Stagecoach Inn Restaurant & Lounge

This is a class joint! My favorite for prime rib and shrimp cocktail. When family comes to town, this is always a destination.

My favorite restaurant! Such a great meal!

I have been coming here for 45 years...they always treated my dad well! Love continuing to come!

Stagecoach Inn is a Boise institution. You know you're somewhere special when you walk in to a steakhouse with the same dark wood and curved seats they've had for decades. It tells you it's about the food and the experience, not modernizing to attract fickle trend chasers.

The menu is straight out of an Americana playbook. Want a side of prawns? Sure! Dutch apple pie a la mode? Yep. My go to is the prime rib French dip for lunch. Simple and juicy with a side of horseradish. For dinner, I get the beef tips. I even adore the side salads served in wooden bowls. Last time I was in I tried the banana cream pie. Haven't had a better version in a long while.

If you're looking for classic American fare this is the place. The price point ain't cheap and you'll be fighting for a table around the holidays, but service is good and straightforward. Highly recommended.

Had dinner about a week ago and such an odd experience. (For Stagecoach)
Been eating here for years but this time there was No wait, it was 6:15 and only 50% full! For Stagecoach this is odd. Always a wait at dinner time.

First thing that I found was the servers all looked new. Did not recognize any of the ones that had been here for years.
Then the service was terrible. It was extremely slow, no follow up and lack of any personality.
The food I thought was the same. Did a good job on the PrimeRib but getting bread was a crazy challenge.

Have not heard of new owners but something is off! Hope they get this figured out as this has been a local favorite since it opened.

I'll go back in a month or so and hope to update this review.

Overall review is 'meh. Between moderate service and food that lacked seasoning, I was not impressed with Stagecoach.

We tried the local favorite by thousands in the treasure valley for dinner with some friends. For years, I have heard how great the Stagecoach is along with tons of positive reviews here on Yelp.

We arrived, and the restaurant had a small wait, so we grabbed a drink in the bar. The bar staff were nice and the drinks were quick.

Seating in the restaurant for the six of us was tight......but looking at all the other full tables...tight was the approach they took that night. *Note.. expect tight quarters possibly* The restaurant is dated and has seen a lot of activity. The place was clean and the furniture was rustic.

Our server was a bit cold. It seemed as if we were an inconvenience to her...as if she knew it was our pleasure to be there.. was odd. I felt she could have been more welcoming. Oh, well.

For dinner, I went with Top Sirloin with a side salad and rice pilaf. Sad to say, but the salad and bread were my favorite parts of the meal. The rice pilaf was simple....a bit too simple. Lacked in flavor, ....just like the steak. The top sirloin was delivered very warm which was great. Unfortunately, the steak was not seasoned, in my opinion. Properly cooked to order, but blah flavor. Like the rice, they kept the food simple (as the picture depicts).

I would choose other steak houses in the valley before Stagecoach...but I am in the minority for sure as my friends love the Stagecoach along with thousands more in the valley.

Cheers Always!

Me and a few buddies decided we'd treat ourselves to this place Saturday night. I can't begin to explain how good the service and food are. The servers treated us very well, brought us extra rolls, and was very fast. We are younger and figured we'd be snubbed off as just some kids, but we were wrong as all employees were very nice to us. Food was cooked exactly how we wanted, and dressing for the salad was superb. Love the dark feel of the interior. One of the best restaurants in the Boise area for sure, will be back soon!

Other than a nice setting for an old school restaurant, the whole experience was truly disappointing. I took my wife for our anniversary and would absolutely never go back. The staff were friendly, but the service from our waitress was awful. Even with that being said, haven't even mentioned the food. A really tough Sirloin and an overly fatty ribeye. The loaded baked potato tasted like it was under a heat lamp for a long time. The only good part of the meal was the salad,which I didn't finish because our meal came out after a minute of getting it. I would have been better off taking my wife to In and Out.

Huge onion rings and pricey prawns but they are good. Crab Louie?meh. Kinda like what you'd get at dennys with packaged shredded cheddar cheese (! WTH) , iceberg, two slices of tomato, a cup of crab, and lemon wedge. No hard boiled egg slices or tangy dressing. The dressing was bad. Just like Mayo. I scraped off the crab to take it home for crab cakes and just had a plain salad with lemon and mixed a bit of the Mayo stuff. We were in the back next to the kitchen. Worst seating visually next to the kitchen, so try to avoid that. Rolls are good. Prime rib looked pretty fatty and well done was rare. Service is nice, but I don't plan on going back for what they charge.

I love the Stagecoach. It's old Boise at its best. Food in consistently good! I've never had a bad meal there. Their sourdough rolls are to die for-so good and hot! The staff and the people are always friendly. Great place!

This place is the bomb. First time there and can't say enough about the service staff to the cook and the quality of their food! We enjoyed the bar prawns as an appetizer followed by a prime rib dinner for the hubby and the Halibut chunk bites that were huge and tasty! We had a glass of wine and shared a coconut cream pie slice to end the meal. We will definitely go back so much more to try.
I would have given this establishment a 5 but the ventilation in this very old place wast not ideal. My eyes were hurting a bit from the lack of airflow. Would love to see an outside patio area .
Again the staff is amazing and they have it down to a tee!
