Smokin’ With A-Aron

In response:
So glad you had a large order. But in your response you basically said that my “2 burgers” weren’t important. So what size order is important to you? Do I need to order 10 or more? Lol if my sad little order is not worth it to you I’d reconsider your idea of customer service. If anything you should have put us small time people in front and whipped out 2 easy burgers so we didn’t have to wait as long. The huge order is expecting to wait.
Also if you read most your other reviews it’s the recurring theme is wait times. This is a problem that you might consider solving. I am one of many who feel your flow is off and other food places have figured it out and I have faith you can as well.
Original review:
This is a hard review to give. I wanted to live this cool experience and the food. It has so much potential yet falls short.
Staff and owner, the bomb! Friendly and personal. 5 stars
Cool pop up in an alley. Way cool.
Fries. Perfectly cooked and had some great fri sauce. 5 stars
Burgers. The main event! Not bad. 7 stars. Very basic flavors and toppings. Cooked well and bun and ingredients are fresh. But it’s just a good burger and for the price I have so many choices in Boise that are as good and definitely better for a lot less! Sorry?
The main issue with this setup is the wait times. We showed up with not that many people in line and waiting an hour for two burgers and one fry. So when you factor in the cost and the wait time that is a consistent complaint in almost all the reviews you must ask yourself? Why not fix the issue? A burger is not made or cooked better when it takes longer. This is purely a staffing and layout execution problem.
Thus the overall 4 star review dropped to a three.
Expect to wait 1 or two hours no matter what. I think a good plan is to order and go next door and grab a drink as you wait, because you will wait. However overall without a solid plan I wouldn’t go back as food taste and price are not worth the wait.

After arriving at 4:57 pm we waited over 2 hours and it was worth every second.
This concept by Sami and his wife allows average consumers an opportunity to access higher quality ingredients.
This is great concept , the burger is the art piece. I loved the layers of flavors. Each stood out amazingly. For 11$ they aren’t making crazy high margins or getting rich. This is about the bigger picture.
If you want to support small business in idaho and watch this couple grow into amazing verticals. Stand in line , don’t complain , pay the price and enjoy a great burger.
We will be back. But I will show up early to help setup just to be sure I am first in line.
Thank you. 10/10

Initially hooked by the Instagram reels, and I am delighted to report that all the hype is true. These are premium burgers with quality ingredients and constructed in a no-frills way. They know their lane and stay in it remarkably well. Personable staff, efficient operation and a fantastic burger. Do not miss out on this Boise Gem!

Owner was super nice and I really enjoyed our conversation while we waited for our food. Great smash burger and fries! Really liked the fry sauce. Will definitely hit it up next time I’m in Boise.

Best burger I’ve ever had! Sure the wait was long but with the amount of people in line it was to be expected and oh man was it worth it. Kind people and great food! Can’t wait to go back.

Best burger in downtown Boise. Very filling as well. Sami and Alessandra are the best!

Cool place, good food. Overpriced. The real problem is the wait. This place is SLOW. Plan on waiting a while. Over 40 minutes for 2 burgers.

I tried this yesterday, and waiting almost two hours in the rain for a fairly basic $20 burger/fry is NOT worth it. I appreciate the local beef and tallow, but it’s two thin, greasy patties on a greasy bun with no condiments other than mustard, onions, and cheese, none of which I love. I will say the fries are pretty good, which is what bumped the stars up to 3…average, at best.
