Gil's K-nine - Boise

This place has great food, atmosphere and service. Not a big menu, but huge portions and daily specialties are amazing. Come on weekends and enjoy a rich breakfast served only on weekends. Hamburger Steak, Hasch-Brauen shatters in gravity and two eggs over easy.

Can't the heat beat these burgers?, it's definitely a must try on a Thursday afternoon; you have some good ways to choose from,

Fabulous food- Reuben Sandwich is better than if you were in New York City! Really great service.

Gils is the real deal dive bar. It reminds me of the lyrics to the tv show 'Cheers ' theme- ... Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And they 're always glad you came You want to be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You want to be where everybody knows your name I came with my date after tripping across the reviews in yelp. I sure wouldn 't have noticed it otherwise. The outside of the building looks like a plumbing supply warehouse and all the customer pickups parked in front are consistent with the image. Don 't be intimidated by the blue-collar exterior, inside people are just plain folks enjoying a drink and tasty comfort food. The bar itself stretches nearly from end-to-end of the building with tables mostly at either end. Both bar and tables were filled mostly with regulars and a handful of newbies like me. The servers knew their regulars well, but treated everyone equally and expeditiously, even a clearly confused guy like me. Because it was Friday, we felt compelled to get the famous crabmeat and shrimp appetizer which is a mountain of dungeness crab and bay shrimp salad piled on top of some hidden lettuce and shrimp cocktail $40) And we complemented it with a large side of fries $7 or so) and of course drinks. They serve the appetizer with a large basket of saltine crackers. We ate maybe 1/3 of all the food before we were full. The food isn 't gourmet or instagram worthy by any stretch of the imagination, but it hits the spot. And the place is clean and unchanged from 30 years ago, just what it should be; not some Cheesecake Factory or Chili 's stamped out plastic palace or craft brew pub with an industrial look. Together with the alcohol, the experience will relieve the stress of the day, especially if your kids and boss have been making your life hell. I expect to be going again and bringing my unpretentious best friends with me next time.

Big portions and always fresh and sooo good. The best prime Rib sandwich. I had this last time it was so big I had to split it with my sister. You won't be disappointed.
