I went on a Saturday morning, but because I was by myself it was easy to seat me at the bar, so there was no wait though the restaurant was quite busy. I asked the regular (75 yr old man) and the trucker on either side of me what the best food on the menu was. I wasn't disappointed with their suggestions! Delicious food! I will say though, sitting at the bar, I could see everything the cooks put in the window and I will definitely have to return for at least four drool-inducing meals that I didn't order!! The atmosphere was especially nice; it was the classic diner not a modern interpretation. Loved it!
When the welcome sign offers even more comfort than the down home comfort food... Well then I'm sold! Awesome food, huge portions and amazing service! Best restaurant I went to on my trip to Idaho!
My husband and I were here to enjoy breakfast Saturday morning. What a fantastic dining experience we had! First off, then food was excellent. Omelet, hashbrowns, pancakes, sausage...all cooked perfectly, served hot and fresh, and very flavorful. Secondly, extraordinary service. Dolly was, hands down, the best server we've ever had anywhere. Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and apparently a mind reader as we didn't have to wait for anything, our every want anticipated. Coffee topped off the moment a mug got a little low, water refilled instantly, hot sauces brought to the table before food was put down - all without us having to ask or wait for any of it. It was clear to see everyone working there was operating together as a team. Things ran smoothly and all were friendly with a smile on their face. So nice to see! Everything about our visit added up to an amazing experience. Thank you Harlows, we'll definitely be back!
Fantastic restaurant! My daughters and I ate here last weekend. The hostess got us seated very fast , even though it was busy. She got us drinks and let the server know when we were ready. Our server was amazing and very quick to bring our food out. The omelette was delicious. 5 stars harlows.
Only breakfast place you need to know about. Prices are great, food is always consistent and delicious. Can't think of another breakfast restaurant that can top what these guys are doing.
Our new favorite breakfast Nook replacement! Super easy parking, restaurant really clean and spacious. I ate the number 1 and swapped toast and potatoes for really nice pancakes. Waitress was awesome! We'll definitely be back.
Great service, great food! We ate here twice in 1 week. I had the eggs benedict both times, it was so good! Eggs cooked perfectly, muffins done enough to hold the sauce, the ham is delicious, and they make homemade hollandaise - amazing! I am VERY picky about the hollandaise! My husband's waffles, grandkids' kids pancakes, bacon - all tasty! You can get huckleberries on amy of them! Yum!! Highly recommended by my family!
