An Arizona-based breakfast chain has big plans for the Treasure Valley.
It all starts in Meridian early next year.
Growing regional brand Over Easy will be one of the tenants at the 220-acre District at Ten Mile development, just off Interstate 84. It’s slated to open sometime in 2027.
But before that restaurant launches, the chain will make its Idaho debut at another spot: The Village at Meridian. Over Easy plans to take over the former Blaze Pizza space at 2206 N. Eagle Road, suite 140.
That restaurant is on track to open in the first quarter of next year, Over Easy co-owner Ryan Field said.
Over Easy’s latest location opened in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in late spring. To celebrate, the restaurant offered a promotion where kids ate free all weekend, and adults could buy a mimosa for a penny with the purchase of an entrée. Over Easy/Facebook
The District at Ten Mile and Village at Meridian locations are the only Over Easy restaurants under development in the Boise area “as of now,” he added, “but we’re actively pursuing more locations in the valley.”
That type of expansion would put Over Easy on an Idaho path similar to Florida-based brunch brand First Watch, which has opened three Gem State locations in the past year — all in Meridian.
Over Easy, which operates 19 restaurants in Arizona, unveiled its first out-of-state location this past spring in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
“The expansion represents another milestone for the Arizona-born brand, which has grown from a single neighborhood breakfast spot in Phoenix to one of the country’s fastest-growing breakfast concepts,” a press release said. “Known for its made-from-scratch breakfast, brunch and lunch menu, Over Easy has built a loyal following through signature dishes including Banana Nut French Toast, Chilaquiles, Golden Waffle Dogs and the Monte Cristo.”
Combining a welcoming, modern interior with appealing entrees and “daytime cocktails,” Over Easy has created a brand with wide appeal. “Whether you’re craving a classic American breakfast, a boozy brunch, or a casual lunch, we’ve got something for everyone to enjoy,” its website promises.
“We are incredibly proud to see Over Easy continue to grow beyond Arizona,” COO Brian Terpay said in a prepared statement. “The response we’ve received in Sioux Falls has been overwhelmingly positive and reinforces what we’ve always believed — great food, genuine hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere resonate no matter where you are. As we look ahead to Boise and beyond, we’re excited to introduce even more communities to the Over Easy experience.”
Over Easy has already racked up more than 100 Google reviews at the new Sioux Falls restaurant, earning a 4.5-out-of-5-star rating. “The atmosphere is inviting and cheerful, perfect for the morning,” a recent 5-star review raved, calling the food “amazing.”
Breakfast news has been coming out of the oven steadily in the Treasure Valley lately. A new local destination, Bobby’s Cafe, opened in late September at 6767 W. Fairview Ave. in Boise.
“Over Easy has earned national recognition from Food Network, Bon Appétit and Travel + Leisure, which named the concept among America’s best breakfast destinations,” according to a press release. @eatatovereasy/Instagram
