this place always has the best burgers and fries. they have decent milkshakes as well. but i think they have one of the best burgers in boise. (i especially love there bacon burger) offers reasonable pricing.

Lastly for the burger and Fries section is Vikings which is a small place off of state st. and has a small couple of lanes for drive-thru. prices are expensive burger does not equal price but fries are well-seasoned and go great with there fry sauce and they also have good milkshakes.
