I love the new location of Moon's Kitchen! The view is wonderful. Most of the people in our party for breakfast could find something on the menu they loved but I had trouble because I'm a light eater. I wish Moon's would add a few lighter choices to the menu like steel-cut oats or a side order choice menu. read more

Food was ok huge portions very pleasant staff and the interior is fun a nice spot for breakfast lunch in the middle of downtown.

My go to breakfast spot in downtown Boise. Open seating. I've only had to wait for a spot once in all the times I've been. If you are only 1 or 2 in a group, you can usually find a spot at the bar. The service has always been excellent. If you go on a week day, it isn't usually that busy. Weekends can definitely get busy. The food is standard breakfast/diner fare and lunch options. (They have milkshakes but IMO they are really over priced. $7.00 for a lg milkshake ). My go to is the simple 2 eggs combo. You can sub a pancake for your toast. I've found this is one of the places that can actually get over medium eggs correct. The red potatoes are really good. Seriously, get them instead of the hashbrowns. read more

Stopped by to just try their beignets and get a coffee. The service was great, and there was available seating when my wife and I arrived. Once we browsed the menu we decided get the Blackened Chicken Omelet along with the beignets. Wow, the beignets were fantastic. And the omelet was thick. Nice portion. Also, loved the way they do their potatoes. The food was wonderful and our server was great. read more

Fun ambience and friendly service! The veggie omelette was great!!

Service here has always been phenomenal as well as the food. I have a gluten, dairy and nut allergy, and they have always been accommodating (without losing flavor or portion size). Fresh food, amazing coffee and wonderful atmosphere! Don't miss this gem! read more

Crowded space, hidden behind construction. The wait for a table can be very long, but the food is worth the wait. The menu items are unique, making it difficult for me to choose just one thing. That's a compliment! They lost a star for not automatically bringing around coffee. The wait person came around once in a while asking if we wanted anything. Then we had to wait longer for her to bring the coffee. My fav breakfast places keep the coffee coming! read more

Outstanding breakfast restaurant. Wonderful brunch menu. Don't forget to try the beignets. Hash browns are great. read more

Anyone who grew up in Boise over the past six decades has heard of Moon's. It began in the back of the sporting goods store run by Cid and Bernie Moon around the corner on Bannock Street from the current location in the Union Block. I ordered a chicken fried steak, which came with red potato hashbrowns, eggs, sourdough toast and homemade strawberry preserves. The steak was a good size and was tasty. I would have hoped for more flavor from the gravy. It was a little bland. Both the eggs and the hashbrowns were good. The bread seemed better than store-bought and the preserves were also very good. Despite coming in a few minutes after they opened at 6:30 on a Saturday morning, the waitress was super friendly and attentive to myself and a man and his grandson at another table and a man at the bar drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. On-street parking is not available on Idaho Street. However, there is a city parking lot across the street with free one-hour parking. All in all, the current owners have done a good job of maintaining the standards of Cid and Bernie Moon. read more

Came in from out of town, had lots of recommendations, and was worth the trip! Pancakes were delicious, milkshakes to die for, and overall a great experience. Service was very fast and the staff was very respectful. Definitely recommend this place for your next trip to Boise! read more

20 minutes walk from my hotel, in town for business. Becca was our waitress, college student, with a great attitude. I had the chorizo omelette, but we started with fresh homemade Beignets. Awesome! Really nice atmosphere, good food at a reasonable price. Will definitely come back. read more

Have been here several times, the food, the service are amazing. The staff is so friendly and attentive. One of the best breakfasts places I've ever been to - does not disappoint! read more

Awesome breakfast! The portion sizes are huge! My sister and I would have spilt a plate if we knew. Upwards of $20/plate which is a little crazy for bfast at a diner for me. read more

This was such a cute spot to eat, its in Boise downtown. I was planning on eating breakfast but the buffalo chicken wrap changed my mind and I ended up ordering that. It came with fries and the portion was a good size. The chicken inside the wrap was very flavorful! The customer service was a bit slow even though they weren't that busy but thats my only complain. Other than that the place had good food!! Also it is a bit pricey. read more

