    Rude Boi
    Monique W.

    Came here on a Saturday night around 730. Super busy, but the customer service was still spot on. The ladies at the front were so friendly and welcoming. Our server Matt was welcoming and helpful the whole time. He was very apologetic about it being so busy. It's not his fault that it was busy. The burger was absolutely delicious. We split the Rude Boi and got fries as a side. The fries were nice and crispy. The only way fries should be served. Their fry sauce had great flavor. Most places it has absolutely no flavor, so I was very happy that theirs tasted as great as it did. Their ranch was also really great. I have no idea if it was homemade or from a jar, but it was delicious also. If I didn't live SE Boise I would visit this restaurant more often.

    Good burgers and chicken sandwiches. Nice side dishes. Good cheesecake. We beat the wait Sunday a little before noon.

    Our first time here and we love it! The food was great and came out quick. We had to wait a bit for the table but only 20 min during peak dinner time on a Friday night so I'm upset about that at all. We got fried pickles, burgers, and pulled pork. The server gave us great recommendations. Will 100% be coming back

    This was a really enjoyable American style restaurant. It was a fun and open atmosphere with interesting art work. We were seated as soon as we entered and had our waitress at our table right away to take our drink orders. And she was always available. We tried the elk sliders and they were amazing, and the tater tots were cooked perfect. We tried a few of their local IPAs and they were served cold in a cold glass. Our overall experience was good. They gave you a lot of food and everything tasted good. Seating is spaced well so you are never sitting next to others. The music was not loud so it was easy to have conversations. I would recommend this place for families or couples or even if you are by yourself. They have an enjoyable bar area with seating. We were traveling and felt lucky to find this restaurant.

    Ask the Community - Holy Cow

    Hi! Can't wait to try your burgers. Please confirm whether you have a dedicated fryer for gluten free fries? I called your restaurant & was told that you do have a dedicated fryer for fries BUT fry beer-battered fries in them (not gluten free). TY!

    I can confirm that they do not have a dedicated fryer for their fried foods.

    Are the fries cooked in a shared fryer?

    No there is a dedicated fry fryer

    Where is the best place to park when coming here? Does it have its own parking lot?

    There is free street parking on the same block as Holy Cow, and and surrounding ones. If those are all full there is a free city lot next to the train depot.

    I was at an event in Nampa the other night and ordered food online from Whiskey River because it…read morewas close to the venue. Within seconds, I received a text that my order had been received, but not confirmed, and to watch for a confirmation text. After 30 minutes, I still had not received a confirmation text, so I messaged asking for an approximate time. The reply stated they were "slammed" and that my order would be ready in about 30 minutes. After another 45 minutes, I still had not received any communication from them, so I decided to walk over to check on my order, hoping that it would be ready. The first thing I noticed was that there were not a lot of customers inside. I informed the server behind the bar that I was there to pick up my order, and she went back to check. When she returned, she told me that there were no pickup orders. I showed her the email with my order number and told her that I never received a confirmation from them. She went back into the kitchen, then came back and said they didn't have my order, but could make it while I waited - about 10 minutes. I reluctantly agreed and waited. When I got my order, I asked for a few extra cups of sauce. The server was put off, as if asked to perform an overwhelming task. Needless to say, I left the establishment with a less-than-favorable taste in my mouth. 24 hours later, I received a text from them that my order was confirmed and would be ready to be picked up. I texted back that this was 24 hours late and to cancel the order. The reply was that their texting service was unavailable, and to call for questions. I then replied to the confirmation email, hoping that would get through to them. No such luck. The reply I received said that delivery had failed - that their email box was full. I will say that the food was good, and that the server was mainly friendly. However, the whole online ordering system needs some serious revamping. I hope that Whiskey River will take this review as constructive criticism so that future customers will have an easier, smoother online ordering experience.

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.

No windows or natural light, but it wasn't too dark inside. Lots of tables and seating options, a couple of pool tables, nice looking patio. Me and a couple friends went on a Sunday around 11am and it was pretty busy. Lots of variety on their menu. I started with their bacon bloody mary, which was really good. For food I tried the Reuben with curly fries. The sandwich was excellent. Super hot! The fries were curly fries. Nothing special, but not bad either. Everything was very reasonably priced! I will say service was very slow. Friendly, but it looked like their were only two servers. Maybe one bartender and a couple of cooks. Drinks and food just took a long time to come out. One of my friends got a burger and said it was delicious. There are a few things I definitely want to come back and try. Not sure I'd sit on their patio. It seemed a lot of people were going out their to smoke. I even smelled it when I came in the back entrance. If it was no-smoking it would be a fun place for happy hour!
