Location was interesting; staff was attentive; and the food was fabulous. My only complaint is I didn't have more time to sample the whole menu!! But what I was able to sample I would highly recommend: The Dijon Bacon Sprouts were excellent and the Hagerman Trout was perfect.

We are always looking for new places to try and this was our pick for our annual January family meal get together. Great atmosphere and service. The place was busy, but the meals were served fast and were super fresh. Amazing flavors, great variety. We will be back and if you love Thai food, youve gotta give them a try. Make sure to check their hours because they do close in the afternoon to prepare for dinner.

I was very pleased in finding this killer pizza joint in downtown Nampa. I got the jalapeño popper pizza, which had a wonderfully clever array of toppings. The cream cheese base was awesome, and the crust was unexpectedly perfect. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone!

My very favorite pizza in the city of Nampa has always been Chicago connection. They have dropped to number two because they decided to cheapen their ingredients and now it's not the same pizza. Idaho pizza has been consistently good for all the years it's been around and I've always loved their pizza. It's clear by how packed the place is every day that I'm not the only one who loves their pizza.

First time here. We ate on a Saturday about 3:30pm.
Excellent-
Cod was amazing! Not greasy!
Large homemade rolls melt in your mouth.
Baked potato with everything on top
Fresh green beans
We wanted the homemade pie but were stuffed.
Good prices!
Good service
Ok-
They were short handed this day. One guy was covering many tables by himself but he tried to keep up.
The floor needed vacuumed and tables needed cleaned off from the large breakfast/early lunch crowd.
8. The Tower Grill
Overall Ratings

The Tower Grill opened in the Fall of 2016. Located just off runway 29 and 11 at the Nampa Municipal Airport, just feet from the historic WarhawkAir Museum. Our goal is to deliver genuine, family friendly service and atmosphere while highlighting the magic that a small town airport has to offer. Owner Nate Lindskoog has grown up with a rich history of flying in his family; flying with his dad when he was young and growing up around airplanes. The Tower Grill is the result of combining his love for airplanes with over 15 years in the restaurant industry. From his first job delivering Chinese food when he was 16 until today, Nate has developed a deep love for food and more importantly, helping people gain meaningful connections through the experience of sharing a meal together in a comfortable environment. So come split a french press of coffee on the patio overlooking the runway on a Saturday morning, or stop by to take on one of our signature burgers named after WWII airplanes.

The Tower Grill hosted our office Christmas dinner. Excellent food, fun atmosphere and we were treated like family. I asked if the dessert was gluten free and it wasn’t but they served me a special piece of GF pie. Wow! I can’t wait to go back and try breakfast!

My new favorite Vietnamese soup restaurant in Boise ... is in Nampa. I came here after a friend recommended it.
I like pho, but it has become the quintessential Vietnamese food that people are most familiar with. There are many other Vietnamese dishes that are worth exploring, too.
In the soup department, I much prefer bun bo Hue. It features a rich broth made from pork and beef bones and also features beef slices, shrimp paste, lemongrass and annatto. Then it's finished tableside with Thai basil leaves, bean sprouts, sliced peppers and a wedge of lime.
The staff is friendly and service is quick. I came in just before noon on a Saturday, with one couple already seated. While I was there, tables filled up quickly. The clientele included young couples, families and a couple of tables of seniors. It made me happy to see such a varied group of people enjoying a cuisine that isn't as well known locally as other Asian cuisines.
10. El Rodeo

From the outside El Rodeo doesn't look like much ... and the fact that it's attached to a hotel doesn't help it.
But don't let that stop you! The food is great! I had tacos for lunch & they were fantastic.
Inside is about what you would expect, but it's comfortable and the service is fine.
