A longtime breakfast and lunch spot in Boise has returned to life with upgrades to the building \u2014 serving breakfast and lunch again.<\/p>\n

Bobby\u2019s Cafe recently opened at 6767 W. Fairview Ave., after a remodel of the former Original Sunrise Cafe, which closed last year. The locally owned restaurant should be a draw for Idahoans hungry for traditional, family-style dining with a few modern brunch twists.<\/p>\n

\u201dWelcome home,\u201d the restaurant proclaims on social media, where it describes itself as a place for \u201chearty breakfasts, generous portions and reasonable prices.\u201d Menu highlights include \u201cfluffy buttermilk pancakes, homemade biscuits and gravy, fresh Wagyu burgers, irresistible melts, and scratch-made comfort food with genuine hospitality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, Bobby\u2019s says that about 90% of its food is made from scratch. \u201cEnjoy a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice,\u201d the restaurant adds, \u201cor have some fun at our bottomless, create-your-own-mimosa juice bar!\u201d<\/p>\n

Early feedback is glowing. Bobby\u2019s is rated 5 out of 5 stars on Google, where it has racked up 17 reviews. \u201dClassic diner, great food and service,\u201d the most recent submission says. \u201cHuckleberry lemonade mimosa was very good, decent pricing and very clean on the inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u201cCome \u201cCome hungry. Stay awhile. Leave like family,\u201d Bobby\u2019s Cafe says on its website. bobbyscafe.org <\/p>\n

\u201cWe found our new breakfast restaurant,\u201d another review says. \u201cGreat food, nice atmosphere, and exceptional service. Only negative is that it\u2019s a bit pricey, but what isn\u2019t nowadays?\u201d<\/p>\n

Prospective customers can judge whether they\u2019ll find the tab \u201creasonable\u201d or \u201cpricey\u201d by perusing the menu on the restaurant\u2019s website. A three-egg Denver omelet? $14.50. Eggs Benedict? $15.50. A breakfast burrito? $14.50. Steak and eggs? $18.99. A cheeseburger or French dip? $15.99.<\/p>\n

Bobby\u2019s Cafe is a local outlier in what has felt like a mini-barrage of breakfast-chain news. Rapidly expanding Florida brand First Watch has opened three Idaho locations in the past year \u2014 all in Meridian. Arizona-based Over Easy is planning to expand to Meridian next year, too.<\/p>\n
