Here are some initial results from the great bagel search of Southern Idaho…read more The same Lox and bagel sandwich with two extra bagels that Freedom Bagel Bakery charged $17.46 was $12.43 at Blue Sky Bagels. Same stuff at both locations, onion bagel, lox, tomato, thin sliced red onion, cream cheese and capers. This sandwich did not have the huge saltiness of Freedom Bagel bakery. The difference of nearly $5 could be used to buy almost a dozen of "day old" bagels at Blue Sky. I liked the way Blue Sky Bagel sells their bagels the next day when they make too many. This is a very common practice with bagel shops across America. One has to wonder why Freedom Bagel Bakery didn't have some bags of "day old" bagels for sale during my visit. Could Freedom actually know exactly how many bagels to make? Because if they do, thousands of bagel shops across this country would love to know the secret. Hey, who can't eat a reheated, day old bagel? The cost is better and the taste is better than supermarket bagels, even the ones made in the market's bakery, like Albertson's. America, give up your supermarket bagels and shop your local bagel maker.

I ordered the peanut butter passion(always a favorite), it's made fresh, but I still received it relatively quick!

In my opinion, New York style pizza is superior, so I was thrilled to find this gem of a pizzeria…read morewith TWO Boise locations. This location is off of chinden near cloverdale rd. The pizzas are massive and quality is pretty consistent. I love to get the basil & cheese as a base, it adds such a nice flavor. I usually order for pickup, which I think a lot of people do, so the seating inside is often pretty empty. Wait times also vary depending on the day and time you order, but they are pretty good about giving an estimated time. I haven't found a better pizza place around!

My husband didn't want to eat what I was cooking for dinner so he ordered himself a pizza at…read more Winco. He placed his order at a kiosk and had it baked there instead of taking it home. My husband is pretty classic and just got a cheese pizza. He wanted to do half and half but it wasn't an option. One of the cons of ordering off a kiosk instead of a person. The pizza was handed to us right from the oven. Piping hot! That baby was loaded with cheese. Not one dry spot on the pizza! It did cool a bit by the time we got home but the cheese pull was still there! For a grocery store pizza, it's actually pretty good! This pizza was 10 bucks and an extra dollar to have them bake it for you. Can't go wrong with an 11 dollar pizza. No delivery fee. No tip needed. You cactus beat that!

But...my kids and I wanted to check it out, and it's pretty great. They have hot food that ranges from hot dogs to slices of pizza. Their drinks are great - they have chewy ice and a ton of sodas and flavorings. Plus you can add cherries, lemons or limes! And the main reason I'm reviewing...their employees are nice. Especially Richard, who went above and beyond last week to help my friend's son figure out the sugar amounts in the soda flavorings (he has diabetes). He just made such a great impression and we appreciated his help.

I usually frequent the McDonald's by my husband's work off Fairview or the one by our house off…read moreChinden. We decided to hit up this McDonald's to avoid traffic from the fair that's going on. I haven't been to this location before so it was different walking in. The set up isn't practical. The register is kinda hidden and there's a funky wall that prohibits the employees to see customers standing at the register. I did stand at the register for a bit before I had to move in front of food pick up area for someone to see me. A sweet gal saw me and headed to the register. I'm on the hunt for the new Hello Kitty/Ninja turtle collaboration toys. I asked Chanel what toys they had available. She needed a minute to go look so we patiently waited. She did a minute so I thought maybe she was annoyed for me asking. This sweet girl when through and grabbed all my options. She made sure she grabbed all the ones available for me! I already had 2 of the 4 that they had so I told her I would take the 2. I got my happy meal ordered and my extra toy. My chicken nuggets were nice and hot. My two things of small fries were perfectly fried. I love me some floppy fries and they were fried that way. My meal was pretty easy and it was what I wanted. I also appreciate that this McDonald's has their soda machine out for their customers to fill up their own drinks. It's so convenient to be able to refill your cup without standing there waiting for someone to do it for you. I appreciate that Chanel went out of her way to show me the happy meal toys they had available. I have been to another McDonald's and they looked agitated when I asked about their toys. My food was what it was, McDonald's and it was good. Glad I had such a good experience at this McDonald's.

I've been going to McDonald's every Sunday morning for nearly a year. I order after walking for…read moreabout an hour using their mobile app. I often hesitate to hit "pay" until I'm about 5 mins out (still walking) because I don't want my food sitting there getting cold. Lately I've had to wait for my food (an egg McMuffin and hash browns) at times for 10 minutes or more.. Today it took 18 minutes after I paid on the app and I received an email verifying my order for my food to come out of their kitchen. I wasn't happy about the extra wait but said nothing because I could see they were scrambling to get others out. But then I sat down to eat. The hash brown tasted like it had been cooked in rancid oil and the McMuffin was cold. The one thing McDonald's has always had going for it was consistency in its food. Service has been going downhill for awhile as the struggle to meet demand from drive-up, walk-up, mobile orders and DoorDash orders with mostly high school aged workers. But now the food is starting to suffer as well. We all know that McDonald's food isn't exactly healthy. But some of us like to treat ourselves every once in a while despite knowing that. But I will hesitate to continue my Sunday morning ritual if I can't rely on the food being as I expect it to be. The company needs to decide what they want to be and who they want to serve and not let volume impact food quality. If drive-through and DoorDash orders are priority, close the walk-up window. If you're swamped let people know the wait time when ordering using the app. Because it's pretty apparent that you can't do it all without your service and food quality suffering.

Stopped in to grab my afternoon caffeinated beverage after doing some shopping at Target. It was…read moremid afternoon so it was pretty chill. There were quite a few folks chillin and enjoying their drinks. It's nice to see people out and about. The gentleman that helped me with my order today was really nice. He instantly greeted me and got my order squared away. I just went and hung out till my drink was ready. I think their priorities on drive thru drinks are over in person guests who are waiting for their drink. I literally watched 4 cars go through the drive thru and receive their drinks while I'm still waiting. These cars all had multiple drinks per car. I know damn well that 4 drive thru orders were not all taken at the same time I ordered my one. The gentleman knew I was getting upset by the way he said "she's working on your drink now". Now she's working on my drink now that drive thru is completely empty? There were 4 people behind that counter and only 1 barista making drinks. I completely understand if there was a car or two ahead of my order but 4 cars? What a great way to make your in person guest feel unimportant. I probably won't be coming back to this location considering there's a Starbucks on every street corner. My drink is a pretty generic order so any Starbucks can make it. These baristas possibly start or can finish someone's day. I don't even want to imagine coming here in the morning and having someone like the barista I had today start my day. I can guarantee my day world be ruined.
