Kahootz Steak & Alehouse

Our trip to Kahootz was on Monday, the 21st. Nice restaurant in Meridian on Main St. A cozy atmosphere, not real big and they don't take reservations. I would suggest early dining. I had eaten here before I became a Yelper. The menu is not too extensive, letting them concentrate on their great dishes. I didn't get them this time, but try the Pterodactyl wings. It is an appetizer, but order a side and it's dinner. I ordered the pork chop with taters and a salad. The chop was a generous portion and well seasoned. The potatoes were nice and soft, perfectly done Only one drawback, I ordered it medium since I like a tiny bit of pink in my pork. It wasn't pink at all, but still good, just not as tender as I think it could have been. I do realize every eatery is concerned about food safety. The bread pudding was also good. The wait staff is excellent. We couldn't have been happier with the service.

Decided to give this place a try due to the ratings. The service and atmosphere was awesome and the food was delicious with the exception of the French fries. I feel like they were a bit undone or perhaps that's how they are served? I feel like its a bit overpriced for traditional American burgers, but that's just me. Also, my water glass wasn't fully clean/washed.

Our favorite steak house. It’s small and quiet. Tucked away back in the shade. Great beer selection best steaks that melt in your mouth. Best Prime Rib on Friday. You can’t forget about the dessert. The pterodactyl wings are crazy too.

I came to Kahootz and was welcomed by what you'd expect of a locally owned Idaho watering hole I.E. knowledgeable bartender, early greeting, open seating options with just enough hospitality, multiple refreshing drink or appetizers offered without much delay, and a good balance of family friendly options like soda but an impressive display of tap handles that took me on a journey of national favorite, through local selections, and even into a few chilled wine selections. I found the vibe and selections quite comfortable and after an easy selection and a pleasant conversation with the bartender Roger, I looked over the menu and was honestly surprised at the selection. Instead of fried everything and be a few sandwiches, I was being offered multiple steak cuts, prime rib specials, creative takes on classics, and not only a weekly special, but a Fresh Look on an entire menu created by the chef and his team, primarily displaying local ingredients or influences. I choose a Manhattan cut filet because I don't prefer bacon wrapped. I got the loaded baked potatoes, the veggies that accompanied it, and I chose to add on the snow crab. It came accompanied with a firm slice of bread that I was very thankful for after requesting raw horseradish and au sous from the kitchen (yeah they had em on hand in this "bar"). I could write 4 pages about how that food is worth every penny... But I'm going to save that for a blog, as this post is long enough. I'm no expert but bang for the buck, Kahootz is the best I've seen in a while. If anyone has a rival, man I look forward to trying it too as the culinary world in Idaho is FINALLY expanding.

I went here with a friend and got the Reuben sandwich with fries. The Reuben was extremely good. There was a decent bout of meat but somewhat typical for most places. The cheese, sauerkraut, and sauce was good. The phrase are thicker fries than average and have a seasoning on them. Overall the food was good, but it’s a little on the pricey side at $19.

So glad to have stumbled upon this place! The food exceeded expectations. Our server, Sarah was very knowledgeable about the menu and history of the place, as well as a fun conversation! :) cannot wait to come back and try more options as everything sounded delectable!

Love this restaurant. The food is delicious and the bread pudding is amazing!!

This is a little hidden spot in Meridian with an outstanding beer selection and many wines to choose from too. The service here was top notch and the menu selection was fit for a meat-eater. My wife’s plate looked great and she liked it. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and it was good and well put together, but too much garlic for my taste and I think it had chopped onions in it? Not sure. Anyhow, there were several other items on the menu that I would like to try. So maybe next time I’ll change my review to a five star. One other thing…this place is not cheap so be prepared to pay. My wife and I paid over $80 for these to plates with the drinks (non-alcoholic).
