I spent three days in Boise, and ate at Joe's two of them. I found the food to be very good, and the atmosphere to be great. Good food, fun, and good prices. Don't know what more you could want. more

After reading the review in the Idaho Press Tribune, I wonder if the food critic went to the same place as I did. I checked the location and it was indeed the same Joe's Crab Shack at the former Chart House location. While I agree that the wait staff was friendly and there was a general atmosphere of fun in... more
