The Stagecoach Inn

This place is an Idaho gem! Took my mom here for her birthday. Everyone is so nice. Their service is fantastic, they make great martinis and the food is excellent. Our dinner server was Bruna and she made the night so special. She is top notch and makes the place even that much better. We shared the prawns and had great steaks. The onion rings, baked and mashed potatoes are great. Order their house made roqufort for your salad, you won't regret it! The coconut pie was the perfect end for the night!

Walk into the past! Loved the Old School Vibe & Red Leather booths. Erica (server) was Awesome. We had the Primerib & the Spaghetti plate (son). Will definitely make it a frequent spot.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, it has an at home feeling. We came at the prime dinner hour and had a short wait for a table. Our waitress Bruna, a sweet Italian woman, greeted us as soon as we got seated and asked if we would like anything to drink. She was helpful with the menu items and explained what was served with each selection. Our meal was wonderful and our waitress checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We will certainly be back to try other items on the menu.

First time here and decided to come here after my kiddos graduation from Boise State. The place gave me an old timey feel for a place back home in Montana when I was younger. We had to wait a little bit but only to be expected on A Saturday night. Also, if your full party is not there, then you don't get your table yet....deal with it. Once seated we were greeted right away by our server who took our drink order. Drinks came and then ordered the appetizer sampler plus added two more of the prawns to it. So good. Two of us had the larger prime rib. One with fries and the other with a loaded baked potato. The third had the prime rib dip. Also had the mushrooms for the prime rib. Man o man the food was wonderful, flavorful and super good. Someone from our server to whom I believe may have been one of the owners was always checking in with us. Great experience and if back in the Boise area we will be back.

It’s been a couple years since our last visit. Not a thing has changed: great food, fun bar, friendly, attentive and spicy (in a great and fun way) staff. Kevin had a great sense of humor that kept us in stitches. Opened with the onion rings. These are legit! We also enjoyed the prime rib, shrimp, salad and baked potato. So tasty. Not letting a couple years go by for our next visit.

Loved the old school charm and rustic style decor. Service was immediate and so welcoming, Shari was so friendly and helpful deciding what to order. Ended up with a very delicious Ribeye steak and also a very moist 1/2 broasted chicken, and the homemade pie was incredible. A great dining experience and with be going back very soon.

We have dinned here a couple of time. The food is always amazing and the staff are awesome! For Veterans Day they literally gave any veteran an entrée meal on the house, no restrictions to what the choices were. That is absolutely amazing and kind! Will definitely be back here more frequently! Thank you!

We enjoyed a lunch at the stagecoach in before heading to the airport after our ski trip! We enjoyed the history, the food, and the service.

We've been here a few times. ALWAYS great customer service, ambiance and dishes! This past Valentines weekend, day after on Saturday, we were able to sit near the bar area due to how busy it was. We had the prime rib with lobster and a sirloin steak. The loaded potatoes were great too. Steaks cooked perfectly to order. One rare and other medium rare. The waiter was great. Excellent customer service with humor. During our conversation we suggested the dessert store in Star. He later said he's bringing the wife there after she reviewed in line. I bet they will be a regular customer just as we are here at this restaurant. Old school restaurant who has some decades, multiple generation regular customers. Highly recommend!!

We were very disappointed in lunch today. The staff was good, the dining room and bar were well maintained and comfortable. We engaged other diners in conversation and found that they were long time customers with a number of them expressing their loyalty for decades. The fish and chips was not a good choice. The fish coating needed salt since it was so bland. It is thick, not light and smooth like a tempura coating. The potato things that came with the fish were some unidentified stuff. Both were left mostly uneaten. Both of us tried the dish and remain unimpressed. The Rueben bread was so browned, it was impossible to ascertain if it was marbled rye. It didn't taste like it. The meat was tough. How is a kitchen serving tough corned beef? What quality corned beef would be tough after being boiled? The onion rings had the same thick coating as the fish. Bland. For the elevated prices charged for these meals, we expected superior food, but got inferior instead. Better examples of both dishes are available at Gils K9 bar at a lower price. Former employees of the Stagecoach own and work there. The result is a much better menu for sandwiches and fish dishes. We might have investigated the steaks on the Stagecoach menu at some future but with this fail it won't happen. Apparently, the long term success of the place will depend on the current clientele who were born before 1945 who likes this food. We are out.

