Absolutely love the griddle and the service is even better! I've gone in a couple times and Brett has taken care of me and let me say, there is no one person who gives better service while being so kind and genuine. I'll keep coming back for him and the food. read more

I'm from Califorinia and came to visit my best friend in January 2021. I came back for another visit and begged her to take me again. We went and the Eggs Benedict wasn't great. Everything else was perfect. I had the savory crepes and OMGEEEEEEE! So yummy! Their orange juice is like no other. So totally to die for!!! I'm flying back today and asked my friend to go back for breakfast. The waitress was a SWEETHEART and when we told her about the Eggs Benedict she profusely apologized. She brought out our food and once again it was UHHHmazing! When we went to pay she said since the Eggs Benedict on Saturday morning wasn't great, she did not charge us for our meal! I'm completely enamored by this place. Beyond friendly staff, a nice environment where they greet you warmly and when you leave they tell you goodbye! And BEYOND amazing food! I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Hasn't disappointed yet. The Rosie's French toast is lovely, and it's always great when mimosas are available :)

Oh. My. Lord. I enjoyed my breakfast (chicken fried steak and eggs) but I don't think I've ever had this kind of diarrhea before. I can never eat here again. read more

Excellent service and food! Had a great breakfast here this morning with such a friendly and attentive waiter. The food was classic diner breakfast food, but a tad elevated. It was a little bit noisy, due to construction in the restaurant (they are expanding! ), but it wasn't too bad. read more

This was my first time here and will not be my last. In all this craziness of stupid COVID a lot of restaurants We normally patron the quality of food as gone down and thats a shame. I love to try new places but again have been apprehensive lately. The Griddle DID NOT disappoint it was so so good. I had the eggs Benedict (amazing) and my 12yr son ordered the 5 meat omelet also on point. The mimosas, fresh squeezed OJ, chai latte also excellent. Try The Griddle out you won't be disappointed. read more

We were very impressed by the People and place. These folks were so nice and friendly. Not a chain. Family owned and operated. At least three of the family are there every day. So busy they have broken down the wall next door for expansion. All the items are homemade. All flavors were unique and delicious. We hope to visit again. I promise you won't be sorry. read more

When visiting Idaho this is my favorite place to eat. The service is exceptional. My family changes up what they order every time we come. They all rave about how good their food is. I am stuck on the Aunt Mo's Potatoes. They are hash browns grilled with bacon, onions, and green peppers. Get my eggs scrambled and an English muffin. Oh yeah, add a slice of French toast. Yeah. It's a lot of food but the coffee washes it down nicely. read more

Okay, it's official. Breakfast is probably one of my most favorite meals! Maybe it's the fact that I'm from Idaho and have a love affair with hash browns, or maybe it's because breakfast food is just really that amazing! While visiting my best friend in Idaho this past weekend, we woke up with our tummy's grumbling and headed to The Griddle to get our brunch fix. Both of us opted for the California Eggs Benedict, because bacon, avocado and hollandaise sauce served on a croissant just sounded amazing! And oh it was! While I opted for eggs over hard instead of poached, it was seriously delicious. Served with a side of hash-browns that were cooked perfectly brown on the outside, we devoured our entire meal! Our server was probably one of the friendliest people, making sure we had everything we needed. The space itself reminds me of an old diner, and feels comfortable and cozy. The perfect place to catch up with a good friend over breakfast! read more

Mallory was outstanding in her care as a server. I came by my self on Veterans Day and she made me feel like it was MY restaurant and I was the only patron! Very personable and on top of every facet! The corn-beef hash was excellent! Thank you Griddle! read more

Love, love, love this restaurant! If you are looking for a spot to have some great morning food, look no further than The Griddle. Be warned, this place is no longer a secret in the valley which means that there will be a bit of a wait but it is so worth it. Personally, I recommend trying their Breakfast Croissant which is an egg, ham, and cheese croissant-style sandwich. This will give you enough room to try one of their dessert style breakfast which includes their Peach Crepes. Highly recommend this yummy goodness. Guaranteed great customer service, your coffee cup will not be empty longer than two minutes (it's almost like they know when you need a refill). Great place to bring friends and family from out of town to show off one of the valley's finest breakfast restaurants. Cheers! read more

