I have never been a big fan, but I know people who just love The Griddle. IMHO, it is way overpriced and overrated. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is outstanding, but they are proud of it. The pancakes seem bitter to me and have an aftertaste that is not pleasant. But hey, it's just one person's opinion. read more

I've been coming here for 3 years at least twice a week. Great food, skilled and caring servers. These people work hard. Everyone should be aware of that. There is no other place in Nampa for breakfast or lunch that compares. read more

The Griddle - Normal busy day at the Griddle. It's worth the wait - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

I came here with high expectations after seeing suggestions and reviews. I was a little disappointed though. I got the MO's potatoes or something like that. I will say it was tasty, but for $14 I think I expected a better portion and was thinking I'd walk out with some for later. It came with a single slice of toast that odd toasted on only one side? And no butter? I don't eat eggs and asked if I could sub something. I was told they won't sub eggs, and didn't discount. It was a super bummer. Service was ok. I had an empty coffee cup. Maybe they need more help? Please note the prices on the menus posted here have increased significantly in the actual restaurant. read more

The Griddle - Not worth $14 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Crab cake Benedict. Not too bad. Not very flavorful. It is lacking something just not sure what. I like my hashbrowns crisper but I didn't ask for that. The menu has amazing sounding items. I'll be back! They were busy and it was pretty loud. They cleaned the tables off quickly and it is seat yourself today. read more

Had the Eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes and gravy, the wife had biscuits and gravy, and we figured let's get the pecan cinnamon roll. I had some fresh squeezed orange juice and she had a caramel latte. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were amazing, and I look forward to coming back! read more

We visit either the Nampa and Meridian locations about once a month. They consistently have friendly service and great food. Always worth the visit! read more

Oh yes- it was good- really good! Their coffee is excellent, service was pretty good even though it was a busy morning, and the food did not disappoint! I got the gravy train potatoes which were hashbrowns with cheese, sausage, bacon and gravy. I subbed the toast for a pancake and it came with 2 eggs- perfect cooked over medium. I asked for their scratch made jelly with the pancake and YES it was delicious. My breakfast buddy got the country Benedict with gravy, sausage and egg served on a biscuit. I heard no complaints. I'll be back to try their chicken fried steak- they were out by the time we ordered. read more

Been to this place many times, and it's still one of my favorite local breakfast joints. That being said, they can be inconsistent when service gets slammed and the kitchen seems to get in the weeds. In general, the food does not disappoint, and the quality is very good. Have the french toast or pancakes here and you'll never go back to IHOP again. However, it seems lately when they get busy that food preparation, properly seasoned and cooked food, can suffer. I would not usually hesitate to recommend this place, but I'd say stay away from it during the weekend brunch hours. Just as a point of information, since we are in the waning days of COVID, the place maybe should evaluate their HVAC a little, because when the restaurant is full the air quality is not good. That's not only of concern for COVID but also anybody who worries about respiratory issues. read more

The Griddle - Air quality not good during busy times. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

We came here under false advertising. The Yelp listing says they have "Fish and Chips." That is simply not the case. However, they do have one fish dish, Crab Cake Benedict, which isn't going to do it. So we settled for French Dip plate and their Taco plate. The service was excellent even though the place was completely full. Friendly faces are always welcome. The food was prepared quickly and served hot. We enjoyed everything and will add this to our list of good places to eat, but not when we want Fish & Chips. read more

I have worked in food distribution and have sold food to prisons, the quality of food I received was worse. This is by far the worst breakfast of my life, the cook they have in early mornings on weekends needs to be removed as he clearly is incompetent or does not care. Our orange juice was pressed clearly from looking in the back at their juice machine from severely underripe, visibly green oranges in the back. They clearly should not have been accepted from the distributor, nor should we have been charged 4.25 for a small glass of it. My potatoes were raw, eggs were over-cooked cooked. My huevos rancheros had bean juice, no actual beans but just the gravy of juice mixed with a purée of salsa that looked filled with clippings from various discarded cuts from the kitchen. Served with a single untoasted oversized burrito tortilla. It looked like a kids TV dinner from the 90s and tasted worse. My fiancé received a Benedict that was better but had under cooked eggs and a presentation slopped on so badly it looked like a soupy mess with very little semblance of a Benedict, she didn't say much but ate about a 1/3 her plate before calling it quits and later told me she only ate as much to not make me feel bad, while I didn't return the food and walk out to not embarrass her. A dining experience shouldn't be suffering for each other. We were one of only two table sat in the entire restaurant and the cook spent about 5 minutes preparing our food looking rushed to get back to talking to coworkers. As a former line chef and expediter that is inexcusable especially for the grotesque cost of the meal given the quality. This used to be a nice place, I'm now going to be warning my friends and family away as in the last few months this place has gone not down hill, but full on jumped off a cliff. read more

