Burnt chicken fried steak
Christopher C.

Went here to try it out against all the reviews. We were excited to have a breakfast place here in Kuna that we could escape to when the kids were at school. Sadly, the food was. It very good. We ordered the chicken fried steak; which the gravy was good but the steak was overcooked and burnt on one side. The chef flipped it and covered it with gravy. The hashbrowns were crispy and good but we were charged for cheese that wasn't on them. Also ordered the poutine. This is NOT poutine. The gravy was sour and they used shredded cheese and over cooked eggs. Adding hot sauce or ketchup didn't work. I can usually power anything down and suck it up but this is the first time in decades that I've not been able to eat something. Lastly, it took 20 minutes to ask for drinks and 10 mins to get water. The coffee is good. I wouldn't recommend eating here. I gave a 2 start because our waitress was kind enough to take my meal off.

The Pork Belly's "required uniform" complete with sexual innuendo.

The Pork Belly owners are intentionally and deliberately overcharging customers. The prices The Pork Belly are charging are anywhere from $.25-$2.00 more than the menu listed prices. This has been brought to the attention of the owners, Mike and Marisol Larson on multiple occasions since October 2024- by myself personally as a former employee, and as of December 2024 no changes have been made. The Pork Belly owners, Mike and Marisol Larson, divert all Online Takeout Order tips from tipped staff and keep it for themselves, in violation of State and Federal Labor Laws. The Pork Belly owners, Mike and Marisol Larson, completely disregarded employee concerns and discomfort around the new "uniform policy" involving a t-shirt that is sexually inappropriate as required uniform. The t-shirt in question has the picture of the butt of a pig, complete with testicles and sphincter, with the words directly underneath, "get in the pink". Concerns and issues brought to the owners were met with disregard, contempt, and retaliatory treatment of staff, including threat of punishment and termination. The Pork Belly owners, Mike and Marisol Larson have multiple employees who report having not received a paycheck in more than 30 days of work. Including minor children. In violation of State and Federal Labor laws and Child Labor laws.

Wow what a true hidden gem located in Kuna in the old fire station. The ambiance is modern, nostalgic and has a diner vibe to it. Once inside and seated the waitresses working here where awesome!! They both were super friendly and at the time we were there very busy but they hustled and made sure everyone was taken care of. I will start of 1st by saying I am super picky about bbq and while this isn't all BBQ the pork belly I had here today was on point. It was smoked and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of both. For food I had the pork belly hash with potatoes, onions, mushrooms, cheese, topped with 2 over easy eggs and pork belly. This was a perfect blend of flavors and a pro tip order the hog sauce this goes great with anything especially the pork belly! My wife had the The Southerner which consisted of a homemade biscuit, fried chicken, bacon, cheddar, gravy, over eggs and potato side. Another great blend of flavors. One thing I will say is that the portions here are very generous and easily could be shared with an appetizer, but for us we ended up preserving our own and left in a meat coma. Plus they have a coffee bar and a drive up window that starts serving coffee/espresso drinks at 7am. We loved the vibe of this place and we will for sure be back....in a town that is desperate for dining options this is a true high point. While they are only open for breakfast and lunch this will be our new family favorite. Lots of great options as well as some gluten free and vegetarian options.

Michi Hubbard We love coming for either breakfast/ lunch if you like something wit a little sweet but no over sweet I had the crunchy French toast with chocolate with cream cheese and the wonderful oversized cinnamon roll this we be definitely be our Christmas cinnamon roll for Christmas our tradition and my husband had the poutine and kuna caver hash and it was really delicious and serving are so big so if you are not a big eater be prepared for a doggy bag. Ohh I had also the chicken and waffles wow another amazing dish. No I am the picky eater I could not find anything wrong with any of it ohhh let's not forget the coffee bar great options . Keep on preparing such great dishes Chef Wally and crew.

