Chomper Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

Absolutely love chompers but had such a terrible experience yesterday and I won't be returning. The hostess was the rudest most dismissive condescending person when I asked about our table. As you know your entire party must be present to be seated. We had 9 adults and 4 kids. We expected to wait knowing chompers is always busy and being a large group. However we waited for an hour as parties of 4 and 6 were continually seated within 10-15 minutes after arrival. A woman arrived told the hostess hey girl I was hoping you could squeeze in my party of 6 my friends surprised us from out of town. She responded 15-20 there's only a party of 3 in front of you. Meanwhile I ask another employee about our wait and he said you are definitely up next your name is circled that means priority don't skip. I asked the hostess you are not going to seat the party of 6 that just came in before us are you? She responded if there's room I am! I said if you continue to do that we will never get seated she well that's what I am doing. We have always had excellent customer service this was very surprising read more

They looked at me like I was stupid if I could use tap to pay in my phone since I forgot my wallet. And the crepes were unbearably sweet with a very small portion of eggs for the price. My girlfriend's breakfast was pretty alright, I robbed half of it from her. read more

Anyone's chief complaint would be the wait. But guess what? You're waiting for a reason. It's popular because the food is great. The food takes a little time because it's almost entirely made from scratch. Whether you have the specials which are usually spot on perfect or their tried and true regular menu, you're in for a fantastic dining experience. Bottom Line: Great food, fantastic and cheerful service. I'll be back much sooner than later. read more

Got the seasonal strawberry rhubarb cinnamon roll meal, we also got the country boy Benny and the ham Benny with a pancake, homemade biscuit, orange juice and black coffee and it was super yummy! Love the space, love the staff, and LOVE their food! Can't wait to be back next trip! read more

Chomper Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

We are visiting family here in Hayden. We came with my Mother in law. When we first arrived, the outside of the restaurant was so cute and very clean. As we walked in the door, the bar was located directly to the left. We were seated quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was excellent. I tried the BATS omelette and it was delicious. The Chomper fries are on point and definitely recommend getting them. Every thing was delicious and very well priced. We will definitely be back. read more

This is a great breakfast/lunch spot with ample parking and awesome service. While visiting Silverwood theme park we decided to eat at local restaurants. The first bonus was the parking here. They don't have RV parking per se, but the lot was huge and we had no problem parking our 25 foot trailer and truck. The service here was phenomenal. Right away you can tell it's a hometown diner with people who care. The place was packed and yet we got no excuses friendly and prompt service as if to say "we are proud we are this busy". All the food was on point. Bacon was crisp and well cooked. Waffles were light and crispy. The star was the sausage gravy. It was pretty special and we can't recommend it enough. In all - this is a great hometown diner to visit for breakfast or lunch. read more

Best cinnamon rolls in town. Every time someone comes to visit us, we take them to chomper. It's so good! During summer it's nice to sit on the patio too. The wait staff is always wonderful and food is amazing. It is a local GEM! read more

It's always a good sign when you get to a place and there's a wait. For an impatient guy like me it took a lot not to just turn around and find somewhere with immediate seating. (Immediate seating usually translates into a mediocre nationally branded restaurant). Chomper Cafe is the farthest thing from mediocre. Since there was only two of us, we were able to sit at the counter and were served very quickly. The awesomeness started right away with a cup of fresh ground Doma coffee. While it's not my favorite local coffee, it shows that the folks who run the place have put some thought into what they're doing. We didn't get much past the breakfast section of the menu since that's the reason we were there but there was a good selection of burgers and sandwiches to compliment the breakfast items. I came to a full stop at the CFS (that is, chicken fried steak for the uninitiated) and the wife at the Country Boy Benny. My gauge of a breakfast spot is quality of the CFS. If I could I could give a ten star review I surely would! These folks nailed it in spades. Instead of the all too frequent chopped, processed, and frozen C+ food service CFS patty Chomper Cafe uses an 8 or so ounce petite sirloin that was so tender that I could literally cut it with a fork. It took me a minute or two to figure out what the flavor was I was tasting. It was STEAK FLAVOR!!! Everything that surrounded this masterpiece was equal in quality and flavor, from the smooth sausage gravy to the perfectly cooked over medium eggs. The Country Boy Benny that the wife had was a delicious looking combo consisting of two biscuits, patty sausage, and eggs topped with the same sausage gravy. She opted for the Chopper Fries which are thick sliced deep fried potatoes. Since she finished it all, I'd call that a winner, too! One of the best parts was the staff. They worked well with each other and seemed to genuinely enjoy working with one another. If there was any drama or tension it was certainly *not* customer facing. It's a bit of a drive from Spokane but worth it for any true breakfast lover. We're definitely coming back to work our way through this menu. read more

