The whole experience was fantastic. We love the design and ambience of the restaurant. Food was exceptional, and served nice and hot. Salmon cakes were amazing! Portions were large so we had to take some home - that's a good thing. Service was great. Would definitely recommend.
We went to the Sockeye Annual Anniversary Car Show. The cars were beautiful and then we ate at Sockeye. The food was good and the service too. Our waitress was really nice and helpful. My hubby enjoyed his pub burger and fries. I had a sandwich just like a French dip with salad, both were excellent. We will absolutely come back. It was a great afternoon.
Atmosphere is nice and enjoyed sitting on the patio. Server was nice and area was clean. Food came out in a timely fashion.My wife ordered the brisket mac & cheese w/ fries and it was very good. I ordered the Trout Fillet (can't go to a place called Sockeye and not try the fish!) and was not impressed with the dish at all. The presentation alone was like "hmmm". The trout was overcooked, the pecan or whatever sauce looked like watery gravy (had zero flavor), the "seasonal vegetables" looked like they came out of their stir-fry dish/maybe frozen (how hard it is to do a nice broccolini and sautéed carrots?) and a plop of mashed potatoes that looked like something from KFC -- for $21? The first photo is from Yard House 1 day later. This is how you do this dish!! Compare it to Sockeye in the second photo.We'll definitely give the place another go, but I'll be ordering something else.
You cannot go wrong with Sockeye Brewing. I’ve now eaten here five times and loved every single second and bite of my food and drinks! They definitely know how to provide both quality and quantity.On my latest visit I helped myself to the Smoked Brisket Grilled Cheese (sliced smoked brisket topped with spinach, sautéed mushroom, Gouda, and cheddar cheese and their Woolybugger Wheat stone ground mustard aioli on grilled sourdough, $13.50) with a side of fries. This ginormous sandwich is heavenly. The brisket was cooked to damn perfection and the aioli was top notch. There was plenty of meat and cheese. It was SO FREAKIN’ GOOD. I would 10/10 order it again!My husband chowed down on the Bronco Burger (6 oz all natural chuck patty served on a brioche bun and smothered in Power House Porter barbecue sauce, topped with cheddar cheese, applewood smoked bacon, onion straws, lettuce, tomato and red onion, $13.00) with a side of fries. Again, it was huge! And beautifully presented, although it was a piece of work to eat so beware! But it’s worth the mess. I shared a couple bites and agreed it was a great damn burger.I really don’t remember what we got for drinks…smh. We sat outdoors which I highly recommend especially when it’s nice out.Overall, great food for a steal (total bill came to less than $60.00 and that was with 2 drinks each + tip) that are generous portions!
Very spacious! More restaurant style. Large beer variety. This included two nitro beer options! Food took a little longer than expected, but we enjoyed our beers while ea waited. Outside of downtown boise. Parking lot with lots of parking.
My salmon was dry and I should've sent it back. I usually don't send salmon back anymore because this happens so often I don't even remember the last piece of salmon I had that wasn't dry ? (anywhere, not specifically here) but when the restaurant is literally named after a salmon ? and the dish is called The Sockeye Salmon Dinner, you'd think it'd be a safe choice.Anyway I'm not trying to deter anyone from going, the food is usually incredible. I'm just hoping someone reads this so maybe next time I go the salmon won't be overcooked.Also bring back the Ahi Tuna burger!!! Five stars.
Just had apps. Finger steaks were tough. Everything else was good. Fast and friendly service. Good beer...but could of been colder. Comfortable place. We will return.
So, we go to Sockeye at least once a week. We love the food and beer. Benji is THE ONLY WAITER we like. Everyone else is not so amazing. If we go and Benji isn’t working, we know the service is going to be terrible. He is amazing and super kind!! Be sure to ask for him if you go!!!
I absolutely love this place! I frequent here 2-3 times a week and am never disappointed. food is delicious and great value but the most important part is the beer right!?! Good news... they have delicious beer! Big selection and they are always rotating new beers through as well. every once in a while they have sales on cases of their beer for a significant discount as well so snag a case if you see some at the front doors! also family friendly as they have a big dining room away from the bar as well.
Okay, best nachos I’ve had in a long time! They make sure every chip is covered & they are piled high. All 3 of us couldn’t finish them. We grabbed two pretzels as well. The cheesy sauce for the pretzels is the best around! The pretzels tasted very fresh too, not something you’d get from the store. Staff was great! Clam chowder was good too! Can’t wait to try out more things here.