If we could give it no stars we would. Let's start with the customer service. The hostess was delightful with a sweet smile and attitude. A definite plus. It was a very busy day due to the holiday today. There was quite a wait. It would have been faster if they had staff to clear tables as soon as people left. Our waiter was prompt to come to our table as soon as we sat down, but it rapidly went downhill from there. He got our drink order wrong and blamed us for him not bringing it because he never heard us order it, even though he repeated it back to us. We waited over 35 minutes for our basic breakfast dishes. They were wrong as well. The food was lukewarm at best. We requested super crispy hash browns, they were barely brown and luke warm with no flavor. One order that was requested to have no dairy came covered in cheese. Another server took it back as our server didn't even bring it out. We literally had to flag him down to get a coffee refill. He did refill the tables around us, but totally ignored our table. He was too busy chatting with the next table about star wars helmets, etc. We asked for jam for our toast and muffin and never got it. His attitude bordered on rude. His name is Ray. There was not any follow up to see if we needed anything. We have tried the Griddle before. We hoped this time would be better...sadly this time was way worse. We will not be back. For 40.00 for two breakfasts and two coffees...is not a good value for your money. It was probably one of my worst dining experiences that we have had. We love to support local, but this won't be one of them. read more

Love this place. Visited twice while in town. Friendly service, food comes hot and quick. Would visit again for sure!

I ordered the crab cakes Benedict, and it was so awful it made me feel sick. After eating one crab cake I warned the waitress that the ingredients might be spoiled. Despite this, when the bill came, they only reduced my order by half. The Griddle has lost a loyal customer who has dined there at least ten times, spending over $50 per visit. They saved $10.50 today but lost my family's future business. It's disheartening because I used to love this place. For the record, I've never had to send back a meal before. read more

Not a bad place at all, but not the best in town. Only reason I came here was because Moe Joe's down the street had a 40 minute wait, while this place had no wait. Atmosphere / interior vibe inside is alright, can get a little loud at times, definitely not as cozy as Moe Joe's (IMO). Although there was no wait time, the service was slow, specifically when waiting for the food. The waitress and the younger guy we had serving us drinks & food were very nice and friendly. The food was alright, portions were kind of small for the price, and I wish they served country style potatoes rather than shredded hash browns, since the hashbrowns felt a little too greasy / rich after you ate them. One specialty item I ordered was the Blueberry pancakes (specialty because they only serve them on Sundays), and they were pretty good, although I wish they were served with some kind of blueberry or mixed berry type of syrup rather than maple (or maybe I had to request that?) and with built in walnuts or some other kind of nuts. I think the part I enjoyed most here was their cappuccino and latte (ordered both to compare). Still doesn't compare to the Konditorei Restaurant in Sun Valley OR Flying M Coffee Garage in Nampa, but the cappuccino here was kinda up there IMO. Also, the friendliness of the people here was one of the bigger pros for me. An area of improvement that would be nice to see is the reduced wait time for the food. Made me question if the no wait time for seating but the long wait time for food was even faster than just sitting it out in Moe Joes. Overall, can't give this place a 3 since in reality this place wasn't bad at all and I don't think that's fair, but can't give this place a 5 either, since I'm kind of stingy when giving out 5s. However, adding up the friendly service, the really good cappuccino, the pretty good blueberry pancakes, and the no wait time to sit, it's a 4. Just isn't a place that stood out to me, which kind of resulted in this semi uninspired review. Will I come back here, probably, but Moe Joe's is still the go to place in town (IMO), although the wait time recently on weekends is kinda getting annoying. read more