I cannot believe we took no pictures. We were so taken with the food and the service, we didn't even think to take any. The blueberry pancakes were the fluffiest, best tasting ever. The homemade jams were so great we took some to go. The omelettes were so big and tasty, even though we overate because they were delicious, we had to take leftovers in a to go box that was enough for 3 more meals. And cannot end review without mentioning our server Christi. She was so efficient and personable it was like she was a longtime friend. A memorable experience you shouldn't miss, and esp when you take into account the real fresh squeezed Orange and grapefruit juices and the fun decor. Am experience you won't want to miss. read more

So, because moons was forced out of its location for safety reasons on that block, we thought we would track them down and go support them. Turns out their new location is a permanent one, and it is gorgeous. The food was still excellent the service outstanding and the atmosphere, wonderful. Don't hesitate to go see for yourself. And if Justyce is your server, she can make you the best cinnamon honey latte you've ever had in your life. read more

They are open for indoor dining and Monday is milkshake Monday with great options!!!! Yum yum The fresh squeezed oj is very good too. read more

Moon's was off my radar for a while but not anymore! I first tried Moon's about 18 months ago and it's on my regular breakfast spot rotation now! Today I tried out the Monte Cristo and it was really good! The raspberry compote was absolutely delicious and made the dish! My friend got the corned beef hash and that was also very good! The service and decor make this place something out of the ordinary and I always love coming here. read more

This looks like a wonderful place for a big, satisfying breakfast. We met for a business meeting. My colleagues ordered fresh squeezed orange juice. They also can do grapefruit too. Every item on the menu looked fantastic and I watched as the awesome server bringing breakfast by our table. I ended up asking if they could just make an egg/cheese sandwich...not on the menu...but I didn't want anything that heavy. She accommodated!! read more

Delish! I loved our server, remedied me of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Super friendly and great service.

This place is great. There house bread with honey butter is delicious. Nice restaurant, good vibe and waitresses were great

Unless your getting a milkshake there is 100% no reason to come here. The food tasted like it was fresh out the freezer. Food was offered as a "side" by the waiter but there was no implication it was extra money read more

Lunch is served in the morning too. Plenty of shrimp and avocado in the salad. Friendly staff. Fun retro decor. Good ambiance. Not fussy, just good food! read more

One of the best restaurants downtown. Amazing place if you are looking for a solid breakfast.

What a cool little cafe/diner in the downtown area of Boise! I totally just stumbled on this place after my previous breakfast plans fell through. I felt really torn about my rating of this restaurant. Mainly because the service was so EXCELLENT! I was so pleased with the attention and care I received from the moment I stepped foot into the place. I was greeted multiple times and was continually checked on during my meal. The service was 5 star service. The food though is average to good. I enjoyed my meal, but it didn't blow me away by any means, but I did enjoy it. My biggest gripe is that my omelette came with a big piece of kraft singles on top. I didn't like that. So... 5 star service, 3 star food, 4 star average. read more

Moon's Kitchen Cafe - The monster omelette! It comes with 5 eggs! But I asked for 3 instead. I wouldn't have been able to eat a 5 egg omelette. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Rather disappointing in my opinion. Let's start with the good. Atmosphere is very nice. It's a local diner feel... most tables were full but there was open seats at the counter so took on. Usually the best service. Menu had lots to choose from so I ordered a coffee and the smoked salmon omelette. Coffee was hot and tasty. Thinks went down hill after that. It's been a long time since I worked in a restaurant but when the water glass and the coffee cup are empty, any of staff walking behind the bar should refill it. I asked one and she said "I'll get your waitress". Really??? Omelette came out with fried potatoes. I started on one end. It was very good with a fair amount of salmon inside. Unfortunately only the end I started on was cooked. About 1/2 way thru, the eggs were uncooked in the middle. When I was able to flag down the waitress, her reply was "that's really odd" and walked on by. At least she brought coffee when she came back. She brought the bill a few minutes later and said she had given me a discount because my food wasn't cooked. 10% off for not being able to eat half my food and she acted like she was doing me a favor. I know it was busy with Treefort in town, but I doubt I'll give them another chance read more

