4 stars overall, but 5 stars for their fries, which are a MUST ORDER at Boise Fry Company. I loved the variety of sauces, seasonings, potatoes they use for fries, and style of fries.
Their burger menu is pretty simple, they have 3 different styles of burgers (Original, Classic, Heat) with a few options for proteins (beef, bison, funguy/mushroom, turkey, vegan). You then have the option to customize with cheese and other toppings. Fries options include: russet, gold, red, yam, sweet, purple; options for cut of fries: regular, homestyle, curly, shoestring, po'ball (available cuts change daily at the different locations). They had 9 different dipping sauces available that day (ketchup, spicy ketchup, Boise fry sauce, BBQ, garlic aioli, pumpkin aioli, roasted jalapeno ranch, chipotle, blueberry ketchup). They also had a variety of dry seasonings, but I decided not to use any for my fries and didn't pay as much attention to these.
There was no line at 6:45pm on a Sunday, and it was about a 10 minute wait for my order. They were out of sweet potato fries at the time, but I believe they were making more. I ended up trying:
-The Classic (Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Housemade Pickles, Special Sauce, $7.30 + $3 Double Burger + $0.95 Cheddar + $1.50 Bacon + Gold Potato Fries/Kids Size, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BU9diYKx1eqY3tR6FFfQ6Q&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): This ended up being a giant burger with the double patty, and I liked the Classic burger more than The Heat version. However, I believe they smash their burger patties and cook them until well done, and they weren't as juicy as I'd prefer. On the other hand, the gold potato fries were DELICIOUS, and perfect. I loved how perfectly crispy they were, and super fresh tasting- a must order!
-The Heat (Lettuce, Blueberry Compote, Habaneros, Spicy Ketchup, $7.30 + $0.95 Pepperjack + Purple Potato Fries/Kids Size, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LfqABmpwWOhKf5K5TZREPQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): The burger was just ok; I liked that the habaneros added some heat, but I should've definitely added the "turn up the heat" for an additional $0.50. The burger patty was too well done for my preference, and I didn't like the style of bun they used (it was a little dry). Also, the blueberry compote made the burger really messy to eat. However, the purple potato fries were delicious, and I could've just eaten a giant bowl of these for my meal and have been happy. The fries were perfectly fried, and crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. These were definitely starchier than the gold potatoes, but still really good- recommended!
Pro-tip if you want to try a variety of different fries- order a kids size, since two kids size fries equals a small size.
I tried a small amount of almost all the different dipping sauces, and my favorites were their roasted jalapeno ranch and chipotle. The pumpkin aioli was really unique and tasted like pumpkin, but had a thick consistency. The blueberry ketchup and garlic aioli were solid, but the Boise fry sauce was a little too acidic for my preference.
Their staff was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back for more fries if back in the area, and would want to check out the bourgeouis fries, as well as the yam fries and po'balls style. Both indoor and outdoor seating was available. Parking in this area wasn't too difficult to find, and they had street parking spots.
