    French toast, two eggs, and bacon
    Joe F.

    We ate here two weeks ago on a weekday so was not too busy. I had the French Toast and my wife had the quiche. The French toast came with two eggs and some bacon and was very good. My wife really enjoyed her quiche as well. Overall the service was OK. I wouldn't say great but good enough would definitely go back for breakfast again in the future.

    Huckleberry stuffed French toast - DELICIOUS
    Paul M.

    Had a great experience today! Came at 7am, right as they opened. John A welcomed me in and was my server. He was very friendly and attentive. Ordered the stuffed French toast with huckleberries. Texas toast was used for the French toast and cream cheese and huckleberries spread between the two slices of bread. Ordered a latte and they use quality expresso beans. Always thrilled when a breakfast spot has the full espresso menu (and not just coffee). Everything was delicious. Inside is nicely decorated. I think this is a chain but they don't have any locations where I live in Seattle, which is too bad because this is a good breakfast spot!!!

    Breve

    We both had a breakfast special the first time we came. Mine was Eggs Benedict on a croissant. It was delicious. The breve was also excellent and the service was exceptional. At the time of our first visit, we were starting out on a 2 week vacation and had just flown into the Boise Airport the day before. Today, we are flying home and have come to this restaurant for breakfast again. We love this place!

    It's been a while since I have been to this Griddle location but we sure did have such a great experience there today. A couple of my friends and I met for breakfast today. It wasn't super busy so I grabbed a table. A server cane, dropped off menus and grabbed my drink order. She got me all squared away and Leah took care of me till my friend is showed up. After everyone got settled and looked over the menu, we worked on our fresh orange juice and coffee. The Griddle will always have the best Oj in town. It's hard not to suck down the whole cup in one gulp. The coffee was hot and fresh. For breakfast I got 2 eggs and bacon. The eggs were fried nicely. My hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, my favorite. I got 3 slices of bacon that was crispy and salty. I also got a side of country gravy for my hashbrowns. I like that their gravy isn't so thick, it had a great consistency to it. Everything was delicious! Leah did a great job taking care of us. My third friend was running late but Leah checked up on us. Had our coffee cups filled and took our empty plates away to give us more space. I will have to say, this location has the best staff. Compared to the other locations, The Griddle Park Center is fantastic.

    Chilaquiles and quesadilla plate
    Jimena V.

    Well we have been here twice, and this two times we had felt like they are racist toward us, don't get me wrong the food was amazing is pretty good, but the service was awful, we couldn't even get a water, I get it they are busy but our waiter would go check on every other table except us and when we finally get to order our drinks we had to do it with another waiter and he gave us an attitude as well, idk we didn't feel welcome over there by the staff, as soon we got the food they gave us our bill even tho we wanted to order more they didn't ask us, and like I said every time we wanted to get something those two times that we went we would get ignored or get help with an attitude :/ I just don't think that's okay and it mades us feel uncomfortable

    Vanilla latte

    It's always busy here and for good reason. It's a classic breakfast spot with really solid specials and a classic breakfast menu. Lively but not too loud inside. I'd say it's somewhere between a nice upscale restaurant and a greasy spoon.

    Quinoa, Chorizo & egg tostadas.
    Chelsea L.

    When we arrived, the line appeared to be long, but we were seated in less than five minutes. I ordered the quinoa, chorizo, and egg tostadas meal along with a hotcake. It was delicious! I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town!

    Chilaquiles with over medium eggs & pork. Delicious.

    The omelettes were basic and average. Nice place but not what we wanted. Service was nice and timely. Coffee was weak.

    Some websites state that you are pet-friendly. I am hoping to visit the Winnemucca location - can I bring my dog?

    The Idaho locations are pet friendly. However, due to the health codes in Winnemucca we can not allow pets.

    Came in for dinner and had biscuits and gravy. I was worried what kind of quality of food I was…read moregoing to get beans that I saw the chef use the microwave. From what I've gathered they make their own biscuits and they're gravy was definitely not from a box. The bacon was cooked almost perfect and the hashbrowns were also good overall a good experience good 1950s feel to the restaurant and the staff is very polite.

