When discovering new places in and around Boise, I usually jump on Yelp and use their "Hot & New" feature to see if I've missed a restaurant opening. I'm unsure how the businesses ended up on Yelp because I've seen some restaurants that have gone "unclaimed." I also know these aren't the only restaurants that have opened in the last few months.

I haven't heard about these restaurants yet, and they have to be getting a lot of attention on Yelp because they are under their "Hot & New" feature.

  • Open Wednesday - Sunday, 7:30 - 2:30.
  • Marc M. "Arrived as they opened. Super friendly staff...was given a free hot bagel as it came out of the oven (not a regular thing, I'm sure).  Poblano cream cheese is super good, and they put a good amount on both sides - served open-faced.

Red Oak BBQ: 2900 W Excursion Ln, Meridian, ID 83642

  • They only have one review. It's a 5-start review "food is 10/10, and the fact that there are always different options is cool. You can tell the food is definitely home cooked because it has that custom touch. The service is really good, too. I love that it's a family-owned business. Highly recommend!"
  • Open Thursday - Sunday, 3:00 - 9:00.
