Don’t be fooled by this little shack that’s tucked away in an unassuming Boise commercial center. It may not look like it, but this place serves up some of the tastiest burgers in the state of Idaho. Known as The Ranch, this humble burger stand specializes in Scottish Highland Burgers specifically and they even use beef from their own family-operated ranch. You’re in for a treat when you stop by this humble burger spot, so check it out for yourself to see what they’re all about!
Hiding in Boise is an awesome little burger drive-thru...and we ain't talking about McDonald's! The Ranch serves up an amazing burger and they are definitely worth a visit when your stomach is grumbling.
The Ranch drive-thru is actually operated by Big Valley Ranch, a family-run ranch that has been providing the Treasure Valley with naturally-raised beef and pork since 2010.
They operate both The Ranch drive-thru and a roaming food truck where they get to show off exactly how tasty their grass-fed Scottish Highland beef really is. Highland Beef is lean, well-marbled, and perfectly flavorful—you can really taste the difference!
The drive-thru boasts a variety of types of burgers to choose from, including The Trailhand: a quarter-pound of Highland beef, BBQ, sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and signature horseradish. All burgers are served with a hearty portion of fries and fry sauce, of course.
In fact, the fries are just as spectacular as the burgers. They're made fresh from Idaho potatoes right in the kitchen every day, and you can order mouthwatering variations such as garlic, truffle, cheesy pork, and chili cheese.
Don't you dare forget dessert, either. Be sure to tack on some of these chocolate-dipped Scottish shortbread cookies to your order. Made locally by Miss Kathy's Desserts, they are the perfect sweet treat after you've devoured your burger.
Come and see what the big deal is when it comes to Highland meat, and stop by The Ranch for your next meal. Be warned, though—you're bound to be hooked after the first bite, and there's no going back.
