Moe Joe is always a great little spot for brunch! My best friend and I have been here before, and…read morewe're definitely creatures of habit because we usually order the same thing every time I get the French toast, eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee, and she pretty much gets the same. The food is always good, fresh, and satisfying, and it's a nice casual place to grab breakfast or brunch. The service is great ! My only complaint is the flies! There always seem to be quite a few flying around, and sometimes you feel like you have to fight them for your food. LOL! I really wish they could find a way to get that under control because it definitely takes away from the dining experience. Other than that, we enjoy coming here. Good food, good brunch spot, and clearly we like it because we keep coming back!

Have you ever returned to a restaurant and think to yourself, "Why in the world have I not come…read moreback here sooner." That is the thought I had when we sat down at Moe Joe's. This place is phenomenal and seriously one of the best breakfast places in all of Idaho. I hesitate to say that because there can definitely be a wait because of its popularity, but facts are facts. My wife and I went to Moe Joe's for breakfast recently and man was it good. I ordered the chicken fried steak and was stunned at the amount of food. Where to start. The steak was incredibly tender and enormous. The homemade biscuit was flaky and perfectly baked. The sausage gravy was meaty and flavorful. And the crispy hashbrowns seemed to cover half the plate. Then there are the house-made jellies. Who does that and how can I get more! The service was prompt and friendly with a great wait staff that made everything easy. The vibe of the restaurant is "friendly neighborhood spot" and feels like home. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. These folks know how to do breakfast right and I cannot wait to go back.

I'd call ahead and get your name on the list as it's quite popular and lots of people eat here. So, we had a group of four. The chicken fried steak was very good with gravy and huge portion. Good luck finishing it. I had corned beef hash unlike any I've ever had. The corned beef as in thin strips with no fat and all taste and fresh. The pancake will most assuredly will be the biggest you've ever seen. It's fluffy and done just right! We went on a Friday. It appeared the place had more tables available around the lunch hour. The wait staff was serving us throughout meal. Checking in regularly. Topping off the coffee and asking about our meal. Next time we visit will try their lunch. Not very often where you eat somewhere and don't find something that falls short or disappoints you. Well nothing but KUDOS! For this place. Also, I noted a party of 18 nearby and they were all served and monitored throughout their meal. Give it a try. This is best corned beef I've ever had

Joe Momma's is a go to and we typically love it. Service is friendly, prices are ok and the food is…read moregood. (I mean, some of it is greasy and the syrup is gloopy and a bit nasty-- it's better if it's warm-- but overall the food is good). So before I tell you the BIG issue at Joe Momma's, let me first set the scene. JM's looks like a misty mountain cabin come to life. River rock and pinecone and foliage lanterns greet you as you walk up ... log walls and a massive stone fireplace whisper of times gone by as you enter, and hens adorn the dark wood walls. You could easily picture the Fellowship of the Ring sitting in a booth across from you. It's truly charming. So what's the problem with Joe Momma's? The music! It's AWFUL and completely bizarre given the atmosphere of the restaurant. But hey, if blasted mid-2000's Rihanna and Katy Perry songs on a loop (we counted more than 4) is your idea of a good time at 8:30am on a Saturday morning in a log cabin, then you'll love it. I have a feeling Samwise and Frodo would not though and neither did we. The music is loud, very loud. And sounds more like an LA radio station playing Pop's Top Hits from 19 years ago. Which would be okay, I guess, if the energy of the restaurant matched it-- you know, modern architecture, crisp lines, sleek furniture and color design-- think Snooze in Scottsdale, Az which is basically a breakfast night club. But alas, Joe Momma's is beloved because of the misty mountain feel. The upscale Cracker Barrel vibe. The charming, rustic beauty. And the abrasive, bad pop music ruins the whole thing. It's is truly so freaking weird! Maybe they could keep the Pop for the lunch rush, but PLEASE Joe Momma's, for the love of Frodo, leave breakfast alone and come up with a playlist that matches your beloved establishment!!

