Garden Veggie Omelet Breakfast
Nicki P.

I came here for lunch during a work trip. We were promptly seated when we arrived. The menu selection has something for everyone. I selected a healthier meal - egg white veggie omelette with no cheese. It's nice they made healthy accommodations to fit my dietary needs. The ambiance is nice and warm inside and staff is friendly!

This place exceeded all expectations. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing. My friend ordered the Irish Bennie and he ate the whole plate. I had the pancakes with the blueberry compote. I was also able to get a side of lemon curd for the pancakes. It was a beautiful match. I recommend. The beignets were ok. They aren't as good as going to New Orleans, but they are mid tier. I recommend the pancakes and lemon curd on the side. One bad thing about the restaurant, is that the music is so loud. Other than that, loved the restaurant. Lots of windows, great food, great portions.

Love love love Moon's! It's not a trip to Moon's if you haven't gotten the beignets. With the honey butter is divine! I usually get the hobo Benedict and it never disappoints. Always great. We ventured into trying the country scramble and it impressed me with how delicious it was. Get it with the red potatoes. The staff is always sweet and energetic. Never had bad service. And always funny signs to read in the restaurant. Always great to come here.

Moon's Kitchen is hands-down one of the best breakfast spots around! The portions are huge (definitely come hungry). Everything we ordered tasted amazing, super fresh, and full of flavor. The the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the whole vibe of the place is cozy and friendly. Great service, great food, and great value. Can't wait to go back for another big breakfast at Moon's Kitchen

This place was one of the top rated breakfast spots in Boise so we decided to try it out. You may miss it because it is inside a mall type of building. As soon as I got on the 2nd floor where it is located, I saw many ppl waiting around. I assumed they were waiting for a table. Once we checked in with the host, she let us know it was a 20 minute wait. It was not bad so we waited. Once inside we were greeted by our server who was honestly one of the top servers ever. She took our orders and once our food arrived, she continued to check up on us all throughout. There were other people walking around with coffee refills too. Unfortunately I got too excited for my pancakes and did not take a picture but it was soo good! I actually got too full off from one pancake and took the 2nd home. The place was great honestly. Would definitely come back for breakfast when in town!

The entrance is across from this building and signage.

The most interesting thing about eating at Moon's is actually just finding the darn place. While it's address is on Main its main entrance equipped with escalators to the second floor are located off of the pedestrian plaza without a street number address to be found anywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with, considering how hard it was to find, that it was as busy as it was and with predominantly a younger crowd. Something about the decor really clicked with me and Becca who attended to my table was especially pleasant and very attentive. Another funny thing was the pollished concrete floor and how it interacted with the ball type castors on the bottom of the chairs. This combination made it especially easy for my chair to move around and glide away from the table when I applied any kind of pressure against the table. Kind of had to wedge my feet to the floor to keep me in place. Would you otherwise notice this; I doubt it. But I'm off that way. Fun place, good food, music not too loud....yes I would return, especially since I know how to find it now.

Great NEW downtown location, much more seating and easier parking via the parking deck. Fresh squeezed orange juice and of course the beignets are great too!

Came here for brunch with my mom on the Saturday before Mother's Day. We didn't realize it was also graduation weekend, so the area was bustling--but even with the crowds, we only waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated, which was a pleasant surprise. The service remained attentive and friendly, and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We both had the pistachio latte, which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet--definitely a highlight. I went with the classic eggs Benedict, which was spot on: perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and crispy hash browns on the side. We also shared a small order of the beignets, and they were fantastic--warm, fluffy, and generously dusted with powdered sugar. I really love their new location--it has a fresh, modern vibe with great views of downtown Boise. All in all, it was a fantastic brunch experience, and I'd definitely come back again.

Breakfast Burrito with breakfast potatoes on the side.

Great service and good food. Wait was a little long but the beignets made up for it. I would recommend to anyone looking for a solid downtown Boise breakfast option.

Huevos Rancheros with hash browns
David S. Y.

Short walk from The Grove Hotel, 2nd floor with escalators. Lots of foo foo coffee choices if that's your thing...clean, lots of seating.. I sat at the counter had an amazing huevos rancheros...huge portions, I added blackened chicken..besides an amazing meal, everyone was polite, friendly, and actually seemed to get along..just young people working and laughing..not one grumpy face in the place...$22 plus tip...

Fresh squeezed OJ can confirm!

See all

A Quirky, Heartfelt Breakfast Haven with Unbeatable Hospitality!…read more Egg Mann and Earl is an absolute gem. The decor is delightfully eccentric and quaint. Every wall features a fun mix of unique pictures, oddities, and diverse styles. It creates an energetic, fun, and visually engaging atmosphere the moment you walk in. The service here is next-level and full of personality. While waiting for my table, I watched the staff serenade a guest with an accordion for their birthday. They were singing to another table right after. It was incredibly cute and heartwarming. Once seated, I noticed a personalized sign with my name written on it at the table. That small, thoughtful touch immediately made me feel welcome. The culinary experience matches the fantastic ambiance: *Drinks: I started with a guava mimosa. It was perfectly balanced, crisp, and refreshing. *The John Denver Omelette: This dish features sausage, diced ham, onions, bell peppers, and pepper jack cheese. The blend of savory flavors and slight cheese kick was outstanding. *Surprise Treats: While waiting for my omelette, the staff brought out a complimentary scone. It arrived hot, fluffy, covered in powdered sugar, and completely delicious. *Past Visits: Their biscuits and gravy are excellent. They lean slightly on the sweet side but taste wonderful. On another trip, a helpful server recommended the Eggs Benedict since I had never tried it. While it ultimately proved a bit too heavy for my personal taste, it was prepared beautifully. The recommendation pushed me to be adventurous! *Sides: The bacon, hashbrowns, and roasted red potatoes are consistently seasoned to perfection and delicious. Before leaving, I noticed they even sell their own merchandise. They have branded hats and beanies available if you want to rep this local favorite. Between the top-tier hospitality, vibrant energy, and delicious food, I am definitely going back for more. Highly recommended!

