We finally decided to give Rick's a try. We started off dinner with the rock shrimp appetizer. The batter is something like a tempura, very light, and is served with a homemade garlic chile dipping sauce and a cool celery slaw. All three elements worked well together and the dish was well portioned for two. I opted for the double cut pork chop while my wife went for the salmon in potato. Each were cooked perfectly - flavorful and juicy. The salmon dish was an interesting combination of textures with the crispy potato and tender fish. Clearly a lot of thought went into preparing this dish. The pork chop was cooked thoroughly despite being nearly two inches thick. The service was extremely attentive and considerate. Additionally, the ambiance is unique and interesting. Looking over the press clippings provided for some great conversation. Overall a great value when price is factored in with service, food quality, and ambiance.

Great food and service. The ambiance could use some work as the place looks like they never finished decorating. Also very loud due to hard wood floors and high ceilings. Food was very good!
(4)Katie L.
It's been delicious every time we've eaten there. The food is suberb and the service was great! Their meatloaf is my favorite item on the menu!

I've been here many times and it's my go-to restaurant when I'm in the Treasure Valley. I've tried most things on the menu and love them all. Most memorable was a duck confit they had as a special. Yummy. Oh, and also a corn chowder (if I remember correctly) that I had on my first visit. That said, I did have two meals that I really didn't think lived up to Rick's standards - a lobster special and a blackened marlin. If it wasn't for those two meals, five stars all around. Love the cozy environment and the tucked away location.

Perched by the front door is a smoker emitting the wonderful aroma of rosemary and chicken. This was tonight's special, half a smoked chicken on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes smothered with rosemary dripping aus jus. Party of seven, three had the special, two the shrimp fettuccine, one the double cut roasted pork hop, and the final young person feasted on in-house made chicken nuggets. All were very satisfied. A cozy downtown eatery with comfort food plus. Not just filling, but well prepared. My smoked chicken was crispy, yet tastefully juicy with full flavors. A+!
(5)Sarah B.
Meatloaf was delicious. Mashed potatoes would have been bland alone but gravy made them. Julienned zucchini was crisp and hot. Place was deserted at 5:30pm on Wednesday. Waitress was very nice.
(4)Steve W. G.
Good food just make sure you are aware that the rueben sandwich comes in 2 sizes half and whole. $11 would have been good for the whole not for the half. I about passed out when I saw I was charged $18 for a Ruben sandwich. No sandwich in the valley is worth that much.l kind of feel like the waitress should have asked if I wanted a half or a whole. I am still kicking myself for that fiasco.
(3)Dan H.
This place is absolutely ridiculous! Best food within 100 miles of the Boise area. This time I ordered the lemon chicken with the corn mash. I think each meal I get is better than the last. If you are anywhere close to this area, you need to come eat at Rick's. I had the pleasure of meeting Rick for the first time tonight and he was extremely friendly and even ordered me a dessert. This was not just any dessert. It was a flaming Tiramisu! I was absolutely stuffed from the meal, but had no problem taking care of that dessert. (and I am not even a tiramisu fan). Although it was a Tuesday night, the place was completely packed due to a soccer tournament in the Boise area. The staff did an absolutely fantastic job of taking care of several large groups, while still making me feel like I was important. I can't say enough good things about this place. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a memorable experience.
(5)Nathan B.
Great food. Let me repeat that, great food. I had the crab as an appetizer and the catfish for the entrée. Both were delicious. Getting seated was a bit of a challenge but you can't fault them for me showing up on Friday evening during dinner time. Prices were great, as was the quality/quantity of food. I will go back every time I'm in town.
(5)Shannon L.
A little better than average, but nothing spectacular. Had the burgers - very good. But the fries are your typical frozen potato slices. The ranch dressing was really good. Minus points for being really slow. We were the only customers and the burgers took a full 20 mins.
(4)Shawn J.
Never had a chance to eat the food !!! Was turned away by a very unhappy looking waitress with an hour left before closing. She said they were short staffed and basically said leave. To bad, we are locals with lots of friends and 4 kids. Ive since told people to go elsewhere. There loss!!!
(1)Greg S.
Would love to eat here but I have to give 1 star for terrible hours. Get your shit together rick
(1)Karen G.
