“Hurry! Just buzz over here right now! What a vibey addition to this area of downtown! It's super chill, super fresh & super YUM! I was hoping to try the greek salad, but it was crossed off the menu for tonight so I went Full Send for the Wet Burrito! (haha!) I am SO glad I tried this! The smoked pulled-pork was delicious! The sauce was great, but my favorite bites included the green onions + cotija cheese toppings! The food was prepared quickly and I enjoyed eating my meal outside in their large courtyard type area! It had large umbrellas for shade & misters! I can't wait to try more on the menu! Great job!“

“Crisp at the Sparrow hotel is a great addition to downtown. I’ve had the smoothies, pork belly tacos, and beet salad, which have all been really good. But the quesadilla birria is my go-to and highly recommend with corn tortillas! They have a large shared patio with seating and never had to wait long for an order.“

“Excellent brek et lunch prep’d with love and care for YOU.. Husband and wife J and C are the most together of chefs, or most chefy of couples. Drawing from global experience and the local produce; bolstered by daring, and sharp instincts, J and C offer no-fail delicious breakfasts and lunches. They had (and have) a food truck, and now they’re shining out of this Spartan trailer. Hec, if they were working out of a ’95 Pontiac Bonneville they’d still find a way to deliver the goods. We do hope they thrive and not move on to a global hotspot. For it can be at times dispiriting to have so-little foot traffic in the block, nor much referral from the decidedly UN-bustling Sparrow Hotel. Well, good J and C, do know this: you are appreciated and we hold you dear. We GET it.. and we’d like to get more. This writer has often done so. Sometimes being daring himself, getting a special (never disappointed) or sticking to mainstay Pastrami sandwich. So filling! So tasty! The chips that give the biz it’s name make for a terrific side, along with the dippin’ sauce. One negative: early closing .. 2pm? Help Me, Rhonda… Suggestion 1 - loyalty program. these primo meals can set a body back, esp when adding well-deserved tip.. i'd imbibe more often if we got a discount. something like 9 meals gets the tenth for a buck... Suggestion 2 - fix the website link. when i click from google maps, brings up a strange empty page? i can help! Crisp is not gonna get reviews such as “well my daddy took us when we was little, and now we go and take the young ‘uns ‘cause ain’t that #boiseNice ? “ Oh no, friend. Crisp is new. No legacy. Not complacent. Never taking customers for granted. J and C have a place in the world of MERITOCRACY. And in that world they shall thrive. Let ‘em win you ova !

“Tried for the third time today and have been really happy with the food. Burrito, pastrami sandwich, and now the birria quesadilla (maybe my favorite so far) have all been great. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!“

“This place combines a food truck vibe with the convenience of a covered outdoor patio or indoor seating in the lobby of the Sparrow Hotel. Let's start with the owners, who couldn't be nicer! It's hard to believe just two people can pump out such consistently amazing food. Others have said it, but the birria quesadilla is outstanding. It rivals the one at Amano in Caldwell. My wife raves about the Coconut Curry Noodles and Schnitzel Sandwich. When you're ordering at the window, make sure to check out the specials board that's down at knee height. There's always something to tempt you away from what you intended to order! Even as the temperatures drop, you can cozy up to the outdoor fireplace or take your meal indoors. Form & Function in the lobby conveniently sells wine!“
