The service was quick - I didn't wait long to have my order taken. The food was exactly as I expected...hearty and delicious! My first stop in I had the Everything Omelette and the second I had the Chicken Fried Steak. Both were so good! The serving sizes are quite large, so I couldn't manage to eat it all. Had sourdough toast both times and it was yummy. read more

Badger den was great, had two meal there so far and would definitely go back. Parking was good easy access, service was fast and food was of good quality. read more

Coffee was okay, I didn't finish mine. It tasted like a cup of sugar, couldn't taste coffee. Food was not very good. The biscuits and sausage gravy had next to nothing for sausage. The gravy was so salty it was hard to eat. The bacon was soggy, the hash browns were soggy. The toast had so much butter it was soggy too. read more

Great quick stop for breakfast plus they have iced lattes..great prices. It gets busy but there fast

Good roasted coffee. Biscuits with and gravy were good. Gravy was chunky with sausage and biscuits were nice and fluffy. Service was good. Food came fast. read more

This place is probably not somewhere I would go back to. First, the latte I ordered was not appealing at all. I'm not sure if the flavoring they use was bad or what.... Second, the muffins we ordered were stale and inedible. Third, the sign on the business out front is a disgrace. Location speaks volumes so it should not be surprising. Avoid this place if you do not want to waste your money and you are not attuned to supporting hate. read more

Amazing homemade strawberry jam. Large portions! Sweet, homey atmosphere. Great service. Plenty of options to choose from. Delicious hash browns. Local, homegrown food :) The lighting in the men's bathroom stall was inadequate. Gravy could use a bit more flavor. Poached egg wasn't done super well. Great place overall! Just some suggestions. read more

The Badger's Den - #5. Hash Browns Supreme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bonners Ferry, Idaho

We had a hearty breakfast while on a one week bicycling trip around the Selkirk Mountains. Friendly service, good food. I recommend it if you are passing through Bonners Ferry! read more

Wow! What a gem this place is. Service, food, coffee, and the atmosphere, couldn't be much better! Only thing is the hashbrowns could be cooked more, they lacked crunch, but we'll just ask for it next time. Had a great breakfast! read more

We moved up to Bonners ferry about a year ago. Badgers den is always hoppin'! We were wanting to go but we have a large family & we're wanting to ask regarding allergen friendly etc. It recently changed ownership! Tasha (the new owner) was so helpful. They were running a little slow today and she apologized for the wait & thanked us for our patience. Then I shared about my needs regarding my nutrition she went back and checked with the kitchen. She helped me order & she was so pleasant and has such good energy we knew we were in the right place. Now let me talk about a few things they grate & make their hashbrowns fresh daily. They have unbelievably fair prices! And huge portions. This will be a go to place for breakfast for decades. We are big believers in supporting local. If you're looking for a place for good food, fair prices, great service and a friendly atmosphere this is the place! read more

Stopped here on day 3 of our cross country road trip. Darling place that serves breakfast and lunch. We were seated right away by our server, Priscilla. What a darling! Hubby had pancakes and sausage which he enjoyed. Since it was Friday they had clam chowder which I ordered along with the fish & chips. The food was served quickly and was hot! Clam Chowder was very good but the fish and chips not so much. The 3 star rating was for the food but if I rated the service it would be 5. Priscilla went over and beyond waiting on us. She gave us a wealth of information on our travel route on top of great service. read more

The Badger's Den - What a sense of humor! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bonners Ferry, Idaho

Fantastic food and hometown service. Fun atmosphere too!! Especially love the biscuits and gravy read more

We finally made it in! Food was great! Dayne was our server and she was a lot of fun. We loved the ambiance and appreciate the decor.

