The food was good, the service was great and the ambiance was decent. This is not my favorite restaurant but it's ok for a change of pace. The menu offers many options. read more

I must say Janet's Cafe has the best sausage gravy I have ever had in any restaurant. i always order a side of gravy with breakfast, just to try it, and I am usually disappointed. But this week, I found the one I've been looking for. Good job Janet's! Don't ever change your gravy recipe!!` read more

Came here with my husband for breakfast because a friend recommended it. We were not disappointed. We've been back twice. The service was great and staff friendly. The food was very good. We've had the Machaca, Mediterranean omelette, pork chops, French toast and pancakes. Will definitely be back. read more

Came here for a mother/daughter date with our friends as well, and came shortly before closing, which we didn't mean to, but they were so accommodating and friendly, and seated us right away. The place itself is super cute, and they have tons of seating but they were super busy the entire time. The food was fresh, delicious and had generous portions. We really enjoyed everything we had, and felt the service was great as well. If you're looking for a great little breakfast/lunch spot, look no further, and we say the pancakes or Belgium waffle with strawberries are a must try. read more

Great breakfast options! Waffles and French toast were terrific. Service was fantastic and quick. The place is clean and has a great breakfast vibe. read more

We keep going back here and one thing my daughter informed was they don't use seed oils which is very important. We went there again on Sunday, and this time I had the Pork Chops and eggs, and it was incredible. I really like this place and I am glad to give them our business. The pork chops were excellent and not small. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

We had breakfast at Janet's Cafe and overall had a good experience! We ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy, the kids Belgian strawberry waffle, and the breakfast special with mixed berry crepes, eggs, and bacon. The standout for me was definitely the mixed berry crepes. They were really good with plenty of fresh berries and were my favorite thing we ordered. The biscuits and gravy also had a really flavorful gravy, and even the half order was a huge portion. The kids waffle was also much bigger than expected and came loaded with strawberries and whipped cream. The prices were a little higher than I'd typically expect for breakfast most entrees were around $17+, the special was around $18, and kids meals were about $10. That said, the portion sizes are very generous, so you definitely aren't leaving hungry. The food was good and the portions were excellent, everything came out fresh and fast . While it wasn't the absolute best breakfast I've ever had, it was a solid meal with great serving sizes. If you're looking for hearty portions and homemade -style breakfast, Janet's Cafe is worth trying. read more

Grabbed brunch here with my sister, and we were very pleased with our visit! The atmosphere is laid back, a cozy suburban breakfast joint. Nothing too fancy, but not dive-y either. Our waitress was friendly and kept our coffee mugs full. The menu had lots of good breakfast and lunch options whether you're in the mood for sweet or savory, classic or creative. We ended up splitting two entrees -- a Greek omelette and cinnamon roll French toast. Servings were huge! the omelette came with a muffin, which we had to take home, but we were able to power through and eat the rest. Definitely a good place to keep in mind for a nice breakfast! read more

Great food and service. Good variety of sweet & savory style breakfast. You will be sure to find something you like. Inside only seating so not pet friendly read more

This is our third time here at Janet's and my first time for lunch. I was not disappointed!! First and foremost the staff is always so very friendly and our server, Nicolette, was superb. As for the food? Delicious. My wife got the Swiss burger with onion rings and I got the turkey club with potato salad. The burger was thick and juicy and the club was packed sky high with turkey and ham. And we both really enjoyed the peach iced tea read more

When Janet's opened we were there frequently. Great good. Great family run staff. We loved it. The last time we went it was different staff and not friendly. My eggs came out watery and soaking in butter. I had to send them back for being undercooked. The server sold us on a cranberry muffin. He failed to mention it was loaded with nuts and my daughter who is allergic almost ate a piece. We've never been back. Well my mom went yesterday and ordered the 2 egg breakfast scrambled with cheese. The 1 egg arrived looking like a small crepe and not a scrambled egg and no cheese. The blueberry muffins which used to be DELICIOUS arrived with only 4 blueberries and she said it was not the original blueberry muffins which Janet's was famous for and instead tasted worse than store bought. She wears she will never go back. I hope the family that owns it reads this because that place used to be a hidden gem and now it just needs to be hidden. read more

