Came to this location today to try it out because they are about to open a new one within 3 mins of our house. Unfortunately our experience was not great today... We arrived to find the restaurant about 25% full. The sign said to seat ourselves, so we found a booth and sat ourselves. Immediately a waitress came by and dropped off menus. So far, so good. Then it was 15 minutes before anyone visited us to even ask if we were thirsty! We finally stopped one of the waitresses and asked if anyone would be waiting on our table. She said she'd look into it. A few minutes later a waitress we hadn't seen walks up and says she'd look into didn't know she was assigned to wait on our table. To me, this is a challenge when you allow customers to come in and seat themselves. So we immediately ordered our breakfast. It didn't take long to arrive, but again, it didn't go so well... The hash browns were nothing but oil with a few strands of potatoes added. The portion was smaller than typical for a restaurant of this type. 1/2 were under cooked and the other half were over cooked. The meat lovers omelette was so/so. Again, smaller portion size than normal. The other order we had was a pancake. It never showed up. I was 75% done eating my entire breakfast when the waitress finally showed up to ask how it was going. We let her know that we were missing the pancake. She immediately returned with it. Unfortunately, it was well undercooked and doughy. Challenging to eat. Throughout this entire time we were there, not a single person came by to see if we wanted our water refilled. This so disappointing because we were exciting to see a new breakfast place opening up in our neighborhood soon. Our only hope is that the new facility is much better managed than this location. We won't be coming back here. There are too many really good options for breakfast than to deal with the issues described above. read more

Everything was great, food was good. Over all everything was good. My issues were, it did take our server more than it should have to great us. We were looking around and no one was talking to us then later our server came from the back. Also I ordered the feta, tomato, basil and spinach omelette. Thinking that would be the ONLY thing in the dish. Then there were onions. I hate onions.. I was upset and kinda ruined my brunch with the onions. I'm still giving a 5 star. Because it was still a nice experience read more

This was our third time eating at this establishment, and both the service and food have been very good. The open inside area caters well to the crowds that arrive there ready to eat. Each day we were there we can tell there was a regular devoted crowd of customers. Charslie was a very attentive server to our needs, as well as very pleasant to chat with. Food had good flavor and menu had a nice diversity of choices. My wife's favorite was the Banana Pancakes, which were fluffy and tasted great. The breakfast burrito was also the right size for my appetite, without being too large to enjoy. Overall, we will definitely come back when we visit the area in the future. read more

Love me some Griddle! I have a review on the park Blvd location so go check that out but it's gunna be more of the same here. The griddle is great. It's solid, like a solid bedrock of breakfast foundation. Everything we have had here had been fantastic. The meridian location has plenty of seating as well. The French toast...especially the Caribbean French toast is off the flippin charts good. The best French toast I have had in recent memory. The eggs Benedict was very good as well, really my two favorite dishes here. Go get you some Griddle and eat up Boise! read more

So much goodness here! Fun brunch shots and yummy food for all ages. Would definitely recommend this place!

Great service, great ambience, great food. Food was fresh and tasty. Will be back to try more items. Tried the Reuben sandwich. Meat was tasty and tender. read more

Unfortunately they lost me from lack of consistency. My second go-around, the food was subpar. Hashbrowns were soggy and couple of our dishes were just not very good. The service was dragging and they had run out of menu items. I wanted to become a regular here but if the service is this spotty I probably won't roll the dice again. read more

Recently went for breakfast. Place is big, employees friendly and efficient. I didn't realize this was the same place as in Winnemucca, NV until I read the story on their menu. We stop at the one in Winnemucca when passing through and food is the same. Really good. I got an omelet with sourdough and hash browns. Wife had French toast. I think I am ordering French toast from now on. It was fabulous. The toast is super thick, fluffy and made to perfection. Highly recommended! read more

Raspberry crepe, shredded hash, and chimichangas The Griddle has it all. A cool retro feeling diner that has everything. And if you want anything tweaked or a little different they are more than willing to make anything to your liking. Definitely worth stopping when in Boise! read more

Quiche Lorraine was over microwaved rendering the crust very tough. The interior of the quiche was undercooked. I tried to eat it, but it was unpleasant. I shared my experience with the server, who was sympathetic, but I ended up being charged for it. Who does that? This used to be a favorite breakfast spot. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Service was great and the food was delivered quickly. Had a variety of foods at our table which we shared. All was delicious. Highly recommend to others. Is a very busy place so getting seated can be a wait on busy Sundays and Saturdays but worth it. read more

