Idle Isle Cafe - Blintzes - American Near Me - Brigham City, Utah

Idle Isle has reopened under new owners and management. I had the half sandwich and cup of soup combo. I ordered the club sandwich which a traditional club has three slices of bread. This did not so that was different. The soup was taco soup which I was thrilled to see on the menu as the previous owners had completely removed. It was tasty. Not quite the same as the original taco soup but still good. The only thing disappointing was the apricot jam. The original homemade apricot jam was much thicker. This was more of a runny unsweetened syrup. I'll be back to try other meals. Oh and their payment system is not set up to print receipts which I do require so I hope they get that figured out. read more

This was absolutely the worst business I have ever been to. We went for my Mother's 80th birthday as a group of 14, on a Friday night. The night started off poorly when myself and others tried ordering a baked potato as a side and were informed that was not available because it had not been prepared that night by the staff. My sister tried ordering 3 different menu options, all were "not available". I ordered a rib eye steak medium. Twenty minutes after everyone else had their food, my steak finally came, medium well. I notified the waitress and she said she'd let them know. Out walks a man, who then proceeds to tell me my steak is cooked exactly as I ordered it and he'll show me a picture of how a steak cooked medium should look. My family member sitting next to me also ordered her steak medium, hers was actually pink, mine was not. He then started to pull his phone out to prove to me, I was wrong. My brother told him to put his phone away, my steak was overcooked, period! He left, but was not done with me yet! As we were all gathering to take a family picture he returned and pulled me aside to again show me a picture of what my steak should look like. Yet even his picture showed pink, of my steak had any pink, it was the tiniest bit of pink you've ever seen. In all this commotion I also found out that my sister did not have any cheese on her Malibu chicken. Yet this cook proceeded to tell me that they take great pride in their food and he was showing me that my steak was cooked to the standard it should have been. My brother in law told this man to leave me alone and drop it. My sister told him she tried ordering 3 different things and they didn't have them. His reply was there will always be shortages. My sister then told him it was done and over, leave us alone. I'm a very understanding person. I don't like to complain if my food isn't up to par. But this was bad even for me. The waitress we had was so nice! Yet this man ruined everything about this experience for everyone! When you're paying a lot of money for food it should be prepared in a way that you're like. Really it should just be prepared like it states on the menu. To order a simple Malibu chicken and not have a slice of cheese is ridiculous! To see that this place has this high of a rating is appalling! Clearly it's because there's not a lot of places to eat in Brigham City! Because of this place was in a bigger city, it would be black listed instantly! Especially with a cook who comes out and argues with customers who aren't satisfied with his cooking. Do better!! read more

I didn't want to give up on this place because I love the old timey feel and the fact that I used to really enjoy it, so I tried them again, and I'm happy to report... they definitely improved. The service is wayyyy better and so is most foods. Some are still not as good as they used to be, like the French onion soup and apparently most soups, but the rest we tried were very good. Good for them and us. Now we have another place to dine out again here in Brigham. read more

We attended a private party here on a Wednesday. They are usually closed but the owners catered our private party. Our choices for dinner were, salmon or prime rib with mashed, baked or fried, freshed corn, rolls and peach cobbler. My husband loved the salmon. I don't eat prime rib or seafood, so I enjoyed a salad and mashed potatoes with gravy. They were very good. The peach cobbler was, meh. It had a weird taste so we did not like it. The ice cream was great. The decorations were very old and interesting to look at. My Dad loved the Ilse. read more

Food was delicious. Staff was attentive and friendly. As we were leaving the owner gave us a brief history of some of the antiques on display. Being new in town, this was my first visit and will definitely not be my last read more

Amazing food the cowgirl burger so good with fried pickles and pepper jack. The sweet potato fries so yummy with a crisp outside and soft fluffy inside.

