Reviews for 7Eighty5 - Pub, Restaurant, Retail - 785 in Blackfoot, ID

It was garbage. From the moment we walked in. The hostess Donna (sp?) was rude and put us outside on the patio. She was so... racist towards my sil and kids. She wouldn?t give us a table inside. Then she sat us at a high table when we had a toddler. Ibasically had to hold my toddler the whole. The food was not good. Everything and I mean everything was over cooked! From thefinger steak appetizer (could not even bite through it) to the sea food in the sea food boil (it was like chewing a rubber bandwhen eating the shrimp and lobster). My meal was the chicken fried steak. It was so over cooked that when I cut into it all thebreading cracked and fell off the entire streak. The steak was thought and dry. We had a party of 8 and not one person likedtheir food. Read more

We had a great dining experience. It was our first time eating here, and we're impressed with the quality of food. Service was... fast and the food was delicious. We will be returning! Read more

I'm usually a bit skeptical when the other locals leave good reviews, but this place really lived up to the hype for me. There... was a minor kitchen malfunction that caused a delay, but they handled it well -- the server clearly communicated adjustedexpectations and the chef(s) went back and re-made the dish without cutting corners or rushing it. The food: They absolutelynailed the burger -- perfectly cooked, medium rare, and true to their menu listing, it was cooked from fresh, not frozen, beef.I think that's the first not-cooked-from-frozen restaurant burger I've had in Blackfoot (and don't say "try [so-and-so]...theirs is fresh." I have, and it's cooked from beef that's been frozen; I can tell). Toppings were all high-quality and fresh,and the fries were prepared in a way that you could really taste the fresh-cut potato flavor. I'm not normally a big fry-sauceguy, but theirs had a bit more acid than most, and it complemented the rest of the hamburger dish really well. My wife's pastawas really well-prepared and flavorful too. Our main dishes and side-dishes were all prepared and seasoned pretty flawlessly.I'm excited to work my way around the menu and try other options. Value: It's not the priciest restaurant in town, but it's noton the cheap side either. My take: it's worth every penny. Comparing to other American food restaurants in Blackfoot, I thinkthese guys just took the crown in my book. Disclaimer: We chose a non-busy time to come in, so this review doesn't account fortimes when they are dealing with significant multitasking. Read more

The service was terrific and the atmosphere was fun. We only tried some drinks, the finger steaks and fries. The food was greasy... and the steaks over- cooked in our opinion. Read more

Food was fabulous! The appetizers were brought to our table shortly after ordering. It was hot and delicious! Steaks were cooked... prefectly, the boil was remarkable. Our server Audrey was quick, efficient and enjoyable to speak with. The Manager DJ was thebomb. She gave us the superstar tour and told us all about their plans for the restaurant. We will definitely be back. Read more

Extremely poor and slow service. Waited a illogical amount of time to order our food with only three other observed customers to... wait upon. We might have expected such waiting times during the peak lunch hours but with only three other couples... I wouldhave anticipated more. we waited an ample amount of time to have our orders taken. Alas, we decided to take our patronage toanother more established establishment. It was a shame we did not get to dine upon the appealing menu. Perhaps, we may try againin the distant future. Then again... maybe not. Read more

Finally made it down to 7eighty5 tonight! Excellent all around. We came in early to beat any rush, sat immediately on the pub... side. The place is nice and clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Portions are bountiful and the flavors are great. I got theseafood boil with a pound of peeled shrimp and added sausage. Wife got the finger steaks. Everything was fantastic. Price wasgreat. Value for my money was excellent. This is a great addition to Blackfoot and much needed variety to our restaurant lineup. Read more

What a very cool and unique place! Very happy I chose to eat dinner here. Food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Very... clean throughout the whole restaurant. Huge drink selection, from many beers to ciders. Two separate bar and dining areas withmany large TV's to catch any game that's on. Fast and friendly servers that actually presented themselves that they enjoy theirjob and put customer service as their priority. Indoor and patio seating available. The service was top notch. One thing thatmakes this place stand out is the unique artwork inside. You'll just have to go there to understand. This is definitely acan't miss place, that is absolutely worth your time to stop. I will be back time and time again. Read more