Cute little small town diner. Friendly staff. Mostly locals eating breakfast but didn't feel like an outsider or out of place. The biscuits and gravy are very good. The homemade preserves that comes with the toast is amazing! The bacon is crispy and has a smoky flavor.... yummy! The kitchen sink was great. It was eggs, hash browns, veggies and a choice of meat scrambled together. Great stop! read more

Went for breakfast at The Badger's Den on the recommendation of a friend. The food was excellent...really fresh eggs, crispy fried corned beef hash, and the waitress didn't bat an eye when I asked if I could substitute cottage cheese for the hash browns. Don't forget to request the homemade preserves for your toast. Excellent coffee, as well. But now, let's talk about the service...they are friendly, fast, and efficient and will carry on a conversation with you. They are busy, and it seems to be the local favorite judging by how the wait staff knew just about everybody, including what they usually drink and eat. This is my go to place in Bonner's Ferry...thank you, Badger's Den read more

Last time we were thru these parts, the Let's-go-Brandon sign prominently displayed caused us to remove this from our list of places to try. Ever. I have a hard and fast rule for avoiding establishments that push their politics on their customers. No thanks. read more

Stopped in on the way south to Boise. Excellent breakfast and very nice staff. I had the all meat omlette and a friend had the kitchen sink. Both very good and qe would recommend this place. Would stop again on our next trip through. read more

Opens early, service is good, homemade Strawberry Jam kicks some booty and if you can't find your favorite breakfast on their menu you need help. Everything was perfect. read more

The food here is exactly what home cooking is! They serve amazing biscuits and gravy here. The workers here will remember your name and your order and in such a small town it adds to its charm. The food is made to order and served hot. Whenever I am in town I make it a point to come grab some breakfast at "The Badger's Den". read more

Outstanding hole in the wall! Excellent customer service and the food was amazing, like grandmas home cooking! Definitely going back here!

Homemade jam, great food, great coffee and very accommodating staff. I will be back and would recommend to anyone. Very good service. Thank you. read more

Terri is my fav barista! My favorite coffee stop in Bonners for sure! The restaurant is a wonderful place for families to go for breakfast, not too pricey and good portions. read more

Yummy home style breakfast and lunch here. Second time here, and both times were great. I had an omelette, Mom had a turkey sandwich, Dad had biscuits and gravy. Big portions, but they do have a "smaller appetites" menu too. Quick and super friendly service! read more

I got a 24oz cinnamon orange mango Red Bull special she only used haft a Red Bull and filled the rest with water she got really mad at me because I used my one free coffee the grosses thing ever read more

I'll admit I was worried by the sign "Tanning, WiFi, Latte". I didn't need a tan, and wondered if that was required to get the other two. This is the ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD where I've seen a spreadsheet of coffee prices on the menu, with a dozen styles (mocha, espresso, etc.) and columns for prices for the following ounce volumes: 8, 12, 16, 20, 26, 32. Starbucks makes a "vente" which is 20oz, but TWO SIZES larger as well? They had a full selection of breakfast and lunch menus and the place was filling up at 7am. All I know is that the coffee was above average, even for a metropolitan area (which is about 825 miles due West), the breakfast muffin was competent, and the wifi was better than my motel across the street. For this town, this is probably a 5 star place, but in the Grande Scheme of Things, it's a 3 star you'd go to no matter where you lived. read more

After a stay at the Kootenai Valley Motel, we rev'd up for the day with a classic breakfast at the classic Badger's Den. The coffee size variety is extraordinary - really! from 8 oz to 32oz - and with totally reasonable prices, you could caffeinate yourself for a long day's drive with ease. And then there's the breakfast choices - which range from "classic" to "more classic" - combinations of pancakes and eggs, and french toast and burritos. The restaurant has a funky western decor, with hundreds of license plates along the ceilings, burlap coffee sacks and medals from (I'm assuming) family members' wins. Really fun, and frequented by lots of locals! read more

Came for breakfast while here from out of state for a wedding. Yelp steered me here and they were right! First morning I had breakfast burrito, very good. Next day the chicken fried steak and eggs-oh my! Best I have ever had in my 65 years. Crispy crust on the steak, peppery gravy that was awesome, and my basic eggs over easy. The rest in my party were equally happy with their meals. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Good food and great people. Hometown feel. The only complaint is I can't afford to eat there every day.

Poor service and nasty dressed employees. I am constantly finding hair in my food. I only go back because ther are only so many places in a small tow read more

Hearty burrito, gourmet coffee, great price. I stop here on my drive from Spokane to BC every time. Great place.

