    Chorizo omelet
    Kim L.

    Our party of 7 came here for a late breakfast while on our way to the airport. Called ahead and made reservations (thank goodness) as this was a hot spot!! After checking in the nice, bubbly hostess let us know that the kitchen was a little behind due to a few employees being out I'll. That was fine, we still had time. We ordered, classic mimosas (freshly squeezed OJ) for the adults and specialty hot chocolates for the littles. I ordered the chorizo omelet with house potatoes and sourdough toast, it was delicious!! The restaurant was very busy, all employees were hustling and worked together as a well trained team. We definitely will be back when visit the area again. Highly recommend making reservations.

    Blew me out of the water. Didn't even know this place existed. The decor and atmosphere is simple yet beautiful and comforting. The service was absolutely amazing. My server was Cynthia B and she did a great job attending to my table and refilling drinks when needed!! The food was the cherry on top. It tasted the way it looked Delicious!! 5/5 for me!!

    Inside out: place is cute and well decorated inside and out. Service: fast and friendly. Food: now I'm not sure about the rest of the menu, but my grandma and I were floored at the prices in the worst way, and the portions were dismal. The quality was mid at best. It seemed like a really over priced and just over all underwhelming experience, but I'm not here to yuck other peoples yums!

    Breakfast sandwich (missing a bite) with hash browns

    My friend and I ate brunch here last week while visiting Boise. It was such a cute place with eclectic decor that made it even cuter! Our server was very nice and efficient. I had the Breakfast Sandwich with hash browns and a cinnamon roll and oh, my goodness...everything was delicious!! The brioche bun just made the whole sandwich even tastier. I could only eat a couple of bites of the cinnamon roll, but it was full of gooey cinnamon-y goodness. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try...you won't be sorry!!

    Super cute place and excellent service. Beyond that, not much to write home about. Personally, I don't mind relatively high prices if the food is high quality but this was not the case. I ordered the basic two egg breakfast and a coffee which was roughly $25, with tip included. I ordered over hard eggs, they came over medium at best. The bacon was not freshly cooked and lukewarm at best. The fruit was decent but not super fresh. The biscuit and gravy were ok but lacked flavor. But again, the decor/ambiance is very well done and the waitresss'/staff did a great job. Great coffee with flavored creamer and country music playing so that's a plus. This place could have a line out the door but they'll need to ensure their food matches their prices. Food quality is paramount; no one cares if the decor isn't aesthetically pleasing so long as the food is amazing. Bring the food quality up and I'll be back to give this place 5 .

    Wild garlic potatoes
    Felicia M.

    I use to love the huck house location but that one is permanently closed. I've only been to this one a few times but I have always loved the menu since they had chicken sausage. Today we went in and didn't find out that they have stopped carrying the chicken sausage until we tried to order brunch. I feel like that should have been disclosed when we got the menus since chicken sausage is still clearly on the whole menu. I also always get wild garlic potatoes and I feel like this time they were definitely lacking in the garlic compared to previous times. The service was ok but water wasn't refilled unless asked for it, over easy egg was forgotten about until asked and the chicken sausage issue should have been disclosed. I'm glad you can reserve ahead and put yourself on the waitlist but it's definitely not the same place it use to be.

    Fig and cheese omelette
    Kelsy P.

    I'm shocked this place has 4 stars. I think they're doing way too much. If they shrank the menu and worked on mastering the basics, I think it has potential! It's very cute and cheery inside but the food left a lot to be desired. I got the fig and cheese omelette; unfortunately those flavors did not work as well as I thought they would. My potatoes and pancakes were also cold. Our waitress did comp the dish but I still wasn't thrilled with the overall service. Perks: reservations for large groups and cinnamon roll bread pudding in a mason jar.

    This is a top tier breakfast/brunch establishment! They have so many great food options and also provide a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. They are known for their mimosas, which are delicious! They also have great drip coffee and lattes to choose from. The price point here is a little higher than other breakfast places, but I believe that the cost is worth the fresh food that you receive. I ordered the ham renaissance omelet, which is stuffed with sharp white cheddar cheese and prosciutto, it was so good! All of their meals come with a ton of food and various options for sides. This restaurant can get fairly busy so I would highly recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends!

    French toast with extra whipped butter.
    Marc M.

