The Griddle is a brunch place located at Boise, Idaho. It opens from 6AM to 2PM only. It is located near the heart of Boise downtown and thus it has been pretty popular with high ratings. It serves all kinds of brunch menu items such as omelet, crepes, and sandwiches. It has been having great reviews on web and thus we wanted to give it a try when we pass by Boise.
When we got to The Griddle, it was always 12:30PM and the restaurant was nearly full. As we walked in, we did not know what to do because there was no front desk or anyone to lead you to the table. The waitress told us we could just sit anywhere and they would bring the menus to us. So we picked a table by the window.
After few minutes the server came with the menus and glasses of water. The menu was quite simple and straight forward. We like this kind of menu so that we wouldn't need to spend too much time to go over each item. We ordered a scramble egg and an omelet. Each of this item comes with harsh brown and toast. The toast has choices of white, brown, and sour dough. We also ordered an ice latte and it was quite good.
When the food was delivered to us, we were also given choices to select what kind of jam we would like to have. There was strawberry, blueberry, and mango. We chose to get the mango jam. When the jam was given to us, it was given in a small iron bowl. We were expecting a pre-packaged jam and did not expect this. The mango jam was quite good however, it went really well with the toast.
The omelet and scramble eggs were very similar in terms of the ingredients used. The ingredients included ham, bacon, onion, and green pepper. The only difference between omelet and scramble eggs were the shape of the egg. We liked the scramble egg a bit more even though they were similar. It was probably because we liked the texture of scramble egg a bit more.
Overall, it was a great brunch for us after a long road trip. We really enjoyed it and felt energized again to get back on the road.
