Capri Restaurant

Came in for dinner and had biscuits and gravy. I was worried what kind of quality of food I was…read moregoing to get beans that I saw the chef use the microwave. From what I've gathered they make their own biscuits and they're gravy was definitely not from a box. The bacon was cooked almost perfect and the hashbrowns were also good overall a good experience good 1950s feel to the restaurant and the staff is very polite.

Before Christmas, my friend wanted to meet up for a quick bite so she suggested Eddie's. We both…read morewanted breakfast for lunch so Eddie's sounded like a great place to eat at. I arrived first. There was a server behind the counter not really acknowledging me. There were also a couple other servers hanging out by the breakfast bar that were in their own little world. So, I just stood there for a while. Finally someone who was actually serving a table who wad walking by greeted me and got my sat. I got some coffee started while I was waiting for my friend. I told me server about my new kidney and that I couldn't use the creamers on the table that had been handled by previous guests. She was kind and got me a new bowl of creamers. I kicked it, enjoyed my hot coffee and waited till my friend showed up. After my friend finally showed up, we breezed over the menu and decided on some grub. I did have a meal a little before our lunch date so I got something off the smaller menu. I decided on the hamburger patty with onions and 1egg meal. I thought it was going to be the perfect amount. Everything came out quickly. I did ask for a side of brown gravy for my hamburger patty, it was looking kinda dry. The side of fruit I got looked fresh and my egg was cooked perfectly. My patty was smaller, it would be comparable to a patty you would use as a slider. The gravy and onions did add nice flavor to it. Unfortunately the gravy was sitting for a while in the back cause it was lumpy and cooler. The egg was fresh and the fruit as good. My coffee was always topped off by our server which I really appreciated. My friend and I didn't realize what time they closed. We just thought that we came at an odd hour so no one was eating and it was slow. We hung out for a while and chatted. Finally another server told us that she was going to go paint the bathroom and she would be in there if we needed anything. Finding that to be such an odd comment, I googled to see what time they closed. It was 2:15 and they closed at 2. I thought a simple "is there anything else we can get you cause we are closed" would have been sufficient instead of beating around the bush. I served for over 30 years and have never told my guests I would be in the bathroom if they needed me. It was an interesting meal here. The venue was fun with the lights and vintage decor. The food was decent. Our server did a great job but service outside of her was non existent or questionable. I have my favorite breakfast joints and I wish I could have added this place to it on this end of town. I love supporting local but it's hard to support this joint when the service and food was just 50/50.

Cute place.

Karinna was our server, and she did an excellent job of taking care of us; friendly, attentive, and helpful. That are known for their scones. To me, they weren't really like the scones I'm used to. They're big pastries of fried dough, and you can get them covered with cinnamon and sugar, fruit, cream cheese, and more. I had the three egg Jalapeño and cheese omelet (spicy/good) with hash browns and upgraded to the cinnamon and sugar "scone". My wife got eggs and sausage, hash browns, and the same type of scone. The food was all good, but the scones were delicious! More like a large pastry churro, and with butter on top it was amazing. My problem was with the men's bathroom. It was disgusting. Dirty, paper on the floor, toilet--well, you get the idea. This caused me to look around and see that the place was not all that clean. So, the next time we would come, and that would be for those scones, we'd do takeout.

So when the menu specifically says home-made chicken fried steak I get excited. And it is possible that I came to Merritts with too high expectations. That being said the chicken fried steak was very bland, no flavor. Salt and pepper couldn't save it. The scone was cooked perfectly but whatever honey butter they are using was waxy and not much flavor. My wife also said her omelette just didn't taste right. She also had the Boston shake which was basically just ice cream on top of milkshake, didn't really look or taste like a sundae. She also said the chocolate tasted stale. The service was fine for having few customers. I'm not a huge fan of going to a restaurant and having Dr Pepper in a bottle. So yes, a cup of ice was appreciated. The restaurant itself is what you would expect for a roadside family dinner. It actually added to the excitement of what I expected the food to taste like. There are just so many good breakfast restaurants that I could not give this a 3. I would not come back and I cannot recommend for anybody else. Sorry Merritts.

Totally understandable for the size of the restaurant and the amount of customer flow. But their team worked very efficiently and fast!

TLDR; Great food (best Chicken Fried Steak in Boise) great service. Went here for a morning meeting and boy am I glad that I did! It's a simple place next to a shady motel that looks straight out of a movie. We sat ourselves and were instantly greeted by a friendly waitress. She promptly brought us our coffee and stated that someone would be by to take our order. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it is the best chicken fried steak I've had since being in Boise! Absolutely amazing crunch with every bit even with the gravy that it was smothered in. You would not be disappointed to go here for breakfast and if you've gotten this far in the review - it's a damn diner, take a chance and go eat some good food.

Visiting Rudy the Rooster is a delightful way to start your day! The waitress staff were attentive and really made us feel at home, which enhanced our overall experience. I tried the waffle special, and it did not disappoint--think of pancakes with a twist! The waffles were delicious, and the warm syrup added an extra layer of flavor. The scrambled eggs were also well-prepared, moist, and enjoyable. The coffee was plentiful, which is always a plus for breakfast lovers. The atmosphere was lively, with a mix of different age groups, creating a vibrant vibe that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful spot for breakfast! read more

(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!!
