Instructions

    • 1

      Visit the Dining Decisions and Idaho Eats websites to see what the experts picked as the top restaurants in the Boise area. Since both websites have more restaurants than just those in the Boise area, you need to search around a little bit to find those in the area.

    • 2

      Decide on the restaurants that you’re most interested in seeing for yourself by looking at what other people had to say. Read the reviews posted and get a feel for the type of food they serve. You can also weed out the places you aren’t interested in so you’ll know where to go and where not to go.

    • 3

      Call each restaurant directly and see if they take reservations. You might not think you need a reservation, but it can save you a long wait time once you arrive. Even if they don’t accept reservations you can still ask about the average wait time.

    • 4

      Ask about required attire or what people usually wear at the restaurant when you do call. If you show up in a suit and tie while everyone else is wearing jeans, you might feel uncomfortable. Also you could visit one restaurant without wearing the proper clothes and be refused admittance.

    • 5

      Drive to the restaurant and wait for your table. Order whatever you want and make sure you have fun while you’re there. Remember that if you’re visiting the town, you may never get the experience of eating there again!

Tips & Warnings

  • Check with any friends or family in the area about their favorite restaurants or try to find a message board or forum about the town. Usually the best restaurants are the places where the locals eat.

  • Don’t automatically assume that you don’t need a reservation at a restaurant. You might show up and find that they don’t have a table for you or that they have a three month waiting period.
