Good homestyle cookin' in Boise. This is a large 50s style diner with lots of memorabilia from that era on the walls. We were welcomed in on a holiday weekend afternoon. Plenty of choices on the menu and also includes a senior menu. Since we were out of state visitors, we opted again for a plate including the state's famous potatoes. My choice was the Idaho skillet which was eggs, country potatoes, broccoli (getting the veggies in! Lol), turkey, and cheese. The seasoning was a bit weak but on the table there were salt and pepper shakers, hot sauce, and ketchup available. I added pepper and had ketchup on the side. Tasty and huge portions! Hubby's choice was the pot roast with mashed potatoes. It tried a little bit of his and that is was big plate of comfort food! I tried a little bit of his chowder and that was just OK. As for beverages, the coffee and orange juice were just fine. Service was warm and kind. If visiting in the part of Boise again, we would return for brunch or explore a new spot via yelp. 4 stars!

Egg, sausage & pancakes combo.

Open all day for breakfast which is nice. I took a seat at the counter. Very friendly servers who are kind of entertaining and carry on a constant banter. I ordered the single egg, sausage links, and pancake combo for $11.50. It's a busy place, but the food came fairly quickly. The fried egg was cooked nicely and the sausage links were tasty. The server suggested two single pancakes instead of the plate size which she said was huge. Probably should have had the plate size because the pancakes were thick and absorbed the syrup like sponges. There's nothing wrong with the place. Eddie's is average and a decent spot for breakfast.

Chicken fried steak, eggs, hashbrowns, toast

This is a great, casual 50s style diner! For the price, I was shocked by how much food I got and the chicken fried steak and eggs were delicious. Food came over so quick and very hot! Great spot!

omelette done right.
Mike C.

Eddie's Diner truly knows how to do breakfast right! I ordered the Western omelette, and it was everything I hoped for - cheesy, gooey, and cooked perfectly. Each bite was flavorful and satisfying, exactly the way I like my omelettes. Alongside, I had coffee, toast with peanut butter, and hashbrowns. The coffee was smooth and kept piping hot, thanks to the attentive waitstaff who ensured my cup never ran dry. My water and juice were also constantly topped off, and the staff seemed to be there the instant I needed anything. Their attention to detail made me feel so well taken care of throughout my meal. Eddie's Diner deserves every one of these five stars for their fantastic food and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back soon for another breakfast that hits all the right notes! The sound of the customers and the conversations was very pleasant and calm, very professional in and out breakfast diner/restaurant.

Car themed diner with friendly staff. Huge restaurant and not too busy, was seated right away. Menu is no frills with standard breakfast options. Only sweet options are pancakes and French toast. Went with the Eggs Benedict. I am always nervous ordering a this at a diner as they don't always know how to poach an egg and the Hollandaise sauce is easy to get wrong. Food arrived and the hollandaise sauce had an orange color that made me nervous. Flavor was good though and the eggs were properly poached. Hashbrowns were good too. Not super impressed with the menu but if you want a giant omelet or a monster sized pancake this is a decent option.

Cheese omelette, hash browns and a HUGE biscuit!

Eddie's Restaurant was recommended to us by the owner of our Airbnb in Boise as being close by and having good food and he was right! We ate there for brunch on Saturday morning and it was a hopping place--but we only had to wait a few minutes. Our server was very efficient if a bit frazzled by the brisk business. The place has an old-timely diner feel with license plates and photos of cars on the walls and we could tell they catered to the local folks, especially veterans. They even had a waiting corner with newspapers. We both ordered omelettes with hash browns and I had toast with mine and my friend had a pancake. The omelette was stuffed with so much ham that I had to take some out, but it and the hash browns and toast tasted great. The coffee was good as well and the prices were very reasonable. It was so good, in fact, that we went there for dinner that night and breakfast the next morning! I had a Philly cheese steak sandwich that night with homemade fries that were delicious; my friend had liver and onions that came with ham and potato soup, mashed potatoes, corn and a roll. She said her liver was a little chewy, but otherwise good and the soup was delicious. Our breakfast the next day was delicious as well; the biscuit I got was the biggest one I've ever seen! The fact that of all the places to eat in Boise, we ate there 3 times: it's worth the trip!