Had the Chorizo hash and a short stack of pancakes. Both items exceeded expectations. But in addition their entire staff including the Manager were outstanding! read more

The Griddle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

We met our son and daughter-in-law for her birthday, she really enjoys the crepes and it was her choice, so what the heck. What a great spot for breakfast, lots of choices but not overwhelmingly so. The restaurant is clean and spacious and feels welcoming. Staff were great from a friendly greeting to fantastic service. This is definitely a place that needs more attention because it's got something for everyone, from sweet or savory crepes to the most flavorful biscuits and gravy, or eggs cooked to perfection, you really can't go wrong. We will definitely have this as a go to when we venture into Meridian. read more

When we visit the area we always go here for our departing breakfast. Danielle was our server & she was fantastic! Friendly, helpful, efficient, & a great hostess. Very personable. The decorations/ambiance are quite unique. The food was amazing, although we didn't care for the maple sausage. Definitely will be going back again. read more

Nice place to go eat with friends and family we enjoyed the food snd also the stuff they sell I got me a mug T-shirt and my husband a hat my husband enjoy the fresh orange juice we love this place read more

We went for an early brunch as a party of 4. The parking is pretty ample and the wait was significant- may have been a holiday. The management (a tall gentleman with glasses) was even bussing tables so I think they weren't expecting the rush of people. We had Gabby as our server and she was so so wonderful! She just returned that day from Maternity leave and was all smiles and super genuine. She was the best server we've had in along while. I really appreciated that she knelt down at our table level to talk to us and made us feel so valued. I will say that the 5 star rating is due to her AND the COCONUT FRENCH TOAST- that I still dream of. The salty butter spread across a thick piece of sweetened coconut heaven was hands down the best French toast I've ever had!!! If you haven't had it- order it immediately and thank me later. read more

Home style breakfast and lunch restaurant - very cute inside with lots of space for groups, very homey feel. The waiters were super nice and food came out fast. Don't sit in the corner booth because they are so busy and it's hard to flag them down for something you need haha but it was very great food at a good price. We went on a Monday morning and it was still busy, weekends are probably packed! Would recommend and I would come again :) read more

There was a long wait for a table, so I had high expectations. The service was friendly and it turns out the server was the managers daughter. The food was okay, but nothing spectacular. However, the caramel sticky buns were excellent!!! Unfortunately my card was skimmed at this location and used at other businesses in the area. If you go, pay cash for the sticky buns and run. read more

Our Server Brett was one of the best servers I have had in years. The menu had so many great options that it made it hard to pick. We had an omelette, quesadillas, Carnitas Tacos, biscuit and gravy, chocolate chip pancakes and Crepe. Everything tasted great! read more

The food was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and did a great job. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. It wasn't too loud.

Unfortunately if I could give a zero I would. Stopped in for a late breakfast and honestly regret and wish I would have went through a drive through somewhere else. We were sat right away but took server over 20 minutes to take our order. Then we waited an hour for our food. Once we finally received our food it was dried out and like warm from sitting in the window too long. I had the veggies omelette and with the first bite tasted like old rotten fish?! I was shocked and had to spit out in my napkin. I thought my taste buds were going crazy so I made my husband taste it and he said the same. I couldn't even try to eat it. My husband got the meat lovers omelette which was cold. His omelette weren't even cooked all the way. The pecan roll isn't "fresh" as labeled on menu as the waitress said it was in the microwave. She told the manager about my omelette and took off (which I didn't even eat) but the manager never came to the table to apologize or offer anything else. Very disappointing that they have no customer service and don't seem to care if you have bad food which unfortunately doesn't correct these things. Who knows maybe prevent illness, since something was fowl in that omelette. Super disappointing and after over an 1.5 left without even eating except a couple bites from the pecan roll. Will never return and definitely not recommending. If you read my other reviews you can see that o hardly ever give bad reviews so this review says a lot about this restaurant. read more

Fantastic - they nailed it. This is what brunch is supposed to be - flavorful, fun, great service, and a good value (especially compared to some of the expensive, bland, overcrowded and overrated stuff downtown). Will recommend to anybody in the Boise area. read more

Excellent breakfast. I had Corn beef hash with eggs. Wife has California Benedict. Both were terrific washed down with fresh squeezed OJ. Fast friendly service. Several locals who are regulars here were near by and also friendly. Will be here for breakfast on our next trip to Boise. read more

