    Locos fries
    Aude O.

    Glad we found this place. Very much has its grunge/punk theme. Service was great. And they were consistent with traffic, which is a good thing. Se vice was wonderful. Burger was great. Fries were delish, so were the tempura green beans. Pretzels were mid. But overall well with a visit.

    Yummmmmmy!

    Amazing food! Great atmosphere and wonderful service! The bacon is to die for! Lol the shakes are definitely something you would have to try at least once! Only reason I say that is because there's a lot going on, but it was worth it!

    Truffle Parmesan Fries
    Sophie V.

    Switched from Canola Oil to Beef Tallow! That deserves a star all on its own!! It's not a relaxing atmosphere but it's not terribly loud either, it's a fun atmosphere for a smaller group. The hostess and our waitress were both great! Our kids enjoyed their Cheeseburgers and we all loved the Truffle Parmesan Fries with some Ranch. My husband had the Whiskey Bacon Burger and he said a solid 4.5/5 Stars. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken Salad and I'd give it 3.5/5 Stars, I wasn't starving so it did hit the spot. Thanks Sid's Garage! We will be back!

    The food was really good. We loved how some of the food came in weird containers, it adds fun to your meal. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. We were so full from the appetizer and entree and didn't have room for a milkshake. But it gives us a reason to come back!! The milkshakes looked phenomenal.

    The food was really good and the servers were all very nice and welcoming. We had a great experience overall and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The only thing I would suggest is adding some background music because the restaurant felt a little quiet, but other than that everything was great. We'd definitely come back!

    Tempuraed green beans

    I have been eye balling this joint for a hot minute! I have seen photos of thier over the top shakes and candied bacon. They have such a fun vibe so of course I wanted to celebrate my birthday here! Walking in, the music was loud! I love a chill vibe. I see my party sitting against the wall so I told the host in the front that I see my party. Our server did get drinks started for the others. He finally came back to check up on us. I got me a lemonade to sip on. Our last person showed up finally and we ordered dinner while she was looking over the menu. For dinner I got tempuraed green beans and candied bacon. The greens beans came in a shoe but they took the shoe away. My bacon was neatly hung and charred by a different server. I thought that was neat. The green beans were tasty! The batter did have good seasoning to it. I honestly wouldn't call the batter tempura. To me, tempura is light and airy. This batter was not. It had a thickness to it. Some of my friends didn't like the sauce that came with it but I enjoyed it! The bacon was very very very tasty! I love a great savory and sweet combo. I recommend the candied bacon for sure! For a fun joint, I am surprised they don't do anything for birthdays. My friend asked our server if they do ice cream or cake for birthdays and his response was "if you want to pay for it". Kinda tacky and such a great way to dampen the vibe. I served for many many years and I always made it a point to make the birthday person feel special. In today's case with my server, we didn't have the same ideals. If you're looking for a fun local joint to eat at that's loud and fun, Sid's is your joint. If you're looking to celebrate your special day than I probably would go somewhere else. I had such a fun time till my server made me feel like my birthday it wasn't important. I'm happy I got to try it out but I probably won't be back. I'd rather go somewhere where people feel special on their birthdays! Not just a tip at the end of their dining experience.

    Truffle fries w/parmesan

    Finally tried Sids. Date night with the man (aka husband). Super cute little place. Service was fast & friendly. I had the Mac & Cheese...super yummy and gooey from all the cheeses. Definitely fills you up. Husband got the Whiskey burger w/truffle fries. Man oh man the beef patty is huge. Was wanting to try one of their shakes but our tummies were stuffed to the max...next time for sure!!

    So I'm in Boise on a regular basis, and am always trying to make it to Sids Garage. Finally made it, and worth the wait. Extraordinary burger. The service was excellent! Will definitely return.

    Doughnut grilled cheese
    Cheri N.

    Very early dinner, popped in around 4:00 PM with no reservation while shopping in the village. Party of 4 seated immediately. This was my second time eating at Sid's garage. The last time was at the Downtown location. The ambience of the village location is a little bit more closed off and segmented than the Downtown location. Overall, the restaurant seems smaller. The best seating was up against the wall in the high booths. Unfortunately, they pushed one small round and a square tiny table together to make a table for four. It was awkward and right by the exit for the kitchen, but we made the best of it. As for the food - fun burgers that taste great is my overall review. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers. Keep in mind, though that the patties are very thick . It's a lot of meat . If you like In-N-Out burgers with those thin patties, these are quite the opposite . Our favorite was actually not a burger. It was the donut grilled cheese with a side of tomato basil soup. It was different and definitely had a sweet kick to the donut bread. Also honorable mention to the the Parmesan cheese fries and a huge shout out to their dipping sauce. We enjoyed that sauce on both our fries and our burgers. It has a little bit of a vinegar sweetness to it with pepper that makes it all their own. As for prices for our party of four, the total bill was about $70. You can't eat anywhere for four people for much less. For example, five guys would run you about $15 a person. Keep in mind our tab did not include alcohol, we each ordered an entrée and shared an order of fries. Two waters and two soft drinks rounded out our meals. Know if you added in one of their fabulous shakes, that's gonna send you back about 15 bucks but for a special occasion, it's well worth it. For an everyday sit down meal while you're shopping in the village or a casual special occasion I highly recommend treating yourself to Sid's garage.

