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.

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.

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.

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.

Waffle and fruit breakfast special with a side of eggs and bacon

Judi B.

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.

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.

Great food good prices, but bring an appetite. Some of their servings are large. Homemade pies muffins, cinnamon rolls very tasty. This is a breakfast lunch venue very tasty.

Fantastic and LARGE pancakes. YUM YUM YUM

Way too expensive for the quality and amount of food. I don't know how you can mess up on a simple Spanish omelette, but they did it. The amount of(what seemed to be canned tomatoes with chiles inside the omelette was so runny that the omelette liquified. read more

Delicious food and great service! I'm not a breakfast person so i can only speak to their lunches, but their salads are fresh and ample, and their wraps are amazing. My favorite is the Buffalo Chicken wrap, not too spicy. And if you can't decide between the fries and the onion rings ask for the 50/50 split l- half of each! read more

It's almost impossible to get truly perfect poached eggs around here, yet I took a chance and ordered then. They arrived perfectly cooked...fresh and delicious. Our coffee cups were constantly kept filled. The pancakes were heavenly too. Oddly, I found the extra large high quality napkins to be a classy useful touch too. The servers were delightful and the decor is charming. It was spotlessly clean as well. Lovely experience! read more

Overall a solid diner. The service is great and the restaurant is clean. The portions are large. My only negative is that after 3 visits and asking for extra crispy hash browns and even sending them back... they are still white and anemic. So... order the fruit.

We tried Janet's on a weekday for breakfast. The decor is beautiful, clean, and inviting. The staff froendly and helpful. The menu was extensive, and I can't wait to get back to try other dishes. We had the Italian sausage omelet with hash browns and the breakfast burrito with sausage. I chose bacon and homefries in my burrito. The burrito was served with a side of bean, which I opted not to have. The side of salsa was perfect for the burrito. The burrito was tasty and filling. Plenty for leftovers. The omelet was cooked perfectly with diced sausage and tomatoes. Glad to have a new local breakfast place and look forward to our next visit. read more

This is a must go to restaurant in Eagle. My family and I went due to reading other views on this place. We all ordered different food from breakfast to lunch orders. All of the food fantastic and you could taste the homemade quality food and taste the love with each bit. Definitely our new favorite breakfast and lunch place. Dinner too if they were open. The food awesome, atmosphere welcoming, super clean and decorated right out of a magazine. The service and staff very welcoming and friendly and attentive. Thank you for opening another great restaurant in Eagle. You can taste the difference compared to other breakfast restaurants in the area. You can taste the high quality of food and ingredients! We wanted to try the pies because they looked amazing but so full. During the week at lunch they have a great deal with their special it comes with a free dessert. read more

OK, since the first thing we experience coming in the door is the ambience, I'll comment on that first. This is my first time in this restaurant that's been open approximately two months. As expected, it's exceptionally clean as everything is new, and the decor is relaxing and inviting. It's eclectic with a variety of signs and taxidermy items like an elk and what looks like a big trout or salmon, and some other stuff. It's quite whimsical and done well. The service was fantastic. The hostess at the front desk allowed us to sit anywhere we would like, a party of two, and there was a booth nearby so I began to make my way to that booth. She did point out, however, that the sun is exceptionally bright on one side, to which I acknowledged and found another location. I thanked her for the warning. She had a very pleasant personality. Food service was great and coffee refills came at regular intervals. The eggs were perfectly doneover easy. I asked for extra crispy hashbrowns and they were fairly crispy not extra crispy, but they were OK. The corned beef hash was from a can but very tasty. The server/hostess did comment before I ordered that the corned beef hash was from a can so there was no surprise there. I decided to order a side of gravy and OMG. The biscuit, which comes with the meal instead of toast, was the size of a Volkswagen, freshly made there, very dense. The gravy was not spectacular. It was literally a white gravy with pepper and not much flavor. I've had outstanding gravy at other nearby breakfast cafés and this did not compare in the least bit. Certainly not worth three dollars for half a cup of gravy side. There were plenty of condiments at the table too. Overall, the breakfast meal, corned beef hash and eggs over easy, did not stand out. The flavor was extremely mediocre with nothing special to write home about. I would've expected that the gravy, one of the best items to evaluate a breakfast eatery, would have something special to enhance the flavor, such as nutmeg or sage or something. Nothing. Extremely average and bland. So this simple corned, beef, hash and eggs with a side of gravy, and one coffee, was nearly $30 for one person. To be exact, it was $28.86. I have a family of five so this will not be a place that I will be bringing them for breakfast to the tune of $150 for a breakfast meal. I realize that our economy has declined and inflation is on the rise, but these prices are nearly double what you can find elsewhere for a much tastier meal. No, these other places might not be as clean, but they're still food safe and offer some outstanding food at a reasonable price. Overall, this café for me and my family is cost prohibitive at this time. I don't see myself returning as this seems to be a Café for the more economically advantaged people. At these prices, I don't see how this business is sustainable in this economy. The honeymoon period being what it is, usually 3 to 4 months, let's see how this goes. I wish the owner great success, and I will continue my pursuit for memorable breakfast eateries I can enjoy with my family. read more

