About the house
A neighborhood diner that grew up
Rita and Marcus Doyle took over the Bannock Street space in 2007 with fifteen tables and a single flat top. The sourdough starter is older than the restaurant and the biscuit recipe came off Rita's mother's index card. We still do not take reservations, because we would rather everyone have the same shot at a table on a Saturday.
•Biscuits mixed and baked in house every morning, never held overnight
•Pork and eggs come from two Treasure Valley farms we have used for a decade
•Kids eat free on Tuesdays with any adult entree
Reviews
What people order twice
“The hash browns are the crispiest in Boise and I will argue with anyone about it.”
Kelsey V., Boise regular
“We waited forty minutes on a Sunday and it was still worth it. The chorizo skillet is enormous and it is genuinely spicy.”
Andre W., Meridian
“They remake an egg without a word or an attitude if it comes out wrong. That alone earns my loyalty.”
Grace H., North End
FAQ
Before you head over
Do you take reservations?
No, we are first come first served. Put your name on the waitlist from your phone and we will text you, which lets you wait at the coffee shop on the corner instead of standing on the sidewalk.
How long is the weekend wait?
Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 11:30am usually runs thirty five to fifty minutes. Before 8am or after noon you will typically walk right in. Weekdays there is rarely a wait at all.
Do you have gluten free and vegetarian options?
Yes on both. We keep gluten free bread and cook eggs and potatoes on a separate section of the flat top, though our kitchen is not a gluten free facility. Vegetarian versions of the skillet and the hash are on the menu.
Is there parking downtown?
The Bannock garage is half a block east and is free for the first hour on weekends. Street meters on Bannock are free before 9am and all day Sunday.
