    Hard to go wrong with breakfast at The Griddle! And the organization at this Nampa location was impressive! There was a long line, but we were added to the waitlist with our cell number and received an instant confirmation that we were officially on the list. The estimated wait time was 25 minutes, but it was closer to 15. Isis was our server at the counter, and she was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The hardest working guy in the restaurant was checking every single order as it came out of the kitchen to ensure it was perfect, then he called out the server's name for pick up. Like I said, impressive! I loved my combo number four with a waffle, eggs, ham. And my mom always gets the French toast--thick and delicious. Fresh squeezed orange juice was a nice treat today too. We'll be back!

    An older diner that delivers some great breakfast. Retro booths, tables and stools at the counter. Lots of antique stuff hanging up. I ordered the biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs. It comes with some really crispy hash browns. The eggs were great, soft and fluffy with no browning. The plates were warm, a big plus for me, since it keeps the food hot. The biscuit was fresh and the gravy good and creamy. First time I have been in the place and will be back,. Christina did a nice job.

    I love this little spot for breakfast and brunch! We come here pretty often, and clearly so does everyone else because there's almost always a line It's such a cute place with a retro, sunny vibe that just makes you happy to be there. Every time we visit, the service has been great. The servers are always friendly and on top of things, even when it's busy. On our most recent visit, we ordered the Crabcake Benedict (which is homemade/I always ask for the Hollandaise on the side), Hawaiian Loco Moco, + a 3-stack of hot pancakes. Everything was delicious, as usual but I love love love their pancakes! We truly enjoy our food each & every time-- it's one of those dependable spots you can count on for a solid breakfast.

    A very local, Homie, feeling to the place And come hungry because the portions are large We started out with a pecan cinnamon roll as an appetizer for three of us Once our food arrived, we were glad Weed had something sweet to start the meal as we would not have had room afterwards Great service also

    Our server was incredible! She was on top of refilling our coffee and water, there was plenty of seating. The food was yummy! and it came out pretty fast too! It was a little on the pricey side... they're partnered with the Idaho food bank and also get their meat from a local co-op

    We had to find our own seats, and the only available booth wasn't very clean, but we decided to sit there anyway. The place was quite busy, so we waited patiently before anyone noticed us. Eventually, our server came over, cleaned our table, and brought us some coffee--she was excellent. My dad ordered the flavored blueberry hotcakes; they were smaller and had fewer blueberries compared to the ones at the Winnemucca Griddle. I chose the number 1 combo with eggs, bacon, and a huckleberry crepe, which was delicious. I definitely recommend! The service was outstanding.

    Great experience at The Griddle in Nampa. My daughter and I had trouble deciding on where to go for breakfast as we had come from Bend, Oregon the day before, and needed a good start of the day. We are so glad we picked The Griddle. We each had the Raspberry Crepe Combo. My daughter also had hash browns added to her plate and they were fantastic. The Crepes were so flavorful and the accompanying eggs and bacon were perfect. Christina was our server and she was so friendly and timed everything excellently. The décor is great. Love the old school feeling, and we will definitely return on our next visit to Nampa.

    We both got the combo, one with the toasted coconut French toast and the second with the pumpkin pancakes with a mouse inside.

    While it was good, it wasn't $49 good IMHO. The servings were pretty small. I don't think I'd go again.

    So glad we decided to try out the griddle. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the mimosas were fantastic. The restaurant has a nice diner vibe to it. Make sure to ask about their weekly specials!

    I've come here enough times with my son to be called a regular. Figure it was time to write a review. The staff are always great at what they do. I've been working on trying different food items on the menu and I haven't been disappointed yet. I love the stained glass everywhere in the restaurant. So cute.

