Lively, with some cool, eclectic decor.
They have electronic/house music playing, but it's not super loud and fits the vibe. Open seating in the lounge area so got a seat right away about 8pm on a Saturday evening. It was about an hour wait for the patio area. Our server Angela was g

This was my first time visiting.
We had reservations that we made 2 weeks in advanced. It's a very popular restaurant so I definitely recommend getting a reservation weeks ahead. We were sat outside with a beautiful view of the lake. We ordered the oysters for our appetizer. Th

Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley Barbacoa Visit
My friends and I stopped in for dessert. We love the outdoor patio but love the ambiance of the interior of the Resturant. Everything on the menu is great but we loved coming in and just enjoying some dessert. Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready Kinder
The hot rock steak is next level without a doubt.
I have eaten at many of the top steakhouses all across the US and Barbacoa is number one in my book. The service is always amazing and the ambiance is top notch. Prices are very reasonable as well.
First time going to barbacoa and the experience was great
First time going to barbacoa and the experience was great our server was attentive fast and the place is huge busy but it didn't sound super loud the view from our table was great the drinks where absolutely done to perfection and so refreshing
Belongs in NYC or LA or DC. Fantastic!
Everything at this spot was unbelievable. Service was awesome with a knowledgeable and entertaining staff, quick service and great recommendations. Table-side guacamole was made the way we wanted and was so fresh and tasty, the steaks and lamb chops
Atmospheric. Excellent food, drinks and service.
A very happening eclectic restaurant and bar. Idyllic setting looking out from the deck across the pond to the trees and mountains in the background. Food was delicious. Wine excellent. Service very good. The atmosphere is really good too.
Kinda disappointing
Heard great things about this place. Came from out of town for a birthday trip. Made reservations and said was for birthday, confirmed with waiter at table. Wine ordered was out of stock, was offered another bottle at $10 more. Ok. Ordered apps, came
Amazing time….
This is hands down the best restaurant in boi. Great art, guac, and steak! Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley
Overated and overpriced
Made a reservation for the dining room and was seated in the bar. I asked to be moved which clearly annoyed the hostess who then sat us on the edge of the dining room and bar. Right out in the way of all the busboys, waiters and patrons passing by in
Super long wait time
Had reservations for 8:30 p.m. Didn't get seated until 9:00 p.m. took forever for them to take order. Food didn't come out until 10:00 p.m. ambiance is great, food was great, even the waitress was very nice. Just very disappointing overall
I'll go back again
It was perfect. Ryan our server was great and had good recommendations. Have a martini! The lamb was amazing. And as a calamari officianado the appetizer was some of the best ever. Ryan later gave us a quick tour of the restaurant and the specia
Outstanding
Freaking delicious! I highly recommend the rib eye cooked on the stone. Outstanding!!! Reasonably priced for high end food. I would go back!
Best experience at Barbacoa!
Our server Lily was amazing! She was Super friendly, attentive, and joyful to visit with! Our food was incredible and her assistant was also amazing. We got to sit outside on the back patio looking out on the lake with the heaters keeping us cozy and
This place is great.
It is my go to when in town and want to take clients out but not be fancy or stuffy. They have a great patio out back that is so relaxing just want to hang out there all night. The food no matter what I have tried from the sizzling steak on a rock to
I'm not a big dessert person, but Barbacoa does it so well
I'm not a big dessert person, but Barbacoa does it so well I just have to have them. This new special is a must try! Their customer service is also some of the best I've ever experienced!
This place like the average place.
It is supposed to be high end but the food tasted that of something on 8th.
Absolutely five star restaurant atmosphere inside was great.
We ate at an outside table overlooking the pond. Service was really good and the food was outstanding. If you are a foodie, this is the place to go.
It's a fun environment but that's about it.
Overpriced food. I ordered an old fashioned and it was straight whiskey with just an orange slice . My husband ordered a steak and mashed potatoes and is now dealing with food poisoning. The valley has much better places to go without being so overp
My wife picked this place for her birthday dinner.
We got there just in time to take full advantage of the happy hour deal, buy one drink, get one free. She ordered the special they had that day, the California Sea Bass, and I picked the Scallops they came as four large ones. The scallops were great
Went here for my husband's birthday.
Great service and atmosphere. Food portions are huge. Had to take home 1/2 of our dinner.
Sat on the patio.

Food was so good, loved the table guacamole and lemon drop.

Eat outside for a quiet dining experience
As SE Boise residents we love eating at Barbacoa. It is expensive, but if you want a special meal with a beautiful outdoor setting, this is a good choice. Two of us in our dining party are light eaters and we ordered from the Taco Bar menu. The othe

We attended in a party of 20. The service was excellent. The mini tacos were very good. My steak was fine and the next time I would order it a bit more cooked. Our water glasses never were empty and the drinks were spot on. The men’s room was impos
Very cool and delicious experience
Amazing food! Overall a great experience. Husband and I were there for a special occasion. We decided to experience the steak on a stone and it did not disappoint! Thank you. Service was great
Best dinner in Boise!
We come to Boise often, this was our first trip to Barbacoa. What a find! Atmosphere, service, selection, quality of food all 5 stars. We will be back for sure and we will be highly recommending this place to friends.
Wonderful gem in Boise!
Excellent atmosphere, service and food. Our entire group got the filet mignon and each of us loved it. Will go back next time for sure.
Not so great
This restaurant is very inconsistent. A hit or a miss on any given night. Tonight it was very slow service, cold potatoes, steaks cooked incorrectly for two of us at the table. What used to be a nice restaurant experience has pretty much turned in
Still great!
Still great steaks and cocktails! Looking forward to the new Coa Del Mar in Eagle, Id. Love the Coa De Jima downtown Boise!
Outstanding food, drinks, and service!
I was on a business trip and had dinner with a colleague here. The service was impeccable, the drinks and food innovative, and the setting along the pond lent to great ambience. My blackberry cocktail was served in an ice glass. My duck entree was

This place is simply the best.
At peak hours parts of the bar and dining area are quite loud, but the atmosphere is fun and the food can't be beat. The service is also phenomenal. We had a reservation recently where the hostess accidentally seated another party at our table, but t

The most honest review in can give.
Overall, not even close to being worth the money we spent. $250 for 4 people no alcohol included. Pros:- Staff vibe was average, they were nice, timely, helpful. No complaints there. They were good.- Interior design is cool if you're into that. - The
Hip restaurant that made me forget I was in Boise.
Staff are great and this restaurant kindly accommodated a group of eight who had reservations at another restaurant but experienced a kitchen fire. While the menu is compelling, I was disappointed in my food. The trout was fresh and beautifully prepa

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Barbacoa Grill Boise at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Barbacoa Grill Boise page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Barbacoa Grill Boise to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Barbacoa Grill Boise!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
