Great service and good food. Especially pleasant on a Sunday afternoon with a nice view

for Location/Ambiance . for Food/Drink Love the rustic cabin vibes overlooking the Snake River. Great view and ambience overall. Wasn't as impressed with the food and drink - here's my take but I always say go taste for yourself as we all have different perspectives. Fried Calamari - soft and battery. I prefer it cooked to perfect crispiness. I also like an option of both marinara and garlic aioli sauce for contrast. Ahi Tacos - thick flavorful pieces of Ahi Tuna cooked perfectly with delicious crumbled cheese on top. By the time I got to the third one the tortilla just fell apart and had to eat with a fork. Super juicy. Bloody Mary - Took way to long to make and got it mid dinner when we ordered it first. Had to cook the bacon and shimp they said so just note that time delay when ordering. Presentation was stunning with the umbrella of peperoncino and three olives attached, two curled pieces of bacon and two shrimp prawns hanging on the rim of the glass. Spicy which I love and had good flavor. I could only drink half because of how salty it was - maybe due to the bacon in it. Apple Cobbler: Absolutely topped off the experience. Warm apples with a nice soft pastry crust and cold vanilla ice cream for the contrast. We got the caramel sauce on the side and just drizzled it on to our taste. Service: Server was very nice to us overall. Somewhat knowledgeable on the menu - sort of. Seemed like we were being rushed though even though there were still plenty of seats available. She was asking if I wanted a dessert when I literally had half a taco in my mouth lol. Would we go again...possibly just to give something else a try at some point. read more

No. Just don't do it. Overpriced, not good quality food. Servers are like do do do... don't know nothing about what yall are selling. Server said steaks were amazing! Hard for me to believe so I ordered a steak sandwich to try it... ugh! Just NO. Tough meat, not foot flavors and overpriced. I don't know what makes these type of places think they can charge what they do and serve junk. Only plus side was the view, I guess. read more

Review is for dinner for two on a Thursday evening in June. We had one order of Ahi tacos, $22, and one order of prime rib, which is their special on Thursday nights and comes with two sides as well as a salad for $42. Add one glass of wine for nine dollars and one gin and tonic for eight dollars and we were $100 out the door with tax and tip. Pay cash because they charge a 5% up-charge for using your credit card. While we sat indoors in a lodge vibe, there is an outdoor patio that looked even cuter right on the snake river. I assume the patio is dog friendly. Staff were friendly and efficient. Would return for flavors and value plus the patio!! read more

The best part about this restaurant is the location by the river and how cute the restaurant is. But the food was wayyyyy overpriced, quality of the food was very low and service was horrible. Example: Paid over $75 for a little bowl of Kraft Mac n cheese (literally "Kraft"), a buffalo chicken sandwich (which had two tiny pieces of chicken strips dipped in Buffalo sauce), a flight of tacos, a bottle of beer and a flight of margaritas (which were very syrupy). When we got the bill, my husband only had cash so he put down a $100 and the waitress grabbed it and said "you don't need change right"! We both felt very awkward and my husband said "no". But yea...would have rather stayed home and made my own dinner and made my own drink after having this experience. read more

We are staying at this location through Harvest Hosts RV. We had sunset cocktails on the Boathouse patio last night, and I can tell you that that was definitely a highlight of our long RV road trip. Service was fantastic, and they even stoked my favorite brand of rum (Bumbu, from Barbados). The view is spectacular, and overlooks the river. Really cozy and excellent location for lunch, dinner or drinks. read more

We sat outside on the deck by the water. Services was very friendly and quick. The drinks were so refreshing. The pulled pork nachos were very tasty. All the ingredients were fresh. We loved the bbq sauce on the pork. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

Visit Burley, we stumbled upon The Boathouse. In our party we had the coconut shrimp, the chicken Alfredo, chicken fried steak, and a fish meal. From the time we walked in, the server was extremely friendly, the ambiance perfect, and the view of Snake River spectacular. The bread brought out before the meal was hot, fresh and so good. Then we got our meals and which also included sides of Caesar salad, sweet potato fries with a tasty secret sauce, and seasoned French fries. We had a wonderful lunch and great experience. Highly recommend The Boathouse! read more

The view is pretty nice as you overlook the river. The food was also acceptable, but really just bar food. I happened to peek at the food of some other patrons and it looked better, but I didn't order it so I can't validate. I'll give them a small pass as the Triathlon was in town so it may have been busier than usual, but there were empty tables, so not full. Worth mentioning because it took a loooooong (don't time it but at least 15 minutes, probably longer) to have someone come to the table. They apologized, which would have been fine, but the service remained the same. Fries were barely warm, burger was very plain, wrap was good, but also less than warm. It was like the food waited somewhere for a while, which is likely since we waited a while for food as well. The prices are not representative of bar food, but that's essentially what you get. But if you are in it for the view, they have a great location. Another small thing is the single bathroom for males and females. Not a big deal, but was not convenient as several people eye the door waiting to be next. read more

Food was good. Service was not fast at all. Food took about 2 hrs to come out then they forgot two people's food in the group. All was ordered at the same time. read more

This restaurant is cozy and feels kind of like a cabin. The waitress was nice but the service was very very slow. It took forever to get menus, drinks, orders placed, the check... it was a two hour experience. The menu is extensive and for some items expensive. Members of our party ordered a range of items. No one could say anything was fantastic, just okay. The portion sizes were small. I don't think I will return. Also, beware of the front boardwalk area. The railing is splintery and yellow jackets are abundant. read more

The best hamburger we have had in years! Big, juicy patty cooked perfectly with all the fresh toppings was delicious. Our Club Wrap was absolutely loaded. Great food topped off with super friendly wait staff! 10/10 stars! read more

This place is a gem! Located on the Snake River, great views, outdoor seating, large menu with lots of yummy options. Probably one of the best Prime Rib dinners I've ever had. Highly recommend. read more

Its a neat place by the water and you do have some great views. However this isn't a place to visit if you expect service to be good. Yes the ladies look beautiful...but they are not very good at serving. My salad was missed, no silverware until the 4th request...no bread.. no water when requested until 30 mins after we arrived. Messed up 1 order, had to pay for all items and I ordered a burger for a dog...no sides no bun nothing but a patty...and was charged full price. Ordered an old fashion and it came with no ice...over priced. Everyone else enjoyed their meal However so 2 stars for sandwiches and fries. Don't get the steak...they claim its the best....stick to bar food items and bottled drinks. Leave the kids at home read more

great food and drinks, amazing view right on the river, staff was very friendly and helpful
