Lucky Fins, the seafood and sushi restaurant that has anchored a stretch of Eagle Road in Meridian for 15 years, has closed temporarily. The closure comes as the restaurant undergoes what it describes as a little glow-up, with plans to reopen later this month.
According to the Idaho Statesman, Lucky Fins announced it was closing its Meridian location at 1441 N. Eagle Road for remodeling, describing the project in those terms. Lucky Fins' Yelp page gives the same Eagle Road address, matching the restaurant's own description of being located off Eagle Road in Meridian, according to Lucky Fins' website.
A social media post from the restaurant indicated plans to reopen in late November, and Lucky Fins' Yelp page specifically lists November 23, 2026 as the scheduled reopening date, per the Statesman's reporting. The Meridian restaurant first opened in 2011, making it one of the longer-running seafood spots in the area.
A Changing Footprint for the Seafood Chain
Lucky Fins has seen its Treasure Valley presence shift over the past few years. The chain's downtown Boise restaurant, which closed in 2023, has since become Acero, the Statesman reports. That closure followed a separate downturn tied to the Grove Plaza, where business never returned to pre-pandemic levels after 2020, according to the paper's earlier reporting on the downtown location's shutdown.
Other seafood concepts tied to the same restaurant family have also come and gone in the region. Naked Fins operated for five years at 1120 S. Broadway Ave. in Boise before closing in 2023, and that space is now home to The Protein Spot, per the Statesman. Meanwhile, a related brand, Smokin Fins, continues to operate in Twin Falls and three Colorado cities, and Lucky Fins itself also has a location in Greeley, Colorado.
Strong Reviews Ahead of the Reopening
Even with the doors temporarily shut, Lucky Fins Meridian carries a substantial online reputation. The restaurant has more than 500 Yelp reviews with a 4.0-star rating. On Google, the Meridian location has drawn more than 2,300 reviews with a 4.5-star rating, per the Statesman's reporting.
Some recent Yelp reviews have been positive. One of the most recent reviews praised the food and said the reviewer planned to return on future visits to Boise, while another recent five-star review praised the restaurant's vibe and service, according to the Statesman's account of the Yelp page.
What the Restaurant Offers
Lucky Fins describes itself as a seafood, sushi, cocktails, and coastal-inspired restaurant, according to its own company website. The Meridian location's site specifically touts fresh seafood, handcrafted sushi, and grill favorites for diners off Eagle Road. With a reopening targeted for later this month, regulars will soon find out exactly what that glow-up looks like in person.
