We love supporting locally owned businesses throughout the Treasure Valley. We were alarmed when we saw an SUV weaving way too fast through the cars in the parking lot and then quickly grabbing front-row parking. It was the male owner!!!

We had a fantastic meal here! I ordered the flat iron steak salad, and my partner got the Cuz I'm a Cowboy Baby 1/2 # kobe burger. Both the steak and the burger meat were cooked to absolute perfection (a true medium rare). The lettuce and veggies in the salad were incredibly fresh and crisp, and it was tossed in a delicious, Greek-style dressing that complimented the dish perfectly. My husbands burger was topped with a cheesy fried tatertot and his onion rings were perfectly finished; the batter didnt slip off when taking a bite. I think the price was very fair for this filling luch. ​Our server, Sara, was wonderful--attentive, friendly, and great at her job. Highly recommend!

We ordered chips and guacamole, but the guacamole looked like there was just random stuff thrown into it, and sadly it was flavorless. The main dishes were okay. I ordered a sandwich and the meat was really full, but again, flavorless. I was so disappointed after really looking forward to a meal here. The wait staff tucked us in a corner and it felt like they forgot about us for the most part. We were asked how things were when we ordered or food was delivered to the table. The next time we saw them was for the bill. Sadly we won't be back.

My best friend and I have been here before, and…read morewe're definitely creatures of habit because we usually order the same thing every time I get the French toast, eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee, and she pretty much gets the same. The food is always good, fresh, and satisfying, and it's a nice casual place to grab breakfast or brunch. The service is great ! My only complaint is the flies! There always seem to be quite a few flying around, and sometimes you feel like you have to fight them for your food. LOL! I really wish they could find a way to get that under control because it definitely takes away from the dining experience. Other than that, we enjoy coming here. Good food, good brunch spot, and clearly we like it because we keep coming back!

Have you ever returned to a restaurant and think to yourself, "Why in the world have I not come…read moreback here sooner." That is the thought I had when we sat down at Moe Joe's. This place is phenomenal and seriously one of the best breakfast places in all of Idaho. I hesitate to say that because there can definitely be a wait because of its popularity, but facts are facts. My wife and I went to Moe Joe's for breakfast recently and man was it good. I ordered the chicken fried steak and was stunned at the amount of food. Where to start. The steak was incredibly tender and enormous. The homemade biscuit was flaky and perfectly baked. The sausage gravy was meaty and flavorful. And the crispy hashbrowns seemed to cover half the plate. Then there are the house-made jellies. Who does that and how can I get more! The service was prompt and friendly with a great wait staff that made everything easy. The vibe of the restaurant is "friendly neighborhood spot" and feels like home. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. These folks know how to do breakfast right and I cannot wait to go back.

I'd call ahead and get your name on the list as it's quite popular and lots of people eat here. So, we had a group of four. The chicken fried steak was very good with gravy and huge portion. Good luck finishing it. I had corned beef hash unlike any I've ever had. The corned beef as in thin strips with no fat and all taste and fresh. The pancake will most assuredly will be the biggest you've ever seen. It's fluffy and done just right! We went on a Friday. It appeared the place had more tables available around the lunch hour. The wait staff was serving us throughout meal. Checking in regularly. Topping off the coffee and asking about our meal. Next time we visit will try their lunch. Not very often where you eat somewhere and don't find something that falls short or disappoints you. Well nothing but KUDOS! For this place. Also, I noted a party of 18 nearby and they were all served and monitored throughout their meal. Give it a try. This is best corned beef I've ever had

