    Beignets
    Ronnie T.

    This place is so cute inside love the old school diner vibes. I love beignet's I argue these are right up there with Disneyland's so good and we had a great server Ayezaya he was so nice and accommodating with my modifications. Cali beni was delicious!

    Breakfast Country Scramble Breakfast
    Amy A.

    I hadn't been there since they moved out of the old location where the soda fountain was. Lots of great brunch options. Vegan options too if that's your thing. the servings are very generous! We were greeted promptly and seated by the window, that overlooked eighth Street. A couple of things to note is they do not validate for parking and parking in the garage is pretty much the only option. I think it was an exception, but after our waiter took our order we did not see him again. My omelette came out almost cold. We had to ask someone for boxes and our check . Hopefully this is not the norm. The prices are on the higher side but it is downtown. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for breakfast locations.

    Mexi Beni Breakfast

    This bustling place never disappoints with their service and meals! The staff is always super friendly and the restaurant is always clean. It's a little loud but enjoyable. I always order the mexi beni. Benedict's are my favorite brunch dish and this place by far has THE BEST from here to Cali. I've had so many Benedict's from soooo many places and this one takes the cake! Also the beignets are a must try!! They are always hot and fresh!

    It's been months since my husband and I have been to Moon's. We were downtown for doctors appointments so it was only right to have a meal here. It has felt like forever since we have had one of their beignets. It was a great day to have one. We noticed that they updated their menu and we were excited to try something new. My husband got the Loaded B and G. It was right up his alley! Biscuits and gravy loaded with onions, green peppers, green onions, cheese and bacon. My husband did omit the veggies but what he got looked so good! I got the Country Scramble. Scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, cheese, veggies, country gravy smothered all over potatoes. Both plates were massive! My country scramble was so good! I swear country gravy on anything is so tasty. The potatoes were soft and savory. Plenty of eggs, meats and cheese on top. I only finished a third of my plate. It's enough to share! My husband's biscuits were smothered and covered. The biscuits were soft and paired perfectly with the gravy. We ended up taking half a biscuit home and I look forward to tearing it up tomorrow for breakfast. Moon's has and will always be one of the best local joints to have breakfast at. The staff is always so nice. The food is legit. You can't go wrong having a meal here. I look forward to coming back sooner than later.

    Stuffed French toast and the rich latte

    I will for sure be thinking about this meal for the longest time. 10/10 going to one I visit when I come to visit from now on.

    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!

    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 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.

    The service and the food were amazing. I had the john Wayne and pancake on side. Husband's. meal was delicious. Freshly squeezed juice . We will definitely be back.

    Root cellar omelet
    Kitara S.

    Root cellar omelet and 8th & Main iced coffee were to die for, the entire staff is so welcoming and team oriented! I don't brunch often but I'd wake up extra early for this. THEY MAKE THEIR JAM IN HOUSE???? It's SO delicious, one of the waitresses gave me 2 little go cups without me even asking, I can't wait

    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!

    I will always come back here! So good and recommend it x10000. Great service and good. Love the music and ambiance.

    The entrance is across from this building and signage.

    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.

    After experiencing wildly successful popularity last year for their Friday lunches, owner Rita…read moreSturiale closed the cafe portion of this gift shop - café in roughly December to regroup. So it was delightful when The Sturiale Place reopened last month (May 2018) as warm and wonderful as ever for ambiance in the lovingly restored old house, hospitality, service and food. With a revised and bit expanded menu and a new young Chef in the kitchen, formerly Executive Chef at a Portland area McMenamins, this was a unique little gem before and the changes have polished it even brighter. Our first lunch after re-opening was as delightful as the others we enjoyed here last year (see my previous review for details). This time we enjoyed being able to try new menu items like green salad with Delicata squash and herbed goat cheese (half order $7.50), house made pappardelle with braised lamb Bolognese ($18) and mushroom Marsala on polenta ($13). As a great new surprise on the wine menu, manager Gina Sturiale (daughter of Rita) has added a really good white and red wine by the glass, like the nice Negroamaro my husband enjoyed, for as little as $5! The menu spans options from soup through appetizers and starter or main course sized salads through entrees to desserts. Prices range from $6 to $18. Total inside seating is limited to maybe 16 and maybe about that many on an outside deck. So this is not a place for big groups. It is likely not a kids' destination either. As added treat they are now open on Thursday and Friday from 11 to 2 for lunch. And now reservations can be made via Open Table.

    Make sure you have a reservation before you come! We got turned away at the door because we didn't…read morehave one. Not subtracting stars for that, since it was our fault. I did subtract one star because there is only street parking and many spaces you need a residential permit to park. Also, they have such limited hours of operation. Won't be able to try again until next week. We have a reservation for next Friday, so I will update with review on food then.....