    I have been here and their sister restaurant (Huck House) probably a dozen times. So clearly I like this place. The staff is always super friendly which is nice because they are often packed. They have reduced their large menu due to keeping food fresh and available. Price point is higher than other breakfast places but food quality is better and you will certainly get two meals out of any entree. Give Blue or Huck a try!

The decor features beautiful artificial greenery that gives the space a light, vibrant, and welcoming feel. My server, Brayden, was fantastic--friendly, prompt, and attentive. I started with the Southern Hospitality mimosa (peach & pineapple with "Blue Ridge Bubbly"), which was incredible. For my meal, I chose the $10.99 Lunch Break Special, upgrading my side to the chicken poblano soup alongside the half honey pecan chicken salad sandwich. While I was looking at the bar, a gentleman named Scott asked how I was enjoying my food. I told him I hadn't tried it yet, but that the mimosa was rocking! The soup was delicious with great flavoring, and the biscuits paired perfectly with their tasty jam. The chicken salad also tasted great, but unfortunately, I bit into a sharp chicken bone that hurt my mouth. Because of this, I stopped eating the sandwich. When Brayden checked back in, I let him know I couldn't finish it due to the bone. He handled it perfectly, promptly took the sandwich away, and removed the charge from my bill. He also brought out some bread for my soup as requested. I finished my meal with a salted caramel craft iced latte, which was absolutely delicious. Minor food mishap aside, the outstanding customer service from both Brayden and Scott will definitely bring me back!

We did have to have a small wait. I love the fact that they were busy! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a local business thrive! It was a little over 10 minutes of wait time. No problem, we chilled in the car till we got our text to come in. We were sat, got coffee and juice ordered and checked out the menu. We were both hungry so everything looked good. My husband decided on a stack of pancakes with chocolate chips and a side of biscuits and gravy. I got the Big boy omelet with Moe Joe's potatoes. Our server, I believe her name is Kendra, was super sweet! I have served her before when she came in and ate my at family's restaurant. She was fabulous as a guest and fabulous at taking care of us today. I had requested a fresh cup of half and half that wasn't used my multiple guests. I'm still bring careful with my new kidney. With no hesitation, she gladly gave me a fresh cup of half and for my coffee. I appreciate her kindness so much. Food came out and booooyyyyy did everything look amazing! My husband's pancakes were fluffy and had plenty of chocolate chips. The biscuits were covered with gravy. My omelet was massive and was also covered in gravy. I was ready to tear into them potatoes! They were nice and charry. I know this meal is about to hit! I don't think I said a word to my husband for 15 minutes. The food was so good! Nothing important needed to be talked about when the food was doing the talking for us. My omelet was stuffed with green peppers, onions and all the 3 meats that came with it. I love love love the gravy on top! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and so soft in the middle. The potatoes with gravy is top tier! Of course I tried my husband's pancakes.... so fluffy and sweet. The biscuits weren't crazy dense. I love that they were airy. I really had to hold back on the pancakes, I still had a whole omelet to work on. But them pancakes were the business! It's sad that this joint is clear across town. I would eat here every week if I could. Everything we had today was so good! Everything I had last time was good! The service is fantastic. I adore Memory and Peyton. Now I get to add Kendra to my list! One of the best breakfast joints in town, hands down! I'm so happy I got to start my birthday week at Moe Joe's! I look forward to coming back very soon.

We had a different server than our usual this time and she was fantastic. I wish I remembered her name to give her a shout out. I took away a star because the food wasn't as great as the last few times I visited. The eggs were overcooked (kind of dry and almost rubbery) and the hash browns were under cooked in the center. Now, if you've read my previous review, youd know how much i absolutely LOVE their pancakes - and I've made it my go-to spot for breakfast because of it. Well, either they changed the recipe or someone messed up this batch. It was nice and fluffy, but bland. That signature deliciously buttery flavor was nowhere to be found. I kept taking bites hoping my tongue was deceiving me... but there were no lies. Just disappointment. This is definitely a deal breaker. Maybe I'll try one more time. If it was just a one-time fluke, I'll update this review and stars. :::sigh:::