Payten was our server, and she did a great job of taking care of us. Don't know what it would be like during the busy times. My wife ordered a Chicken Shawarma sandwich, and I got the Chicken Shawarma bowl. My wife liked the sandwich, and I enjoyed the bowl. Nicely seasoned chicken with a base of salad and Safron rice. Very filling, too. Also, their fries are very good. They are seasoned well and crispy, just the way I like them. We will definitely be back. Good, healthy food at a reasonable price, in a nice atmosphere. My only negative is that the AC was on cold enough for both of us to wish we had brought coats.

Honestly, the menu has so much to choose from it's almost overwhelming. I love that you can sample whatever soups you want before ordering. And the sandwiches come in half or full so if you don't want a big meal, there's still something for you. My mom had the Reuben melt with tomato basil soup and I had the grilled pastrami and cheese with broccoli cheddar soup. We both were quite pleased with our meals. The service was friendly and the food came out faster than we expected. Both sandwiches had crusty melted cheese all around the edges which was so yummy. With so many options on the menu, we will definitely be back to try more.

We…read morewere instantly welcomed, even though the place was a mad house of screaming, unsupervised young children and several large groups. This isn't a large dining area but it magically was able to accommodate all of these people. The menu is a tad overwhelming, with so many options of everything from sandwiches, teas, smoothies, coffee, breakfast options, salads and soups. I would strongly suggest checking out the website prior to coming in only because making a decision from the menu takes some time. A lot of people just stood there struggling with their internal debates over what to eat. We ordered the grilled cheese with chicken sandwich and the chipotle turkey cold sandwich as a combo (with chips and a regular sized drink). The prices overall are great, especially the combo, considering the size of portions. Just a large drink alone is $2.99 but the combo is also $2.99, which makes for a reasonably affordable meal. The food came out shockingly fast...it almost didn't seem possible to see our food within moments of sitting down at the table. The grilled cheese was steaming, with freshly grated cheese melted to perfection. The grilled chicken was nicely encased in the cheese. However, after a few moments the cheese started to "coagulate" and it was not as fun to eat. It would be better if there was some sauce inside, the chicken was seasoned or a tomato, just something to break up the richness and tone down the heaviness. Overall, we deeply appreciated the fresh cheese but the sandwich was pretty bland. My chipotle turkey sandwich was huge....way larger than I expected. It was stacked with thinly sliced fresh turkey, tender crisp tomatoes, shredded lettuce and chipotle mayo. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and delectable, though I could not taste any chipotle flavor. Chip selection was great and love that they have Coke products so I could enjoy a Diet Coke.

The lobby was the lone plus because it's well furnished; likely due to the corporate budget, but a nice lobby doesn't make subpar food worth it. Unless you feel like some lemonade it's probably not worth the stop.

    We have frequented this location every time we've visited a Habit location in the past 4 years…read more(close to 20 times) and I honestly can't believe I haven't written a review. I've read a lot of reviews on Yelp and I can't say that I've ever experienced poor or rude service, but there have been several inconsistencies from receiving overcooked burgers, undercooked fries or having to wipe down our table to eat. That said, these issues happen, sometimes more often than others, but not enough times to ward off future visits. There was a small line to order when we arrived, so we ordered through the kiosk without issue. This actually prompted others to order through the kiosk as well. After ordering, we walked up to the register to get our drink cups and were quickly greeted by a smiling, lovely employee who promptly gave me our cups. I ordered the new Parmesan chicken club, which unfortunately does not come in a combo...so I ordered the 50/50 (fries and onion rings) and my husband had the charburger with cheese combo. Our food came out quickly and looked stunning! The cheese was melted around the grilled chicken, the bacon was crispy, ingredients were fresh and the bread was toasted to perfection. My only disappointment is that the 50/50 is almost $5 as a side....and I felt like there wasn't enough fries and only 4 small onion rings. Fries were mostly undercooked as well. However, the sandwich was absolutely delicious. My husband's charburger tasted great, but was a tad disappointed as the burger patty was much thinner than other visits. It was almost $34 for lunch and we almost feel like we didn't get our money's worth. Overall, our visit was nice (loved the "habit" radio station...great music!), most of the food was great and the service was super friendly.
