Eight Boise Restaurants That Caught a Skeptical Visitor Off Guard

BOISE, ID—A visitor arrived in Boise without much in the way of food expectations and left with a list of eight restaurants he’d return for, according to TikTok creator @hasanguy, whose recap of the trip has been circulating on the platform.

The itinerary covers a lot of ground. According to @hasanguy, Stardust (1002 W Main St) opened with lobster Benedict and duck and waffles.

The Boise Post (1005 W Grove St, 16th floor) added Wagyu skirt steak and lamb meatballs with a skyline backdrop. Spud Daddy (404 S 8th St) got the Chipotle-but-for-baked-potatoes comparison.

Goldy’s Breakfast Bistro (108 S Capitol Blvd) announced itself via line length. Lost Grove Brewing in Hyde Park (1602 N 13th St) went wide—wings, Korean fried chicken, a burger, and bao buns.

Guru Donuts (928 W Main St) and Goody’s Soda Fountain (1502 N 13th St) handled the sweet end of things.

The can’t-miss moment, per @hasanguy: the ice cream potato at Westside Drive In (1929 W State St or 1113 Park Center Blvd). It is, in fact, ice cream. It does, in fact, look like a baked potato. Locals already know this; visitors apparently need to be warned.