Long wait, good service. Yummy food, ask for the homemade raspberry jam, it's excellent! Was surprised at how big the restaurant was. It's deceiving from the outside. There was something for everyone, was a good choice! read more

I ordered the bacon burrito and got a flour tortilla with basically only canned beans, some eggs and about five bacon bits. The beans were cold. The side guacamole was brown. The food quality is not worth the prices charged. read more

Incredible food, excellent friendly service and expanded floor space!! Server Jeffrey is helpful and funny without being pushy. Special today was the peach stuffed french toast: awesome flavor and texture, generous for 2 to share!! Free parking, extensive menu choices. We love this regional family owned restaurant. You will too!! read more

We had the Pecan Encrusted French Toast, the Loco Moco and Coffee Mocha. The flavors and service were great. Normally I shy away French toast because they are too sweet, not these. The only downside was that the French Toast and Mochas were served warm, not hot. read more

Food was delicious and quick to our table. Our waiter's name was Jeffrey and he was pleasant and very informative about the plates. Coffee was delicious! read more

I have to say I was very disappointed in this place. After reading the 5-stars I was prepared to be overwhelmed with WOW, but not so. The staff here are absolutely great, and the decor was cute; however, due to the high ceilings and open floorplan, it was quite noisy, which is always a great bone-of-contention for me and my husband, as we enjoy place where we can talk and not have to yell at each other. Now on to the food, I had always wanted to try stuffed french toast and was excited to see they had it on the menu, but what I got was a slice of french toast (nothing to yelp home about either) with a slab of cream cheese and then another piece of french toast topped with the same table-top raspberry jam they had on the tables. It tasted okay, but like I said, I was expecting it WOW me and not taste like someone just put two pieces of Wonder bread in some egg dip and slap Philly Cream Cheese in between another slice with no whole fruit either inside or on top. Also, that was all it was....just 2 pieces with nothing more, no sausage, no bacon, very sad and I don't like leaving a restaurant still hungry (and I don't have a huge appetite). My husband had an omelette which was okay, but he said it was just that...OK. I will say their coffee was very good and because of that and the excellent service and staff, they get 3 stars. After paying the $25 bill (and still being hungry), I have to say this was very disappointing. read more

Best breakfast on our 7 day road trip! I had the Caribbean French Toast and hubby had the Almond Crusted French Toast, which was topped with mixed fresh berries. Both were amazing! We each made them a combo (added eggs over medium and bacon). The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was delicious! Caribbean French toast would be better with some sort of tropical topping or syrup (like the orange juice based syrup at Original Pancake House, but the sweet coconut was still delicious. Service was friendly and professional. Note: they are not honoring the 10% off deal on Yelp. Per the waiter "we have contacted Yelp to ask them to take it down". I sent the owner a Yelp message to let her know she needed to remove it. read more

One of the best breakfast places around! Great food and good service. Just wish they stayed open a little later on weekends. :)

The people are amazing that work here and the food is the best. I would recommend this place for breakfast.

Never miss out when in the Boise area! Full espresso bar, fresh specialties & killer jams! Omelettes, eggs, benedicts, cakes, crepes - everything is yumm! read more

Always a quick breakfast favorite for mid valley Boise. I love sitting at the counter. Wait staff is usually quick at the counter not so much at the tables. I like omelettes the best. I usually order a side of avocado but the last couple of times my avocado has not been ripe. read more

We did breakfast to go and I LOVED IT! Like, I wish I could have it daily. I ordered the Caribbean French Toast and it was amazing. I don't normally do sweet breakfast, but when I spotted this on the menu I had to give it a go! Glad I did. The staff was so friendly when we ordered and when we picked up. They had a lot of orders ahead of ours, but a 50 minute wait was totally worth it! read more

Love the pancakes and coffee!! Great fast service! Also the breakfast burrito are so amazing.

The Griddle is one of our main go-tos for breakfast! The food is consistently delicious and the staff is friendly and attentive!