Had Rick's Press Room cater a lunch for our business organization. Trying to get 40 people to agree on food is almost impossible, but Rick's did it with room to spare. Meatloaf sliders were a hit with EVERYBODY, even the meatloaf haters. Sandwich pops, pasta salad with roasted veggies, loaded baked potato salad (baked potatoes with skins on, bacon, cheddar) and brownies. YUM! Cost effective, plenty of quality food, great value. I'm sure we'll be using Rick's again and again.
(5)Patty S.
This place never disappoints unless you're some sort of snob or something! The owners are very nice and welcoming and the food is always great. Try anything on the menu from the meatloaf to salmon to the ribeye...it's all very tasty. And make sure to try the corn mash - it's amazing.
(5)Sharon M.
Best ever! Curry, our waitress was quite the lady. She greeted us right away and answered all our questions. The chef shops twice daily and the salad and vegetables certainly reflect his attention to detail. The presentation was equally as good as the flavor. Overall customer service and quality of food was superb!
(5)Mongoose J.
First time here, service was a little slow, but waitress working alone, so that is certainly excused. Shrimp fettuccine was awesome. Overall fantastic experience. We will be back for more.
(5)Foodie P.
Stop the presses! There's something punny going on here! Headlines are what draw your interest to a newspaper and can sometimes make or break an edition. Not that anyone under the age of thirty knows what a newspaper is anymore, or even what news is that doesn't involve a social network link. Rick and Julie over at Rick's Press Room know a little bit about newspapers and headlines; or at least it would appear so to the casual observer in their little restaurant in downtown Meridian. The walls are littered with headlines of dead people and old crap nobody cares about anymore. But don't judge the place by the decor. The one thing everyone that comes to Rick's Press room does care about, other than trying to catch a glimpse of Guy Fieri and his trademark Comaro (give it up kids, Guy has left the building!), is the food that has received quite a few raves from some of the locals and international customers, many of which have adorned the walls of Rick's Press Room with their own headlines via Sharpie. So, I decided to follow the crowd and try out this little joint. I was in the mood to sniff out a good story and it just so happened that the smoker was spewing its little love puffs right outside the front entrance. Nice marketing! Not sure what was in the smoker, but I'm certain it was worthy of its own story below the fold. Now, I think I know what Rick and Julie (the owners - hence the name "Rick's Press Room" - keep up kids) were going for with the interior of the place; that eclectic, shabby, recycled newspaper design with a feeling of casualness and fun, but it was more reminiscent of my old college dorm room than a restaurant setting you would expect to see based on all of the published raves. But my college dorm room was a lot of fun and as I recall, there may have been a bit of smoking going on in there too. So, maybe it works. I asked about the specialties of the house and was told that pretty much everything was good (canned answer. C'mon, grow a pair! This is your chance to push the highest margin dish!). So I decided to go with a bit of seafood and ordered the Crab Melt with a bowl of the Clam Chowder. Say it with me . . . chow-dah! My dining partner had the raved about burger with simple bacon and cheddar (che dah). we also ordered a loaf of their warm sour dough bread with butter to get our taste buds hopping. As promised, the bread was warm and also moist in the center with a crispy crust. The accompanying real butter was a nice contrast to the whipped look-a-likes you normally get at restaurants. Not bad. The chowder was the soup of the day and I found myself wishing for a little more density to the bowl. A bit loose for my taste and a little shy on flavor, but it did have plenty of clams, potatoes and celery and went well with a bit of the sour dough bread. Pretty good, but not great. The crab melt was not what I expected. The copious amounts of mayo and Parmesan really overwhelmed the mechanically separated crab meat, that didn't have much flavor to begin with, and it became lost in the struggle for prominence within the sandwich. The crab filling was topped with melted Swiss cheese. Typically, the blending of cheese and seafood is a no-no situation and liable to make chefs and food critics a bit crabby. In this instance, I happen to agree. Even though there was a good amount of crab meat in the filling, the combination of the other heavy handed ingredients really didn't do the sandwich any favors and I would have opted for a smaller portion with an emphasis on the crab than the mayo and cheese. The burger was cooked well done (as requested by my dining partner) but still retained its moisture and was tender. A bit of salt would have enhance the meat flavor. The bacon was slightly limp but not bad and the cheddar was typical for the area. The accompaniments seemed fresh and crisp, but the most redeeming quality of the burger was the bun; it was warm, moist and was toasted nicely for a bit more added texture. The fries . . . . frozen! Seriously?! We are in Idaho, people. What does it take to get some good fries around here?! The service we received was outstanding! Prompt, attentive, but not overbearing. Kudos! Overall, really not a bad meal, no headlines worthy of the National Enquirer, but maybe the Red Bud Gazette might be an option.
