Great food and service! Small place so tough getting table. . Plan ahead and be patient.

This has been one of my favorite places to eat since I was little and that remains the same today. Croquetas are dream fuel and their lamb grinder is delicious. The waitstaff is always great and we love to sit on the sidewalk during the summer to people watch. Perfect spot for lunch or dinner. The Croquetas are a MUST

A great old bar/pub with tasty food. If you are seeking big leather booths and fancy menus in a leather binder, this is not the place for you. If,however, you want a cool little pub in the Basque district, slide right in The croquettes were a great start followed by a tasty lamb grinder and a cheeseburger. The bread is amazing and the meat super tasty. The salad and fries were also good. We didn't care for the salad dressing as it was a bit sweet Waiter was helpful and attentive. The place is casual and delicious. This one gets high marks from me

Highly recommend Bar Gernika in the Basque Block of Boise. Very good Lamb Grinder with au jus sauce sauce as well as delicious tiny croquetas. The beer menu was a very pleasant surprise as well as the had many imported beers on tap. Also appreciated the convenience of it being located adjacent to Boise Centre. Highly recommend if looking for a place with culture and convenience near downtown and walking distance to everything worth seeing in the immediate area.

A pretty cool place in Boise. Brought some food for my trek back to California. It was good, tasty and well enjoyed.

The food here is no frill, good bar food. I ordered the Lamb Grinder which is pretty much a French Dip with cheese and lamb. The lamb was tough, but the dish was well seasoned. The toughness and dryness could have been reduced if the meat was chopped a bit. The croquettes were really good. I loved how the acidic sauce balanced the heaviness of the croquettes. It was soft and creamy in the middle. The Lamb Stew was extremely rich and had depth in it. The flavors were on point, but the Lamb was dry. Perhaps use a fattier cut of lamb. Service here is beyond fantastic and the staff was very friendly!

Great little Basque restaurant in downtown Boise. Food: 5/5. The food is always amazing. The croquetas are phenomenal and the fried peppers are delicious! Kalimotxo (coke and wine) is also a classic and tasty. We had the chicken sandwich and spicy lamb grinder. Both really good. Service: 3/5. I've had some great service, but the last time we were here the service was not so great. Our waiter was very inattentive and we had to wait 30 minutes from the time we finished eating to the time we finally got the check. We eventually had to ask another staff member for our check. Atmosphere: 4/5. The inside is very small so it can take a while to get seated. The patio is also somewhat small but can be a good vibe in good weather. Kid Friendly: 2/5. I saw some kids on the patio, which is fine, but I would not recommend this restaurant for kiddos. Overall, we love Bar Gernika and will definitely be again! It is such a great local gem!

An afternoon snack of 10-deep fried croquetas (butter, onion, chicken, flour and milk) served with sweet & sour Louisiana Tiger sauce. You can use Tabasco for spcie. The texture was excellent... crispy, yet easy to cut with the side of a fork. Big croquetas fan! I also got an Isastegi cider, which is a very dry Basque cider that didn't have much flavor. Don't recommend this cider. Wasn't impressed with the service at all. Sat outside on a beautiful day and there were 1-2 other tables filled. The server dropped off the menu and came back a full 10-minutes later. Perhaps it was super busy inside. She delivered the food and drink, but never appeared again. I waited and waited, but eventually asked another server for my bill, which he brought. Wish I were hungrier because they have a ton of other seemingly good/original things on the menu.