When I see a quaint cafe that does high volume, and only open for breakfast and lunch, you know they are doing something right. Met up here with a group of 15 women from our women's group on a Tuesday morning at 11:30am. We called weeks in advance to ask if they could accommodate a group of this size giving them the day of the week and proposed time of day and they said they could. A week before, we called again to remind them we were coming next week thinking this reminder would assure proper staffing. It appeared it did not. Called the day before to give a final headcount of 15. When we arrived and checked in, the hostess seemed to have some tables in mind along the far wall, as the restaurant isn't huge, but the wall length banquette and tables were filled by patrons, so we had to wait. A party of six got up to leave, so we were able to push two tables together to get our seating started, and as ladies continued to arrive the other tables eventually opened up, but there was some awkward squished seating until they did. Our server was friendly although she seemed a bit flustered getting ready to take on this large group. I didn't catch her name. She brought us waters and gave us time to look at the menu, but honestly she needed to attend to her other tables and eventually close them out before she ever took our order, so there was some waiting and we were hungry. Once she took our 15 orders, there was some more waiting, drinks needed refilling, some were refilled others forgotten altogether. I forget specifically what I asked or said to her, but she replied with "oh, I haven't even put your food orders in yet"! WHAT?!! Here's where Janet's Cafe showed some breakdown. Our one server needed some support, and although every staff member was working in their capacities, it seems there could have/should have been a more efficient way to handle service. So what typically happens once the food is brought out to the table, you have the "can I get a side of ranch, we need extra napkins, I'm missing silverware, or I ordered onion rings and was given fries" scenarios, right? Our server should have stopped, got out her pad and went down the entire table noting what was needed or missing instead of trying to remember. She did not, so some things were remedied and some had to be asked for again or many times only flustering her more. When you have a group and the food does not come out all together by multiple servers, we tell them "go ahead and start eating while it's still hot", as the food comes out in handfuls. In this case, the first person served was just about done eating her meal by the time the last lady got her meal delivered to the table. The Food: The food was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food quality, freshness and portions were top notch. Everything from a traditional egg breakfast to the Daily Special, French dip sandwiches, Club sandwich, soup and salads, and sides (the onion rings were awesome) everything was delicious! I also know Janet herself was cooking that day. As mentioned by other reviewers, menu prices are a tad high, but as also mentioned by others, what isn't these days? Many of us took home leftovers, so count that as part of it. Overall, this is a great place to eat! It seems there are many happy patrons, and I am now certainly one of them and won't hesitate to go back again. I hope my feedback was helpful for both you the reader and the restaurant owners/staff. I'm including photos of the current menu prices and a couple food items. read more

Most everything is excellent and portions are huge. II highly recommend the carrot cake.

Great food, lots of choices and friendly staff! It can be busy so come with some patience

Came in for lunch. We had quite the wait which was okay but the establishment really smelled like strong cleaning products. Not appetizing at all. This is not my type of restaurant. If you're into big portions over quality then this is your spot. Maybe breakfast is better but I wasn't a fan of their lunch. Service was friendly but I don't think I'd visit again. read more

Delicious food, great menu, friendly service. Bakery items are amazing. Will return. Highly recommend.

Another great visit today at Janet's. Decided to sit at the bar today so we didn't have to wait for a table. Keller, our server came and grabbed our drinks while we were looking over the menu. It was my daughter's first time there so she needed a minute to look over the menu. He was nice and didn't rush us. Orders were finally taken and we enjoyed the scene while our food was being prepared. Today I ordered the chicken fried steak. Of course I had to get the country potatoes again. The country potatoes were nice and chunky! They were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love dipping them on the country gravy. The country fried steak was crispy on the outside and so savory in the middle. It was topped with a good amount of the country gravy. My eggs were cooked perfectly! My toast could have used another round of toasting but it was still tasty cause of the butter they slapped on it! It was such a hearty meal I was only able to eat half of it. This place is buzzin no matter the hour. Clearly they have a good crowd for lunch besides just breakfast. I can see why! The staff is always friendly and the venue is so comfy and welcoming. This place has put other joints in the valley on alert. From the food to the staff, this place is what other local joints should model after. And shout out to Keller for our amazing service! Service like today's makes eating out nice. It's refreshing to have good service! Now a days good service feels like a rare occasion. read more

This restaurant was good when it first opened but I would not recommend it now. The last couple of times have been bad from the service to the food. Prices are high but more importantly the food is sub par. Wilted lettuce on the salads and the breakfasts are not special in any way. Safe yourself some money and find another place to eat. read more

Great food with large portions. Always had a great time at Janet's. Their desserts are great as well.