(3)Stuart C.
Excellent food. The ambience isn't really in line with the price. However, the flavor and quality of the food were as consistently great as any restaurant that I have visited in Boise (including the fancy ones). My reuben cost $18, but was wonderful. Even the side salads were noticeably great. It is pretty expensive for a mid-level restaurant, but is my new favorite restaurant in the area anyways.
(5)KC J.
This was my third time at Ricks' Press Room, I highly recommend this place. Incredible service, Amazing Food, and all fresh. The potato crusted salmon was delightful tonight, the ribeye is spectacular! I also recommend the tasting menu, different all the time. I'm a Jew and Rick has no problems working with my dietary restrictions. I am just in love with this place! K.C Jeanotte
(5)Jill L.
We went on Friday night and it was packed, which to me is a great sign at a restaurant! The waitstaff kept up with the crowd quite gracefully. The salmon was amazing! My husbands ribeye was delicious as well. So glad we got to try this triple D gem!
(5)Shea M.
Always a fun place to visit. I've tried probably everything on the menu and have been so impressed. Come and write your name on the wall with a sharpie. It always feels like Cheers. You know, where everybody knows your name?!
(4)Mike M.
Another strange city, another phenomenal meal thanks to yelp. I did a quick search in the Meridian/Boise area. Rick's popped up with some great reviews. I checked the website and found a link to YouTube for one of Guy Fieri's dives, Diners and Drive ins. I watched the clip m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx… And headed straight for my rented car. I walked in the place was completely empty. Not a good sign. Oh well... I already knew what I was going to order and I was able see that Rick, the owner, was in the kitchen. No guesswork here. I walked straight up to the bar and a cute gal named Curry was waiting for me. She gave me a taste of a couple of the local beers. I chose a pale ale (can't remember the name, but she said it was made with some kind of swamp water...) and grabbed a table. From the video clip, I chose the hot wings, a bowl of cheese soup and the potato salmon dish. Rather than bore you with the description of the dishes, watch the clip if you are really interested. It was fantastic. The service was great. The owner poked his head out and thanked me. Happy belly........
(5)Jack M.
Had the lunch special which was a Italian sausage turkey burger with the salad and balsamic dressing. It was literally the best burger I have ever had( any type of meat!) this place had a good mix of locals, regulars and out of towners. Service was good and the decor was pretty original. A must if you are in meridian!
(5)Ben K.
We went for dinner and it was awesome. The staff was very nice and the food delicious. The salmon was outstanding and I would go back and have it again. I Will be recommending to friends and family as a great place to eat.
(5)Patrick C.
I never knew this place existed until we moved a few doors down. By far the best food I have had in a long time, I am addicted! thanks Rick, you have a new regular.
(5)John S.
Started with the crab dip and wings...delish! Had to go in on the salmon and loved it. Not big on chain restaurants and have been here 3 times now and have never been disappointed. Rick sent us a free flaming tiramisu to top our night off. I had no room left but had to try it and it just melted in my mouth. Signed my name on the wall and can't wait to come back!
(5)Jennifer L.
I was very disappointed. I good friend of mine made a reservation for a special dinner for my birthday. I had been really looking forward to trying several items on the menu since watching DDD. We walked in, and there were 4 people in front of us. We stood there for a few minutes, and the people in front of us were seated. We took a seat behind the "please wait to be seated" sign, but we were never greeted, Twenty minutes later, we look at each other and ask if it would be okay to go to the bar for a drink while we wait for our table. We would have asked someone if they just would have looked at us. We felt as if we were a burden to their business, they were too busy to care that we were even there. We walked out, not a hi, or hello, or how are you was spoken. We walked around the corner and had a wonderful meal and experience at Flatbread Pizza. Can't comment on the food, wish I could, but I can tell you, a little customer service goes a long way, and by the sounds of the people at Flatbread, they get A LOT of Rick's Press Room's business, for the same reasons we left.
(2)Nate W.
