Even thinking about Eagle Rib Shack while writing this review makes my mouth water. Though I now live in Portland, I luckily have a job that brings me to Boise often. And every time I am in Boise, I do everything I can to get to the ERS. Though I have my favorites, almost everything I have tried has been good, if not great. My favorites include the baby back ribs, sliced brisket, smashed potatoes, baked beans, burnt ends, and Texas, Original, and Memphis sauces. The food is made with patience and experience and you can taste it in every bite. If you like barbecue, you will love the ERS. If you love barbecue, you will be in smoked heaven on earth. Andrew, see you in a few weeks!\r
Pros: Smoked meats, smashed potatoes, parking
Cons: Closed Sun-Tues, seating during busy times
