🥔 Local Boise Meal Deals
We re-audited this page in August 2026 against each restaurant's own menu. Cards marked ✓ VERIFIED had their price read off an owner source (the restaurant's own site or its own ordering page). Cards marked ⚠ PRICE CHECK PENDING are places we believe belong here but whose owner menu posts no prices or was unreachable — the figures are our best read, so call before you count on them.
Pie Hole
Whole 19-inch Pie for Two — about $18
A downtown Boise late-night slice shop on 8th Street. Cheese and pepperoni slices run $3.42–$4.40 and a 19-inch cheese pie is $15.15 (it feeds 3–4), with fountain drinks at $2.41 — so two people split a whole pie and a drink for about $18 and still walk out with leftovers. Open till 3am most nights, 4am on weekends.
Cowboy Burger
Finger Steak Dinner Under $13
An old-school burger-and-breakfast counter on Fairview (the longtime Bad Boy Burgers spot). The finger-steak dinner — Idaho's breaded-beef specialty over a pile of fries with a side salad and sauces — runs under $13 and is plenty for two to share, or split a burger and a Philly. Two people eat for well under $20.
Tin Roof Tacos
Street Tacos ~$3.50–$4 each
Texas street-style tacos from two transplant sisters, and a longtime college-student value pick. Tacos run about $3.50–$4 each — brisket, baja shrimp, fried chicken, roasted corn — so two people share four or five plus chips for around $16–18. Three locations across the Treasure Valley.
Madre – Boutique Taqueria
$5 Taco Tuesday
A downtown Boise taqueria with a devoted following. Tuesdays bring the OG crispy-taco special — check their Instagram for the current price — and regular tacos keep two people near $20.
Guido's Original NY Pizza
Slices ~$3 — Two Eat for ~$16
A downtown New York-style slice shop open since 1994, a few blocks off the Basque Block. Cheese, pepperoni, and white slices run about $3 each, plus generous 19-inch pies. Two people grab two slices apiece with a drink for around $16. Dive-y, cash-friendly, and a longtime local pick.
Bad Boy Burgers
Two Burgers + Fries — under $18
An old-school drive-up burger stand on Vista since 1996 and a longtime BSU-student haunt. Burgers run $4.30–$6.50 — the double bacon cheeseburger is big enough to split — and the Thursday lunch special gets you a burger, huge old-school fries, and a drink for $9.99. Two people eat for well under $20.
Casa de Madera
Street Tacos $3 — Two Eat for ~$14
A family-run Mexican food truck (4.9 stars) on Curtis with homemade masa tortillas. Street tacos are $3 each, birria tacos $4, and agua frescas $1.25 — so two people split four or five tacos plus drinks for around $14. Don't sleep on the sopes, gorditas, and quesabirria.
Wok-Inn Noodle
Noodle Plates from $7.25
A 40-year, one-man Chinese spot on the Bench — the only place in town hand-making its own noodles. Lunch plates run $7.25–$7.75 and dinner entrées $9.25–$9.95, served with rice or those homemade noodles. Two people eat for around $16–18. Worth the wait; don't come in a rush.
Bangkok Thai Restaurant
Share a Pad Thai — under $18
A longtime west-Boise Thai favorite with famously generous portions. Pad thai and curries run about $16–17, and reviewers say one plate easily feeds two — add $7 spring rolls and you're set for under $18. Weekday lunch specials run cheaper still. Closed Tuesdays.
Burger Belly
Combo Meals — Two for ~$18
Bad Boy Burgers' sister stand, parked right across from Boise State and built for the college budget. Combo meals pair a burger with fries and a drink, so two people eat for around $18. Open till 2am Thursday–Saturday for the late crowd.
Taquería El Chino
3-Taco Combo $7.50
A well-loved Franklin Road taco truck with double-tortilla street tacos and generous meat — asada, adobada, lengua, cabeza. A three-taco combo with rice and beans runs about $7.50 and burritos around $11, so two people eat for roughly $15. Cash-friendly; closed Sundays.
Baguette Deli
Foot-Long Banh Mi — Two for ~$16
A no-frills Vietnamese counter on Franklin baking its baguettes fresh daily — the banh mi here are foot-long and run noticeably cheaper than sit-down Vietnamese spots (roughly $7–9). Two people grab a sandwich each plus spring rolls for around $16. The pho is a sleeper hit too.
Tango's Subs & Empanadas
Empanadas $3.75–$4.25
A mom-and-pop Argentine spot on Orchard hand-folding empanadas since 2006 — beef, chicken mole, chorizo, plus sweet ones — at $3.75–$4.25 each. Two people get a savory-and-sweet spread for well under $20 (about $10 a head). Don't skip the dulce de leche dessert empanadas. Closed Sundays.
Fanci Freez
Cheeseburger $5.99
A nostalgic State Street drive-in doing fresh, never-frozen burgers and shakes for decades. A single cheeseburger is $5.99 on the current menu, so two can each grab one and split a basket of fries for well under $20.
The Matador
Happy-Hour Tacos 5 for $10
A downtown Mexican spot and tequila bar whose daily happy hour runs street tacos at 5 for $10 (or 3 for $7) — chorizo, carnitas, chicken and more — plus $6 quesadillas. Two graze a full taco spread for around $16 during the happy-hour window.
Idaho Pizza Company
Lunch Pizza Buffet ~$8
The homegrown Idaho chain's weekday lunch is the play: a personal two-topping pizza with salad bar and a drink for $8.49 — two people lunch for about $17.
Zeppole Cafe
Two Deli Subs — $14.40
A longtime Boise scratch bakery-deli. Its own PDF menu lists whole cold deli subs at $7.20, so two eat for $14.40; two toasted grilled-cheese melts (from $9, chips included) run about $19. Everything rides on their house-baked sourdough and brutti.
Flying Pie Pizzaria
Two 8-inch Pizzas — $16
A homegrown Boise pizzeria since 1978, in the same spirit as the page's Idaho Pizza Company. Its own menu prices a personal 8-inch build-your-own cheese pizza at $8, so two get two whole pies for $16, or $17.70 with a meat topping on each — well under $20.

