    Chorizo nachos

    Super cute place! Great food and service- we'll definitely be coming back. We especially liked the fish tacos and the chorizo nachos!

    chicken tacos, tots, chicken pot pie, burger, mac bites
    Kathleen P.

    This was our midway stop for dinner from Pine Flats Hot Springs to Boise. You'll probably see at least 2 cute dogs by the entrance. Lots of families eating here. You order at the counter and bring a number to your table for the servers to find you. Food was good, although service is a bit slow. The chicken pot pie was piping hot, but delicious. I had to go up to the counter to ask for my salad because it was forgotten, but they were nice about getting it to me. The sauce on the chicken tacos were the best. We had leftovers as we ordered too much for 3 people. Easy to find, easy to park in the lot. Wifi was free and reliable.

    Farmstead burger and sweet potato fries

    Good food. Farmstead burger is my go to. People are friendly. If you're in Hidden Springs, definitely recommend!

    over 15$ for school lunch quality chicken and small tater tot portions. my boyfriend got the bacon avocado jalapeno burger, which was good. service was fine. overpriced overall.

    Farmstead Burger

    Waited an hour for our food. There seemed to be a manager circling the room to help with orders and double check table numbers, but our table was completely ignored. After checking with staff, it was found that the order was placed as take out instead of dine in. They offered to give us dessert as an apologize, but instead someone brought us two coffee punch cards. The buns on the Farmstead Burger were completely soggy from sitting so long, it was hard to eat and the food was barely warm because it sat for so long.

    Good bar and open dining area

Today we got the sausage and pear sandwich which is a little on the sweeter side, and the Peruvian, which is more on the savory side. Both sandwiches were delicious! We opted for the half sandwich and we picked the lemon tree salad as our side. The lemon vinaigrette is so good! If you're downtown on a lunch date this is the perfect spot!

It was pretty good but not like any banh mi I've had at all. No pickled veggies and the sandwich bread was a far cry from a banh mi baguette. Great bread though! I just thought the name was very misleading and it would've been better to just call it a massaman curry sandwich. I really liked the spiced yam slices, but I felt like the peanut butter almost overpowered the yam sometimes. Could've been lighter on the PB. I ordered the combo meal which was supposed to be a 1/2 sandwich plus a side. If the sandwich portion I got was only a half, then the full size must be huge. I kind of suspect I got a full sandwich. I had the beet salad for my side. It was tasty and fresh, and also pretty sizeable. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The wait time for food was reasonable given that they seemed busy. The loft seating was nice.

It's just not as good as the bronco in my opinion. I could eat that mushroom toast every single day it's that good.

They don't take reservations so if it's busy, there will be a wait often. If you're open to sitting outside, you will get seated fast faster. This restaurant is right up there with Percy for me!

Today I decided to order ahead, but I accidentally scheduled my pickup an hour later than I intended because my laptop was set to a different time zone. I called the restaurant, explained what happened, and they were incredibly kind and accommodating. Even though the restaurant was absolutely packed when I arrived, they were able to get my order ready much earlier than originally scheduled. I really appreciated them going out of their way to help me. The food was fantastic! The Honey Badger pizza was delicious, the Everynight salad was even better. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. Between the outstanding customer service and the excellent food, this place definitely earned five stars. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll absolutely be coming here again!

    I moved to right down State St from the Local, so my parents and I have been here twice now…read more The first time was amazing food, but the service wasn't great, super rude and impatient. The reason we went back the second time was because we remembered how good the food was and how nearby it was too. The second time the food was still really good, but the service was HORRENDOUS. Brittney was such a ***** to me and my parents, my mom especially. My mom was complimenting her and something about the food, and she straight up just walked away in the middle of my mom still talking. And no it wasn't busy. It was towards the end of the night, there was maybe 2-3 other customers there. She acted like we were bothering her the whole time. Then once she'd leave us would just stand up at the bar flirting with the other guy working there and just ignore anyone else. Then on top of all of that, my dad tells me she added $10 onto her tip! FRAUD!!! I've attached photos as evidence. My dad still tipped her even though she was so rude and disrespectful. But apparently that wasn't enough for her and added $10 onto the total. I cannot believe that. And my dad tells me it was difficult to get his $10 back after calling and talking to the manager. He didn't get the name of the manager but he said that they were just making excuses and saying oh but she's our best server. Obviously not! Saying things like oh she must've just been really busy. Again, we were there when it was dead and about to close soon, no it was not busy. It's almost as if this business does this type of thing often because there was no alarm from the manager, then finally after much deliberation decided to send back the $10. Absolutely ridiculous. No : "I'm so sorry here's a free meal on us", or atleast a "here's a coupon or gift card for next time you come in", nothing. This is the type of thing that gets people closed down. We should report to the BBB. This is insane. And to not be offered anything to make it right is what really gets me. Like do they not want us to ever come back??? Not to mention tell everyone we know, etc. Yikes! And this is what we get for wanting to support local businesses instead of going to the big chains. What a bummer.

I had requested this table so everything was smooth from calling in to getting in. My daughter and I arrived a little early to set up the table. We had flowers, party favors and decor we needed to set up. Our server helped us put the birthday cake in the fridge so it would stay cool. We got everything set up and just chilled till everyone showed up. I did forget the birthday candles I bought so I drove home to grab them. I missed the whole ordering process. I had my daughter order the pineapple hanger steak with no potatoes subbed for veggies for me. I left before they ordered and was only gone for about 25 minutes. My food had already been sitting for 10 minutes waiting for me before I got back. I was honestly surprised at how fast everything was prepared. I did enjoy my meal. It was really good. The hanger steak was tender and very savory. The shishito peppers were cooked and grilled perfectly. I got a total of 6 and only 1 of them was spicy, I'm ok with that! The asparagus was grilled to perfection. Not overly cooked but tender with a slight bite. The best way to have asparagus. I think this would have been a 5 star experience but this is where I'm so unhappy. I brought a cake in. I also brought in candles, a vintage cake plate and plates for us to eat the cake on. It was all planned out. Our server did not communicate with me at all about the cake once she pulled it out for me. One minute it was sitting in it's box on the servers table and the next minute there's a huge, tacky firework in it. Like, I had a pretty cake made with delicate candles to put in it to have this goofy firework in the middle of it. I didn't take one photo of the cake before she violated it with the stupid firework. If you plan on bringing in a cake that you don't want touch, tell your server. Food was great. The vibe was chill. But I will always have this stupid firework in the middle of my cake as a core memory of this joint.
