Brought in a full catered breakfast on site for our office. LaDonna was amazing and so easy to work with. The set up was wonderful and festive, and the food was great, not one complaint! Hope to work with North Hiway again as a catering option in the future!

The food here was amazing!!! Typically my family is loud at meals, but the food was so good, we spent our time eating instead of talking. Our waitress was very accommodating. It is a small space, but very cozy. The decorations are so fun! Thank you for the wonderful meal! I would recommend the club burger anytime!

I went in for a quick breakfast and was a little disappointed because it was pretty busy and things took longer than expected. We got our drinks and after about an hour or so we got an unfortunate emergency call and had to leave in a hurry. Our food had not yet arrived and I wasn't quite sure what to do. I approached the front counter and explained the situation offering to at least pay for our sodas. But the wonderful lady just said "nevermind" and told us not to even worry about it.

Unexpected and delightful find in Idaho falls. Traveling through and looking for an easy stop for lunch with our travel trailer in tow. Plenty of curb street parking for longer rigs like ours.

Local diner that specializes in food that will probably slowly kill you but know that you will die happy. Huge portions of comfort food. Staff is as local as the shop - ambiance is local diner, emphasis on local. Big menu - everything good - tried and proven. A sign says it all - this place came through the great depression, WW2, and COVID. That doesn't happen unless you are doing it right. They are. Highly recommend.
