Rib Shack also was the top according to Love Exploring says, "Ask for the best barbecue in Boise and people will tell you to head for Rib Shack Barbecue, a casual sit-down spot serving Kansas City-style, dry-rubbed, slow-smoked meat with dozens of homemade sauces. It's known for its sweet and smoky baby back ribs and beef tri-tip served spicy and rare – its leftovers are great for making sandwiches. Customers also love the crunchy coleslaw and five-bean baked beans."