My daughter and I were here for a date. We had lots of fun :-) one the thing that is nice about this restaurant is it will give you a sharpie and you can write on the wall. Their food was exceptional. I ordered the salmon BLT and my daughter got the plane hamburger. As an eight-year-old, she said "This was some very good food."That's saying a lot when we have ate a lot of hamburgers in this town and at home. Their service is pretty slow. We were there and hour just to have 2 plates of food. We were served before this time but it was about 10 minutes before we were given water and additional 10 minutes before we were given our appetizer. When we were there there was only one waitress service all the customers. I think if their service increases, so will the reputation. Also remember that their hours are very unique so look on the website. When I called, I was sent to the answer machine. The answer machine didn't say their hours of operation. I found that very odd. We will go back and we will enjoy ourselves. we will just have to remember to schedule more time.

While visiting Idaho, my boyfriend and I (and his family) stopped by Ricks. We came from the recommendation of Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We were here on a Friday evening. It was very busy especially with a few big parties around. I advise to make reservations. Since our group was not in a hurry we waited by the bar and ordered drinks. After waiting half an hour or so we were finally able to get a table. I guess with our group being patient we were serviced two orders of Rock Shrimp upon receiving a table. The Rock Shrimp was amazing. Loved the flavor of the chile garlic sauce. My boyfriend who is not a fan of shrimp could not stop himself from eating it. We ordered the Press Room Burger and Sun Valley Club. We split our entrees and both were very good. The Sun Valley Club was light and crispy. The club was perfect. I order it with the House Salad with Ranch Dressing which was very good. The Press Room Burger was very flavorful and mouthwatering. It was hands down the best burger I've ever had. My boyfriend could not stop talking about it. Everything with Rick's was great. The service was good and the staff was very helpful. The food was amazing. If my boyfriend and I are in the area we will stop by again, no doubt about it.
(5)Karla D.
We were starved and I was looking forward to a good evening. We waited 20 minutes to even have any wait staff ask if we would like anything to drink (a table sat after us were served before us). They hadn't even given us a menu with drink choices so it took a bit to get a glass of wine and a beer. I got the meatloaf which was adequate, but the mashed potatoes were watery and the oil the veggies were cooked in must have been old. I really couldn't eat it so I'm glad my husband had plenty of fries! He liked his Rueben- so not all was bad. Dissapointed.
(2)Brian B.
Some friends from out of town we're coming for a special occasion, so I suggested Rick's. The friends were a little skeptical when they arrived, as the outside of the building and the interior hide what will be a fantastic meal. Rick and his wife Julie went all out to make this a special night. We had a four course meal with a flaming dessert. Everyone was blown away, especially the potato encrusted salmon. They all want to eat there next time they are in town!
(5)Jeff R.
Lived up to the hype! Excellent food, excellent service! You can taste the love in Rick's food! Will be back again.
(5)Mark B.
I have paid a lot more for food that isn't as good. The atmosphere is cool. The food is fantastic and the service is as friendly as you will find anywhere. I will go back here any time I am close.
(5)Troy G.
In town for work and checked this place out after seeing it on Triple D. I wasn't disappointed. After a brief wait, which they almost over apologized for, I was seated. Being original (sarcasm) I ordered the salmon in potato dish as featured on the show. Perfectly cooked salmon, encrusted with crisp hash browns, sitting on a small bed of mashed potatoes with a lemon type of cream sauce. Excellent dish fo sho. I would have liked a little stronger lemon flavor in the sauce but that's just a personal preference. Great food and very friendly service. Hopefully I'll have enough time to make one more trip here prior to leaving.
(4)Savannah R.
Holy moley was this place amazing. We love Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and we were so glad Guy pointed us in this restaurants direction. I am a vegetarian and Rick himself cooked an awesome grilled veggie and cheese concoction for my lunch while my carnivorous husband had the steak sandwich (which he claimed was absolutely magnanimous.) We decided we hadn't had enough and went back for dinner, yes two times in the same day. Dinner was even better, fettuccini alfredo for me and the salmon for my husband. Both were incredible. Rick remembered us from lunch and came out to introduce himself and thank us for our patronage, which is a fantastic happening for any foodist and DDD fan. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
(5)Greg G.
