Stopped into Addie's today for some breakfast before I headed to work. I had some time in between my hospital visit and the job so grabbing breakfast sounded good. I never knew this little joint existed! Searched breakfast near me and this place popped up so I had to check it out. I was instantly greeted as soon as someone saw me. I picked a table by the window and got myself situated. I ordered coffee and it was brought out right away. I did check out the menu while I was waiting at the hospital so I knew what I wanted. I got myself the eggs and bacon breakfast with a side of fruit. It wasn't really busy so my food came out pretty fast. I asked my server for to go packets of salt and pepper since I can't really use the communal salt and pepper shaker due to my new kidney. My server was great, grabbed me a couple packets and didn't treat me like I was weird for asking. My eggs were cooked med and jammy in the middle. My bacon was salty and savory. My coffee was fresh and hot. It's the perfect breakfast for me. My side of fruit was ok. The banana was pre cut so it looked kinda funky since it probably had been sitting for a bit. My orange and apple slices looked good. I did just have a couple orange slices. I have to be careful with produce and I didn't know if the apples were properly cleaned so I didn't want to risk it. The apple slices liked fresh and I'm pretty sure they were good. The venue is very cute and bright. I love the chalk artwork on the blackboard. My server was really sweet and everyone else that was working was nice. My food was great. I look forward to coming back. Especially in the spring, they have a fun outdoor seating area. Breakfast or brunch would be great of there. read more

Great little breakfast spot off Broadway near BSU. Long ago was Marie's La Fiesta (some of the best Mexican food Boise has ever had! But that's another story). Super family staff. Quick service. And good food. I recommend this place for sure. read more

Addie's - Country benny. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I would still recommend if you're in the area. We typically stop here when we drop car off at Big O Tires. It's a nice neighborhood walk. Addie's won't blow you away but good food and nice atmosphere. Had Breakfast Burrito. Added pics for reference. It was ok, not terrible but could use a lot of improvement. I felt hash browns should've been cooked longer to add a crunch to it. Similarly the tortilla could be cooked a little more; not crisp but at least lightly browned to give that burrito taste. Sausage was on the light side, needed a bit more. Service was great as always. And food came out fast. read more

Addie's - Cute! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

We had a wonderful breakfast here a while back with my mom and my one-year-old daughter, who was quite the rascal. Our server and the entire staff were incredibly friendly and engaged her in playful interactions whenever they passed by. We had an amazing experience. read more

In the wee, early morning hours, before the sun has fully roused itself from slumber, there lies a tucked-away nook in the heart of Boise--a quiet, modest establishment christened Addie's, a name as unassuming as the diner itself. One might wander through the meandering lanes of the neighborhood, past the still houses, and find this humble refuge from the yawning abyss of day, a shelter for those in pursuit of sustenance that is at once frugal and fair, a rare commodity in these times of dear prices and stretched purses. The doors swing open, and within, a flood of light, natural and soft, pours through clean glass windows, casting an ethereal glow upon the humble domain. The tables and chairs, simple yet steadfast, stand in neat rows, awaiting the weary traveler or the early riser seeking solace in the routine comforts of breakfast. It is a place where the cacophony of the world outside fades, replaced by the symphony of clanging plates, the jangling of silverware, and the murmuring voices of patrons whose words intermingle with the sizzling melodies of short-order cooks, busy at their stations, conjuring meals from modest ingredients. There is no jukebox here, no mechanized minstrel to serenade you with tunes of days gone by. Instead, the air is alive with the organic music of the diner itself, the sounds of life in its most unadorned form--an orchestra of the everyday. The coffee, weak as a televangelist's 's tears, flows freely, it lacks the rich depth of flavor that might rouse a man from his reverie. Yet, the dark water is a small price to pay for the warmth it provides, a liquid comfort to accompany the simple fare set before you: eggs, toast, perhaps a strip or two of bacon, all affordable still, though the world outside may demand ever more for ever less. The servers, young and sprightly, are seemingly local students, their eyes bright with the promise of futures yet to be written. They move with a hurried grace, their voices devoid of the honeyed endearments of blue-haired matrons past, but there is a kindness in their efficiency, a youthful earnestness that forgives any lack of familiarity. They come and go, bearing plates and cups, weaving through the labyrinth of tables with practiced ease. Addie's is not a place of excess or pretense, but rather a bastion of simplicity and sincerity, a relic of a time when such virtues were more common, now tucked away in the quiet bosom of Boise's neighborhoods. And yet, it is not without its challenges. Parking is scarce, a precious commodity in this secluded corner of the city, a reminder that even here, in this pocket of peace, the world's demands cannot be fully escaped. But for those who find their way to Addie's, who step inside and take a seat amidst the chatter and clang, there is a sense of belonging, a feeling that in this diner, at least for a moment, one can be at peace with the world and all its noise. read more

