We decided to stop in and ordered a bunch of different items, and every single thing was packed with flavor. The food was incredible and the service was just as great. My husband kept saying, "Finally!" you know that feeling when you find a spot that just gets it right. When you know, you know. This place is an absolute gem, and we're already looking forward to coming back to work our way through the rest of the menu. If you're driving by, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't regret!

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.

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.

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?

Located in the quiet shops off Entertainment, CK Hawaiian BBQ touts they have the best Hawaiian food in Boise. I think there is potential but they need an entire makeover, from the space to the recipes. For one, the restaurant was not clean. The tables were grimy and the floor was oddly sticky. It felt like the place hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. I ordered the Kalua Park Plate (savory pork with (or without) cabbage) with a side of macaroni and gravy ($8.45 for small), my husband the Chicken Katso also with a side of macaroni and gravy (panko breaded chicken breast, $9.55). We decided to take our food home. The second I opened the boxes, I was unimpressed. I'll spare you my very descriptive and unappetizing statement (something about the remarkable resemblance to wet cat food), but to be blunt, I was appalled. It was soggy mess of a few pieces of pork with way to much cabbage. I took one small bite and couldn't stomach anymore. Even my husband exclaimed "what the actual f***." The rest of the food wasn't the worst. The chicken katsu was breaded good but I was like where tf is the katsu sauce?! It wasn't anything special at all. At least it was edible. The macaroni salad was okay. It didn't taste very fresh, probably an old batch. I'm no Hawaiian food expert and based off their menu I got the impression that they're not aimed at providing traditional Hawaiian fare, but more so "inspired" fare. However, regardless of the origin of the food the fact remained that what I received tonight was terrible. Two stars, because the employees were very nice. And were very accommodating when we changed from dine-in to take-out.

The best BBQ in Treasure Valley can be found at a local food truck, Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue. I've…read moretried a lot of highly rated BBQ joints around town and have been left a little disappointed. I recently stumbled across Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue Food Truck and oh my goodness!!! Their St. Louis Style ribs are succulent, meaty and finger licking good. The ribs are sauced and absolutely delicious. I've tried several sides and the potato salad is one of my favorites. Full confession - I'm normally not a big fan of coleslaw, but Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue adds apple and I've been converted. I highly recommend the Banana Pudding to end your meal or just because!!! These dishes are definitely comfort foods and truly taste homemade, without me having to do any work!!! The breakfast burrito is a sight to behold. I ordered it with brisket and it was full of delicious meat. They offer breakfast sandwiches, rib plates, mac & cheese bowls, sides, tacos and desserts. Note - it is a food truck so the menu can change. The owners, Arica and Andrew are wonderful people and care about the food they provide - this food truck has heart! Look for Blue Smoke Craft Barbecue on Facebook and Instagram. You just might find them on Saturdays 9-2 outside the Skin Apothecary in Star 11104 W State St Star Idaho. They also provide catering!

We had our fish & chips delivered (which is a…read morebit risky, but we did it anyway), so I can't speak to the place itself....only the food we ordered. I have to say it's the best fried fish I think I've ever had, and I used to live in Florida, so that's saying something! The outer crust was magnificently crispy, while the cod inside was perfectly juicy and tender. It made for the perfect combination! I give the fries a little slack, as they were delivered and got a little "limp" on the drive over, but they were just ok. I think there was a coating on them that I wasn't a huge fan of, but they were tender and well-salted (salt is very important to me, lol). If we had gone in for our fish & chips, I think the fries would've been fine. I still think they should get rid of the coating, though....french fries don't need to coated in anything. Just fry those suckers up, salt 'em, and you're good to go, IMHO!!! I'm so glad I did because

Quite a few years ago, I did a review of the Westside drive-in on State Street in Boise and I was…read moredelighted with the fish sandwich that I had there. I wasn't crazy about the french fries with all the spice on them as I prefer my potatoes simple and just lightly salted. So this review is for the Park Center Boulevard location. I had to go to a doctor's appointment straight from work and after my appointment I found myself short on time as far as dinner was concerned. I usually eat pretty healthy and try not to eat too much fried food, but once in awhile you just have to go for it and last night was the night. My order was taken quickly and the service was great and I can't say much about ambiance as I did not go inside to eat. They also honored my veteran discount which was very kind and generous of them. It goes a long way when a business supports its military by giving them a discount to dine there. So I truly appreciate that! My food came out very fast and maybe just a little too fast. I did drive home which took me about 8 minutes so with the food wrapped up and prepared fresh it would have lasted that ride just fine. I did dip into the bag briefly in the car to taste the french fries and they were crunchy and hot and definitely well seasoned but not just with salt as mentioned previously. I guess they use the same recipe as they do on the State Street location and I'm not fond of that spice on the french fries at all. I think it would be a great addition to say fried chicken but not on French fries. It's over the top and cloyingly seasoned and just took away from the taste of the potato in general. Now onto the fish. I saw a sign that mentioned their special for the evening was fish and chips so I was excited to order a fish sandwich because I assumed that it would be pretty fresh (or as fresh as it can be considering it's Idaho and our distance from the sea). Of course I'm fairly certain that it comes in frozen, so I couldn't expect too much, but I have had very similar sandwiches at other locations that didn't overcook the frozen fish and it was moist and delicious so they could have done the same. If for some reason they fly the fish in Fresh then there was definitely no excuse for it to be as dry as it was. I figured since they were having the fish and chips special I would get a nice, hot, freshly fried sandwich at minimum, but I'm sorry to say, that was the case. I'm so sorry to say that this sandwich was, indeed, a bust. The bun was all right but the fish was dry as a bone and the breading on the outside of it was tasteless and bland. There was absolutely no salt on the breading, it was overcooked, and let's talk about the cheese. This is where it went severely wrong. I'm not sure what brand they're using, but it was like rubber and there was only one slice on the sandwich. The lettuce was soggy and they put it right on top of whatever dressing they put on the sandwich which I'm assuming was mayonnaise or tartar sauce. I couldn't tell because there was absolutely no acidity as if the pickles were flabby and old and they're definitely were not enough of them in the mayonnaise nor on the sandwich itself. They weren't crunchy either. The whole sandwich was a mess. Well that was my second try. Maybe number three might be a little better? I'm not so sure though. The price was right for the whole meal especially with the veteran discount but sadly I don't think I'm going to go back there for a fish sandwich in the future. Maybe I can try something else on their menu next time! With all do fairness, the pictures that you see of this food is after I was halfway through the meal. So they're not very becoming. I wasn't expecting to write a review and give a three-star rating so my apologies for the half eaten sandwich and fries.