Walking into The Stagecoach feels like stepping straight into a 60's western-it's more about the atmosphere and nostalgia than the steaks themselves, but that's part of the charm. The décor is wonderfully themed, and it really does feel like you're jumping back in time. While the steaks were decent, the real standout for me were the prawns-absolutely delicious and not to be missed. The cozy bar is another highlight, perfect for grabbing a drink and soaking up the old-west vibe. Service was excellent throughout our visit-friendly, attentive, and welcoming. If you're looking for a fun, western-themed night out with great service, a lively atmosphere, and some surprisingly memorable prawns, The Stagecoach is a Boise treasure and well worth a visit.

Had a great experience at the stagecoach Inn! Not only does it have a very fun western vibe, but it also does feel very cozy with the leather boots and decorations. We got to sit in this little horseshoe booth that gives you a great view of the overall restaurant for people watching while also being cozy. We both got the prime rib sandwich, which was delicious, especially with the juice. Both the fries and the tater tots were delicious. It seemed like everybody in the restaurant was having a great time and the service of all of the servers was great. It's not a spot that you usually think about while driving by on Chinden. But it definitely makes me consider stopping by again with how great the food and experience was.

We've been going to Stagecoach for years but I saw poor reviews trending so I needed to revisit and get the facts. The series of recent 1-star reviews were nothing to do with the quality of the food or service. It was about parking. Huh? Stagecoach was cracked down on parking and will "boot" your car if you aren't a patron. We arrived Saturday at 4:45pm and there was already an hour wait. I asked if we could stay parked in the lot while we bided our time at Split Rail. Two employees confirmed that since we were checked in, we can remain in the lot. They were right. We got a call/text when our table was ready and I was hungry to enjoy my fav--"broasted" chicken. Love! Husband also had his usual, prime rib and shrimp. I didn't like my wine so our fab server swapped it for me without delay. And no dinner is complete at Stagecoach without the special chocolate cream pie with baked coconut on top. Yesss...

We have been going to the Stagecoach for 30+ years. The food is always consistently delicious, prime rib is out of this world. We always request Bruna because she's the best! We dined there last night, arrived around 7:15 and requested Bruna and was told it would be a two hour wait for her. There wasn't a long wait in the lobby at all. It just seemed very odd that the wait for her would be two hours. Very disappointing that they wouldn't seat us with her.

Unique nostalgic restaurant with mom-n-pop vibes. Dining experience was focused on great customer service and good simple food. My salad was one of the best house salads I've had and loved the homemade dressing. Steak was so fresh and didn't need to be fluffed with any sauces. The prawns could have had a little more flavor but were okay. Would recommend Stagecoach Inn as you don't get to eat simple good food often anymore with a decent price tag.

My favorite place to celebrate. Food is excellent service is great. Christian was our server Coconut cream pie is the best

We went early for dinner. Food was excellent and the service was great. Everyone was very friendly.

There's a reason that this place is such a classic. This rustic restaurant is everything you would want for a prime rib house. Portions are enormous, staff is attentive and the food service was very quick.

Absolutely awful. Food was terrible and the place is so old it can't be up to health code

I heard about The Stagecoach Inn from a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast. The guest (MB) had glowing reviews of this place. I've driven by it on numerous occasions and never thought to stop by. Frankly, the building looks every bit of its 60+ years of existence. But don't let the looks fool you. This restaurant has tons of character and I regret judging this book by its delicious cover. There is ample parking in front and around the back. We were promptly seated by the host even though the restaurant was packed. My wife's meal, the Shrimpkin (broasted chicken and shrimp), came with two hot sourdough rolls and a salad. I couldn't help myself and snagged a roll. YUM! I had the Prime Rib dip, onion rings, and two pieces of their gigantic shrimp on the side. Trust me, you want at least two pieces of shrimp. They come with cocktail and tartar sauce. I inhaled them pretty quickly so you don't get a picture. We topped it off with a lemon cream pie and a banana cream pie. I'm stuffed!

Whenever we are on that side of town, we'd love to eat there it's very old-school. The food is great. Service is great. I love retro vibes from the ambience indoors there and I'm happy to hear that the new owners are going to keep the same everything going.

Friendly service, good food and a staple in the community. Gets pretty busy and they don't take reservations for small groups so be prepared to stand and wait if you don't make it before 6 p.m.

Old school steakhouse dark candlelight type ambiance. Prawns are a must, they are multiple bites and cooked perfectly. Service is attentive but not overbearing. Best prime rib I've had in my life, pull apart with your fork tender. Wish they'd go with fresh horseradish instead of creamed but to each their own.

The "coach" has been one of our favorite restaurant for years. However, felt compelled to write a review after having had an exceptionally good meal just last night. My husband had the prime rib and I had the halibut filet. We both commented on how delicious everything was and probably the best meal we've had in quite a while. Bruna was our waitress and of course, she was her usual fun and efficient self! Such a good time and wanted to share.