There was a wine rack accent wall on the right. It is located in downtown Boise at the corner of Idaho and 8th St along restaurant row. Our server was Matthew B, and while he was a nice guy, he did not provide good service. It took him a while to get to our table, then after we ordered drinks, it took too long to get them. We then ordered appetizers but he didn't take our dinner orders. We waited too long for the appetizers, and then we ordered our dinners, which also took a while to come out. Runners brought our food out, not Matthew. He did not to refill the women's sodas, we had to ask. He did bring another glass of wine to one of the men, but that was because he was signaled. He did not ask the other people that ordered beer and cocktails if they wanted another. We never had our water glasses refilled. We told him about the birthday celebration, and all he said was, if we ordered dessert, he would put a candle on it. What? Most places serve a complimentary dessert for a birthday celebration. He also took too long to bring us our checks. We're all good tippers. We gave him 15%; he didn't deserve it. The food was OK, not spectacular, but overpriced. As far as the apetizers, the asparagus fries were not that flavorful, though nicely crusted. The cauliflower was just OK, likewise the chicken wings. I did like the honey and balsamic grilled brussel sprouts. Speaking for my wife and I, she liked the BAM Sammy. The side salad was average. I ordered the Urban Burger. While the patty was cooked well, it was small. I can get a bigger, better burger that costs less at any number of restaurants we frequent, including a few near us (we live in Star). I did like the fries. Crispy, with I believe Parmesan cheese coating them. My friend said his smoked salmon salad was just OK. We found it very loud, and difficult to hear each other in conversation. Needless to say, we have no plans to return to Fork.

Inside has a lived-in, intimate feel, but it was pretty dark, so much that I wasn't sure they were actually open as I was opening the door. I had the French dip sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious and tasted homemade in the best way. The "meat" of the sandwich was seitan. I don't THINK it was a perfect meat replica (but I've never had a real French dip), but it was very flavourful. I loved the flavour and the thick cut of their bread, but it didn't have much structure and fell apart easily as I was eating which made the sandwich very messy. The tomato basil soup was a little different. It was slightly creamy but brothy and a little chunky - not a smooth puree. Again, it tasted great and was nice and light, which was a good contrast to the very rich sandwich. It was a little slow, especially considering they weren't that busy. I didn't really mind since I wasn't on a schedule, but this is something to be aware of - don't come here for a quick meal. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality.

How crazy that time has truly flown by so fast…read more Moving to different states, new restaurants that have opened by us or the fact we live across town, just a couple reasons to why I haven't been in. But lucky for me, my husband and I were in the area so of course we had to make our way in for brunch. We showed up 45 minutes til close. There was about a 25 to 30 minute wait. We decided to tough it out and kick it. I did ask if we would still get served since we will be sat towards closing. They said yes so we waited. There would be a wait anywhere else so why leave. I just found it so kind that they would be willing to still take us with the restaurant closing soon. It was busy which makes me so happy. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a local business thrive. While hanging out, I was admiring the fun antiques that were decorated all over the restaurant. Talk about history and charm to this joint. Vintage cans, old cooking utensils, old school packages of Spam. There's so much history in this little venue. It's truly incredible to look at and appreciate. We were finally sat 20 minutes til closing. We got some coffee and apple juice started while we checked out the menu. After drinks were dropped off, we quickly ordered our food. My husband got chicken fried steak and I got the works omelet without the sausage. I believe they replaced it with extra ham. Food came out rather fast since we were the tail end of the day. And boy did everything look so good! My omelet looked massive. I was starving so I was so happy that it was big! The omelet was stuffed with green peppers, onions, ham, bacon and cheese. I also got a hearty side of hashbrowns. My husband got his country gravy that came with his country fried steak on the side for me. I was able to add it to my hashbrowns and omelet. Country gravy and hashbrowns is a top tier combination. And today's gravy and potatoes was money! My omelet was perfection. The onions and green peppers were nicely sautéed. There was a great amount of ham and bacon. The eggs were nicely cooked! Cheese that was in the middle was nice and melty. I ate the whole thing! Did I regret it later, yes but it was worth it! I finished half of my hashbrowns. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, these hashbrowns were fantastic! And the country gravy made them that much tastier. My husband enjoyed his breakfast. I most definitely enjoyed mine. Service was fabulous. Coffee was hot and always filled. Today's visit was truly fantastic. I heard that this joint is moving to Orchard. I look forward to coming and checking out the new venue. I know I won't be waiting another 20 years to come back. The food and the service was too good not to come back soon. I look forward to another omelet and one of their huge ass cinnamon rolls!
