The Curb Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Meridian

I have been always pleased with the service and food every time I come here. I brought my staff out for some drinks and appetizers for the night and disappointed by the services we received at the beginning. I told them there were going to be 15 of us. The server said she was going to check and be right back. After about 10 minutes nobody came back out to tell us about seating or servicing us. I was a waitress for a bar and restaurant for a long time so I knew about the expressions of avoiding “the big group” of people. I told them we all didn’t need to sit but that we were going to get some drinks and food. I stood at the bar waiting and the bartender looked at me to get my drink order but I told him I was waiting for a table and explained to him. He looked annoyed and looked me like I shouldn’t be there. I asked for water and he didn’t get it for me. Nobody never came back out to talk about a table or seating for us. Most of the waitress were looking at us annoyed because we were the large group. I finally asked a waitress if we could sit in the back and she was like yeah that’s fine. I said we were on one check and the situation changed real quick. I was very disappointed about the accommodations and the eagerness to help us. Megan was our waitress and she was great! She didn’t seem inconvenienced at all even if she did...she did a great job with us!

My advice if you plan on bringing a group or company, make sure you either know someone that works there (because the service for them were exceptional) and give them far advance noticed. Otherwise you will be treated like you shouldn’t be there and that they assume every one are individual checks. I was close to leaving and finding another place, but thanks to Megan for giving us great service. Overall, I would not bring a group here unless you know the staff or give them advance notice (even though they have a sign that says rent our your...

Okay I'm going to start of by saying my expectations were not too high for the Curb. I kind of expected Applebee's/TGIF style food. It's not - I was very wrong! This place rocks and let me tell you why!!!

I was craving a hot sandwich and wanted to pick somewhere close to my husband's office so he didn't have to drive too far (He'd go anywhere for me, bless this heart). The Curb is conveniently located right off northbound Meridian Road so I scoured their menu and thought, why not give 'em a shot. My review is solely based on the food since I ordered takeout and didn't even pick up the order myself.

After mentally deliberating for some time I chose the Southwest Turkey Club (roasted turkey, brown sugar bacon, cheddar and pepperjack cheese, roasted jalapeno, lettuce, tomato, onion, and chipotle mayo, $14.00) with a side of fries. I was very happy with the takeout service. The call was only 56 seconds long and I wondered if the person even heard my order right. 30 minutes later...

My husband walks through the door with my dinner and wooooooah it smelled dope. I almost forgot to thank him I was so stoked. I split the meal with him but honestly I could have eaten it all by myself. It was so freaking delicious! The bacon added so much flavor, and the chipotle mayo was like the icing on the cake. All the ingredients meshed so well together. One of the best hot sandwiches I've had in Boise. And I eat A LOT of hot sandwiches! Overall, wonderful dish I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to decide! I mean just look at my picture! Yeah I'm no photographer but look at all those tasty ingredients and how beautifully they stack together!

Overall I had an awesome dinner! GREAT FOOD! I'm looking forward to dining in one day! Thanks for the great...

If you're looking for catering, run the other direction.

We chose The Curb to cater and bartend our wedding. Everything ran smoothly up until a month prior to the wedding. We could not get a hold of the catering manager, and we were very worried we would have to engage another company with weeks to go. All of our last minute details were eventually smoothed over (although it took more than one phone call, voicemail, three to four emails and texts from both me, my now husband and our wedding coordinator) to get ahold of the catering manager. I was close to marching into the restaurant and demanding to know what was going on. After a conference call about 3 weeks prior to the wedding between the four of us, everything seemed fine and ready to go.

On the day of the wedding, the food was two hours late with no explanation, apology or offer of a refund of any kind. None of it was served in the manner that had been planned, since they were about two hours late and scrambling to get it set up. Luckily no guests knew the difference, but it certainly messed up the timeline. There was also a discrepancy on the presence of wine at the bar. We had previously agreed that wine would be served, but on the day of there was none.

At the end of the night during clean up, it was agreed and confirmed more than once prior that The Curb would transport water glasses but they began to argue with my clean up crew whether or not this was the case. They "found the room" in the catering truck after one of my clean up crew said she would call the catering manager. Unprofessional showing all around. "Worry free catering experience?" Try again.
