    Great food, great service and a view to die for. I had the Brisket Benedict and it was fantastic. Wife dad the waffles and they were great as well. Service was fast and friendly. Recommend visiting when in McCall.

    Patio view

    Haven't been here since the new ownership/name change. And WOW! Very impressed. Our server was wonderful, food took a bit to get but we just enjoyed the view while we waited. I got the brioche French toast with sausage patty and eggs. The French toast was amazing and I don't say that lightly because I am pretty picky about it. Sausage patty's were hand made and delicious.! Sorry about the pics of 1/2 eaten food. Of course you also can't go wrong with the patio view!

    This place seems to have two Yelp entries, so pasting this review here as well... My wife and I had read the reviews about this restaurant, and we were excited to give it a try for breakfast. We made a reservation and noted we had a dog (so we asked for patio seating). From the moment we walked in, it was possibly the worst dining experience we've had (and we've had some bad ones. First, the hostess was extremely rude to me when I approached her and asked about my reservation. After telling me to step aside while they waited in a large party, she marched us out to the patio and gave us a table in a corner since we had a dog. BTW, we weren't the only ones with a dog. The table had water spilled all over it and no one bothered to wipe it off. She gave us one menu (and a kids menu) and left. We then sat there for close to 15 minutes before the waiter came. We asked for water and coffee, and after 10 more minutes our food showed up, but still no water or coffee. Finally, water came out from a different person and no coffee. I asked to see the waiter and after several more minutes (about 25-30 at this point) the waiter arrived with coffee. I had French toast which was very hard (I.e. cooked too long). But my bacon was very undercooked. My wife had an egg sandwich which she said was good, but the dish of fruit they brought out was actually translucent (very old and soggy). We sent it back, and the girl came back with it and said "all the fruit in the bowl is like this". She did offer to bring my wife some strawberries, and they weren't bad. I told the girl that this wasn't a very good breakfast so she sent her manager out who also happened to be the owner. When we mentioned the quality of the food, she said "we are slammed" and then she told us to "finish up eating and skeedaddle ". I overheard her tell the waiter to void our ticket and we were not welcome there again. They were sorely understaffed for Memorial Day weekend, rude, and I wouldn't say very welcoming. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal and a welcoming environment. And the owner/manager needs to take some basic customer service training (along with the hostess)

    It's decorated all cute in here, and the view of the lake is amazing! Our server was really nice and got us everything quickly. But I'm writing this review mostly for the food.....it was soooooo yummers!!! The breakfast burrito was huge and delish and came with your choice of side. And I got waffles which came with eggs and a protein it was so good. The eggs were perfectly scrambled not too dry or wet, and the sausage links were hot and juicy. I'm coming here every time I'm in McCall now!!

    No complaints. Great, friendly staff. We were quick to be helped, and order taken. We got the carnivore and eggs Benedict and loved both. Gorgeous views, I wish it had been a warmer day so we could sit outside! If we could go back tho, I would definitely get share. Ginormous portions. We all took half home.

    And how cool are these mimosa flight holders? Handmade by the owner

    We came to "The Den" in McCall during our April 2025 trip to Idaho. It was a chilly yet sunny day and the view of the lake was still frozen over but really pretty. I bet it's even better during the summer. Food, Service, and Ambiance were great. Owners are really cool and it was nice chatting with them while we were there. They have a unique mimosa flight with lots of different flavors. The bbq brisket was delicious. They smoke all their meat daily at the restaurant. You can tell the owners really care about their business and customers. We will definitely be back in the future.

    We were excited to have brunch in the afternoon in McCall, Idaho. Food was average, Wyatt was our waiter and he was excellent. Beautiful lake side setting but seemed like nothing special as far as the food was concerned. The side order of potato's were dry and really nothing to write home about. See our photos

    Sooo good!!    Too big to eat it all, too good to leave!  Wes and Jenny are awesome people!!

    Too Big to eat to GOOD to leave!! Owners Wes and Jenny are amazing ! I highly recommend it here for breakfast and lunch !!!!

    View of the lake!

    Fantastic! Kristen was our server and she was wonderful! Excellent homemade food with perfect service. The hand squeezed orange juice Mimosa was perfect. I highly recommend the sweet potato mash bowl! Yum!

    This place is a GEM! Crazy good southern food in McCall ID of all places??…read more I will say, with the exception of a cookie I have only had the Shrimp PoBoy here, I might have had the chowder before as well now that I think about it...but the Shrimp PoBoy is as good as anything I have had in LA, TX, AL...anything along the Gulf of Mexico and places between there and here! I have had a lot of PoorBoys, PoBoys, sandwiches of southern design regardless of how they spell them or pronounce them...and this one is spot on! To start with its on a really good roll, fresh with a nice crust and soft in the center! The fillings are fresh, well seasoned and the shrimp is perfectly fried and fresh as you can expect in the middle of ID, which is very fresh tasting! I have gotten it with the Tater Tots I think every time...fried potato products is my weakness I will admit and these are far better than most! Fresh, perfectly fried and crunchy! You do get a fair number of them, so pace yourself! I have been here in the middle of summer, spring, fall and now winter. This is my only stop for lunch...why would I go elsewhere! The service every time has been amazing. Super nice people and great service! Zero complaints with anything here...other than when will I be back! KT

    Frenchie's is one of the many great restaurants in McCall. The food is always excellent. Really…read morefriendly staff.