My wife and I drove 45 minutes to get to Eagle to try out a restaurant we have not tried yet. When we arrived at Janet's there were a lot of cars and it was almost full inside. Good sign! The staff greeted us with a smile and assisted us to a seat immediately. The servers were busy, but someone else came up, greeted us at the table, provided menus and water, and took our drink order. Polite, attentive, and professional. Shortly after that, the waitress smiling and greeted us, took our order and answered all of our questions. As for service, it was an A+. The pricing of the food was a bit above average, but when it came out, the quantity and quality of the food fully justified the price and was a good value. Pricing, B, but value is A+. The food and recipes clearly were made with love! Everything was perfect! The freshness, and cooking were exceptional. Everything we ate was a clear step above average! Not just one item, but EVERY ITEM was stellar! While in all my years of eating out, I could not say it was the best in a single category, but a strong second place in every category! I have only had two restaurants in America that I could ever say that everything I ate was top notch! Not just the main dish. Food A across the board. Quality and quantity of food was impressive! Value? A+. The atmosphere was that of a busy diner, but good noise control, pleasant up to date furnishings that are well maintained. No sticky wet tables or dirty seats. Not overly fancy, but an upgrade on a cafe or a diner! A. I know of no restaurant in the valley that consistently rocks near perfect in every category! read more

That was my last muffin purchase. Albertson's gives the same size muffin for $1.49. Human Bean gives a big thick banana bread slice for $3.75 Come on Janet's... that is ridiculous.

We have eaten there at least half a dozen times. Food is good. Wait times just mean the place is popular, which is good. Prices are about right considering other options and with food costs going up. The one thing I have complaints about is that I have ordered toast with my breakfast meals and have yet to get the toast with my meal. It always comes late, like halfway through the meal, and yesterday it didn't come at all. Toast should come when the order comes out or the order isn't ready to go out yet. There seems to be a systemic problem with getting bread toasted and on a plate to go with a meal. I will have to begin with that each time I order again. read more

Eat here~it's a step above in culinary delights. Our server (Wyatt) did a five star job of working the hardest and smartest and fully pleasantly with the limitations of being short staffed, and with high demand/maintenance breakfast serving/ variables. All of our party ordered different dishes. Food was a solid 4 stars and potential for another. Omelettes were spot on with fresh ingredients and flavor, pumpkin pancakes were extra tasty, crispy hash browns hot and crunchy, (sides and condiments arriving well after due to log-jammed toasters and no additional staff to maintain). Asked the hostess to fill our coffees when she wasn't busy which she cheerfully did but didn't see her continue to other patrons.

This is primarily a breakfast restaurant. They do serve lunch but close at 2 pm. Breakfast means eggs. They can't cook eggs. I meet family here. The last four times ordering poached eggs and specifying in several ways NO RUNNY EGGS. They are barely cooked and served with the yold completely liquid. I ordered an omelet. This IS NOT an omelet. Neither was the "omelet" of the person with me. They are SCRAMBLES. Please do not call them omelets! Omelets are a staple in classic cooking and that is not what these are. Bacon used to be good. Now cold and hard. Hashbrowns are good. Sausage is good. read more

Recently went in, the atmosphere is cute. The hostess is very nice. And the fries are yummy. That is about all I can say about this place. I asked about the black bean burger ingredients, as I have food restrictions, and was told that they were too busy to look. I then told the server that I will take an order of fries then, and she looked at me like really... and then said that's all you are going to get. (I would have ordered a black bean burger too.... but.. you're too busy) My other half is in the industry, I get busy... but that restaurant wasn't so busy they couldn't look. Most of the tables that had people had food at it or they were wrapping up their meals. There were a couple empty tables. (I other half is in the food industry and I understand what busy looks like, this wasn't it) Also if you ask for anything other than ketchup for fries, as my coworker wanted ranch, it will inconvenience them... just ask and find out. Not a great start for a cafe that is too busy to help a paying customer. Customer service is everything.... Hopefully that improves. read more

