On a road trip with my son from AZ to WA and we stopped at Boise on the 2nd night. We had a…read moreshorter drive to Lewiston the 3rd day so we decided to check out downtown Boise and have lunch before we left. Using Yelp, we found Matlack's Public House Beergarten and liked the look of their sandwiches. We arrived 15min before they opened and wandered around a bit before heading back. The hostess/waitress took us in and thanked us for coming back (she must have watched us try to get in earlier). We got to pick our table in the dining area. The interior is smaller but very clean and classy. The only thing I didn't like were the chairs as they were benches and stools with no back support. I ordered the Santa Maria Tri-tip sandwich and an iced tea. My son also got the same sandwich. Their sandwiches all come with Fritos unless you're looking to spend more for a salad, mac & cheese or chili. This was the best sandwich I've had in years! The baguette had a little crunch on the outside but soft on the inside. The tri-tip was hickory and apple smoked and was tender and delicious. The chimichurri was a perfect accompaniment, as were the roasted poblano peppers. I also enjoyed the Fritos as the side. We also received top-notch service from the waitress. You could tell this place puts a lot of love and effort into their food and service. Thanks Matlack's for a great meal before our next leg of our journey!

Good news, THEY DIDN'T! Pub-type atmosphere, lots of beer on tap. I can't remember which I ordered, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the Mac n Cheese without the breadcrumbs and the hubs ordered it and added bacon. It was creamy and yummy. I ended out taking some of my back to the room. It reheated well, so made for an excellent midnight(ish) snack! The place wasn't too busy when we were there, the bartender was also our waiter. He was polite and helpful. The table/chairs were clean and people looked like locals (which is always comforting when you randomly pick a spot). There's indoor and outdoor seating. I didn't see a lot of parking. I hear it's a busy place on Friday and Saturday evenings. We were pleased with our restaurant choice that afternoon. Thank you for reading my review!

We only ate their food via delivery so I can't comment on the staff or restaurant ambiance. But…read morefrom what we ordered, the best brisket ever. Their baby back ribs are perfect too. They do have a spicier dry rub on them but their two BBQ sauces we used on them - one a more mustardy type and the other more traditional - balanced out their flavor. Their baked beans are the absolute best. We thought the coleslaw could be a tad sweeter, but that's a personal preference. The price for two, even without the delivery tip was on the pricier side.

Definitely loved their brisket and their loaded baked potato was deliciously amazing! Their fired pickle added such a nice contrast and balance at the same time to all the meat we were having!

Overall experience was great, definitely would like to give it a 2nd try for their ribs.. hopefully next time I get a better batch?

I almost laughed when we pulled up, "It smells good... How come we've never been here before?" (I believe I suggested it...) For apps I ordered cornbread and onion rings and let he tell you, you THINK you've seen onion rings before, yeah these are about 3x as thick! More than one "what the heck?" at that table! I used to live in Texas, been to Texas own BBQ of Mecca in Lockhart. I used to do the trip from Houston to Phoenix about 4x a year, a short 1200 mile trip... one way. I'd leave Houston at thee in the morning and would be standing at my favorite Lockhart BBQ place at six to order two pounds of brisket for. The rest of the drive, so I'm spoiled regarding brisket. This isn't Lockhart good, but it's not bad for Idaho. I think next time I'd get the Brisket Salad, someone in our party had it and looked haply. Mt wife had the brisket sandwich and it became both lunch and dinner for her... And I ate what was left. My brother in law had a Chicken Fried Steak that could feed a small village. Once I lose a few more pounds I may entertain a trip for it. The eternal question is, would I go back? At least twice for the salad and CFS! By the way, they get bonus points for having Shiner on tap! It ain't real Texas BBQ if they don't offer Shiner! The complimentary Key Lime Pie for my birthday just topped everything off!

Their barbecue sauce is also fantastic. I got the side of vegan potato salad at the recommendation of the server and she did not steer me wrong, that was really good potato salad. The server was also very sweet and helpful. They have very interesting decor and lots of seating inside, plus a couple of little tables outside. I did not expect to find vegan food this good in Boise. It was also really affordable. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in town!

I will also say the hours are until 8 PM but several times they have turned away to go orders starting at 4 PM. I don't understand the difference between offering someone to dine in or to go. If it's a small order, I could just put the food in it to go box myself at the table..... if there's a reason they're not taking to go orders they need to state what it is. About the flavor difference I don't know the potatoes taste different. The burnt ends taste different. The brisket taste different. They have also made several menu changes and changes to how they advertise in the actual brick-and-mortar location. With all these changes over the last six years, it just does not feel or taste like the same restaurant. And I'm turned off by the refusal of to go orders. I would much rather drive down the street to the other barbecue location.
