    An older diner that delivers some great breakfast. Retro booths, tables and stools at the counter. Lots of antique stuff hanging up. I ordered the biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs. It comes with some really crispy hash browns. The eggs were great, soft and fluffy with no browning. The plates were warm, a big plus for me, since it keeps the food hot. The biscuit was fresh and the gravy good and creamy. First time I have been in the place and will be back,. Christina did a nice job.

    I love this little spot for breakfast and brunch! We come here pretty often, and clearly so does everyone else because there's almost always a line It's such a cute place with a retro, sunny vibe that just makes you happy to be there. Every time we visit, the service has been great. The servers are always friendly and on top of things, even when it's busy. On our most recent visit, we ordered the Crabcake Benedict (which is homemade/I always ask for the Hollandaise on the side), Hawaiian Loco Moco, + a 3-stack of hot pancakes. Everything was delicious, as usual but I love love love their pancakes! We truly enjoy our food each & every time-- it's one of those dependable spots you can count on for a solid breakfast.

    A very local, Homie, feeling to the place And come hungry because the portions are large We started out with a pecan cinnamon roll as an appetizer for three of us Once our food arrived, we were glad Weed had something sweet to start the meal as we would not have had room afterwards Great service also

    Our server was incredible! She was on top of refilling our coffee and water, there was plenty of seating. The food was yummy! and it came out pretty fast too! It was a little on the pricey side... they're partnered with the Idaho food bank and also get their meat from a local co-op

    We had to find our own seats, and the only available booth wasn't very clean, but we decided to sit there anyway. The place was quite busy, so we waited patiently before anyone noticed us. Eventually, our server came over, cleaned our table, and brought us some coffee--she was excellent. My dad ordered the flavored blueberry hotcakes; they were smaller and had fewer blueberries compared to the ones at the Winnemucca Griddle. I chose the number 1 combo with eggs, bacon, and a huckleberry crepe, which was delicious. I definitely recommend! The service was outstanding.

    Great experience at The Griddle in Nampa. My daughter and I had trouble deciding on where to go for breakfast as we had come from Bend, Oregon the day before, and needed a good start of the day. We are so glad we picked The Griddle. We each had the Raspberry Crepe Combo. My daughter also had hash browns added to her plate and they were fantastic. The Crepes were so flavorful and the accompanying eggs and bacon were perfect. Christina was our server and she was so friendly and timed everything excellently. The décor is great. Love the old school feeling, and we will definitely return on our next visit to Nampa.

    We both got the combo, one with the toasted coconut French toast and the second with the pumpkin pancakes with a mouse inside.

    While it was good, it wasn't $49 good IMHO. The servings were pretty small. I don't think I'd go again.

    So glad we decided to try out the griddle. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the mimosas were fantastic. The restaurant has a nice diner vibe to it. Make sure to ask about their weekly specials!

    I've come here enough times with my son to be called a regular. Figure it was time to write a review. The staff are always great at what they do. I've been working on trying different food items on the menu and I haven't been disappointed yet. I love the stained glass everywhere in the restaurant. So cute.

They had that golden, slightly buttery crunch that makes you keep going back for "just one more bite." The sausage patties were just as impressive--juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right with a nice sear that added a ton of flavor. Together, they made a simple breakfast feel way above average. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and made the whole place feel welcoming from the moment I walked in. It felt like they genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect.

We were greates quickly and got our iced tea fast. But then waited about 10 minutes before waiting for someone to take our order, while watching multiple waitresses walk past us. Once we did order, I went with lunch (rueben sandwich with fries? and hubby went with breakfast (chicken fried steak, hashbrowns, and toast). The sandwich was delicious!! But the waitress didn't ask what side I wanted and just gave me fries. I could have said something, but was hungry and didn't want to wait for it to be fixed. Hubby loved the gravy, but thought the actual chicken fried steak was just ok. The breading was meh and the meat was more of a hamburger texture rather than cube steak. His hashbrowns were also very under cooked and the oil tasted old. Despite those issues, we'd still go back and talked about what we'd try next. Once we placed our order the waitstaff became much more attentive and was very friendly.

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.

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

(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!!
