Jon boy

The food was really great but the service was about average. Not rude or anything but more stand offish. We did come when they were pretty busy so the rush could have effected demeanor. I had the steak and eggs with fries instead of hash browns and my girlfriend had an omelette with mushrooms and cheese. The toast was just average and they had the standard packaged jam to put them on.

michelle sawyer

Great place for a Saturday morning breakfast. Usually a wait, get there a little early because it's worth it

Sharon Hill

Great food and great value. Service is superb. Simple but delicious 50's favorites, take a step back in time for a couple of hours. Enjoy your else's.

melissa s

Quick and friendly service. Delicious food! Cute atmosphere.

Ray Clever

Very friendly people with great food!

Nancy Wilson

Great food excellent service

Casey McManus

Don't even bother. The prices are outrageous, food is mediocre, menu's limited, and the "50s" decore is just a dozen tacky posters of Marylin and Elvis.

Matthew Heuer

Food and service is good, moderate pricing. Fun ambiance (my granddaughter asked about the records on the wall. I told her that was the YouTube when we were her age).

Laurie Ray

Great staff, good food wonderful atmosphere

Steven B

James Kennedy

Their food is always delicious and its family owned.

William Curtis

thomas reese

Good food nice people and great service

Nathan Moffet

Great food. Friendly service.

Christopher Lutzow

If you like Marilyn Monroe decor and the staples of diner food, this is the place. The staff are friendly, the place is clean, and the menu is simple. Just the right amount for breakfast and lunch, and all for a decent price.

Zaiguu

For some odd reason had a business meeting here for a large group, it was OK. They took good care of all of us, took our orders on time, gave us drinks, fed us well with good breakfast food. Cheap and good. 13+ people, $125 for all of us.

Shauna Lacow

Felt like a bait and switch. Restaurant prices are double that of those on website. Food was mediocre and not worthy of $10 for pancake (1), 2 eggs, and overdone bacon (2 strips). If you want to sub French toast you need to pay full price for French toast AND the dish you wish to add it to. Not really a substitution. Menu reads “an upcharge”, but does not provide a specific price. Wait staff hovers a bit to move your visit along, but are kind, at 9:30 there was no wait (wonder why?), and awesome with coffee refills. Recommend Sunrise Cafe in Meridian (2 locations) and Eddie’s Diner in Boise off Overland Road. Good food, great prices, good wait staff. Busy on weekends of course so be strategic if you don’t want to wait.

Andrew Kilgore

Usually always stop by once when getting into town. Nice feel, good breakfast, and catch up with friends.

Fishin' Bry The Outdoor Guy

Super friendly staff, coffee was refilled often. The food was good at best. Chicken fried steak was a grenade frozen one, sausage links were overly fatty. Not sure those are their famous for dishes but not certain I will go back.

Arthur Shingler

Really solid and good traditional breakfast. Service was outstanding.

Sue Walters

Great food, excellent service. Loved the atmosphere.

James K. Seamons

Great old fashion Cafe. Simple but good food.

Cory Fuller

Went here for lunch, tried sample of gravy and it had a slimy texture to it and not good. I asked to try sample of tuna for their special and they couldn’t give me sample so I ended up getting the sloppy joe special. Sloppy joe was very dry and not much flavor. My wife ended up getting tuna special and it was gross! She barely ate half of her sandwich before telling me how bad it was. I sent back my meal and decided not to eat anything. My wife should have done the same thing, we were excited to try this cafe and it let us down big time! Spent $11 on a tuna sandwich that frankly tasted and looked liked cat food.

Steve Furchak

Great food and excellent service

Michelle Teninty

Fun place with great food!

Levonne Otter

Awesome food and service

Karen Ultis

An excellent retro environment. Old style hamburgers, breakfast menu and coffee, salads and soups too. Open for breakfast and lunch.

Chloe Rambo

I absolutely loved this place. I went here after a failed trip to Eagle Island during one of Boise's grand rain torrents and this diner cheered me right up! The food was amazing - seriously, the plate-sized pancake is a wonder. So so good! The coffee was great, and staff was sweet and filled coffee cups promptly. And plus, the walls are decorated with great '50s everything! Marilyn Monroe portraits, Elvis, records everywhere. So fun. It's a pretty small restaurant, but worth it in the authentic '50s vibe. I'll definitely return.

Greg Dennler

They are open 7 days a week and only mornings- early afternoon. Location is excellent! It's right next to the McDonalds on Meridian Rd., in front of Winco and right off the Freeway. Inside is classically decorated with cars and more vintage 50's theme items such as the iconic Marilyn Monroe. I ordered the chopped salad and my partner ordered an omelet. The food, to both of us, was meh-- just ok-- nothing to write home about. The staff was friendly, and it appeared that they have been there a long time because they had a bunch of regulars that walked in the door. It's worth a stop by-- especially if you're into vintage cars and 50's theme.According to the Yelp photos-- their take on the classic milk shake looks pretty good!

Aaron Reese

Great food and atmosphere. The service is awesome and the cooks are great at what they do the food tastes amazingly good.

Mary Mulder

Great, reasonably priced breakfast. Hashbrowns perfect. Service sxcellent!

