Busters Restaurant

Busters Restaurant
1396 East State Street
Eagle, ID 83616
(208) 938-1800
 
Definitely interested in drawing the sports viewing crowd (lots of banners about the games, plenty of TVs), but mostly setup as a sit-down restaurant with not as much bar space or bar tables as one might expect.

The prime rib (available Fri and Sat) was very tender, served rare (as requested), and relatively good overall.  The accompanying horseradish cream had a decent kick, and the jus was well seasoned.  The fries were nicely crunchy, and the fry sauce better than average, but the side salad was very disappointing (something out of a '70s diner, with an overly acidic Italian dressing).

The chicken taco salad (hold the sour cream) was passable, but the salsa was another weak spot.

The 3 Picket Porter from Crooked Fence brewing needed just more body and depth to be a real winner (and to merit the "porter" label).

The restaurant was packed on Friday night, with most of the crowd dining (not just there to watch bowl games).
