Fanci Freez…what is there to say? If you grew up in this area, as I did, you’re probably familiar with them. Hell, I’ve been going there since I was a kid. In my opinion, they are hands-down the best drive-in fast food eatery in town. Not for their hot food per se, but the desserts…I’ve […]
Burgers
Sometimes the past should remain just that…
onWell, time to clear the inbox of a few more places I’m having trouble making myself write about. Today’s theme is “What the hell happened to these places I used to love?!”The Original Pancake HouseJust after the turn of the century, I spent a couple of years living in Upstate New York. My tastes […]
Crooked Fence Brewing Co. Barrelhouse
onOkay, so I know my last review was of a brewpub as well. Sue me. The roommate and I hit two pretty much back-to-back. Crooked Fence Brewing Co.’s Barrelhouse is a little closer to home and with plenty of parking, so that made it a little easier for us to make it to.The Barrelhouse is […]
Better late than never, right?
onOccasionally I’ll go to a very new restaurant and have a frustrating experience, but see enough promise in them to realize maybe I should give them another chance down the road. That instinct has rarely let me down, but in this case pretty much everything I’ve heard and read has led me to believe that […]
Another serving of "meh"…
onI swear to you, I didn’t want to kick off the new year with another bunch of these, but I’ve been having a lot of mediocre experiences lately and I’m burying myself with them because I can’t get enthused about writing them up. Bear with me, and consider yourself warned…Stagecoach Inn’s Fried ChickenI guess we […]
A little end of the year housekeeping…
onIf you’ve read through my posts, you’ll see quite a few write-ups for places that I thought were pretty good, a fair amount for places that I absolutely adored, and a few for places that I just plain despised. That isn’t to say that I don’t go to eateries that I don’t have any strong […]
Burgerlicious
onI receive a fair amount of (mostly) good-natured teasing regarding how much I focus on burgers and food trucks here. So, for all of those people, here’s a review about a burger truck!Burgerlicious has been around for about a year now, and even though I’m just now writing them up, I tried them pretty much […]
The Chef’s Hut Cafe
onI’m sure a lot of you have had the experience of hearing about a place over and over again for years, but for whatever reason have never gotten around to actually trying it. Even though I’ve spent the majority of my life in the Boise area, there are still a lot of old restaurants I […]
Westside Drive In (State Street)
onOne thing I’ve learned in the time I’ve been doing this is that some places are, for lack of a better word, institutions. These establishments have fiercely loyal fanbases, including individuals who will resort to base insults and nonsensical rants should you speak ill of their darlings. Normally, I don’t like to give a lot […]