The food is incredibly well seasoned and thoughtfully prepared, and I love that many of the dishes are uniquely served on cast iron plates -- it adds both character and keeps everything hot from first bite to last. The portions are no joke either. We ordered the Big Boy Omelette with their house potatoes and a BLT with fries, and both were outstanding. Everything was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and plated in a way that made it feel like more than just your average breakfast. At one point, I had to stop and ask another patron what they ordered because it completely filled their plate. It was the chicken-fried steak, and they told me it was cooked perfectly. I can eat -- but there is no way I could finish that chicken-fried steak by myself! The service was just as impressive as the food. Our server, Audrey, was on another level of fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, efficient, and genuinely made the experience better. Be prepared to wait -- it gets busy for a reason. The quality, portions, and service clearly draw a crowd, so plan ahead when going for breakfast. We will absolutely be back -- and we hope all the servers are like Audrey!

Everything is still the same service-wise, space, cleanliness. They still text if there's a long…read morewait, which is convenient, so you can wait in your car. We had a different server than our usual this time and she was fantastic. I wish I remembered her name to give her a shout out. I took away a star because the food wasn't as great as the last few times I visited. The eggs were overcooked (kind of dry and almost rubbery) and the hash browns were under cooked in the center. Now, if you've read my previous review, youd know how much i absolutely LOVE their pancakes - and I've made it my go-to spot for breakfast because of it. Well, either they changed the recipe or someone messed up this batch. It was nice and fluffy, but bland. That signature deliciously buttery flavor was nowhere to be found. I kept taking bites hoping my tongue was deceiving me... but there were no lies. Just disappointment. This is definitely a deal breaker. Maybe I'll try one more time. If it was just a one-time fluke, I'll update this review and stars. :::sigh:::

TEMPORARILY CLOSED AS OF 12/1/25 per letter posted on eatery door. See excerpts below…read more I was a big fan of this eatery under original owners but not so much since the current owners took over. So, I don't weep for their need to re-evaluate but realize fans will be disappointed. If you have gift cards you can use them at St. Lawrence Gridiron or Rustica, two other Boise downtown restaurants with the same owners. From the letter on door: "As many know, there has been a significant slowdown in consumer spending, especially in restaurants starting late 2024. We've done our very best to keep prices in line with what makes sense to cover costs and provide full benefits for our amazing staff," the letter said. "However, with sales down across all entities this year, we must re-evaluate our operations and make the necessary difficult decisions to be a sustainable business. Also, for the first time in many years, we recently lost two key people in our organization, and they both were a large part of what made Wild Root special. Last, we are heading into the slower, winter months. Instead of scrambling to keep the doors open, we are going to shut it down to evaluate everything."

It's street parking. There is outside seating but we sat inside…read more Decor inside is pretty with wooden tables and chairs. It's clean inside and outside. Service is very friendly. Food was good too. I thought I ordered Eggs Benedict but I was given two eggs without hollandaise sauce instead. I didn't complain. I still ate it and everything was delicious. Service was quick so I'll definitely give this place another try.

It's been over 20 years since I have eaten here. How crazy that time has truly flown by so fast…read more Moving to different states, new restaurants that have opened by us or the fact we live across town, just a couple reasons to why I haven't been in. But lucky for me, my husband and I were in the area so of course we had to make our way in for brunch. We showed up 45 minutes til close. There was about a 25 to 30 minute wait. We decided to tough it out and kick it. I did ask if we would still get served since we will be sat towards closing. They said yes so we waited. There would be a wait anywhere else so why leave. I just found it so kind that they would be willing to still take us with the restaurant closing soon. It was busy which makes me so happy. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a local business thrive. While hanging out, I was admiring the fun antiques that were decorated all over the restaurant. Talk about history and charm to this joint. Vintage cans, old cooking utensils, old school packages of Spam. There's so much history in this little venue. It's truly incredible to look at and appreciate. We were finally sat 20 minutes til closing. We got some coffee and apple juice started while we checked out the menu. After drinks were dropped off, we quickly ordered our food. My husband got chicken fried steak and I got the works omelet without the sausage. I believe they replaced it with extra ham. Food came out rather fast since we were the tail end of the day. And boy did everything look so good! My omelet looked massive. I was starving so I was so happy that it was big! The omelet was stuffed with green peppers, onions, ham, bacon and cheese. I also got a hearty side of hashbrowns. My husband got his country gravy that came with his country fried steak on the side for me. I was able to add it to my hashbrowns and omelet. Country gravy and hashbrowns is a top tier combination. And today's gravy and potatoes was money! My omelet was perfection. The onions and green peppers were nicely sautéed. There was a great amount of ham and bacon. The eggs were nicely cooked! Cheese that was in the middle was nice and melty. I ate the whole thing! Did I regret it later, yes but it was worth it! I finished half of my hashbrowns. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, these hashbrowns were fantastic! And the country gravy made them that much tastier. My husband enjoyed his breakfast. I most definitely enjoyed mine. Service was fabulous. Coffee was hot and always filled. Today's visit was truly fantastic. I heard that this joint is moving to Orchard. I look forward to coming and checking out the new venue. I know I won't be waiting another 20 years to come back. The food and the service was too good not to come back soon. I look forward to another omelet and one of their huge ass cinnamon rolls!
