Cattlemen's is the breakfast place I have been searching for…read more Having moved to the Treasure Valley recently, I have wanted to find that "down home" spot where everyone knows each other and the food is straight out of Mom's kitchen. Cattlemen's is it. How so? I took my wife there a couple of weeks ago and, when we returned this week, the waitress told us we could sit anywhere and when she came over with coffee, she remembered that we sat at the same table the last time. Not only that but when she asked what we were doing that day and we told her she remembered what we had told her a week and a half earlier. : 0 And the food. Their biscuits are the best I have ever had at a restaurant. Not only are they massive but they are flaky and moist (not the dry hockey pucks you get at other places). And their gravy is flavorful and a perfect pairing. Unlike the pasty mess at other places that will remain nameless. the eggs are perfectly cooked, the sign of a great cook, and the variety is sure to please anyone in your group. If you want a breakfast place that is like being in mom's kitchen but better, you need to get to Cattlemen's. You won't regret it.

This is the quintessential local Idaho place, nestled between industrial buildings and attached to…read morea livestock arena. From the no-frills motif, hilarious signs that blanket each wall and friendly service...there's so much to love. We were immediately seated on a busy Saturday morning for breakfast in a 1970s throwback booth with laminated wood. It was comfortable and comforting, such a nice way to start our visit. We had plenty of time to scour the menu, chock full of everything a breakfast yearning heart desires from homemade waffles, omelets, pancakes, biscuits with gravy...you name it. I ordered the Denver omelet, substituted the ham for sausage, with home fries and an English muffin. Hubby got two pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage. Food came a lot quicker than expected; it was a nice surprise considering how busy it was. The omelet had the most sausage I've ever seen in an omelet...no skimping here! It was loaded with onions, cheese, and green peppers as well. Everything was cooked well, though a tad under seasoned. A quick fix was adding extra pepper, ketchup and an occasional dab of Cholula. The English muffin was toasted to perfection with the right amount of butter. Delicious. My husband loved his pancakes...huge, with crispy edges and soft, fluffy middles. Honestly, some of the best pancakes I've had in the valley since I've been here. Served with warm syrup too...yes please!!!! Service was extremely friendly and prompt. Excellent visit!

We were here this evening (Wednesday). The place was busy but not so much that we had to wait for a table, and in fact were seated at a nice booth. It's a little loud, though you can still carry on a conversation. My wife had the salmon dinner. My daughter had the BLT with fries. Both liked their choices. My sampled my daughter's fries and they were pretty crispy and well seasoned. I had to go with what I had last time: the Bee Sting pizza. Love the feta with spicy sausage and honey drizzle. Delicious. My daughter and I had a Hazy IPA, very good. Maybe next time I'll try something different, because most certainly we'll be back.

This didn't quite meet my expectations based on what I had heard about Proof. We went for our…read moreanniversary, and I would say the food was good but not stand out. I felt the $23 Mac & Cheese could have used a pasta that caught more sauce (ie more grooves) and the sauce was a little thick and not saucy and creamy. Perhaps that's personal preference. The appetizers were good but I think the server automatically gave us the larger wing order instead of asking which size we wanted. It was more than 2 people needed at 2lb of wings for an app. The potato skin spring rolls were almost there. They needed deeper color on the fry, and it seemed to only have what felt like mashed potato inside. I appreciated the crisp on the wings - a little heavy on the seasoning on some parts. The server was attentive! No complaints there. I do appreciate however if the timing of the entrees is spaced well to give time to eat the appetizers. This did not happen. Why are the floors so sticky? I may or may not go again. I don't think I'd go to Star from Caldwell just to go. For the price, I expected a higher level of attention to detail.

Finally got to try this adorable family restaurant today, and honestly, 5/5 no questions. We didn't…read moreknow it was seat yourself since it was our first time there, but the server was so sweet and she addressed us right away and brought us menus and took our drink order- it was around 11 on a Tuesday and they were busy the whole time! She came back quickly and made some great recommendations and took our order. We typically always try a cinnamon roll (if they have it) and pancakes- my son ordered the chicken fried steak, which he really enjoyed- and I ordered the Idaho omelet, which was huge, and delicious. The cinnamon roll alone was worth the visit- and the pancakes were good too. The place itself is super cute diner vibes, and is split into two areas for seating. Honestly, this felt like visiting a friend- tons of regulars and the server was amazing knowing orders, names and keeping up on life. She really was fantastic, and made the whole experience that much better. We will definitely be going back, trying other yummy items and telling others about it. The prices are great too, and everything was yummy.