📍 Regional Chains
Chains from one corner of the country that made it to Boise — priced from their own ordering menus, nearest store on the card.
MOD Pizza
One 11" Pizza Split Two Ways — $12.89, Unlimited Toppings
MOD fast-fires an 11-inch build-your-own pizza in about three minutes, and the model is one price however many of the 40-plus toppings go on it — the chain's own words are "the price always stays the same." The 11-inch MOD-size with unlimited toppings reads $12.89 at the 390 S Capitol Blvd store on MOD's own ordering system, August 2026 — $6.45 a head when two people split it, which is the cheapest honest way through the door. MOD sizes a salad it labels "Mega (Feeds 2)" outright at $14.89, so one order is dinner for both of you without touching the pizza menu. Want your own pie each? Two 6-inch minis with cheese run $13.78. Worth knowing before you go: your first purchase as a MOD Rewards member earns a free MOD-size pizza or salad, which makes round one genuinely two for the price of one. Drinks still fit: two 16 oz fountains add $6.78 and the loaded 11-inch with both lands at $19.67. MOD prices by store, so confirm at yours — the spread across the cities we checked runs $11.89 to $16.59 for the same pizza.

Firehouse Subs
Two $5 Snackers — $10.75 · Born in Jacksonville 1994

The $5 Firehouse Snackers (BLT, Cordon Bleu, Sweet & Spicy Ham, Turkey Jalapeño half-subs) feed two for $10.75 all-in, and two small 4-inch Hook & Ladders run $12.78. The 8-inch mediums most people order run $10-plus — the only medium pair that stays near the line is the build-your-own ham or turkey. Priced on the chain's own ordering system at its Jacksonville San Marco store, July 2026 — prices vary by store, so confirm at yours.
Buffalo Wild Wings
Pick 6 — Meal for Two from $19.99

Two share a Get A Lot Pack (a pile of tacos and burritos) for $8.99, or build a spread off the value menu, and eat for well under $20 any day — even with Idaho's 6% tax. Taco Tuesday runs 3 tacos for $2.49. Most stores open late.