Omg!! What can I say?! This cafe was amazing! My husband and I have been trying new to us restaurant and this one did not disappoint! The restaurant was super cute, staff was super friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. Their sausage gravy was probably the best I love ever had. This will definitely be a staple in our choice of restaurants! read more

Chomper is a go to spot for all your breakfast and lunch cravings. Cute little spot with a farmhouse environment that includes indoor and outdoor seating. I would suggest trying the corned beef hash as it's one of the best in the area! Service is spectacular with a relaxing ambience that is sure to please! read more

The restaurant was cute, the server was nice, and the coconut hot chocolate was very good. The food itself was pretty bland and lacking effort-- especially in the spam, eggs, and rice (which was served specifically with chopsticks for some reason??). The (seasonal) coconut hot chocolate really carried. Probably won't be back. read more

This is one of our favorites, just recently, to go for breakfast. Churro waffles are amazing. Mexican hot chocolate is only for the brave at heart; it's spicy but delicious. I'm the only one our family that enjoys it though. They have great pancakes, great omelets and good Benedict's. I like that they have smoked salmon as a choice for benedicts. The country benedict is a bit too heavy for me, comes with biscuits and gravy, but yummy for sure. The service is good, they are all very nice, but for as many as there are running around, it can be hard to get there attention sometimes. The booths could use updating as they are messed up, but otherwise it's a very charming setting. There's even a fire outside of you need you waiting for your table on the front porch. Really cute setting next to a barn and a nice patio. I do t like that you cannot be put on a waiting list from the phone as the wait can be long. However, the aforementioned charming surroundings makes the wait not so bad. We'll keep coming back for sure! read more

It's been a minute since eating at Chomper Cafe but my meals have been great. Has a country kitchen, friendly feel. My adult son loved the cinnamon roll, best ever in his opinion. I loved the big country style potatoes with my breakfast. Now I'm hungry & ready to go back. read more

Great food! Very friendly people! The Fish & Chips are amazing! We will definitely be returning soon!!

Came here on a Saturday around 9am- right during their breakfast rush hour-naturally! It was pretty cold outside so we stuffed ourselves into the front waiting room- against the counter diners (very small counter). We were not sure where to check in-as the waitresses were pretty busy. We finally saw someone write their name on a board-which was their waitlist. Would have been helpful if there were a sign-or a quick greeting from someone to instruct us how they do things. That aside, it only took about 20 minutes to be sat, and our server was prompt & friendly. The food was quick to get out to us and was a satisfying breakfast. We recommend the cinnamon roll with huckleberry sauce! YUM! We will be back. read more

The service, the food, and the atmosphere is by far the best!! If you haven't tried it, do it. You won't regret it!

The food is good although we have not tried many things on the menu. Service is always friendly and the servers are great. The ambience is very diner like which is a plus. The outside surrounding is charming. I'm sure that we will be going that back there many times in the future read more

Excellent food and fair prices. Very professional service. I might eat there again if I get the opportunity.

First and last time here! Went at 11:00. Said it would be 15 minutes to be seated. Closer to 45 minutes. Place was so cold, air blowing right on us. Ordered a simple burger and chili. Sat for over 40 minutes, waitress never came back. People who were seated after us got their food! Finally asked the person clearing tables to find our waitress and check on our food. She came over and said it would be ready soon. I think she totally forgot us! Food arrived, chili was dried out, burger was so-so. Ate part and got the heck out of there! read more

First star for corned beef hash suggestion Second star seasonal cinnamon roll's tasty digestion Third, many a coffee refill Four, a reasonable bill But is it worth the wait is the missing fifth star question Sunday. Name on page 2 of paper clipboard list written down at 10:30 am. Three of us seated at 11:36 am. By 11:43 we were greeted by a server as upbeat as the environment. Fifteen minutes after ordering we were eating our entrees, in the meantime we enjoyed the delectable espresso cinnamon roll, the August special. While my spouse claims her chicken fried steak was a tad salty and covered with a paucity of gravy, our daughter mowed down her breakfast sandwich and house potatoes. I took Yelp's collective suggestion of the hash which was originally savory. A kid friendly atmosphere where framed black and white pictures hang on white walls below pig and chicken painted icons, Chompers Cafe will be a place to which we return but hopefully at a time with not as much of a wait. read more

Chomper Cafe - Menu cover - Cafes Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

