This place is so so good!!! The loaded bagel sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel is quite literally the best breakfast sandwhich I have ever had! Good service and delicious cookies. I love it here favorite breakfast around!
A quaint little place in Fruitland, Idaho, decorated with antiques. Order at the counter, and they bring the food out to the table.I ordered the cowboy Cuban samminch with ham, shredded pork, pickle, mustard and mayo. The bun was stuffed and so was I after finishing it. I wasn't going to, but it was probably the best samminch I've ever eaten. There was a lot of mayo, so adjust your order to your liking.Service was great as well! There will be another trip there in the near future. Closes at 2PM. Well done folks!
Recommended by sis in utah (ystrdy) & came 400 miles to try it by the vry nxt morning3 (20 taxi fare each way for the last leg of the journey was def worth it--luckily they were kind enough to let us sneak into the brkfst menu last min evn tho they were just switching to lunch, thats what we were hoping to try most-big brkfst fans) ...Great spot! Ordered a lil of everything, food was all cooked perfectly, sooo good, any foodie will surely agree when everything is done exactly the way it should be...great portions too, orders accurate & surprisingly fast...cozy environment that feels like being at a friend's house (nice patio too!) ... cool art & wearables for sale...service was amazing too, they definitely went above & beyond, def feel confident recommending & def looking forward to returning!
Five star Good Food!The best I've had at a local restaurant in over four years!For those needing gf options - perfection!
Fast, friendly service. Cute cow themed atmosphere. Love that they left the front door open to keep air circulating, as it was just slightly too cold to sit outside.Portion sizes are so generous even my husband had leftovers, which is unheard of.Highly recommend getting the bird and berry on flatbread.
Definitely deserves 5 stars! The sandwiches are huuugge and delicious! The Italian cow is my go to, so good! The bacon, ranch flatbread was awesome. The service was great! It's nice you can sit inside or outside. Even the side salad has eggs in it! You don't see that very often. Bloodys were good with bacon, egg and pickle! So good!
I had take-out and ordered the Cuban, the berry turkey sandwich and Mac and cheese. I was pleasantly surprised at the huge portions. The food quality is some of the best I have tasted at a deli. The Mac and cheese is a must when you visit. I'll definitely be back!
The owner is very friendly and put together an impressive little place.The first time I came, it was on a Saturday and they were swamped. Today I managed to come in when only a few people were here. The atmosphere is very cozy.The first time, I ordered the breakfast burrito. It's a monster. Today I got the bagel. Also a monster. You probably won't leave here hungry.
