7 Boise ‘Hole in the Wall’ Restaurants That Serve Exceptional Food

When it comes to choosing a place to have dinner, it's not always about how fancy the décor is or how trendy the menu is. Sometimes, you're looking for somewhere low-key where the food is the real star! 

Maybe I'm getting old, but I feel like I've outgrown the desire to check out the newest, hippest restaurants in the Treasure Valley. I wake up at 4:30 a.m. By the time dinner rolls around, I don't want to re-do my hair and make-up or put on a nice outfit after a 10 hour workday to go to dinner. I rather go somewhere casual, where I feel comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt and the food is good.

I think that's why I'm so attracted to "hole in the wall" restaurants. We use that as a term of endearment. We're talking small, locally owned restaurants that don't look like much from the outside and might even be a little unassuming inside. But their food? It's out of this world and locals RAVE about it.