Soup and salad combo
Jason S.

I really wanted to like this place more and I am giving an extra star for the outstanding service we had last night 10/6 at approximately 7:30p and sat near the windows in case the owners read this. I didn't catch her name but she is a gold star for sure. The food however was lack luster at best. I had the club sandwich and it might've been the worst one I have ever had. Mind you the restaurant was absolutely dead so the fact they sloppily put this together is inexcusable. The bacon was left over and not fresh, the romaine soggy had to take it off and the tomatoes you could also tell had been sitting around. Complete disappointment as well as the frozen tater tot's that tasted like they had been cooked and heated multiple times. My wife had the bowl of soup and salad and while they claim the soup is homemade that could be up for question. Wasn't even that hot and the salad was as basic but sad to say but it was the freshest tasting part of the meal. This is sad because this town is lacking places like this. They could kill it based on location and type of food but the key is slowing it down and putting the care back into the food and presentation. They have been around for decades for a reason and would suggest getting back to roots of just that....

Oh, Eddie's restaurant is an old-time favorite. When I moved to Idaho 8 years ago, my sister brought me here, and the dishes are all American breakfast and lunch dishes. Big plates of food. my husband and I came here because we were looking for a place that was open at 6am, and Eddie's was the lucky winner. The inside of the restaurant is all classic and a lot of car plates from everywhere. We ordered the food and it was as delicious as I remembered. I had no complaints it was a traditional American breakfast.

I'm in the parking lot, they were actually closed on thanksgiving which is totally understandable so they could be home with their families.

I have been to quite a few joints downtown already. I wasn't dressed the best so heading to Bacon or Tupelo Honey for breakfast would have been a little embarrassing. And I didn't want to deal with parking so after doing a little research, Elmer's was my spot to grab some food. Driving up to the restaurant, there were quite a few cars in the parking lot. What have I been missing out on? This place was poppin! I know Elmer's has been around for a hot minute and as long as I have lived here, I have never been. Seeing that the parking lot was pretty full, I took it as a good sign about my choice of coming here. I was sat at a small table by the fireplace. It's a pretty cozy venue. Bright from all the windows. The fireplace was going so it was nice and toasty. It was a very chill setting. Mariah got some coffee started for me while I was breezing over the menu. They have a little of everything for breakfast and some lunch options. I ordered the Hungry Rancher for breakfast. I should have known that my eyes were bigger than my stomach cause it was a lot of food! You get 3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of ham, 2 sausage links, hashbrowns and fruit. I also got a side of country gravy and pancake syrup. Gotta have pancake syrup for the sausage links! My eggs were fried hard and were perfect. The sausage links had a nice browning on them which I love. It was paired nicely with the pancake syrup. I ate a couple bites of my hashbrowns with the gravy. The top of the hashbrowns were crispy and golden but the middle part of the hashbrowns were still undercooked. You get a great portion of the hashbrowns which is fantastic but when it's that thick of a portion, the middle of it ends up not cooking all the way through. I ended up taking my ham and bacon home with me. I didn't have enough room to finish my huge plate! The one thing I noticed about this joint were all the older folks here. It was nice seeing them out, socializing, playing card games after their meal and enjoying life. This must be the go to spot for senior citizens. I did feel out of place amongst these fabulous folks but honestly it was fun. They are so chill. No drama. No loud conversations. Everyone was just having a relaxing and fun time. I can hang with these folks any day! It was a fun experience today at Elmer's. The food was hefty and good. The crowd is chill and fun to be around. The venue is comfortable and relaxing. I'm happy I got to grab a meal here in between my appointments. I got to enjoy my meal and wasn't rushed. Mariah did a great job taking care of me. I don't know when I'll be in the area again but I'll be hitting up Elmer's if I am, especially for breakfast.

