Saint Lawrence Gridiron - Smoked Meats & BBQ in Boise

This was our second brunch stop of our weekend in Boise, and this was also a great choice. Gavin was our bartender, and he gave us perfect service, while Chris was the server on duty, and he helped out with food recommendations, city recommendation, and everything in between. I had the Naked Sunbather Brown beer, and wife had a French 75, and both were worthy starts to the Sunday. For food, Chris recommended the Brisket Benedict after I gave him my laundry list of possibilities and it didn't disappoint. One thing I will say. All of the ingredients tasted high quality, but the brisket itself was a game changer. Tasted like it was cooked with extreme care. Wife had the shrimp and grits and loved the dish. The atmosphere was nice and energetic. No TV on for sports, but that is not really the experience at this place. We sat at the bar, but the table experience looked quality too. I spaced on taking additional pics of the restaurant, so sorry about that, but have included two pics of our food. The restaurant is right on 8th, so you are in the heart of everything post-meal. I highly recommend visiting here for a meal or a drink during any Boise fun, and see you there (the next time we are in Boise)...

Such amazing brunch. Service was as incredible as the food! Don't miss out on the brisket Benedict or mimosa carafe!

I ordered the PBR Platter with cornbread and requested a piece of brisket from the point (fattier end piece). The brisket was extremely dry where I had to dunk it in the beef tallow to eat half the piece. The cornbread was also super dry and inedible. The pulled pork had very little flavor and it’s a bad sign when you have to smother it in bbq sauce to get down. The ribs were 70% rib tip with no trimming of the back flap and the fat was not rendered very well because they served the ribs without removing the upper rib tip. The collard greens were well cooked but extremely sour. That’s all I could taste was vinegar. Coleslaw was under seasoned and also sour. It’s a pretty pricey entree with a sampling of all their meats but the entire meal was either dry or sour.

I visited Saint Lawrence Gridiron on 03/24/2023 and it was a delightful culinary experience! This place definitely gets a solid 5 stars from me. One of the standout items on their menu is the Dirty Bird sandwich ($16.00), and damn, it's a winner. The combination of tender Fried Chicken, tantalizing Louisiana spices, and just the right amount of chili oil creates an explosion of flavors in every bite. The sandwich is elevated further with the white BBQ sauce, perfectly balanced house slaw, and the tangy house pickles. It's a harmonious symphony of textures and tastes that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy! Another must-try item is the Sixth Man Burger ($17.00). The bacon jam adds a smoky sweetness that perfectly complements the grilled onions, while the special sauce adds a unique, zesty kick. The cheddar cheese melts beautifully over the juicy patty, and the jalapeños provide just the right amount of heat. Each bite of the Sixth Man Burger is a mouthwatering experience you won't soon forget. Apart from the exceptional food, the atmosphere at Saint Lawrence Gridiron is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations. The overall dining experience at Saint Lawrence Gridiron is undoubtedly worth a visit. If you're craving innovative and mouthwatering dishes, make sure to give this place a try!

If food is your love language this is the right spot for you. Phenomenal brisket. Slow cooked to perfection. If you love meat and southern flare this should be your first stop!

I went there with my family to celebrate Father’s Day’s for my son and my daughter-in-law’s Father. There were 5 adults, 1 toddler and a baby. Service was very fast! The appetizer with sausage and pickle platter was delicious and I highly recommend. We all enjoyed it! I had the bbq sandwich with the sauce on the side. I have never had a sauce like that before and I just came from Texas. If you don’t sell it by the jar, you may consider it. It was the best I have ever had and I am usually not a big fan of sauces. I tried the potato salad off of my son’s plate and know I will order it for myself next time. For the amount of people at our table, our waiter was very attentive and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. He was friendly and very accommodating for the three yr old. I will definitely be going back. I know if I have visitors, this will be one of the places I will have to take them to! Great food, atmosphere and service! Depending on if you get an entree or one of their delicious sandwiches will determine the cost of your meal.

Fantastic little building, amazing service - food really missed the mark. One cocktail tasted like cough syrup, the other was much better. Only some of the wings on our appetizer were cooked throughly, a few were under cooked with the stringy texture that only uncooked chicken has. They did have good flavor and heat. The salmon salad was really fishy tasting. Yes, yes, it is fish but smoked fish shouldn't be that fishy. It was funky. The brisket platter looked gorgeous however; the brisket cut had both seriously dry ends and large amounts of fat in the cuts. Taste was alright. We really like how the cornbread was fried on each side but taste and consistency still missed the mark. The absolute best tasting items were the bread and butter refrigerator pickles, pickled onions, and collard greens - they were amazing!!! That being said, we do like how they use real wood for their smoking technique, as it tends to give the best flavor. There is potential so we might be back to give it another go... The staff were very attentive and so kind, great people.

Great food that melts in your mouth with perfectly rendered fat. A little pricy average meal is 30-40 dollars but it's enough to fill you till you're bursting. Chicken had a perfect crunch and then melts in your mouth. Brisket had perfectly rendered fat and was super delectable.