I really like this place. The food is not super deluxe or fancy, but they are what they are and do what they do very well. They have free wi-fi, which is awesome and their food is simple and tastes great. What more could you ask for. Good going, Badger Den, you are probably the best restaurant in a small town with limited choices. Please open for dinner! read more

Best coffee to go & breakfast in town. I love their biscuits & gravy. Been a fan for years :)

Well, that's an hour of my life that I'll never get back! I stopped here for lunch on Monday because the nearby Chick-n-Chop had been recommended to me, but turned out to be closed on Mondays. I will say that the huckleberry shake I ordered was quite good. However, the lunch special of the day (turkey melt sandwich with broccoli cheese soup, slightly overpriced, but not terribly so) was truly unfortunate. The sourdough bread in the sandwich was the only thing that made it edible . . . the filling flavors just didn't blend well, and the whole thing had an unpleasantly gooey texture. But the broccoli cheese soup was truly the worst. It didn't actually taste cheesy-- more like some kind of glutinous gravy. I couldn't manage to get down more than the first bite. Worst of all, though, was the service. The young lady who waited on me was very pleasant and friendly, but just not efficient at all. She didn't offer to refill my empty water glass even once, and waiting for the food . . . and then the bill . . . and then for her to actually come and take my payment and give change . . . took such a staggering length of time that, out of desperation, I really considered just leaving and mailing in the payment from home! This in spite of the fact that there were only a handful of other customers, so it wasn't busy at all. Seriously, don't even consider stopping here for lunch! Their coffee and breakfast items may be fine (I have no way to know!), but it's definitely not a good choice for lunch. If you are a local . . . well, I don't know what the other options in town are like, but perhaps you'd be better off fixing your own lunch at home. read more

A stop for breakfast after camping an hour away at Pete creek campground! Had to ask a local where to go for a good breakfast! After seeing the outside it was not real inviting or fancy, but looks can be deceiving, we went in because we were too hungry, and needed coffee bad!! I read a couple of reviews but one said server was not nice and they had to wait for their service and coffee so I wasn't sure if I should try this place being as picky as I am! So my husband and I sat down at a table found a table that said Elvis drive and it had great ambience. My husband had pancakes eggs and hashbrowns and I had eggs and biscuits and gravy Maria first time having an American breakfast, it was fantastic! Pancakes yummy, gravy a little too strong in pepper but still liked it. Coffee could've been stronger but it still was great and I love it the great choices on the menu and love that there was a charging station at the booths, and service was fantastic please check this place out it is a little gem!! read more

Yes, please!! I only visit this hidden nugget of deliciousness every other year, and am happy when I do! First of all, they have a drive through (I don't have to get out of my car when it is below freezing, hallelujah!). Second, their prices and sizes are MUCH more reasonable than Starbucks(in Safeway) - I got three medium sized drinks for under $10! Yaaassssssssssss. Plus, less cost for me, means bigger tip for them! Third, it is filled with multitudes of different choices for favors, and the lovely ladies are happy to make your drink with any special orders :) . And last, I LOVE supporting small, family owned businesses when I can!! I will always come back here!! read more

Hash brown special number 5 is my staple, that or the sausage breakfast burrito. Always hearty and taste great. They Make a Crazy assortment of drinks as well. Good people, good food. read more

We recently made a trip from B.C. to Southern Califronia and as soon as we made it across the border into Idaho we began to get hungry. As soon as we made it to the first town, Bonners Ferry, we made it about halfway through town until we the saw a cute little building with paintings of cute little animals on the windows which originally made us stop. We decided to eat there and didnt regret it because even though they were a small breakfast and lunch Cafe they presented an amazing value of food for a great price and I never thought Northern Idaho would have the great food that i would expect from a little town, but the customer satisfaction and qualtiy of food was 100% greater than i expected. read more

The food was ok and a little overpriced for the amount you were served. Need to use the heater, had to wear our winter coats to eat.

This place has heart! It also has good food for a good price. It started small and grew into a great establishment, some of us have been going there since the beginning and still love the place! Don't change anything, it is good to go now! read more
