Golden Wheel Drive-in

This will be one out of four of the best places that I've ever eaten as far as fast food style cuisine. This place has been a staple of Boise history for at least as long as I lived. Now that it is closed unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, that it will open back up soon with the same food and atmosphere that has been there since the 1980s.

3 stars for the fries! The Golden Wheel recently reopened and are one of the icons from old times past and can be a great summer hang out for the old classic cars in the summer! I have been going here for years and glad they could keep it open but at a cost. The menu has changed and eliminated a few of the old favorites and the prices have gone up which is understandable in this market. Unfortunately, we may have to come here not as often due to that. No inside seating and no chicken teriyaki! Darn! No combo meal either. All pricing is ala cart (each) so your burger, fries and drink will run you $12-$13 now. Shakes are $5.00+ Times that by 2 or 3 or 4 and it gets pretty costly for what you get. Tasty but thin on the hamburger patty as well but that has been known for quite some time. Still, supporting the little guy/gal is great if they have the customer service, friendliness and willingness to make the freshest meal they can which they do!
