I loved the service and the food!!! Amazing!! We will be back!! Iain was amazing!!!
Sat down on a Tueaday night around 10pm, staff just ignored my wife and me. I'm not exaggerating. They literally ignored us for 40 minutes. Didn't even take a drink order. We ended up just walking out. If the place was packed, I would have understood. It was not packed, the majority of people weren't even eating, and everyone had drinks but us. I've never been ignored at a restaurant before, I guess they didn't want our money. My wife was upset. I explained that maybe they were understaffed, and we watched for a bit. They had three waitresses. We ended up eating street dogs from a vendor up the road and walking around downtown Boise.
Had higher hopes based on others' posted pictures and reviews. We had an attentive server at least. Poutine was pretty bland and all of our burgers were just okay. Good presentation of mediocre food that was a bit expensive.
The atmosphere is fantastic, and our waitress Lisa was incredibly friendly and sincere. The food was outstanding as well. You really can't go wrong with this place. On top of that, the live musician was quite talented!
Hannah was fantastic and incredibly accommodating for our group of 20! The drinks arrived quickly, the food followed suit, and she was friendly and attentive throughout our time there. Thank you, Solid!
Nestled in downtown Boise, this restaurant exudes a low-key yet contemporary vibe, making it a popular spot for locals, including writers and artists. While the ambiance is charming, with a lovely back patio and refreshing drinks like the espresso martini, experiences can vary significantly. Some diners report inattentive service and mediocre food, while others rave about standout dishes like the NY Strip and chocolate bread pudding. Though several patrons highlight service issues, including delays and mixed quality of meals, the venue still garners recommendations for its relaxing atmosphere and healthy menu options. A mixed bag, this spot may entice patrons for drinks and casual bites.

Our waitress was super nice. Water came into it with cucumber slices, but estimated the effort / touch). We had the hummus plate for an app- it was lined with tomatoes, whole chickpeas and a curry puzzle. I had the Vegan Enchiladas. I'm a meat eater, you had a green sauce I'm not used to, but still good. the rice and the beans they came with were well seasoned. I tried my friends Quinoa Salat and I loved the taste, but it was undercooked.
The food was really good once we got it. Took forever. Our waitress was not the best. We had the street tacos, the New York strip and the raspberry beret (could’ve been better but not bad). I loved the cucumber water they served. The entertainment,Dylan, was great and the ambiance was perfect for our 8 month anniversary. It would’ve been a 5 if our waitress was better.
Excellent! The NY Strip and the Chicken Cordon Bleu were outstanding! And the chocolate bread pudding was worth the trip all by itself! Also, Sam was terrific! First time here, but we'll definitely be back!
Solid is a nice place to grab a late night meal. The staff was very nice and communicative about what time the kitchen closes and about staffing if they are short. They staff is knowledgeable of what spirits they have and drinks that are in season andpopular. As well as their house BBQ for their chicken wings is a must. They have a large space available for banquets and otherparties you may want to have. Go check them out and hear about their special along with enjoying happy hour twice a day from1600-1800 and 2200-0000.
The food was excellent when it arrived and stayed that way. Unfortunately, our waitress wasn't very attentive. We tried the street tacos, the New York strip, and the raspberry beret (the canned version was actually better, but this one wasn't bad either). I really enjoyed the cucumber water they served. The entertainment by Dylan was fantastic, and the atmosphere was just right for our 8-month anniversary. If our waitress had been better, this would have easily been a 5-star experience.

Our dishes were excellent, and the service was both fast and welcoming.
The atmosphere is quite nice and the prices are reasonable. Our group had mixed review about the food quality. The pear salad and kimchi fries were outstanding. The hamburger was quite good but the shrimp and grits were so greasy and overcooked as to be a waste of good food. The service was fine and the waiter was a great communicator about when our food would be arriving. Overall, a B- experience compared to other Boise restaurants.
I found this place on line, and was very pleased with them

We dined on the patio and enjoyed some fantastic live music while misters kept us cool. My husband ordered gyros, my son had a BLT with tempeh in place of bacon, and I went for the club sandwich. Everything was delicious, and the fries were exceptional. Our waiter was very friendly as well. The lavender lemon drop was amazing—I ended up having two! (Haha)
We had a wonderful evening dining outdoors at Solid Grill Bar. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We were extremely pleased and will definitely return.
We were quite disappointed with the service we experienced during our visit. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived, and we were seated right away, given menus and water. However, after 20 minutes, we still hadn’t seen our server. We had to request assistance from someone. When the waitress finally came, she apologized and took our drink and food orders. Although the drinks took a little while to arrive, it wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately, after that, the waitress was rarely seen, and when she did pass by, she didn’t check on us or ask if we wanted more drinks. We had to go to the bar to request a second round of drinks. An hour later, we still hadn’t received our food. We were informed that the kitchen was overwhelmed, but the restaurant was not busy at all. In fact, others who arrived after us were already being served. After waiting for an hour and a half, we decided to leave without ever getting our dinner, as we had tickets to a show we needed to attend. On a positive note, the gentleman who was singing and playing guitar was excellent.
Excellent atmosphere, great food, and reasonable prices! Definitely will go again!
I had not been here since pre-covid and some things have changed on the menu. They no longer had the fried haloumi cheese appetizer that I loved on the menu so that was disappointing but I really enjoyed the pear gorgonzola salad with grilled shrimp added. The devil's cooler drink was amazing! Service was good and so was the live singer.

Solid Grill Bar is more than just a place to eat, it's a vibrant hub in Boise where good food, good drinks, and good times come together. Rain was quick, efficient and witty. Absolutely recommend stopping by! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20
AMAZING!! I ordered through Uber Eats. I'm from through Southern United States and have been here 20 years. BY Far the Absolute best grits I've had in 20 years!! I ordered the shrimp and grits and my better half the herded chicken and risotto. I loved them both!! Amazing job preparing these meals. Everything was cooked to perfection not over or under done. I will definitely frequent this establishment.
We had a lovely time at the Solid. The gentleman on staff was so friendly and attentive it felt more like meeting a new friend than just another stop in a restaurant. That guy needs a raise! The food was great and we had the joy of watching some live music while we were there. A great low cost place to visit downtown where those are few and far between. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Burgers
