    Huckleberry stuffed French toast - DELICIOUS
    Paul M.

    Had a great experience today! Came at 7am, right as they opened. John A welcomed me in and was my server. He was very friendly and attentive. Ordered the stuffed French toast with huckleberries. Texas toast was used for the French toast and cream cheese and huckleberries spread between the two slices of bread. Ordered a latte and they use quality expresso beans. Always thrilled when a breakfast spot has the full espresso menu (and not just coffee). Everything was delicious. Inside is nicely decorated. I think this is a chain but they don't have any locations where I live in Seattle, which is too bad because this is a good breakfast spot!!!

    It's been a while since I have been to this Griddle location but we sure did have such a great experience there today. A couple of my friends and I met for breakfast today. It wasn't super busy so I grabbed a table. A server cane, dropped off menus and grabbed my drink order. She got me all squared away and Leah took care of me till my friend is showed up. After everyone got settled and looked over the menu, we worked on our fresh orange juice and coffee. The Griddle will always have the best Oj in town. It's hard not to suck down the whole cup in one gulp. The coffee was hot and fresh. For breakfast I got 2 eggs and bacon. The eggs were fried nicely. My hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, my favorite. I got 3 slices of bacon that was crispy and salty. I also got a side of country gravy for my hashbrowns. I like that their gravy isn't so thick, it had a great consistency to it. Everything was delicious! Leah did a great job taking care of us. My third friend was running late but Leah checked up on us. Had our coffee cups filled and took our empty plates away to give us more space. I will have to say, this location has the best staff. Compared to the other locations, The Griddle Park Center is fantastic.

    Chilaquiles and quesadilla plate

    Well we have been here twice, and this two times we had felt like they are racist toward us, don't get me wrong the food was amazing is pretty good, but the service was awful, we couldn't even get a water, I get it they are busy but our waiter would go check on every other table except us and when we finally get to order our drinks we had to do it with another waiter and he gave us an attitude as well, idk we didn't feel welcome over there by the staff, as soon we got the food they gave us our bill even tho we wanted to order more they didn't ask us, and like I said every time we wanted to get something those two times that we went we would get ignored or get help with an attitude :/ I just don't think that's okay and it mades us feel uncomfortable

    It's always busy here and for good reason. It's a classic breakfast spot with really solid specials and a classic breakfast menu. Lively but not too loud inside. I'd say it's somewhere between a nice upscale restaurant and a greasy spoon.

    Quinoa, Chorizo & egg tostadas.
    Chelsea L.

    When we arrived, the line appeared to be long, but we were seated in less than five minutes. I ordered the quinoa, chorizo, and egg tostadas meal along with a hotcake. It was delicious! I would definitely come back the next time I'm in town!

    Chilaquiles with over medium eggs & pork. Delicious.
    Michelle C.

    Hubby & I were in town for fun, short weekend. We showed up for Sunday brunch at 11:30, had a 20 min wait. We asked for an outside table, which was perfect. I started with a VERY good Bloody Mary followed by chilaquiles with red sauce & over-medium eggs. Delicious! Hubby had a good iced tea, raspberry stuffed french toast that was good (I would have preferred the raspberry sauce more tart). He said the chuck patty he ordered on the side was very good. Service is not fast, but worth it. Total time from arrival was 1 hr 20 min.

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!

    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.

    Worst restaurant experience in a while! We were visiting Meridian and looked this place up on Yelp…read moreand saw that it had a great rating but were totally disappointed. I ordered an omelette that said on the menu that it came with gravy which I told the waitress that I didn't want. Well somehow the chef either didn't see it or decided to put it on anyway. It ruined my breakfast I know better than to send food back with a complaint Won't be back. Update: Joe, in response to your comment: Seems to me that maybe you shouldn't be in the restaurant business if you can't handle a little public criticism by your customers. I only posted what was our experience maybe others would find their change requests ignored of no significance but I'm on a specialized diet and that gravy was not acceptable! So stop being such a pansy and learn to use criticism to improve your product and services!

Their menu changes with the season but some of my favorites are the avocado toast with an egg over easy add steak, and their seasonal sweet potato hash.

So, I don't weep for their need to re-evaluate but realize fans will be disappointed. If you have gift cards you can use them at St. Lawrence Gridiron or Rustica, two other Boise downtown restaurants with the same owners. From the letter on door: "As many know, there has been a significant slowdown in consumer spending, especially in restaurants starting late 2024. We've done our very best to keep prices in line with what makes sense to cover costs and provide full benefits for our amazing staff," the letter said. "However, with sales down across all entities this year, we must re-evaluate our operations and make the necessary difficult decisions to be a sustainable business. Also, for the first time in many years, we recently lost two key people in our organization, and they both were a large part of what made Wild Root special. Last, we are heading into the slower, winter months. Instead of scrambling to keep the doors open, we are going to shut it down to evaluate everything."

I came here for a late lunch around 2 pm after arriving in Boise. They weren't crowded at this point but business wasn't dead either. My waitress was very friendly. 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.