    Before Christmas, my friend wanted to meet up for a quick bite so she suggested Eddie's. We both…read morewanted breakfast for lunch so Eddie's sounded like a great place to eat at. I arrived first. There was a server behind the counter not really acknowledging me. There were also a couple other servers hanging out by the breakfast bar that were in their own little world. So, I just stood there for a while. Finally someone who was actually serving a table who wad walking by greeted me and got my sat. I got some coffee started while I was waiting for my friend. I told me server about my new kidney and that I couldn't use the creamers on the table that had been handled by previous guests. She was kind and got me a new bowl of creamers. I kicked it, enjoyed my hot coffee and waited till my friend showed up. After my friend finally showed up, we breezed over the menu and decided on some grub. I did have a meal a little before our lunch date so I got something off the smaller menu. I decided on the hamburger patty with onions and 1egg meal. I thought it was going to be the perfect amount. Everything came out quickly. I did ask for a side of brown gravy for my hamburger patty, it was looking kinda dry. The side of fruit I got looked fresh and my egg was cooked perfectly. My patty was smaller, it would be comparable to a patty you would use as a slider. The gravy and onions did add nice flavor to it. Unfortunately the gravy was sitting for a while in the back cause it was lumpy and cooler. The egg was fresh and the fruit as good. My coffee was always topped off by our server which I really appreciated. My friend and I didn't realize what time they closed. We just thought that we came at an odd hour so no one was eating and it was slow. We hung out for a while and chatted. Finally another server told us that she was going to go paint the bathroom and she would be in there if we needed anything. Finding that to be such an odd comment, I googled to see what time they closed. It was 2:15 and they closed at 2. I thought a simple "is there anything else we can get you cause we are closed" would have been sufficient instead of beating around the bush. I served for over 30 years and have never told my guests I would be in the bathroom if they needed me. It was an interesting meal here. The venue was fun with the lights and vintage decor. The food was decent. Our server did a great job but service outside of her was non existent or questionable. I have my favorite breakfast joints and I wish I could have added this place to it on this end of town. I love supporting local but it's hard to support this joint when the service and food was just 50/50.

Karinna was our server, and she did an excellent job of taking care of us; friendly, attentive, and helpful. That are known for their scones. To me, they weren't really like the scones I'm used to. They're big pastries of fried dough, and you can get them covered with cinnamon and sugar, fruit, cream cheese, and more. I had the three egg Jalapeño and cheese omelet (spicy/good) with hash browns and upgraded to the cinnamon and sugar "scone". My wife got eggs and sausage, hash browns, and the same type of scone. The food was all good, but the scones were delicious! More like a large pastry churro, and with butter on top it was amazing. My problem was with the men's bathroom. It was disgusting. Dirty, paper on the floor, toilet--well, you get the idea. This caused me to look around and see that the place was not all that clean. So, the next time we would come, and that would be for those scones, we'd do takeout.

Sat at the counter and service was prompt and friendly despite a very busy period for them. Felt like classic Americana and a taste of the Boise I remember growing up with. Definitely recommend although I'll warn you that there is nothing scone like about their scones which are closer to a fried fair food or elephant ear than a scone. Still delicious but know what you are in for

The clients are pretty much the town color, a little bit of everyone. It's a sliding scale of economic status of Boise. I'm sitting in the service lounge of the Mercedes dealership writing this just after talking to another MB customer who was raving about this place. There are people eating there who have shopping carts holding all their worldly possessions. Everyone goes there it seems. The decor is whatever they could find. The staff is tatted up ex moms happily living their granola lives. The food is good, maybe not great but perfectly fine for a breakfast spot. Would I go back, oh hell yes!

Had it with a cup of coffee and it was enjoyable. The part that made it not my favorite was the English muffin was overly soaked in butter and soft. I much prefer a more crisp English muffin. The server was very nice and took great effort in making sure everything was good and my coffee remained full and fresh. The space is a bit eclectic and different with mixed furnishings but still very nice and enjoyable. I have heard that they are moving to a new location and look forward to trying them again once I have the time to do so. I would say this is a good place to eat and enjoy alone or with family or friends.
