Westside Drive-In - Boise

After reading the raving reviews we had pretty high expectations and the food ended up being a complete let down. We ordered a pair of, one being their famous daddy-o burger which was mediocre at best. It definitely has a 50's diner vibe and the staffare beyond helpful with the huge and confusing menu option. Another thing that threw us off was their famous potato ice creamwhich is a marketing ploy at best with ice cream made to look like potato. There are better places to eat at boise

DO NOT DRIVE AWAY IF YOU ORDER A PRIME RIB!!! I ordered a prime rib dinner in the drive through. Asked for it medium rare. I?m glad I decided to park and eat because there was zero pink. It was WELL DONE. I was surprised because it was the shortest amountof time I?ve ever spent at west side drive in. I usually go to the state street location. I only spent a few minutes in thedrive through. There is no way that was a fresh prime rib either because they couldn?t of cooked it to well done that fast. Ibet my prime rib was another persons messed up order and they put it in the fridge then nuked it and hoped I was going to drivehome to eat it and not realize until I was super far away that it was well done? I did get a refund, however I drove off thistime and went to try my shake.. (how can you mess up a shake) I asked for a caramel MALT shake. No caramel and NO MALT. It wasjust a plain vanilla shake. I didn?t even go back. I?m just trying to spread the word now that this place doesn?t pay attentionto detail. PRIME rib is EXPENSIVE and they shouldn?t be microwaving it. I?m going to stick to the state street location andNEVER come back to this location.

Fun atmospher, lots to look at while you wait. Good service and good food. The frozen potato is quite impressive!

If you like diners you'll like it. Food it good but the root beer float is small

Great hot and delectable food, lots of fun, and plenty of Fifties and Sixties music abounds this glorious spot, and THEN some. Had the Ribeye steak sandwich with gems/tots plus a Grasshopper shake (Mint-Oreo). Absolutely worth the $21 total aftertax. Come and enjoy yourself in all the ways that truly count...good Golden Oldies music, excellent food, cool crew, awesomeretro atmosphere. LOVE THE WESTSIDE DRIVE IN ????????