This place was a relief to find. Most of the time when I am in Boise, I acquiesce to the ubiquity of the chain restaurants in the area. This is especially true in Meridian which if you go to the dictionary and look up bland suburbia, that's sort of what you can expect (until now). Nothing against suburbia, it's just that cuisine in many places like that is not really cuisine nor is it really cooked completely on site etc. So, when my colleague suggested that we try this place, I was quite eager to give it a shot. Especially since I have visited a number of DDD places from Food Network and have not been disappointed. I had the meatloaf sandwich which was served on grilled sourdough with LTM. (I asked for the mayo on the side, figuring that there would be enough lubrication from the meat itself. I was correct and saved myself a couple hundred calories in the process. So, this marvel of a sandwich was now only about 1500 calories instead of 1750! The meat was perfectly seasoned, the bread was fresh and the fries were decent as well. The only way it could have been better would have been if the fries had been fresh cut My colleague had the crab melt which was also served on Boise's version of sourdough which was decent but certainly not as good as the stuff I had grown accustomed to in the Bay Area but one cannot be picky when in Boise. Ultimately this place is a great place for breakfast or lunch and is in old Meridian (or essentially what has not been overtaken by strip malls, Wal Marts, Targets, Starbucks etc. Oh, one other piece of advice, if you want to write on their wall, you'd better hurry as they're running out of space!!!
(4)Jeff S.
Went here bc of good old Guy And DDD. Ive been to about 20 DDD stops and I've only been disappointed once. This was not that one! Service was awesome. Atmosphere is great. People sign the wall and write recommendations which always helps. Food was incredible. Got the rock shrimp, pea soup, and potato encrusted salmon. Highlight for me was the salmon. The lemon butter sauce was knock your socks off good. I was practically licking my plate. The house made hash brown crust was great. You could taste the freshness of the local Idaho potato! If i am ever back in Boise I will def stop back here. The pork chop is next on my list!
(5)Emily A.
You know a restaurant is amazing when you have recurring dreams about the delicious steak you ate there. Yummy steak, pork chops are amazing, the salmon is phenomenal and I don't even like salmon! We love the cool newspapers all over the walls and watching Rick in the kitchen doing what he does best. The only thing we don't enjoy is the smell of stale cigarette smoke from the smoke shop next door. Still worth it though to eat this yummy food!
(5)Sally S.
Had the Chile and Garlic Wings and could not stop until I was literally licking my fingers! Rick was super friendly checking in with the guests and food was delivered straight from the grill to your table with the ring of a bell. Will be back!!
(5)Amanda L.
Had a blast here the other night when we decided to try it out with a friend visiting from out of state. The food was amazing and well worth the wait (reservations recommended). I'm going to have to start walking there just to work it all off.
(5)Dennis Z.
I made a point of finding this out of the way place after seeing it featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. I wasn't disappointed. The staff was anxious to serve and impress. The walls in the place are filled with front-page headlines from newspapers around the nation. In between papers are hand written statements, graffiti, from people who had visited the place. The wall is covered and it fits in well with the newsprint. The food was out standing. I remembered seeing the garlic chicken wings appetizer, and the salmon with hash-browns featured on the show, and I knew I had to try them. Fabulous. I could have made a meal out of two appetizers, and I might next time. I saw people served the clam dip. It is an appetizer too but they obviously were ordering it as diner. The was served in a baked potato, a BIG one, it looked so good I almost changed my order. The salmon was very good; not too moist or too dry. The hash-browns were cooked into one side of the salmon served over a small helping of garlic mashed with a light cream gravy and zucchini squash. I thought I ordered too much, but it disappeared before I knew it. Thanks to the DDD show I found a place that lives up to the hype.
(5)Spice O.
My goal is to try out other dishes on the menu, but I can't venture away from the potato encrusted salmon--I order it every time! It's soooo good!
(5)Warren P.
We are regulars and have never been let down. We are known here by name and this fits our bill of cozy unique places with good food. Rick has a simple menu and regularly has specials. I happen to be a fan of his wings and always plan on getting them until I hear the specials. If you come visit us, Ricks is in our top five places we are going to take you too.
(5)Sara W.
Went to this restaurant on a recent visit to Idaho while spending some time with family. My mom and sister had told me about this place being featured on a food channel show called "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and had said that everyone was raving about their phenomenal salmon, both on the show, and off. So, with salmon being one of my favorite foods, we decided to go there for my birthday dinner. The salmon dish is a salmon filet breaded with hash browned potatoes, resting on a small bed of some mashed potatoes underneath, and topped with a lemon garlic sauce...YUM!! It was delicious! The staff was all very friendly, and I especially liked how they all seemed to really work together. Instead of one server per table, they all seemed to work as a team making sure everyone was taken care of at all times...it was refreshing to see a group of people working so closely together with obviously the customer's best interest in mind, instead of worrying about individual tips. My mom and I had the salmon dish, my stepdad had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes which he said was excellent, and my little sister had the fettuccine Alfredo which I know was also very tasty because I stole a few bites. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in Idaho looking for a satisfying meal in a comfortable cute little place!
