Boise Bodega is right next to my hotel which was the Sparrow, and the Sparrow Hotel was immaculate…read more like weirdly clean. so that already set the tone for the day. walked into the bodega and immediately noticed everything was laid out very intentionally. not in a fancy way, just in a way that made sense. cheaper stuff first, then normal priced stuff, then the more expensive stuff. i liked that because it let me mentally commit to how much money i was about to spend before i actually spent it. felt respectful. the guy running the place had immaculate vibes. calm. friendly. not doing too much. he was wearing a UCLA sweatshirt which caught my eye because i've got family members who go there. i asked him if he went to UCLA. he said no, but he's reppin it for me. that made me laugh and honestly set the mood for the rest of the visit. whole place felt super chill. no rush. no weird energy. just a solid neighborhood spot that knows exactly what it is. grabbed what i needed and left in a better mood than when i walked in, which is not something i can say about most convenience stores. liked it enough that when i got back home i actually told people about this place, which i almost never do. usually i forget places the second i leave them. would go back. good store. good guy. good system.

I admit, I had taken "all of my meds" and might have been a little duh, but he seemed unaffected by this.

By the way, the hot dogs were awesome. This is the store we go to when we have a "hankerin" for a hot dog in our part of town. As usual, we were quite pleased. Thanks Jackson's, and thanks to you too Micheal.

It's…read moreconveniently located on the corner of State Street and Ellen's Ferry Dr. I love the fact that it's right behind the apartments I live in and everytime I go in the staff is always friendly no matter what time of day it is. I literally have been pumping gas here for 2 years it's the only place I really pump gas at because it's super convenient for all of us who live down the road. I'll even sometimes walk around the fence to pick up some sodas when we have guest over. It has 4 gas pumps and they sell diesel and I've even got my propane tank exchanged there for like $25 bucks or so. The only down side about this place, is they charge for air to fill up your tires but that's just me being babied from the last gas station I used to frequent. Over all it's my preferred gas station and not just because of the walk in beer fridge LOL. Oh and BTW they don't have an outlet for those fancy electric cars.

Yesterday, we experienced another unpleasant situation with the quality of food prepared in the…read morestore. We purchased fish that appeared to be leftover from the end of the day. The employee who served us stated that it had been prepared that day and identified it as flounder. When we returned home, we shared the fish with our entire family, including a child. We ate only about one-third of it. By the next morning, everyone became ill, experiencing fever, chills, bloating, and diarrhea. We could not eat anything the following day except water and bananas. This was a very unpleasant experience, and we are concerned that the fish may have been expired, improperly stored, or undercooked. Upon closer inspection, the actual piece of fish appeared to be very small, while most of the surrounding coating had a grayish color and a spongy, sticky, and undercooked texture. It almost seemed as though additional filler had been used to increase the product's weight. The taste was not fresh at all, and it had an odor similar to an old fish tank. The fish seemed old and may have been stored in the freezer for an extended period of time. The surrounding substance resembled soggy breading or undercooked batter. Overall, something seemed very wrong with the product. Customers should be especially cautious when purchasing this type of food for their children.We had to throw the food away, resulting in a complete waste of money. This situation appears to have been caused by poor judgment or unprofessional handling of the product, which is very disappointing from a customer standpoint.

Putting my money where my mouth is. Stopped in a couple weeks ago for the first time and and wrote…read morein my last visit that this joint would be a great place to get Idaho merch as a souvenir. My husband and I are heading to Georgia next week and wanted to get a small gift for our host. So, JD's was the first place we thought about hitting up. There are so many options of gift ideas while we were breezing through the store. I was fascinated by the cute metal mugs that they have in the front. But the tea towels on the other side of the store, next to the pinball machine were beautiful too. After much debate, I decided on the cute metal mug with the fun Idaho facts all over it. I would want one of my own so I might have to come back and snag one. I also got a bar of Idaho huckleberry chocolate to put inside the little mug. It's going to be the perfect little gift for our host. My husband was too busy looking at all the refrigerated drinks. He found the Sprite + tea combo. We have yet to see that in any gas stations by us so that was a neat find! We also found another Calypso lemonade that we have yet to see as well. It was cool finding those drink choices here. The sweet gal that helped us last time helped us again today. She rang us up and a we chatted a bit. She said she remembered us from our last visit. I don't know if it's true but I'm flattered if she did remember us! Either way, she was great and made our little visit there fun. This bodega is dope and I'm happy we came here today to grab our drinks and presents. I'll always recommend this joint to locals or out of towners if they are looking for Idaho merch or a drink. They have some near stuff here and the sales gal is super kind. Plus you gotta support beautiful small businesses in our city.

Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover we have one right here in Meridian, Idaho! I've visited several times now, so it was definitely time to give credit where credit is due. The service is always amazing--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. This location is tucked inside a Fast Eddy's Chevron, and if you're a snack lover, you've found your happy place! They have everything from trendy Dubai chocolates to a huge variety of Asian snacks and treats. I could easily spend way too much time browsing the aisles. There are also plenty of Buy 2, Get 1 FREE deals throughout the store, and let's be honest--they had me at FREE. One thing I especially appreciate is how clean the facility is. Even the restrooms are well-maintained, and I loved seeing a sign asking customers to let staff know if they find them dirty. That level of pride and accountability says a lot about a business. Whether you're stopping in for one of Earl's delicious sandwiches, grabbing gas, or on the hunt for fun snacks and treats, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll be adding this review to Fast Eddy's as well because both businesses deserve the recognition! ) Sadly, there are no sandwich photos because I inhaled it before I could grab my phone. I ordered the Tuna Melt, and while it may not be winning any low-calorie awards, it was absolutely worth every bite! They also carry a delicious honey Dijon mustard that I love adding to my sandwich--it gives it the perfect sweet and tangy kick. Sometimes you just have to live a little, and this sandwich definitely did not disappoint!

I wasn't…read moreconfident my regular Asian food stores, which specialize in Korean and Chinese foods, would have this Indian ingredient. I have driven past India Foods for quite some time but never stopped. I was surprised by how large the store was. From the outside, it looks rather small but it was nearly as large as the Asia Market and Orient Market in town. They had the powdered Kashmiri chile pepper and many other spices and food products. Many products that I hadn't seen at the other stores, because of their emphasis on Indian foods. Fresh produce items didn't seem at their peak, so that's something that I would look for other sources. The Asia Market gets its fresh produce on Fridays, the Orient a day later and they're always in good condition. Overall, though, I was pleased by the selection at this store.
