In-N-Out’s Master Parking Lot Plan
If you plan to be one of the first people in line at the In-N-Out in Meridian, expect to hang out in a parking lot for a while.
Four recently paved lots near the restaurant will be used for overflow parking and directed by In-N-Out employees. Over 200 staff members are being brought in for the opening, which The Village at Meridian says should happen in the next two to three weeks.
If you don’t feel like participating (but why?!), here are some local burger spots to try instead.
KB’s Coming to Warehouse Food Hall
An Idaho mainstay known for their signature burritos is finally coming to Boise proper. KB’s started in Hailey and Ketchum, and has locations in Twin Falls and Eagle.
Currently, they’re aiming to open at the Warehouse Food Hall during the last week of December.
Three New(ish) Restaurants
And lastly, a couple of restaurant openings that I may or may not have forgotten about recently:
- Tavolàta, an “approachable” Italian restaurant not to be confused with Alavita or a’Tavola. It’s on the ground floor of The Lucy apartment building on Grove between 5th and 6th Streets.
- Just a couple blocks away, Acero Boards and Bottles is open on the Grove Plaza in the former Lucky Fins location. It’s also an Italian spot, but focused on bruschetta and charcuterie boards.
- Don & Charly’s is also new to open, serving sandwiches and charcuterie boards out of a spot on 10th Street that has seen several restaurants come and go in a few years. It’s at 103 N. 10th St., next to Zen Bento.
I haven’t made it to any of these spots yet, but want to — any initial thoughts?