Christian was the best server we've had in a long time anywhere in the valley! He was on top of everything. Great porterhouse, shared some prawns and halibut chunks with the family which is always great. Loved the music and football on the television in the bar!

I remember really liking this place, but something changed...Probably me, since this is an institution. Ambiance is definitely that old-style steak house. Dark. Leather. Wood. Should be no surprise here. My issue is that the tables are really close together, resulting in a pretty loud environment. Steaks were ok, but we went there for prime rib. Were there fairly early, around 6pm, and were told that all the prime rib was cooked at least to medium. Ok, points for telling us, but still, how does that occur at a steak house. Note, steaks were better than say Texas Roadhouse, but not nearly as good as I remember. Drinks were good. Service good. Overall experience good. Another Boise institution that just can't compete with the new restaurants. It is fine, but there are just much better choices.

My first time in was yesterday and I must say that while it's spendy, i really enjoyed my experience here. I had a nice long lunch break and Stage Coach is only about 10 min away from my current workplace. I've been hearing about them on the radio lately and it sounds like a place that's been around a long time and has a big following with the locals so decided to check it out. I really love the upscale western esthetic of the restaurant. It was pretty busy but they managed to seat me quick. Looking over the menu, they have several options that caught my eye... some that definitely weren't in my lunch time price range but I'd still love to come back and try at some point. The lamb for instance, sounds to die for! I went simpler and healthier and got the low cal plate which is your choice of a hamburger patty or chicken with cottage cheese and your choice of tomato slices or fruit. All of that sounded great.. I chose to do the hamburger patty this time and told the waitress I want the cottage cheese, tomato slices and a side of the fruit as well.. also a side of veggies to really get my snack on. Everything looked appetizing, tasted fresh and great ! The veggies definitely had some kind of oil or butter on them that I wasn't expecting and probably would have skipped if I'd known that's how they serve them but I still ate almost all of them. All I had left at the end was a small piece or two of the cauliflower but everything else was ate. My waitress was a sweetheart! I believe her name was Nicole, and she took great care of me , bringing me lemon for my water and hot tea, which I decided to get cause I was feeling cold. This was a very nice option for my lunch and I'll definitely come back. Next time I'll likely do the same thing but chicken instead of the hamburger. I'm really glad they have this as a lighter option as I am currently having issues with liver damage and need to eat healthier to reverse the damage to my liver which isn't always easy to do but this helped me stay on track with that and was also very filling!

Service was great, atmosphere was old worldly and staff was awesome. Dinners we tasty and enjoyable. Will be back!

Had heard good things about about the place so we had to try it. We weren't disappointed. Great Prime Rid. Love the old time atmosphere. Services's outstanding. Lots of parking.

Always wonderful food, friendly service, reasonable prices! Love everything about the Coach!

The food was pretty good but the steaks didn't have much flavor considering how expensive they were. I expected a little bit more from a local place in Boise, Idaho. My friend had the halibut and she said it was fabulous.

It doesn't get much better than the Stagecoach Inn! If you're in Boise this is a must try that connects the past with the present. You won't be sorry for dropping in!

Love this place, but they are major scrooges. On a Sunday, when they were closed, there was a Christmas market at the neighboring winery. They had someone sitting in their 50 plus parking spot lot and put boots on cars $250 a boot. Many people walked out confused in the rain and realized their care was stuck until they paid the fee. What happened to being a good neighbor? They must have it out for this winery.

We were pleasantly surprised with the Stagecoach Inn when we went for dinner a few weeks back. Our sever was great and very attentive- drinks, good, etc came out on time. And the drinks and food were also good. I had a Ribeye and Baked potato, and it was cooked and seasoned very well. The Lemon Cream pie was a little too "whipped creamy" but the chocolate cream was great. This is a cool place For dinner, if you haven't tried it yet you should!

What a great restaurant...all the things you would want from a traditional family steak house. Drinks were well prepared and the dinner was delicious. Every employee was friendly and helpful on our first visit. You won't be disappointed

This place is iconic! The service is great and they really care about your experience. I asked the server to recommend something and he said the prime rib is real deal. I trusted him because he worked there for so long and he was right! The prime rib was a generous cut and it melted in my mouth! I thought there was no way I could finish that slab but to my surprise, I ate it all! You must come here and try the prime rib. It is world class! The whole vibe was fun and people truly love this place. You will too! You are welcome!

The service is fantastic! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nostalgic! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Boise, Idaho.