Where the day slows and you can have a nice conversation over dinner with out the rush. Definitely if you in box elder county stop in Brigham city and check it out. You'll be taken back be a good experience and extremely good eats. read more

We had the most amazing time during our visit to Idle Isle Cafe today!!! The service was the best I've experienced in any restaurant in years, and I was so impressed with the way the owners were so welcoming and friendly with all of their customers. The food was absolutely delicious!! I loved the pot roast, and the serving size was enormous!!! The fried cheese appetizer was also stellar, and more than enough to feed a hungry party of 4. Other table favorites were the soup, schnitzel, and the burgers were delicious!!! Five stars is not enough for this jewel of a restaurant. I'd give them 10 if I could!!! Try this quaint and comfortable restaurant, you'll be happy you did!!! read more

Hard to believe it's been 3 yrs since my last Idle Isle review. Friend and I enjoyed a leisurely Saturday meal, me with the Pork Schnitzel and kraut. Service was very friendly and polite, as usual. Was disappointed my favorite hot potato dish had been removed from the menu, but I guess nothing stays the same forever. :) Also ordered Beef Stuffed Rolls to go for husband; thankfully those were available. Quiet and doing a steady busy, we were able to hear ourselves talk without having to yell. Will return. read more

Absolute dining experience. Great burger great vibes Brigham city is proper. Fast service but made to order warm food was great.

Love the small town restaurant vibe. Customer service was spot on. Started with fresh served rolls that were soft and warm. Next was the cheese curds that tasted like ooey cheesey goodness. The crispy onions rings with hot onion inside, pickles were crispy and hot. The spicy ranch with them was extra yummy. Cowgirl Kate was super juicy with the pepper jack cheese and the spicy ranch was yummmy!! Chicken strips were hot with two sides. Mashed potatoes with a touch of garlic- yummmmm. The drive was fast, the small town friendly people are a nice change from your typical chain restaurants. read more

Food is nasty never consistent management is not appreciative to costumers complaining.

I love this place-delish comfort food with great service tucked away in a historic setting. When everything around you seems unpredictable, sitting down for a meal at the timless Idle Isle is a respite. read more

Amazing service and top notch customer service. Will definitely be dinning here again. Portion size is great and very filling

The first thing I want to say is the food and drinks are amazing. Love this place. The owner and staff are mostly friendly and down to earth. If you are in the area and want to try something different. This is the place for you. I came back here back to back to try different and also got to go to eat at airport. read more

This is the second time in as many weeks that we have eaten at Idle Isle. Both times the service, food and atmosphere were amazing. We like the "old time" feel of the restaurant, and it is quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation. Last week I dropped my leftover container and the roast beef spilled out of the container. The owner offered to get me another container, I declined, but he came running after us out on the street with a new container. When I got home, I think there was more roast beef in my "take home" than I originally got. So nice!! Today we decided to have lunch there. My husband had the Ruben Sandwich and I had a grilled chicken salad. Both were delicious, mounds of corned beef on the Ruben, and I had tons of salda and a whole grilled chicken breast along with cheese, hard boiled egg, beets and deliciious crutons. We will be coming back again and again as we live in the area. read more

They have the best rolls in town, and the apricot jam is amazing too. Really like the chef salad, and also the turkey dinner is pretty fantastic too. The pot roast is always a good choice as well. Good food and always friendly service. read more

It was pretty busy and they were short staffed, so it took a little longer than usual to get our food. I had one of the new burgers on the menu. It was pretty dang good and worth the wait. The staff was running their tails off trying to keep up. Great place, great food! read more

Excellent service, great food at a reasonable price, good 'feel' to the historic building. Friendly owner

Charming local cafe with incredibly nice waitstaff and terrific food. My 1st visit I enjoyed the cowboy bison burger with idleberry bread pudding. Wow! My 2nd visit I enjoyed the best homemade onion rings ever then the meatloaf special which was a generous serving but I had to take the delicious idleberry cream pie to go as there was no room left on my stomach. I can't wait to come back. The onion rings are huge and thick cut and made for sharing!!! I have traveled much of the world and I dub these "World's Greatest Onion Rings"!!!! read more

We love the Idle Isle and trying fun new items like the schnitzel and the Bavarian pretzel. I've decided the Cowboy Carson burger should always come with 2 napkins as it's that juicy and big. They also sang happy birthday to my granddaughter which made her night. They also have some great staples like beef stuffed rolls and yummy soups. Idle Berry pie is always a good choice for desert. You can't go wrong with home cooked food from Idle Isle. read more

Simply live the toffee crème candies! I was introduced to these by my step mother and have been ordering them on line since.