Update: Even before we actually moved to the Treasure Valley, we have been coming to The Tavern. We…read morehave been here now for nearly two years, and we came here today, Friday, for an early dinner. It was not crowded, and we were seated right away. For some reason, we were seated in a corner booth near the bathrooms, while other customers were seated elsewhere in the restaurant. We didn't mind, however, because it was nice and quiet. And, for me, convenient. My wife had the Sirloin Salad, and I had the Ahi Poke Salad. My wife said that her meat was cooked the way she likes it, and the rest of the ingredients were delicious. For me, the ahi, sesame vinaigrette dressing, wonton strips, onions, and greens were very good. The food is always good at The Tavern. And, the prices are reasonable. Unlike our past experiences, the service this time around was not up to our usual. Our server, Hannah C., seemed in a rush and impatient. Though she told us to ask her if we had questions, I didn't find her responses to be pleasant. The first dish my wife was interested in had Boursin cheese. My wife had not heard of it, and she cannot eat a lot of cheese. She preferred something milder, like mozarella. When she inquired of Hannah, the reply was terse. "We don't have mozarella." "Do you have another milder cheese?" "Like what?" Not in a nice way, and not professional, in my opinion. And, she was loud. We waited longer than usual for our food, and when Hannah brought it, she just dropped the plates and split. To her credit, she did check in on us once during our meal. Now I don't know what kind of day Hannah was having. Maybe not so good. I don't know what kind of person she is, and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she is a nice woman. Hopefully she is not like how she was with us to all of her customers. I'm a 20% tipper. For her, it was 18%. I wasn't given a choice, but I would have gone down to 15%.

First visit: We ordered an omelet and pancakes--both were delicious and hit the spot. Since we liked it so much, we came back a second time. I got the breakfast burrito, which was delicious. My husband tried the Mr. Potato Head potato/omelet and loved every bite--he said it was hearty, well-seasoned. The only minor nitpick: The salsa that came with the burrito tasted a lot like store-bought Pace Picante. It was fine, but in a place with such great food overall, homemade authentic salsa would take it to the next level. All in all, a solid spot with good portions, welcoming vibes, and tasty breakfast options. We'll definitely be back--highly recommend! P.S. It was a bit too cold and we left our jackets on.

With the closure of Alien Cafe and the fact that The Griddle can easily turn into a 90-minute…read morecommitment on weekends, I figured it was finally time to try Potholder since I'm in this area all the time anyway. They really lean into the whole "bringing California brunch culture to Idaho" thing, so maybe my expectations were too high going in. But honestly... this was a pretty rough experience for me. I ordered the huevos rancheros because what feels more California brunch than that? When my plate came out, it looked weirdly plain and honestly kind of sad. Then my friend's huevos rancheros arrived and hers had all the toppings, sauces, avocado, etc. So apparently mine was missing half the dish. When I politely asked about it, I got a surprisingly snarky response that immediately made the whole thing uncomfortable. I really don't think I was rude about it at all. But the part that genuinely grossed me out was the mimosa tower situation. Two of the four glasses at our table literally had lipstick stains on them, and the others were cloudy/smudgy enough that we noticed immediately. That's the kind of thing you can't unsee once it's sitting at your table. I honestly don't really understand the hype because this place is constantly packed. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but between the mediocre food, awkward service interaction, and dirty glassware, I don't think I'll be back. I'd personally rather wait for a table at The Griddle or have a calmer breakfast at Rembrandt's instead.

The thing that jumped out at me was the photo of the burger, now call me crazy but I think at this point I can look at a menu, photos of food and then the reviews to guide me. Yelp hasn't failed me yet! The first thing was walking in the door there were two hostess who smiled and greeted me. We were seated at the bar since there were just two of us. I ordered the Crave burger with bacon and my guest ordered the house salad with tortilla soup. Everything was excellent! The burger was juicy, flavorful, the bacon was perfectly crispy, Smokey and the white cheddar cheese was the perfect compliment! Now let's talk about the bun, I typically don't eat burger buns but this one was the exception to the rule. It was homemade obviously, buttery, light, and toasted to perfection. I ate both of them! Hahahaha! I felt so dirty typing that the French fries were crispy, just the right amount of salty and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. My guest agrees with everything in this review. The house salad was fresh, the vinaigrette was homemade and delicious and the tortilla soup was even great! The ambience was a place you could have a business meeting or take your significant other on a date night. There is literally something for everyone on their crave-able menu ( see what I did there?) Our server who was the bartender kept our glasses full and made sure he checked on us often. I found my new burger spot in Eagle, Idaho?!?! Five stars.

This place was amazing. So hard to find a good homemade fair priced breakfast/lunch place anymore. Good decor, great service, and atmosphere. This place is going to go far once everyone finds out about it. Partner got a peach caramel Belgian waffle (wasn't on the menu but were kind enough to make it from a special they had another day). I had the pork chops which were perfectly done, and nice fluffy pancakes. We decided to take home dessert. The brownie is the size of the to go box.

I had breakfast at Janet's Cafe this morning, and it's now dinner time, and I'm still full! I ordered the pecan waffles with bananas and caramel, which were absolutely worth the add-on - so delicious! I also added a side of scrambled eggs and a sausage patty, making for a perfect, hearty meal. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and everything felt clean and well-kept.

This place is very very California expensive. Nothing in Idaho should ever be that expensive. We've completely turned into California if that's the case. No surprise it's Californians that own it. Don't come into Idaho and take advantage of people and price gouge. Not everybody can nor wants to pay California prices in Idaho. Good thing they won't last at those prices, their days are numbered. I'd take the Griddle any day... read more
