Addie's — Restaurant in Idaho

I decided to bring my brothers and friends here after a great experience the first time.

BOY did this time change my mind about this place.

We got seated quickly, coffee quickly, but it took around ten minutes for our waitress to come to the table. Our waitress was a bit abrasive when talking with us, which is fine, and soon enough our orders were in. As soon as we got our food, my little brother noticed mold on his bun. It wasn't a lot, but it was bright green mold. After debate on if we should tell them or not, we decided it was the right thing to do. Very kindly, we informed an older waitress passing by that there was mold on the bun. She didn't say anything, gave a frustrated look, and stormed away. As we were sitting there waiting, the waitress came back and very bluntly went "So what's going on here guys." Like we had done something wrong. We kindly once again said that there was mold and we weren't upset. All we wanted was a new bun so my brother could enjoy his burger. She took the burger back and then came to us stating that all of the buns they had left had mold on them and offered to use regular bread as the substitute. We said it was fine and she soon brought the burger back. Sadly, most of us had finished almost all of our food by the time he was able to start. As he began to eat his burger, he pulled out a long black hair. At this point he had lost his appetite and wasn't able to finish it. We would've informed them of the hair had they been kind to us about their first mistake, but we didn't feel it was worth it. She also forgot my english muffin that she charged me extra for. AND We also found black hairs in our coffee cups. As we were ready to check out, the waitress could not figure out the computer system so the orders on split checks were all wrong, but we were understanding and didn't feel like fighting it anymore. We got our receipts and lined up to pay at the door and the employees were fighting loudly and in front of our faces! Telling each other that they didn't like each other's attitudes and to go home and that "they run this restaurant better than all of you!" The man checking us out was also getting frustrated and screaming "NEXT!!" while slamming our receipts on the counter. I made a comment "oh no this place is falling about at the seams!" as a joke, and he said "it's just this seventeen year old girl who thinks she owns the place." She was our waitress. Long story short, Gordon Ramsey needs to come in and whip this place into shape. Moldy hairy burgers are...

8/18/2018 - I had high hopes for this restaurant since it is only four blocks from me and I am always looking for a good place for Saturday/Sunday breakfast. Unfortunately there is nothing to recommend them. Got there at 8:05 AM Saturday morning, as soon as I walked in you could hear the volume of the entire room even though there only three other guests; one man at a booth and two other fellows at another booth, otherwise the main room was empty. I was greeted by a host with, and I don't know how else to put this, a creepy Gary Busey vibe like he'd been to maybe 3,000 too many California beach parties. They did bring my coffee quickly and had my order in by 8:10 - basic bacon and eggs with toast and hashbrowns. I finished the first cup of coffee, there was a fellow walking around with the coffee pot but he ignored me twice, I even literally shouted at him 8 feet away and he just kept going like he was sleep walking. He finally turned around when he got back to the prep area and I was able to wave him down. The toast arrived at 8:20. The main order did not arrive until 10 minutes later at 8:30. The bacon was done okay but the eggs had already started to cool off, they were barely above room temperature and were completely cool by the time I'd eaten half. By the time the main dish arrived the toast had also completely cooled off. The hashbrowns were the typical "take it out of the freezer and lightly grill it until the inside thaws" - but almost nobody makes real hash browns any more. The inside of these was barely warm. I took two bites and there was something "off" about the taste so I didn't eat any more of those. There was just nothing to recommend the place at all - the young woman who took the order and served the food was pleasant but never once came back to see if there was anything I needed, then the lackadaisical attitude of the other staff and badly prepared and timed food made it three strikes in a row. With three or four other breakfast choices conveniently close who have good service and great food I doubt I'll go back to Adddie's. It's a shame, too, I did have such high...

After reading mixed reviews, we finally decided that we would give the place a shot. We showed up yesterday around noon for brunch. When we walked in, the place was packed and the manager informed us the seater would be with us. Okay, plus one for customer service. Almost instantly, the seater shows up, and asks us to follow her to the back room. She points to a “cozy” table from the entrance of the room, hands us menus and leaves us to navigate all the chairs from a large party and a baby carrier while she disappears. We make it to this “cozy” table only to have no breathing room. My husband was not comfortable and we tried to jimmy the table to an angle so we could fit. I started eyeing the two other tables around us to move to once vacated. The seater returns with water and disappears again. My husband and I have finally decided what we wanted but the waitress was nowhere to be found. At one point, a women came to the large party and apologized for missing a drink but then disappears. The large party was muttering about how they hadn’t even ordered yet. Finally, my husband was fed up. We had been sitting in an incredibly cramped booth, no one waiting on us, and looking at the prices for breakfast food. He made the decision to leave. The large party noticed and commented as I was walking out, “maybe we should leave too?” We eventually ended up at Elmer’s Diner, and had a very delicious meal and experience. I’m a little upset I didn’t get to at least try the food at Addies, but the reviews are true folks, service is not a priority, and we won’t be back and we won’t recommend it to anyone. Elmer’s now has repeat...
