The food here is incredible, and very low priced! My husband and I both had the chicken kabob and a vegetable kabob, along with a salad. The kabobs were incredibly good and the salad was fresh. The garlic dressing for the salad was great. The kabobs were so good that we decided to try a lamb kabob and it was... more

The menu has tradational spanish (basque influence) items on the menu alongside regular favourites - a big step up from regular brew-pub food for sure!. The 'REAL Idaho' fries are not to be missed, along with the paella. Service was very friendly, down to earth and helpful. Food portions are very healthy and really good value. The pub room provided... more

I read this was highest rated place in Boise, so my wife and I went there last night. It lived up to the hype! I had an extra spicy lamb grinder and if you love really spicy (as in blazing hot!) food, then this is the thing to order! Restaurants never truly make things spicy, in my opinion, but this... more

Dined at the Gernika in downtown Boise. I was joined by several co-workers on a business trip. The atmosphere was clean and upscale, but the shape of the room made it a bit noisy. The sounds of the restaurant would carry across the room. But it's probably natural, because the place is a small distillery too. Not a brewhouse, but... more

One of the best local hangouts, traditional basque food, friendly people and service. I always get the grilled cheese on sheep herder bread, add pimentos or the potato frittata, with fresh cut french fries, and a few Red Seal pints.... yum! more

Love it

Thanks Jeff May for a great place to hang out and have a cold *COLD* beer. Last owner took pride in warm hops-pops I guess. Love the croquettas. more

Inexpensive, good traditional basque food. This definitely is a bar- not necessarily a family restaurant. Everything is great. If you want to try some great traditional basque food, get some croquettas. more

Nothing fancy, but everything is very good. This is my perfect pub grub place. The wine and beer are great and priced to make you smile. The house garlic salad dressing is great, the tuna melt is huge and yummy, the burgers are fantastic, fries are stupendous, and croquetas are better than anything else on the world. The soup is... more