10/10 experience! Chompers is the cutest cafe. I had family come into town and we decided to try out Chompers for the first time. The service, atmosphere, and food were excellent! They have a very large menu with so many delicious options. All our meals came out looking amazing and yummy. Great portions and prices, too. You can tell they use quality and fresh ingredients for their dishes. They are a very gluten free friendly restaurant, as well. A great place for everyone to try! read more

I met up with some friends for breakfast. We were able to be seated immediately and coffee's came right out with a smile. The place seemed alive with other patrons laughter and lively conversations. Salmon Benedict with Chomper Fries for me. It's was as good as I had hoped for. Loved it. We sat indoors and I really appreciated that the decor reflected an authentic North Idaho vibe. Yet I was pleasantly surprised that Chompers nicely incorporated legit gluten free options. I must mention that the place was very clean and our cups were kept full. read more

Great service, food & menu. Our coffee cups were constantly refreshed. Found our breakfast go to place!!

We came here expecting an experience like it's sister location Belle's, and we're disappointed. It took us about 45 minutes to get a table (to be fair it was a bit packed) and another 25 minutes to get our food. Overall the food was okay, except the bacon. The bacon looked like it had been sent to the sun and was charred as well as burnt. The Sprite tasted like sweet water with little carbonation. TL;DR: Long wait time, burnt bacon, but overall decent food read more

This five star rating is solely because of the fact that cassie resolved the situation. We had called in to place a Togo order and whoever the male server was answered the phone and was very rude and even hung up the phone while trying to order. Still wanting to try this spot since we've heard amazing things we went in to try to order the food. Obviously already frustrated. Cassie apologized and even gave us a cinnamon roll on the house to help soothe our frustration. Which was incredible by the way. We will be in again because of her. read more

Homemade delicious. Pics look just as lushious as it tasted. Cold brew, hot coffee, hippie toast and the veggie scramble with crab was a win. Friendly,laid back atmosphere where you can tell they enjoy serving others. read more

Remembered having a great experience here however coming back they have closed the kids kitchen because of Covid but Will give you a pancake syrup dispenser that probably 15 other tables have touched. Fortunately I found out before I ordered food and did not drink my orange juice or my coffee and do not support this restaurant anymore. My daughter was super upset because that was the main reason we were coming here. read more

I've been trying out a lot of breakfast places lately in the area, and this one tops my favorite list. Service was great, and the food was outstanding! Restaurant is quaint and cute. We sat at the counter to avoid the wait. They serve breakfast and lunch. I will definitely be back to try lunch. The eggs Benedict is a must to try. They make there own amazing hollandaise sauce. They offer hash browns and Chomper fries. I had the hash browns which were great, not greasy. read more

Chompers is new and needs some kinks worked out to be great. The wait time is average for a decent breakfast place, so be prepared. The atmosphere is "cozy" but they could eliminate the childs' kitchen play area to accommodate a few more two person tables. Once seated we ordered the "appetizer" cinnamon roll, but didn't get it till we got bfast and ended taking it home at that point. A few hours later we had the roll. I probably wouldn't get the maple pecan again. The maple frosting was over cooked and was too sugary and the roll was very dry. My omelet was pretty good, along with the chomper fries. I did like that they had great strawberry jam AND they put it in a squeeze bottle instead of the tiny plastic cups...so that was a bonus. It's too bad they don't use local bread to make it fabulous. Their gravy was good, but not the best in town and not quite the same as their counterpart restaurant (not as thick and less meat and tasted like cheese...weird). My breakfast cohort had the chicken fry, said it was "okay." He originally wanted corned beef hash, but were out of browns. His boy got the french toast, it looked good and he gobbled it right down. I suppose it's picky, but I prefer raw sugar for my coffee, but the main thing that really got me, was the food temp. Everything we got was just warm and not hot, so it was sitting for awhile and that is one thing that is hard for me to get over. It's hard, I want to compare it to The Cottage, since I know there is a strong affiliation, but it's probably not fair to them with me doing that and I'm a breakfast snob, so there's that. This place is definitely better than most places in the Cd'A/Hayden area and they could give my favorite place a run, but they need to refine things a wee bit. I will go back, eventually, and try it again though. read more

What a wonderful place. The food, service and atmosphere were exceptional. I loved it and will be coming back very often. Thank you

Great staff. Menu has nice variety. Specials always are. Wish there were more places like Chompers.

Good location, pleasant staff. Food not as pleasing as a few years prior. Perhaps we caught it on a down day?

Food was tasty however the kitchen is painfully slow, waited over 10 minutes for our food after ordering, it wasn't even crowded with guests

Nice outdoor dining, good food! I had the eggs Benedict. It was my first time there in the place was packed so I'm assuming it's a local favorite. read more