My wife was feeling like comfort food, and I brought us here for the first time today based on the…read morereviews. We came about 2 pm and the place was not crowded. The sign said to seat ourselves so we grabbed a booth. A young woman came over immediately and brought us menus and water. Inside is very homey and family friendly. There are booth along the sides and back of the restaurant and tables for four as well as bigger round tables that would seat 7-8. Next to us was a young family of five kids and the wife was pregnant. We then sat for longer than we should. Finally, our server, Julia B, came over. She was very friendly and nice. She took our order: my wife wanted the Salisbury steak and I had the Pacific Omelet with hashbrowns and pancakes. My first clue that things were not as they should be was when Julia asked my wife how she wanted her Salisbury steak cooked. Hmmm. The food took longer than it should to come out, but that was OK because we were in no hurry. When it did come out, my wife and I both looked at the "Salisbury Steak" and realized that, in fact, it was not what it was supposed to be. Instead, it was an actual steak. On the other hand, my omelet, with bacon crumbles and Swiss cheese, was good, my hashbrowns were extra crispy as I asked for, and the pancakes, which the cook forgot to make but that came out pretty quickly anyway, were pretty good. My wife ordered one of their giant cinnamon buns to go. We didn't see Julia for a time, and so my wife flagged down another server and asked if what she had was Salisbury steak. As expected the server said no. Julia came over shortly after. I said, "My wife ordered the Salisbury steak." Julia said, "Yes?". I said, "That's not Salisbury steak." She then realized her mistake and apologized repeatedly. What my wife received was the Iron Skillet Steak. Not sure about the misunderstanding. Julia offered to make the Salisbury steak to go, but my wife, being very nice and considerate, told her she'd be OK with the Iron Skillet Steak. Julia then comped the cinnamon bun, which I appreciated. She was trying to make things right. And again, she was very nice. We think we will give Mr. V's another chance at sometime in the future.

Hubby and I were starting off my birthday week with breakfast. He asked me where I wanted to eat…read more Of course it had to be Moe Joe's. We were in the area so it was meant to be. 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:::

Update: Even before we actually moved to the Treasure Valley, we have been coming to The Tavern. We…read morehave been here now for nearly two years, and we came here today, Friday, for an early dinner. It was not crowded, and we were seated right away. For some reason, we were seated in a corner booth near the bathrooms, while other customers were seated elsewhere in the restaurant. We didn't mind, however, because it was nice and quiet. And, for me, convenient. My wife had the Sirloin Salad, and I had the Ahi Poke Salad. My wife said that her meat was cooked the way she likes it, and the rest of the ingredients were delicious. For me, the ahi, sesame vinaigrette dressing, wonton strips, onions, and greens were very good. The food is always good at The Tavern. And, the prices are reasonable. Unlike our past experiences, the service this time around was not up to our usual. Our server, Hannah C., seemed in a rush and impatient. Though she told us to ask her if we had questions, I didn't find her responses to be pleasant. The first dish my wife was interested in had Boursin cheese. My wife had not heard of it, and she cannot eat a lot of cheese. She preferred something milder, like mozarella. When she inquired of Hannah, the reply was terse. "We don't have mozarella." "Do you have another milder cheese?" "Like what?" Not in a nice way, and not professional, in my opinion. And, she was loud. We waited longer than usual for our food, and when Hannah brought it, she just dropped the plates and split. To her credit, she did check in on us once during our meal. Now I don't know what kind of day Hannah was having. Maybe not so good. I don't know what kind of person she is, and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she is a nice woman. Hopefully she is not like how she was with us to all of her customers. I'm a 20% tipper. For her, it was 18%. I wasn't given a choice, but I would have gone down to 15%.