Opened July'ish 2024 (in space that was once Dickie's BBQ) by owners who have these Janet's breakfast and lunch cafe(s) in San Diego with this being their first in Idaho.   We had high expectations going in for breakfast based on early Yelp reviews. Although it is nearer our home than alternatives it is unlikely we'll be back soon based on 3-star food experience with that meal.  The 4th star is for friendly people, sparkling clean space and a broad menu of options so maybe lunch will work better. A handwritten sign in the window indicates they are hiring for positions from cook through server so this suggests there may be some hiccups (there were) to be patient about (we were and the server thanked us for same before we left) as they get into their groove.   VIBE:  Blue booths, some tables and chairs, rustic finishes, light and bright from front windows that face the parking lot.  Sparkling clean in the way that says pride of ownership.  No TVs.  Yahoo!  If there was music on the sound system, I don't remember it being there and that is a good thing because it means it wasn't intruding on our conversation. Yahoo times two!  SERVICE:  Greeted as we entered.   They weren't too busy at  mid-morning on a week day and while our server arrived promptly to introduce himself and offer us coffee, it was a long wait until he returned to take our breakfast order.  No worries, we were enjoying time together.   In the meantime, we noticed our server was also taking walk-in coffee drink to go orders at the host stand since no one was there.  (That's a process they probably need to work on so table servers don't have to do that.)  When he was able to get back to us to take our order, we had a couple of questions about the menu. Some he could answer, others not but volunteered to get the information leading to more delay.  New place, new servers and that's not unexpected.   Once the order was taken, it arrived from the kitchen much more quickly than we expected it would.   FOOD:  Our experience was huge portions of bland food. I ordered eggs over hard, one of them had a runny yolk which means I couldn't eat it, crispy bacon and it was but also room temp'ish as if cooked and held.  For the go-with options I chose hash browns, a very large portion was on the plate and cooked through but no flavor (even salt in the kitchen would have helped), and what was listed as buttermilk biscuit that I was told was house made.  I have no doubt that the giant thing that arrived was baked on site, but it was dense in a way that didn't match my expectations for flakey buttermilk biscuit.  Noting the runny yolked egg didn't match my order, the server offered to have the kitchen cook another one.  No worries, I said, too late now but as feedback for the kitchen, over hard means hard yolks.   The dish was $16.50. My hubby's short stack of pancakes ($11) was two huge pancakes which he said were fine to be tender but he ate only one given size.  Real maple syrup is not available to order and the pancake syrup provided in a small ramekin had little maple flavor. Although a nice woman who came by our table told him it was "more than 50% maple" and she said she would "check the can" to see what else was in it, he told her no worries because knew enough at that point.  He said he would happily pay an upcharge for the real thing, as offered that way by some others, if they had it. The server said several customers had made that suggestion. It is not that the food is bad because there are a lot of chain eateries that would deliver similar things.  But huge portions of these kinds of things are not our thing.  Different strokes for different taste buds. Then we get to the blackberry pie, of which we ordered a slice ($6.50) to go.  It was not good. They may be putting pie filling into a crust in the kitchen but when we ate the pie that night, a huge slice easily divided in two, there were maybe 5 whole blackberries in the entire thing among a thick dark purple, seeming cornstarch thickened glob that suggests filling taken from a can.  Not that there's anything wrong with that as chains do it but it is not what we expected when we asked on the way in if the pies were house made and the hostess said they were.  PARKING: Private lot in this sort of stripmall'ish location. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA parking is near the door but the strip mall owner has let the blue paint marking it as such erode from the spots and has not put the required signage on the building so it isn't evident. All on one floor inside and ample floor space throughout. A few tables that would work for customers using wheelchairs. I didn't check the loo but one assumes given this was built for first occupancy post 1993 (when ADA rules and ID Accessibility code both apply) they are accessible. read more

Food: we ordered a bit of everything and the best overall part was the pancakes. OMG! 10/10. Service: fast, attentive and knowledgeable servers (as this was our first time). Ambiance: modern cabin vibes. Such a cute spot. Worth coming and trying it out. Ample areas to sit and also ample space to sit and wait if needed. read more

Greeted by friendly staff, great waitress and excellent food. Iced tea also tasted great. Place is very clean. Had a Turkey club and it was huge, the potato salad was excellent. Others enjoyed their omelette with potatoes and a bacon cheeseburger with fries. read more