Atmosphere: Family friendly. Loud (but decent), older diner decor which I love, personally. Staff: Very friendly and helpful. Interacted with our table very well and very attentive to our needs. Food: Amazing! I love a crispy bacon (if you don't this place won't be it for you). I think you can request lightly cooked bacon if you're into that, but I love the crispy bacon. Crepes were OK. Kind of plain in my opinion. I got the stuffed French toast and it's my favorite! (Strawberry and Rhubarb). Mimosa: FAVORITE! FRESH (literally made in-front of you) orange juice!! Kind of pricey but it's good to treat you or your family every now and then. read more

In town visiting and was looking for a traditional breakfast spot. So glad we found this place. Pancakes, Bacon, Hasbrowns, Eggs, homemade jam and a FULL espresso bar! Home run, we will be back before we leave. read more

Tucked away on overland, just past eagle road is this breakfast spot. it was really busy when we got there on a Saturday morning, but we only had to wait for like 20 minutes so it wasn't terrible. I guess people really love this place, because it was very crowded inside. Again, as you all know, breakfast just doesn't do it for me. I don't really like going out for breakfast. They had no lunch options on the menu, but they did have a Mexican food type section of the menu so I got the chilaquiles. I should have known when the server didn't ask me how I wanted my eggs. for $14 I got some barely wet chips with scrambled egg mixed in. ok. the pulled pork was really good, I will say. it was $2 more to add but they gave me a ton. That made the dish. Without the pork, don't bother. Their hash browns were good and crispy, the bacon looked ok, but my mom said the gravy is delicious. I didn't try it. I thought the service was fast for how busy they were, and our server was attentive. My only complaint is I ordered a side of fruit for my toddler. she told me the adult fruit cup was a little bigger, so I said ok. When I got the bill it was $7! for a ramekin of fruit. it was ridiculous. I was pretty mad about it, i'm not gonna lie. it was not listed on the menu. Overall, ok place. Order the kitchen sink breakfast. Don't get fruit! read more

Good food and good service, nice diner atmosphere. Great variety of breakfast selections.

My husband loves their Gravy Train. I did not care for the sandwich...cheese grilled on the outer side of the bread not appealing. I prefer breakfast over lunch here. Atmosphere is sunny and bright, and always clean. Wait staff is friendly. read more

Service is great and food absolutely delicious. Made our burgers just as we wanted them and got them to us when everything was hot

First time we've been here. Hard to find parking. Food was very good. Service was great. Portion size was normal. A little noisy inside and chairs are uncomfortable to sit on but overall good food and service made up for it. Eggs made perfectly to order too. read more

Breakfast was amazing. The French toast was fluffy and wonderful. The chocolate chip pancake was crazy good. The staff were attentive and helpful. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Just ate here with my mom, sister, sister's boyfriend and my girlfriend. Food was great and there were plenty leftovers. Our waitress, black hair and glasses, was great and provided excellent service. However, when the food was brought to the table, an older man who was helping run food to our table made an inappropriate joke towards one of the women at our table. He was a larger man, late 40's, 6'5", white with glasses and a floral shirt. He made her very uncomfortable. It is a shame that this man thinks that he can make these kinds of misogynistic remarks to female customers. I can guarantee that this isn't the first time he has done this and will probably do it again. The Griddle management, hold your employees accountable. There are courses that are designed to educate and prevent this kind of gross behavior. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot in Nampa hands down. Several people will greet you with a friendly hello when you walk in the door. The service is always the best as all of the ladies here are super sweet. Food is always on point as well, and they have mimosas! read more

I forgot to take pictures of what we order, but our server was super nice. The coffee was so good and my cup was never empty. I order the biscuits and gravy and it had so much flavor. My boyfriend order the Chilaquiles w carnitas and they look good and tastes excellent and for me being Mexican I am picky on my Chilaquiles so I enjoy them. The orange juice wow! It was so refreshing. I am definitely coming back. read more

The Griddle in Meridian. Went there for breakfast Sunday they wanted to upcharge us for cheese on my Denver omelette at $4. He also add on to your bill a 4% of charge for the cost of eggs. We were a party of eight and build $1.40 per couple. That is over $10 of charge for eggs which you can buy a dozen for $4. Totally insane never going back. Buyer beware. read more

This is our second time trying this place and honestly it's ok. People hype it up a lot but it's not THAT great. The customer service is good but our food was cold. Maybe if the food was warmer then it would be better. I got the egg Benedict with chai tea & my wife got the biscuits and gravy which was cold. She asked for scrambled eggs but it looks more like an omelet. read more

The service was great and attentive. The food was good and the prices were great l. The only thing that really was a down fall was there was construction work going on either on the roof or next door and it was just extremely loud and hard to have conversations with the people I was there with. read more
