    Tap house has some amazing food and service. I always have to get their nachos when I go, they are just too delicious. Their coffee is also yummy and it comes in a cool cup which I liked.

    Our group ended up going here for a trivia night that was being put on. So we ordered a bunch of drinks and sat and played trivia. It was a lot of fun, but the drinks were normal and every time we walked past this place besides the trivia night it's always been kind of dead. I give it four stars cause the bathroom is a little bit dirty and it was not clean and took a little while to get our checks. But other than that, the staff was good and the trivia night was awesome.

    Great pub downtown with a lot of tvs! Great price for a beer! Seemed to be typical bar food. We only went in for a drink before the hockey game. Trivia on Tuesday! Service was good and pretty quick! Kind of the typical ambience for a pub!

    My husband and I have been here now a couple of times. I have to say we waited to long to go here! Should of came sooner :) This place is a great vibe, food is delicious and the servers are awesome! We recently had the pleasure of Sara A serving us. She was super friendly and we greatly appreciated her customer service it makes you wanna come back! Oh and did I mention they have TV's that share all the sports for fans that wanna get out from home and watch games else where. So if your in downtown Boise check this place out! You won't be disappointed:) Happy Customers Abato's

    What a great lunch with awesome service and good selection of tvs, beers, and spirits! We were seated quickly, just ahead of the downtown lunch rush, and had drinks within a couple minutes . The menu is nice but not overwhelming and there are plenty of options for everyone. Had to go with fish and chips and the wife went fish sandwich. As soon as mine came out, I knew it was a winner. It's clear to see they hand bread their fillets and make the extra effort on their tartar sauce. I was so impressed, and finally feel like I've had a good fish and chips in Boise (reasonably priced). Ambiance was great, noise level was average, and the servers were friendly and attentive. Great spot, will be back soon!

    Bacon & Bleu cheese burger - freaking amazing!

    *This is for the Taphouse location in STAR - they do not have a Yelp listing yet, though this is a separate location, it is still under the same ownership in Star* It's important to note that every restaurant in Star is inundated as soon as it opens. Taphouse is no different, however, due to the excellence in staff training and organization, the service was excellent, friendly and accurate regardless of how many people were here. My family had the Bacon & Bleu Cheese Burger, Chicken tacos and Fish and Chips. Bacon & Bleu Cheese Burger: Amazing. So much tangy bleu cheese, but not overpowering. The burger was juicy and the bacon crispy. Fries were a little over seasoned but they were perfectly crispy....but wished there were more. I literally cannot wait to have this again. Downed that meal with a beautiful blonde beer off tap - lovely. Chicken Tacos: Kind of a surprise with the shredded beer braised chicken instead of grilled, but the cilantro slaw and crema bring out this freshness where the chicken seems a little heavy. This comes with three, so it's a big meal but incredibly delicous. Fish & Chips: This is your typical fish and chips flare - my husband said it was one of the best he's ever had. Fish was tender and breading was perfect, not to mention it was fried but not oily - perfection. Service was wonderful and we cannot wait to go back. What an excellent addition to Star! Can't wait to try the brunch options.

    Portobello burger - amazing!'
    Kristen A.

    Finally - a veggie burger option in Boise!! The Taphouse did not disappoint, even if it took us some time to find. It's clean and the staff is friendly. The food was legit. I had the portobello burger, which was amazing! And the parm fries are wonderful. My husband had the prime rib dip and he was quite pleased with his choice. Drinks are solid. Prices aren't bad. And again, finally, a few legit veggie options.

    Casual dining with great beer menu. Several local and regional craft beers. Great service and atmosphere!

My friend tried it for the first time and she was in absolute heaven. Cant remember which burger we got but it was delicious. They are more unique. If you want just a plain burger, this is not the place to go. The fries were also super delicious, but you will need to order it as a side. I recommend sharing and trying out a bit of everything. And don't forget to have a shake! They look small but there is always an addition that makes them even bigger. The outdoor patio has a nice view of the little pond as well. If you got an appetite and craving a burger and a shake, check out Sid's!

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!

To start, I tried the Pickletini. As a fan of pickle-forward drinks, I found it "not bad"--a solid choice if you enjoy that briny profile. My fiancé opted for the All Ways Down Double IPA flight. At 9% ABV, it was a heavy hitter, but he really enjoyed the intense hop aroma and flavor provided by the Cryo Hops. For my main, I ordered the TNT Sando (Tri-Tip with bacon jam and garlic aioli) on Gaston's grilled focaccia. I requested it without pickles, and it was excellent. I paired it with the Black Bean and Veggie soup, which was a standout--perfectly delicious with a nice "zing" to it. Unfortunately, the meal hit a significant snag with my fiancé's Fish & Chips. The beer and cornmeal tempura batter was extremely thick (nearly 3/4 of an inch in some spots) and the fish was overcooked. Additionally, the blue cheese dressing on his side salad was very runny and tasted off. It was disappointing enough that we had to send it back. We replaced it with The Spicy Italian pizza. This was a total 180--it arrived looking beautiful, and the combination of the meats, pepperoncinis, and hot honey was absolutely delicious. Our server, Casey P., was generally good and attentive, though we did have to wait to start our meal because we weren't initially provided with napkins or silverware. A minor note on the atmosphere: the table we were seated at had "gay" carved into the wood, which felt a bit out of place for the professional vibe of the rest of the establishment. Overall, the TNT Sando, the pizza, and the beers are worth coming back for, but the kitchen consistency on the fried items definitely needs some work.
