it's not that I don't see the value in webpages, it's just one more thing that requires time to manage! we have our hands full just keeping the Cafe in good order!

For large portions and delicious food (including homemade scones!) plan a visit to Merritt's Family Restaurant in Boise, Idaho.

6 AM to 3PM 7 days a week!!!!!!!!!! We changed our hours almost 8 Months ago, we have repeatedly gone to several sites that post businesses such as Google, Yelp and Facebook! We changed the hours they have posted to reflect we are open from 6;00 am to 3;00 pm 7 days a week! 8 months later Google has got it correct, yet we still get people that show up and get angry because we are closed, But the app they use says we are open! We even had one lady telling us we had to stay open and honor the hours as they are posted on the internet! LMAO If you know how to take absolute control over the internet, please share that! Many of the Apps create unauthorized profiles of Businesses they use what ever information they can glean from the internet and create the page without the knowledge of the business! if you look closely at many of these you will see a button that states if you are the owner of this business click here to claim your page! Its a hustle, when you as the owner go to their link they want to sell you services when all you want is for them to quit putting false or misleading information out there! For those that dont know this! Just because you found it on the internet doesn't make it correct!

Like so many Business's we are currently struggling to keep a full staff! Currently we have been closing our afternoon/evening shift during the week. Mon- Tue-Wed we will be closed at 4 pm! On that note we are actively Hiring for all positions, we provide training, our pay scale is very competitive! We are very flexible with scheduling we can offer you from 1-5 shifts a week if you looking for Full time or just a part time job!

Happy Thanksgiving! For the last 9 years my wife and I have been preparing a big feast at the Cafe for our employees and regulars who don't have family in the area to share the holiday with! Sadly with the Covid this year we have scaled things down this year, we will still be preparing dinner for the handful of regulars, the Café is closed but we will invite them in and provide them with a Thanksgiving feast while maintaining the guidelines we have had to operate under! I would like to express my gratitude to all of the Customers and Employees that have continued to support the Café thru the last 8 months. We are thankful for the amazing community that has shown so much compassion and support for the business's in our city, and the patience we have all had to display with the Covid restrictions! We pray that you will all have a safe and happy Holiday, God bless all of you!

We will be opening for in house dining on Monday the 18th, as with many other restaurants we are having to make changes to the facility to meet the new guidelines! On a separate note we have made the decision to not involve ourselves with DoorDash and GrubHub, We understand many of you enjoy the delivery service which could actually work well for all of us, In our situation they are very time consuming for our staff as they are a third party trying to place orders, if we don't have exactly what the customer is wanting we get put on hold while they resolve the issue, its very time consuming. The primary reason we have chose to not do business with them on more than one occasion when they go to pay their cards get declined, they go out to their vehicles presumably to resolve the issue or get a different card, and they leave! We can not afford to prepare food just to throw it in the trash! We are excited to get the doors open and anxious to see how it works with the restrictions in place, Be safe and have a great day!

A big thank you for all of you who have been using our curbside services, I suggested to my wife we take a step back to the past and start carhop service, the slowest part of curbside is placing the order over the phone, so if you pull in if someone don't come out right awayHonnk your horn they will bring a menu and take your order, relax in your car catch up on your social media of choice and they will bring your food out! Unlike traditional Carhops we wont be having anyone on roller skates or be hanging a tray off your window! lol We look forward to opening the dining room soon, we will not expect customers to be wearing mask as that is kind of ridiculous in a restaurant, however our staff will be wearing Mask and gloves along with sanitizing the tables and seating between customers, we will adhere to the guidelines set out by the Health department and we would like to ask any who are not feeling well to please stay home or order togo! All of us are very tired of this whole situation dealing with the virus. we Will do everything we can to keep both our employees and customers safe!

We are Changing the Hours for Curbside, 8 am to 10 pm! A big thank you to all of you for your support! We appreciate your support! we will continue to expand hours as demand dictates! To place your orders pleases call 208-853-1801, once again we can not have any one in the Café until the orders are lifted! We have repainted the Exterior of the building and have done quite a bit of work inside as well,we look forward to sharing these changes with all of you!

Orders will need to be placed by phone 208-853-1801 you will need your card info to place an order, the waitstaff will bring your order and receipt out to you!

We look forward to getting back on track!