Allow me to set the scene: a ragged group of long time friends in their finest Thursday wear, primed for an evening of camaraderie-- poring over Idaho's finest chunks. Little did they know they stepped inside a Time Machine to a place that encompasses the genuine old tavern ambience that all other places try to replicate but can't seem to get just right, allowing you to completely forget about the world outside. The shrimpkin was to die for, and they all shared their chunks together like one big jolly family. Teehee! Also don't forget to check out the parking lot, it's electric! Teehee! Pero no podriamos continuar sin hablar del incredible servicio y amabilidad de los meseros y el color del prime rib. Amidst the glitz and glamour of the leather lined booths, smoky air from fresh cooked meats, and tables fully stocked with baskets of saltine crackers, I felt a sense of pride that this establishment is in my home state as I bit into my steamy sourdough roll. When my father escaped Vietnam, leaving his homeland as a refugee, he dreamt of Americana. He was entranced by the tunes of Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, the spaghetti western's of Clint Eastwood, and the amazing cuisine of American beef. He would be proud of this establishment, as this place is what Americana stands for. I truly lost myself in time here, and I wish my ancestors could have joined me for this night. Cling clang thank you maam! I done popped me a button or two because that meal, well, that meal right there, it's what happened when dee plus licious saddled on up to a booth here and damned if they didn't produce some of their own home made cream p1es later on that night wink wink ! As the board meeting came to a close, we didn't know what we were more thankful for - the mind-reading service, the Smokey ambiance, or the fact that the wall to wall carpet stretched out to the parking lot to carry our now extra heavy feet to dreamland and beyond.

Food has been consistent and really good for years. Service is outstanding is always great!

My favorite restaurant! Such a great meal! I have been coming here for 45 years...they always treated my dad well! Love continuing to come!

We were in town visiting family and this is their weekly spot. We were not disappointed! We started with the holiday cocktails and martinis, warm bread and butter, the jumbo prawns are a MUST as an appetizer or even a meal. So buttery and delicious. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and we finished with banana cream pie. The food was amazing, staff was kind and welcoming and the ambiance of the rustic Idaho feel made it feel like an experience. A must visit!

Ambiance was amazing but the compliments end there. Food was reminiscent of a middle school cafeteria. Steaks burnt and overcooked with a smokey flavor of last week's salmon. There "famous prawns" were undercooked and unappetizing. Mashed potatoes straight from a box. All this from a restaurant with the gall to charge 40+ for a plate of food. Save your money and your stomach.

A never fail place to enjoy great food and service. My wife and I have been enjoying this land mark restaurant for over 40 years and never had a bad experience. Great food, service and cocktails Treet yourself and give it a try.

Stagecoach Inn is a Boise institution. You know you're somewhere special when you walk in to a steakhouse with the same dark wood and curved seats they've had for decades. It tells you it's about the food and the experience, not modernizing to attract fickle trend chasers. The menu is straight out of an Americana playbook. Want a side of prawns? Sure! Dutch apple pie a la mode? Yep. My go to is the prime rib French dip for lunch. Simple and juicy with a side of horseradish. For dinner, I get the beef tips. I even adore the side salads served in wooden bowls. Last time I was in I tried the banana cream pie. Haven't had a better version in a long while. If you're looking for classic American fare this is the place. The price point ain't cheap and you'll be fighting for a table around the holidays, but service is good and straightforward. Highly recommended.

An Idaho staple!! I love how long this place has been around and how old school it feels. The service is always amazing and the food is top tier!

Overall review is 'meh. Between moderate service and food that lacked seasoning, I was not impressed with Stagecoach. We tried the local favorite by thousands in the treasure valley for dinner with some friends. For years, I have heard how great the Stagecoach is along with tons of positive reviews here on Yelp. We arrived, and the restaurant had a small wait, so we grabbed a drink in the bar. The bar staff were nice and the drinks were quick. Seating in the restaurant for the six of us was tight......but looking at all the other full tables...tight was the approach they took that night. *Note.. expect tight quarters possibly* The restaurant is dated and has seen a lot of activity. The place was clean and the furniture was rustic. Our server was a bit cold. It seemed as if we were an inconvenience to her...as if she knew it was our pleasure to be there.. was odd. I felt she could have been more welcoming. Oh, well. For dinner, I went with Top Sirloin with a side salad and rice pilaf. Sad to say, but the salad and bread were my favorite parts of the meal. The rice pilaf was simple....a bit too simple. Lacked in flavor, ....just like the steak. The top sirloin was delivered very warm which was great. Unfortunately, the steak was not seasoned, in my opinion. Properly cooked to order, but blah flavor. Like the rice, they kept the food simple (as the picture depicts). I would choose other steak houses in the valley before Stagecoach...but I am in the minority for sure as my friends love the Stagecoach along with thousands more in the valley. Cheers Always!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The drinks were strong and the food was bomb. Reminds me of going to Northwoods Inn as a young child with my grandparents. Has that rustic vibe that is unparalleled in the Valley.

