Horrible management, food was absolutely rancid for the cost, and I lowkey got stereotyped 😟 do not recommend this establishment at all. Save your time and money and run to your nearest fast food restaurant.

We came here as a party of 11, and had great, quick service! It's a large family style restaurant. The menu has a good variety for everyone to choose from. The only strange thing was they put the syrup on the French toast, not on the side. And it was way too much. Also with a side salad, they put way too much dressing on it. So make sure to order those things on the side!

New waitress, no training got my order wrong. Sent the order back and they prepared the correct order the burger was raw in the middle I let the manager know and he told me he told me that he personally saw the cook check the temp and it was 150 degrees. 160 degrees is the health department required temp.
We won't be back under current management

Went for breakfast this morning and looking on the menu I decided I had a hankering for some country fried steak (#4). It came out perfect, the sourdough toast was perfect, everything is made just right. The prices are decent for what you get we were very happy and very full all day today :)

Stopped in here for brunch on our way back from Sun Valley to Boise. Pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant very clean, airy; the staff very hospitable and accommodating. Great menu and couldn't fault the food at all (only wish I'd hadn't been so full to grab one of the huge cake slices on the way out!!). I would highly recommend A J's above the fast-food places nearby.

Definitely not the well supplied well staffed great food place we've stopped at for years on our frequent trips to Boise.
Was kind of looking forward to the salad bar they used to have and that is no more.
Too bad must be another victim of pandemic downfall and supplier and staffing issues that have torn many businesses down, hope they can pull it back together.

Looking at my empty dinner plate, where's the rib-eye, baked potato, salad, beer (and a shot)? Don't ask! Anne barely touched her teriyaki, but we'll have something for Lunch, after all, today was all about carrots, celery, apples, and water

I was craving eggs and hash browns... I saw an eggs Benedict on the menu but sadly I'm vegetarian and they only had the one option. They substituted tomato and avocado for the ham and it was terrific! They also have a large selection of pie slices as you walk in, I love the cherry pie. The restaurant looks nice, clean, and welcoming. The service was great, and pretty fast as well. Worlds better than a Dennys or similar that might usually be near a truck stop. Very convenient for truckers.

Wow!! This place really have home cooked dishes here!! We had the Ribeye Steak dinner and the T-Bone Steak dinner! The steaks... to be honest where not cooked to the way we asked. They used high high heat. And seasoning could have been alittle more. Their Brown Gravy is AMAZING!!! I've never had gravy like theirs!!! What ever their secret recipe is, is awesome!! I could taste a hint of pecans. And lots of scratch gravy recipes do add grounded nuts.
We got desserts too! OMG!! HEAVEN!!! We got Strawberry pie and Double cream cheese cake! Both of these together was

You've got to be kidding me!!! We ordered pick up from here tonight 5/11/21 . I ordered the chicken fried steak meal ($11.99) with the gravy on the side. What I got looked like elementary school food or prison food! I will let the readers of this review decide which one it resembles as Ive never been to prison. I could pick up the entire lump of mashed potatoes with my fork. (It could potentially be used as a weapon in a prison riot ). The corn was inedible with many hard kernels and and very unpleasant taste. I'm not sure how someone messes up corn, but they did. The only good thing

Had breakfast. The food was fantastic! The pancakes were to big for the plates. Recommend they get bigger plates. Can't go wrong with breakfast at AJs

$2.50 for a glass of coke. Limited menu - your by a lake, no pike or walleye? service was good. food was edible. Knockings off a whole bunch 50 cent's is hardly a special.

Wasn't sure what to expect. We had been driving for at least 4 hours and we needed a break. Not a thing was happening in this little town so we decided to take a lunch break.

This place looks like something straight out of the 70's. It's clean, but the menu leaves you wondering why we even stopped. I didn't want coffee or a soda. So just had water. I ordered the blta croissant sandwich, and asked that they hold the bacon. I didn't realize there was also turkey in the sandwich. I was too hungry & tired to ask that it be taken back. Besides, I always fear that some one
