Went to great northern to celebrate my birthday. Was not lot down. We had the cheese curds and calamari to start which were amazing. Entrees were delicious as well! Then had the key lime pie at which point my server helped my girlfriends sing me happy birthday. It was great. Overall terrific service as well.
Love the food and service. It was a chilly day and was craving their wood roasted chicken. The best! Great happy hour too! ❤️
We made reservations weeks in advance and came to Great Northern for a party to celebrate a dear friend. They easily accommodated a group of 18 and even seemlessly handled the arrival of a few extra people. Emma was very helpful provided great customer service, handled the party like a pro. The food was good. The atmosphere was pleasant. I would visit again.
Wow. Total comfort food! You can only eat this stuff in Colorado. On a cold snowy day at the end of May. It is yummy. I had meatloaf with mashed potatoes! Not California fare. But it warmed my heart. Hubby and sis-in-law had fish and chips. Big. Beautiful. Lightly breaded cod. Delish. Go see for yourself. Plus, they have a lovely Happy Hour!
I'd only come here for brunch since I live so close but this week I tried lunch for the first time. The place was packed at noon so I'm sure we would of had to wait a little bit if we didn't have a reservation. When I've come for brunch, I sometimes have to wait a few minutes (I go earlier, between 10:15-11) but never very long.
The decor is very old school type tavern with lots of wood accents. Service has always been on par. Even during a busy lunch time, our water glasses were always filled up.
Several people at the table got the BLTA. They didn't skimp on the bacon part. I can vouch for both lunch and brunch that their three pepper bacon is thick, crispy, and delicious! I got the pulled chicken sandwich, complete with aforementioned bacon, dill havarti, and sun dried tomato aioli. It was a little messy but very tasty. Their tavern chips were good and crispy, albeit a lot of crumbs instead of nice big pieces. One person got the Monte Cristo and raved about it. When I think Monte Cristo, I think greasy and deep fried. But this was basically a ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich on french toast with the preserves on the side.
For brunch, I usually opt for either the Eggs Benedict or corned beef hash. Sometimes the English muffin in the Benedict is a little tough, instead of a good crispy from being toasted or even a soft from being fresh. But once I smother everything in hollaindaise, I forget about that. It'll still remain one of my go-to brunch spots, especially considering their $3 mimosas.
Have never had a bad meal there. Prime rib is ridiculously good and they have a large selection of drinks. This was my go-to place when I lived in Denver and is my go-to when I visit. Service is friendly and not uppity. Fine dining but without the need to dress up. Probably not a place you'd show up I swear pants but I doubt they'd turn you away. But most of all the food. I've been there for lunch as well when I worked nearby and the salads are great too. Salmon, peruvian chicken. A place worth visiting over and over to try different dishes. Or show up in sweat pants and try them all in one night!
Great northern, you would be well loved in Boise. ;)