Newer place in the old firehouse. We arrived about 10am and had a 20 minute wait for two. As we sat on the benches outside, everyone coming out we visited with and all said "plenty of good" and had to go boxes. Now we are hungry! We were called in right on time and shimmied our way to the back table. The vibe is like diner style, old timey place where everyone just enjoying breakfast. The place was packed so expected slower service but really was pretty quick! Several people outside told us they had the Veggie Hash and added pork belly so that's what I tried. Mr had The Southern & a short stack. Food was out pretty quick and was good, warm and plenty to eat! My over easy eggs were perfect with no goopy whites and the Mr said his gravy ratio to the really soft biscuit was good (he said maybe 1/4 cup haha would have been perfect). Pancakes light and fluffy. The side of pork belly was deep fried vs pan fried.. but seeing how busy it was.. didn't discount. Meanwhile we saw lots of chillins with donuts and such all enjoying this little hot spot! We will be back!

The service is just as bad as all of the other reviews have stated. Food was well above average but a little pricey for breakfast.

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.

Everything is still the same service-wise, space, cleanliness. They still text if there's a long…read morewait, which is convenient, so you can wait in your car. 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:::

We stopped in for breakfast and had a really enjoyable experience! The restaurant is spacious,…read moreclean, and the staff are friendly and attentive. First visit: We ordered an omelet and pancakes--both were delicious and hit the spot. Since we liked it so much, we came back a second time. I got the breakfast burrito, which was delicious. My husband tried the Mr. Potato Head potato/omelet and loved every bite--he said it was hearty, well-seasoned. The only minor nitpick: The salsa that came with the burrito tasted a lot like store-bought Pace Picante. It was fine, but in a place with such great food overall, homemade authentic salsa would take it to the next level. All in all, a solid spot with good portions, welcoming vibes, and tasty breakfast options. We'll definitely be back--highly recommend! P.S. It was a bit too cold and we left our jackets on.

With the closure of Alien Cafe and the fact that The Griddle can easily turn into a 90-minute…read morecommitment on weekends, I figured it was finally time to try Potholder since I'm in this area all the time anyway. They really lean into the whole "bringing California brunch culture to Idaho" thing, so maybe my expectations were too high going in. But honestly... this was a pretty rough experience for me. I ordered the huevos rancheros because what feels more California brunch than that? When my plate came out, it looked weirdly plain and honestly kind of sad. Then my friend's huevos rancheros arrived and hers had all the toppings, sauces, avocado, etc. So apparently mine was missing half the dish. When I politely asked about it, I got a surprisingly snarky response that immediately made the whole thing uncomfortable. I really don't think I was rude about it at all. But the part that genuinely grossed me out was the mimosa tower situation. Two of the four glasses at our table literally had lipstick stains on them, and the others were cloudy/smudgy enough that we noticed immediately. That's the kind of thing you can't unsee once it's sitting at your table. I honestly don't really understand the hype because this place is constantly packed. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but between the mediocre food, awkward service interaction, and dirty glassware, I don't think I'll be back. I'd personally rather wait for a table at The Griddle or have a calmer breakfast at Rembrandt's instead.

Excellent food ! The owners were humble, kind and generous…read moreI enjoyed the environment colors. The gray overtones gave it a relaxing feeling

We've been here dozens of times, always good, but not last night…read more I ordered the Carnitas with Mole, I've had the regular carnitas many times so I figured adding mole would just make them better. What I got was a lump of overcooked, dry, unsliced, unseasoned pork roast with the mole poured over at the table. I spent the first five minutes just trying ti cut and tear the pork baseball apart and stirring it in the mole. I kept picturing Chef Ramsey taking a bite, spitting it back on the plate and flagging down the waiter,. "This is disgusting!" You know meat is dry when you must drink something because it keeps getting stuck on the way down! What I should have received was seasoned carnitas that spent at least some time with the sauce in the pan. I had to stop it was so bad! If it hadn't bern Valentines Day weekend, and if we hadn't already waited an hour to eat because it was busy, I'd have asked the waiter for something else. When the waiter came to check and asked, I was honest, he apologized and offered to have them prepare something else, but by this point I was just ready to leave. The Manager came, apologized and took my dinner off the bill, the right thing to do. We used to live in Kuna, but now it's at least an hour drive round trip, so I doubt we'll be back. Maybe if we are meeting friends/family in Kuna, but just us, I don't think so. Time to find good Mexican closer to downtown Boise!