A very pleasant experience all around! The ambiance is warm, the food was great, and the servers were friendly. The French Dip was piled with delicious meat, the Philly Cheesesteak had great flavor and the berry pie was amazing - made with real berries. We had a lovely and interesting chat with the owners FIL and it was a great place between Ogden and Logan to stop in for a unique experience. This restaurant is definitely in our rotation when passing through the area moving forward. read more

Living and working in Brigham, we get the opportunity to reccomend restaurants and businesses to friends and family as they pass through. Unfortunately, Idle Isle has fallen off of our list of regular reccomendations. The service is kind, there is no doubt about that. They are the reason that 3 stars are given. The owners are.. interesting. The main qualm, and reason we have stopped reccomending Idle Isle though, is the food. The quality of food has seemingly gone down. Which is sad, because Idle Isle has been a longstanding Brigham City staple. read more

We stopped here for lunch while driving home to Phoenix. We had meatloaf, delicious. Good quality homecooked food, generous portions. Servers friendly and attentive. Save room for pie, it was excellent. I usually don't eat dinner rolls but theirs are so good so I ate the whole thing. Restaurant is over 100 years old in very old building. Quaint and nicely decorated. Highly recommend Idle Isle! read more

A local landmark with delicious entrees and amazing desserts. Old-timey feeling on Brigham City's Main Street. Definitely worth stopping by and treating yourself to the Pavlova or some fresh pie a la mode. read more

Awesome service, delicious food. I had the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. My husband had a dinner salad and a bowl of the daily soup (hamburger and macaroni). Enjoyed the soft rolls to start and also ordered fried pickles. Will definitely stop here again when I'm there area. read more

Idle Isle Cafe .... Superb !! The service was courteous and quick with a pleasant smile. The Chef recommendation included three selections but of course we both had to have the schnitzel. After being served an amazing soup (bean with shredded ham and my wife had Mexican taco soup) we had not even finished and there were the schnitzel .... Huge and oh so very tasty .... Thank you to everyone who made our meal so very enjoyable !! Thanx Owen read more

Located in the heart of Brigham City is this quaint cafe. The service was phenomenal. We were greeted with smiles and warm welcomes. The server and owner/manager were very kind and the manager thanked us sincerely multiple times for coming in. It was sweet and such a joy to see that gratitude in this hard time. I am grateful for them. The food was good. I got the salmon, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. I wished the vegetables were more than just peas and carrots, but the salmon was glistening and flaked right onto my fork. I highly enjoyed the soft and flaky salmon. I would go again and try something new. read more

Great lunch! Awesome hamburger macaroni soup, salad and rolls. The Rolls and apricot jam are the best! Good service, good food! read more

Food is ok. Wish they still had the salad bar. The desserts have been better in years past. But it's a cute place with lots of history

Good classy American Food. The oldest restaurant in town. The 1920's style diner. Has a menu that features many of the American comfort foods. read more

A pleasant surprise. My raspberry tea was delicious. The coconut creme on top is better than ice cream. The store itself is neat and well lit with seemingly not one thing out of place. Unlike the cafe down the street, I was greeted at the door and helped right away. Top notch spot. read more

grilled cheese was golden and crispy. delicious! mashed potatoes were also very nice and well seasoned. the wait wasn't long and the servers were very nice. one server even showed me the little history cabinet with the old menus. cute little area! read more

My family decided to give this place a second chance after a not great first experience. It's safe to say we will not be returning. We waited for our food for at least 30 minutes before they brought out my families meals. My meal never came and my husband was missing part of his meal. We were checked on multiple times and told it was coming soon. After 45 minutes the waitress told me they sold the last item that I ordered. They offered to get me something else, at this point I was hungry and tired of waiting. As we were leaving, the table next to us (who were seated after we ordered) were given the EXACT meal I was just told was sold out. Very disappointed in this establishment. read more

This was the first time here and I was excited since it had good reviews. Service was terrible our server took our order and she never came back. The food was bland and very lackluster we didn't enjoy it enough to finish it. We asked another server for a condiment she said she would get it, then just stayed at the main counter and just talked to the other server never bringing us what we asked for. We had to get our bill from the owner because our waitress was MIA and the other servers couldn't be bothered to help us. We won't be back. read more

Great service, great memories, great rolls! Will eat here again awesome home town cooking

Amazing food with large portions. Atmosphere was old time fun. Will eat here again very soon. People were amazingly kind. What a fun place.