Seriously not getting the long lines here. Not impressed. Purchased a Bloody Mary which the menu price was $8.00. Somewhat steep compared to other locations and not very good. Ended up being charged $12.00. What a scam. The waiter said other Griddle locations served BM's from a can and that they have a full liquor license and used "real" Idaho vodka. What a joke! I'd never pay $12 for a Bloody Mary unless it was one like a meal as at Homestead. The ham on the eggs Benedict was so tough I had to forcefully use knife not to mention the ham was flavorless. Definitely not worth the line, wait and quality is subpar compared to neighboring breakfast spots. read more

We were in town for 1 day and stopped by before we checked into our hotel. Great service. Nice outside area to eat too. Wait staff friendly, food wait time was long but food was perfect and hot when it arrived. Will go back! read more

Quiet honestly, the greatest service I have had in a very long time. Extremely friendly, generous and assuming of our needs. They went so far as to remake one of our friends food because he had to step out for a phone call and they didn't want his meal to be cold. Jeff should have his own podcast with how entertaining he is and Allie and Alexis should have their own spinoff in the style of Disney Channel's Ally & AJ. Food was good and they were able to make me a vegetarian eggs Benedict which was great! Mostly would be back for the great conversation and sweet demeanor. read more

Did a birthday brunch here for a friend. Food was delicious, I had the California Benedict and shared some pancakes. My friend who had the chilaquiles said his was pretty good but not the best. We shared mimosas and the service was great. Definitely coming back. read more

One of our favorite go to breakfast places. We have checked out a few "The Griddle" locations and this location did not disappoint. If you're going on a weekend, I would recommend going before 8:30am. It tends to get pretty busy on the weekends (especially between the hours of 9-10:30am). Don't worry though, hot coffee is available for everyone while you wait. They also have propane heaters out during winter to help keep you warm. One item that is new for my husband and I is their house made granola. I've had it with the yogurt or topping a crepe. Either way, it is delicious!!! Another item I enjoy ordering is their chilequiles. It has just the right amount of spice and is very filling. Mimosas are available if that is part of your brunch fun. The hot cocoa is also very yummy! read more

After a 30 minute wait we were seated, ordered breakfast quesadilla a and eggs with Canadian baca on. The quesadilla had little to no chorizo, very little green onions and no avocado. In fact it had little egg! The Canadian on was the best part of the breakfast! The ham was not jam but strawberry syrup. Honestly would have been better off at Jo Msmss or a chain (IHOP or Denny's!). Not worth it! read more

I really wanted to love this place because it has a nice atmosphere and it is conveniently located. I ordered the omelette with caramelized onions and goat cheese. It was a soggy mess and didn't have a good flavor at all. When I pointed it out to the server she sympathized but didn't discount it or anything. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy with two eggs and hash browns and a side of ham. The biscuit was dry and flavorless and the gravy was bland. The eggs and ham were perfect. The hash browns were a little undercooked. The kids' menu left much to be desired. The "hot cake," for example, is literally one hot cake with no side. Both my kids ordered two flavored hot cakes off the regular menu. I will say the hot cakes looked amazing and fluffy and wonderful. My son didn't touch his but I just don't think he was hungry. My picky daughter ate about half (so I guess the kids' order would have been fine!) but she really liked it. Improve your customer service and some of your food and maybe we'll be back. Meanwhile we'll stick with Shari's for family meals. read more

Looked for a place to grab some breakfast. Found this place. Wow, awesome! We had crepes (pecan and rasberry) also French toast (Texas toast!) and due to Mothers Day grabbed a Bloddy Mary and a carafe or Mimosa! But the real story as well is the service. Rey was out server. Talk about courtesy, knowledgeable and efficient! He suggested and was on the ball with taking care of us. I observed as he handled his other tables as well. He nailed it! And after watching the staff work together, the owner should be proud of the "team-like" atmosphere! Well done Griddle! In the words of the Terminator...I'll be back!" read more