Food was good but when all was said and done paying $22 for a tuna melt on sourdough seemed high to me. Fruit on the side was fresh and a nice variety. Just hard to want to go back and pay that price. read more

We arrived for lunch at 11:30 on a Sunday...bad idea. Place was packed and it took 40 minutes to be seated for a party of 4. The entry door needs to have the pneumatics fixed...it was not fun to sit there hearing it slam repeatedly. We were seated and unfortunately had to watch a party of 13 that arrived after us be seated first. This led to 16 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at the booth. We watched as 4 other parties seated after us received service before us as well. Not a good start. Once we were able to receive service, it was relatively quick and friendly, with prompt drink refills (except for coffee-those were infrequent). I ordered the Country bacon and cheese omelet special which comes with 2 sides-ordered home fries and sourdough toast. Received the omelet and hash browns which was incorrect. Since it had already been almost 45 minutes since we sat down I just settled. The hash browns were woefully undercooked and with the omelet and gravy, the plate was a mushy, yet delicious, pile of goo (the gravy saved it). The sourdough was perfectly toasted and was slathered with butter-fantastic. Hubby loved his open-faced hot turkey sandwich. Friends had the waffle and fruit and were very happy with their order. They are obviously understaffed for the demand, so hopefully once people are hired, trained and there's better table turn-over in place, I believe this place will be exceptional. The food was actually quite good, a tad on the expensive side ($90 for 4 people?!), but would try again....a few months down the road. read more

Good food pleasant wait staff plus large portions. A winning combination in my opinion..

This is a great neighborhood eatery. The menu features a wide selection of breakfast and lunch options, including omelettes, country breakfasts, and dishes with a south-of-the-border flair. Breakfast is served all hours (but they close at 2), allowing folks to indulge in their morning favorites at any time (to 2pm). The commitment to quality is evident in every dish, with many recipes passed down through generations, ensuring a homestyle dining experience that is both comforting and tasty. read more

I had high hopes after a great past visit but this trip was very disappointing -- bland, poorly prepared breakfast (biscuits inedible), and an unexpectedly high $50 bill for two 'middle range cost' meals; won't be returning.

Seated right away, cute and clean with nice staff. Went for brunch time on a weekday. Out of no where decided on a Mexican dish. It was surprisingly flavorful. To my taste refried beans needed a little salt, the Spanish rice was more Tex Mex kind of a taco seasoning flavoring with diced peppers. The two tacos had shredded beef, which was very flavorful and moist very good. The shells were a bit chewy for me but overall, I'd give it a seven out of 10 I'm Hispanic and I cook Mexican food that has been passed down from generations of Sonoran style, so I'm a bit picky. Overall great experience. read more

Yay finally! We've been told this place is fantastic by numerous people and they were correct! It's really cozy and rustic inside which I loved. I had the spinach omelette with home fries, husband had the machaca- both were delicious! Also shared biscuits and gravy. Yum! Portions are huge so you definitely get some to go! Frankie was our server and she was on top of everything and an absolute delight. We can't wait to come back! read more

A friend recommended Janet's Cafe so we came for brunch today. It's located in the shopping center opposite the entrance on the 44 to Eagle Island park. Seems popular; we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. They have booths but we were seated at a table near the counter. It has a bright, cheerful decor. My wife had the chicken tacos and liked them. I had the Italian sausage and cheese omelet, home potatoes, and pancakes. The omelet was good. The potatoes were not browned or crispy and I didn't enjoy them. Likewise the pancakes, which I found dense and tough, not light and fluffy. Our young female server was very nice and took good care of us. We will definitely come back and try something different. read more

We have been back 5 times in the few weeks and everything is absolutely on par and delicious. The service from Stacy and Sean has been fantastic even on really busy days. I absolutely love the decor of the restaurant as it's great breakfast and lunch go to. read more

Drove down here for "breakfast for lunch" on my way to Caldwell for HS basketball tournaments a few weeks ago. The servers were nice and I ordered french toast, eggs, and a sausage patty. For the prices, they give you a LOT of food, way more than a chain restaurant. I was ticked off at IHOP and their pancakes that keep shrinking in size and keep rising in price. Janet's Cafe isn't doing that. Very popular with locals and seniors. Keep in mind of surcharges. Probably egg shortage-related. read more
