The Griddle

We’ve been back to the Griddle several times since my first review and have been very happy with our visits. The food is always good and the service is also!

Great breakfast, chorizo was spicy but not over the top, eggs over medium just right. Server was super friendly and attentive.

Love BREAKFASTQUEST at this place! It’s always a great choice! I was just there this morning enjoying pancakes!

15 of us met here for brunch. I had the almond-​crusted french toast and it was to die for! The kids loved the OJ machine, and everyone seemed to love what they ordered. Fun, casual atmosphere while feeling far nicer than a chain breakfast place. The only downside is that service was quite slow despite the restaurant being mostly empty.

Staaaahhhhp it! This was my cheat meal every single week when I was slimming down for my wedding. There might be a touch of cocaine in the filling they use for the crêpes and stuffed french toast, because that stuff leaves you fiending for more. Disney has nicknamed their oreo filling «the grey stuff», well I argue that this filling is on par and is now dubbed «the white stuff».
Do yourself a favor and just order some to go as well, to save yourself a trip later that afternoon.

The Pecan Crusted French Toast with Bacon Caramel Sauce was to die for! The service was great and it was the perfect place for two busy moms to grab a few quiet moments.

Visiting from California. Amazing menu and fabulous food. Our waitress was a kick. Super upbeat and friendly. Great place! Check out the candy store next door too!

This is the best place for breakfast! Home made everything and it all tastes great. I have been here many times and love to take visitors here because the atmosphere is fun and it always has the best food.

My friend and I love The Griddle. We were excited to hear there was one closer to us, but unsure after reading the Unilocal reviews. We decided to try it anyways and are glad to say that it did not disappoint!
We showed up about an hour from closing, so it was a little dead. Our waiter, despite being tired from a long and understaffed day, was a hoot. He was friendly, helpful, and funny. Definitely made the experience better. He also made one of, if not THE best latte I’ve ever had!
The food was delicious! I had the California Benedict which was a little better than expected because the bacon and even hashbrowns had the perfect amount of crisp. My friend had the Caribbean French Toast, which was enjoyed so much I almost didn’t get to try it.
All in all, it was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back again!

Having gone back again, I find I need to upgrade them to a 4 Star. They have come a long way from my initial low rating.
The new management is much more personal and the new menu (to me, at least) has some good things on it, like a lamb burger. Still have really fresh squeezed OJ. You can watch it being squeezed.
Coffee is still good, roomy dining area and clean. The Eagle restaurant is our choice for breakfast when in Eagle.

Wow. Read reviews here and decided to try it out. Fantastic service and delightful food. During the weekday it was slow. I’m sure this place is packed on the weekends. I can’t say enough positive things about the service. Seriously stellar. Will definitely be trying again.

We shared a modified Vic’s omelet this morning, which turned out great along with wonderfully crispy (at our request) hash browns. Got some of their famous hotcakes on the side to which my husband commented that they were the best he has had in a long time: super fresh, fluffy and delicious. Service was very friendly but as a tea drinker, it’s never easy to get refills, it seems. All in all it was quite tasty and we would certainly come back.

I come to Meridian every 3 years and this time I want to make sure I hit the non chain restaurants. After looking at the reviews for this place I had to make stop in and try the Caribbean French Toast.
Since it was a weekday, there was no lines and you seat yourself. The staff greets you once you step through the 2^nd door and the next thing I notice is how clean the place is. The décor is bright and welcoming.
The servers let you settle in for a moment and ask you what you’d like to drink. In a few moments they return with your drink and let you know the special for the day. I knew what i wanted… Caribbean French Toast with side bacon.
Within minutes your plate arrives and it looks deelish. Then I notice the side order of bacon, 4 meaty pieces. Immediately I start cutting up my french toast and poured the syrup over it. I try not to drown it because I want to taste more of the french toast. OH — EMMM — GEE, I was in heaven, the first bite was so tasty and fluffy and cooked all the way through. (some places you still see the yoke-​ness still in the middle). And the bacon, did I mention how meaty it was — cooked too perfection not burnt nor flimsy.
This was so good I returned the next day since it was my last morning in Meridian. Once again, it was cooked perfect and tasting the same as the day before.

What a great place. We came here because its close to our hotel, and glad we did! Yummy breakfast, awesome service. Super clean, great décor. We will definitely be back!

Favoite place for breakfast in Meridian. The fresh squeezed orange is a huge hit. Pecan waffle with banana made to order and fresh tasting. Also a
available. Thanks Griddle.

The Griddle never fails to disappoint. Hubs and I went there for a Mother’s Day breakfast and it was (of course) packed! We order Caribbean French Toast and BACON French Toast, yes, BACON! Both items were delicious and the perfect portion size. Our waiter was fantastic and checked back on us multiple times. Love the atmosphere, love the staff, and LOVE their food!

While visiting Idaho a couple of weekends ago, we decided to give The Griddle a try, and it was a hit! Other than homemade hollandaise sauce, The Griddle has so far been the best hollandaise I have found that wasn’t at a «high end» place. It was delicious, and I enjoyed the california benedict very much.
The kids pancakes came back a little raw at first, but they were very quick and prompt about getting new pancakes out, and the kids loved them. My husbands only complaint was that he ate too much ;)
If you’re in Meridian and in need of a quick inexpensive breakfast, I’d definitely recommend The Griddle.

All hungry road warriors just passing through, stop here! It’s right off the 84. Leave the gut bomb road food behind and get some good food. It’s not vegan or GF friendly but there are some healthier options available.
The wait staff is super friendly and high energy. There’s a 10% off coupon for first time Unilocal check-in’s. Our service was great so we paid it forward to our server.
To drink I had a breve and fresh squeezed orange juice. For breakfast, I ordered poached eggs, extra crispy hash browns, and bacon with a biscuit. Everything was made exactly how I wanted. My better half ordered the cream cheese strawberry rhubarb stuffed French toast with a side of crispy bacon. Too sweet for my taste but then again, that’s why he ordered it and not me. :) The French toast wasn’t stuffed, exactly. It was layered, more like a «breakfast grilled cheese sandwich» in the words of my partner.
I recommend this place if you don’t have the time to go into downtown Boise.

Great friendly service. Had a massive cinnamon roll with cream cheese on top. To die for. Servers that are not serving me actually talked to me. Certainly not a restaurant norm
Server was Jeffrey. Great server

Great service from Rey, super friendly, kid savvy and great food recommendations. I had the Caribbean French toast in the combo, with bacon and eggs was the perfect amount of food. My boyfriend had the California Benedict with avocado, bacon and tomato. Also delicious.
Very attentive and friendly staff, made us feel very welcome and at home. Menu is eclectic, something for everyone. Can’t wait to come back and try something else!