I don't like that you can't get the lunch menu all day, not everyone has a normal sleep schedule.. It's not that their food is bad it just isn't for me and I normally do like breakfast food. That's why I want to try the rest of the menu but we only ever go in the morning after work so I'm stuck with breakfast. My girl loves the chilaquiles though. read more

An 18 percent tip added to the bill without any authorization. I always leave cash so the server did well that day. Nothing about this place was special in any way. Won't be going back. read more

We were driving from Colorado to Oregon and decided to get some pancakes and bacon to go. The most delicious and fluffy pancakes I have ever had at a restaurant. The bacon was cooked perfectly, we ate everything quickly and I forgot to take photos. We will definitely eat at The Griddle next time we are going through Nampa again. read more

Waitstaff was super nice. The loco moco was decent. Wasn't the same as the food trucks in Hawaii but didn't expect it to reach that height. Food was reasonably priced and portions large. read more

This place is great! They serve lattes etc. the server was awesome. Our waitress Cara B. was awesome , cheerful and very pleasant. Very accommodating! We've been to the other location in Boise and they are the same. We will definitely come back! The restaurant is retro and very cool! read more

Great breakfast place that has good food and good selection of breakfast options. I ate here twice and the food was really good both times.

Wry good. Had the crab cake Benedict. No complaints and I ate it all so that says something. Every came out quick and hot.

We had a breakfast and a party melt. Both were great. Service was great and food was delivered promptly. Nice cafe with counter service and generous size booths. Sara says we'll be back. read more

This place started good I used to like it alot. The quality has gone down hill quite a bit. This morning I got an all meat omlette which was scrambled eggs in the shape of a half circle overcooked. The Hasbrowns were undercooked and luke warm and the toast was a bit to charred. On top of it my plate felt a little greasy and not quite cleaned right. For a $20 breakfast I expect something of higher quality, there are better breakfast spots in the area for much less. I would save your money and try another out first untill they fix some of their quality issues. read more

Came here while visiting family and I'm glad we did. We were quoted 20 minutes for a wait and only waited about 10 minutes. The service was fantastic and the food was too. So glad we came here and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area. read more

My husband and I stopped here for breakfast while getting new tires put on my vehicle. It's a cute little spot that was very busy. We didn't have to wait too long. The service was great but the food left a little to be desired. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my husband got biscuits and gravy. The hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict had very little flavor, the biscuits were dry, and the gravy had very little flavor as well. Willing to give it another try, but will definitely not be getting those items again. All in all it was a pleasant experience, just a little disappointed in the food we ordered. read more

The Griddle - Eggs Benedict with hash browns. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Way to expensive, cost me $45 for me and my kid to eat‍. Service was okay though. Pancakes taste funny too.

UPDATE: Went back with a different friend, this time during the week, around 1 pm. I ordered the same dish, except over easy eggs and added a sausage patty for more meat in my gravy. The food was better, eggs especially. The service was a little better, I had to get up and grab the sugar packets at the coffee station. Never enough napkins. I think they were short handed, waitress seemed over-worked. We got coffee refills twice without asking and someone stopped by to make sure we were good. It was a little quieter, but personally I like a place that's cozier. My friend had raspberry blintzes that were swimming in sauce, she loved it. Anyway, I gave it one more star but if I were choosing the spot to eat, it would be elsewhere, read more

First time in Idaho and was looking for a good brunch spot and I ended up here! I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. Let me tell you, once you walk in you're greeted by everyone. All the staff has a bright smile on their faces and you're offered drinks and given menus right as you've sat down. Our server was very fast and super understanding with my order (I can be picky sometimes) she didn't hesitate nor make any exceptions towards it. When it came to checking in on us she was on top of it and we didn't even have to ask for refills. Our food came out within 5 mins and the restaurant looked and was very clean. Will definitely be back once again! read more

New favorite breakfast spot! We had the corned beef hash with eggs and toast, dad's hot cakes, peaches and cream crepes, and coffee with baileys. Everything was absolutely delicious!! We went in on a busy Saturday morning and only waited 15 minutes for a table. The wait wasn't long at all for our food either. The staff were friendly and very efficient. We will definitely be going back! read more

Nothing exceptional as far as breakfast goes, but there aren't many breakfast options in Nampa, so I'd take it. A classic look, meshed with a rustic look. Sort of giving off 50's vibes. Food comes in a wide varieties, but be warned-they are only open until 2:00 PM and only serve breakfast and lunch. I would recommend their Scrambled Eggs, and their Hot Cakes. Simple, yes, but this may be the best items on their menu. However, I am concerned with the COVID protocols at this place. They cram people into small booths and seat people close together. Also, the servers don't wear masks, and I would say this place is acting like COVID doesn't exist, which, as cases rise along with the delta variant, I honestly think this place needs to reconsider their safety standards. read more

Was disappointed with this restaurant. The food was less than mediocre and the service was about the same. Thanks but no thanks! Too many other restaurants to choose from in the area read more