(5)Kent G.
Out of this world! Everything first class and exceptionally good. We will be back many times!
(5)Rosalie R.
We decided to check out Rick's following its being featured on the 8-17 episode of Guy Fieri's, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. This restaurant, neither a diner, drive-in, nor dive is a small bar and grill in Meridian, a burb of Boise. Decor is nice, clean and comfy. Service was a bit spotty but the fact that Rick is the cook and his wife and daughter are the wait staff, I will give the spotty a pass. We decided to order the chili garlic wings with celery slaw that was highlighted on the show. They were absolutely delicious as promised and they did not disappoint. For the entree, I had the Apple Pecan Salad - except for the pecans which seemed freshly spiced and toasted, the salad was spiritless mostly due to the basic balsamic vinaigrette. Boring! My bf had the meatloaf sandwich which was just plain weird. It was a huge slice of meatloaf with onions, lettuce and tomatoes. The tomatoes on the sammy were so pale it made me homesick for winter in Philly. Yo Rick, tomatoes are in season in Idaho. If we go back on this trip, I really would like to try the salmon potato cake also featured on DDD. Perhaps between the salmon entree and the chicken wings I would be charitable and bump Rick's to 4 stars. Overall though, this was a very unremarkable experience.
(3)Phillip D.
My wife and I had to try this place after seeing it on Diners Drives ins and Dives. I had burger. My wife had Chicken alfredo. The burger I had was just about the worst I have ever had. Totally lacking flavor. I had some of my wife's Chicken Alfredo. It was ok at best. its a fun place, but really? I did not get what all the fuss was about on DDD. The walls of the place and all written on by people saying it was the best food ever. If they do have the best food ever, we sure didn't get any of it. I know any restaurant can have a bad day. But its like that old expression. You never get a 2nd chance to make a good 1st impression. We won't be going back.
(1)Sarah B.
Prices are good, service is attentive, food is great. Atmosphere is ok.
(4)Mike V.
Full Disclosure: We never even got to try the food. We saw the glowing Food Network review and decided to check it out for Friday dinner. We walk into the place and there are three families ahead of us. A girl comes up and explains that it will be a half hour wait for everyone, even though I can see at least 3 empty tables in the joint. No problem, I see that there are seats at the bar and ask if we can go sit there. The waitress gives us a look like we are really burdening her but acknowledges that we can sit there. So we do, for ten minutes. We don't get a menu, drink orders, or so much as a "how are you tonight?" from any of the servers bustling about making an obvious show of ignoring us. I get that they were busy, but it seemed like they didn't even care about us. To make things worse, a man and his date at the door asks one of the waitresses if he can have a drink while they wait. I couldn't hear the waitresses flippant answer but her body language said it all. The man got immediately angry and said, "How can you treat your customers like this and expect to stay in business!?" and then stormed out with his date. At the bar, the waitresses gathered and proceeded to talk smack about the man calling him names and pretending it was all his fault they couldn't help him. We are in earshot of all of this, but they still continued to pointedly ignore us. By then my girlfriend was practically in tears over how terrible the service was and we left never having seen a menu, ordered a drink, or even been greeted by the bartender. Terrible service and a big disappointment.
(1)Gabe M.
Ate there for the first time last night. I had the rib eye, a salad and a Manhattan made with Woodford Reserve bourbon. The salad had a couple funky lettuce pieces that I picked out, other than that it was delicious. The rib eye was perfect and my drink was really good. I will eat here again for sure.
(4)Christy H.
Awesome food. Friendly staff. Always something new on the menu to try. Love it here!
(5)Dave W.
Go here every time I'm in the Boise/Meridian area. Never disappointed and highly recommended!
(4)Kelly K.
Had the pastrami which was huge but nothing special about it really. Not a bad place but nothing super stellar and in this day and age when funds are hard to come by - super steller is the bare minimum in my book.
(2)Summer O.
Excellent. Amazing find. We were looking around downtown area when we happened upon Rick's. Lemon garlic chicken out of this world! Double cut pork chop melt in your mouth! Apple pecan salad a must do. Beer on tap from New York soooo tasty. The word needs to get out about this place. Can't wait to go back!
