to dunk them in. The total for the two dishes was just under $40 with tax. Low prices and low quality. NOTE: The owner also advertises this as an event and wedding venue. I am not kidding. PARKING: Private lot. ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking in front. Tables are standard height but so close together that it will be difficult for a wheelchair user to sit anywhere but on the end of the tables coming in. LOOKING FOR CLASSIC FRENCH FARE AND CHARM?: Bacquet's in Eagle is the place.

(Also pointing out the owners used to be really close friends) 100% do not give these people your money. I have the receipts and photo proof from the past two years. OH BOY ALMIGHTY. I am not a person to write reviews but this one deserves A LOT. I've been a regular at Dusty Rose Reserve for quite some time, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I came in as I normally do and was immediately subjected to crude and inappropriate comments from a patron who was making repeated remarks about my appearance. He called me a "four eyes" and a "fucking ginger" because I wear glasses and have red hair. I initially brushed it off and went to sit back down because I wasn't there looking for a confrontation. Later, I went back to the bar simply to ask for some salt for my food. The same man looked at me and said, "They're out of salt, just like you're out of shorts." That comment was heard by multiple regulars and new patrons, and I want to give credit where it's due: several people immediately stood up for me and made it very clear that his behavior was unacceptable. I genuinely appreciated the people who spoke up. Then we found out this wasn't just some random patron. Apparently, this man was the newly hired manager. The bartender working that night was on only his THIRD DAY. When he attempted to address the situation and remove the manager, the manager threatened him by saying, "Remember who writes your schedule. Are you sure you want to do this?" Think about that for a second. A brand-new employee was being threatened with his job by the manager because he tried to stand up for a customer who was being sexually inappropriate and verbally harassed. The owner also threatened to ban us from the establishment for calling out HIS BARTENDER'S behavior. At that point, my friend contacted the owner because we have a longstanding relationship with the owners. Unfortunately, that conversation did not go well. The owner became angry and hung up on my friend. I then called myself because I wanted to speak with Rosie directly, hoping that another woman might better understand why I was upset and uncomfortable with what had happened. Instead, I was told that the manager had already been fired and that it was "not fair" that my friend had supposedly called to yell at his wife. For the record, my friend is one of the most genuinely kind and non-confrontational people I know. He was frustrated, yes, but he is not someone who goes around screaming at people. I repeatedly asked to speak with Rosie directly and was refused. Eventually, I ended the call with, "Thank you for firing the guy, but no thanks on this yelling," and hung up. I'm glad the manager was ultimately fired. However, the fact that it took customers standing up for me, a brand-new bartender putting his job on the line, and multiple phone calls before anything was done is extremely concerning. I've spent a lot of time at Dusty Rose Reserve and have supported this establishment as a regular. I genuinely hope the owners take this situation seriously... not just because of what happened to me, but because of how a newly hired employee was treated when he attempted to do the right thing. No woman should have to walk into a bar and be subjected to comments about her body or clothing, and no employee should be threatened with their schedule for trying to protect a customer. I appreciate the patrons who stood up for me, and I sincerely hope the bartender who was put in that position knows that he did the right thing.

    So yummy, local and delicious! Unassuming, great menu and awesome service!! Wine list was good,…read morespecials were delicious and our girls night was fantastic

    I moved to right down State St from the Local, so my parents and I have been here twice now…read more The first time was amazing food, but the service wasn't great, super rude and impatient. The reason we went back the second time was because we remembered how good the food was and how nearby it was too. The second time the food was still really good, but the service was HORRENDOUS. Brittney was such a ***** to me and my parents, my mom especially. My mom was complimenting her and something about the food, and she straight up just walked away in the middle of my mom still talking. And no it wasn't busy. It was towards the end of the night, there was maybe 2-3 other customers there. She acted like we were bothering her the whole time. Then once she'd leave us would just stand up at the bar flirting with the other guy working there and just ignore anyone else. Then on top of all of that, my dad tells me she added $10 onto her tip! FRAUD!!! I've attached photos as evidence. My dad still tipped her even though she was so rude and disrespectful. But apparently that wasn't enough for her and added $10 onto the total. I cannot believe that. And my dad tells me it was difficult to get his $10 back after calling and talking to the manager. He didn't get the name of the manager but he said that they were just making excuses and saying oh but she's our best server. Obviously not! Saying things like oh she must've just been really busy. Again, we were there when it was dead and about to close soon, no it was not busy. It's almost as if this business does this type of thing often because there was no alarm from the manager, then finally after much deliberation decided to send back the $10. Absolutely ridiculous. No : "I'm so sorry here's a free meal on us", or atleast a "here's a coupon or gift card for next time you come in", nothing. This is the type of thing that gets people closed down. We should report to the BBB. This is insane. And to not be offered anything to make it right is what really gets me. Like do they not want us to ever come back??? Not to mention tell everyone we know, etc. Yikes! And this is what we get for wanting to support local businesses instead of going to the big chains. What a bummer.