A pleasant surprise! My wife, being a chef, had heard a lot of great things about this place from some of her co-workers. When we walked in, we saw a sign reading seat yourself, which can be bad if they aren't paying attention, but Bailey took less than a minute to greet us. She was great at taking care of us. She was attentive. but not overly it was a great balance. My coffee was never empty. I ordered the Golden Gate sandwich, and my wife ordered the crab cake Benedict. My sandwich was perfect if not a bit too spicy for me. But you could taste the pepper jack was of good quality. I was amazed by the parmesan crusted bread on the sandwich. I didn't try any of my wife's crab benedict, but she said it was really, really good, and the yoke was actually flowing like it should. We came in near closing time but never could tell by the quality and care that was put into crafting our food. We will definitely be back. read more

Great breakfast!! I had the pecan crusted French toast. Yummy! Nice people and nice atmosphere.

Phenomenal restaurant in Nampa and perhaps the best breakfast option in town. Highly recommend you sit at the counter/bar area! This was not my first experience with The Griddle. I have visited their Meridian location many times before but this was my first experience at their Nampa location. Definitely was not disappointed with my experience. Visited on a Sunday around lunch time with a wait time of 15 minutes. However, we saw two spots open at the counter/bar area and took advantage of that opportunity. It was quite obvious that this location was new since there was a lot of scrambling but the service staff seemed like they were in control. Since we sat at the counter/bar, we had our own waitress help us out, take our orders, and immediately deliver our food all in a matter of a couple of minutes. My coffee cup was never empty which I really appreciated. Highly recommend the Breakfast Burrito and the Peach Crepes. Serving size of the Breakfast Burrito is just perfect and the hash browns served with the meal are enough to fill you up. If you're still not full, go for the Peach Crepes which for me personally is the best dessert breakfast option on the menu. Left feeling extremely content and satisfied with my meal decision. I would like to caution that this place is still pretty new. This simply means that there are a lot of folks coming in to check this new spot out for the first time which can make for a long wait. My advice is to try to come a little before or after typical meal hours in order to avoid the huge rush and long waiting lines. Overall, great experience and happy that Nampa now has a restaurant with quality breakfast. read more

My favorite breakfast restaurant right here in my hometown, Nampa! Adorable, bright decor. Quick friendly service without being rushed. Good coffee, lots of refills. Fresh squeezed orange juice! Several Eggs Benedict options. Berries in the fruit cup! Great parking lot. Fun kids menu. Geez, maybe I should keep this gem to myself read more

Good not Great. You can't put a price on friendly, great service. They've got that, in spades. We went in on Memorial Day, 2023. My one nephew was overjoyed with the pecan french toast, the other was happy with the quinoa something or other( that he didn't know he ordered) and my wife was happy with her custom omelet, but frankly my Eggs Benedict was a let down. Try something else. The eggs were overcooked. The hollandaise was obviously from a mix. It had an unnatural glow in color and far too sweet and tart to be made by a human being. They bragged about the Canadian bacon they use, but I had to spit half of it into a napkin. The busboy got the muffins. Anyway...the service was great. Sevyn is a character and he knows his business. read more

I've been a few times now and yesterday was not a very good experience. 1. The waitress forgot the salt on both bloody Mary's and one celery was so wilted it was flopped over on the glass. 2. Breakfast was delivered and we were not offered salsa, Tabasco, ketchup and when we asked, the waitress forgot to bring them. No jam or jelly with breakfast until we asked for them 3. Our waitress was delivering food to the next table over when she placed her full tray of food on to our table to hand out their food from our table. 4. We had a half of a drink left when our waitress cleared our table including our napkins so we had nothing to use while finishing our Bloody Mary. 5. No straws were offered or delivered. The items we selected yesterday were not the best, though saw a few items delivered that we would order next time instead read more

Maddie is the best server. She is so sweet and you can tell she works so hard! The food was great, will be back soon!

Awesome breakfast. I have been here multiple times and at different locations. I am always impressed with the service. It fills up quickly, so get there early. Has a full diner vibe. Love it. read more

This place was AWFUL. My mom and I both got the California Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was disgusting, separated and runny. I have never had hollandaise that bad. The orange juice was warm and tasted off. The hash browns were overcooked and hard to the point of being chewy. When we asked for a substitute dish, we got their famed bacon and pecan French toast to share and it honestly just tasted burnt and dry, as if they purposely gave us a horrible replacement to retaliate. We were met by rudeness and passive aggression from both the waitress and the manager. They refused to take off the other horrible Benedict and argued with us about how much we ate of our disgraceful dishes. My mom said this was one of her favorite breakfast places, but for her that changed today. Truly we should have gotten a refund but the manager doubled down and showed no empathy or interest in our experience. Worst breakfast I've had in my life, would never come here again. I don't recommend this place to anyone, unless you happen to enjoy bad food. I would give no stars if that was possible. read more