Best beignets and Ruben sandwich ever! Staff are super sweet. You feel like family when you walk in. Definitely recommend if you are in the Boise area. read more

Where else do you get a milkshake for breakfast? This is one of Boise's longest running, reliable, delicious cafe/diner. I say "diner" for East Coast people who often complain that we don't have a good diner in Boise but I digress. The food is great. The staff are friendly and genuine. Highly recommend. read more

I always enjoy finding a 50s style diner in the cities I visit. And Moon's Kitchen Cafe was perfect. There is a counter to sit at, which I always think is the best seat in the house. I loved all the decorations and retro style. I ordered the John Wayne Breakfast, which included two eggs two, two pieces of bacon, choice of potatoes, and a half order of biscuits and gravy. The food came out quick and, let me tell you, that this was the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had! Seriously, amazing! The only downside was that I filled up on the generous portions and didn't have any room left for one of their world famous milkshakes. Oh well, next time!!! read more

I would like to give this place a better review, but the only thing going for it was the waitress and location. First off, way over priced for Boise; sorry, the foods not that good. $13.95 for French Toast, really? I had half an order of biscuits and gravy with a regular coffee, I spent over $15 with a tip, crazy! Second, the food just isn't very good, sorry... The biscuit was okay, but not traditional. The gravy was very starchy, with a raw flour flavor from being under cooked. There was almost no sausage in the "Sausage Gravy", just slightly lumpy flour and milk. Also very bland in flavor, it definitely needed something? The service was the best part, so I did tip well, but I won't be back. read more

Our favorite breakfast place, made even better in particular by Grace, our server who epitomizes hospitality. Every time we're here, she makes us feel like VIPs, no matter how busy it is, even if we're not in her section. Our last visit was during Tour De Fat which was absolute madness. But the moment we walked in, there Grace was with a smile to brighten up any day. Now that I'm done gushing, on to the food. I only eat Moon Babies. They're tart, sweet and addictive. I tried looking at other things, but the Babies just call to me. My husband however is in love with the burger and sweet potato fries. The former is a juicy perfection, complemented by the latter. He's extremely picky and yet to find an equal anywhere else. read more

I ordered a classic BLT add AVO and cheddar on sourdough and oh my god! It was amazing. They had no problems tweaking it for me and made it taste delicious! The waitresses all talked to us and stopped and said hi even though they weren't the ones waiting on us. The food came fast even though it was busy and tasted fresh and flavorful. The entire establishment was well organized and very clean. Its an amazing spot to stop and experience boise right in the heart of downtown. read more

Cute restaurant in downtown Boise, with excellent home style breakfast and great service. I had the moon babies ( like a combination between a rolled pancake and a crepe filled with whip cream and dusted with powdered sugar and a homemade raspberry sauce. They serve you 3 of them...very filling ( I could only finish 2); my boyfriend had the 2 eggs breakfast with bacon and fresh made ( using Russet potatoes) hash browns...skins were still on the potato! Toast was buttered and served with their own homemade strawberry jam... very yummy!!!! Our server was friendly and kept our coffee cups filled. If I'm ever in Boise again, this is definitely a place to return---referred by Joel( our Uber driver) read more

Moons is a staple to Boise's downtown. Their milkshakes are made from scratch like a 50s dinner. This visit was disappointing. The service was spotty and our food arrived COLD after a 30+ minute wait. Sad to see an icon slip.... read more

Been here quite a few times over the years. Service is the only thing that is inconsistent. Obviously being at a downtown location it can and will get packed on the weekends, so slow service is understandable. I highly recommend the chicken fried steak and the monte cristo. Best I've ever had! Holy hell! read more