Had dinner about a week ago and such an odd experience. (For Stagecoach) Been eating here for years but this time there was No wait, it was 6:15 and only 50% full! For Stagecoach this is odd. Always a wait at dinner time. First thing that I found was the servers all looked new. Did not recognize any of the ones that had been here for years. Then the service was terrible. It was extremely slow, no follow up and lack of any personality. The food I thought was the same. Did a good job on the PrimeRib but getting bread was a crazy challenge. Have not heard of new owners but something is off! Hope they get this figured out as this has been a local favorite since it opened. I'll go back in a month or so and hope to update this review.

Everything was outstanding. Of course we had to wait, it was Saturday night, but totally worth it. We started with shrimp cocktail and halibut chunks. The shrimp cocktail featured fresh horseradish-wow. Dinner salad was simple but the house ranch and Roquefort were fabulous. And the lettuce was actually in smaller pieces that you rarely get - much easier to enjoy. My partner had prime rib, I had filet mignon and both were perfectly cooked, rare and medium rare. A fluffy loaded baked potato rounded out the meal. I enjoyed a Malbec. Service was good, everyone we interacted with was friendly. One of the best meals we've had in a very long time!

I normally do not write reviews due to circumstances that aren't normal, but this time it needs to be said. Reading other reviews, it appears to be a trend. I had planned on arriving to a concert event in a nearby business and then to enjoy dinner at the Stagecoach Inn afterwards as it was recommended by others. I parked in a dirt lot between the two businesses I was working with and saw signs of unauthorized parking but no business to attach to that. Turns out, it was for Stagecoach Inn, and they apparently don't like when people park in a dirt lot. They had booted my car. $200 later, I was on my way. At least the tow company was quick and easy to work with. It appears that several people have commented about this. Kind of wish I did my research about this location, but recommendations were good, so I didn't. Needless to say, I don't intend to go anywhere near this business again. Word of advice to the businesses in that area as well as Stagecoach Inn: Work together to figure out parking situations for events so you can keep your clients instead of losing them. I feel that is not a good way to attract business.

Parking Lot Scam If you like a dirty restaurant with bad food this is your place! Also parking in their lot- even if eating there, you will be booted and forced to pay $200 dollars. The owner can't make any money so they're running a booting business out of the back. Probably the worst experience I've ever had.

I've always loved Stagecoach and was actually aware of the parking rules. I recently stopped to say hello to a friend at split rail winery across the street and thought I was parking on the street on 32nd. 30 minutes later I returned to a boot on my car and a $200 fee. I understand that the parking lot should be for customers, but I genuinely thought I was parked on the street legally. It is not clearly defined where the lot ends and the street begins. Also, putting a boot on a car doesn't free up parking space for customers, it just makes the parking space remain unavailable for longer. It's truly unfortunate because all it's doing is making people angry. Stagecoach lost me as a customer due to this shady scheme so I hope them losing customers is worth the $200 they take from them.

Food was very good. We had the fish & chips, very healthy portions. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The food and ambiance is is old school. Steak, chicken, and salad was amazing. Our waitress was professional and just amazing.

This place is the bomb. First time there and can't say enough about the service staff to the cook and the quality of their food! We enjoyed the bar prawns as an appetizer followed by a prime rib dinner for the hubby and the Halibut chunk bites that were huge and tasty! We had a glass of wine and shared a coconut cream pie slice to end the meal. We will definitely go back so much more to try. I would have given this establishment a 5 but the ventilation in this very old place wast not ideal. My eyes were hurting a bit from the lack of airflow. Would love to see an outside patio area . Again the staff is amazing and they have it down to a tee!

Good basic food. Good Bar too. My family always has a positive experience here. We've been coming here for years and it's been consistently good. Old school red vinyl booths, very personable and friendly staff. Good steaks!

This old-school Boise landmark earns deserved high ratings. In a day when excellent servers are increasingly scarce, the Stagecoach team is first class and they are standouts. You may feel you have been transported to a prior decade when life was uncomplicated (really?) and the worry was whether the Yanks would win another pennant or whether Deano and Jerry's split up was a forever thing. But I digress. This is one of the few places serving broasted chicken (excellent ) and their daily specials cannot be beat, particularly the Thursday liver and onions and homemade mashed potatoes. Prices have understandably gone up but it's worth it. Places like the Stagecoach, while in a time warp of sorts, never go out of style. A+.