Addie's - Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This place was horrible. French toast had raw eggs and was soggy. Bacon was so burnt, we asked for fresh bacon not cooked so much and it was even worse(literally crumbled apart). Biscuits and gravy were hard as a rock and the gravy tasted like they made it from a box. We got told when we walked in that "you can go sit in the back" no one showed us where that was or directed us to a table. The staff just seemed clueless about everything. read more

Love this place! It's like the 80's show Cheers ! Everyone get to know your name. Heidi the owner has more than 20 years of restaurant experience and it shows. Food comes quick, hot and just what you would expect. Easy parking and good people with a good vibe. Their menu is very reasonable in $. 4-8-2025 Update, just had their eggs Benedict ! Amazing and they do eggs so good. read more

Addie's - You will not be disappointed. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Adding another review five years later to say I still dream of these pancakes. I'm flabbergasted that there aren't more reviews talking about these pancakes. Every single time I have a conversation where pancakes are mentioned, I completely derail the conversation to talk about Addie's pancakes. Any time anyone tells me they're traveling to Boise, I tell them to eat the pancakes here. I have the address memorized. If there was an Addie's fan club, I would be the president and likely the founder. I have not lived in Idaho since 2017 or had the pleasure of eating there since 2018, but I will never forget these pancakes. I'm planning a trip to Boise this year and the trip WILL be planned around vicinity to Addie's. It does not get better than this. read more

Ordered this for breakfast this morning and I've been sick all day since. I had the French toast meal and I took a bite and an immediate taste of mold filled my mouth. I thought maybe it was just that bite but it was every bite (I didn't even eat a full half of a slice) the taste was so overpowering and it ruined it. I'm not sure what's used to cook with or if the bread was bad and nobody noticed but unfortunately I won't be trying it again. My boyfriend said his chicken fried steak was "meh" so overall not great. Was really hoping it would be good since we've read pretty good reviews but I'm disappointed. read more

I always love getting breakfast here. It's a quick walk from our house, and even when it's busy we get sat immediately. The food is always solid and the coffee hot. Not sure what else you could ask for. read more

Was really excited to try this place because of the vibes from outside, driven past it a lot, my boyfriend and I finally gave it a try today. Food looks and tastes like it was heated up left overs, and water tasted like it was straight from the tap. Really disappointing, and confident to say we won't be going back. read more

Normally this place is good hangover food. Nothing special but not bad. Last time completely changed that. Waiters were arguing over something so we didn't get service for about 45 minutes, food came out cold when it finally did, but for some reason the orange juice was hot. Massive thank you to the blonde waitress with the freckles for taking over for us and turning our experience around with quick service. read more

The food here is amazing. I'm always pleased to be seated right away...maybe I go during slow times???....the staff is friendly and energetic to help. The prices are fair and portion sizes are as well. It is good to see decent breakfast places downtown to help cure a night out of drinking. Parking lot is awkwardly shaped but the food makes the parking worth it! read more

Fantastic service. So friendly and sweet, the food was great and can't complain about the bottomless mimosas ‍

Horrible Service. After seating the waitress with the dark hair stated the kitchen was behind and food would be about 20 minutes, no problem. After 30 minutes she hadn't even taken our order so we decided to pay for the coffee and leave. Wasn't an issue we were just running out of time. The issue came when she yelled at my wife and said "I told you". Yes she told us it would be 20 minutes and food not even ordered after 30 minutes. On a side note all of the other workers were pleasant just not the girl with dark, straight hair. Bummed as we always like to support small businesses but this one definitely needs some work. Can't say how the food was because we never got to that part. Surprised this place has been able to keep 3 stars. read more

Great food & service; I have gotten in the habit of stopping in for brkfst several times a month

Nice folks working there. Food is pretty basic, but the place has potential. I like the hideaway location and old diner feel. Just need to level up the grub. read more

I'm trying to be fair here, but really, I did not have much of an experience to go on. I placed a called in pickup order, and I was slightly surprised when they did not take my name or phone number for the order. This proved to be a problem for when I arrived, I was told they did not have the item I had ordered after driving all the way to their location. If they had thought to ask for my phone number, they could have told me, and I would have been able to go somewhere else. I just waved goodbye and walked out. I found the exact same item I wanted at the Griddle restaurant, which was packed with happy holiday diners. Every table was full, but no less than 4 servers came up to greet me, including the owner/manager. See my review on their restaurant here. Would I go back to Addie's restaurant? Meh, I suppose that I would, if everything else was closed and I happened to be in the area. read more

