The 1lb & 2lb Big Jud Special Burger Challenge: Ever wanted to see if you could be on Man v Food, who took the challenge on for himself in the shows 2nd season. I firmly believe the Big Jud Special 1 lb or 2lb Burger Challenge is a necessary right of passage for anyone living in or visiting Boise. It is surprisingly and impressively tasty, even given the size of the patty and amount of toppings used. If you do have leftovers afterwards, you won't even mind. Worried about taking it all down? Bring a good friend.. or a few friends (lol) and take on the challenge together! The folks serving up the burgers are always super kind and attentive to their guests' needs. The restaurant has an old school yet modern diner/burger joint vibe. Perfect for a family outing, a meal with friends, or a chance to catch a game with a delicious burger. And if you take on the Big Jud 2lb Burger and need an extra hand, feel free to save me a seat. lol

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.

We arrived around 5pm and the place was empty with the exception of one family, but drive thru was consistent. We were able to place our orders quickly. Even though the combo upgrade (fries or tots + drink) is very affordable, overall meals are a tad on the pricier side. We ordered a basic cheeseburger combo and the Bacon Cowboy highland burger combo, total was $29, not including tip. The place has a "not updated since 1990", but clean vibe. Food came out quickly and our customized meals came out correctly. We were a tad underwhelmed with the look of the burgers...for the price we were hoping for a wow factor. The burger patties were pretty thin and overcooked (more chewy than melt in your mouth). Toppings were fresh and the buns were soft. Tater tots and fries were perfectly cooked, though fries come out unsalted which I'm not sure was intentional or not (I appreciated the option to salt to taste). Overall, a pleasant experience and I wouldn't mind trying other items on the menu.

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.

After hearing so many glowing recommendations, this was a disappointing Father's Day brunch…read more My husband ordered the brisket and eggs breakfast and enjoyed it. The brisket was flavorful, the grits were good, and he substituted a biscuit for toast. Oddly, the biscuit was served completely plain. When I asked a staff member if it normally came with butter or jam, they looked genuinely confused by the question. I eventually just asked for jam, but it felt like a strange interaction. I ordered the Brisket Benedict and the Monte Cristo. The Benedict looked great when it arrived, but one poached egg was perfectly runny while the other was significantly overcooked with a mostly solid yolk. The brisket was dry, the collard greens underneath were dry, and there wasn't enough hollandaise to compensate. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and fine, but nothing memorable. The Monte Cristo was the biggest letdown. When I order a Monte Cristo, I expect something rich, savory, and indulgent. This version was made with bland white bread, the bacon was very soft, and the sandwich lacked the flavor and texture that make a Monte Cristo worth ordering. It looked better than it tasted. Service was pleasant, but no one checked on our table after the food arrived, despite the restaurant not being very busy. Had someone stopped by, I would have mentioned the overcooked egg. Overall, one good dish out of three isn't enough to make me want to return. Based on this visit, I'd give it 3 stars.

Man I really miss this food truck popping by my work every Wednesday last year! Bel Cibo delivers…read moresome of the tastiest hot sandwiches you can get in Boise! I urge anyone to give them a try if you see them hanging out. All their sandwiches are $8 or $10 if you add fries and drink. It might seem steep, but it's definitely worth it. One meal could feed two. The high quality ingredients and deliciousness further justify the price. My absolute favorite and number one recommendation is the Hobieyaki (grilled chicken teriyaki with slaw drizzled with creamy Asian sauces topped with sesame seeds). My first bite into this holy sandwich and I lost all my senses. All I knew was that I was eating one of the most delicious sandwiches I'd ever had. The chicken is grilled so perfect and bursting with flavor. If you try one sandwich from Bel Cibo it's gotta be this one. I've also had the Greengo Pork (slow roasted carnita style shredded pork on green chile cream cheese and slaw topped with roast green chile salsa, fresh onion and cilantro) and the Shrimpie (grilled shrimp on slaw drizzled with creamy Asian sauce topped with cucumber pico). Both were outstanding! I'd like to highlight the shrimp used in the sandwich isn't the disgusting tiny crap that comes in a can. It's the big juicy kind you can actually enjoy. I've never talked much to the owners because they've always been so busy when I'm there but they seem like a very nice family. I wish they would park their truck around town again but I haven't seen them since COVID. I hope to see them very soon!

Bel Cibo This Boise-based food truck is one of my…read morefavorites. The name means "beautiful food." Owners Leo and Jana Berejkoff are serving up high quality, hearty and deliciously wonderful sandwiches that rival any I have ever had. I am an omnivore, but I also cook, so it is rare that I get excited about sandwiches or chicken in general, but Bel Cibo's break all the rules. I have visited Bel Cibo twice within three weeks and have tried three of the sandwiches, all of which are available as Tacos for those that require a gluten-free diet. There are four sandwiches available daily, all of which rotate with the exception of the top-seller Hobie Yaki. The Hobie Yaki is the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. It is better even than the former Seattle restaurant Baguette Box's Crispy Drunken Chicken sandwich, which made that restaurant famous. Truth be told, I was reluctant to try the Hobie Yaki, as well as The Shrimpie because I have an adversion to "sweet meat." I am the rare female that prefers savory to sweet and I do not enjoy anything that skews too sweet as an entree. As a result, I find most teriyaki too sweet. The Hobie Yaki is grilled chicken teriyaki on slaw, drizzled with creamy Asian sauce, topped with sesame seeds.It's difficult to describe the complexity of the sandwich. The average person is going to find it incredibly delicious. Those who cook ate going to marvel at the layers of flavor (including smoky) textures and temperatures that elevate this sandwich beyond all expectations. For my first visit, my friends SH and JG both got The Kickin' Creole, which both loved. I was struggling to decide between the three remaining sandwiches because the description of each made me fear that "sweet meat "was involved. Sensing my dilemma, the young man who was working with Leo, kindly offered to make me a 1/2 and 1/2 sandwich, essentially one whole sandwich comprised of two different half sandwiches. I resisted, feeling that was too much trouble in an unreasonable request, but he insisted. I am glad he did because I had the opportunity to try the Hobie Yaki and The Shrimpie, both of which are excellent. These sandwich descriptions sound somewhat similar, as both have slaw and creamy Asian sauce, but they are entirely different. On my second visit, I was picking up a sandwich for a friend, who left it up to me to decide what to order for them. I asked Jana if I could order two different sandwiches and have them package them as 1/2and1/2s in the back. She kindly agreed. I knew for sure that one of the sandwiches must be the Hobie Yaki, but I was struggling to decide on the second, when Jana suggested I try the Greengo Pork, which is based on Leo's famous carnitas recipe and a big part of the reason why the Berejkoffs decided to open a food truck. Given that, how could I resist? The Greengo Pork sandwich is slow roasted "carnitas style "shredded pork on green chili cream cheese and slaw, topped with roasted green chili salsa, ground mustard and black and bell pepper. Jana shared that she never liked carnitas until she tried Leo's. I on the other hand, have never encountered Carnitas I did not enjoy, but like everything the Berejkoffs do, the Greengo Pork is fantastic! Please be sure to check out all of the attached photos, which include pictures of all of the sandwiches mentioned above, as well as the menus both times I visited. The best way to keep track of Bel Cibo is by liking and following them on FB and/or StreetFoodFinder, a free app. If you do happen to visit, I would appreciate it if you let Jana and Leo know that you heard about Bel Cibo on Southern Idaho Foodies! Highly Recommended!!!
