Description

Conveniently located in Meridian, Idaho, Express Café attracts mixed reviews from patrons. While some rave about its generous portions and friendly service reminiscent of a family kitchen, others report disheartening experiences marred by perceived age bias and overcrowded conditions. Customers have highlighted delicious breakfast options, particularly the beer-battered fries and crispy hash browns, yet lament the restaurant's chaotic seating process and cleanliness issues. Despite occasional long waits and high prices, loyal customers remain devoted, drawn by hearty meals and a bustling, warm atmosphere. Overall, Express Café has the potential to be a local favorite, albeit with inconsistencies.

This is a very unique little restaurant. It was our first time dining here and we really enjoyed it. The food and service were both excellent.

I absolutely adore this place. It's a local gem that my family and I have been frequenting for 20 years now, it's our go-to spot for fun. Whenever I bring a friend for breakfast, I make sure to arrive early and tell the waiter to double whatever my friend orders. They always double the portion, which is already quite generous. The look on my friend's face when they see the huge meal is priceless. I gladly foot the bill and leave a generous tip. On a recent visit, I discovered a new favorite - crispy deep-fried hash browns that are out of this world delicious. I have been ordering hash browns for 20 years and have never had them come out perfectly crispy until now. I can't get enough of them!

We are visiting from another state and decided to stop at this restaurant after seeing how well they treat their servers and the rave reviews about the food. We ordered the French toast and biscuits with gravy and were extremely satisfied with our meals. They were delicious! We wish we could bring them back home with us. Highly recommend trying this place!