Fred D

Good food an GREAT ATMOSPHERE Especially like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe corner

George Parsons

Great people and food

Lupita Valles

I asked for soup and salad. They don't have that combo on their menu, the waitress had a difficult time with my request. At the end the cheese broccoli soup and the salad were so unappetizing that I did not eat them. I will not go back.

Mike Laughridge

not bad but the lunch special I had was just fair. I will give them another chance.

Eileen Hoogland

Very pleasant wait staff and good food

brett Wrice

The overall experience was good, food was good and our waitress Candice was top notch

Joshua Broadhead

It is an old style cafe with pictures of classical celebrities all over the walls. The food was pretty good and the staff super friendly.

Barbara Mcvey

Food was good and our waitress was friendly. Prices on the menu appeared reasonable unless you add cheese or gravy, big up charge.

wayne giampoala

Good food and atmosphere.

selena king

High prices, low quality. Chicken burger was nearly $10, but the piece of chicken was so small it only was on half the bun. Said Swiss cheese, but it was cheep no taste American cheese. Fries were frozen, breaded and barely warm.

Michelle Creech

Expected homemade, definitely was not... burger with side salad was 9.95, salad was like she reached in a premade bag and tossed it on the plate, ranch was bottled unfortunately. Burgers appeared to be premade frozen patties, chili on burger was a generic canned chili. Onion rings were the best part of my lunch and they weren't great... waitress barely spoke to us. We were very disappointed. In no hurry to go back for sure.

Kody Beck

Family friendly delicious eatery!! They remember your name and that's incredible

Erick Bostrom

Food was actually pretty good as was the service and very timely but I would think so as it was a quiet Sunday morning. My only issue was the environment as it is quite apparent that some love needs to go back into it. Just from my seat, I spotted at least 7 unclean and put off visuals that just made me not want to be there and question the cleanliness of the operation. We would come back as the food was good But the inside just needs a sprucing up with a couple hundred bucks and a few hours and I think it would make quite a difference. Am I reading the menu wrong or is it coming across that two eggs are $7.25.

Chris Evans

Fantastic food and very friendly service. It's usually busy but worth the wait.

Richard Lee

Greeted right away, seated right away, food was exactly as ordered with a short wait, even though the place was busy. Excellent dining experience.

dANO ohare

Ed’s 50’s Cafe is my perfect breakfast joint. The coffee is hot and the food is honest, delicious, consistent and comforting. To sum it up in one word, I’d have to say Ed’s 50’s Cafe is Splendid. Another reason I love this place is the wait staff. Delora and all the girls treat you as family. To me, their customer service is top notch! Stop by for a visit and you’ll be hooked. Keep up the good work girls!

Rodney Johnson

Great service as well as great food

Mags Shaw

Good, ample portions, but lacking "excitement" in the flavor category.

Ellie Peterson

Great service, food, and atmosphere! I would drive all the way back from Jackson Hole, Wy (6 hours) just for another visit!!!

greg sykes

Great staff and the flat iron steak n eggs is to die for

Robin Hiaring

The good was great! The fries are close to the best I have ever had.

pam acuff

Good food and service

Rodney Frank

Place is old...but decorated with old pictures of cars and trucks. Staff is friendly. Food is average breakfast fare. A waffle, two eggs and two bacon for 10.75 is too expensive. That would be $8 anywhere else. Because of the price and average food, we won't be back. However in a pinch this would be a decent place. Saying all that...other people might have better experiences so give them a try and make your own decision. Oh and coffee is decent.

Mario Trevino

LOVE'S THIS PLACE NICE N Friendly's GOOD FOOD TRY IT MY FRIEND'S

Jeff Paulus

Delicious food, chili was awesome and the chicken special was enjoyed by my wife and daughter.

Susan Bruce

Very good food, super friendly staff. Quick service & on top of everything.

Michael Wheeler

Great little diner, good burgers, comfort food, breakfast and their onion rings are superb. Price are reasonable and portions are good. The staff is competent and friendly and they get a bunch of regulars which says a lot about the place.

Cerina Wickham

It was good. A little less grease for the frys. Waitress was good.

Robert Shapiro

Honestly, it was terrible! The eggs and hash browns were ice cold like they made them first and they sat there getting COLD while they slapped together a sausage patty and then when I complained they stuck some hash browns in the microwave and rushed them out ! Small portions as well ! Toast didn't even come until I was about a third the way done eating and they weren't even busy !!! More than a couple of waitresses also ! No excuses!! Watered down coffee as well ! Then when I got my check I said are you kidding me !??! $12.00 down the drain and I was still hungry !! They have Marilyn Monroe and James Dean pictures all over the walls ! That's what you're paying for ,to look at those sad old pictures ! Should be shut down in a few months I would think !! Don't waste your time or money here ! When I brought it to the manager's attention she said I'm sorry and couldn't even look me in the eye and walked away !! Shame on them !!!

Monica Miriello

Huge pancake, great prices, delicious everything, friendly service,. I love it!

I am on the keto diet, so sometimes I have to explain things to servers about what I can eat. The waitress I had here was very accommodating and seemed to even know stuff about the keto diet. I had a delicious steak and eggs and I was very happy.