Had a wonderful breakfast today at Addie's. I love the fact I can get a Ruben for breakfast. And it was so good. They use a combination of corned beef and turkey which made it unique and quite tasty. Their coffee is exactly perfect. As fir the service, Hayes was super great. I'd always wondered at this restaurant as I passed it on my way to a destination. During the summer it always seemed full and the customers were smiling as they enjoyed their meals outside on the patio. The vibe is why IMO. I hope to return soon. read more

Addie's - One half of my Ruben with coffee and water in it's To Go box for later. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Been wanting to try this place out for awhile now and I was craving waffles. Used to seeing the place with far more traffic but the day we visited it was easy to get into and half empty. We were able to get a seat right away for breakfast which was a surprise. My son and I ordered the waffles, and wife ordered the eggs and hashbrowns. About 10 minutes went by when my son and I were informed that the waffle maker was broken. No problem. I asked for the menus so we could order something else. Got those relatively quickly, but they didn't come back to take our order for another 10 minutes or so. We ordered different items when shortly after my wife received her dish, while ours wouldn't arrive until later; serving everyone at once is what I'm used to..... Kids working here appeared to be doing their best, but they need some proper leadership to help them along. Hopefully this was just a hiccup and they get these things worked out. read more

Good food. Decent coffee. Quick service. Hash was tasty with fresh mushrooms and peppers. No cutting corners. Being from the greater Seattle area it reminded me of home. I'd definitely return. read more

Addie's - Meat hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Nice owner, good location. Food good for the price. Not fussy, comfortable diner setting.

Food was just ok on this Saturday morning but service needs work. Extremely slow and disorganized.

This place is fantastic! Tremendous service, well, prepared food, and a very cool atmosphere! I am a traveler and occasional visitor, they treat me like I'm their best customer. The patio is dog, friendly, and you still receive attentive service. If I could take this place home with me, I totally would. If you live in Boise, or visit, you need to stop for breakfast or lunch at this place, you will be very glad you did. read more

Addie's - Millie loves Addie's and so do I!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

We really wanted to give this restaurant a try, having driven past it many times over the last several years. We met friends there this morning for breakfast. It was very clean and the service was good. There was some confusion regarding their hours as the sign out front says "Monday - Friday, Open to 10:00 am." However that apparently refers only to their breakfast special...although the way it is placed on the sign it makes you think they are referring to the restaurant hours. After reading quite a number of other reviews, I was a bit dubious but the other half wanted to try it. He ordered French toast but it was so cold the butter wouldn't even melt. I ordered a create your omelette with bacon, cheese, onion and avocado on top. When it arrived I couldn't find the avocado until I looked inside the omelette. Not big on cooked avocado, but I forged ahead. I had trouble cutting a bite sized portion with my fork and then realized there were HUGE chunks of onion that were not completely cooked...this was causing the problem with the fork. As I ate several bites I realized my "bacon" was that stuff you get out of a jar that is all crumbled into tiny bits. They must have used half a jar of this stuff and it tasted like sawdust. There was cheese, but very little of it. So I switched to the hash browns...which were a previously frozen slab at least an inch thick. They were barely cooked and again had no taste. Salt didn't even help. The picture below was taken when I stopped trying to eat this mess. When the waitress picked up my plate she never asked if everything was ok, even though clearly over half the omelette and hash browns were remaining on the plate. We paid over $12.50 for the omelette and I would expect for that price to get real bacon at least. Won't be going back. read more

We landed here by accident, having found our original destination closed on Sundays, and our second stop was too long a wait. Driving towards home, we happened upon Addies and they looked busy, so we decided to give them a try. From the friendly greeting we received upon entering, it was a surprisingly excellent experience. Our young waiter was well mannered, well informed, and made us feel like we were the most important guests in the place. He answered our many questions patiently, and assured us we were making good choices. Of course, we had many specific requests, as we are quite picky when we eat out. No problem. Our food came exactly as ordered, and was delivered very quickly. Nice and hot, cooked to perfection, and the high light for me in addition to all that? No old, stale grease taste on the eggs or the hash browns. That's rare. If I didn't know better, I'd say the hash browns were grilled in butter, not restaurant grease like ususal. Overall, we were delighted. We will be back! They offer the normal assorment of burgers, sandwiches, and breakfast items, but well prepared and at very resonable prices. Clean, simple decor, no music (which I love) and friendly, prompt service. A win win for those who want food they can't cook better at home. read more

