Boise Fry Co.

Venturing passed my hood I finally made my way over to the recently renamed Boise Fry Company. Local and original! They offer So many different types of fried potatoes! Purple, golden, sweet, you name it - they fry it! Not only that, they have an entire counter for a variety of dipping sauces. I had the sweet potatoes with blueberry ketchup - I was surprised how tasty the combination was. Not too sweet.

The secret to Boise Fry Co. is not the fries. It is the amazing burger they make. They claim burgers on the side, but I do protest! The burger is a nice regular sized patty on a home made potato bun served up with all the fixings. The burger is like butter - local free range beef seasoned with secret spices and served the proper - slightly pink. It is heaven in your mouth!

Now for the best part - they serve local beer, and I mean local brewed beer from our four breweries. I happened to have the Hallows Spoon Tongue while I was dinning. The Happy Hour is pretty sweet - Monday - Friday buy one get one free! Perfect place to take a friend for a drink!

And to top it off - BFCo. has a nice sized flat screen t.v. that you can watch the BSU games on!

TO GET THERE -

Located in the East side hood - 111 N. Broadway it is super easy to get to -

From Downtown - You can take the greenbelt East to Broadway. Take a Left on Broadway and it is two blocks down. OR you can take Main street East all the way to Broadway and hang a left - but don't go too far it's right around the corner!

From the Eastside - Warmsprings bike lane all the way to Broadway! OR Greenbelt all the way up to Broadway - head North about two blocks!

Watch traffic on Broadway - it can be a little dangerous on the bicycle!

The Hollow

One of our favorite local brew pubs - The Hollow has almost everything you need for a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Known to the locals as the Hollow and officially named the Highlands Hollow - it is a place to be during ski season or bike season. They brew one of the best stouts in town and happen to share with some of our other favorite places! The patio is nice and comfy with little noise and great service! The one down fall - no nachos!!!! WTF! It was almost perfect! Order the fries when you go - they are some of the best in town flavor wise and price wise!
Alright - the route! From downtown - Head North on tenth street, cut through Boise High and hang a left on Front. Go West until you hit Harrison Blv. - take a right (north) and straight up to Bogus Road! The Hollow will be on your left!
