The Boardwalk Plaza on the Greenbelt

Join us on The Boardwalk Plaza in Garden City for a fun dining experience right along the Boise River Greenbelt. Explore a variety of restaurant options offering everything from casual bites to gourmet flavors. Relax in a lively, riverfront setting, enjoy outdoor seating, and experience the perfect blend of dining and community at The Boardwalk.

This Boardwalk Plaza is attached to the Boardwalk Apartments. Last time I was there, parking cost $1 in the dirt lot, though the internet says the dirt lot is free. You enter the lot from E. 41st St right next to the apartments and plaza.

We can grab some food and drinks and sit outside together. The places to eat/drink wine are below:

• BAO BOI

Bringing his passion for Asian cuisine to life, Chef Frank Jordan's Bao Boi takes warm, fluffy dough, fills it with sweet or savory meats and veggies, then steams it to perfection. With over 20 years of experience cooking in some of the best Restaurants on the planet, our chef is excited to present their vision of globally inspired street food, with locally sourced ingredients.

• CHICKEN IN A BARREL

With over 45 years of experience in this cooking style, Chicken In A Barrel's owner and founder, Mike Pierce, opened this establishment in 2010 with a clear purpose: to share his passion for great food and spread the love of God. At the heart of this business is a strong commitment to family values and dedication to excellence in every aspect.

• TIM'S BURGERS

Tim's Burgers is dedicated to delivering thoughtfully prepared food using the freshest ingredients from local and regional producers.

High-quality beef will continue to be sourced from Idaho ranch, Thomas Cattle Co.