    The French Onion Dip burger
    Judi B.

    Since it took a while for us to be acknowledged as we waited to be seated, it gave us time to take in the steam-punk and funky fun, loud environment. After we were seated by the kitchen, it took an extraordinary long time again to be acknowledged and served with drinks (the place wasn't too busy at the time at 11:30 am, Sunday morning), but after we were finally approached to start the process by our friendly server, things were paced quite nicely and steadily. The poor start to seating and service is what dropped this from a 5 to 4 rating. Burgers are whacky and different which makes Sid's unique. Many burgers come with candied bacon or interesting sauces, cheeses or flavor combinations you've never thought of. There are no combos here; if you want a side it's listed as an appetizer, so it will come out first, not with your burger (unless requested). I ordered the new burger, the French Onion Dip, which is a 1/2 Lb. Angus blend burger on a croissant, cheese and onion ring. It's rich and very different. I loved its richness, though would have appreciated some freshness like lettuce, tomato or something to cut down the richness a bit. However, I ordered French onion so I it's gluttonous as it should be. Hubby had the Steakhouse burger after complaining he couldn't find anything that appealed to him (he's very picky) without the onion marmalade. He rated his burger a 9 out of 10, so it had to be exceptional. Drinks are quickly refilled and the Loco Fries were absolute perfection...crispy, plentiful and heavily seasoned without tasting like it. The only downside is the the fry sauce didn't wow, but the fries don't really need anything to dip with because they are that good! There's a 2.5% up charge if you pay with card, just an FYI.

    Celiac friendly? like separate cooking area (fryers and cutting boards and everything)?

    Great question - we take Celiac very seriously… we do cook our burgers in a separate pan for Celiac… all others cooked on our flat-top.… 

    Is there a kids menu?

    Indeed there is - kids cheeseburger and chicken tenders.

The place just opened and we had a lovely patio booth. We had a fantastic meal here! I ordered the flat iron steak salad, and my partner got the Cuz I'm a Cowboy Baby 1/2 # kobe burger. Both the steak and the burger meat were cooked to absolute perfection (a true medium rare). The lettuce and veggies in the salad were incredibly fresh and crisp, and it was tossed in a delicious, Greek-style dressing that complimented the dish perfectly. My husbands burger was topped with a cheesy fried tatertot and his onion rings were perfectly finished; the batter didnt slip off when taking a bite.

We were close to the area and we finally were able to visit and I'm sure glad we did. The restaurant is located in a nice shopping center on the corner of Eagle and Overland, immediately on the other side of 84. The location is nestled towards the back of the center and can easily be missed as it's tucked in the corner of a small lot. We were greeted with a huge smile and swift seating to a booth in the larger dining room area. Even though it was barely 11:30 am on a Saturday, the dining room was already filling with hungry customers and the kitchen was notably bustling. We had Kaitlyn as our server. She arrived with a sunny disposition and eagerness to get our orders going. Downside, due to cost, tomatoes are not available. I have to say, that kind of broke my heart a little...tomatoes, in my eyes, are a requirement for every burger. I ordered the Bleu Bacon single burger and hubby had the cheeseburger. We ordered a small fry (1/2 pound) for us to share. Food did take quite a while to come out, but our server did come by several times to check on us, refill drinks, and give us updates (apparently a large to-go order backlogged the kitchen). The burgers came out first. I was a little underwhelmed with the small burger plate and cheese that was obviously cold when added to the burger and had become a tad sweaty from being steamed instead of melted. I had little hope....but then I took my first bite. The Kaiser hamburger bun was soft, burger patty was nicely seasoned and the bleu cheese was punchy without being overwhelming. The bacon sung through. The fries quickly followed. We were surprised by the home cut style, thick and irregular...rustic and perfectly cooked. These suckers are huge. But with every fry, it was crunch-tender on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I really enjoyed our visit, but the place seemed to be a little understaffed. Several tables had plates stacked or cleaning supplies atop the tables. That aside, service was attentive and the food tasted great, even without the tomatoes.

I can't really use communal sauces so I had to pass on adding sauce to my burger or be able to dip my husband's fries in ketchup. My burger was tasty. I did order it with extra onions and didn't really get any extra. I also don't remember my zucchini fries being so minimal to an order. The side I got today had about 6 rounds in it. As an additional cost, I honestly thought it would be more than 6 small rounds. It's been a year since we have eaten here. The food was good as usual.