It's been a few years since I have been to Le Peep. My family wanted to have brunch here so we all…read moreheaded in. My daughter and nephew arrived first and got us a cozy booth. They got lemonade and orange juice while waiting for my husband and I to arrive. After we got settled in, an apple juice and cold brew was ordered. My husband's juice got dropped off first. It did take a minute for my cold brew to arrive. I got a sugar free vanilla cold brew with some half and half on the side. I don't know who is in charge of making their cold brew but what I got was not cold brew. The coloring had no depth or richness to it. It looked like a very watered down americano. Cold brew is rich in color and bold in flavor. Colorful and bold was not this drink. I usually add a few portions of half and half to cut the bitterness of the coffee but I needed only 2 for my watered down mess. So, for 4 bucks or so, it was not worth it thier version of a cold brew For brunch I got the Omni omelet with peasant potatoes. My husband got a cinnamon roll to start and pancake sammy. The kids also got the country fried steak and the lobster Benny. For my daughter and I, we both got a side of country gravy for our potatoes. My husband and I started off with the cinnamon roll. It was heavily topped with frosting which was great! The cinnamon roll was good but you can tell it was not fresh. After being spoiled by local bakeries in town that sell fresh cinny rolls, you know when they aren't fresh. And that's the situation in this case. The texture of the cinny roll was not fluffy and airy. My omelet was good. It was loaded with all the goodies inside. The potatoes were lacking color to them. It looked like a pile of semi seasoned steamed potatoes. I got a little ramekin of gravy. Probably the smallest portion of country gravy I have ever been given. These ramekins are used for ketchup or pancake syrup so to have my side of gravy be served in this was humorous. My husband's pancake sandwich was not a sandwich. It was two huge plate size pancakes with bacon and eggs on top. I guess when you have a description of pancake sandwich that doesn't look like a sandwich, it will throw your customers off. We received our bill and as usual, I looked over the check. I know there's a charge for country gravy, it's like paying for any other extra. Please tell me why a small portion of country gravy at this joint is 2.50?!? The ramekins used are 2 Oz. It holds that much pancake syrup. Mind you, with a denser fluid like country gravy, it's more like 1.7ish oz of gravy. Like what!?! So, 5 bucks for less than 4 oz of gravy is what y'all charge for gravy. I asked the hostess about the charge and of course she directed me to a manager, as she should. The manager needed a hug and a smile. Before even having any type of interaction with her, she looked miserable walking through out the dining area. So you can only imagine how happy she looked when she approached our table to talk to me. She told us the following. "You are charged for the first portion of gravy. But if you want a second portion, it's complimentary." Well, why not give the customer the full amount of what they are paying for? So I'm paying for half of what I'm getting? Why was I not informed about this so called complimentary portion? Our server did not tell us nothing about this complimentary side. So basically, you're ripping customers off with these small side charges. Not letting your guests know about this invisible complimentary secondary portion. Mind you, you were going to make 5 bucks off of less than 4 oz of gravy. That 5 bucks increases the percentage of the servers tip and you're profiting off of gravy which is pennies to make. You add that to as many tables through the day, week, month and year.... I can only imagine how much extra your business is gaining. After the manager was so kind of admit that she was wrong about having two portions of gravy being charged, I would advise her to get her info correct before coming at a guest. I have been in the food industry way too long to have any kind of bs thrown my way. Our server never filled up my nephew's lemonade. Was gone for long periods of time. Honestly, it was busy but it's never that busy to check up on your guests, to make sure their drinks are filled and that they are OK. So, for almost 90 dollars, I believe it was not worth having brunch here today.

The eggs were actually poached perfectly. Seriously, my mouth is watering just reflecting on the food. The toasted single ciabatta is something that I liked versus a couple English muffins. The smoked ham a tad salty but paired with the hollandaise very well. Ripe tomatoes. The greens for a side was my choice versus potatoes. I'll have to try the potatoes next time because this day was going to be hot and smokey, so I needed to keep it light. I drink coffee black, and the coffee was really good. On the service, as some have complained about, I can't really speak to that. I went in before work, so I was there at 7. By the time I left at 7:45, two more tables came in and one had already left. 9 or 10am on a Sunday is probably different. So the service was good for me. The decor was an updated nautical theme that I seen before. A few decades ago, I went to a First Watch in a land far away. When it was brought to the Boise area, I thought it would be interesting to have that seasonal approach option compared to fixed menu Cisco approach. And if you're good with a standard pancake, maple flavored syrup, a couple slices of bacon, and two plain scrambled eggs - do that. If you like something interesting, First Watch.

This proved to be the best breakfast experience we've had in years. Before you question this - we'll start with the service. Our server was cheerful, knowledgeable and just a pleasure to speak with. She listened to my friend, who wanted a fancy coffee, and made him a s'mores coffee that wasn't too sweet but very flavorful. My friend ordered an omelette, which was outstanding on its own. But it didn't come close to being on the same level as the breakfast enchiladas. The red sauce was flavorful and paired so well with the cheese and egg filling. And the hash browns are coarsely grated fresh potatoes with the perfect crust. Honestly, I was a little sad when the meal was over. I'm sure everything on the menu is great - but do yourself a favor and get the breakfast enchiladas. You will not be disappointed. It's probably a good thing we don't live nearby - or I'd need a gym membership because I'd be eating here at least 3x a week.

There were onions all over the table, and to top it off, my chair was sprinkled with onions too. I came for breakfast, not to marinate like a pot roast. Needless to say, not a breakfast place I'd choose again.

I'm not really in favor of having to give your cell phone number to feed into their app so you know when your table is ready, but there you have it. The inside is pretty cool if you are into that "converted warehouse" feel of exposed beam crossed with a country kitchen feel. Tables aren't crammed together, definitely a sense of space. There are booth options as well. And as I prefer, no TVs. There were 2 groups of 14 that were served during our visit, so they can definitely accommodate larger parties. Our server rarely checked in, took 10 minutes to refill coffee after we requested a top off (she forgot), and never ended up refilling out water. The coffee we did get was good though. As always, I'm a hollandaise connoisseur as the foundation for perfect Benedict - my go to breakfast item. So I asked for a sample before I ordered, and I'm glad I did. The Griddle's hollandaise was curious. It was clearly about 25-50% powdered mix (which tastes like nasty beef gravy) with the balance being added clarified butter and a very strong dose of lemon. It was marginal, but good enough. So, I went with the crab cake Benedict. The crab cakes were a bit "fishy," so the strong lemon flavor was a plus. After flagging down our server, I requested a new poached egg as one of them arrived hard boiled. (I want runny yolks as hard boiled are too chalky for my taste.) The replacement egg was delivered very quickly. My guest had the banana Texas french toast special with added bacon and scrambled eggs. Bacon was nice and thick, nicely cooked. Scrambled eggs are pretty much just that. The french toast did have great body to it, but I'm not a huge banana fan. Still enjoyed it though. I would consider this an option for a revisit.