Breakfast at Addie's yielded the worst meal I've ever eaten at a restaurant. I laughed when another reviewer said the cook didn't use any seasonings. That only happens on the restaurant rescue shows. Sadly, it was true here, too. Quick, someone call Robert Irvine or Gordon Ramsey before it's too late. In five and a half decades of living, I've never ordered chicken fried steak and have it come out as an oversized hamburger patty. But that's what Addie's serves. It took me a moment to figure out why it was black instead of golden brown. And neither it, nor the gravy that came with it, had been seasoned. I asked for a pancake instead of the eggs that normally come with that item. They were fine with the substitution but the pancake they brought would have fit onto a dessert plate just fine. The dinner plate just emphasized how tiny it was. I gave up two eggs for that? The server was underwhelming. She greeted me fine when I walked in and told me to seat myself, then proceeded to bring menus and take orders from a couple who came in after me before coming to me. Guess it's first in, last to order. Halfway through my meal, I told her that I hadn't received my toast. She gave me an "oh, oh," and rushed off to another table. Never did see that toast. Maybe it was better that way. She did come by later with a to-go box when she saw I hadn't finished the "chicken-fried steak." I said no. She didn't bother to ask if there was anything wrong with it. This was the original location of the Brick Oven Beanery, long a Boise institution. Too bad some of its luster didn't rub off on the owners of Addie's, now known as the worst breakfast joint in Boise. read more

Addie's - Chicken-fried steak made from hamburger. I had never seen that before in my life. Yeech. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Addie's is a great little downtown breakfast spot. Came here in the 11 o'clock hour on a Saturday and were seated immediately (nice!). I ordered their breakfast burrito (with sausage). I love a good breakfast burrito and this was good! It was ample and the sausage added a nice kick of flavor. Their house coffee is fine (diner quality--think Elf & the world's best cup of coffee from Zooey Deschanel's (Jovie's) perspective). The flavor doesn't move mountains, but it's palatable. The service was fast, friendly, and accommodating. And, the prices are quite reasonable. I think our breakfast for two came to less than 20 bucks (before tip). Get to it! read more

Great, quick seating and drink service. Chef made our plates surprisingly quick for being a one man team. Best part though was the food. My vegetarian eggs Benedict had the best hollandaise sauce, and amazing English muffin with a yolky egg. Unexpectedly good read more

Wow!! What a great local spot. We caught them today very busy and understaffed with a party of 10. It took close to an hour to finally get seated and have our order taken....but we have found our "in place". We had just finished playing Pickleball at Manitou Park which is a stone's throw away. Great food and PBR on tap!!! What's not to like. We will be back President Boise Pickleball Club read more

I really REALLY wanted to love this place. Brought my mom here while she was in town visiting about a month ago. I loved that it looked like we were having breakfast in an old friend's house, and my niece's name is Addie which is why we chose to check it out when we stumbled upon it. We were greeted by a server whose first words were "Are you guys ready?" I did appreciate that the menu is pretty big and there were a lot of options. I had the French toast was decent, nothing special. My mom had sausage and eggs and her eggs were ice cold. As in, not an exaggeration - they were so cold we wondered if they were in a refrigerator at some point. It was bizarre. I gave it 3 stars for the ambiance because I really love the laid- back atmosphere but I probably won't give it another shot because the food was nothing special. read more

Cozy restaurant & convenient location. Appeared to be understaffed. Our food came out fairly fast, but the English muffins for the Benedict's were not toasted. Our cream for our coffee was also curdled...had to send that back. Good hashbrowns though! read more

The food isn't much to rave about, but it will do. If you are are trying to hold on to your youth and miss being around a bunch of dummies talking about the night before. THIS IS YOUR PLACE. As friendly as the staff is keep them at arms length. Some shady things going on here. Honest opinion you're better off hitting up IHOP. read more

Went here twice and both times they forgot to put in our order and we ended up waiting for an hour. We gave the young college boys running the place the benefit of the doubt the first time but the second time we had no more excuses for them. Employees were vaping in the corner and plates of food were just sitting at the counter getting cold not being served. Didn't refill water or coffee and took away plates before people were done eating. It got to the point where the service was so bad it was comical. HOWEVER the food is great. I love their breakfast burrito and scrambles. I think if you hit this place at an off time you can have a good meal and the staff isn't overwhelmed. I think they just need a better manager or system to help their employees with efficiency and organization. Sadly we will not be back because of the terrible service, at least not at prime brunch time. read more
