Boise Restaurant Guide

Not sure what the last reviewer was talking about but I just ate lunch there this afternoon and the whole experience was great. Nice (thick) sandwich, good soup and a drink at a fair price (I think I paid $6-7). Even though there was a pretty good-sized lunch crowd, the staff kept things moving (and were as friendly as ever).

Now I can't say that I'm a regular, But I've gone there on and off since it opened. I'd have to say it's as good or better now than it was under the original owners. It's not fine dining (it's a deli for goodness sakes) but if you want a good sandwich, great breads or bagels, I'd check 'em out. I think they cater too. Oh, and try the Ruben (yum).

I would give negative stars if possible! Ever since the ownership changed Dina's has gone WAY downhill! The employees are rude and unsanitary. We saw an employee come in from smoking a cigarette and put on gloves to make a sandwich without even washing her hands first!!! GROSS! The soup was burnt and the bread was sliced paper thin, if that! And then they tried to hand the bread to us without putting it in a bag. To top things off they overcharged us. When we called about the overcharge, the manager had a major attitude and was very condescending. We work in the business complex behind the deli and have been going there for YEARS. This new group/owner is a disgrace. We'd rather walk through the smoky bar at Lindy's next door to get food rather than go back to Dina's. Shame on them!