This classic, retro spot delivers a highly unique novelty experience with a massive menu. While the…read moremain food items are fairly standard, the incredibly creative dessert and the nostalgic drive-in atmosphere make it a fun, memorable stop. Finger Steak Basket (3/5): A very generous portion that comes packed with battered, deep-fried strips of steak, tater tots (gems), and a slice of garlic bread. The finger steaks are served with a traditional cocktail sauce, which is an interesting pairing for beef that didn't quite hit the mark for me personally. They tasted much better when dipped in fry sauce instead, which also pairs perfectly with the crispy gems. The garlic bread is a nice addition to round out the basket, though it lacks a strong buttery or garlicky flavor profile. The Idaho Ice Cream Potato (5/5): An incredibly creative dessert that's worth the $7 price tag for the fun novelty alone. It looks exactly like a real baked potato, but is actually a generous portion of vanilla ice cream coated in cocoa powder, and topped with chocolate syrup, peanuts, and crushed Oreo cookies, though you can ask to omit any toppings you don't want. Logistics Tip: The restaurant is highly flexible, offering two drive-through lanes for quick to-go orders alongside plenty of traditional parking spots if you want to dine on-site at their outdoor seating. Restrooms are available and are located directly behind the main building.

Karinna was our server, and she did an excellent job of taking care of us; friendly, attentive, and helpful. That are known for their scones. To me, they weren't really like the scones I'm used to. They're big pastries of fried dough, and you can get them covered with cinnamon and sugar, fruit, cream cheese, and more. I had the three egg Jalapeño and cheese omelet (spicy/good) with hash browns and upgraded to the cinnamon and sugar "scone". My wife got eggs and sausage, hash browns, and the same type of scone. The food was all good, but the scones were delicious! More like a large pastry churro, and with butter on top it was amazing. My problem was with the men's bathroom. It was disgusting. Dirty, paper on the floor, toilet--well, you get the idea. This caused me to look around and see that the place was not all that clean. So, the next time we would come, and that would be for those scones, we'd do takeout.

So when the menu specifically says home-made chicken fried steak I get excited. And it is possible that I came to Merritts with too high expectations. That being said the chicken fried steak was very bland, no flavor. Salt and pepper couldn't save it. The scone was cooked perfectly but whatever honey butter they are using was waxy and not much flavor. My wife also said her omelette just didn't taste right. She also had the Boston shake which was basically just ice cream on top of milkshake, didn't really look or taste like a sundae. She also said the chocolate tasted stale. The service was fine for having few customers. I'm not a huge fan of going to a restaurant and having Dr Pepper in a bottle. So yes, a cup of ice was appreciated. The restaurant itself is what you would expect for a roadside family dinner. It actually added to the excitement of what I expected the food to taste like. There are just so many good breakfast restaurants that I could not give this a 3. I would not come back and I cannot recommend for anybody else. Sorry Merritts.

We take both very seriously, so Goldy's was high on our list during our trip to Boise--and it did not disappoint. We ended up sitting upstairs, which turned out to be a great choice. It gave us a fun view of the dining room below and, more importantly, let us see all the amazing-looking plates coming out of the kitchen. If you're anything like me, half the fun of breakfast is seeing what everyone else ordered. The standout for both of us was easily the Goldy's Special Potatoes. The red potatoes are tossed with the restaurant's house seasoning blend, and whatever is in that seasoning mix works. They were flavorful, crispy, and completely addictive. We both cleaned our plates. I ordered the two-egg breakfast with scrambled eggs and cheese, along with one of their specialty sausages. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the biscuit was excellent. Since I was in Idaho, I also wanted to try something made with marionberries because they're so well known in the Pacific Northwest. I ordered the marionberry jam, and while I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, both my husband and I really enjoyed it. My husband went with an omelet and turkey apple sausage and was equally happy with his choice. The coffee was probably the only thing that didn't stand out to me. I drink my coffee black, and this was more of a classic diner-style cup of coffee--perfectly fine, but not the star of the meal for sure. Overall, Goldy's is exactly the kind of breakfast spot we love finding when we travel: great food, generous portions, and a place that feels like a local favorite for a reason. If we ever find ourselves back in Boise, we'll absolutely be back for those potatoes.

We came at 10:15am on a Friday and had to wait over 30min. The host was super nice. We didn't leave until 11:45. It was a long wait to get our food. I would say this place struck me as a very average diner, still good, but not amazing. My food was pretty cold when I got it but it was good. I actually really liked the coffee too. I probably would not come back but it's worth a try.
