Merritt's Home Of The Scones - Boise

Great hidden gem. Solid diner style menu, great friendly service despite being slammed. 10/10 for quality of service, as well as the food. I got the Smoky chicken omelet and some french toast.

Get yourself to this restaurant now! When I’m BOISE, Idaho do not miss this amazing historical restaurant! Do not let the old building fool you! This food is straight up fantastic! We were told we have to go here on our trip, If your looking for a delicious, hometown, hole in the wall fun, friendly experience look no further! I loved it so much I bought the awesome T-shirt! I GOT SCONED! Get yourself SCONED AT Merritt’s Family Restaurant!

We had an amazing experience, and go there about once or twice a month (we work a block away but are always very tired and grumpy), and they make us feel extremely welcomed no matter the time of day. They have a great selection of amazing meals from breakfast all the way to dessert. And of course we can't forget the scones, always the best in Ada county!

Sometimes, especially Saturday mornings, there is a waiting line for a table, and it's worth the wait! The wait staff hustle to clear tables, take and deliver orders, refill coffee and check with customers to see if they need anything. The food is done well, and no one leaves hungry. Their scones have to be tried just for the experience! Thank goodness there is a go-to place to take visitors and first-time diners for a memorable experience.

Service went downhill so swiftly. server was more attentive to her child that was eating at the table behind us that any other customer we waited for over an hour for our food another family walked out before even receiving theirs and the food was room temp. Absolutely disappointed considering we've been regulars here for over 10 years