Joe Momma's is a go to and we typically love it. Service is friendly, prices are ok and the food is…read moregood. (I mean, some of it is greasy and the syrup is gloopy and a bit nasty-- it's better if it's warm-- but overall the food is good). So before I tell you the BIG issue at Joe Momma's, let me first set the scene. JM's looks like a misty mountain cabin come to life. River rock and pinecone and foliage lanterns greet you as you walk up ... log walls and a massive stone fireplace whisper of times gone by as you enter, and hens adorn the dark wood walls. You could easily picture the Fellowship of the Ring sitting in a booth across from you. It's truly charming. So what's the problem with Joe Momma's? The music! It's AWFUL and completely bizarre given the atmosphere of the restaurant. But hey, if blasted mid-2000's Rihanna and Katy Perry songs on a loop (we counted more than 4) is your idea of a good time at 8:30am on a Saturday morning in a log cabin, then you'll love it. I have a feeling Samwise and Frodo would not though and neither did we. The music is loud, very loud. And sounds more like an LA radio station playing Pop's Top Hits from 19 years ago. Which would be okay, I guess, if the energy of the restaurant matched it-- you know, modern architecture, crisp lines, sleek furniture and color design-- think Snooze in Scottsdale, Az which is basically a breakfast night club. But alas, Joe Momma's is beloved because of the misty mountain feel. The upscale Cracker Barrel vibe. The charming, rustic beauty. And the abrasive, bad pop music ruins the whole thing. It's is truly so freaking weird! Maybe they could keep the Pop for the lunch rush, but PLEASE Joe Momma's, for the love of Frodo, leave breakfast alone and come up with a playlist that matches your beloved establishment!!

I had the Chicken and Waffle Benedict and can I just say... WOW. The chicken wasn't overly breaded; it was perfectly light and crispy. The waffles were nice and fluffy, and the hash browns were crisp just how I like them. I came with my neighbors, and they were just as happy with their meals. We also tried the mimosa flights with different juices, and they were so delightful! They have two different options, so I tried one and my neighbor tried the other. Let's just say they had us feeling great after. If you're looking for a breakfast spot to catch up with friends or family, this is the spot. Try it -- you'll love it!

I'm not really in favor of having to give your cell phone number to feed into their app so you know when your table is ready, but there you have it. The inside is pretty cool if you are into that "converted warehouse" feel of exposed beam crossed with a country kitchen feel. Tables aren't crammed together, definitely a sense of space. There are booth options as well. And as I prefer, no TVs. There were 2 groups of 14 that were served during our visit, so they can definitely accommodate larger parties. Our server rarely checked in, took 10 minutes to refill coffee after we requested a top off (she forgot), and never ended up refilling out water. The coffee we did get was good though. As always, I'm a hollandaise connoisseur as the foundation for perfect Benedict - my go to breakfast item. So I asked for a sample before I ordered, and I'm glad I did. The Griddle's hollandaise was curious. It was clearly about 25-50% powdered mix (which tastes like nasty beef gravy) with the balance being added clarified butter and a very strong dose of lemon. It was marginal, but good enough. So, I went with the crab cake Benedict. The crab cakes were a bit "fishy," so the strong lemon flavor was a plus. After flagging down our server, I requested a new poached egg as one of them arrived hard boiled. (I want runny yolks as hard boiled are too chalky for my taste.) The replacement egg was delivered very quickly. My guest had the banana Texas french toast special with added bacon and scrambled eggs. Bacon was nice and thick, nicely cooked. Scrambled eggs are pretty much just that. The french toast did have great body to it, but I'm not a huge banana fan. Still enjoyed it though. I would consider this an option for a revisit.

MakyJames Grill Recently voted Idaho's Best Food Truck,…read moreMakyJames Grill, open since 2015,specializes in classic fried and grilled food, including homemade finger steaks, burgers and jumbo mozzarella cheese sticks.They make all of their sauces from scratch. Last week, two coworkers and I tried MJG for the first time. The food was great! I wasn't able to get a picture of the Guacamole Burger, which was one of the two daily specials, but two of us got the finger steaks, one with fries, one with jumbo mozzarella cheese sticks. I don't eat finger steaks often because homemade versions are hard to fine, but several days after trying these, l had them at a local brewpub who was featuring them as one of their specials of the day. MJG's were far superior in every way. Whatever you do, be sure to get some jumbo mozzarella sticks. Owner/Chef Jimmy was very warm and welcoming. MJG posts their weekly schedule on their FB page. Highly recommended!!!
